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-

General Foch, who played an im

General Retain, who was a retired

It is generally understood that when

that the general was unwilling to ac

powers. According to some reports he
desired to have command over the

the French.
General Neville was subordinate to
General Petain until, at the hitter's

FORM VIGILANTES IN SMALL
TOWNS TO FIND SLACKERS
Omaha, Neb., May 15. "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.
This morning Frank Ashenbrcnner,
Peter Giadoville and Julius Kalasek
visited Fort Crook, where the head
quarters of the Fourth Nebraska is
maintained, and enlisted in the band
of the regiment that is being recruited
for service. This makes three more
of the patriotic spirited young men of
the community to join the colors and
the boys will be found a splendid ad
dition to the band in every way. They
expect to go to Fort Crook Saturday
morning to join the band and com
mence active work.
Henry Kchne of Center precinct
was in the city today for a few hours !
looking after a few matters of busi
ness, returning home this afternoon
over the Burlington. Mr. Kchne re
ports that the farmers in his locality
are very busy now with corn plant
ing.
