Concerned -at the' -grOat dumber of
those attempting to avoid service, th
provost marshal general's- off ice today
announced that exemptions in agricul
ture and other -industries -will -be care
fully scutinized. --
"As a direct slap at "marriage slack
ors" the government will automatically
appeal from every exemption on tho
ground of dependency.
Tho purpose of tho appeal is to obtain
nation-wide uniformity in exempting
rulings, which is regarded as otherwise
impossible from 4,557 boards.
, All registrants arc invited by Gen
eral Crowder to report any improper
exemptions.
Discussing industrial exemptions,
General Crowder said district boards
were "powerless to relieve cases in
which private loss and hardship rather
than a national necessity" are at
stake. . i
The Rule to Judge by.
"Otherwise, another man Vould be
asked to offer his life in order that this
man's material benefit be served, ". said
Crowder. - - -
The problem of exempting men in
agricultural and other industries, Gen
eral Crowder said, must be solved
"with success of tho nation's military
opjerations in tuiud as the dominant
object.'! . '
As conservation of certain industries
is necessary to military success, Crow
der declared, the question in an indi-1
vidual case then becomes two fold.
"1 Is the industry in question ne
cessary to the .maintenance of the mil-,
itary establishment or the effection op-1

Home, Aug 2. Italy is just now ap
proaching the climax of her power iu
the great war. Twelve months have wit
nessed consolidation of the Italian was
machine, brilliant advances on all the
fronts where Italian soldiers face the
foe and fullest, utilization of the Ital
ian navy's power in the Mediterran

muddled political situation has appar

overwhelming vote of confidence in the

Most recent of Italy's achievements
were the two offensives in the Cm-so
and the Trentino.
Gorizia fell just a year ago and then
Italy turned her eyes toward Laibach
and Trieste. But winter gripped the
fighters before plans materialized. Juet
before nature intervened to stop the
fighting the Italians (in September)
conquered the heights of Comnngno in
the Adige Valley, and consolidated and
widened their positions on the Pasu
bio. This spring on May 6, General Cador
na began where he had left off last fall
but this time with more powerful of
fensive arms in men, guns and mu
nitions. The whole left bank of the
river and almost the entire rocky pla
teau north of Gorizia fell to their
arms. Between Caataguavizzia and east
of Jamiano they pressed forward. The
lower slopes of Mount Hcrmada, the
guardian of Triests were conquered.

'My girls had been divided before
the battle. One half remained a unit

But while Italy has been advancing
into Austria, she has been compelled
gradually to abandon the hinterland of
Tripolitania. Hostile Arab tribes in the
interior, backed with German-Turkish
money forced the retirement of the Ital

These achievements have cost Italy

PERSBIliSPKIS
AND INSTRUCTS BOYS
Illustrates With Cane, Use of
" Bayonet Puts Snap In
the Drill
By J. W. Pegler! '
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
With Tho American Expeditionary
Army, Aug. 2. With the momory of
thoir own commander in chief person
ally Bhowin 'em how it was done with
a cane, Pershing's Bantmieg went - at
bayonet practice today with an irresis
tablo vim. ,
Every man in camp "speeded up".
Very few there were who did not hear
the general's reiteratd phrass during
yesterday's day-long inspection "hur
ry upl More enap!" and did not heed
them today. ,
Major General Pershing frequently
voiced open criticism of ' unsoldierly
bearing of those in his ranks. The fact
that French officers were inspecting
with him did not make him hesitate to
single out individuals for rebuke. On
oho occasion he waited to see a sergeant
put a squad through the present, the
port and right shoulder arms and then
took matters into his own hands sharp
ly admonishing some of the Sammies
for inattention and gum-chewing. He
called a dozen from the ranks of ano
ther sloppy drilling detactonient to make
them stand at attention for five min
utes. Not even some officers escaped cri
ticism. In tho fac simile trenches training
camp the general demonstrated with
his cane just how tho British Tommies
thrusts to kill and went through all
the jabs, even showing how to pry
bayonet loose from a fallen opponent.
He also watched the strenuous train
ing of rookies as they charged straw
stuffed effigies representing the ene
my. Pershing found the billets of his
troops in a dozen different towns in
generally spick and span condition anil
once he remarked, apparently hungrily,
over the odor of peach pie.
It was learned a number of American
officers recently witnessed tho fashion
in which enemy aeroplanes were driven
off by "Archies" and were much im
pressed thereby; In camp tha Sammies
are disdainful of raiders,
