FRENCH CAPTURE LASSIBNY HILLS ATTEm FIGHT New Hun Retreat in Picardy Be lieved Near. ENTIRE LINE IS PERILED Artillery of Allies Now Dominates Town and Roads Beyond—Haig Re ports Capture of 28,000 Pris oners and 600 Guns. London, Aug 14. —Since the allied offensive began on the Montdidier- Ainiens sector August 8 the total cap ture by the French First army and the British Fourth army have aggregrated 28,000 men and 600 guns, says Field Marshal Haig’s communication from headquarters. The communication adds that the day passed in compara tive quiet on the battle front. French Hold Heights of Lassigny. The Heights of Lassigny, the strong hold on which the left flank of the German armies in the Picardy fighting rested is in the hands of the French. The artillery of the allies now domi nates the town of Lassigny and the toads beyond. After stubborn fighting the French have repulsed a heavy Ger man counter-attack on Lassigny mas sif. It now seems inevitable that the Germans must again break into a re treat, or else hurl their dwindling re- j serves forward in an attempt to retake i the massif of Lassigny. Cleared From Heights. The French official communique re- ; veals that the enemy practically has | been cleared from this high ground, | since it is announced that the French have gained a footing in the park of Plessier de Roye, on the extreme northern end of the heights, and with in a mile of the town of Lassigny. Furthermore, more ground has been gained southeast of here, and a re newed advance undoubtedly will spell the doom of Noyon. Line May Crumble. In some quarters here it is expect ed the entire line of present enemy re sistance will crumble, now that the anchor, or picot point at Lassigny has been won by General Foch’s troops. Control Divette Valley. The French, by gaining control of the massif of Lassigny now command not only Lassigny but the valley of the Divette, as well as the entire district to the north. The capture of the massif must in evitably have the most serious effect on the German positions over a wide area, and this effect should begin to show within 48 hours. Expect Roye to Fall. In the opinion of experts here the evacuation of Roye may be expected within a day or two, for the town is now under a cross fire. The abandon ment of Roye by the Germans would also make Chaulnes difficult to hold. Thus recent history on the Marne is - counted upon to repeat itself on this new front. In the region of Des Loges, south of Roye, the French are consolidating itheir line. They hold the town, but have not yet regained the woods be yond. The French gains on the Lassigny massif already have forced the Ger mans to evacuate a long line of trenches in the valley of the Oise and j are calculated t< force further evacu ations almost immediately. Noyon will conn; under the fire of the French guns as soon as the artillery can be moved up. Then the road transports on the whole network of highways around Noyon will become a difficult problem for the Germans. The Germans have evacuated their •trendies iu the bend of the river west of BailJy and the French are occupy ing tin in. The move has been forced by French pressure in the valley of the Oise. First Phase of Battle Over. IVitli tlie French Army in France, Aug. 14.—The stabilization of the line on the old Roye-Lassigny front is con sidered as the closing feature of the first phase of the battle of the Avre. Tin second phase awaits only the ar rival of needed re-enforcements and material. Reports from aviators state that the disorder on all roads leading to the rear of the German front is indescribable. Every crossroad con stitutes an admirable target for the airmen. Aviators, after serving to replace heavy artillery by bombing front areas are now aiding the infantry and cav alry. When these forces are stopped t machine guu nests airmen, flying low, drive the gunners from thetr posts. Then the Infantry or cavalry rush in and capture the guns before the enemy can resume ftre. All through the battle of the Avre the allies appear to have been masters of the air over the battlefield. Few Ger man machines have crossed the line and of these not many have got back.

Washington, Aug. 14. —Secretary Baker was formally advised by Gen eral Pershing that the First American field army had been created, General Pershing retaining command of the army as well as of the entire Ameri can expeditionary force for the pres ent.

The advices indicate that It comprises, however, five full corps, which means approximately 1,250,000 men.

WAUSAU PILOT NEW DRAFT BILL IS READTFORSENATE 18 to 45 Measure Carries Work or Fight Provision. ITS PASSAGE IS PREDICTED Chamberlain Declares Baker and Crowdei Have Shown Committee That Bill's Enactment Is Ab solutely Necessary. Washington, Aug. 14.—Carrying a work or fight provision that will apply to all men between the ages of eight een and forty-five placed in deferred classification under the draft, the new “man power” bill was ordered reported to the senate by the military affairs committee. The work or fight amendment, which was written by Senator Reed, is de signed to prevent loafing and not as a weapon against strikes. The word ing of the am ndinent is such that it could be so used, but the power to make regulations for its enforcement is left with the president. The pres ident was orderedlby the committee to make such regulations as could not be used as a weapon against organized labor. The work or fight amendment is in the form of a provision to follow the paragraph in the original bill providing for deferred classification and exemp tion, and reads: “Provided, that when any person shall have been placed in a deterred or exempted class for any of the rea sons in this paragraph set forth, he shall not be entitled to remain therein unless he shall in good faith continue, whila physically able to do so, r<> work at and follow such occupation, employ ment or business; and if he fails so to do, he shall again become subject to the draft. The president shall make regulations for enforcing this provis ion.” Three other important amendments to the bill were adopted by the com mittee before the bill was ordered re ported. The most important of these was one giving to volunteers and draft ed men below the age of twenty-cue the right to receive an education at the expense of the government at approved educational institutions. The period of this education would be the equiva lent to the terms served in the army or navy, but in no case would exceed two years. Another amendment adopted by the corr. T ~ittee would remove discrimina tion against drafted men and volun teers in securing commissions in either the army or the navy on the grounds that they are too young. Wives of soldiers shall not be dis qualified for position under the govern ment because they are married, anoth er amendment provides. Chamberlain Predicts Passage. Passage of the bill was predicted by Senator Chamberlain. “The secretary of war and chief of staff and General Crowder,” he said, “have shown to the committee’s satis faction that its enactment is absolute ly essential to the maintenance of an adequate army in France. “It is a time when all must make sacrifices in flesh and blood as well as treasure and the sooner ar? adequate army can he placed on the battle f r oni of Europe the sooner will our country be able to avoid future and greater sacrifices. “Under the bill’s terms the president will have power to classify those se lected. While I have no authority to indicate what he will do, I am inclined to the opinion that classes will be arranged so as to call the youngest last.” Draft Preparation Ordered. Chicago, Aug. 14.—Orders instruct ing local draft boards to begin prepa rations for the operation of the coming draft laws, now before congress, were received from Provost Marshal Gen eral Crowder. The communication states that the registration will take place early in September and directs the hoards to begin at once to train new clerks and enlarge their present offices. ROADS TO EMPLOY WOMEN Thousands Will Be Drawn Into Serv ice to Take Place of Men En tering Army. Washington, Aug. 14.—Thousands of women will he drawn into railroad em ployment within the next few months to take the place of men entering the army and other industries, according to plans of the railroad administra tion. Women are to be employed as clerks, accountants, ticket sellers, sta tion agents, crossing watchmen, car cleaners and to some extent in track work. The general policy will be to pay women the same wages paid men. This course will not result in dis missal of men. since the demand for workers exceeas the supply. In em ploying women American railroads will be doing what English and French rail roads were compelled to do long ago. Training schools for ticket agents are being held in many cities.
