GAME OF WAR REQUIRES LIEN OF ALLTRflDES Civilians Will Be Assigned to Tasks Best Suited Their Experience.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Army of. fleer who will organize the national srmy divisions, (ice the task of making the best possible use of the men selected for military duty by the Jocal boards. They will come from all walks and conditions of life. Among them will be highly trained Individuals, specialists In particular lines and efficient mechanics. It is the intention of the ward department to get the maximum advantage for the nation out of each man's special qualifications, and his
previous occupation will be carefully
considered is assigning him to duty. Will List Men.
To accomplish this, it was pointed
out today, descriptive list of all draft
ed men will be made out aa soon as they reach the training camps. They
will contain an abstract of the life MS' tory of the soldier, showing what Decimations he hat been engaged in
- From these a preliminary classifies-
tlon can be made, subject always to
the orlmary necessity of organizing
great body of infantry for duty in the
trenches.
During the months of training at the cantonments it will be possible for
comnanv commanders to form est!
mates of the character and special
(juaiMcations of their men. Each in Hie Place.
A pr6cess of shifting and transfer
undoubtedly win ensue as inamauais -are sorted out One man will be assigned to transport trains because of his special knowledge of horses or mo.or trucks: another to hospital work Because of previous training in that
ine of work: another to aviation oe:auce he has worked with gas engines:
itlll another to the artillery because le shows special ability in that line or . aia civil occupation has trained his
eight and hands. ;
There is hardly a civil trade of oc .cupation that has not its counterpart in the army, from clerk to clergyman, and no effort will be spared to get the right man in the right place in the
new forces. . , Already officials are being besieged with requests from men already held , for military duty for assignment to particular arms of the service. Little can be done in that regard In advance . of actual mobilization of the forces; but It is hoped that the wishes of many of the men can be met at the camps.

First Nighters at Chautauqua Take in Sights and Changes
BY AN JOLD TIMER Last night was our first night out at Chautauqua. That is, it was the first for a year, for this is about the tenth tript that has been made to the park along about the middle of August. We had all the stuff ready Thursday
night,' and when we went to work Friday morhing it was all out on the front step waiting a call from a "liz-
zy" that did not come. Finally we
hailed a driver and one of the bunch stuck with hira until all Of the stuff had been collected from various parts of town, and hauled to the tent at Chautauqua.
Then we let him go, only to nna ait-
er he left that one of the cots was forgotten. Then came a half hour of telephoning and the final promise that the cot would be out that evening, it came alright, for Joe is a good deliv-eryman.
Can't Withstand Game. We started to put the stuff up in
the tent, about 2:30 o'clock but then
the noise of the ball game across the 6treet and the stuff was off. Four of us went to the game, and left the
cots piled In the middle of the floor,
the bed clothes on top or mat, ana trie "moon" hanging by one wire from the top of the tent

After the game, we came back and straightened things . around. About 6:30 o'clock the lights were turned on, and then the fun started. Everyone that passed the tent remarked about that moon. An it really Is a nice moon, the nicest thing about it being that it can be turned off at any time. Even moonlight is undesirable at times. Patsy on the Way. With "The Tent" straightened up. we started on the annual tour of inspection. We visited the grocery man, but he was peeved because he couldn't get any butter, or cheese or something, so we left. Patsy had not ar. rived last night so we didn't stop, but he had a couple of lonesome looking clerks sitting on a trunk under the tent, So he must be on his way. The next stop was at headquarters, but this was even a shorter visit than the one to the grocery for there were about nineteen hundred and twentyseven, approximately, persons, howling for their tent numbers, light bulbs and everything else that there was any chance of getting, ; and three well, known citizens were as cross as the proverbial bear. Try New Fountains. From the headquarters tent, the inspection tour took us to the big tent and after barking about nine shins against seats stuck around where we didn't think they were, we went out and got a drink of water from the new fountains. From there we roamed up into one corner, and our conversation was checked by a loud "sh-sh." We looked around and there was Paul Beckett telling us in a loud stage whisper not to "wake his little exemption," the exemption snoozing in a large basket in the corner tent We whispered for a minute and then left on tip toes, making nary a sound that might frighten "Miss Beckett." We saw. a lot of our old friends on the return trip, and everyone seemed contented. Forgets Blanket Practice. After 10 o'clock we started, ;just

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE. Aug. 18. (By Canadian Press Ltd.) The Germans are now fighting with great tenacity to maintain their precious gold on the central portion of Lens. Throughout the day they have been bringing up fresh troops with which to carry on counterattacks. The original German forces which met our assault was pretty well accounted for by the attacking forces. It consisted of two battalions of the 165th regiment two of the twentysixth, two of the 156th and one Of the 293rd. German regiments, consist of three battalions each and after the battalions of the first mentioned reel-
jnents holding the trenches had been
put out of action, the reserve battalions were moved up hurriedly. At 9 o'clock, while headed toward hill seventy, these battalions were caught under our artillery fire and dispersed. The enemy leaders next called upon the fourth guard division, which had been held on this section of the line for such an emergency as that which confronted the defenders of Lens. The guards proceeded toward Boisshugo with the evident intention of retaking Hill 70.- They, too, were caught un-J der our artillery and machine gun barrage and sb roughly handled that two attempts to advance, one at 11:50 o'clock and the second shortly afterwards had to be abandoned. i Hill 70 was not even seriously me. naced during the remainder of the day. ' A short way to the north between St Laurent and Lens, the enemy recovered a portion of a line of reserve trench.
