Regulations to govern the next step toward selecting a national war army from millions registered for service on June 5, were issued to-day at the direction of President Wilson. They leave to be prescribed later the manner of deter mining the orde- of liability of the men registered, but set forth in great detail the method jf arriving at exemptions and the work generally of the 1 ">cal and district boards already named to carry out the task. Exemption, regulations add little to the terms of the draft law, the question of whether a man between the ages of 21 and 30 is entitled to exemption because of dependants, the nature of his occupation or physical unfitness being for the boards to decide after proper investigation. It is made very clear, however that . there are to be no class exemptions and that each individual case must be decided upon its merits. The local boards—one for each county of less than 45,000 population or city of thirty thousand, with additional boards where necessary for each additional thirty thousand population— —will pass upon claims for exemption except those based upon industrial or agricultural occupation subject to appeal to the dis trict boards. All cases involving agricultural or industrial ex emptions will be passed upon by the district boards—one for each district—which also will decide appeals from decision of He local boards. in Camp by September 1 he near future a date will be y Brigadier General Crowder. t marshal general; f<?r the ig and organization of the .

This is evidenced by the announce ment to-day from Petrograd of tlie taking of an important Austro- German position in Galicia at the outset of the new offensive, to gether with the capture of more than 8,500 prisoners. I lie advance was effected in the field of attack between the upper Stripa and the Narayuvka. General Brussiloff moved here yesterday, the \ustro-German lines being struck along a front of more than I<S miles after prolonged artillery preparation. In i pressing forward the Russians captured the town of Koniuchy. i he number of prisoners taken compared not unfavorably I with last years lists from General Brussiloff's great offensive j along the southern part of the line, considering the comparative shortness of the present line of attack. A stroke of such force had hardly been expected from the Russians, considering the disorganization ot the army, following the revolution.
