SOLDIERS SENT
. To FRONT AS
CRIMINALS
tBy Associated Press)

FRENCH FRONT, Jan. 10.-German
soldiers from some of the towns of
Prussia are sent to the front under
armed guards "as criminals are led
to the executioner,' says a letter
found on a dead German soldier who
was killed in a recent battle on the
French front. The writer had given
"A vivid description of the scene at
the departure of a detachment of re-
Inducements from Saarlouise, a town
in Rhenish Prussia. The recruits
we're intended to fill the gaps In a
battalion which had suffered heavy
losses. The writer says:
The first battalion is ordered to
furnish reinforcing detachment of
80 men. To escort them to the Saar-
louis station 800 men have been or
tdered out, some of them with arms
% march alongside the men going off
and others to act as pickets on the
way to the station. The men were
all ready in the afternoon and had to
wait some time for another squad of
convalescents, who eventually arrived.
What a scene! Ahead marched
squad of guards and to right and left
of each file two armed guards, while
another squad of guards brought up
the rear to guard these German SOL
diers-our brave soldiers in field
gray who, according to the magnifi-
Gently phrased stories of the news
papers, dash forward full of joy and
sustained by love of Fatherland to
destroy our enemies.
1.-The detachment moved off, with
a band playing a march. The guards
were so numerous that there was one
for every two men OF the departing
detachment. Is it not scandal that
our children in ,field-gray should be
led to war to fight and shed their
blood IN the same was as criminals
are led to the executioner or, still
worse, like cattle to the slaughter
house? 1t was not sufficient that for
hours beforehand-in fact from the
moment of the announcement of the
departure of the detachment-even
soldiers who did not belong to 1t were
prevented from going into the town
by sentinels posted every five yards
No, It was considered necessary to
submit the men to the shame OF
marching to the depot under guard.
do not the magnificent mendacious
articles in our papers represent in a
false light our brave boys in field
gray going to fight and destroy the
enemy for the love OF the fatherland.
while such things as these are hap

fice!"

May 27.-An American accommodating
party commanded by Lieutenant A. p.

thrilling hand to hand encounter with
Germans in No Mans Land in Picardy.
In the face of a continuous fire from
two machine guns they charged the
enemy. Although Lieutenant Grad
dock and several of his men were SER
iously wounded, they continued fight
ing and drove off the Germans.
One of the Americans was shot in
the head and body, and lay on the
ground stunned. When he came to he
found a German holding him by the
shoulder. He whipped out his pistol
and killed the German.
Reuters correspondent at front tele-
graphs London that the American air.
men during the past five weeks have
caused three times as many casualties
as they themselves have suffered.
The American patrols continue their
work nightly. Last night one entered
the German positions and proceeded as
far back as the second line southwest
of Sonnard wood without encounter
ing single German, although several
work parties were heard.
One Of the American patrols in the
Luneville sector found the body of q
German in No Mans Land. Appar-
emily he had been killed by shell fire,
and the patrol brought in much valu-
able information obtained from pa
pers in the mans pockets.

Washington, May 23.-Provost Mar
shall General Crowder today announ-
ced that every man Of draft age must
work or fight after July 1. The order
is under drastic amendment to the
selective service regulations. All
draft registrants, besides idlers, in
what are held to be nonuseful occupa-
lions, will be given an opportunity be-
fore local boards to choose a new job
or join the army.
Gamblers, race track and bucket
shop attendants and fortune tellers
head the list, but those who will be
reached by the new regulation also in
clpde walters and bartenders, theater
ushers and attendants, passenger ele-
vator operators and other attendants
Of clubs, hotels, stores, etc., domestics
and clerks in stores.
Deferred classification granted on ac-
count Of dependents will be disregard
ed entirely in applying the rule. A
man may be at the bottom of class 1,
or even in class 4. but if he fails with
in the regulation and refuses to take
useful employment he will be given a
new number in class 1 that will send
him into the military service forthwith.
Local boards are authorized to use dis
erection only where they find that en-
forced change of employment would
result in disproportionate hardship up
on his dependents.
May Solve the Labor Problem.
The statement Of the provost mar
shall generals ONCE is as follows:
provost Marshal General Crowder
today announced an amendment to the
selective service regulations which
deals with the great question Of cox-
polling men not engaged in a useful
occupation Immediately to apply them
selves to some form Of labor, contrib
uting to the general good. The idler,
too, will find himself confronted with
the alternative of finding suitable en-
ployment or entering the army.
'"This regulation provides that after
July 1, any registrant who is found by
local board to be habitual idler or
not engaged in some useful occupation
shall be summoned before the board,
given chance to explain and, in the
absence Of satisfactory explanation,
to be indicted into the military service
Of the United States.
"Any local board will be authorized
to take action, whether it has an orig
inal jurisdiction of the registrant or
not; in other words, any man loafang
around poolroom in Chicago may be
held to answer to a Chicago board even
though he may have registered in
New York and lived there most Of his
life.
The regulations which apply to idle
registrants will be deemed to apply
also to gamblers of all description and
employees and attendants Of bucket
shops and race tracks, fortune tellers,
clairvoyants, palmists and the like,
who for the purpose of the regulations
shall be considered as idlers.
