During the past week not withstanding intense fighting and great losses on both sides the Huns have made but little progress, several towns originally taken having been n.a. Tho r,orman losses are re ported to have been approximately 300,000. Gen. Foch, one of the French heroes of the Maine, has been placed ciirvrpmp command of the allied armies on the western front.

The Provost Marsiial General has or dered that "men actively, completely, and assiduously engaged in the plant ing or cultivating of a crop, but who are listed in Class 1 and within the new quota, should be deferred until the end of the new quota." The local draft boards, being judicial bodies, can not defer the call of such men, however, unless the farmers em ..l.e ino- i hem romiilv w ith the law and x-upport their claims for di fcrr'-d ca b;., ing with affidavits. It is therefore ol : . vital importance that farmers employ- r ing necissary men ' bin the new r: quota immediately cute and lilc such affidavits wilh the local boards. J b' If farmers whose hands are affected ' c hv this new call fail to follow this ad-in vie, they will have no cause for com plaint if their men are taken from them at this critical t;mc.
