Ijane county is csiiea uin for the greatest number of -men. a total of 287. tClatsop county is asked for 258, and Clackamas 238. it is unaer tnod that the establishment of the gross current quota will deprive Just 6458 man from seeking induction into tne service aa volunteers, inasmuch as draft regu lations say. men within current quotas cannot volunteer. In establishing the gross Quota, Ore gon was credited with 1844 men called and Inducted, 83$ men taken- in volun tary calls for small groups of specialists, and with 8373 available class 1 men under date of May 29. This gave the state a total of 11,840 men, and, from that number a deduction of 8361 men was made to cover the number the state' haa furnished under previous general calls, which left a total of 7779. Then 80 per cent of that number was taken as the current gross quata. thus making a quota of 5458 men. Class 1 to Be Enlarged Deducting the 80 per cent quota from the total number of class 1 men avail able in the atate, Oregon "will have, when the last call under the second quota is made. 230 men in class 1. To this num ber many hundreds will be added on June 5, when the registration of all who have reached 21 years of age since June 5, 1917, are required to register. Further additions of an important na ture are contemplated by the provost marshal general, who has transmitted to Captain Cullison, through the gov ernor, the following statement: "This office contemplates the enlarge ment of class 1 by additions and correc tions. It la proposed to institute a na tlon-wlde campaign to bring those boards which have reported an abnor mally low and unexplained percentage strength of class 1 up' to the national average.

May $L U. P.) Ths Ger man drive in the Alans region is bow centered in an effort to reach the Marne riven it Is indicated in the night official statements. t Checked on the wings, the enemy is striving desperately to push, the. allies back in the center, where strong French reserves are being concentrated. The Germans are now within six miles of the famous river, perhaps nearer. The French communique admitted the loss of Free-en-Tardenola and Vesllty. The former is eight miles from the river and the latter six. "To- the south of Fere-en-Tardenois we are. fighting our; way toward the Marne," the German war office de clared. . Just how far south of Fere-en-Tar denois the enemy has progressed was re vealed in neither the French nor Ger man statements. The Berlin communique claimed a to tal of 35,000 prisoners taken in the pres ent phase of the offensive, together with a large amount of material, including ammunition, provisions, railway trains and an aerodrome full of airplanes. On the right flanks, the Germans now occupy, a Neuvillette and Betheny, north of Rhelms, ' and have thrown a semi-circle about that, city, being within two miles on the east, north and west. On the left wing the French still claimed to hold the western outskirts of Solssons, although the Germans pushed forward about a mile and a half north of that city, straightening the line so it runs straight north and south be tween Coucy-le-Chateau and Solsaona. The Alans battlefront now apparently stretches from Coucy-le-Chateau south ward through Juvlgny and Solssons to Hartennes, southeastward through Beugneux to Fere-en-Tardenois, east ward to Vesllly, northeastward to Brouillet, eastward to Thillois, north eastward through Champlgny to La Neuvillette and eastward to Betheney.

(U. P.) The Ger mans, by an attack in the Allette river region, between Coucy-le-Chateu and the Oise river, have definitely consoli dated the Aisne and Picardy battle- fronts, according to the French war of fice announcement today. (Seemingly this is an effort to drive toward the Oise, to the westward, in an effort to flank the allied forces below Noyon on the southern portion of the Picardy front) , Before this attack the French have withdrawn from Blerancourt and Epag- ny, fighting stubbornly. (Epagny Is six miles northwest of Solssons. Blerancourt is five miles northwest of Epagny and about eight miles southeast of Noyon.) In the center the Germans have ad vanced slightly toward the Marne. On the left the French are still hold ing the western outskirts of Solssons. On the right a French counter attack captured Thillois, two miles and a halt west of Rhelms. "The Germans prolonged their efforts toward the Oise by violent attacks in the Allette region," the statement said. "The French withdrew, fighting, north of Blerancourt and epagny.
