MAY TAKE CIVIL
SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
WHEREVER GIVEN
Washington, D. C, April 10 The
United States Civil Service Commis
sion announces that on March 27,
191S, the President approved a jo nt
resolution of Congress suspending,
during the period of the present war,
the operation of the provision of law
which required applicants for civil
service examinations to be examined
in the State or Territory in which
they reside. During the period of
the war. therefore, applicants for any
examination held by the Commission
may be examined at any place - at
which the examination is held, re
gardless of their place of residence.
An act of July 2. 1909, required
examinations to he taken in the State
of residence. While this provision is
suspended for the period of the war,
it is still required that only these
who have been actually domiciled in
the State or Territory in which they
reside for at, least one year previous
to the examination may bcome elig
ible for permanent appointment to
the apportioned departmental ser
vice in Washington, D. C,
The Commission expects this
change to make it easier to obtain
applicants for positions in Washing
ton. Competent stenographers, typ
ists, and bookkeepers are in great
demand. Examinations for theee
positions are held weekly throughout
the country. Representatives of the
Civil Service Commission at the post
offices in all cities are furnishing de
tailed information and application
blanks.
Walter Beyers, the assessor from
East Rock Bluffs precinct .was in
the city this morning bringing in
with him done of the schedules of the
work which-has been doing.

TIDE OF BATTLE CHANGING.
With the Eritish Army, in France,
April 10. The Messines rid:r
and the Ploesteert wood, which last
June were cleared of Germans by a
spectacular coiip, again today w re
filled wi'h swirling masses of fierce
ly battling troops as the result of a
new drive launched by the enemy t-e-tween
Arnientieres and Messines tins
morning. For hours the Gc-nian
hordes have bc-n flinging them; el ;es
against the defending lines, and by
sheer weight of numbers forced their
way forward ct several points into
the British positions. Meenns,
Pioesteert and Ninepe all had come
within the zone of the bitter fiM
ing during the forenoon, but, with
the attacks and counter attacks in
progress, the situation wns changing
so rapidly that it was impossible to
say at the time of the filing of this
dispatch which way the tide of ct-n-flict
was flowing.
Today's push north of Arni. nt it-res
was a continuation of the new pha-
o fthe great offensive which boiled
up yesterday between Givenchy and
Armentieres, when the enemy surg
ed forward suddenly with fresh
troops and made a considerable de.it
in the defending line.
If the exitrtuy attack of !("::
should succeed Armentieres would le
in a deep salient with the Genu v.s
well in on either side of it.
In the meantime lighting i" s'ill
proceeding at various points in the
sector between Givenchy and Armen
tieres. One of the main features of he
German plans for the offensive as a
whole now becomes obvious. The
kaiser is bent on annihilating trie
British army as far as possible
