By CLINTON W. GILBERT Staff CArrcsvondcitt Evnitno rubltc Lrdocr Washington, Sept. 5. With the registration of the men from 18 to 4!i, the War- Department will begin a race against time to have enough of the new men classified so that there will not bo a shortage of men to keep up the supply sent to camp In October. General Crowder. tho Provost Marshal General, today give out a statement as to tho steps to be taken to expedite tho process of getting men ready for the call to colors, so that It will be much faster this time than in 1917. Processes which then, took one month are now allowed only four or five days. Some of the processes which then took placo successively are to go on simultaneously. The co-operation of the tegistrants themselves In mak ing up questionnaires is solicited. And the newspapers of the country are In vited to form public opinion in favor ot speeding up this draft. Sliortago of Men Feared As it ls the best-informed believe that theie will bo shortage of men for tho camps In October. The War De partment will want to call about 260,- 000 In that montli, according to pres ent estimates, it win have about iiv, 000 men available, left over frbni -the August registration An effort' will be -mado tO(havo(-8omeiofctne,rrBfi!Bris- trants classified and ready for call during October, but tho best opinion Is that it wijl be the first of Nowm ber before the new men can be called. And even that will bo a record for speed. The men to be called first are likely to be the younger men of the nineteen and twenty year old and of thirty-two to thirty-six years old. Tho reason for calling these men first Is that the process of classification will be much easier, esneciallv among the nineteen and twenty year men, for among these men questions of occupational exemp tion and dependency win do lew ana simpler. And In these nges the proc ess of selection will be more fruitful. Men may be more" promptly got. And speed is of tho essence of the problem. The country must have men, and have them quickly. Munt Act Quickly Tn tret them nulckly the War Depart ment Is counting upon the experience and greater skill of tho local boards, the Increased knowlcdgo of the whole draft process in the community, the more general acceptance of conscription, the enthusiasm or tho nation over ine war, and unoni tho very high efficiency of General Crowder's office. Unon that office an especial burden has been put by delay of Secretary Baker In reaching a decision to extend draft ages. Hadorlglnal proposal or the Senate to extend these ages, made In June, been occepted, on abundant supply of men would bo ready for call In October. As t Is now there Is a raqe against time" to avoid a deficiency. So great Is the reputation of the draft machinery for efficiency that It Is be lieved tSat General Crowder's schedule of sliced will be realized and the de ficiency for October will not exceed 80,- 000. By November that deficiency can be mado up. ' The older men will not know nhat the War Department means to do in their cases for some time. General Crowder expects that It will tako one hundred (lays to classify the thirteen million registrants between eighteen and forty-fle. And the older men,' because of the Industrial 'problem they present, will be classified last. Tho plans with regard to Industrial questions in their cases have not yet been made public Speeding Up Neceesery - The necessity of filling the October requisitions either in part or In whole out of the effectives to ,be obtained un der tno new ciasslncallon," General Crowder said, after explaining that a lew mass l men rrom me August z registration would be available to fill early October calls, "makes It neces sary to iook lorwarq to suDstantiai speeding up In the work of the local boards at that stage of the operation. and indeed, from the very beginning of the task. It is Imperative that the work of the boards proceed much fast er than a year ago. In every possible way steps will be taken-to make It pos sible for this speed to be attained. To accomplish this, General Crowder said, local boards are asked -to see that the return of the cards from registra tion Is as prompt as possible nnd there after that the process of assigning serial numbers to the cards Is hastened. Accomplishment of. this work inside of ten dais now is asked, tnough in lun It took nearly thirty days. It may be possible to hold the drawing on October 2. General Crowder explained, but It cannot be started until the lists of serial numbers have been completed by all boards.

RETREATING FOE FLOODS FLATS TO DELAY PURSUERS Damming of Streams Fails to Uieck riaigs Unrush- l ine Soldiers REACH CAMBRAI FIELD Take Villages Near Where Tide of Battle Surged Year Ago By PHILIP GIBBS Special Cable to Eienlng Public Ledger I'opyrlont. loin, bu Sew York Times Co. Willi tho British Army on the West ern Front, Sept. 5. Tho pursuit of the Germans on the very wido front nstiidc the Dapaumc- .Cambrai toad has necessarily become considerably slower. The British ad vance guards have leached tho lino ot the Canal du Noid in seveinl places. They found possible ctosslngs, but these are under the concentrated fire of many machine guns. The canal Is still only in course of construction south of the Arras Cambral road, which means that It is an unfinished ancj dry cutting. At best It can prove but a temporary de fensive lino, even If the enemy elects to-try to make a' stand there. He haH a strong belt 'of wire on tho line of Marcolng-Cambral, but airmen report that no trenches Have beAi dug be hind this. I The floods caused by the damming of the Scnseo and the Trlnquls have increased over tho flat ground between and bejond Biuche-St. Vaast and Etaing and ngaln in the region of tho Nord VJanal, between Lambres and Estress, thereby restricting the Brit ish zone of movement directly (South of the Scarpe. As the course of nil tho streams In the Scarpe waterway Is eastward, tho enemy can continue to dam these as he withdraws 1 though the flat ground which would be affected thereby Is of comparatlv ely small extent, and one result would bo to1 Interfere seriously with his own water supply. Naval Tactics Win Prisoners Vho cuttlng-off tactics of tho naval lads, which I described yesterday, would appear to have been entirely successful, and a fine haul of prison ers was theirs. I cannot give tho figures of the captures by naval bat talions, but the total taken by the Thhd Army during tho course of the day was 1946. In addition, twenty two field guns were taken. The British have como against a strong redoubt, fashioned out of the ruins of Moeuvres and spreading over about a square mile of giound. Here n, veritable mesh-work of trenches twists and bends and writhes across1 and between the Hlndenburg main line and the Hlndenburg support line, but this stionghold loses much of its ter ror from the 'fact that the British are really behind tho Hlndenburg line north of Inchy-en-ArtoIs, and are therefore in a position to deal with It otherwise tlian by frontal attacks. In fact, I understand that tho British are already behind the village. It Is difficult, even from the state ments of prisoners, to figure the state or confusion and disorganization into which the enemy has been thrown during his retreat. His transporta tion, service appears to have gone to pieces, and the eager clamor of the prisoners for food and drink is pretty good evidence of the .privations which the withdrawing columns are suffer ing. Forty-six civilians, a majority of them women, have been rescued from Ecourt St. Qucntln. They were found when the British patrols entered the vlllago from Recourt. There were 200 persons living there until last Satur day, when a German officer went from house to house, ordering a general evacuation. The majority obeyed tho summons, and were conveyed In the direction of Cambrai, but those who reached the British lines hid in cellars and in the confusion managed to escape detection. People Hid Underground For six days and nights the entire population had been living under ground, fearing that the Allies would shell the village. .The Germans told them that the English would not spare their homes It the artillery can nearer. u'biik were provi I : .

The po sitions to tho east of Hermles,, near tho Canal du Nord, Just to the south, also have been Improved. Still further south tho British have captured the village of Neuvllle-Bourjouval, cast of the Canal du Nord. (Hermles is eleven miles southwest of Cambrai, and Neuvllle-Bourjouval one mile further south.) Smash Counter-Blows Tho British have smashed counter attacks in the Wytschactc region In Flanders and beaten back attacking forces near Inchy-cn-Artols on the Cambrai front. The Germans are still In retreat on a large part of tho 140-mile front from Ypres to Rhelms. The impoitant progress that the British have continued to make yes terday on their recent front exceeded popular expectation, in view of the arduous work that had been done oy tho advancing forces during the previous few days. And again today no surprise will be occasioned here if physical reasons should now compel some slackening of the high pressre, temporarily limiting tho British ad vance. By the Associated Press Willi the British Armies in France, Sept. B. South of the River Scarpe a Inrge portion of tho German lino Is being readjusted. Southeast of Moeuvies several thou sand yards of the old Hlndenburg front lines have been cleaned up and now are in possession of the British.

Tho War Offlco today announced that the Trench and American troops in the advance north of the Vesla have reached the crest of the ridge domlnat. ing the Aisno. The operation on the Veslo has been extended to the'eat and a crowing hat been effected be" tween Venteaux and Jonchery, a two and one-half mile front. A-dispatch from tho American front north of tho Vcsle today says: "The American forces following up the German retreat from tho Vesle moved steadily over theplateau be tween tho Vesle and the AJsne today and by noon their advanced elements had fllteied Into the slopes on the northern side of the plateau.
