With the French armies in France,
Oct. g5.-The French victory of Tues-
day, northeast of Soissons, is still be-
ing extended.
Monkey mountain, east of Vauxaillon
village, and the greater part of the
forest of Pinon has been occupied. The
French now have Laou in sight and
face the Aisne canal. Contradictory
orders taken from prisoners show cer-
tain demoralization in the German
command and the question is Tasked
whether another pretreat is intended.

U. S. MAILS AGAIN
James Helber May Send Paper As
Third Class Mail Matter Pending
Government Decision. .
Upon signing a sworn statement
that no editorial comment would be
made either on the war or regarding
the policies of the government, James
Helber, publisher of a local weekly
newspaper printed in German, was
permitted to mail this week's copy as
third class matter pending his applica-
tion for a renewal of second class
mailing privileges.
Second class privileges were taken
from Helber because of seditious and
disloyal utterances made in his paper
a short time ago. A decision by the
postoffice department at Washington
on the request for a renewal of the
privilege is expected within a few
days.

French forces in the Aisne region
continued to develop their successes
of Tuesday, when they made a rapid
advance over a front of about six miles,
capturing important German positions
and thousands of prisoners.
Following up the minor successes
Wednesday, the French again attacked
Thursday along the entire line forcing
the Germans to abandon Monkey Moun-
tain, east of Vauxaillon, the village and
forest of Pinon, the village of Pargly-
Filain,,and the extreme east of the line
at numerous fortified towns and other
points of vantage.
The latest drive of the French brings
them within sight of the important
railway junction of Laon, the objective
sought for, which now is a scant eight
miles away. Large quantities of war
stores were abandoned by the enemy
in their retreat and additional guns
and0prisoners were captured. The num-
ber of prisoners taken since the drive
began now exceeds 12,000, more than
200 of whom are officers.
An indication of the rapidity with
which the drive has been carried out
is the total number fo guns the Ger-
mans were forced to leave behind
them. These amount to 120, among
them several howitzers, not to mention
several hundred small calibre pieces
such as mine throwers and machine
guns.

U. S. Marines Possess Balboa's Sword
Washington, D. C., Oct. 25.-A
sword, broken, and rusty, but with the
hilt intact, said to have been bathed
in the waters of the Pacific by Balboa
centuries ago, is among the prized
relics of the United States Marine
Corps.
The weapon was found in the grip
of a dead revolutionary leader by a
Marine during the rebel uprising in
Nicaragua in 1912. It formerly re-
posed in a museum at Leon. At that
time the steel of the sword was in
fairly good condition and could be bent
double without breaking, after four

Washington, Oct. 25.-- New regula-
tions for applying the army draft were
virtually completed tonight at the of-
fice of the Provost Marshall General
and probably will be submitted to
President Wilson tomorrow for final
approval.
The president already has approved
the general planunder which all reg-
istered men not yet called will be
classified in five groups in accordance
with their availability for military ser-
vice.
Provost Marshall General Crowder
tonight cleared up the question as to
how the draft numbers now held by
the 9,000,000 uncalled registrants will
be applied to the new classification.
In each local district the key madef
up from the draft numbers in the or-
der of their drawing will be applied
to each class or group.
In other words, men of class one,
in which will be placed those of the
least value at home and with the
slighest obligations to dependents, will
be called in the order of their serial
numbers until the class is exhausted
just as though all other classes had
been exempted. When class one is ex-
hausted, the same process will be ap-
plied to class two and so" on down
to class five if it ever should become
necessary to carry it that far.
FIRST PUBLICATION DANCE
AT UNION NOVEMBER SECOND.
The first publications dance of the
year wile be given at the Union on

dent publications..
Songs, band bounce features, and
the latest dancing steps will be intro-
duced. The chaperones of the evening
will be members of the Board of Con-
trol and their wives.
To Study President's War Message
Lansing, Mich., Oct. 25.-Study of
the president's war message is' urged
upon the schools of Michiga'n by Sup-
erintendent of Public Instruction Fred
L. Keeler, and knowledge of it is
necessary for teachers by reason of
the fact that five of the questions on
United States history at the examina-
tions to be held in April and August
of next year will be on the message.

urday night dance tomorrow evening

(By Herbert G. Wilson)
The University of Michigan has
oversubscribed her $200,000 Liberty
loan quota by $42,550.
The entire loan purchase of faculty
and students combined, reached a total
of $242,550 last night. Faculty sub-
scriptions totaled $143,050. These fig-
ures include $5,000 of the bonds bought
by the Regents. Students in the Uni-
versity have rolled up a total of $99,-
500. The students bought $12,650
worth of the issue yesterday.
One of the least expected sources
of a large purchase of the loan was
among the girls of the Library staff..
The Library subscription was $3,500.
The two canvassers obtaining the
largest amount of bond sales are Prof.
Clyde Love of the mathematics de-
partment, and Prof. H. E. Riggs of the
engineering college. Professor Riggs
sold $15,000 worth while Professor
Love's quota totaled $42,000,, all
signed for by faculty members.
"We expect to give the country a
surprise," said Mr. Francis Bacon, '02,
executive chairman of the committee,"
the last day ok the campaign ought to
be a stimulus to those who bought
$50 bonds, and those who didn't buy
at all, to get that 'grand and glorious
feeling' of being a practical American
-delivering the goods. I have urged
every solicitor to bunch his efforts
in a final shove to put the Liberty
loaa over in Michigan, big."
"Why any member of the University
who is two-thirds American can re-
sist the temptation to buy a bond
when every real citizen has the fever,
is more than I can comprehend," de-
clared another committee member. "It
seems to me that the University can do
better than that, and I feel like get-
ting up on the top of some building
and telling it so."
All faculty members and students
who have bought bonds at the local
banks are expected to report the pur-
chase to the University headquarters'
at the Union, so that Michigan may get
her full credit.
Team members, captains, and solic-
itors are requested by the committee
in charge to turn in all their reports
to the executive department at ,once,
so that accurate tally may be kept
of the contestants in the last days of
the drive. Persons holding applica-
tions for bonds must turn them in not

ning from Monte Rombon to the Bain-
siza plateau, the battle'between the
Austro-German forces and the Italians
apparently is growing in intensity.
Though the Austro-German forces
are the aggressors the Italians are
stubbornly' resisting everywhere.
Although the German war office
asserts that gains have been- made
at various .points along the line, the
Italian official communication does
not concede any losses except on the
east bank of the Isonzo plateau. To
the contrary, this communication as-
serts that on the Bainsizza plateau,
where the Germans had announced
successes, and on the west slope of
Monte San Gabriele, enemy attacks
were repulsed and that the Italians
even took several hundred prisoners.
Not alone does the German war of-
flee claim that the Italian line bar-
ring the way to the Flitsch basin and
to Tolmino was over-run, and that
positions were captured on the Bain-
sizza plateau, but that large quanti-
ties of booty were taken by the Aus-
tro-Germans and that more than 10-
000 prisoners fell into their hands, in-
cluding divisional and brigade staffs.
FIRST STINT OF
LOAN IS REACHED
Treasury Estimates Total Subsrip.
tions at $,200,000,000
Mark
Washington, Oct. 25.-Liberty loan
totals passed the three million dol-
lar mark today and headed for the five
billion dollar maximum with every
indication that by contribution of the
relentless campaign, the latter figures
would be reached when the books
closed Saturday.
Although unoffical estimates from
the 12 federal reserves do not total
the figure, officials tonight expressed
the conviction that subscriptions were
passed the 3,500,000,000 mark.
"Victory for the second Liberty loan
is in sight," Secretary McAdoo an-
nounced tonight upon his return
home from a trans-continental tour in
behalf of the loan, "but it has not yet
been achieved."
Compiled from estimates submitted
by local committees and federal re-
serve bank headquarters, the total
unofficial estimate of subscriptions as
announced tonight by the treasury was
$3,200,000,000. This sum is regarded
by many officials as ultra-conserva-
tive.
