WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-Provost
Marshall General Crowder to-day an
npunre6 orders to local draft boards
which Will permit the voluntary in
durtipm OF draft registrants into the
navy and Marine Corps and provide
for drafts OF men to be assigned to
those services if voluntary inductions
Go not suffice to fill the demands.
Calls for men for the nav-' Will go
ou1 before the end Of this month, and
Marine Corps contingents will be called
within a few weeks
After a call has been issued marine
and navy recruiting Offices may ask
for the voluntary induction Of men to
fill the call If the total is not OBJ
tained by that method the boards will
ORDER sufficient men forward to make
I'D the quota. The men will be mob
ilized and transported in the same
manner as are those of the National
Army

duction or call method will be counted

taken in the recent advance by the
Americans in this section displayed
great interest when news of the Aus
trian peace suggestion. reached the
camps whore they were taken. They
made no effort to conceal their dis
enlargement when assured by the
American soldiers that peace is a long
way off unless Germany is willing to
admit she is beaten.
Stories cold by the prisoners nearly
all indicate a lack of harmony between
the Austrians and Germans and reflect
the lowered morale of the Central
Powers. The prisoners conversation
shows that they realize the hopeless
ness Of success, and their belief that
they are fighting for some object which
to them is apparently not clear.
Individually, the captured men arc
in good condition. They are we'll

/ M AJOR G T. N + RAIL SIR
MI FREDERICK B. MAURICE.

"a AJOR GE N ERAL SIR
Nh FREDERICK B. MAURICE,
writing in The Times ycster-
day, said that permanent dcfences Of
the Metz type "are not likely to
prove d more difficult nut to crack
than elaborate field defcnces, such as
the Hindenburg line"
That is exactly the doctrine which
has been emphasized for the last two
months in this comment. A gigantic
Hlndenburg line or an isolated fort
ress can be no stronger, under mod
ern conditions of warfare, than the
infantry holding it, The defensive
is now handicapped as it has seldom
been before in the annals of war.
Any position is at present in itself
of little or no value unless the in
fantry defending it can meet attack
with counter attack. And to meet
one attack with another requires a
large measure of defensive mobility.
Huge fortress systems and elaborate
field works. strongly held impair
mobility. A stronghold like Metz
may easily prove to be an incubus
to an army compelled to hold on to it,
just as every other fortress has
proved in this war.
The superiority of the attack be-
ing to-day what it is, a successful
defence Of any long fortified line
such as the Germans arc now trying
to hold in France comes down event
ually to question Of quality and
quantity in infantry. If the German
infantry cannot stop the Allied in
fantry, no fortress or defence lines
can ever stop them.
The Hindenburg line has been i'm
pregnable only in the imaginations
OF those who have not realized the
very rapid change in conditions of
warfare since the Battle of Cambrai.
This over-valued line has been
pierced more than once by the Allied
armies. 1t was pierced again yes
terday by a British attack on Lu-
dendorff's supposedly "permanent'
front between Cambria and St.
Quentin. 1t will be pierced many
more times; for it is evidently
not Marshal Foch's intention to
allow the Germans to make use of it's
conveniences for winter quarters.
New-York tribune., 1918-09-19
Military Comment
By w. l.. Mcpherson
(CopWight, 1918, New Yorh Tribune Iuc)

The British Third and Fourth
armies showed again yesterday that
Ludendorff has not yet found a way
to stop Foch's method of attack. On
sixtecn-mile front they drove
II rec miles into the German defence
or the outer rim of the Hindenburg
zone. At two points they broke into
and partly through that zone. The
sector on which they made their
drive lies between two important
anchor points of the German front.
If the defence breaks here the whole
sector will go.
The line of the attack ran from
liolnon Wood, northwest of St.
Quentin, up to Gouzeaucourt. On
the southern end Rawlinson's troops
reached Fresnoy-le-Petit, about two
miles southeast of Maissemy, which
they took few days ago. Fresnoy-
1e-Petit is only two miles north
northwest Of St. Quentin. AS far
rCrth as lie Catelet the British
crossed their lines Of last spring and
penetrated the outer fringe Of the
Illndenburg positions. They are now
less than three miles west of the st.
Quentin-Le Catelet highroad and of
the ST. Quentin Canal, which paral-
lels the road for some distance
south of lie Catelet.
Above lie Catclct the Hindenburg
zone makes turn to the northwest, I
covering Cambria to a depth Of five
or six miles. At the northern end of !
yesterdays front, east of Gouzeau-
court, the Hindenburg zone was
again penetrated by Byng's men at
Villers-
The British took 5000 prisoners.
They are now practically elbow to
elbow with the Germans on the ter
rain on which Ludendorff must
stand if the whole Hindenburg sys-
tenn north Of Laon is not to be aban-
dcned. The German High Command
must counter attack successfully or
make preparations to retire. And
since July Is last no German coun-
ter attacks have yet developed
enough power to check Foch's con-
tinuing, puzzling and demoralizing
offensive.

Pershing Promises
Lloyd George IT onic

LONDON, Sept. 18.-In reply to the
message sent by Premier Lloyd George
to General Pershing, congratulating
him on the American victory in Lor-
raine, in which the Premier, who re-
celved the news on his sick bed, de-
clared it was "better and infinitely
more palatable than any physic," the
American commander has sent the
following telegram:
your congratulations are deeply
appreciated. 1t shall be the en-
deavor of the American army to sup
ply you with occasional doses of the
same sort of medicine as needed
from now until the final victory has
been attained. | trust this will find
you fully recovered from your i'll

The war will be won by men and ships, by guns
and airplanes. To raise armies and supply them,
to build the navy and support it, and to furnish
ships and transport, we must have money in
large amounts. The expenditures of the Gov
eminent for the ensuing year are estimated
at $24,000,000,000, sum which battles the
imagination to conceive. That vast amount
Cheyenne record., 1918-10-03

must come one-third from taxes and two-thirds
from loans. The success of the Fourth Loan,
like those that preceded it is, therefore, abso-
lutely necessary. We must work with the
highest speed, as if the war was to end in six
months. We must prepare in every direction,
as if it was to last for years. Speed and prep
aration are both expensive
