Ganeva, Friday, Sept. 20. "The bombardment of Metz by American heavy artillery caused surprise but no panic." says the Metzer Zeitung. "The enemy merely copied the meth od of the German bombardment of Paris. The paper adds that a few persons were killed and the damage was insignificant." It was learned from Basel, how ever, that the American bombardment of Metz caused sensations in Ger many. It was the first time since 1S70 that Metz has been under fire. The civil population is fleeing. 1 A is b exten.l ctrian becomes AMifor.rU viila :v:.: many v.urr.'.'cr of pr'.s .i to thrf .:! 0 al- nuh.r.T.t rcsUt . tiat r..ti there is tho enemy irt tar.d.

The new edition containing re drafts of that provision under the new manpower law is issued as r. guide to all draft boards designed to facilitate their work, as well as .provision to make the wider exempt ion allowances workable. Orders were issued today by the provst marshal general to draft boards to cease accepting cards of be lated registrants on Monday thus allowing the attaching of serial numbers to the registration to be completed. The date for the order of drnwing can thus be fixed by Gen eral Crowder next week. I) 1 MONITOR A.o:'a;eI IJres.. ; S ; 21.

Just what the county will be expected to raise has not been stated, but in any event, Catawba people will want to go over the top, and will go over, as Chairman Elliott says. Hickory people already are prepar ing to take bonds and it is not be lieved the patriotic people here and in the rest of the county will be long in doing their part. The meeting at Newton Monday should be largely attended and ev erybody who can attend should be present. The amount of the loan probably will be twice that of the third, and double effort will be re quired to put it across.

Washington, Sept. 21. Embarka tion of American soldiers for all fronts overseas has now passed the 1,750.000 mark. General March an nounced today. lie said military news during the past week from all fronts had been continuously good. The Lorraine front, where Gener al Pershing's first American army has completed its operation to elimi nate the St. Mihiel salient, has be come stabilized with the enemy evi dently perfecting a new line in front of the Americans. This line stretches twenty miles from Maiser ay to the Moselle at Vandieres. The Americans now are 10 miles from Metz and an equal distance from Conflans. WRITES FROM FRANCE Private Otis C. Lael, Co. I, 324 infantry, has just arrived in France, or rather has been there long en ough to write a letter, which was dated August 25, and received by his mother, Mrs. Mary G. Lael, this week. France suits Otis all right, but the language the people speak is a lit tle difficult, he is bound to admit. He is stationed far to the rear, but hears good news from the front, and doubts if he will ever have a shot at the enemy. He was well, happy and observing wjlth his eyes wide open, and is not overlooking any of the fine country.

The chief reason for this is that all the German graves have been surmounted by elaborate marble or granite headstones, bearing eulo gistic inscriptions converning the he roic deaths of the invaders. There are some 300 German graves here and only a few have wooden crosses.
