Cities Should Furnish More Than

Washington, July 26.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder today in
formed state draft executives that
amdRe than so per cent of the $40, 500
@egb trants in the 1913 class are ex-
EperGed to be placed in Glass l as
physically qualified for general mill
Gary service and instructed them to
give special scrutiny to the report
Of any local board which fails to
classify this percentage.
This estimate, General Crowder
said, is based upon u study of the
operation of the draft and the only
exceptions which will be recognized
are in the case of communities hav-
ing o. large alien population, or which
have released large numbers of the
1918 class to the navy, marine corps
Or emergency fleet.
THE national average should be
much higher than so per cent. be-
cause industrial, agricultural and de-
tendency deferments and physical re-
Gections should be much lower" Gen
keral Growers message said.

OULCHY-LE-CHATEAU
TAKEN BY FRENCH
Continued from First Page)

British progress on the line from
GueuX and Mery-Premecy, west of
Rheims.
On the whole the German retire
ment from the Marine salient appears
to be going forward.
Caught as within a wise the Ger
mans are struggling at the height of
their strength to stay the steady pres
sure but apparently to no avail. The
French and Americans are advancing.
in a northeastery direction from
Chateau hierry and north from the
Marine, while the British and French
push forward northWestward up the
Ardre toward Fishes and the Nesle.
From east to west at the height of
the pocket is now but q miles, the
enemy having been forced back some
thing like 16 miles since Gen Foch
launched his cOunter-offensive. The
German lines of communication are
almost gone and the Allies are strik-
ing with force and moving rapidly
toward the two most important bases
within the salient, Fere- n-Tardcnois
and F'ismes. Allied guns now COM
mand every point in the pocket.
With the capture Of Oulchy-la-
Vile on the west and an advance Of
more than a mile on. the southwest
Fere- -Tardenois is now within
three and one-half miles of the AL
lied line in the Tourne1le Wood, where
the French continue. to progress. AL
lied pressure maintains it's forward
movement markedly between the
Ourcq and the Marine and the latest
gain has averaged moro than q mile
on tho entire front from the Ourcq to
DOrmans.
Heavily reinforced the Germans
are striking back with great vigor all
along this front as we'll as on the
eastern side of the pocket, They
have not been able to hold the Allies
from advancing. although their re-
sistance has stiffened constantly.
British and French troops arc un-
officially reported to have made an
advance of two miles toward Fismes
in the region Of Vrigny and have
reached Gouex and Mery-Premecy,
which now are the markers Of the
eastern side. The gain here not only
narrows the pocket but also places
in great jeopardy the German forces
who are north of the Marine in the
forests west and north of Chatillon.
Military observers on the battle
field believe that the Crown Prince,
before he begins a general retreat
with the possibility of losing q large
part of his forces now south of the
Vesle, will endeaYor to halt the AL
lies by launching q strong attack on
a more or less wide front in the re-
gion Of Soissins. Here. however, Gen.
Foch is protected somewhat by the
river Aisne and he also holds the high
ground southwest of SCISSORS.
Seventy German divisions are re-
ported to have taken part in the
fighting already and the enemy losses
are now estimated at 100000. More
than $4,000 prisoners have been tax
en- by the Allies as we'll as 5Oo guns
and thousands of machine guns.
Berlin reports that all Allied efforts
were frustrated Wednesday, It's brief
report on Thursdays fighting declares
there were rigorous local actions
between scissors and Rheims.
