Marlborough Churchill, head of the military Intelligence eection of the United State Army general staff. NEW DRAFT RULES ARE IN PROSPECT Washington. New regulations tin der which the government would do the selecting, rather than leaving it ; to the registrant, are under considera tion by the war department This was disclosed by Secretary Baker after he had appeared before the senate miH- ( tary committee to urge prompt enact- ; ment of the new selective service act extending the age limits to include.all men between the ages of 18 and 45. The war secretary made it plain that he is not satisfied with the pres ent system under which the registrant must claim deferred classification, as many 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 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 Is understood to regard this as the fair and equi table system. I Paris Marshal Foch has struck the Germans on a new front and French opinion, lay and professional, Is lost In admiration of the manner in which the blow has been carried out. The present maneuver on the Pi cardy front is similar to the couuter offensive north of the Marne in that It is directed toward squeeiing two sides of a salient The allied drive, begun over a meager front of less than 20 miles, has grown to a width of more than 40 miles, extending in an trregular line from Albert to Vignemont. Re ports received stated that the fighting is spreading northward toward Arras and eastward toward the Oise. When it will have reached these points the battle will present a front of nearly 75 miles. Nearly 40,000 prisoners and 700 guns have been taken by the allies in Picardy, according to reliable inform ation here. Extremely bitter resistance is be ing encountered from the Germans along the line of ChaulnesRoye-Noy-on. The enemy is bringing up strong reinforcements, while the allies are preparing for a further advance. The French advanced eastward af ter their capture of MouUlidier. The Germans at Montdidler were caught between the jaws of a vise. Converging attacks from the north and from the south succeeded in en circling the town. The French advance rendered use less to the Germans the Montdidler Chaulnes railway which was the only line feeding the front at the bottom of the Montdidler pocket The supplies taken have been so large that it has not been possible to make an inventory of then) as yet It includes an enormous number of shells of all calibers and arms of all description.

Anglo-French troops hav gained the ascendancy. The line in Picardy is held solidly by infantry. Cavalry skirmishers ars well in ad vance of it and preparing the way foi further progress. The Germans are relying on machine guns to stem the allied tide, not wish ing to rlBk capture of their artillery. The enemy is defending himself with desperate courage wherever the posi tion affords means, and the officers are shooting down any soldiers who show symptoms of quitting. French and British light troops, pa trols and armored cars are reported operating far beyond the points men tioned in the official statements. The Infantry is following untiringly and in sufficient masses to crush all attempts made by the enemy to counter attack. The majority of the prisoners so far taken are rather old, which the news papers say shows that the secondary divisions were holding the line. The number of officers is very large, while fully one-half of the guns behind the German lines have been captured. AMIENS OUT OF GUN RANGE Finns Reject King Bill. Amsterdam. The bill providing for the election of a king of Finland was rejected on the third reading in the Finnish Diet because it failed to re ceive the necessary five-sixths ma jority vote. Canadians Will Go to Siberia. Ottawa. Canada-will be represent ed by a military unit of approximately 1000 men in the expeditionary force which the allied government will send to Siberia. Great Transportation Center 8afe, Thanks to Allied Triumphs. London. Speaking at a luncheon at Newport, Monmouthshire, Premier Lloyd George emphasized the import ance of the pushing back of the Ger mans from within gun range of the Amiens railway. "Hundreds of trains used to pass through Amiens daily," the Premier said, "but we were temporarily de prived of its U86 until recently, when we were able to employ 30 trains daily. Amiens is now safe, through the recent allied triumphs on the Marne and the Somme, which were due to the unity of command." THE MARKET8 Portland. Oats No. 2 white feed, $59 per ton.
