WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. EGISTRATION on Saturday, Aug. 24, of all youths who have reached the age of 21 since the second registration last June 5, was ordered today by Provost Marshal General Crow- der, under a proclamation by the President. The purpose is to add quickly to the almost exhausted class 1 to meet army draft calls in September. About 150,000 young men will register. Most of them will qual- ify for class 1, and therefore will join the army probably with- in a month after their names are recorded. Only men in the armed serv- ice are exempted from registra- tion. It was pointed registration would be entirely distinct from the _ registration that will be necessary shortly when the draft ages are extend- ed, and it also was announced that the suggested date, Sept. 5, would not be the day for the registration of men from 18 to 45, even if Congress passes the bill in time, because several of the largest states hold primary elections on that date. The Provost Marshal has no intention, it was said, of creat- ing registration dates for men reaching 21 throughout the year, but the present registration was made necessary by the approach- ing deficiency of man power. out that this Chairman Spencer of the §8&t. Louis District Appealy Board thinks from 1100 to 1500 men will be registered Aug. 24. Reg- istrations will be held at each of the 28 ward boards in the city. JOSEPH PULITZER JR.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. journals in the Rhine country discuss the war situation in a grave tone. “Foch and Haig probably will con- tinue attacking on the Somme, but they will never achieve more than pyrrhic victories which will assist in the attrition of their own forces,” says Baron von Des Osten, military critic of the Rhenisch Westfalische Zeitung of Essen.

Suddenly he lurched into a loop- the-loop, the fusilage of his machine flashing brightly in the sun as he hung for a second at the apex of the loop. Then he sailed away grace- fully to more play.

GENEVA, Aug. 14.—Details re- ceived here concerning the recent British aerial bombardment of Karls- , ruhe say the northern:-portion of the Station was seriously damaged, as was also the arsenal. One bomb ex- ploded on the wing of the palace of the Grand Duchess Sophie, killing or injuring several visitors and servants. A second bomb fell near a cannon factory, which, however, escaped damage. A third bomb smashed the windows of the principal church of the city. At the time the church was filled with worshippers who fled in panic. The Germans admit that 11 per- sons were killed and 26 injured. Up to the present no train from Karls- ruhe has arrived at Basel since the air raid.
