TION BOARDS MADE POSSIBLE Procedure Stripped of Al 1 "Red Tape" Those Who Failed to Reg ister Are Being Run Down. Washington, July 30. Prompt and efficient work by district exemption boards is expected by government of ficials as a result of stripping all red tape from the procedure of the trl bunals. President Wilson's execu tive order outlining the principles to govern exemptions, coupled with in structions to the boards from Provost Marshal General Crowder are regard ed here as setting in motion the last phase of the selection process with a minimum of confusion and delay. The object of the instructions is to impress the boards with the view that their primary purpose Is to se lect the personnel for the national army iu the shortest possible time To that end they have been Inform ed that no legal precedents bind them, and that there need be no ad herence to rules of evidence or oth er technicalities of court procedure. Attorney General Gregory set in !ii.;io;i Uid.;y further machinery to Increase the size of the registration reset voir from which the C8 7.UUU men of the first call are to be drawn. Thiiu-ands of. men failed to register for one cause of another. Through the district attorneys, the department of justice is rounding up thee men and when found they will be assign ed numbers which will insure their being called up tor examination at an early date. The first reports of the local hoards London Casualties From Raids By tiermans. London. July SO. Since the begin ning of hostilities 366 persons hav been killed and 1,092 injured by air raids in the London metropolitan area according to a statement made by Sir George Cave, the home sec retary, in the house of commons. During the same period the secretary noted, 2,412 persons were killed and 7,863 injured in ordinary street ac cidents in the same territory. ' Attorney (ienerol Orders Arrest of Kvery Kligible M m Who Failed to Register Will I'M Them in Jail. Washington. July 3D. Prompt ar prehension of "thousands of diafted men who have escaped detection and prosecution for failure to register" was ordered by the department of justice today. Formal notices were sent to all United States attorneys. iThe order was is: tied by Attorney General Gregory. "From teports re- ceived July 16," s iid Gregory today. J "it appears that thousand of chn ,scriptable men did not recister and 'have so far escaped detection. The importance of this i. tetter in the gov ernment is such that a prompt, thor ough, and country-wide search for tli-se persons, followed by a vigorous criminal prosecufon cf all who are apprehended must be made bv this department. "When captured, these draft evad ers will be registered by their local boards and assirned numbers. They will then be set t to the call for the first army Just as though they had registered in the first place." Gregory instructed tlie Unidd States attorneys throughout the country to enlist the aid of the local police and other local organizations in the search for unregistered men. "When it is dls'.o.veivd that a per son ha not registered," Gregory said, "proceed to register him and insti tute criminal proceedings against him regardless of rcasf-ns for failure to register for the draft, unless the cir cumstances were beyond control of individual, such as being at sea cn registration day. "Pending physical examination of the man hold him in Jail, or under the highest possible bond until Judg ment is rendered against him by the cournt, or he is drafted into the na tional army."

He 1- ft the south side, and was crossing the track to speak to Mr. Harkey whtn he was struck. There is an embankment on t'u south id- of the track, and Mr. Thompson stated that he saw Mr. Rawlings run down it in a'drawed up position like any person assumes in going down hill. When Mr. Rawlings reached the track, Mr. Thompson went on to say, he straightened up.

The average of rejections on physi cal grounds in regular army recruit ing has been far higher, but condi tions are entirely different with the selective draft forces. In many districts where examina tions are proceeding a large number of men have asked for affidavit blanks on which to submit applica tions for exemption becauso of depen dent families. However, each case must be considered on its merits. By executive order President Wil son has prohibited the existence of disorderly resorts or saloons within five miles of any military camp. Any town within such radius licensing saloons would not be affected, but no saloon may be within a half mile of the camp. Private persons living within fire miles of such a camp may have liquors in their possession for personal use but may not give them to any trooper. More Than 70,000 Applications Ke- ceived. ; Washington, July 30. For- the 16,000 places in the second officers training camps to open August 27, a total of 72,914 men have applied and the war department is considering ac cepting several thousand more i than was originally intended. Preliminary examinations given the applicants by civilian physicians indicate that 51,- 838 are physically satisfactory.. In most states, the number of ap plicants is from three to five times the state's quota. !. . 1 Most Severe Heat Wave Kpredsitoyer 1 i ouniry hjuh i Washington. July 30 The sum mer's most extensive heat wave over spread almost the entire country east of the Rockies today, causing severe suffering in the cities, scores of heat prostrations and a few deaths. Little relief is promised before late in the week except for local areas. No gen eral rains to cool the super-heated at mosphere were in sight on the weath er map tonight. Official reports to the weather bureau today showed 105 degrees at Concordia, Kan., the hot test spot on the map; 104 at Omaha; 100 at Albany, N. Y.; ninety-eight at Chicago and Boston; ninety-six at Philadelphia, Washington and Baltl more, and temperatures almost as high in many ether cities. Only In the northwest, the northern lake re gions of Maine did the heat show signs of moderating today. Superior Court Vrweeding-.

At the last term of court Judge Webb instructed Clerk of Court Lenimond to report to this tertu of court as to whether or not the commissioners had carried out the last recommendations of the grand Jury as to the court house, and he (Judge Webb) would request that they be Indicted.

Apparently the turn in the tide of retreat by the Russians in East Gali- cia is beginning. On several sectors the loyal troops have halted and now are facing the Austro-Germans and offering resistance as best they can with their badly depleted forces. Although the stands they have made have as yet been unsuccessful In holding back to any great extent the numerically superior Austro-Ger- man armies, they cerve to show that the spirit of loyalty is still alive in many of the men of" General Kornl- loff's contingents, and that it is not their purpose to surrender further territory without a contest. One of the main attempts of the Russians to hold back the enemy has been on the heights east cf the river Zbrocz, which flows along the border between Galicia and Russia, but de spite the resistance offered they have been compelled by overwhelming numbrs to cede c'und to the Austro-Germans who crossed the stream. The Teutons also have crossed the Galician frontier and now are invad ing Buckwina by way of the Suchawa valley, their immediate objective be ing the town of Seletyn, whiie the force that recenty was successful in its operations against the Russians in the region of Kirlibaba has reach ed the territory lyint, to the east of the upper Moldava valley. Notwithstanding the activity of Russian spies who are trying to create disaffection in the Rumanian army, the Rumanians and-Russians fighting near the northwestern bor der of Rumania, continue to press forward in the Casln ami Putna val leys, having captured six additional villages and added materially to the number of men made prisoner and guns captured. Filly oi' tlie German spies, disguised ;ls Russian soldi" rs. are reported to have been caught and shot. There has been a considerable f.dlirg off in the Intensely of the British aiiiiieiv on the Flanders front due. j;.-. ,m ..i;i;; to Berlin, to "the paralyzing effect of or.r oh'on.-ive activity." Here tlie Germans arc said to have (onccnt'v.ted the great est number of guns that they ever have massed on any one sector, and are using them to their full capacity, evidently in an endeavor to ward oil" any contemplated infantry attack by Field Marshal Haig's lotcoi. It cannot be said, however, even with the diminution of the Intensity of the British fire, that the artillery duel has fallen much below the stage of extreme violence, for all along the front, from the coastal region south ward, the big guns continm o roar and hurl tons upon tons of stec. in re ciprocal bombardments. Aside from the eastern front, no military operations of importance arc in progress, except on the line where th,e French are facing the Germans in the Alsne region of France. The army of the crown prince has made several more Ineffectual attempts to smptlse General Petain's forces here, while Berlin reports the repulse of French attacks, several time:, repeated, on the line from Cerny to Wintoiherg and couth of Alles.
