Belgians Deal Death.
Similarly, the allied troops have
stopped the drive towards Scherpen-
berg by holding at La Clytte, while
the Belgians, who had two addition
al German divisions to face north
Of Ypres, dealt with them success
fully and prevented any breach in
the line toward the sea.
All the evidence points to the
probability that the Germans suf-
fered well night the heaviest casual
ties of any day of the fighting on the
northern front, as wave after wave
of the attacking forces was moved
down by artillery and infantry fire.
They were so exhausted by their
fruitless efforts that they remained
virtually inactive all night, while no
reports have come through today in
dicating any resumption of major
activities on their part.
South, on the Somme front, the
British carried out local operation

positions before Amiens by advanc-
ing their line somewhat east of

ATTEMPT TO TAKE HILLS
URGES NEW DRAFT
BILL Be AMENDED
AFFECTS YOUTHS JUST COM
ING TO AGE OF 21
YEARS.

Washington, April 30.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder today re-
queSted congress to eliminate from
the bill extending the draft to
youths now q years of age, the
amendment putting at the bottom
OF the eligible list those who would
register under the measure, and ask
ed that the bill basing draft quotas
on the number of men in class one
be amended to make its operation
retroactive.
General Crowder made a request
in letters to the chairmen of the
senate house military committees.
OF the proposal to put the new
reglstrants at the bottom of the list
of eligibles, General Crowdcr said:
THE plan proposed by this office
would result in the rigistrants being
given order numbers scattered
throughout the entire list of order
numbers. This seems to be fairer
than the plan proposed by the
amendment. The result of the
house amendment in many jurisdic-
dictionS will be to delay the calling
of these young men for a consid-
cradle time. In the meantime their
status will have changed, they will
have married or become integrated
with the industries of the country.
Moreover, it establishes a prec-
edent which may be appealed to,
provided aliens are registered un-
der the provisions of the new leg
islation based upon treaties to be
negotiated"
THE plan to make the quota I-v
retroactive would apply it to men
OF the new draft call, while the leg
islation is pending.
During the past few weeks, "
General Crowded stated, the camps
have become filled to capacity and
the imperative needs of General
Pershing's forces have led to the
rapid dispatch of more troops over
seas and to the issuance of rela-
lively small calls, by authority Of
the president, to fill the organiza-
tions in training at cantonments.
THE result of the calls spread
over the past few weeks has been
not only to exhaust practically all
the deferred percentages of the
quotas on the first general call
Gully II, 1919 but to add still fur
ther quantities of men in the ex-
cess of the first quotas"
Obviously, General Crowder add
ed, to insure fair treatment for all!
the states, the new quota plan
should be applied to men called on
the second draft,

/ British Headquarters in France,
April 30.-(Via tawa).-The en-

made progress south OF that region.
The artillery was increasingly
busy this morning from Vimy north

: Thus far the German capture Of
KENNEL Hill has done them little
good, for the entente allied artillery
has kept the crest so smothered in

for the enemy to occupy 1t in force.
, Fierce fighting continued about
Locre all of yesterday. The enemy
sacrificed a great number of men.
West of Voormezeele heavy fight
ing continued throughout the day,
and the number of German casual

impossible to say how many attacks
the enemy made in the course of the

With the British Army in France,
April 30.-In front of the defending
positions gray uniformed men lay
dead in great numbers today, repre-
senting the awful price paid by the
Germans in their attack.
This morning the allied lines in
Flanders were, to all intents, the
same as when the Germans surged
forward yesterday.
At one time yesterday the Ger
mans appeared actually to have had
some men on the lower slopes ct
both Mont Rouge and the Scherpen-
berg after they had succeeded in
driving a small wedge into the
French lines between these two ele-
vations.
Things looked critical, bat the
French counter-attacked determin-
edly and re-established virtually all
the old positions.

(Review by The Associated Press
Today's reports from the Flanders
battle front emphasize the complete
ness of the victory won by the
Anglo-French forces yesterday in
withstanding the tremendous as
saults by which the Germans hoped
to break into the allied hill posi-
tions southwest of Ypres and begin
cutting their way on toward the
channel ports.
The situation seems to have been
one of the entente high command
deciding once more to make a stand
after having forced the Germans to
use up tens of thousands of men in
fighting their way desperately for
ward as far as they have. The de-
cision made, the stand was taken,
and the Germans were stopped, as
they have been previously on other
fields since the great offensive open
ed March 2l.
The enemy, it is estimated, threw
dS Hldlly dS lllll lCGll ulNlSlOllS, VI
about 175,000 men, into the attack
on this 12-mile front, but despite
continued furious assaults, was held
almost in his tracks everywhere, At
few points there was a slight en-
emy penetration, but the line was
largely rectihed late yesterday.
French Make Drive.
During last night the French in
dashing counter-blows drove the
Germans from the remainder of the
small stretches of ground they had
gained in their initial drives of the
day.
A most welcome feature of the
current news from the front is the
announcement that the French, in a
crucial part of the line at Locre,
have not lost any part of their hold
on this dominating ground. They
how have undisputed possession of
I.ocre itself, for the first time in
several days, and apparently have
killed off the enemy efforts to edge
in around that place and force its
abandonment.
The Importance of Locre lies in
