2,060 NJL CALLED
County Draft Board Makes
Classification for Provost
General.
The completion of the classification
of the draft registrants in this county
this afternoon shows that there are
2.060 men registered here, who have
not yet been called. Of this number
1,057 are married and 1,003 are single;
2,039 arc native citizens; one is a
naturalized citizen, 13 are aliens and
7 are aliens who hae taken out their
first papers. There are 261 negroes.
In classifying them according to oc
cupation, agriculture leads with 760.
Laborers in general with 590, comes
next, with professional service fol
lowing w ith 205. Domestic and manual
service in general is the only other
high total, with 203. The number then
drops to 74 in building industries.
The complete tables have been mail
ed to the Protost General.
CITY TO RETAIN NIGHT SIGNS
Despite Order of Fuel Administrator,
Advertising Will Continue.
The city is not going to pay any
attention to the order issued Novem
ber 9 by the Fuel Administration of
the United States to the effect that no
electric current shall be used for dis
play advertising before 7:45 p. m.
and after 11 p. m. Mayor J. E. Boggs
said this morning that the amount of
display advertising in Columbia was
so small that it was hardly worth
while to take action about it.
Mr. Boggs issued an order yester
day that the two lower lights on the
White Way be' turned off at 9 o'clock.
The ruling will go into effect tonight.
Claude Brown, engineer of the light
plant, said this morning that by cut
ting off the lights at 9 o'clock four
tons of coal would be saved each
night. The city is paying $3.85 a ton.
Mr. Brown explained that the plant
is not short of coal, and is even fur
nishing the University with light
after 5 o'clock.
The new rule is being tried for the
purpose of ascertaining whether a
large amount of coal can be saved by
it. Mr. Boggs says that the city coal
bill will be more than it was last
year, in spite of the coal saved by
careful feeding of the boilers at the
plant.

GIRL'S QUICK WIT
TIT
ROBBERS
Miss Karleene Prather Tells
Hold-Up Men Diamonds
Are Imitations.
MONEY OVERLOOKED
Rings Worth $100 Are Re
stored When She Declares
Them Valueless.
A ruse'saved Miss Karleene Prather
two diamond rings when she was
held up by two men as she was re
turning to her home at 1510 Paris
road about 7 o'clock last night. She
was near the Wabash trestle at the
time. The two men aBked her first If
she had any money and then if she
had jewelry. Before she had a chance
to answer, one of the men saw her
two diamond rings and took them
from her.
The stones are of about one-fourth
karat each and probably worth more
than $100.
"Oh, those are only imitations,"
said Miss Parther to the two men.
The man who had taken the rings
was deceived. He dropped the rings,
saying: "1 guess we can't use jew
elry." They overlooked her pocketbook
which was in her muff and contained
a little more than $3.
Miss Prather said the men were so
dirty that she was unable to tell in
the dark whether they were white" or
black. One was a medium-sized,
heavy-set man and the other a tall
man. The first had on overalls and a
cap and the tall man wore 'a mack
anaw and a hat.
Miss Prather is the daughter of
Mrs. Nannie K. Prather. She te now
employed at Scott's Book Shop. She
is a graduate of the University High
School. "
She informed the police of the atJ
tempted robbery, but no trace of the
men has been found.
TWO LIVES RUN PARALLEL
Death Ends Companionship of Men
Who Went West as Boys. '
The death of A. W. Nye of Boone
County a few days ago In Portland,
Ore., broke a lifelong parallel between
his life career and that of John M.
Bentley, also of Boone County. v
With the exception of a decade, the;
men had been companions for more
than three-quarters of a century. In
1841 the parents of Mr. Nye moved
from Virginia and settled in Boone
County. In the same year the parents
of .Mr. Bentley moved from Kentucky
and settled near the Nye home.
The boys were playmates until they
were 19 years old. Then they se
cured an ox team and started for the
West Bentley went to California and
Nye to Oregon. In 1871 they were
re-united when Bentley arrived in
Umatilla County from California.
Later Bentley voted for Nye for
sheriff of the county and, in turn, Nye
later voted for Bentley as candidate
for the same office.
Nye leaves two daughters and two
sons.

Steel Against Germans.
By Associated Press
BRITISH ARMY IN BELGIUM,
Nov. 15. The forces of Crown Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria have made
their first ponderous effort to regain
Passendale village and have failed.
The enemy's attack, made late yester
day north of the hamlet, was com
prised of large forces an(f they made
determined efforts to succeed, but the
assaulting troops were hurled back
after a grim 'struggle, leaving the
British line intact.
The enemy's attack was preceded by
a heavy bombardment. All day tho
German artillery shelled Passendale.
and the forward guns roared, while
the British heavies and field guns re
plied 'with a volley of continuous
deafening roars. No such artillery
duel had occurred along the. British
front in several weeks. For many
hours it was maintained by both sides,
the tumult of the shells being heard
for miles and miles about the country.
About 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon
the enemy Infantry was seen advanc
ing along the southern ridge on a
front of about 700 yards towards the
British position. The "S. O. S." sig
nal went up from the British lines
and a tremendous British artillery
machine opened fire as if a lever had
been thrown, and a myriad of shells
began breaking across the ridge in
front of the advancing Germans.
The enemy made the attack, and as
they surged along they were caught
in this deluge of steel. Some of the
more determined pushed on. A stream
of shells swept across the open ground
waist high into the German ranks,
but many of the advancing men faced
the fire bravely. They reached the
British front lines and flung them
selves against it.
Then pump tht hlttpr wnrk nt plnp
Iiuarters. It is possible that very
w, if any, of the regiments reached
their base trenches without being so
U.fl cut to pieces mat .iney cannot

HRIGHTENS HOWE OF WIDOW
Mother and Seien Children Lifted
From Distress.
She had seen better days and had
come of a fine family, but the wheel
of forutne had left her poor and a
widow with seven children. As the
youngsters were under ten years of
age she struggled ambitiously to keep
them in school.
t Btjt the seven children got hungry
v'ery'bftenj and there was not always
sufficient food. 'When winter came, the
little ones had to be kept warm and
the rent had to be paid. The mother
had to do this on the four or five
dollars she was making a week.
This was three years ago.
Now they are all still in school.
Ihe children eat enough every day, and
the home and their little bodies are
warmed every winter. The Columbia
Charity Organization Society provides
them with coal and shoes; the visiting
committee of the organization gives
them clothing and the mother makes
enough to supply the children with
food and a home. From the distress
of a few years ago, the charity so
ciety has evolved a heart radiating
with happiness.

rapid as they might be; but they are
Improving rapidly.

improving itself (n the trenches, the
artillery is acquiring valuable ex

location of enemy batteries by the

sides are now engaged In a heavy
