ANSWERS
QUESTION
Especial to The Times. \

LONDON, June 1.-THE pres
ent state of uncertainty that pre-
walls in many American indus
tries owing to the new work or
fight" regulations had its count
erpart in England, and is being
repeated now under the new law
making men between AZ and So
liable to military service.
The American PRONUNCIATION or
dering men Of draft age who are
engaged In non-essential occupa-
tions to transfer their connections
to war industries naturally raises
the question;
What are the non-essneital &C.
cupations?"
England has practically an
swered this question for itself in
four years of war, but has found
that il has no permanent fixed
answer. The system of draft ex-
emptions here is continuously I'M
der review, and reyisions OF the
list of non-essentials are frequent.
There is no guarantee that the
last has been heard OF proclama-
tions canceling by the wholesale
the oceupational exemptions.
The following list, however,
may be interesting to Americans
OF draft age who are wondering
whether they will have to give up
their lucrative positions to work
in munitions factories.
II comprises those Industries or
trades employment in which up
to May /. 1918, gives English
men exemption from the draft:
Agriculture.
Banks.
Black smiths.
Brick workers.
Cable companies employees.
Coal miners.
Coal delivery employees.
COlliery clerks.
Education Officers and teachers.
Electrical plants.
Farriers.
Fire brigadss.
Flour mills.

Of.
This list, OF course. also In
cludes members OF parliament,
workers in the Red Cross, ship
builders. etc.
While there is no indication
that the United States will follow
England's example in regulating
its draft. still this list may be
taken as typical OF the trades
which are likely to be considered
as essential occupations" here az

GERMANS MAKE APPALLING
SACRIFICES IN EFFORT
TO STOP THE LATINS.

The French Army in France
Sunday, Sept. l5.-(By The Asso
ciated Press.)-The sacrifices the
Germans are making to stop the
slow but steady advance OF Genera
Mangin's forces toward the Chemin-
des- Danes are evidenced by the
large number OF the enemy dead
found on the field OF Saturday
and Sundays operations. The mum.
Der of prisoners which increased
during the day to more than $500
also is very large for the length OF
front attacked.
The dead are thickest around
Laffaux mill and east OF Vauxaillon
where the enemy counter attacked
violently today in vain effort to
regain the positions he lost Satur-
day.
General Margin's troops not only
maintained all their gains, but push
ing on from Nauxaillon, captured
the plateau to the southeast, which
gives them vantage ground OF
great Importance. Extending the
field OF battle to the south the
French also made appreciable gains
by occupying Mennejean farm, and
ground considerably to the east OF
that position. Further south they
took by storm hmm No. 100 north
Of Celles-sur-Aisne.
The Germans came back repeated
ly in strong force all along this front
and fought stl.bbornly, but with no
other result than to increase their
extremely heavy losses.
While these actions seem only to
be details when compared with the
recent larger operations, their sig
nificance appears clearly from the
determined offcrts made by the
Germans to stop them.
Further advances by the French
on the high ground west and south
OF the Chemin -des-Dames will make
the German positions there most
precarious.

London, Sept. l6.--American res
idents of London celebrated the
American victory in hotels and pub
lie places last night, singing "The
Star Spangled Banner" and other
airs. Londoners, generally informed
by special editions of the continued
satisfactory progress of the Amer
ican attack and the Austrian peace
otter, experienced an unusually SEN
sational Sunday and displayed exub-
erance and hopefulness that was in
marked contrast with the gloom of
the summer months.
1t was felt that with the American
army fighting under the guns of the
fortress Of Metz, and with Austria
making what appears to be an Of
flcial bid for peace, things at last
were moving in the desired direction
AuStria'S note is in the hands OF
the government, together with in
formation that Germany has made a
direct offer of peace to Belgium on
the basis of restored political and
economic independence. and on con
ditiou Of Belgian neutrality until
the end OF the war. No allusion to
reparation or indemnity for the
wrongs inflicted upon Belgium is
said to have been made by Germany.
1t is needless to say that these
peace feelerS make little impression
on either the government or the peo-
pie here. They are pointed out, how
ever, as revelation OF speedy en-
emy appreciation OF the meaning of
American military participation in
the war, The view is held in polt-
ical circles that German realizes she
viii soon be compelled to withdraw
from Belgium and if She could Sc.
cure treaty barring Belgian terri
tory to allied troops and aircraft, she
would be thereby protecting Ger
many against hostile attacks.
In the speech made at Manchester
by Premier Lloyd George, it is be-
lieved he replied in advance to any
peace tcntativeS. In fact, it is be-
lieved the premier knew Austria had
this move in mind when he delivered
the speech.
