SENATE PROVIDES EDUCATION
FOR BOYS ENTERING SERVICE
Washington, Aug. 2G (By I. N. S.). Under an amendment to the
man-power bill adopted in the Senate by a vote of 53 to 13 this after
noon, tlm United States will embark on an aftcr-the-war policy of
educating all men under twenty-one, who cither enlist or are drafted
into the military or naval service for a period equal to that of their
service.
The amendment provides, however, that in no case shall the educa
tional period exceed two years, and that application foT the educational
privileges shall bo made within sjx months of the discharge of the
applicant from the army.

Washington, Aug. 26.
A clear track was Riven In the
Senato today to the mnn-powcr bill,
passed Saturday by the House, broad
ening tho army draft ago limits to
eighteen and f&rty-flve years.
When the Senato convened under
a longstanding agreement to take up
war-tlmo prohibition. Senator Shep-
pard, of Texas, prohibition advocate,
moved to temporarily lay that measure
aside. It was agreed to and debate
on amendments to the man-power bill
was resumed, with passage late today
or tomorrow expected.
House Bill Substituted
To expedite and simplify procedure,
the House bill was substituted for
the draft bill, which has been pend
ing in the Senate. The Senate Mili
tary Affairs Committee met before the
Senate convened and reported tho
House bill, with minor amendments,
after adding the Senate amendments,
Including the "work-or-figth" proposal.
The Senate Committee struck out
the amendment of Representative
Treadway, of Massachusetts, adopted
by the House, providing for appoint
ment of special examiners by tho
Provost Marshal General to reclassify
m6n In existing deferred classes. This
amendment, the committeo agreed,
would cripple authority of State draft
boards and Is unnecessary because
General Crowder already has power to
make any reclassification deemed de
sirable. To Employ Married Women
After attempts to modify it had
failed, the Senato accepted, without a
record vote, tho committee amendment

The amendment proposing free edu

Senator Smoot objected that no edu

replied that it was not a question of

ment could not make a bettor Invest'

By a voto of 53 to 13, the Senate

' ment presented by Senator Reed, of

Paris, Aug. 26.
Tho most Intensely Interesting nrca
in tho world to the Americans Is that
of the second nnd third battles of the
Mnrne, to which I have just made a
visit.
When one takes a fnnp of Franco
and draws a lino from Mcaux to Sols
Rons, thence to Flsmes along tho Vesle
south to Dormans, nnd thence along
the Mnrne to Mcaux, ho finds the
territory inclosed Is tho most conse
crated In all the history of tho wnr.
As I traveled through It I recalled
another visit in July, 1915, vhen I
saw it smiling in the sunshine, it
never occurred to me that It would
again suffer the devastating touch of
tho Invader.
AVlthln a few miles of Solssons tho
French were busy then mending the
ruins of the fight for the Mnrne. One
heard the noiso of many hammers
and saws in every village. Ripening
fields of grain contrasted with the hun
dreds of crosses, white for the French
and English and black for the Ger
mans, which tho natives had erected
with characteristic reverence in the
presence of death.
Between the Ourcq and Paris, they
told mo then, there wero seventeen
lines of trenches and wire which hnd
been prepared to make suro of de
fending tho capital against any pos
sible return of the enemy.
Greater Menace on Return
Within three years they crime back
with greater menace than ever. This
time no detail was lacking Sn their
preparations.
Von Kluck's advance had been com
paratively casual. He failed because
the other German armies wero unable
to advance, alongside of him and his
flank was exposed. Joffre and Foch,
as much by good luck as good man
agement, jabbed the keen French
sword into that flank and miraculously
saved Paris.
The enemy executed what has been
called tho grcntest retreat In history,
and put his armies in position behind
tho Alsne. from which they wero not
dislodged for two years, thus depriving
the Allies of tho Immediate fruits from
the Marne victory.
Rut the second Marno battle by the
Germans, which began on May 20 of
this year, was carefully prepared and
left nothing to chance. It opened with
perhaps the most brilliant success of
the war. Tho strongest positions on
tho western front, the Chemln-dcs-

With the IlrltMl Armies, ..tug. 26.
Tho line of our general advance Is
still changing so rapidly that it is
useless to do more than add a few
details to the olllclal bulletins. Rouglv
ly. I may say that, according to the
information available about noon yes
terday, tho lino of the Third and
Fourth Armies then apparently ran
from near Fontalne-Les-Crolselles,
close to the old Hindenburg line, about
nine miles southeast of Arras, and
through Crolselles, west of St. Leger,
Mory and Saplgnles, where the fight
ing is particularly severe, to a point
between Grevillers and Bapaume.
Thence the line inclines southwest,
but I believe it includes Warlencourt
and its famous butte upon tho Albert
Bapaume road: Martlnpuch, the Bols-des-Foureaux,
part of Mametz Wood,
Frlcourt, Bray and the loop of the
Somme almost to Suzanne.
South of the Somme tne Australians
have pushed gradually forward from
Cappy and Chulgnes, but always in
conformity with the northern advance.
South of the Fourth Army come the
French. The Fourth Army, contain
ing Australian, Canadian and British
troops, had Saturday taken more than
30,000 prisoners and nearly 500 guns
since the beginning of the push on
August 8. v
In my tour of the field between
Thlepval and Pozleres Saturday I
found nlmost everv kind of equipment
left behind in the German dugouts and
trenches, Including trench mortars and
machine guns, but no field guns or
heavies. The retreat had evidently
been anticipated at this point by all
but the Infantry battalions. Among
the prisoners were Alsatians', who
were particularly loud in their ex
pressions of Joy at being captured.
They say that families of Alsatian
deserters are very harshly treated,
even the girls being compelled to work
at trench digging.
Mlraumont was captured only Sat
urday morning after a severe conflict.

Two Important Circumstances
They havo been effected while yet

First Is the character of open move

Second Is the fact that when strick

The Germans today attempted a
counter-offensive on a large scale
ngainst the right wing of General
Mangin's army in tho region between
Vailly and Soissons. The attack
utterly failed.
General Mangin's army repulsed
the German onslaughts everywhere
and in some instances gained ground.
The French flung back the attacking
troops even beyond their starting
point. ,
A dispatch frof&, ,ie Olse front says:
"Violent counter-attacks launched

and Fampoux, on the north bank of
the Scarpe, m an extension of their
big drive, the British today droye the
enemy back two miles and pierced

burg line. The gain was made in a
few hours.
Monchy-le-Preux, Guemappo and
"Wancourt, four miles southeast of
Arras, which were on tho Hindenburg
line as It stood prior to March 21,
wero quickly captured by the British
in their onrush today.

ahead slightly in .March, but were
held up after tho second day of the
fighting and were unable to get nearer
Arras. iit.
