DRAFT METHODS CHANGED. Registrants Will Not Have to Claim Exemption. Washington, Aug. 9.-?New draft regulations under which the government would do the selecting rather than leaving it to the registrants, are under consideration by the war department. This was disclosed today by Secretary Baker after he had ap% peared before the Senate military committee to urge prompt enactment of the new selective service act extending the age limits to include all men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. "The war secretary made it plain that he is not satisfied with the present system under which the regis7-ni-ic<+ nloim r?oforrOfl f>1 a sai fi Pa 11 CLXA t UlUOt VlMiui vkv*w VM. tion, as njany men with dependents hesitate, for patriotic reasons, to make such a claim. In this connection Mr. Baker said he was inclined 'to the opinion that the marriage relation will in itself constitute deferred classification. What Mr. Baker has in his mind is to lay down a set of questions which the registrant would answer, and then have rules which would take care of the classification. He i$ understood to regard this as the fair and equitable system. The discussion on the draft ages before the senate committee, Mr. Baker said, followed much the lines taken by Gen. March, chief of staff, and Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder. "There was some discussion," Mr. Baker said, "as to whether it was the intention of the department to extend the work or fight order to include classes of persons in various professional occupations. I told them there was no present cnange 01 me w orn ui fight order in contemplation. I said that when I decided the baseball case I thought, perhaps, other forms of amusement and entertainment might require an extension of the order to he on a parity with the baseball situation. But that was not in their mind. "They had heard from outside sources that the department was considering bringing professional classes, like lawyers, newspaper men and others who were not actually engaged in producing war supplies, under the order." Effect on the Colleges. The committee, Mr. Baker continued, was especially interested in the effect of the extension of draft on colleges, and also in the question as to whether young men from eighteen up \ jvould be drawn indiscriminately in class 1 or placed in a deferred class by age and drawn later, giving them some added months to come to maturity. "I_told the committee," said the i war secretary, "that no fixed policy had been determined upon by the de; partment, but that the purpose was to allow the president to defer in class 1 the call of the younger men. I have always considered, as you ' perhaps, remember, that nineteen was the proper minimum, and I have come to the eighteen minimum only because it seems necessary to get the men." ^ < > m ?ob Sinks Nine Fishing Boats. yv; Nantucket, Mass., Aug. 11.?Nine fishing schooners were sunk off George's Banks today by a German .submarine, a naval scout boat which J put in here tonight reported. b The scout boat picked up word of " the raid from the auxiliary fishing .schooner Helen Murley, which had Tescued four survivors and was taking them to an Atlantic port. Six auxiliary fishing schooners and other craft sailed at once from this port to pick up survivors. George's Banks are sixty miles off this island. Prisoners for Sliort Time. Washington, Aug 11.?Coming to the cnrfaoo in thp mirisit nf a. flp.At of fishing schooners off the Massachusetts coast, a German submarine today sunk nine vessels of the fleet, the navy department tonight announced. The schooners sunk included the Kate Palmer, the Amita May, the Reliance, the Star Buck and the Progress. The names of the other four ships were not contained in navy department dispatches. Four survivors from the crew of the Kate Palmer were picked up by the fishing schooner Helen Murphy and have reached port in safety. No information had been obtained by the navy department tonight as to the fate of the crews of the other schooners. i /\ After the crew of the Kate Palmer had!been taken aboard the submarine and held prisoner for one hour, they were set adrift in a small boat. m ? > ?

NTe\t Spring to Witness Terrific Conflict in France. | Washington, Aug. 7.?Backed by a reservoir of 5,000,000 American troops, Field Marshal Foch, supreme j commander of the American and Al-j lied armies, is preparing to hurl the entire united military strength of; France, Great Britain and the United! States against the Germans on the; western front in order to bring the; war to a victorious conclusion in the shortest possible time. Next spring j will see the terrific conflct, already , in progress on the Aisne-Vesle line,! ill tun swing, wun r ocn s armies; striking with all their power. Views of Gen. March. This was the impression gained today by members of the senate mili-! tary committee who heard Gen. i March, chief of staff, explain in ex-i ecutive session the war department's; reason for asking extension of draft j age limits to include all men between! 18 and 45 years of age. They learned also that the definite decision to enlarge the American military, programme to an army of 5,000,000 men was reached about July 30, and is in accordance with an agreement reached in Paris shortly before that time. American officials who continuous- i ly have pressed for a vigorous aggessive campaign at the earliest possibe moment and with attention concentrated on the western front, be-j lieve that enough could be done this i year to prepare the way for a smash- \ ing military triumph next year when j the full American army becomes j available. The period of time cov-i ered by estimates for equipment and. transportation of troops under the' enlarged army plan is understood to" carry it up to next spring. Three Million to France. As the project is understood, although no details were obtainable, it is contemplated to place an army of substantially . 3,000,000 American troops in France before the spring campaign opens, backed by 2,000,000 more at home, moving forward as needs. In this connection intimations that the British have made extraordinary efforts to concentrate troops on the western front in the last few months become increasingly significant. Coupled with the French and American efforts, this gives promise of such overwhelming forces in the battle next year that*a comparatively short and bitter fight may see the issue decided and the German army driven beyond the Rhine if it is not destroyed in the field. In his mid-week conference with! newspaper men later in the day Gen. March dealt with the battle situation j in general terms and referred to hisi appearance before the senate commit-1 tee only to deny a report that he had j fixed the military programme at landing eighty-four American divisions in France by next May. He had made no such statement, he said. RILEY & COPELANDI Successors to W. P. Riley. Fire, Life < Accident INSURANCE Office in J. D. Copland's Store BAMBERG. S. G.
