ORGANIZATIONS FORMED

In so far as possible these company organizations will be formed at mines and factories. the employees of each mine or factory having their separate organization. It will be up to these companies to see that every man in their respective plants performs his full six days work a week.
 In the reports submitted yesterday only two or three men were reported as having refused to join the league, a few others had hesitated, but when its purposes were fully explained to them they signed the pledge. The two or three who could not be persuaded to join will be given one more oppor- tunity and if they still refuse, their names will be turned into the execu- tive committee and forwarded to the labor department at Washington for such action as may be determined upon there.
 During the discussion following these reports it developed that a system not connected with the Loyalty league is in use in Bessemer, whereby each man are punched at intervals to show how many hours he works each day.
 BOYS TO BE REGISTERED
 As all men between the ages of IS and 60 are to be urged to join the league and thereby pledge themselves to work six full days a week, Chair man Moffett explained that boys 16, IT and IS years of age who are in school will be registered as school pu pills and that will be deemed to be their occupation.
 One precinct chairman reported that on his list were the names of two Con tederate veterans, one "A and the other SS years of age-that they had asked to be permitted to join the league. and he had acceded to their request, not withstanding they were far above the limit fixed for memb ership. This led Chairman Moffett and others to say that the fact that a man is over so is no reason why he should be ex cluded from membership where he wanted to join.
 When all the men in Jefferson coun- ty are enlisted in the league it will be one of the strongest organizations of the kind in the country, with mem bership of between 75.000 and 100000.

FRENCH STATEMENT

Paris, August 11.-Notwithstanding the resistance of the Germans the French troops Sunday gained further ground between the Avre and the Disc rivers taking several villages from the west and south of Rove to the Disc, according to the official communication issued by the war office tonight,
 The text of the communication fol- lows:
 "Our troops have continued to gain ground between the Avre and the Ofsc, in spite of the resistance of the enemy. ITO the south of the Avre we occupied Marquivillers and Grivillers and have reached the line of Armancourt and Til- loloy and progressed north of Roye-Sur- Matz about two kilometres, as far as the outskirts of Canny-Sur-Matz. Fur ther to the south we captured and passed the village of La Berliere
 Between the Matz and the Disc our advance has assumed a more pronounced character north of Chevincourt. Mache- mont and Cambronne are ours.
 Army of the east:
 "The artillery and patrols have been active on the Struma and Vardar rivers and on the Serbian front. An English detachment has made successful raid on the Bulgarian lines west of Lake Doiran.

from which it joins the line on the Disc.
 In the area before vauvillers the en- emy has been supported by heavy ar tillery, but further southward the French First and Third armies have advanced slightly, and in this neighborhood the Germans do not appear to be too well supplied with artillery.
 Large fires and long transport col umns in the enemy's back areas tend to strengthen the belief that his heavy counter attacks against the British are intended to afford him time tos evacu- ate his stores.
 The allied casualties in the first two days of fighting were comparatively light, because the allies virtually ran through the German positions. But since Saturday the fighting has been of more severe character.
 Interest, centers around the strug- gle for the I,assigny massif, which IS high ground in difficult country and affords a considerable view of the sur rounding neighborhood. Its southern edge is in French hands, but con- siderable advance must be registered before the allies can cross the Cuy- Noyon road. All accounts agree that the attacks of the third French army on the massif are making satisfac- tory progress and that an, advance of from three to five miles has been made since Saturday morning.
 The roads for the enemy retirement are by no means good, and 1t Is be- lieved not improbable that sooner or later he will be compelled to retire to the line of Peronne, Vesles and Noyon.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-08-12
GOVERNMENT AGENCY

Answering questions asked by pre- cinct chairmen, MT. Moffett explained that the league was not formed in the interest of the employers, but was a government agency organized for the purpose of getting full time work out of every man in the country, that while the companies no doubt were in sym pathy with the movement, yet they had nothing to do with it; that the work of soliciting membership in the league was done by men not officially connected with the corporations, and except for the fact that full-time work would result in greater production the companies had no interest whatever in it.
 He explained that he believed that go per cent of the men were loyal and willing toN do whatever was required of them to win the war, and that it was the duty of the 90 per cent to see that the other 10 per cent did their duty.
 The Loyalty league organization when completed will consist of county ex- ecutive committee, composed of 16 members, one chairman and a commit tee of as many members as may be necessary in each voting precinct, and in addition, company organizations in the different precincts. These compa- nies will consist of 10 or more mem bers and will have captain. three lieutenants and sergeant, the lat inc oc CO., afa

A well known railroad man
has handed "The Oasis" the fol
lowing:
"I note that the children Use
the railroad tracks going to and
from school from the district
below Court Street. 1 saw one
little girl crawl under the cars
this morning. The point where
they cross is particularly dan
gerous for the, reason that there
are the tracks to the roundhouse
and there are engines passing i,
or out frequently. This practice
is sure to result I'M injury, OF
probably death, to some of these
tots sooner or later and parents
and teachers who have not done
their best to stop this dangerous
practice will have nothing but
regrets in which to drown their
sorrow. The parents who start
children to school so late that
they are compelled to take this
dangerous shortcut in order to
avoid being late, or who fail to
warn their children of the dan
ger and to take steps to see that
the warning is needed, will have
very little with which to COM
fort themselves in caSe the pre-
cious lives placed in their charge
by the Creator are sacrificed in
this useless manner.
A proper campaign by parents
and teachers will soon do away
with this dangerous practice.

May Take Civil Service Ex-
aminatiOns Wherever Given

WASHINGTON, April 12.-
The u. S. Civil Service Commits
sion announces that on March
27, 1918, the President approved
a joint resolution of Congress
suspeneding, during the period
of the present war, the opera
tion Of the provisions of law
which required applicants for
civil service examinations to be
examined in the state or terri
tory in which, they reside. Dur
ing the period of the war, there
fore, applicants for any eaxmi-
nation held by the commission
may be examined at any place
at which the examination is
held, regardless of their place
of residence.
An act of July 2, 1909, re-
quired examinations to be taken
in the state of residence. While
this provision is suspended fo1
the period Of the war, it is still
required that only those who
have been actually domiciled in
the state or territory I'M which
they reside for at least one year
previous to the examination may
become eligible for permanent
appointment. to the apportioned
departmental service in Wash
lngCOn, u. y.
The commission expects this
change to make it easier to OBJ
tain applicants for positions in
Washington. Competent sten.
ographers, typists and book
keepers are in great demand
Examinations for these posi-.
tions are held weekly through
out the country. Representa-
tives of the Civil Service Com
mission at the postoffices in all
cities are furnishing detailed in
formation and application
blanks.
