HEAVY LOSS Continued From Page One. they made a new thrust last night further west, near Froldmont farm, along the Cheniln-des-Dames plateau. The Paris report, shows this to have had some measure of success, the Crown Prince's troops forcing their way into some advanced1 trench positions. Germans Oppose British Move ' The British on their front, have not been so frequently counter-attacked, but whenever recently they had essayed an advance they have evidently found dense masses of Germans opposing them. Today's official British statement does not mention any further fighting in the vicinity of Lens and apparently General Haig has not pressed further the attempt to advarice made there yesterday which was checked by violent counter-attacks. ' ' In an independent operation further south, near Cherisy, the British last night recaptured the post taken from them by the Germans in an attack on Saturday night. The situation in Russia continues extremely uncertain. But better reports have come from the army of defense, Mlnistre of ' War Kerensky de: daring' if constantly incj-easing in . power, conditions in Petrograd are becoming still more unsettled.

Carry Liberty Bond in Your Pockety Luke McLuke Describes a Patriot

By LUKE McLUKE . You are trying to show your Patriotism by wearing an American B'lag on your coat lapel. But the real way to show your Patriotism is to wear a Liberty Bond in your coat pocket. The possession of even a $50 Liberty Bond is your certificate of Patriotism. It shows thai, you have done your shore to help your country at this time when your help is needed. Do you know that the sacrifice of a few cigars and drinks a day will make you the owner of a Liberty Bond? Would you be willing to put even a dollar a week into helping your country win this war? Any bank will arrange this for you. Remember that you are not giving your country anything. You are lending Uncle Sam our spare change, and he will repay you with interest. Why let your savings account slumber in a bank because you get 3 percent, interest? Invest it in Liberty Bonds and get 3 Per cent, interest. It is all very well to cheer and wave Old Glory, but your cheering and waving doesn't buy ammunition for Uncle Sam and doesn't arm and clothe our recruits. Every dollar that you put inMEXICANS ROB -BOAT GALVESTON. Tex-., June 4. The American fishing schooner Areas, was boarded by the crew of a Mexican gunboat of the coast of Tehuantepec, Mex.,' on the high seas May 31, and looted of. clothing, fishing gear and medicine chests.

THE STORY OF HALIFAX, THE SOLDIER TOWN

In these days when everybody talks recruiting", from Roosevelt to Biily Sunday, it's interesting to '. realize that not only are armies and navies and churches filled by discreet advertising, but there was once a town that was supplied with settlers in the same up to date way. . The traveller to Liverpool saves a whole day by poing to Halifax ih- - stead of New A'ork. - Therefore the v tidy little capital ot.'Zova Scotia is ' an asset in war time, considering the way the U-boats. sing th Hymn of Hate. Considering also that Canada i is supplying 500,000 of the very best troops our Allies have. And. Halifax was the town that was recruited. - ; This -is the , story. The Earl of Halifax, head of the Lords Commissioners of Trade and Commerce in 1749, received a request from Boston that a fortified settlement be placed somewhere between it and the French at Quebec who had an uhccmfortablo habit of raiding southward. - ' 7

CITY OFFICIALS WHY BONDS

Refusal to take up certain public Improvement bonds maturing June 1, because of a ruling of the state board of accounts, has' been responsible for the circulation of a report that the city Is bankrupt and has repudiated its oredlt...... - ..... . This report was vigorously denied by city and county officials today and an explanation was advanced showing that the city had no other recourse than to act as it did. . Recently the state board of accounts ruled that in the event no funds were available In the special public Improvement fund of the municipality to meet, interest on any public improvement bond issjie whenever payment was" due, or to retire such bond issues on maturity, then settlement must be withheld until the collection of the delinquency had been made and paid into the special improvement fund. Has Drawn on General Fund Hitherto it has been customary for the city to meet interest on such bonds, or to retire them on maturity, by making up existing deficiencies out of the general fund. The state board of accounts flatly refuses to permit the city to do this any longer. "Under the order of the state board of accounts a hardship Is worked against the city," said City Clerk Bescher today. "The bonds have already been issued against the benefited properties but the city has always stood back of such bonds. Under the account board's ruling bond holders must foreclose liens ah delinquent properties to collect such delinquencies before interest is collected or payments ads iced at the maturity of bonds. This is a cumbersome method for the bondholders to pursue, and, in consequence, the marketable value of public improvement bonds will be reduced, making it difficult for the city to interest contractors in submitting bids on improvements. Proposes Remedy "I believe that to prevent such a situation arising the council' should make an appropriation to cover all bond issue delinquencies, protecting the bondholders, the city then recovering the amount of such delinquen YOUNG MEN Continued From Page One. war Wayne county will tomorrow offer its young men to the service of the republic.

cies by proceeding against delinquent properties."" Under a former city administration a deficiency of $28,000 in the special improvement fund was caused, for two reasons", which deficiency the city eventually had to make good. It was the practice If a property owner waivered on an Improvement, assuming the privilege of taking ten years to pay off his assessment, but later, before the expiration of the waiver, paid off his assessment in full, to turn such payments irto the general fund instead of placing the payment to the credit of the' Improvement bond issue in question; and it was also a custom to make up all delinquencies out of the general fund. It was only natural that a large deficiency arose. MEN OF NATION Continued From Page One. the act making it a penal offense to fail to come forward at the call of the nation. All indications point to an impressive revelation of the determination of the nation to go through to victory with the war on the Prussian autocracy and to a manifestation of patriotism the like of which has not been elicited since the days of the civil war. Read, Then Act! The final directions of the government issued on the eve of registration are: . "All male persons, citizens or aliens, between the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, must register." "Exceptions are members of any duly organized force, military or naval, subject to be called, ordered, or draft ed in a military or naval service of the United States, v including all officers and enlisted men of the regular army, the regular army reserve, officers' reserve corps, enlisted men reserve corps, national guard, national reserve, recognized by militia bureau, the navy, the marine corps, coast guard, naval militia, naval reserve force, marine corps reserve, and national naval volunteers recognized by the navy department. ...

"If he is sick he should send a competent friend. The clerk may deputize the friend to prepare the card. Data on Exemption. ' "The question, 'Do you claim exemption from draft (specify grounds) 'need not -be answered. The answer 'Yes to this question does not exempt from the draft and the answer 'No' is no bar to make a claim for exemption later. "The determination of whether a particular claim for exemption, exclusion, or discharge from the draft shall be granted will be made by boards to be appointed by the president. These boards will function under the law and under regulations prescribed by the president. The only regulations that have as yet been prescribed are those governing the registration alone. The determination of exemption, exclusion, and. discharges is a second step quite separate from the registration.

GILES' ACTION Continued From Page One. v indicative of the storm of protest that is gathering in Richmond against the administration of the schools by the Giles" regime. Fuel was added to the situation by the manner in which two high school boys were kept from ' graduating in the eleventh hour. This was accepted as an indication of lax methods and of the necessity of a house cleaning in high places. Giles Is Unpopular Giles has been on the firing line ever since he espoused the tactics of John Melpolder, paid agent of public philanthropy in Richmond, when he opposed 'penny lunches in the "Whitwater schools last winter. Citizens believe that the usefulness of Giles as head of the school system is at an end, and that the school board ought to dismiss him at once. It is felt that the whole school system has been brought into disrepute by his action In dismissing Ramsey. More than 200 persons have already signed the petition asking for the reinstatement of Mr. Ramsey and as yet no house to house canvass of the district has been made. No one has refused to sign the petition and in several instances persons sought out holders of the petition and asked that their name be added to the list. Among the signers of the petition was one of the boys who attended Whitewater school who declared that although he had recently been punished by Mr. Ramsey, "he was for him, and wanted to sign the petition." "The presence of Mr. Ramsey in the north end is necessary, and every effort will be made to have him reinstated," said Mrs. Propst. AH!
