HAS 800 men FOR
JULY ORAFT QUOTA
LOCAL EXEMPTION BOARD HAS
ENOUGH CLASS MEN TO
FILL CALL.
INCLUDES ONLY MEN
OF FIRST REGISTRATION
Number Reported by Local Board as
Ready for July Call Does Not In
eIude Men Registered This Year or
Those Being Reelassified-6oard
Starts Mailing Questionnaires.

If the countys quota for the July
draft is the county's real proportion OF
the 1879 called for from Iowa the To-
cal exemption board will be able to
furnish it's quota from Glass l men OF
the first registration. A count OF the
men remaining in Glass / of that regis
tration made by the local exemption
board shows that there still remain IN
that class 312 men. The board, when
has been required to report the num-
Der to the adjutant general in prep
aration Tor the July draft, will report
that it has about 800. The exemption
board has no exact Information on
which to base the number of these men
who have been specially induced, and
because Of this it can not tell just how
many there are, but it is estimated
that there are at least 800.
This number does not include the
1S5 who registered June this year.
nor does it include a number who are
being reclassified from lover classes
into Class 1. The latter are those whh
registered June 5. 1917. and who were
married since May IS, 1917.
Mail Questionnaircs.
The work OF mailing questionnaires
to the men who registered June was
begun today. Questionnaires will be
mailed to 25 per cent OF the list each
day until the work is finished. The
registered men have seven days from
the date the questionn:,ires are mailed
in which to answer and return them.
The second edition of question
naires. which have just been received.
are very similar in all ways to those
which were answered by men Of the
first registration. The chief difference
is that Glass has been divided into
nine instead Of six divisions as We've
the first edition of questionnaires. This
is to allow local exemption boards
greater latitude in su1divitiing men
placed in Glass /. An additional sub
division has been added to Glass in
the new questionnaires, making ten d.
visions in this class instead of nine rs
in the first edition Of questionnaires.

ARGUE BYLAWS VALID
Exhaustive Arguments Made in Sup
port Of Motion to Dissolve Tempo
rary Injunction Aesinst Modern
Brotherhood Of America.

Whether or not the amended bylaws
Of the legislative body o. the Modern
Brotherhood If America are valid Is
the question involved in the hearing
on a motion to dissolve the temporary
Injunction granted by Judge Cum
mingS against the organization. 1t is
commended by the attorneys for the
company that tae national meetings of
the brotherhood held in Denver in 1911
and in st. Louis in 1915 had full au-
thority to amend its bylaws and that
such amendments We're binding on all
members of the organization. 1t was
at the ST. Louis convention that the
amendment was passed advancing the
insurance rate for certain classes Of
the policy holders.
1t is contended for the policy hold
ers, who are the plaintiffs. and who
seek to restrain the company from en-
forcing the amendment, that the
amendment: was PASSED. without legal
authority and that it constitutes a
breach of contract as between the in
sured and the company.
A great mass Of court decisions was
presented by both sides in support Of
the arguments for and against the mo-
ton to dissolve The arguments had
not been concluded when court was
adjourned for lunch. The case is
that brought by John Heisinger, G.
D. Sweeney. Charles Sandvig and
William E. D9:rick, policy holders OF
this city. Twenty-nino other policy
holders are named in the petition, but
the amendment put in effect by the
company Is said to affect 10000 policy
holders

ITALIANS FIGHT FOR RECOVERY OF SERBIA
Offensive in Albania to be
Extended TO the Aegean;
Teutons Must W eaken
Italian Front

BY Newspaper Enterprise Association,
LONDON, July i3.-The Frsnco-lial-
Ian drive In Albania and Macedonia Is
now occupying The attention OF mill
tary critics 20 the exclusion OF tho
awaited offensive on the western front
Il is The general belief that the offen-
siNo Is more than a series OF small at
tscks that Il IS, in tact, the beginning
OF an Allied campaign for the redemp-
tisu Of Serbia.
Tile lighting SINE the drive began on
Monday has been done mostly by the
Italians, on the western enU OF the bat
tie line stretching ION the Adrlatic
TO the Aegean seas. It is expected, how
ever. that within the next few days
the Allies Will extend the scope Of their
offensive 20 the east. and the Serbian,
French and British troops holding the
line between Monastir and Saloniki Will
attack the Bulgsrians In force.
Monastir has been held by the little
Serbian army since II was recaptured
IN 1915. The strongest positions held
by the Austrians are just north OF tho
city and about Lake Dolran.
The Allied campaign has been direct
ed first toward clearing Albania OF the
Austrlans, driving them back toward
the Serbian border. When this Is az
compllshed the Teatons VIII be subject
ed to increased pressure opposite Mon
astlr and on their right wing alors
the Serbian border,
This will force a retirement along a
line Of more than 200 miles, and II
pressed by the Allies. Will compel the
Austrlans and Bulgsrians to fall back
along the whole front.
