THE new REGISTRATION.
All Young Men Becoming Of Age Since Last
June Must REGISTER.

June Must Register.
The Secretary of War author
ICES the following:
With the signing by President
Wilson of the bill and proclama-
ton designating Wednesday,
June 5th. as the day on which
all men who have reached the
age of Fl since last June S shall
register for military service,
Provost Marshall General Crowd
er's Office Immediately began
preparations for the enrolment
OF the men Instead Of using
the election machinery as was
done last year, Gen. Crowder
will call upon local boards.
1t is believed that their expert
ence during the past year has
peculiarly fitted them to handle
the registration economically and
efficiently.
Gen Crowder has estimated
that probably three quarters of
a million men will be added to
the American Army by new regis
tration. His estimate is based
on the fact that 10000, men
registered last year. This num-
Der included all between the
ages of Fl and 81, and statistics
collected by General Crowder's
Office show that little more than
10 per cent [of these men were
81 years old. On the basis that
it is estimated by draft officials
that the total registration will
exceed 10, 600, 900, of which $780,
600 will be available for militar,
service. This makes proper
allowances for physical defective
exemptions because of depend
an IS, and other bars to military
service.
The law provides that every
young man in the United States
who has reached the age of 81
years since June 5, 1917, or will
reach the age on or before June
5 1913, must register. The only
exceptions are in the Eases of
men who are actually active in
military or naval services.
If you are one of the persons
required to register, if so take
notice! 1t is incumbent upon
you to present yourself to the
local board having jurisdiction
over your place of permanent
residence between the hours
of Z a. M. and 9 p. m. on June
5th, 1918.
If necessity requires you to be
absent from the jurisdiction of
such Board on the day of regis
tration, you are required to OBJ
tain a registration card, complete
the entries thereon before a mem
Der of the attache of any Local
Board in the United States, and
mail the same to the board hav-
ing jurisdiction over your home
address in order that same may
reach such board on or before
9 p. m.June 5th.
Failure of any person required
to be registered to perform any
duty prescribed by these regula-
lions is a misdemeanor, punish.
able by imprisonment for one
year and may result in the loss
of valuable rights and privileges
aud immediate induction TO SER
vice. All such cases will be
vigorously ferreted out and as
vigorously nprosecuted. Any in
formation that a prospective
registrant may desire will be
gladly furnished him at the
office of any Local Board through
out the county.

BIG GER IAN Drive ON,
Allied Forces Give Further Ground But Paris
is Confident Of a Turn 5000.

" hhaA v AAsh SeV0s
e: There has been no let up as yc.
in the German drive south from
the Aisne aud both French and
British forces are'giving further
grounu. Confidence is expressed
in Paris that the allied reserves
now coming up will shortly turn
the scale and stop the enemies
advance.
Apparently the Germans al
ready are being held in the CEN
er Of their advance along the
Eesle river in the vicinity Of
Fishes where the point of the
German wedge has been thrust.
The pressure On both the allied
TANKS, however, has been such
that both have been comp lied to
fall hack.
On the west the French lines
have been Withdrawn to the
easterly outskirts of Scissors
which town is about seven miles
south of the nearest point of the
battle line as it existed before
the drive was begun on Monday.
This considerably broadens to
the west the front on which the
enemy is advancing.
On the east the Franco-Bel.
gian line has been pulled back
from St Ehierry northwest of
Rheims where it rested yester
day, 10 the heights south and
southeast of that town. This
also has the effect of widening
out the flank of the enemy
thrust
The bringing OF Scissors in
the battle area indicates that the
weight of the German blow has
shifted in this direction and
is being excited along the rail
way that leads to Paris from
that town. The possibility that
the trend of the enemy push be
ing turned in this direction has
been forecast by commentators.
The Americans west of Mont
didier have further proved their
worth by resisting another Ger
man counter attack on new po-
sitions won by the Americans
yesterday when they drove into a
depth of nearly a mile and cap
tured the village of Cantingy.
The Germans we're repulsed in
their second effort as in the first
and suffered very heavy losses.
The German attack across the
Ainse apparently is slowing
down as the FrancoBritish troops
began counter attacks on the
wings and the French reserves
are rushing in to stem TIE enemy
onslaught in the centre where it
reached Vesle River.
Around the Fismes, halfway
between scissors and Rheims,
the center of important allied
communication, a desperate
battle is being fought.
Berlin also claims the Ger
mans have crossed the Vesle on
either side of Fismes but the
French are still in the town.

For more than two years the build
ing trades in Richmond and in fact in
all other cities have suffered to a
greater or less degree, due to unset
tied conditions brought about by the
war and the consequent high prices OF
material. There is a rosy outlook,
however, now that the war is over and
the long-expected revival along build
ing line is due to arrive next spring.
F.. In Richmond the real estate deal
ers have been kept busy with farm
sales, but city real estate has not been
in demand> and prices have been low
Vacant lot sales have been few and
the demand has been continuously far
below normal for two years.
There is bound to be decided re-
action next spring" said Richmond
dealer in building supplies today
"The man who has contemplated
building home and has been putting
off for several years, probably will
see his way clear next spring to build
1t is of course too early to predict just
what is going to happen in the way of
costs. but it is fair to presume that
materials will be no higher and as
matter Of fact there have been many
things higher in proportion than build
ing material during the last two years.
All over the country the building fever
is in evidence right now, though it
will not reach real activity until next
spring. Here in Richmond there is
