this has not been received. The calls
which are announced are:

will apply for this relief, notices to’be

men.
The board requests that all who ex-
pect to ask that their time be extended
on account of the harvest, make per-
sonal application at the office in Den-
ton immediately upon receipt of first
notice mailed in order that a selection
of the quota may be made as early ak
possible.
Registered men who may desire to be
entrained before their order number
is reached, should make application at
once to the board.
No men registered June 5, 1918, can

also announced that men who reg-

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY,
June 10.—Notwithstanding the great
forces of Germans who were used
yesterday they did not make any
great advance. The enemy apparent-
ly had hoped by weight of numbers
to break the line between Montdidier
and the Oise. His efforts were stopt
short.
WASHINGTON, June 10.—General
Pershing’s communique today reports
the repulse of a heavy enemy attack
in the vicinity of Bourcesches with
severe enemy losses.
Huns Attack 21-Mile Front
The Germans attacked at 4:30 o’clock
Sunday morning following an intense
bombardment on a’front of 21.8 miles
from Montdidier to Noyon, evidently
for the purpose of widening the base
and joining up the two triangles of
Amiens and the Marne. The attacks
gained from two-thirds of a mile to
four miles, lhe extreme apex of the
new advance in the center along the
Matz valley. The French, upon whom
the attack is centered, are resisting
fiercely and levying heavy toll on the
attackers, their guns replying shell for
shell for the Germans’ shelling. Neither
the British nor the Americans were at-
tacked, on either side of the new ac-
tive front, but heavy gun fire <>n both
led to the belief that their turn would
come next,
