and were characterized as amounting
to seditious treason against the .Un-
tied States Government and it's al

HOUSE DECIDES
TO CALL YOUTHS

Washington, April 26.-The
house late yesterday adopted the
senate resolution for the registra-
ton for military service of young
men who have reached the age of
Fl years since June 5, last. The
measure now goes to conference.
An amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Hull of Iowa, and adopted
119 to 81, provides that men regis
tered under the bill shall be placed
at the bottom Of the classes to which
they may be assigned. The house
sustained the military committee in
striking out a provision of the bill
as it passed the senate which would
exempt from registration those eli
gibles who have entered medical or
divinity schools since June 5, last.
Representatives Kahn of Califor-
MIA, told the house the proposed
new registration would place from
100000 to 100000 registrants avail
able for military service. In that
connection he recalled that Germany
recalled into service it's class of
1919.
Chairman Dent of the military
committee opposed the amendment
of Mr.. Hull. He said he understood
it is the plan of the war depart
ment to place newly registered men
at the bottom of the respective
classes unless something unforeseen
occurs to prevent, but did not be-
lieve it proper to tie the hands of
the department by an amendment
which would require that action.

Overrnan Bill
Assured of Passage
SENATE REJECT HOKE SMITH
AMENDMENT BY A VOTE OF
Al TO 81.

Washington, April 27.-Ehe ad,
ministration scored a decisive vic
tory this afternoon when the Senate
by a vote of Al to 81 rejected the
Hoke Smith amendment to exempt
the Federal Reserve Board. from the
operation of the Overman bill.
Before the vote could be announ-
ced Senator Reed, of Missouri, caus-
ed an involved parliamentary tangle
by making a point of order on the
ground that Vice President Marshall
had ignored Senator Overman's call
for a quorum. - .., ...
After much complicated debate
the Vice President overruled Sena-
tor Reeds point of order and an
nounced the defeat of the amend
ment.
The rejection of the amendments
assures passage of the bill, practi-
cally without modification.
. Several Republicans voted with
the administration forces, while ten
Democrats bolted and voted with
the opposition.
On second test of strength the
opposition showed slight loss. The
second Hoke Smith amendment to
exempt the Interstate Commerce
Commission from the application of
the Overman bill was rejected, AZ
to 35, Senator Borah, of Idaho,
swung over t. the administration
side, while Senator King, of Utah,
who supported the previous amend
ment, failed to vote. ,
Because of several amendments
still pending, all action on the bill
was postponed until Monday.

Teutonic Forces Make
No Headway in France
. and Flanders.
SOLDIERS OF BRITAIN ..
TAKE VOORMEZEELE
Village Captured by Germans Sat
urday Again in Hands of Hais's
Men.

The entire allied line in France
and Flanders still stand firmly. No
where have the Germans been able
to make a further dent in it.. Hard
fighting has been in progress on the
Ypres sector around Voormezeele
and to the south at Locre. Both
places have several times changed
hands, but at last reports Voorme'
zeele had been recaptured by the
British but the Germans had obtain.
ed another foothold in Locre.
Voormezeele was taken by the
Germans Saturday but the British
in a night attack won it back and
since have held it, inflicting heavy
casualties on the Germans.
The Germans have tried at sever.
al points along the front held by
the French to pierce the line, but
everywhere have been repulsed, not,
ably in the st. Mihiel and Luneville
sectors.
Aside from the attacks and few
unimportant operations between the
British and the Germans, artillery
duels have predominated.
As whole there is no material
change in the situation along the
entire front over that of Saturday
and it is not evident that the Ger.
mans are prepared for the present
to resume the offensive, which has
cost them so dearly in men killed
wounded or made prisoners. Re.
ports coming by way of London are
to the effect that in Germany there
is much perturbation over inability
of the Teutons to pierce the allied
line. ...'
The operations in the Italian thea.
ter continue of minor character
consisting of small patrol encoun.
ters and artillery duels of more o,
less intensity in various sectors.
Likewise in Macedonia Compare.
tive quiet prevails, although there
has been considerable shelling OF
opposing positions by the artillery
and aerial bombing craft.
Nothing new has come through eli.
ther in the way of confirmation o,
denial of reports in circulation Sat,
urday that a counter revolution haG
broken out in Petrograd and that
Grand Duke Alexis Nikolaievitch had
been proclaimed emperor of Russia

With the American Army in
France, April 27.-The enemy laid
down a heavy barrage in front Of

sector at 8 o'clock this morning, the
;bombardment lasting an hour.
After an interval of silence ne
repeated the performance at 5
o'clock and half an hour later the
German, infantry started for the
American line. So intense was the
American counterattack that the
enemy was repulsed without getting
close enough to be engaged by the
American infantry. .
The Germans have been stripping
the bodies of dead French soldiers
in other sectors, and, wearing these
clothes, have come over at The point
where the French and American
lines join. This method of attack
was used during the attack on the
Americans at Apremont Forest two
weeks ago. On that occasion they
spoke French and said they had
come to assist the Americans, but
the ruse was discovered and they
were driven off.

FIGHTING THE GERMANS.

Abbeville and Abbeville County
have done we'll in the matter of
subscriptions to the Third Liberty
Loan. The individual subscriptions
have been turned into the three
banks in this city, and the bonds
come through the banks. The
amounts subscribed by the banks
show the amounts taken by the Gus
toners of the respective banks, in
Guiding what each bank itself buys.
We have not the figures as to indi-
vidual subscriptions, nor do we
know the number turned into the
banks. However, the figures as re-
ported by the banks are as follows
National Bank ----------$ 10000
Farmers Bank ---------$ 100000
Peoples Bank ----------$ $4,000
Abbeville Cotton Mils-----$ 10000
Total subscribed in city y---$115,000
Allotment for City ----$ 89,400
Over-subscription --------$25, 900
AT Due West.
The subscriptions at Due
West amounted to------S30,900
Allotment for that place. 23,100
Oversubscription for Due
West st-----------------$ $500
Calhoun Mills.
The Calhoun Mills, at Calhoun
Falls, has subscribed for $4,000
worth of bonds. This makes a to-
tai subscription in Abbeville, Due
West and at Calhoun Falls not in
cluding the town proper of over
$4,000, as against an allotment
for the county of $150,O0O, and the
towns of Calhoun Falls proper,
Lowndesville and Doanlds, have not
been heard from. When these towns
report the amount of the over-sub-
scription in the county will be con-
siderably increased.
The city of Abbeville, the town
of Due West and the county at
large are all entitled to flags on ac-
count of going over the amount al
lotted and Chairman Barnwell has
written for these, and in few days
he expects to have them for deliv-
