Draft Up to Civil War Average; Local Boards Pass on Marriages WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. ARLY and scattering reports from local boards do not indicate any increase in physical exemptions from the army draft over the average of 25.77 established in 1863. Provost Marshal General Crowder said to-day that-there was good reason to believe, on the face of first returns from local boards, that there would be no substantial increase in the proportion of those found physically unfit. The question of marriage to avoid military duty has already been passed upon and that type of slacker will meet with a cold re- ception at the loca) boards’ hands. It bas been made clear to the board members that they are the Judges of whether a registered man sought the shelter of matrimony to avoid military service and must act accordingly It is also announced that the Government will automatically ap- peal from every exemption on the ground of dependency au The Evening World prints herewith the list of marriage licenses issued to men within the conscription age by Building elnce last Monday morning. residing in the Borough of Manha other boroughs.

PARIS, Aug. 3.—"A birds-eyo view of bell.” ‘This is how the Flanders attlefield looked to an American avi- ator who flew over it at the height of tho great Allied offensive. “I flew at an altitude of about 200 feet," he wrote from “somewhere at the front” to-day “The land was pock-marked by yawning craters and holes, welling with water, and wounded men struggled through the mud. Tanks wallowed through the swamp like monsters, “The old enemy first and second lines could be traced with difficulty. German wire entanglements were bur- fed. Down below [ could see tiny fig- ures of French and British infantry— frantically ‘digging it’—everywhere far in advance of their objective. “Stretcher-bearers could be picked out, crawling back with bandaged wounds. A German albatross (bi- plane) could be seen, half buried in muck, Purther back, scurrying from shell hole to shell hole, the gray of jerman infantry could be discerned. The enemy fought desperately but ineffectively, yielding steadily, “Hundreds of spans bridied the stagnant trickle called the Yser Canal, and over these bridges scur- ried men and supplies. “{ could see artillery hurrving to advanced positions.

Hindenburg forces last night made a drive against Infaatey ‘Hill east of Monchy le Preuz, two and a half miles south of Arras- Doual Railroad. A night attack on one of the new British posts northwest of Warneton, on the Belgian front, was repulsed. “Early last night,” saya the official report, “the enemy renewed his at- tempt to drive us from our position on Infantry Hill, east of Monchy Le Preux. After a heavy preliminary bom- bardment his troops, attacking on a front of about a half mile, succeeded in obtaining temporary possession of a Portion of our front line trenches at two points. Our counter attacks, in which we secured @ few prisoners. have already regained part of the lost ground. “During the night the enomy also endeavored to raid our trenches soutb- fast of Queant and attacked one of our nowly-established posts northwest of Warneton. Ho was repulsed in both cases, The weather continues wet and stormy, Paris reported that troops of the German Crown Prince after an interns» artillery bombardment last night de- livered several violent attacks against the French positions near Cerny, i the Aisne region, along a front of about 1,500 yards, All the attacks were re- pulsed.
