I A Mightier Batth
r Predicted on
The wiping out of the Germai
salient at Messines appears, to b<
merely the prelude to a projected bat
tie of a far mightier description s fie
a German reaction of a surprising!;
feeble character. The Hritish hav<
resumed trench raids over a fron
reaching from north of Ypres to a
far south as Epehy, u distance o
about 70 miles as the crow flier, bu
r" far more than that along the tortuou:
| windings of the battle front.
The official announcement of raid
north of Ynres is of esnecial interes
IF"r * ~ *"
in view of the recent frequently re
portod heavy artillery fire on the Bel
gian front. Some weeks ago the Ger
mans made a voluntary retireinen
from in front of the Belgian lines, j
fact little noted at the time in tin
in pressure of greater events. Fron
Ypres the allied front eurvos sharph
to the seu and an udvnnce here wouh
threaten the German hold on thei
great submarine bases on the Bclgiui
coast, Ostend and Zeebrugge.
_ In the meantime there are indica
wj*- -lions that General Sarrail is propar

DEATH OF THOMAS CASON
The many friends of Mr. Thomai
Cason were shocked and grieve<l oi
W last Saturday to learn of his suddei
death.
W Only a few days ago, Mr. Cason
f wVlA mn?l a V?!o U rv r? i /? I <? 1- 1/1..
had visited his mother, Mrs. M. K
Cason and had greeted his man>
friends on the streets of Chesterfield
He grew vip here and being well-liked
' had many friends in Chesterfield, win
were delighted to see him again.
From here Mr. Cason had gone t<
.Vashinglon to attend the Confeder
ate reunion. He had returned to hi;
home town, arriving there about darl
% Friday night. It seems that he hu<
made a short cut across a rnilroat
yard to reach his home, when he was
struck and instanly killed by a switel
engine.
The funeral service was held in th<
Baptist church at Lakeland, Fla., an<
the newspaper account says it was
one of the largest funerals ever heh
in that town, where Mr. Cason was
held in hiL'h esteem.

?ERIOD OF LENIENCY PASSES;
TO ARREST NON-REGISTRANTS
Governor Manning has received the
allowing telegram from the war deinrtment:
"Quotas are to be assigned to the
everal Slates in proportion to their
lopulation as determined by the bueau
of the census and not in proporion
to the registration. The result is
hut every person who has failed to
agister is seriously increasing the
turdcn of those who have registered.
Vmple notice and every opportunity
ins now been given and there is no
ungor any argument upon which the
onduct, of non-registrants can he conloned.
The period of leniency reerred
to in my previous telegram has
low passed.
"Attention is directed to paragraph
0 of the regulations. It is requested
hat every effort be now made to dee
<t and arrest persons subject to rejrstration
who have not registered and
o bring each case promply to the at
ention of the nearest representative
>f the departemcnt of justice.
"Wide publicity should be given to
be effect of non-registration in in
reusing the burden of those who
lave registered. Care should be
uken that the lists prescribed in partgraph
.'!!) are promptly posted and all
regist rants should be asked to assist
n bringing non-registrants to the attention
of the police.
"Summarization reports of the regsf
ration from the various boards
diould beconipared with estimates of
ensus bureau and effort should be |
concentrated on those districts where i
discrepancy between registration and
estimates seems greatest. In case of
iloubt as to the age of perosns who
have not registered tht- tabulated record
of political organizations and
other local records should be consulted
and data may be obtained from the
bureau of the ecn?ii<
"The purpose of this telegram is to
inaugurate from tomorrow a vigorous,
aggressive and effective enforcement
of the penal clauses of the selective
service law against all who have by
their failure or refusal to register
brought themselves under those pro
visions.
"The department of justice is sending
today similar advices to United
States attorneys and marshals with
instructions to release on their own
recogniy.enccs all persons arrested l?y I
marshals or deputy marshals, or b\ .
State, county and municipal p .li <
oilieers and turn over to them who J
promptly registered under terms of!
paragraph lb, iegistration rcgula |
dons. The secretary of war cot.-.trie - I
section it of the selective service law
is requiring compulsory registration
by the ollieer making the arrest of
each arrested person immediately upiin
his conviction.
"IMcaso give notice to ail who have
my duty enjoined upon them in connection
with the enforcement of the
penal clauses of the law and particularly
to State, county and municipal
police named in paragraph l(i of the
regulations."

J. S. DESTROYERS DO GOOD
V/ORK, S vYS JOHN BULL
Tile Brit: It Port Base of the Amerran
F!otill::, via London, June 0.?
I'he American destroyers have com>leled
tlmii lira I i.r.nth of active service
in the real war. They have been
favored with excellent weather, which
s a big factor iii anti-submarine warfare.
Must of the time they have had
many s! u s and smooth seas, with just
i t uium' squatt an? storm to put their
seamanship to test. The favorable
weather conditions made their task of
! Mrr.in.it the technique of anti-sub...urine
warfare much simpler and
easier.
The American boats are assigned to
.vori; hand-in-hand with British
'ptadrons, bcinjt virtually assimilated
into the British naval machinery here.
A destroyer is usually out for four
r fiv? ilnys and then returns to port
for two or three days, while coalinn
:itd h.e.diiitt supplies. Thus every
\niet an sailor pels at least half a
lay shore leave practically every
vee!\
Take Their Torn.
The Americans take their turn with
he British hoats in all routine work
if patrol and convoy. The work, alhoit'dt
largely routine, is interesting,
.tid the Americitns have never yet
'mind time hnn.finjr heavy on their
tands. Th<' lookout must be constant
.ltd eyes i.mst be trained to an almost
inbebevable decree of keenness. Tho
ounjr Americans ttike zealously to
bis business of finding the periscopic
medic in the nautical haystack and
Icily r. oorts of submarines siirhted.
>f observations made, of wireless
varninjrs sent broadcast show the
\uuiican boats are already making
hi average nf results almost as sat-factory
as Ihe lonjr experienced Brith
lioa's with v.hich they arc operatn
jr.
Then has been no actual battle as
<1 between an American destroyer
unl the enemy, although several reic
l'ls show that U-boats have been
.edited and have boon compelled to
eat a hasty retreat to the depths of
he sea.
