There is a spirit of romance about

of the war nothing is more important.

more, for they will carry the war into
Germany. Tons of high explosives
dropped from the skies are advance

walk right into the curtain FIRE from
their own artillery, which sweeps be.
fore them gradually and forces the
enemy to seek shelter.
Naturally such an advance is not
made without losses, for the enemy ar
tillery generally puts up counter-bar
rage which searches out the ground over
which the French are advancing.
At length the assaulting troops reach
their detectives, and immediately begin
to consolidate their positions by the
use of pick and spade and sandbags.
Every man carries with him several of
these bags, and as soon as the attack
ing force obtains footing in the OPP
posing trenches, squads of men are told
off to fill them and form with them q
parapet on what was originally the rear
OF the enemy trench, while their com
rades keep guard to ward off a pos
slble cOunter-attack.
The holding of a captured position is
one of the most trying tasks for the
troops, for almost inevitably a counter
attack, or perhaps several, will be
launched by the Germans, and it is then
that the discipline and tenaeitv of the
men are put to the severest test. The
enemy knows the exact position and
outline of the works he has lost, and IS
thus able to turn his guns on the occu-
pants with the greatest accuracy.

there Is nothing else to do but to stand
firm under the bombardment, taxes the
strongest morale. 1t must be said, how
ever, that the French even when it Is
extremely perilous to attempt to keep
them supplied with food and water ana
ammunition, generally manage to retain
any position they have once captured
Their stolidity under the heaviest losses
is worthy of all praise.
Any grumbling that the French NAV
have to do is left until they are re-
heved from duty in the front line and
taken TO the rear for "repose,' Re
pose is merely relative term, for at
the rear the troops are kept constantly
exercised, either in the ordinary drill of
regiment or in making sham attacks
on simulated positions or in practicing
with the most recently invented weap-
onS of the infantryman. Grumbling is
regarded as one of the rights of the
old soldier, and, as all The men in the

amount of 1t behind the lines The Off
GERS, however, know that il is all harm
less, for never on any occasion does il

Orders and Work Divided
into Four General Glasses,
with Subdivisions
ACTION TAKEN TO
SPEED UP SUPPLIES
Petitioners for Priority Asked to Con-
slider Whether It Is Needed to Help
Win the War-Wider Field of Opera
tions Than First Indicated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The priori-
ties division Of the war industries board
has made public priority circular No.
3. defining the regulations which the
priorltios division now has in effect for
determining precedence in orders and
work and describing the methods of adj
ministering them. The regulations are
subscribed TO by the secretary of war,
secretary of the navy, the chairman of
the shipping board and the president
q the emergency fleet corporation, and
the chairman of tho council of National
defense.
The circular discloSes a much wider
field of operations than that defined in
the first circular issued in September of
last year. The priority regulations APP
ply to all individuals, firms. associa-
tions, and corporations engaged in the
production of copper, iron, and steel
and IN the manufacture Of their prod
ucts; of chemicals, cotton duck, and
wooden cloth, and all such other raw
materials and manufactured products
as the committee may deem necessary
from time 10 time.
Under the new regulations all orders
and work are divided into four general
classes instead of three. as heretofore:
Class IA, Glass A. Glass b, and Glass
&, with such subdivisions as Glass
AL, Class AA.2. etc. Class Al, Class
B., etc. Glass "A comprises only
emergency war work Of special or
urgent nature. Glass a comprises all
other war work; that is TO say, orders
and work necessary 10 carry on the wa
such as arms, ammunition, destrovers,
submarines airplanes, locomotives etc,
and the materials or commodities re.
quircd in their production or manu-
faeturc. Class b comprises orders and
work which while not primarily de-
signed for the prosecution of the war.
vet are of public interest and essential
ito the national welfare or otherwise OF
Special Importance. Glass trycomprises
all orders and work not embraced in
the other three claSsifcations, and no
certificate will be issued therefor. All
orders, work, or materials not covered
by priority certificates will fall within
Class &.
The new regulations in no way
change or modify any priority orders
previously issued. The rule of proceed.
ure from now on is that orders ana
work in Class IA shall take precedence
Of those in all other classes; orders
and work in Glass \ preceding those
IN Glass b, and those, in turn, orders
and work in Glass {, irrespective Of
the dates the orders were placed.
THE classification Of an order" the
circular states, simply means that It

is based, in the name of the department

governments. In the latter case the
