At Strongest Points Hinden- burg Line Between St.
 Quentin and Le Catelet
TEN HOURS OF A
 BIG COMMANDMENT
Hurled Against Enemy's Lines Causing a Deep Silence Over Their
 Front.

British Headquarters in France, Sept. Reuters s)-Striking at the strongest point of the Hindenburg line between St. Quentin and Le Cate- let, British and American troops launched a terrific attack at six o'clock this morning.
 F'orty-eight hours before the infan- try advanced against the German lines the British artillery had maintained a terrific fire against the enemy po- siticns.
 For the last ten hours of this bom- bardment gas shell by the thousands were hurled against the Germans, causing comparative silence to fall over the enemy lines.
 During the night a preliminary in- fantry attack developed between Mar coing and Masnieres against the main Hindenburg line and met with satis- factory progress.
 Under creeping courtain of flame the main assault was launched this morning.
 Tanks Battle Cry. A large force of American troops shouting "Luisitania-Lusitania" ad- vanced in the first waves with splen- did dash, their war cries being a ringing slogan.
 A large number of tanks went out with the first wave, being directed ! against a iron of 5000 yards south of Venduhile, where the St. Quen- tin canal passes through tunnel. l Using the Vendhuile gap as a bridge the Americans stormed onward, deploying fan-wise as they went.
 One British division swan across the canal, the men shaking them selves laughing as they reformed their lines on the eastern bank.
 Then under steady machine gun fire they pushed forward into village of Bellenglise.
 By this time the first, phase of the attack had ended and after. pause the advance was resumed. s .@S,S i Then one o fthe most drastic En- cdients of the battle occurred. :s,sThe Americans, tirel and .besplashed,s but in hearty spirits, opened their ranks and Australians units moved up in support. swept through them and be- anne the first wave of the renewed attack
 The storm of cheering that greeted this maneuver arose, high above the roar of conflict.

President Takes Out First Number; Vice President
 Draws the Second.
WILL TAKE 36 HOURS
 TO COMPLETE TASK
It Is Hoped to Finish the Work Early Tuesday Af-
 ternoon, Says Crowder
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Sept. 30-The draw ing of order numbers for the thir- teen million draft registrants enroll ed Sept. 12 was started today by President Wilson.
 Blindfolded, the president groped into the great glass lottery bowl and drew out one of 17,00O capsules.
 It contained a slip numbered 322. thsu giving to men holding that serial number first place in their respective classes after registrants already classified under previous registra- tion.
 The number was low enough to touch the list of nearly every draft board in the country.
 Vice President Marshall drew the second number, and was followed by sixteen other notables who had been invited to participate in the cere- mOny.
 Officers and men enlisted in the army, assisted by corps of tellers, settled down to the task of emptying the bowl
 Two thousand numbers had been drawn and recorded before o'clock in the afternoon, indicating that probably 36 hours would re required to complete the work
 The readers and tellers worked in relays so the drawing continued al- most without interruption through the night
 Provost Marshal General Crowder hoped to finish early tomorrow even- ing.
 Only the first one hundred num- bers were flashed to the country by telegraph.
 Because of the impracticability of telegraphing all of.the IT, ,00O the press had been asked to refrain from send- ing more than 100 numbers.
 The complete master lists will be mailed as soon as the drawing is over to district draft boards throughout the country, to be made public by them.
 The drawing is taking place in one of the large caucus rooms of the sen ate office building.
 The president. with Mrs. Wilson, reached the caucus room just before noon, and joined a group, including vice president, Speaker Clark. the chairman of the Senate and House SoAIIAitlCSS, CSC1SldIy Ddu- iels. Acting Secretary Crowell of the War Department, General March Chief of Staff of the Army, Admiral Benson, Chief of Naval Operations, and others who were to take part
 All was in readiness or the draw ing, including battery of cameras that reached across to the room dir ectlv before the bowl.
 The bowl the one used in the ori- ginal lottery, had been brought from it's place, at Independence Hall Phil adelpl1ia. for the occasion. Before making his explanatory statement, Provost Marshal General Crowder whispered to the president that in his case the blindfold. always worn by those drawing runners should be dis. pensed with.
 MT. Wilson said he thought it would be better to make no exception so ithe blindfold made fro ma slip of cloth that covered a chair used in the signing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence was adjusted as the presi- dent approaehed the bowl j.
 The crowd applauded as number 322 was announced and the nresi- dent returned to his seat to watch the remainder of the opening cere- mony.
