OUTLINE OF PLAN OF WAR DE-
PARTMENT INDICATES BOYS
BETWEEN Is AND q ARE NOT
TO BE CALLED INTO SERVICE
BEFORE OTHERS IN CLASS one
HAVE BEGUN SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 20
Every man between Is and 45, who
may be subject to active military SER
vice under the new man power law,
will be needed by the army, by next
spring, anyway, General March, chief
of staff, told the House military affairs
committee today. He said that the
committee had better eliminate the
idea that the men in the 18 and 19
year classes would be placed in a
deferred class for any great length
of time"
General March stated that man
to be placed on the fighting line must
be called into training at least four
months before he is qualified to face
the enemy. On this basis, he added
the boys of Is and 10 must expect to
be called at least from four to six
months before June 80 next, when it
will be imperative that the Ameri-
can forces abroad be of sufficient
numbers to insure victory.
/ Secretary Baker previously told the
committee that Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder was now engaged on a
plan to separate those between 19 and
Sc into a different class which would
subject them to the draft before those
of IS and those betwene sc and 45
years. This would mean that under
the new man power bill those between
10 and q and between 81 and 36
would be called first.

POLICE COMMISSION
AFTER DOGS ROWING
UPON STREETS HERE

At a meeting of the police commits
sion held yesterday afternoon, the
matter of dogs rowing upon the streets
of Americus was discussed, and po-
licemen instructed to see that all such
dogs are either killed or otherwise
disposed of. One or two dogs, in
particular. have been reported to the
commission as being vicious and un-
rulable, and this probably accounts
for the order to keep all dogs off the
streets. 1t has been suggested that
inasmuch as dogs consume consid
erable quantity of needed foodstutfs
and of the strain already being placed
upon the food producing forces of the
nation, it has been suggested that a
heavy tax be placed upon persons
keeping dogs in the city, even when
such dogs are kept confined. but this
has not yet been adopted.

FRENCH PUSH ON
AND GAIN NEW
O|SE POSITIONS
WHOLE LINE FROM YPRES TO
RHEIMS BELIEVED TO BE
CRACKING UNDER CONTINUED
ALLIED SUCCESS.

LONDON, August 21.-French pro-
gress on the vital sector between the
Disc and scissors bids fair to bring
about a cracking of the German de-
fensive system from Ypres to Rheims.
Marshal Foch has connected up his
Marne and Picardy successes with a
new triumph which appears to be a
greater threat than either of the
others.
In the new major operation between
the Aisne and the Disc, the French
have gained the heights and are ad-
vancing rapidly toward the Disc, and
the supply lines connecting Laon and
other bases with the Noyon pocket.
In two days of local operations and
one given to a concerted attack, Gen.
Gangin has advanced more than two
and one-half miles on a front of more
than IS miles.
The Disc and the railway line par
elling it are but three miles away, and
the French apparently hold all the
important high ground which had
barred the way to Noyon and the line
of the Disc.
If Marshal FOch can push the adj
vance to the north of the. Disc, it
would appear to be inevitable that
the Germans should retire in Picardy,
probably to the old Hindenburg line,
and withdraw from the Vesle at least
to the Chemin Des Danes. With the
French north of the Disc, both these
enemy positions would be outfiank-
ed.
The French, however, surprised and
gained on Tuesday a half score
villages and captured 5000 prison
ers, bringing their total for the three
days to 10000 The German war Of
fee says that the French attack broke
down.

George Anderson, agent of the Cen
tr&a of Georgia railroad here, an
nounced today that in future all cars
received here would be placed for the
convenience of consignees only when
orders for their placing are received
in advance of arrival, except when
penalties prescribed by the railroad
administration are assessed.
Under the new rules, any consignee
Of freight in car lots must direct the
disposition of such cars when it is
desired to have same placed upon
special sidings, in advance of the ar
rival of cars at destination. When
orders to place cars are received af-
Ter arrival, penalty of $500 for each
car is assessed against the consignee,
provided the order Is received later
than twenty-four hours after its ar
rival, the penalty assessed is increas,
ed automatically to $500.
The new rules have been promul-
gated by the railroad administration
and must be enforced by all railroads
everywhere, and local agents are
powerless to remit the penalties pro-
vided or to place cars except under
the rules. Firms and individuals re-
ceiving freight in car lots habitually
may place blanket order with the
,aiIroad. and thus obviate the neces-
sity for advising the disposition of
each car in advance of its arrival at
destination

BASEBALL GAMES

GREATLY ENJOYED
FIVE HUNDRED AND FIRST SQUAD.
Ron WINS GUT IN FAST GAME
AGAINST 116th In WHICH FEA.
TURE PLAYS WERE EXECUTED.

Baseball is still the premier sport
at Souther Field, and great crowds
witness the games played there dur
ing each week, with corresponding
interest in the standing of the various
teams in the "Y" league.
The last game was that on the mid
die diamond when the outfit from the
5O1st defeated the team from the
116th after some fast and furious
playing
Douglas, of the 116th, pitched in
fine form and had most of the batters
from 501st at his mercy. His fast
out shoots had hook on the end that
eluded their bats in many instances
by a big margin. Had he been ac-
corded the same gilt-edge support
that his opponent, Allender, had,
there might have been a different
tale to relate about the score.
Gaughn caught steady game and
kept the runners afraid of stealing
second. Schnebeti played fast game
at short, figuring in a few doubles,
that saved the days for his pitcher.
He also served to bring in several of
the runs by his excellent stick work.
Puckert, at first, and Paternoster,
the movie picture artist, while new
at the baseball game, showed con-
siderable class. Preston, Michael and
Tray1or gave a good account of them
selves for the 1l6th.
