No. 287 THE EVENING NEW Local Inquisitorial Body Now Busily Engaged In Pre liminary Work. 100 MAILED EACH DAY hMghteeii las Will Complete Mail ing Itegisliniits NotilUil Within Four Days of Classilicntion AiHul if t'lisatKI'iu lory. The franked envelopes in which the questionnaires are to he enclos ed and mailed out to the registrants for the draft, and other forms to be used specifically by the Jocal in quisitorial body, were received at the sheriff's office this morning ami the work of checking over the long list of men effected by the selective draft laws, preparatory to carrying out in structions to the letter, is now in full progress. Mrs. Johnson, the ciicuit court reporter is making out type written mailing lists on the proper forms furnished for this purpose, which will greatly expedite th? work of addressing the envelopes. The questionnaires are to he mail ed out to registrants at the rate of one hundred a day beginning Decem ber 15, and none will he forwarded before that time. According to Mr. Raffety. who is assisting with the work, it will require IS days to com plete the mailing of the question naires. I'pon receipt of the questionnaire the registrant is allowed seven das to fill out the answers to the many questions asked, which cover a peri od of ten years of the registrant's past life, as to what occupations lie has been engaged in. how long en gaged, etc.. and many hundreds of other questions, which may require the services of an at 1 01 ney. This legal assistance, if necessary, has been looked after, too The i egis trans can take the questionnaire to most any attorney who will gladl help the applicant to correctly i"s wer all the doubtful questions in. -ligently as set forth by law. The boa rd in turn is req u i red to notify the registrant within lour days aft er his questionnaire has been receiv ed and consequent 1 t lie ma i lint ol only one hundred questionnaires a day. If all were sent out in one or two days it would almost be impos sible to furnish notification of clas sification in the require length ot time. The registrant is allowed five days in which to appeal If his clas sification, made by the board, is not satisfactory and in ext reme cases he may appeal direct to the presi dent. However, the draft boaid hat a right to subpoena any witnesses, and as many as they deem neces sary to substantiate or otherwise prove any of the allegations set out in the questionnaire. For the benefit of those who may be confused on one point or another, it might be well to add that the questionnaire is not a call, or a draft, but it is merely a feeler, for the benefit of the government to gel Hi's t information as to where thy men effected by the next call to col ors, which is sure to lnllow at some future date, are best suited, and it comes merely as a classification loi this purpose. Should a re t;i st rant be summoned, before the exempt ion board having claimed exemption for minor physic al disabilities, his case will be care fully in est igalcd. and if found that the man cannot meet t he require ments ol army regulations, fie will not be gran led a full exem pt ion as the law plainly sets iorth that mti' h Important work is iatr;ed on behind the lines of battle which does not call for perfect ly physical 1 1 oops and in many cases these in n will be drafted to fill thi.- need.

Violent efforts or German rorces to retrieve the dlsastors of the last ten daya before Cainbrul have brought little tactical success as a general thing. The Hrliish, under llenoral Llyng. have withstood ull at tempts to break through their lines, and the iJermans were hurled back with great loss at ull points in the division in the vicinity of tlonnelleu. At Terrain the Teutons were silent ly suceessful, but at n heuvy cost in lives sacrificed. llritlsh troops have evacuated Masnierea. Hero the iicrinans lost heavily In dead and wounded, the Urltish also taking many hundreds or prisoners. In the Important sector west or Cambrai, embracing Rourlon wood, which is Ihe dominating position, the Germans made no impression on Rritlsh lines. Vncquories is held' by the Germans, l letwee Mast teres und Gonnelleu, ''.ere the fighting was of a moat des o.uto character, the dead in twelve hours numbered more than In. any similar period since the war began. The Rrltish have reached Golnnellue and were lighting in and around the vllluge Sunday. A detachment of American en gineers, who are engaged hi operat ing and building railroads within the Rrltish linen boiithwcHt of Gonnelteu were caught in the first rush of the German attack, and many of the men sought shelter In the ahell holes, from which they were later rescued by llritlsh counter attacks. The en gineers aided tne Rritish in with Htunding the enemy attacks. Several of Ihe men were captured1 bv Ger man troops, but later managed to escape and get back to their own lines. Rrltish army authorities give (he highest praise to the work ol Ihe engineers In this engagement, and it In mated that many of the men seized rifleu and cartridges from dis abled soldiers and fought sine by side with the Tommies in with standing German attacks. Scores of Americans were armed last night and ::ent forward to patrol the hospital .one. It Ib said that these experi ences nut pusn anything that t'nitcd Slates forces have heretofore en eoiintered in actual lighting at the front.
