BRITISH STORM WAY
 INTO HAVR|NCOURT

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Sept. 12, ? P. M.-(By the Associated Press) British troops stormed their way today into the she'll shattered town of Havrincourt, which lies on a dominating ridge within the forward defenses of the Hindenburg line, and at latest reports were main- taining their hold.
 A little to the south they also car ried Trescault, another town on the high ground. Fighting was still pro- ceeding this afternoon and about 300 German prisoners have been sent back to the cages.
 The attack was begun this morning in the midst of rain, which had been falling intermittently for several days. Because of the elevation of this ridge, however, the ground was not in a par ticularly bad condition. The operation was local one, restricted to the cap- ture of positions of the Havrincourt- Trescault sector This was the only important action reported on the British front today.
 The main interest here centered in the American drive, news of which spread quickly this morning. Officers throughout the British army are watching the battle eagerly. A meager report received this afternoon that things were going well for the Ameri- cans was received with the greatest enthusiasm and expressions of heart felt good wishes.

NAVAL FIGHT WOULD
 BE HUN SLAUGHTER
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

NEW YORK, Sept 12.-Confident prediction that a naval battle between the German sea forces and the allied fleets would result in "a marine slaughter" for the Teutons, was made by Representative Daniel Riordan upon his return to New York today after an inspection of American naval activities abroad
 "The protection that is being af- forded merchant vessels and transports is improving by the hour," he asserted. The U-boat was a peril. Now it is simuly an annoyance. Very soon it will be obliterated.
 We are particularly anxious to get some idea of the reception that has been prepared for the German navy, if it happened to come out We saw the armor plated reception committee from the deck of a destroyer, and it was sight that will live in my memory forever.
 stretched about the point whence the German fleet must emerge was a iS-mle cordon of allied warship- French, British, Italian and American their men on their toes, steam up and guns ready. It took us seven hours to pass this huge flotilla. For us it was the most magnificent spectacle in the world"

 That the registration was accom- plished without single flaw and in such a splendid manner, Secretary Weyant gives credit to the 102 loyal assistants who voluntarily aided the local board in accomplishing the big task. These 102 registerers were as sisted by a detail from the Phoenix police reserves, who kept the long line of waiting registrants moving in per feet order, directed registrants to the proper tables, kept the workers from annoyance and in many other ways helped in making the day success.
 Rush Came Early.
 It was evident that those whose duty it was to register yesterday for military service determined to do that duty quickly. Therefore the heaviest rush came in the first hour. Entrance to the office of the local board was on First avenue. From there a line quick ly formed to Washington street and west as far as the Ford hotel.
 At the biggest rush the force of as- sistants took care of the registrants at the rate of 500 an hour. In the case of the aliens who were unable to speak English the longest time re- ouired to complete registration was 70

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Figures rom yesterdays state wide primary election received tonight showed that Medill Mccormick defeated William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago. for the republican nomination for United States senator by a plurality of 45,9Jo with 600 precincts of the 5,454 in tine state missing.
 Final figures from Chicago however, gave Thompson a plurality Of l5,15o, while McCormick's plurality outside Of Cook county and not including the 500 scattered precincts missing was 61,465.

Reuister to Win War

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Thirteen million men, probably more, the force from which will come the reserves to win the war. were registered today in the second great mobilization of the nations man power.
 As these men were moving in every city, town and hamlet over the country to add their names to the roll of the Ill., 000,000 who had registered before, the nations fighting army overseas was hurling itself against the enemy in the first distinctly American offensive op- eration on the western front.
 Demonstrations of patriotism every where marked the registration. Long before the appointed time for the reg istrars to begin their work, lines of citizens were waiting to enroll. There were no reports of disorders.
 Drawing is Next
 With registration day TOW history, the next move of the draft machinery will be in the numbering serially of the registration cards. Until that work is completed by the local boards the drawing of the order numbers, which will determine in measure the rela- tive standing of the registrants, cannot be held.
 In the meantime, however, question naires will go forward to men between | 19 and 21 and 32 and 36 so that they may be classified and some of them thus made ready for call in october after the national drawing is held.
 Complete returns from the registra- tion today are not expected by Pro- vost Marshal General Crowder before | Saturday. These will show the tota number. of men registered, as well as the proportion of this number to the es innate in each district, and may form the basis for activity by the departmen of justice in rounding up those wht have evaded the law.

 AMERICAN ATTACK
Republican A. P. Leased WIrel

lRepuoiIcan A. F. Leased Wire1
 LONDON, Sept. 12.-The Daily Mail correspondent at the American front sends the following description of the battle along the St. Mihiel sector
 The first American army under per sOnal command of General Pershing for the first time went into action to- day in the St. Mihiel salient. Never before has there been such large con- centration of American troops for one operation and never before have the Americans been in such complete con- trol of their own operations.
 Event Long Anticipated
 "The event had long been anticipat- ed. Some people assigned to it grand jose objectives but in reality the attack is for limited objectives only.
 At 1 o'clock Thursday morning the artillery preparation began with a roar that could be heard many miles away and all night it rose and fell with pecu- liar fluctuations. From all the roads that ran parallel the flashes of innu- merable guns told of he impending as sault. Towards o'clock the hour of the attack-the firing became even more rapid and it's sullen tone mingled strangely with the sound of the rain.
 Tanks Led the Attack
 At dawn whole fleets of tanks manned by strong young Americans and French were to be seen moving out of their shelters to lead the at tack. They numbered on but the Ger mans offered little opposition. The American infantry followed in open order, blowing through the mud, but they were little troubled by the feeble artillery resistance.
 At one point, near Seicheprey, where the Americans had previously fought desperately with the Germans, machine guns and automatic fire swept down upon the Tanks right flank but the tanks and artillery quickly moved in that direction and the Americans went steadily forward.
 Met Only Slight Resistance At ' o'clock the tanks had disap- peared amid a smoke cloud over the | ridge in front of Seicheprey.
 The Germans have offered very lit- 1 tie resistance to the advancing Amer l jeans. Occasionally a stray machine | gun or automatic rifle has been dis covered but it is apparent that the en- emy has withdrawn his main forces tC a second line which possibly he will | defend with a certain degree of te- | nacity.
 His artillery has been firing from behind a ridge which runs in front oi the American line but he is being pur- sued by tanks, which at one point lost only one out of forty-five and thai stuck in the mud"
