NOT DECEIVED BY
 PEACE OFFENSIVE
Huns Double Purpose is First to Pla- cate Socialists at Home, Second to Weaked the Allied
 Governments.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The German peace offensive is now recognized by officials here as being in full swing A progressive campaign is ceisrly in-s dicated by the apparently casual re~s m rks of Premier von Hertling few days ago followed by the more formal statement to the visiting German 1ewspapermen in Vienna by Count Burian, the Austrian foreign min ister, the remarks of the German. crown prince and now the speech o.e the kaiser to the working people as, Essen
 ! Peace proposals from these sources would appear incongrous were the of ficials not convinced of the inseincer- ity Of the movement, which again is recognized as having the double pur- pose of placating the uneasy and rest less German Socialists sand at the same time appealing to pacifists in the entente countries and America ill the hope of weakening the allied gov ernments in prosecution of the war. For some time American agencies have been active in Europe ill supple menting the publicity efforts of the entente government ill Germany. AL ready the see6s sown have begun to grow as evidenced by Hindenburgs frantic appeal to the German people to be on their guard against poison ed literature" being introduced into Germany. The kaiser's repition of the entente is to destroy the German people is designed to counteract the effect of clear statements in the American literature that Americas only purpose is to destroy German militarism, a statement that has app paeled very strongly to the German Socialists

36 TO 20 AND B
 TO 36 MEN FIRST
They Will Be Classified Ahead of the Other New Registrants, Says CrOwder-Appeals to
 Employers.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Provost Marshal General Crowder announced today that the first call to the colors of men who register Thursday will in. clude men in the 19 and 20-year- old classes and in the classes from B to 36 years, inclusive. Question naires will go first to registrants with in these specified age limits, and local boards will be ordered to classify them first, in readiness for calls be- ginning in October.
 Young men in the 19 and 20 year classes, General Crowder said, will be accepted for induction into the stu dents army traininG corps, but he ssid that the authorized strength of this corps is only 150,O00 men, where .as the total number of registrants. be- low 20 will be more than 3,O0OOO0 The provost marshal general refused to discuss further the educational plans, saying they were not within his province He said that the total number of fit men which he expected to be secured from the classes over 32 is only 6O1, 1000.
 Appeals to Employers.
 General Crowder issued today a general appeal 10 employers to assist in the presentation of claims for oc- occupational exemptions and declared that this was the unexplored field of the new draft, and that no estimates could be made as to the number of men who ought to be excluded from military service in the upper age lim- it's because of tEeir occupation
 Emphasizing the importance to be attached to exemptions on the occu- optional grounds, General Crowder ap- pealed to e-.e.c,oyars and industrial leaders generally to make a special study of their field in this light of the draft requirements
 T address to them the suggestion that they cnarge themselves moro systematically with the reswonsibili- ty,'' he said, in pointing out that employers should present claims for men who might, through mistaken chivairy," fail to clcim exemption for themselves. At the same time, he sai'1, his suggestion had another phase, in that careful examination of industry might show some exemption claims to be unnecessary, and in this connection he added:
 Ths needs of the military forces are known and imperative. Any given quantity of deierments will ultimately have to be made up by the depletion of some other occupation" E

 Debs, fin his address to the jury, said he had. not one word to retract, and rather went out Of his way to explain the damaging St. Louis anti war platform.

GAS AND OIL DISCOVER
 ED NEAR LOCKESBURG
Gas and OH SpOuts From Test Hole t0 Top of Derrick Enlarg. ing Well-Search Be.
 gan in. 1908.

' From DeQueen Bee:
 Those who were present at the test hole being drilled at the Asa Bell place, two miles from Lockesburg, last Friday, say that when the drill reached a depth of two hundred feet blast of gas issued from the hole blowing mud, water and oil to the top of the derrick.
 A Bee representative visited the scene of operation Wednesday and found that the well had been plugged at the bottom, and worKnen were en- gagged in enlarging the hole to admit of cssing When this B completed the we'll will probably be "saot. The representative of the Bee brought back a small quantity of tne crude oil taken from the surface O. the water drawn from the well.
 There has been long search for oil in the eastern part of the county and numerous evidences O. it's ex- istence have been discoyeree.
 In 1909 9, company of which W. f.
 hols was the moving spirit drilled a hole TAO feet deep near the old salt w&4ks. It is said that several pockets ol kl were discovered in tt,is drilling. In 1910 Mir. Nichols was murdered by man by the name of Ford, and short ly afterward the work was suspended. This we'll was cased anu now produces a stream of flowing water. It is said that upon shaking the casing the well discharges a flow of gas th.. may te ignited with match.
 In 1916 another well was started on the Dr. Owens place, but it seems that the company was poorly financed and the machinery was finally sold by court order to satisfy claims against it. This we'll was abandoned at a depth of 600 feet.
 The present company was promoted by R. A. Gillian, B. A. Nall, Hal Vaughan and the Stuart Land Go. MT. Vaughan of Shamrock, Texas, is sup ervising the drilling. The drilling equipment is small and it was only intended to drill test holes. With de- velopments already achieved, the pro- motors are very sanguine of getting oil in paying quantities. The com pany has large number of leases and it is their intention to drill number of wells.

13,G0G,OO0 MEN REGISTERED
Patriotic Demonstrations Elsewhere
 Mark the Registration.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Thirteen mil lion men, probably more, the force from which will come the reserves to win the war, were registered today in the second great mobilization of the nations man power
 Demonstrations of patriotism every where marked the registration. In all the reports received during the day at the provost marshal generals of flee there was no suggestion of any disorder.
 The next move of the draft machine ry will be in the numbering serially of the registration cards. Until that work is completed by the local boards, the drawing of the order numbers which will determine in a measure the relative standing of the regis trants cannot be held.
 In the meantime, questionnairo will be sent to men between 19 and 21, and S2 and S6, so that they may be classified and some of them thus made ready for call in October after the na- ;.Cnal drawing is held.

AMERICANS IN A BIG OFFENSIVE
 20 MILE FRONT
Succeed in Pockcting Germans in St. Mihiel Salient-EneIny Can Scarce ly Leave Trap Without Huge
 Losses in Men and Material.

Paris. Sept. 12-The American First Army, under command of General Per shing, is in action against the Germans on 20-mile front on the famous St. Mihiel salient in Lorraine, which had stood a sharp wedge in the French line southeast of Verdun since the con- mencement of the war.
 In the preliminary thrust, ground was gained on both sides Of the tri- angle and also at it's apex at St. Mihiel, and at last accounts the Americans, with whom some French troops are brigaded, were fast sweep ing across the salient in an effort to close the mouth of the big pocket be- fore the Germans can eXtricate them selves from the perilous position they are in as a result of the swddenness of the blow and the surprise it c.lr- ried.
 Advance is Swift and Sure. Although the advance of the Amer jeans was swift and sure and gains in excess os four miles on the south ern side of the be)stle area were made, the cavalry far outstripped the tanks and infantry and was las: reported operating along the rai:roaG near Vigneulles, almost in the center of the salient and some 10 miles north east of St. Mihiel, and also northwest of Pont-a-M a-Mousson, through the for ests and along the railway fine run ming northward to Mesa, the great German fortress, the southern outer Notifications of which s-e less than 70 miles distant.
 Take Several Towns. Thiaucourt, Bouillonviiie, Pannes and several other towns i'll the south were captured in the first dash, while on the west at the northern edge of the pocket, the village oi Combres was captured and the en- virons O. Dommartin-14a Montague were reached To the south every where the Americans penetrated into the heights Of the Meues and the French fought their way into the out skirts of St. Mihiel. Unofficial re- ports say that the town has been re- captured by the French.
 The fighting front at tine com nencement of the battle aggregated 20 miles-eight miles on the western side and 12 miles on the southern side. The fighting was preceded by Ian extremely heavy artillery bom- bardment and the troops and tanks advanced under barrage which was carried out with mathematical pre- cision. X. .Asa
 Capture zoo Prisoners.
 From the VT maps it would seem almost ilbpossibIe for the Germans to evacuatel the salient, as they appar- entity are trying to do, without huge losses in men and material. The first reports show that the Americans took 700 prisb bners in the first stages of the battle and had suffered remark ably small casualties.
 The strategy of Marshal FOch in the pretent maneuver cannot be fore seen except that it has as the first objective the leveling of the St. Mihiel sector and the strengthening of the allied line from the region of Verdun eastward
