MANY FRENCH THINK HIM MAN OF DESTINY In Latest Fighting British and French Barely Hold IMaces Under Attack. The front in northern France is wit nessing an increasingly determined resistance by the Germans to any fur ther advances by the British and French, who by their offensive have pushed to points of extreme danger for the German lines. A heavy attack was launched by the Germans today on British positions in the Bullecourt region on the Arras front. Today's official statement says the Germans were repulsed in Bulle court, but that the British advance posts in the northwestern portion of the villgae were forced back a short distance. Paris reports an attack was made by the Germans last night on an ex tended front. Today's official state ment says it was repulsed by the French fire. The Germans were able to get a footing only in ivn advanced trench. Berlin reports that troops of the German crown prince have captured the farm of Ste. Berthe, east of Fort De Malmaison on the Aisne front, to- (av's armv headauarters' statement announces. Paris, May 15. General Retain was appointed commander-in-chief of the French armies operating on the French front at a cabinet meeting to day. Geneva! Neville was placed in com mr.nd of a group of armies. General Foch, who played an im portant role in the battles of the Mai ne and the Yser, succeeds General Tetain as chief of staff of the min istry of war. General Retain, who was a retired colonel at the outbreak of the war, is the man to whom many Frenchmen have been ookinjr for the initiative lvi,;,.i, ,..,, j,-, cn n h French front To him moh; than to othor mmman(I.r now ;n nc. tive service with the r rench legend of success attaches.

It is generally understood that when the retirement of Marshal Joffre was ... .,non ihp ;irsVlnl splpf.fP(i General Petain as his successor but that the general was unwilling to ac cept the post without extraordinary powers. According to some reports he desired to have command over the British forces in France as well as the French. General Neville was subordinate to General Petain until, at the hitter's uggestion, he was made commander- in-chief at the time of Marshal Joffrr;'? retiremenc General Foch, who made a brilliant lecord early in the war, was detached from active service last month.

"Vigilance! committees" are being formed in many of the smaller cities and towns of Ne braska, according to Ensign Rayley, who returned Sunday with the Union Pacific's conservation special train. These committees have for their ob ject the enforcement of the unwritten law, "everybody do his bit." "The leaders of some of these com mittees told me that they intend to see that every young man either joins the armv or navy or gets busy on the farm," said Rayley. "Exceptions will be noted, of course, when the subject cannot be spared fiom his present du ties for one reason cr another. The slackers are to be run out of town by these belligerent committees, so they say." ONE OF EIGHTEEN ELiGIBLES iS GALLED Small Per Cent of Men Subject to Draft in Nebraska to Be Needed. Washington, May 15. Of the men enrolled in Nebraska for military serv ice under the '-elective (rait hi I . onvr one man out oi cignieen win oe caiieu . f 1 . ill for service in the first army of 500, 000 men. The census bureau, basing its estimate on the actual population in Nebraska between the ages of '. and 30 years in IS'10, estimates t! population in the state between these ages to lie 120,400. Nebraska's quota of the first army of 500,000 men will be approximately 7,000, one-eighteenth part of the number estimated to be Sv'bject to enrollment. The war department has estimated that the exemptions, under the various clauses written into the hill giving the president discretionary power of exception, together with the statutory exemptions, will amount to 42 per cent of the enrollment. This would leave 55,000 men in the service class, and out of that number only one in eight will be needed to make up the lirst a -n;y. The enrollable population of the United States is estimated at 10,078,- OO!) between the age limits fixed by the draft bill. On the 42 per cent basis of exemptions 5.S00.0OO men will be enrolled who are actually liable for service. Noarlv twelve armies the size of the one which the government will undertake to raise immediately could be called to the colors before the list would be exhausted. JOINS FOURTH KKGIMKNT.
