WASHINGTON Oct 18 —Classification by local boards of men of the new draft regulations has been so .Sapid that questionnaires soon will be sent to youths of 18 and men between 37 and 46 years of age. Though required to register on September 12, no action has been taken as to these classes because of the intention to defer calling them for service until all other avnilable material had been exhausted and local boards were ordered not to s^nd them questionnaires. With their enrollment the work described by Pro,Vost Marshal Gen. Crowder as the "classification of the United States" be completci.-

Reports today sftOTrefl Hhat 855 Toral boards out of 4,543 in the United States had classified all registrants s between 19 and 37.

Influenza epidemic conditions are such in the opinion of the general staff as to continue the Indefinite suspension of the October draft calls, but it Is Intimated that the next call will be Of unusually large proportions. Under tiew regulations governing the classification of registrants with physical defects men fit for general service are to be noted as class A men, while men lit for such service If cured by operation or other treatment are to be noted as class B.

There's Only One Genuine "CornPeeler'—That's "Gets-It."

Ever peel a banana? That's the way "Gets-It" peels off corns. It's the only corn treatment that will. "Gets-It" is ^guarantee that you won't finally have

N* More EXCMM fat Cora* or COM-P«iaa Now! to gouge, "pick, jerk or cut out your corns. If you want the pleasure of getting rid of a corn, be sure to get "Gets-It." It is its wonderful formula that has made "Gets-It" the corn marvel that it is, used by more millions than any other corn treatment On earth. A few drops on any corn or callus, that's, all. It can't stick. It is painless, eases pain. You can kick your "corny" feet around, even in tftarht slices, and your corns won't crucify you. You can go ahead and work,! dance, live, love and laugh as though without corns. "Gets-It," the 'guaranteed, moneyback corn-remover, the only sure way costs but a trifle at any drug store.

WITH THT3 AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Monday, Oct. 14.— (By the Associated Press.)— From east of the Meuse to the vicinity of Grand Pre, American forces chopped a series of fresh notches in the German line today. They kept up their swinging blows at the enemy from early this morning until late this afternoon.

While the Germans resisted with grim determination, their decision to hold till the last the portion of the line before the Americans, may open the way to swift dipaster.

Although the action extended to the eastward banks of the Meuse the most savage fighting took place about Romagne and to the westward, where the enemy is striving to maintain that section of the Kriemhild line running northwestardly from Romagne. The battle has been In and over the wire entanglements before this defensive position and the excellent natural fortifications along which the present line of resistance is laid.

New Divisions Brought ftt. Hanging on the wire tonight are Germans whose equipment bears evidence that another fresh division has been brought up to meet the steady pressure of the Americans. There was some artillery preparation for the American attack but it was not much heavier than that offered by the Germans in along their wires defense until late in the day when there was a slight falling oft in the volume of fire.

Huns Ask Concession

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 15.—The German government has proposed to France that in common with her allies, France undertake, to refrain from bombarding the largo towns of northern France and enter into an agreement with Germany to permit at any rate a portion of the population of Valenciennes to pass into the French lines, says an official statement from Berlin.

The Berlin government in making this proposal represented itself as unable to prevent the eastward flight of the population of Valenciennes, owing to their fears that the allies' would bombard the. town. The proposal was nxidu though 'he^ S»isj| spvernm«.nt.

They contributed somewhat to the success of the advance notwithstanding the low viability. •Flying low above the Germans lines they launched heavy gusts of machine gun fire on the forces north of the tangled wire defenses.

ALLIES TAKE ROULERS.

FlrtC Important Belgian Town Lost By Germans. PARIS, Oct. 15.—Roulers has been taken by the allies. This city, which before the war numbered 25,000 inhabitants, is the first important Belgian town from which the- Germans have been driven.

This morning, on the anniversary of fhe battle of* Jena, which was fought October 14, 1806, the battle flamed up along the Flanders front and the first, day's progress gives reason for high hopes. Under the command of King Albert, of Belgium, the British, Belgian an3 French armies attacked at 5:35 o'clock. There was no artillery preparation, but the troops advanced under oover of a creeping curtain of fire of extreme power. Following the gales which have been blowing for several days, the weather turned fine and the troops progressed.

Many machine gun nests were forced to surrender, and at 6 o'clock tonight the advance netted four miles in the direction of Couratai for the British four miles toward Thielt for the French, and two and a half miles in the direction of Thourot for the Belgians.

Honors To ^"rench.

To the French, in the center of the line, fell the honor of capturing the city of Roulers, and the plateau covering it.

Nearly ten thousand prisoners have already been counted and a large amount of material and many gan^s have been taken. entio batteries which were taken with 'the horses hitched to the guns. This shows that the methodical withdrawal of the Germans of which they will not fail to speak In reporting the' battle could not be accomplished.

At that tim$ there was a movement of artillery toward the rear of the German positions reported by aerial observers.

The artillery counter action was somewhat different than usual..On the least indication of movement behind the American lines the Germans laid down a barrage of such intensity as is ordinarily used only on preliminary to an offensive.

Not content with their artillery defense, the Germans made an extraordinarily liberal use of gas. Thousands of gai shells, both mustard arid lethal, were hurled into the rain saturated woods and ravines through which the Americans crept forward. Although the gas clunp to the ground Americans were not seriously hampered in their operations. Discipline and experience have taught tba value of gas masks.

The British navy and coast artillery did excellent work Jn co-operationi with the advancing infantry. The Germans did not leave Roulers without starting many flres.
