"Members of these boards have
rendered a conspicuous service. The
work was done without regard to per
sonal inconvenience and under a pres
sure of immediate necessity which im
posed great sacrifices. Yet the serv
ices of men trained by the experience
of the first draft must of necessity
be retained and the selection boards
must provide the directing mdchan

thing .they have done is of scarcely
one-tenth the magnitude of the thing
that remains to be done. It is of great

the high water mark attained by every j our economic interests that the classi

appointment to the office of General
Maurice, director of military opera
tions of the imperial general staff.
None of us knew anything about the
progress of the battle, but as General
Maurice walked in, his brisk step, and
BtUl more his expansive smile, seemed
to augur good.
Jle took, from the hands of the
jurfior officer who walked behind him,
a gigantic map, which, with the help
of several eager hands, was spread
Out on the long table .before, him.
Across the map ran a winding, purple
line.
fap Shows Objectives.
"Gentlemen," General Maurice said,
"this is a map of the country east of
Ypres, where the British troops are
attacking the flower of ti e German
army. The purple tine, you see, run
ning across here, was drawn last night
at Sir Douglas llaig's headquarters.
It represented our objectives in the
attack today."
The general paused impressively,
while we held our breaths. His smile
broadened. I was reminded of the
cat that had eaten the canary. "That
' line at the present moment, eit'ht
hours after the commencement of the
action," he went on, "represents the
British bjttle front."
It was not the first time I had seen
that map under similar circumstances.
The purple line included the cross
roads at Broodseiii.le, that spot whose
capture was the climax of the long
series of operations that began with
the storming of the White Sheet rid'e
in June; Broodseinde, the crest of the
' Pesschendaele ridge, from whose bat
tered summit the Australian troops i
were able, at the hour the general was'
talking, to gase across th" flat plains
. of the promised land to the spires of
i Bruges, and the white roofs of Ostend
'glistening in the sunlight, the blue
J plain of the sea stretching beyond.
But behind the purple line on the
J maps were other lines; grean, yellow,
? and blue lines, each a little further
advanced than the one behind it, each
i pressing forward into the maze of red-
zigzags and splotches that Indicate the

!lIoM'S Were Jtcullzed.
Those other lines were drawn at
neneral headquarters before the pre
f vious great actions in this supreme
I campaign; they represented the hopes
ot the British staff as finally recorded
the nights before the attack on Mes
sines. the great offensive of July 31,
i the two onslaughts m August, ana tne
early September struggles known as
the Battle of the Menin Road and
the Battle of the Pillboxes.
The green line for the Menin road
fight, the yellow line for the Pillbox
battle, General Maurice had shown
us at the time. It -was not necessary
to alter them,' after the battles, to
show where the troops had failed to
take the objectives assigned them.
They took them all. In August, and
on July 31. Borne of the objectives
were not taken, and the map faith
fully records where the advances fell
short of the desired halting places.
The map, to me, has cne to have
a symbolical significance. These col
ored lines seem to surge 'forward
across the opposing red barriers with
rojnorseless and certain strength, and
to attempt to stop the next colored
line from Its appointed place beyond
the purple one drawn for the latest
battle seems as hopeless as to arrest
the advance of the tide.
Just as when the tide Is rising the
waves run up on the beach, each one
a little higher than Its predecessors,
staff, showing the objectives of each
attack made on the Somme. But that
map has not been shown to foreign
correspondents. Last year the cap
ture of all the assigned objectives of
a great attack, in the course of the
morning, was npt the rule. It hap
pened at Ginchy In September, but
that was an exception.
The difference between the lines on
that hypothetical ;niap, which I have
not seen, and those remorseless, re
lentless lines, each a little further up
the beach, on .the Flanders map,
which I have followed since returning
from the front in the middle of the
campaign, represent the progress
made by the British army in the art
of war during one year. Or, if the
Germans object to that statement, it
may be reversed. Iet us say that the
lines represent decline In the fighting
strength of the German army since
the summer of 191B. The first way of
milting it, I am certain, would be the
I fairest.
"Germans Are I,jlng."
, The lines on General Maurice's
map, as he shows them week after
week, prove one fact up to the hilt.
The Germans ure lying when they
persistently report after each offen
sive, that the British made trifling
gains of a kilometer or two "in the
crater field," but that they "failed to
take their objectives." The German
communique, on the day following the
great victory which secured for Eng
land observation over half of Bel
gium, referred with assumed scorn to
the enemy's "doubtless far distant ob
jectives," which he did not reach. My
little anecdote of. the scene In the war
otilce when General Maurice showed
us the purple line, before 3 o'clock
on the day of the attack, should af
ford a measure of the candor of Gen
eral Ludendorf's bulletins.

cations be carried swiftly and accur
ately to a conclusion. An estimate of
the time necessary for the work leads
to the conclusion' that it can be ac
complished in 60 dayR; but only if
this great marshalling of our re
sources of men is regarded by all as
a national war undertaking of such
significance as to challenge the at
tention and compel the assistance of
every American.
"1 call upon all citizens therefore to
assist local and district boards by
proffering such service and material
conveniences as they can offer and by
appearing before the boards, either
upon summons or upon their own Ini
tiative, to give such information as
will be useful in classifying regis
trants. I urge men of the legal pro
fession to offer themselves as asso
ciate members of the legal advisory
hoards to be provided in each com
munity to advise registrants of their
rights and obligations nnd of assist
ing them in the preparation of their
answers to the questions. I ask the
doctors of the country to identify
themselves with the medical advisory
boards to be constituted in the vni'U
ous districts for the purpose of mak
ing a systematic physical examination
of the registrants. It is important also
that police officials of every grade and
class should be informed of their duty
under the selective service law and
regulations, to search for persons who
do not respond promptly and to servo
summons of local and district
rds. Newspapers can be of very
groat assistance in giving wide pub
licity to the requirements of the law
and regulations and to the numbers
and names of those who are called to
present themselves to . their local
boards from day to day. Finally. I
ask that during the time hereafter
to be specified as marking the 0 day
period of the classification, all citi
zens give attention to the task In
hand In order that the process may
proceed to a conclusion with swift
ness and yet with even and consid
erate Justice to all."

A Word of Welcome.'
Rev. Dr. Byrd, the present pastor,
has issued the following statement:
"It af fordB the pastor and congre
gation of this church great pleasure
to welcome to our homes, to our
churches and to our city the Western
Nufrth "Carolina conference for the
fourth time since it was organized in
ISaO. During these twenty-seven
years the t inference has grown much,
and our city has greatly enlarged, but
we trust that Methodism has kept pace
with the growth of our population, for
Central church today is more than
twice as large In membership as It
was in 1891, and during thHt time
three or four other strong churches
have grown up In our midst. This is
the third time that the present pastor
has been the host of the conference in
this church--a rather unusual experi
ence, but one in which he takes great
delight. -
We have made the best provision
! possible for our guests and we expect
1 them to enjoy themselves In our
' mountain city and prove a great bless
ing to me. homes in which they lodge.
It is deeply desired by the pastor and
officials of the church that this con
ference shall be characterized by great
spirituality and genuine religious fer
vor both for preachers and people; to
this end the prayers of all our guests
are requested,
"We live at a juncture of the world's
history that calls for niuch prayer,
great self-denial and perfect depend
ence upon Jesus Christ, who is the
head over all things to the church.
"God is laying His chastening hand
upon the whole world. . Let us not
lose the significance of this chastise
ment, but let us as leaders of the
church hold up with unwavering fi
delity the banner of the cross and
cultivate with unwearing assiduity
that patriotism which is so close akin
to piety.
"It should be the purpose of all
who attend this conference that our
prayers and our preaching, as well as
our discussions of the great interests
of the church, be characterized by
that seriousness that is befitting a
season like this."

DF ESPIONAGE LAW
Authorities Given Wide
Powers to Protect Coun
try Against Spies In This
Country During War
By V. H. McGOWA.V.
Washington, Nov. 10. No greater
or graver problem ever faced the
federal jiuthorittes of the United
States than that which is facing them
now the enforcement of the recently
enacted espionage law. with Its deli
cate diplomatic features, and its ninny
law 'points of an international kind.
The very word "espionage" Immedi
ately raises in ic mind a question of
what this law Is, and what It purports
to do, casting aside the very general
Idea that it is something for the pro
tection of the people in the United
States from the spies who are among
us.
Foremost among those 'who were
vigilant in demanding that the last
session of congress pace the espionage
taw was Senator I). TJ. Fletcher, of
Florida, and it wan largely due to his
keen foresight that this most unu
sual of laws was framed and plncod
on the stntute books. Today when
Senator Fletcher was -asked to say
something about this law be pointed
significantly to Its important provis
ion? nnd said that in many respects
lie considered it without a parallel in
U e country's history.
As Indicating the misfortune that
may be In store for those who run
afoul of this law, it may be noted
that there are 18 sections.
Title I repeals all former acts and
defines new grades of espionage and
penalties for offenses.
Title 2, authorizes the Secretary of
the Treasury to make regulations for"
the movement and anchoruge of ves
sels In the territorial waters of the
United States and, if necessary, to
arrest such persons on hoard as In his
opinion may seem praper. This sec
tion also makes it unlawful for any
person wilfully to cause or permit the
destruction or Injury of a vesso) In
American waters, to permit the vessel
to be used by persons violating the
laws of the United States.
A fine of not more than $10,000 or
Imprisonment for not more than 10
years is provided for any attempt to
destroy by fire, or explosives articles
intended for exportation, or the placeN
where they may be stored while in
such foreign commerce.
The very important embargo provis- :
lon makes it clear that whenever dur
ing the present war the president Bhall
proclaim that the public safety so re
quires, it shall be unlawful to export
from tho United States to any country
named in his proclamation any article
mentioned therein, except at such
times and under such proclamations
as may be ordered by the president
or by congress. '
Disturbances within the Jurisdiction
of the United States, of foreign rela
tions by false statements, misrepre
sentatlons and conspiracy to injure or
destroy speclllc property situated
within a foreign country, or one of its
political subdivisions, with which the
country is" at peace, are strictly pro
hibited. The passport question, which It was
seen when this law was In the making,
Is given special attention, and there
Is a heavy penalty for false state
ments, forgeries and attempts to use
a passport Intended for the use of
another person.
While these matters are under con
sideration, It is alHo provided thut
searoh warrants may be liberally but
diplomatically used, when In the opin
ion of the government authorities
there is reason to believe that spies
are at work.
The United States malls, tinder this
law, are being most closnly watched.
The law declares non-mallabln every
publication of every kind which vio
lates any of tho provision of the act,
and every ptiblli-allon of any kind
containing any mutter advocutlng or
urging treason, IriMiirrncllon or forci
ble rcslstnncn to any Ihw of the United
States. Whoever Bttemtils to use the
mails of the United States for the
transmission of any tnsttur of this
kind shall be lined not more than
