Has Name of German
City, Asks for Change

Martin Lowenberg bases his peti-
tion for a change of name. filed yes
tsrday in the equity courts. on the
fact that a town or city in Germa ny

IL will become inimical to his busi-
ness and social affairs; hence he has
asked the local courts to have 1t
changed to Martin Low.
The petition recites that his wife,
Margaret Friend Lowenberg; his
daughter, Alice Friend Lowenberg,
and himself, besides his parents, were
born in the United States and have
always been loyal to this country.
Mr.. Lowenberg now Is a government

DRAFT OF IRISH
IS ABANDONED
Consumption Plan Given Up
While England Pushes
Recruiting.

london, Sept. i0-Conscriptlon will
not b enforced in ireland in October.
unless the best Informed British poiit-
ical writers and observers are "ail
wrong"
In the nrst place. conscription can.
not DO enforced without leave by Par.
lament, and under existing circum-
stances Parliament might be unwill'
Ing, according to the general belief
even If the government desired to en-
force it.
When the government raised ths
conscription age for England. Walei
and Scotland to 81 II announced that
1t intended to adopt conscription ir
ireland. Then II asked 5000 recruits
from Ireland by October az the con.
dition under which CONSUMPTION would
not be applied.
And there It stands. except for Irish
Secretary shortt's statement that the
government ia now working on q nsw
home rule bill and his request OF
John Dillon for Nationalist aid on
this bill. Dillon refused to give q
pledge OF assistance while conscrip-
uon In still held as a threat over Ire
land.
The Nationalist party makes nc
secret Of its anxiety over the next
election In Ireland. 1t claims that
the Sim Fein has been gaining
strength and blames government
persecution" and "repressive meas
ures," which the government calls
steps to stamp out sedition." What
ever II Is called, what is meant IL the
presence of troops In Ireland and reg

ings, etc.
heard one Irish Nationalist men,
Der warn government oficials that
unless there is a change, many of the
Nationalist members would not re-
turn to Parliament When Sim Fem
ers are elected they leave the seats
vacant.
The government has been conduct
ing a vigorous recruiting campaign In
ireland, but 1t has not given out the
figures, and how successful the efforts
to raise 5000 volunteers have been is
. matter of much speculation.
However. the recently announced
government scheme for checking u
the recruits may dispose of the mat
ter for part of Ireland.
Divided Into Areas.
This plan divides ireland into areas
and allots a quota for each area
taking into consideration, in fixing the
quotas, the past record of recruiting
for the army. navy and air service
In each area.
II is then announced that each
area filling its quota will be exemp,
from consription. Great inducements
are also being offered to get recruits:
such as giving candidates every ia
cllity for selecting the regiment OF
their choice and promising to train
them at a regimental depot In Ire
land or with an Irish regiment else
where.

The Germans, according to the otficia
statement issued by the French war of
fee, reached the vicinity" of this stream
This marked the limit of their advance
however. The French Immediately at
tackled and drove the enemy back to the
line passing through Belloy, south of St,
Maur, south of Marqueglise and Vandeli-
court The village Of Merry, west of Bel
10y, was retaken by the French on Mon
day night.
This part of the battlefront, however,
is apparently not the most menacing to
the French 1t is further east that the
Germans seem to be making their most
telling gains. Here, along the right bank
of the Disc, they have reached Antoval,
a village which lies on the crest of the
hills above the important town of Ribe-
court, which lies on low fiat lands to the
west of the Disc. The French admit that
their "line of resistance to the west and
south of Ribecourt" has been withdrawn
in consequence.
This movement has not resulted as yet
according to reports, in the withdrawal
of the French lines east of the Disc from
the Ourscamp and Carpolin forests, strong
positions from which the French defend
ed their positions in the earlier attempts
of the Germans TO cross the Disc south
of Sempigny.
The battle in the new area may now
be considered as having definitely entered
its critical stage. As in the Somme,
Flanders and Aisne combats, the third
and fourth days of offensive were most
menacing to the allies. 1t now seems to
be certain that the operation in which
the Germans are now engaged consti-
tutes very powerful blow, from the
Oise to the Marne, as well as threatening
the level country in the rear of the pres
ent battlelines. Before this can be
reached, however, the Germans may en-
counter the greatest resistance since the
offensive began on Sunday.
The other operation of significance was
carried out by Australians on the British
front at Morlancourt, east of Amiens. |
Here the British advanced to a depth of I
half mile over a front of mile and a |
half. More than 200 prisoners were cap |
tured by the British.

ENEMY DIVISIONS
BEING WITHDR 4UN
Being Badly Crippled by the Unexpected
French Resistance, They Are Being
Replaced by New Units.

With the French Army in France, June
III tby the Associated Press The diff
culties confronting the enemy are very
great in the nature of the country he
has now entered in his new drive The
terrain comprises sharp hills, deep val
leys and thick woods. Where his most
pronounced progress has been made in
the center of the battlefield, the ground
forms sort of hollow, through which
runs the main road from Senis to Roye
and the Compiegne Roye railroad.
The Germans are apparently trying to
advance by entirely ignoring the losses
they sustain, the object being to acquire
possession of as much territory as posi-
BILE before the allies are able to stabilize
the front. Each division seems to have
received orders to 60 ahead needless of
what the others are accomplishing.
While attempting to do this, the Ger
mans are coming under the fire of the al
lied batteries and groups of machine
guns, which possess the accurate ranges
of all points.
This fierce opposition by allied troops
appears to have disconnected the German
command which expected to be able to
reduce the allied salient around Noyon
much more easily. The guns were busy
throughout yesterday and last night and
were well countered by the artillery
Indications show that some of the en-
emy divisions which started the attack |
are already being withdrawn from the |
line, because of the severity of their cas-
and are being replaced by fresh
units.
The armies are fighting it out foot by
foot, and it cannot be claimed up to this
writing that the enemy has gained any
definite advantage, despite the fact of
the ndentation he has made in the allied
line. This was a very natural result un
der the tremendous smash.
