President Wilson's Proclamation
Drafting Nation's Man-Power
, Washington, Aug. 31.
In his proclamation fixing Septem
ber 12 as the date for tho registration
of this nation's man-power, President
"Wilson said:
'Fifteen months ago tho men of
the country from twenty-one to thirty
one years of age were registered. Three
months ago and again last month
those who had Just reached tho ago
of twenty-one were added. It now re
mains to Include all meri between the
ages of eighteen and forty-five.
"This Is not a new policy. A cen
tury and a quarter ago it was de
liberately ordained by those who were
then responsible for the safety and
defense of the nation that tho duty
of military service should rest upon
all able-bodied men between the ages
of eighteen and foTty-flve. Wo now
accept and fulfill tho obligation which
they established, an obligation ex
pressed In our national statutes from
that time until now. We solemnly
purpose a decisive victory of arms and
deliberately to devote the larger part
of the military man-power of the na
tion to the accomplishment of that
purpose.
"Tho younger men hao from the
first been ready to go. They have
furnished voluntary enlistments out
of all proportions to their numbers.
Our military authorities regard them
as having the highest combatant qual
itles. Their youthful enthusiasm,
their virile eagerness, their gallant
spirit of daring make the ndmlratlon
of all who see them in action. They
covet not only tho distinction of serv
ing in thlj great war, but also tho
Inspiring memories which hundreds
of thousands of them will cherish
through years to come, of a great day
and a great service for their country
and for mankind.
"By the men of the older group now
called upon, the opportunity now
opens to them will be accepted with

the calm reassurance of thoso who
realize to the full tho deep, the solemn
significance of what they do. Having
made a place for themselves In their
respective communities, halng as
sumed at home the graer responsi
bilities of life In manv spheres, look
ing back upon honorable records in
Industrial, they will realize perhaps
as no others could, how entirely their
own fortunes and tho fortunes of all
whom they lovo are put at stake In
this war for right, and will know tho
very records they have made, render
this new duty tho commanding duty
of their lives. They know how surely
this Is the nation's war, how Impera
tively It demnnds the mobilization antt
massing of all our resources of every
kind. They will regard this call as
tho supreme call of their day and will
answer It accordingly.
"Only a portion of those who regis-
tcr will bo called upon to bear arms.
Those who are not physically fit will
be excused; those exempted by alien
allegiance; those who should not be
relieved of their present responsibili
ties; above all, those who cannot be
spared from the civil and Industrial
tasks at home upon which the success
of our armies depends as much as
upon the, fighting at the front. But
all must be registered In order that
the selection for military service may
be, made Intelligently and with full
information.
"Thia will be our final demonstra
tion of loyalty, democracy and the will
to win; our solemn notice to nil tho
world that we stand absolutely to
gether In a common resolution and
purpose It is the call to duty to
which every true man In tho coun
try will respond with pride and with
the consciousness that In doing so he
plajs his part In vindication of a
great cause whose summons every
true heart offers Its supreme service."

Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Copirtoht. 31d. hv NVu- York Tlmti Co.
With tho nrltlsh Army on tlio West
ern Front, Aug. 31.
The places captured by the British
in tho last forty-eight hours are so
many that tho mere list of them Is
long, from north of tho Scarpc, where
the Scotsmen nro on tho outskirts of
Plouvaln, after their long and gallant
fighting, to Bullecouit, which thn Lon
doners and West Lancashire troops
took Thursday, going further east
than wo have ever been before, an1
away down south beyond Uapaumo
and toward Poronne.
In the First Army the Canadians,
following up the splendid attack of
tho Londoners, made a now assault
and are within a few hundred yards
of the Drocourt Queant line, .and In
the Third Army tho New Zealandcrs
and other troops are getlng out Into
tho open country and on tho high
giound to the north and cast of Ba
paumc. I picked some roses in Bapaumo,
red rambler loses, which would make
a garland for tho steel helmet of one
of the New Zealand boys, to whom tho
honor is most duo for the capture of
the town. Bapaumo is not a fragrant
place for rose-loveis, and when 1
went Into It early in the morning
whllo a new battle was in progress
outside, German shells were smashing
among tho houses, and theie was a
smell of corruption and high explo
sives in Its ruined streets. But I
noticed how, against a broken wall,
these roses were In bloom, nnd marl
golds and sweet Williams among the
red brick dust of tho ruins. I picked
a bunch out of sheer maudlin senti
ment, for theio is sentiment about tho
recapture of Bapaume for all the
British soldiers and for me.
v
Second Triumphal Entry
It Is the second time wo have enter
ed it In triumph after stern fighting
up a long, long trail. I shall never
forget the thrill of that first entry, on
March 17 of iastear, when I had tho
luck to go In with tho Australians i'p
the long road from Albert, past Pozl.
eres and Le Sar and the Butte Jo
Warlencourt, and those frightful
places whoie thousands ot British had
fallen on the way. It seemed then
that Bapaumo was the goal of victory,
and, In spite of the dreadful sights
about, one's spirit rope as one passed
each shell crater and drew nearer to
tho town.
A repetition of experiences is never
qulta so fresh In censation as the first
adventure, yet to get again Into Ba
paumo after its loss last March, when
the German army came rolling the
tide back over the Somme battlefields,
was a thing worth doing. It was
another landmark of history, made
this time by the New Zealanders and
English regiments fighting besido
them.
I s"et out early to get there, and
saw the dawn rise for this new day
of war. The fields were pale In the
first light of day, and there was a
white mist over all the war zone until
It was soaked up by tho rising sun.
Tho battlefields appeared ghastly In
this whitish glamour, with dew ding
ing to the strands of barbed wire ahd
to all'the tall thistles growing rankly
In the unreaped cornfields, all cut up
..1,1m twA.,..!. n4 t...l1 .B.n,.VH
Supply trains puffed through the
desolation of those old battlefields
with long trails of white smoke nnd
truckloads of shells for the new bat
tles. Kite balloons rose above the
gray earth and wagged their white
ears aloft.
Camps Are Wakrng Tip
Presently ajong the roads the trans
port came crawling. Labor battalions
came out of their camps, in which
smoky flrea burned, and marched up
to mend road tramped over by Ger
man boots a day or two ago. From
the aerodromes on the way (he Brit
ish flying men were coming out for
the first flight of the mornings, and
winged away Into the dappled sky.
So the world out here awoke o
another day of war, though further
off there was no waking for meti-who
slept.

By the Associated Press
With the British Forces In France,
Augr. 31.
British successes on the . Lyjt
salient sector of('the battlefront hmyo
caused tho Germans to start a re
treat from the neighborhood of Kerrf-
mel to opposite Bethune (a distance,
of twenty-five miles). The wtfti
drawal is progressing rapidly.
The British lines are advancing
speedily on the heels of the enemy.

London, Aug:. 31s
Mont Kemmel, the famous strong,
hold southwest ot ,Yprs. wlitch wefr
ine scene or terriflcnghtlngdB
the German offensive In FTn
laW fivApril, hao beeii'capturedl
he British, according to advices from
the front.
In the captur of Mont Kemmel
(Kemmel Hill) the British have tyon
the height dominating- yearly alt tha
northern side qf the Lys salient. Thia
famous hill was won by the Germans
in April at a tremendous price and
was defended to tho death by th
British and French.
The British have 'sained front one
to two miles on Important sectors of
the Ls salient. ,
Evacuation Probable
As dispatches from the front rerjort
a general German retreat in the Lye
salient. It Is likely that the Germans
evacuated .Mont Kemmel and the Brit
ish rapidly moved In. Messages from
the battle area say that while the.Lya.
salient Is gradually becoming monri
shallow) the enemy is retlrlnir only ''
after applying the torch to his stores
and demolishing what remains of the
nouses.
British patrols are reDorted to ba
in Prnnoutre, nnd on the Scherpenberv
front, southwest of Tpres, enemy
trenches have been taken without op
position.
Apparently the Germans are headed
for the old line which runs In front of
Armentleres and are abandoning all V
the ground In front of it. This move
ment has been more or less forced
because of the British advance In the
south The territory being evacuated
had left a salient so deep that it was
dangerous to try to hold it.
Dranoutrc Entered ,
British forces have entered the vll. I
lage of Dranoutre, south of Locre, on I.
the north side of the Ljr salient, the 11

General Halg's forces also have won
Ballleul Station and the hill to the
east Known us L,iue .Mountain.
They hae progressed a mile and
a half east of Ballleul in these opera
tions. '
On the southern side of the salient. .
the British have occupied the village
of La Couture, four miles northeast of
Bethune.
The British hold the line of the
Lawe R,Uer from Vlelle .Chapella to
Lestrcm (three miles noith of La Cou
