FAIRBANKS BOYS
 NOT ALLOWED ANY
 TRANSFORMATION

The Fairbanks local board last Strong resembling the previous wire which granted permission to local registrants to be transported Outside 1t government expense, on account )f the cost being too great at pres ent. According to the governors wire, says the Fairbanks Citizen, the men who wish to volunteer will be leld until spring and will then have their way paid out. Transportation, however, is paid from the coast to he place of enlistment, and it is on- y the interior that is discriminated against.
 The local board last evening decid- ed to wire the governor at once tell ng him of the large number who wanted to go out, and asking what arrangements can be made for trans porting them free of charge from the coast on out, if expenses are paid rom there to the coast. The council )f defense also decided to wire the governor, asking that some action be aken to get the local volunteers out, md there is no doubt that the men who want to go out from here will get out some way. The council of lefense decided that if nothing else could be done the money to get the )oys to the coast would be raised lere in town and their way would )e paid out until they reached point from which the government would pay their way.
 It was thought by the board that he cost of getting the men out now would not be much greater than in he open season, and they will in- orm the governor of this fact. The wires will be sent at once, and un- il answers are received the local enlistment will be at a standstill.
 The telegram from the governor cad as follows:
 "A. R. Heilig. Fairbanks. ~,s.s
 You are instructed that provisions If my telegram of January and my elegram of January 21 relative to olunteers induction under section 50 insofar as they apply to your ,oard, are revoked for the reason hat the expense of sending men out before open season is too great.
 STRONG, Governor"

By The Associated Press

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE
VEsLE, Aug. S.-Under an almost inces-
SAINT shell fire the Americans struggled
forward to-day to slightly better posi-
tons north OF the Vesle. French d.
visions TO the east and west did their
part in Strengthening the line.
This day was not marked by organ
lied attacks anywhere along this front.
but was punctuated by sharp minor en-
gagements. in which the American gun
ners successfully covered the operations
OF the infantry and the engineers. Along
the entire front there was evident a de-
termination to stabilize the lines.
Whether the battle that began July is
has virtually ended or whether the Ger
mans will withdraw beyond the Aisne
are unanswered questions.
To the Americans already north of the
river there was added considerable
strength during the night and early
morning. The line tonight is well fixed
along the Rouen- Rheims road from near
Bazoches. which still is IN the hands OF
the Germans, to a point well east OF
Flsmes.
The Americans hold Fismes appar-
emily secure, but the village Of North
fismes proved difficult, and at midday
was subjected to a terrific shelling by the
American artillery, with the intention
OF making II untenabl with that small
point once cleared the line would run
uninterruptedly toward the east
The Germans have had strong ma
chine gun positions in Aisne and to the
north and east. II was the opposition
offered by them that resulted in the
American determination not TO attempt
occupation by the infantry. but to de-
stroy the enemy with artillery.
On the hills beyond the line at almost
every available point the German light
artillery has been placed, while the
heavy guns are located beyond the
Aisne and guns OF medium calIbre are
northwest of Pelles commanding the
region about Bazoches. Since the fight
began on the Vesle these guns have
steadily pounded the American line. but
the American artillery has been equally
energetic in replying.
Comparatively little damage has been
done by the German guns. while the
silencing OF enemy gun fire from his
lighter artillery positions is an evidence
Of the accuracy OF the American aim,
and the destruction OF various German
machine gun positions has been obvious.
1t Is still generally believed that the
Germans are making nothing more than
a pretence of holding their lines here.
The testimony OF prisoners to-day con-
tinues to indicate that positions beyond
the Aisne have been prepared by the
Germans and that the present action is
to gain time and also to infiict as much
loss as possible on the Americans and
their allies.
