By Samuel M. Williams. (Spectal Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, April 14,—National service in some form by every able-bodied American is the far-reaching programme mapped out by President Wilson and the Cabinet for this war emergency, Tne service will be military for some, but industrial for a far greater number of citizens. Each is to do his bit in the particular line where ie can contribute most to national defense and national strength. In broad scope, these plans contemplate the following services: Two million fighting men, eurviled and trained within two years, Two hundred thousand navy men within one year, Two million farm workers to supply the labor needed for increased crop production, Two hundred thousand skilled artisans to build one thon. sand wooden ships for ocean carrying trade, Five million skilled and unskilled workmen to produce war munitions and constituent materials for the United States and our Allies in the war against Germany, The extent to which those for Will be drafted and the degree of ernment organization and control over them, is still to be worked out. It is} auite possible that the princtple compulsory service will be applied to fill more branches of national service than the milltary and forces | alone. MAY DRAFT INDUSTRIAL ARMY AS WELL AS FIGHTING FORCE. | There was suggestion yesterday in the Cabinet meeting that selectiv: conscription might be extended to all men between the ages of twenty-one sary to conserve American supplies of raw material, This is the power of discretionary embargo in varying of | desrees according to the needa of the | hour and the common Interest of the rations allie ainst Germany, A war trade commission ts to he created to advise the Administration on complicated questions of regu lating commerce y energy is being strained to crop production, but of the startin that direction ous handicap, The planting | season is already on and the oppor- naval jis a s and forty years for the purpose of| 1. tunity for mobilization and al seouring highly efficient forces for] girwction is nearly gone. sie any the industrial army that must back ott Q a When the British Commission up the fighting lines, headed’ by oreign Minist a The proposed plan carried to its full| ri jor Arthur ives, within ten days, extent contemplates the Government . ‘ securing an adequate supply of human |" of these national servic b- material through conscription, and |/°™® Will be brought up for discus then, by means of selective aratt, (908 to obtain the benent of Eng picking out men for different branches i's experience, of service according to national needs A good farmer or a skilled workman would be exempted from military ser vice and assigned to the line of indus- irlal duty where he was best qualified to help the Nation be ee Hagh Garland of Wilmington, Del., to Die tn Hotel, A man who registered at Hugh Gar It 18 not contemplated at present! iang of No. 2200 Parkway, Wilmington that all these millions of men should |pe1,, and sald he waa an attorney of be necessarily in di Governme jthat city, thirty-eight years old, hacked pay, but by reason of exemption from|his throat and cut both wrists to-da military duty they can be put to pro-|in a room tn Volk's Hotel, No. 663 ductive service under Government | Third Avenue. wupervision and regulation Garland was taken to Bellovue Hos Representative Scott, Michigan, to-|P!tal.

CAMBRAI SURE TO FALL UNDER SMASHING BLOWS LONDON, April 14,—Lens, on the extreme northern end, and St, Quentin on the extreme southern end of the British offensive—more thar \forty miles apart on a straight line—are under hard pressure to-day. Cambrai, in the centre of the line, is further menaced. Fall of all three seems certain and a German retreat from the mining field between the present battle line and the Belgian border apparently is inevitable. (Berlin to-day makes the usual claim tha: attacks of the Allies were repulsed. Capture of three officers and 200 men ts mentioned British reports last night estimated the number of Germans taken prisouer at 13,000.) By smashing blows British troops on the right wing reached : mile from St. Fayet, Quentin, Further south the French artillery furiously pounded the German line In the vicinity of Lens on the left wing Haig’s forces made big gains, the Canadians again distinguishing themselves, It is believed they will within a very short time enter Lens, principal city in the great Frene. mining district now held by the Germans, Some reports say the cit British troops are now attackMig the city on two sides Another mile of the Hindenburg line in the vicinity of Lens was taken by the British onslaught to-day. Pit No. 6, to the north of Gly. enchy and Pit No, 11, east of Double Crassler, were both captured, This extends by three miles to the north, the front along which the Teutons’ line Is now broken, The position on which the Germans swang pivot-like in the re- treat to the Hindenburg line is now turned to a distance of nearly elght miles southeast of Arras, Gains of last night were made tal fr nt of nine miles— in the vicinity of St. Quentin and four in the region around Lens, — ® Suddenly switching the point of his Haig last night advanced to Faye WINS AIR BATTLE, ta milo from ts REPORTS, THEN DIES sscension arm’ and” Grama Pe Bees liis Farin, eas Le V vere cap Young Englishman Brings Down acitae German Machine Inside 4, so the the British Line: | a fiv BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN| \ hie as ve WRANCE (via London), April 14 Quen ese days are filed with thrilling reported idents of Individual exploits which s only a ire dificult to sort from the mass} ™ from. th South ming in from so wid battle fs t Fre report f t n t fight } ne of at remarkable Is tha \ Hale { around si lown ' u H f nued from Rey 1 P . epar Halk s between Loos TEXT OF TO-DAY'S REPORT FROM FIELD MARSHAL HAIG, 1 wing Is xt of Gen, Haig’s ncaa Enlis por n War Ottice a ant | T igo of Payet, one mile roe AR en t St. Quentin, was ; night after a sharp ridegroon ed ‘On the high » ; | Verguir | ant posity ot! py’ came two tn line, and Grand goat —
