nous losses. The reports we received were contradictory. It was impossible to get a clear picture. In the mean time the artillery bombardment had become so intense that 1t mortified even the German soldiers. The heavi- est artillery was brought into action against the steel and concrete de- lenses.
 No soldier so far knew anything of the existence of the 42-centimeter nor tars. Long after Liege was in Ger man hands these soldiers could not understand how 1t was possible that the defenses, which consisted of dou- ble six-meter walls of steel and con crete. were reduced after only a few hours bombardment.
 myself could not take part In these operations, being wounded, but my comrades told me later how the cap ture of the several forts came about Artillery of all caliber was trained on the forts, but 1t was the 21-centimeter mortars and the 42s which performed the real work.
 From distance the 42-centimeter projectiles were heard to arrive. to the accompaniment of fearGll hisSing that sounded like long drawn-out screech which filled the whole at mosphere. Wherever it fell. every thing was destroyed within radius of several hundred meters. The air pressure which the bursting of the pro jectile produced was so terrible that 1t made breathing difficult for those of us who were holding the advanced po- sitions.
 To make this witches holiday com plete, the Zeppelins appeared during the night to participate in the work of destruction The soldiers suddenly heard sbove their heads the whirling of pIopelers and the noise of the mo- tors. The Zeppelins came nearer They were not discovered by the enc my until they were close to the forts, which immediately played all the

COMBINATIONS PUT UP TO PRESIDENT WILSON BY GEN.
 cRoWDER.
ONLY FEW LEFT IN CLASS 1
Likely to Act on Age Limits In order to Secure Larger Number-Wsed. Ing Out Process 10 Now In
 Progress.

Washington. - New emphasis was added to the pressure for the prompt enlargement of the draft age limits by the publication of the complete testimony of Maj. Gen. Enoch Crow. der. provost marshal, before the sen- ate committee on military affairs on June 15.
 The testimony reveals in detail the war departments program for the in- crease in the size of the army to almost 100000 men by January l. It entirely substatiates the assertions of senators during the recent debate on war measures in which 1t was de- clared that the lowest class of re. cruits would be perilously near ex. hausted by January 1 if congress did not make some change in the age limits.
 Gen. Crowder's testimony shows that there will be only 277,359 men left in Class l by August l. It Is ex. pected that this number will be in. creased by 100000 by the wedding out process now in progress.
 An additional 100000 men will be obtained by new arrivals at the age of 21, few now in deferred classi fications helping to swell the total
 This will bring the number of men available for service up to S77.359 The program of the war department contemplates the calling out of 875, ,00C men between August 1 and January This will bring the total strength oi the army up 3.S75,000.

RAISES PAY IF SHOPMEN
McADoo COMES TO RELIEF OF
 WORKERS.
6S Gents an Hour, Retroactive to Jan. l, and Eight-Hour Day Granted
 to 5oo,o0O Workers.

Washington.-Wag of railroad shopmen were increased to 6S cents an hour by Director-General McAdoo, with proportionate advances for as- sistants and miscellaneous classes in mechanical departments. The new rates. which are retroactive to last Jan. l, are from to 13 cents an hour higher than wages paid these men In most shops under the general wage advance allowed two months ago by the director-general, but are somewhat less than the labor organizations had sought
 Beginning Aug. 1, eight hours will be recognized as a standard working day, and overtime, Sunday and holi- day work will be paid for at the rate of one and onehalf times the usual rate. Back pay will be given the men as soon as 1t can be calculated.
 The advances apply to about 500,000 men and apply flatly to all sections of the country, despite local differences prevailing heretofore The addition to the aggregate annual payroll Is esti- mated as nearly s100,00O.0O0
 The advance Is the first extensive modification of the new wage scale and was made on recommendation of the commission on railroad wages and working conditions. following repre- sentations of shop crafts that high wages paid machinists and other me chanical workers in shipyards resulted in discrimination against railroad shop employees.

FORMERLY OPPOSED
THE BOND issue
}. |. Clement Now Favors The
Road Tax And Gives The Vo-
ters His Reasons Therefor.

suppose the voters of Crit
tenden county know there will
be an election held upon the
10Th of April. 1918, to get the
sense of the people as to wheth-
er, or not, there shall be a tax
OF Fifteen Cents (l5 cts) on each
One Hundred Dollars worth of
taxable property in the county
Tor assisting in working the
roads, As some seem not to
understand the object of this
tax, | thought it might be well
to make brief explanation of
the matter III the Crittenden
Record.Press.
Now, if this proposition car
rles, the money derived from
this tax in each msgislerial dis
net is to be expended on the
roads in that district to assist in
working the bad places, where
1t requires so much time and
Labor, and in putting in and re-
pairing culverts, etc., and, in
this way the people all over the
county will derive some benefit
from the money they pay out by
reason Of this tax.
There are to be no sub.super-
vlsors. Tne overseers will work the
roads under the same system as at
present-but this tax is to relieve the
road bonds as much Rs possible on the
parts OF the roads that are so difficult
to work. The most Of the road work
is done by farmers. Farm he p, is
scarce and hard to get; tne young men
who are strongest and best able tc do
this work, are subject to draft in the
army-a good many have already gone,
others will go-so that the road work.
ing will fall mostly on the older men,
who can not afford the loss of much
time from their farms at this season
of the year. and feel that it is our
duty to take as much as possible of
the heavy work Off of them.
This tax is to run for four yearS
only. AT the end of that time-if we
do not like the plan, we can quit it,
There will be no bonds or interest to
pay, and, in this wav, all the money
collected will be spent on the roads.
