Early Results In Battle American forces this morning launched an attack on tho Gorman positions. At !> o'clock they had progressed generally along the line. Some prisoners were taken at differ ent parts of the sector. Tho first wave of American troops met with little resistance and at 8 o'clock the second American wave was in possession of several points of tho Gorman first Hue. French and American artillery this morning directed a terrille ?barrage flro on tho Gorman positions on this front. Tho reply of tho German big guns was vigorous at some places, although as a whole lt was weak. There aro some Indications that the Germans arc withdrawing their artil lery, although lt ls moro probable that they aro going to fight hard be fore being driven out, after enduring a stifling barrago of more than eight hours. Tho Gormans at somo points aro in creasing tho volume of their big gun fire, though Ineffectually. Pershing's Own Report. Washington, Sopt. 12.-American troops operating in the St. Mlhlel sector made considerable gains to day, Gen. Pershing reported in his communique to tho War Department late to-night. Already 8,000 prison ers have bee i counted and the mo ve rnon I still i In progress.

Assisled hy French units they 'broke the ene my's resistanco and advanced at some points to a dopth of live miles. Wo havo counted 8,00 0 prisoners up to tho present. The operation is still in progress." American Wounded Arrive. Paris, Sept. lil.-About a hundred of the first American wounded, arriv ing in the roar from tho St. Mlhlel sector, glvo tho Impression that thc battlo was a great victory and full of promises for tho future. The Amer ican troops exhibited splendid dash, somo of tho roglments moving to tho assault with flags flying and singing the Marscllaise. Ono of tho principal points of sup port In tho onomy's defense was ta ken at tho point of tho bayonet. De spite fierce resistance, tho Gormans were completely overthrown and suf fored exceptionally heavy losses. Tho American units co-operated splendidly with tho French. Ono CONTINUE HUNTING SLACKERS. Uso ot Soldiers ami Marine? Not Judged Legal or Wise. Washington, Sept. ll. While condemning tho uso ol' soldiers and sailors In tho "slacker round-ups" in Now York City as contrary to law, Attorney General Gregory in a letter to President Wilson said the D?part mont of Justice, unless specifically ordered to the contrary hy the Presi dent, would continue to throw out dragnets for slackers. Soldiers and sailors and certain members of the American Protective Leaguo were employed in tho raids, the Attorney General said, hy repre senatlves of the Department of Jus tice, who acted without warrant of authority. Mr. Gregory added, how ever, that ho was satisfied they had 'been led into this breach through ex cess of zeal for the public, good. Mr. Gregory, who was writing In reply to a request from tho Presi dent for all tho facts in connection with tho round-ups, said an Investi gation conducted by him convinced him that tho numbor of persons over or under tho draft ago who had been apprehended was Inconsiderable, that thero was no disorder anywhere, and that no persons woro known to have boon a8asulted or mistreated. Resides being unlawful, Mr. Greg ory said tho employment of members of the military forces and of private organizations in making tho arrests was "ill judged." Ho added that un questionably a conslderablo number of porsons, who on the showing nrade by them should not have been ar rested, were detained-none, how ever, over night. TRY IT !

Illiteracy Work. Columbia, Sept. 13.-'Special: Tho Illiteracy Commission of South Caro lina has obtained tho services of Miss WU Lou Gray as field worker. Miss Gray was chosen because of her extraordinary success in this kind of work In Laurens county. Por tho last year sho has been a county supervisor in Maryland. Now sho returns to accomplish great things for her nativo State. Miss Gray will take up her work in about three woeks. For tho pres ent communications may bo ad dressed to tho Illiteracy Commission, Columbia, S. C. Patterson Wardlnw. Chairman. American olTlcor who was wounded during tho hottest part of tho battle relates that a small French detach ment found itself in difficulties in a wood if lill of machine guns. Without walting for orders, the Americans advanced spontaneously, and, reaching the rear of tho wood, fell on the enemy and slaughtered the gunners on their weapons. According to La Liberte, at the capture of a certain town the first officer to enter at tho head of his troops was Capt. Michael Clemen ceau, son of the French prime minis ter. This town was stubbornly de fended by two German divisions, great numbers of whom remained as prisoners, in addition to tho large number killed. Franco Thrilled. Paris, Sept. Ul. - News of Ameri ca's first Independent offensive on tho western front has thrilled Franco. Tho newspapers print the battle dispatches in the largest typo and accompany them with maps and ex planations regarding tho ground fought over. No one doubts that tho effort was crowned with full success. Editorial writers pay a tributo to the moderation of Gen. Pershing's olTlelal communication, which ab stained from mentioning tho vlllagos regained or surrounded In tho impos ing advance. There had been rumors for weeks of a coming American offensive, va rious sectors being given by those "woll informed," but as nothing came, the people thought of some thing olso, and to-day's news lost nothing of its effect on this account.

Sept. 12.-Eu gene V. Debs, charged with violating the espionage act, was found guilty by a Federal jury to-day. Talking to newspaper men af'.er tho verdict Debs said: "lt is all right. I have no com plaint to make. It will come out all right in Clod's .good time." Of the original ten counts of the indictment but four remained when the jury retired to consider tho ovl denco. The verdict found him guilty of three; not guilty of one. Ho was found guilty of attempting to IncUe insubordination, disloyalty, etc., In the military and naval forces; at tempting to obstruct recruiting and uttering language tending to incite, provoko and encourage resistance to the United States and promote the causo of the enemy. Tho count on which he was ad judged innocent charged that ho op posed the cause of tho United States. Fair, Both Sides Ajdmit. Counsel for both sides said that they considered Judge Wostenhnvor's instructions fair. They wer? ex haustive and couched In simple lan guage and delivered in a kindly man ner, required ono and a half hours. He made no comment on the evi dence, which prcsentod by the gov ernment, was affirmed by the d?fend ant. buVassurod the jury that the es pionage act was wholly valid. The jury was out five and a half hours, mostly spent in assimilating the line distinctions between the four counts. Spectators remained in the court room throughout. When it was announced that the jury was ready to report tho crowds began to increase. Mrs. Rose?Pastor Stokes, herself under conviction on a simi lar charge, came Inside the railing. Previously, at Debs' request, she had remained hidden in the audience. She drew her chair beside his and into .her hands ho slipped lils own gaunt hand, where lt remained whilo tho clerk was reading the verdict and polling the jury. Sho had oxpoctcd an adverse vordict from tho first, admitting it to her friend. Nor was it a surprise to Debs. In his address to the jury he said he had not ono word to retract, and rather wont out of his way to accept thc St. Louis anti-war platform. Tho maximum penalty is 20 years' Imprisonment and a fine of $10.ooo. Judge Westenhaver stated ho would TROOP TRANSPORT TORPEDOED. AR ol' 2,800 Soldier? Aboard Res cued-Off British Coast. I Washington, Soot. H.-News o? the torpedoing ot' I lie British liner Persic, with 2.800 American troops on board, in the war zone September t>, was given to Hie American people to-day. first through the British ad miralty and then later through the Navy Department. All the soldiers were rescued by accompanying de stroyers; tin; steamer itself was beached and the'submarine is believ ed to have boen accounted for. Officials here view the result of tho attack moro as an allied success than as a disaster. The fact that the steamer was torpedoed when she was endeavoring to overtake the convoyed fleet ol' transports after overcoming engine trouble which had forced her to lag convinced officers that subma rino commanders still are fearful of attacking troop ships In convoy. And tho Immediate and completely suc cessful assistance rendered by the destroyers waa taken as an addi tional evidence that the convoying system in vogue is practically per fect. Nows Held Back. First word of the attack on the Persic, it was learned officially, reached the Navy Department on the night of September G, In a brief dis patch from Vice Admiral Sims, al though navy officials have emphati cally denied in the Interim that any important nows of submarine activ it?s v as being withhold. . It was un derstood that the British admiralty j expressed the request that they be permitted to announce the news of the attack. Rumors that a troop ship had been sunk, probably with heavy loss of life have been current In Washing ton since the publication of what evi dently was an Inspired London dis patch stating that allied naval cir cles had reason to believe that Ger man submarines soon would concen trate their efforts in an attempt to stop tho steady flow of American soldiers overseas. No explanation of tho purpose of this article could be obtained, however, from naval offi cials here. Troops Well Protected. Attacks on troop ships by subma rines constantly are expected by of ficials, and it may be that a new and moro determined camp, ign has been decided upon by the Germans because o-f th" rc.r.e'i sufi ted .. ai; r.?if<?.; tie gr?tttiitui posidbli riv%<m> ?.iou la Afforded troop shin.-,, iud thi . increados aa tho american nava'. i . tope a ic .?.u?oii io by new constriction in American yards. The records achieved by the Amer ican and allied navies in the trans porting of more than 1,GOO,OOO American soldiers overseas with the loss o" only 291 of them is still con sidered miraculous, and it is accept ed by naval officers as testifying to tho success of tho convoy system. British Ship Sunk. New York Sept. ll.-The British passenger steamship Missanabi, 12, 409 tons gross register and in the service of the British admiralty aa a troop transport, has been sunk by a submarine In European waters, ac cording to information brought here by passengers on a ship which re cently sailed from a British' port. The Missanabi, which had been car rying American ?soldiers and army supplies, 'was returning to an Amer ican port. Officers here of the army trans port service and representatives of tho Canadian Pacific Railway line, owner of the ship, said they had re ceived no details of the sinking. The vessel carried a crew of ?iiout 200 and was In command of Capt. Wm. Haines on her last outward voyage. FEW CENTS DESTROYS YOUR DANDRUFF AND STOPS FALLING HAIR Save Your Hair !

Washington, Sept. 12.-Thirteen million men-prohahly more-tie force from which will como the re serves li? win the war, were regis tered to-day in the second -great mo bilization ot* the nation's nvan-power. As these men were moVing lu every.' city, town and hamlet over the conni ry to add their names :o the roll ol' the 1 1,000,000 who had registered before, the nation's fight ing army overseas was hurling itself! against the enemy in the first dis tinctly American offensive operatic;! on the western front. Demonstrations of patriotism everywhere marked the registration. Long before the appointed time lot the registrars to begin their woy it, lines of citizens were awaiting to en roll. All day and until well into the night, men passed through tho reg istration places, and Provost Marshal (?eneral Crowder is confident tha't when the returns are in they will show that there were few who sought to evade their duty. In all the reports of the progress of the registration received during the day at the provost marshal's of fice there was no suggestion <jf any disorder and none had been oxpecteci, for officials had been confident thar, tho deeds of the fighting men over seas had stirred tho nation to tue highest pitch of patriotism and de termination. With registration day now history, j the next move of the draft machin-^ ' cry will be in tho numbering serially j of the registration cards. Until that I work is completed by the local j boards the drawing of the order j numbers which will determine lu \ I measure the relative standing of the registrants, cannot be held. In tho meantime, however, ques tionnaires will go forward to men between 19 and 21 and 8 2 and 3C so that they may be classified and some of them thus made ready for call in" October after the national drawl:);? is held. Complote reports from the regis tration to-day are not expected hy Gen. Crowder before Saturday.

Tlic "Work or Fight" Order. Washington, Sept. 12-Cen, Crow der announced to-night that che work or fight order now being en forced by district boards would not. affect all industries failing to obtain a place on the preference list recent ly established by tho war industries board. An erroneous impression waa current, he said, that the list of five non-productive occupations in which men of draft age cannot be employed if they wish to retain deferred classification had been enlarged to Include all industries which the pref erence list omitted. "This Idea," Gen. Crowder said, "calls for prompt repudiation. The 'non-productive' list of five classified occupations has not been enlarged and it will not be enlarged without the amplest and most explicit notice. Selective service boards are express ly directed until further notice to bring no other occupations under the 'work or fight' order except expressly listed." Tho preference list of the war In dustries hoard, Gen. Crowder said, strengthened the position of a limit ed number of industries most essen tial to the conduct of the war In that they aro recommended to the district draft boards as being necessary and tho hoards may take advantage that recommendation in determl whether an indispensable man such an industry should bo g doforred classification. On t'.ie other hand, the work or fight order, ho said, strengthened the army by taking registrants who chose to stay in a small group of occupations In which they could 1)0 replaced by wo men or oidor men or boys. The two groups, .Gen. Crowder ex plained, "aro not identical and pre sumably never will become identi cal." Anny Olli KT Killed. Charleston, Sopt. 9.-Lieut. W'al tor H.
