of draft age. physically and mentally
fit fof military service. These men are
tot addition to the 7tT supplied to the
ranks of the national army by the first
naft call In "this state, and In addition
to the 8881 who have been inducted since
the first call. ..--.!
1881 From City and Coanty .
TWtia-iii and Multnomah county, with
Jl separate exemption boards, la to fur
niah n total of1391 men under the see
oral gross quota. Aside from Multno
mah county. 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. The steps to produce such a
result are aa follows : . y

Germans Claim 35,000 Prisoners
London. 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.
On the' Flanders front the French Im
proved their positions east of Dlcke-
busch Lake by a local operation last
night Klsewhere the British and French
fronts were .quiet
Germans Make Westward Thrust
Paris, May 31. (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.
"In the neighborhood of Solssons and
farther south. German attacks! were
broken by the French resist anc. The

"In the center the Germans made

"Further to the east northwest and
north of Rhelms all German efforts

counter attack retook Thillois.'
