KW SERVICE BILL IS
po irons
WITH LITTLE CHRNGE
Measure in Original - Form, as
Favored by War Department,
Goes Through House by Vote
of 336 to 2
WASHINGTON. Aug. 24. —With but
•wo voter against it. the house late to
’ day put "36 approving votes behind the
i great man power bill and passed it on
‘ to the eenate.
That tody will pass it early next
week, probably with no dissenting votes.
; As it gees to the senate the bill gives
I the war department free rein in calling
every maa be tween IS and 45 who is
needed to win a military victory over
autocracy.
Lxst-minute attempts to defer tho
youths oi is and 15 were decisively de
feated when a letter iroin Secretary
I Baker was read, declaring unalterable
I opposition to deferring the younget
I men.
lieprcsentative Gordon, of Ohio, a’
I Democrat, and Representative London,
of New York, a Socialist, cast the votes
against the bill. Representative Gordon
; has recently been defeated for re-noni
ination because of his opposition to ali
administration war policies and meas
ures.
Senate Gets BUI Monday
The senate will formally receive tht
bill as passed by the house Monday.
The military affairs committee has been
notified to meet and make an immediate
report, substituting the house bill for
< the senate measure, so as to obviate con
i fusion. By Tuesday or Wednesday at
the latest, the measure should pass.
| closing America's latest message to the
| kaiser.
The senate has not yet settled either
of the chief points of controversy. De
ferring of youths of 18 and 19 has
caused much discussion and pending
amendments to delay calling these men
will receive many votes. But Senator
Chamberlain is confident it will be over
whelmingly defeated.
Secretary Baker s letter will be pre
, sented to the senate, to swing waver
. ing senators into line for the exact pro
gram mapped out by the war de.part
' ment. In this letter Mr. Baker said de
ferring the IS-19-year youths would
"seriously impair the war department's
ability to get the men needed." Many
senators who for sentimental reasons,
oppose calling the boys, have pledged
their votes to Senator ChamPerlain It
he can convince them all those between
18 and 45 are needed now. The Thomas.
Reed amendment, designed to prevent
strikes of war workers. Is likely to con
-1 slime the most time. The house re
jected a similar amendment but senti
ment for it is strong in the senate.
V/adsworth's Proposal
Senator Wadsworth has gained some
backing for his proposal to extend the
selective act to the navy and marine
corps. -Mr. Wadsworth has pointed out
, that unless this is done, the navy’, when
' in need of men. will have to beg th<
men of the army and must take the kln<"
of men the army will give.
Aiming to get every man who ought
to. the house, in the closing hours oi
work on the measure, amended it t<
provide for further recomblng of defer
red classes. But for the pleas of de
partment heads, it would have passed
an amendment removing the blanket ex
emption from thousands of government
clerks and other employees. Only the
statement that calling of these wouU
disorganize war work eeriously, re
strained the house.
There seemed no doubt tonight that
the bill will be sent to the president in
time to assure registration of the new
levies early in September, if the war
department wishes it.

.20.000 HUNS TAKEN
BY GEN. HAIG’S FORCES
SINCE AUGUST 21
(Oontinccd from Page One.)
I then met them wit hthe point of the
bayonet.
in many places where the Germans
have been forced to retreat the British
are progressing cautiously because the
Germans have placed mines in the roads
in the hope of delaying the advancing
artillery, transports and troops. The
British, knowing the ways of the enemy,
however, so far have not been caught
I by these devices.
More prisoners, heavy guns and ma
chine guns have been taken in the last
; twelve hours.
The Germans apparently expected
something was going to happen south
of the Somme. Late yesterday when
British patrols pushed in outposts the
enemy counter attacked, but he was
forced to retire without gaining any
ground.
Everywhere from the River Scarpc
to Lihons the battle continues today and
the British are making progress, not
withstanding a stiff resistance from the
I German machine gunners. Astride tha
l River Sonnne the British have material
ly advanced their lines.
In the close lighting south of Ba-
■ paumd numerous Germans were killed
or captured and other fled rather than
, face the British steel.
Mangin Pushing Steadily
Toward Coucy-le-Chateau
PARIS, Aug. 26.—(1u a. m.)—While
French artillery is smashing up the new
German defensive positions preparatory
to a crossing of the Oise east of Noyon,
I General Mangin is pushing on methodi
cally toward Coucy-le-Chateau, in the
face of fierce resistance.
The Germans have fortified the north
bank of the Oise from Noyon to Chauny.
At some points the enemy is counter-at
tacking.
British Official Statement
Describes New Attack
LONDON, Aug. 26.—The British ex
tended their drive farther northward
into the Arras sector by suddenly at
tacking along the Scarpe river at 3
o’clock this morning, Field Marshal Haig
reporting "good progress.”
(The Scarpe flows through the north
ern outskirts of Arras.)
Capture of Favreuil (two miles north
and east of Bapaumei was announced.
The British line has been advanced
further on both sides of the Somme and
I additional progress has been made to-
I ward Maricourt (four miles southwest
of Combles).
The text of the British statement
reads:
“At 3 o’clock this morning our troops
attacked in the Scarpe sector and are re
ported to have made good progress.
“On the southern portion Os the battle
front we have advanced our line slightly
I astride the Somme and by a successful
i operation carried out yesterday after
; noon have made progress in the direc-
I tion of Maricourt.
"Yesterday evening the enemy launch
: ed strong counter attacks south and
north of Bapaume in the neighborhood
‘of Eaucourt L’Abbaye and Favreuil.
I In both localities the attacks were re
pulsed. North of Favreuil our troops
■ met the .enemy with the bayonet, in
| dieting heavy casualties on him and tak-
I ing prisoners.
“Another counter attack attempted hy
the enemy later in the evening in the
latter neighborhood was also unsuccess
ful. Favreuil is in our hands and we
have made progress beyond the village.
“North of this point we have im
proved our position southeast of Mory
and west of Croisilles.
“Heavy rain is falling on the battle
front.”
Bapaume Is Slowly Being
Pocketed by the British
NEW YORK, Aug. 26—Summary of
European War Cables to the Associated
Press. —Extending the Picardy battle
line far to the north Into the Artois
sector, the British launched an attack
this morning in the Scarpe region east
of Arras. This attack may be consid
ered as a new development of the ter
i rifie battle east of the Ancre river
which has been going on since last
Wednesday.
The British war office says that good
progress has been made in the new
attack which was begun in an area
where the Germans hold strongly forti
fied lines which have been held by them
for the last two years.
Just to the south of the Cojeul river
the British have seemingly encountered
a slight setback, for today's reports
show that they are fighting west of
regions where the battle was said to
be going on yesterday.
Bapaume is seemingly being slowly
pocketed by the British. Favreuil, a
mile and a half to the northeast, has
ben taken by the British, who have
passed beyond the village, while farther
north Mory has been left behind by
Field Marshal Haig’s men.
Progress on each side of the Somme
river is officially reported from Lon
don, and it is said that the British are
advancing toward Marlcourt, four miles
northeast of Bray.
There lias been great artillery activ
ity from Roye to the Aiane river, ac
cording to the Frepch official report,
lut there is no mention of new in
fantry attacks in this vital sector. Ger
man surprise attacks on the French
lines in the Vosges sector have been
•.epulsed, according to Paris.
As the battle stands today the Brit-,
ish appear to be quite near the old
Hindenburg line south of Arras, wjiile
they are making an attack directly
against it along the Scarpe river. If
the attack launched this morning is
successful it may have a determining
effect on the course of the battle fur
ther south, for a German retreat over
a wide section might be forced. It also
a 111 affect the Flanders sector to the
north, 'rom which the Germans are
said to be retiring.
Heavy rain is falling over the battle

area, it is reported. This will tend to

Violent Resistance Vain
Enemy forces are putting up a vio
lent resistance against the British but
to no avail. Since last Wednesday they
have been driven eastward an average of
more than four miles on the thirty
mile frort. The greatest allied gain
has been six miles toward Bapaume,
one of the most important points in the
salient. The British momentum appar
ently increases in spite of the strong
efforts of the Germans to stay the on
coming rush of tanks, cavalry and in
fantry More than 17,000 German pris
oners already have been counted and
tne enemy losses are said to be in ex
jess of the British casualties. Unoftl
cially, the number of prisoners is placed
at 2»>,000.
On most of the front the British have
pushed the Germans from the high
grojnd so neucssary for delens-*. Also,
the enemy has been forced out of much
of the "crater country” marking the cld
Somme K attlefleld us 1916. This has
opened up new opportunities for the
tanks and cavalry. Allied airplanes
continuously bombard troop concentra
tions and strategic centers behind the
German lines
The Germans held on to Bapaume
throughout Sunday, in heavy fighting.
General Byng’s forces however are in
Avesnes a suburb one-half mile to the
west, and have reached Favreul, two
miles to the north, and are reported
in Thilloy, one mile and a half south
southwest. The fall of Bray, which came
after the capture of Albert, has enabled
the British to press eastward, and they
are reported in Suzanne, two miles to
the east, and at the edge of the swamp
country which lines the Somme to close
to Peronne. If the enemy has counted
on gaining the Hindenburg line and
there finding secure positions from
which to beat off allied attacks, his
plans may be’ upset by the rapidity with
which the British have progressed to
ward Bullecourt. Once inside the Hin
denburg defenses around Bullecourt the
British have a good path toward Cam
brai.
North fvorn Soissons to Roye, the
French are hammering the Germans
with their artillery. Except on the
vital sector north of Soissons the in
fantry has been Inactive. East of Bag
neux. General Mangin has captured four
hundred prisoners in a successful thrust
eastward. It is not improbable in view
of the reports of an enemy retirement
north of the Vesle that the Germans
are holding here in order to protect
the flank of the withdrawal movement
between Soissons and Rheims.
Victory Sure, Says Clemenceau
Premier Clemenceau says the for
tunes of the war have been definitely
decided, owing to the victories of the
last six weeks.
Austro-Hungarian soldiers have been
taken prisoner by the allies at two dif
ferent points on the main battle line,
but there are no indications that Aus
trian aid for the battered German di
visions is in great force.
Comparatively heavy fighting is tak
ing place in Albania. Vienna says that
Austrian troops have crossed the Sem
en! near the Adriatic, and claims suc
cesses also in the center on the enemy
left. Rome reports the repulse of Aus
trian attacks against advanced posts
along the Semeni,
PRUSSIAN ARMIES
BEGIN RETREAT TO
BELGIAN BORDER
Kaiser Must Admit as His
Men Turn Towards Home
That Heavy Losses of Life
in Spring Have Been in Vain
LONDON, Aug. 24.—“ Germany's
last hope of winning this war has
gone forever,” declared the admiralty
wireless today. ’’With each proceed
ing stage in the present fighting the
certainty of her defeat becomes more
clearly apparent. Week by week the
American troops are pouring across
the Atlantic. Germany failed to win
the war before they came. They ar
rived in time to play a great part in
■he breaking of the German thrust.”
BY J. W. T. MASON
NEW YORK, Aug. 24. —Ludendorff is
now in permanent retreat. He is fight
ing a series of gigantic rear guard ac
tions which will continue at intervals
until the German front is so shortened
as at least to follow the line of the
Belgian border eastward to the River
Meuse.
The retirement from western France
has been forced upon the Germans by
the enormous strength of the Ameriacn
armies in Europe. Ludendorff, in fact,
is now starting to prepare whatever de
spairing answer he may have to General
March’s recent declaration*that 4,000,000
American troops can win the war next
year.
Marshal Foch’s present strategic pur
pose is to prevent the Germans from
retiring unmolested, as they did seven
teen months ago, to the original Hinden
burg line. The Germans must go back,
but they dare not make a sudden retro
grade movement as rapidly as last year,
for sea rthat an opening will be made in
their lines and they will be cut to
pieces. Hence the present operation ha*
taken the form of a slow shuffle where
in the Germans are losing large num
bers of prisoners and guns, but are pre
serving their front intact.
Germans Sacrificed in Vain
The momentous fact Is now apparent
that the kaiser is hesitantly admitting
all the enormous German casualties
during this year’s spring offensive, have
been in vain. The German army is turn
ing its back on Frace and is starting to
go home. Ludendorff’s gamble witn
death has failed. This is the real mean
ing of the ceaseless allied successes
from Soissons to Arras. They are local
engagements only in the sense that they
do not constitute a major offensive. They
do, however, represent a major retreat
on the part of the Germans.
The reserve army of the Rhine must
now begin to be created by Ludendorff.
It must consist of at least a million
men if the German general staff has any
hope of protecting German territory
even to the east of the Rhine next year.
Germany has no reservoir at home
from which a million new men fighters
can be drawn. Possibly 400,000 first
line troops may be secured from the
youths reaching military age between
now and 1919. This leaves 600,000,
which can only be found among the
German forces now in France and Bel
gium. Before so serious a depletion
of man-power can occur, the German
west front must be shortened to a far
greater extent than a retreat to the
Hindenburg line will allow.
May Stop at Belgium Boundry
For the present, it is probable, Luden
dorff has his attention fixed on the Bel
gian boundary as his ultimate goal of
retirement- The kaiser will do his ut
most to retain possession of Belgium
for the purpose of negotiations at the
peace conference. The Belgian bound
ary, however, is too long to be held by
the Germans permanently, if a major
effort is to be made to protect German
territory from the Americans. Eventual
ly, the shortening process must carry
the Germans back to eastern Belgium.
But the kaiser will be reluctant to make
so disastrous a sacrifice and before he
accepts the inevitable the Americans may
have reached the Rhine. Nevertheless,
the eventual extreme of Lundendorff’s
retreat now begun in France will cer
tainly not fall short of Liege, unless, 1n
the meantime, Germany surrenders.
Allies Have Got More
Than $6,000,000,000
From U. S. Treasury
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Payments
to the allies since the United States
entered the war today passed another
billion dollar mark and stood at 86.089,-
064,750. This represents the aggregate
of checks actually drawn on the treas
ury and paid, as distinguished from
credit established, or agreements by
the United States government to make
loans, which now amount to $6,692,-
040.000.
All credit accounts are open and are
being drawn on periodically by the
governments to which they are extend
ed, excepting that to Russia, which has
an unexpended balance of $137,000,000.
Technically, this is' stjjl available, but
the Bolsheviki government has never
presented any demands for payment.
Credits now established for the allies
are as follows:
Great Britain, .$3,345,000,000; France,
$2,065,000,000; Italy, $760,000,000: Rus
sia $325,000,000; Belgium, $154,250,000;
Greece, $15,790,000; Cuba. $15,000,000;
Serbia, $12,000,000.
Reports have reached the treasury re
cently that some Italian commercial in
terests felt the United States was not
making adequate loans to Italy, nor
making sufficient effort to bring down
the high rate of exchange which works
as a hardship on Italian importers.
Treasury officials explained'today that
every request of the Italian government
for loans has been granted, and that
there is no difference of opinion be
tween the two governments.

Special Commission Created
by Legislature to Leave for
Capital September 1
On Sunday, September 1, the special
commission created under the provisions
of an act passed at the last session of
the general assembly, will leave for
Washington, D. C., to present to the
federal officials plans for the proposed
i barge canal from St. Marys, Ga., to St.
| Marks. Fla., via the St. Marys river,
the Okeefenokee swamp, the Suwanee
I river and the St. ?4arks river.
Several conferences will be held in
: the national capital, representatives
i from the various southern states par
ticipating in the meetings which will
bring out the points of value possessed
by the canal project as relates to mili
tary necessity, economic worth and
transportation facilities.
It is planned to arrange a confer
ence with President Wilson, as well as
others with Director-General McAdoo,
the war industries board, the fuel ad
ministration, food administration, ship
ping board and the committee on inland
waterways. As the proposed canal
would provide a means of relieving
transportation congestion on railroads,
would facilitate coal movements from
the mining districts of the south, would
open up a vast region of agricultural
lands and would give direct communi
cation between the Atlantic ocean and
the Gulf of Mexico, the project is ex
pected to be received with interest by
the federal authorities, especially as a
war measure.
The present plans call for con
struction of the canal at a cost of about
$42,000,000, the government doing the
construction work, while it is believed
that Georgia and Florida would furnisn
convict labor for the job The canal
would ba 2’3 miles m length.
On Monday, September 2, the com
mission will confer with the governors
of Florida. Alabama. Mississippi, Louisi
ana and Georgia, while another confer
ence attended by the Georgia legisla
tive committee, the committee from the
Georgia Council of Defense and the exe
cutive committee of the St. Marys-St.
Marks Canal association. These confer
ences will precede the actual presenta
tion of the project to the federal offi
cials.
Among those composing the various
committees and commissions to make
the trip to Washington are: Governor
Dorsey, President Samuel L. Olive, of
the state senate; Speaker John N.
Holder, R. H. Frohock, Judge Spencer

Indications Point to
High-Class Stock Show
At Southeastern Fair
As the state fair at Dallas. Texas,
has been abandoned and the cattle
breeders of the southeast are now look
ing toward the Southeastern fair as the
logical point for exhibiting their flnest
specimens, officials of the fair associa
tion here expect the cattle show to be
staged at Lakewood in October to Tank
with the very best in the country.
"The fact that the Texas fair at Dal
las will not be held this year,” said
Mr. Strlplin, ’“means that the South
eastern fair is going to be more impor
tant than ever. Dallas was our Only
competitor on the dates Which have be4n
set aside in October for the Southeast
ern. Our prizes will be sufficiently
large to remunerate breeders, and the
best stock of the breeders in the south
east and southwest will be on exhibi
tion.”
