UNDER NEW DRAFT RULES Washington, Dec. 1.?Under the new draft rules and regulations effective December 15, men convicted of failing to register on last June 5 will be dealt with more harshly than under the old system. Provost Marshal General Crowder announced today that such men, instead of being given jail sentences as has been done in many cases heretofore, will be listed by local boards so as to insure their call with the first increment summoned after the new rules are nut into force. Local boards are directed not to send the registration cards of the convicted men to their State Adjutant General for serial numbers assignment, but to place them at the top of the first class liable for call. Thus the men, it was pointed out, will forfeit all chances of the master list rotation except in cases where physical condition or terms of the law require exemption or deferred classification. Men now under suspended sentence for failing to register also will be listed at the top of the first class, it was announced. SAYS GERMANY MUST DEMAND LARGE INDEMNITY i r\..? i a..? .r; Dance minister, during the budget debate in the Saxon Diet, according to a dispatch to The Times from Amsterdam, said that Germany must demand a large indemnity without bothering which of her adversaries should pay it, adding: "Let them think of America."

Byng's recent < victory which so seriously menaces I the German Cambrai base. The German turning movement patently gave the British a trying time of it. They were obliged hurriedly to withdraw their troops from the area that was being cut oft by the progress of the German wedge and according to Berlin, they lost 4,000 men in prisoners in the process. The capture of several batteries of field guns also claimed by the German staff. The news dispatches indicate that a number of endangered guns were blown up by Gen. Byng's artillerymen and the pieces that fell into German hands may be presumed to have been these. According to the Berlin statement, Moeures and Bourlon and from Fontaine and LaFolie the Germans threw back thfe British to the villages ctf flrniner?ii?-f Contain^. They also captured Gonnclieu and Villers-Guislain. British counter-attacks finally stopped the Teutonic rush and saved the day. The counter thrusts on the part of the British are continuing today and while some of the ground lost in the drive still remains in Ger- : man hands, the situation today >s reported such as not to cause any par- l ticular uneasiness. t The losses to both sides, particu- < larly to the German columns in their < massed attacks, arc reported heavy. 1 The Crown Prince Buppreeht evi- i dently purposed to make amends for i his defeat by crushing the new sa- 1 lient with attacks all alon^ the front i and with especially strong efforts at 1 the northern and southern ends with 1 the apparent plan of driving north s and south and cutting off the British east of a line from Moeuvres to Gon- 1 A m IESTERFIELD ising the estate c d for cash to the rthouse door at :ary 7, 1 >! land to he sold, as folio liles north-east of Che* A good one-horse fan ule sou th of Chesterfieh ic Perkins place.
