EMERGENCY DRAFT WILL GO APRIL 7 Twenty Men to be Sent to Camp Lee Not Yet Selected. Late yesterday afternoon the local draft board received official information from the state department at Charleston that Fairmont's draftees in the special call would leave this city on April 2 and that the time for entrainment will be 1:25 o'clock that afternoon. The train en route to Camp Lee, where the local troops will go, is scheduled to leave Wheeling that morning.

The Marion county troops to be sent by Draft Board No. 2 will leave Mannington at 12:20 o'clock. Luncheon for those who have entrained that morning will be served in this city. Supper will be served Cumberland, and breakfast at Richmond, Va. Who will be among the twenty men to leave Fairmont on April 2 is not yet known by the local draft board, due to the fact that several of the men liable for service will be rejected because of physicai inefficiency.

twenty to go from this city will be the twenty Class men physically fit and holding the lowest order numbers, who are not already in service. It is not probable that men with order numbers higher than 330 will be included in this call. Teuton Ministers 'Terrible Foes?" Well Mebbe, 1 But- When you read about the "terrible rows" between Baron von Kuehlmann, German foreign minister, and Count Crernin, the Austrian premier, eat a little salt. They'll speak, at least. And here they are shaking hands at their most recent meeting.

Czernin is the bashful fellow who has turned from the camera. On the authority of experts repreventing 43 leading life insurance companies it appears that a spinster lires longer. than married woman. Business women live longer than bus iness men, GERMAN SUGGESS NOT VENT They Will Not be Able to Push It Very Far. a The statement of the British war office that troops west of St.

Quentin are falling back to prepared positions indicates that the Germans, although they have broken through the British defensive system, have not pierced the entire British zone of defense. The allusion in the statement to the defensive system may be only to the main battle front behind which other lines have been prepared. If that is the case the Germans have done little more than repeat what the British did in the battle of the Somme when they pierced the Hindenburg line forcing Germans to retreat to prepared positions in the rear. The experiences of the attacking forces in other campaigns show that the Germans as they progress are likely to find their movements more diffcult and the resistance of the British more effective. The more deeply they strike into the British line the further they must move from their bases which entails increasing difficulties in bringing up supplies.

They must move forward over a devastated area while British have great advantage of good roads and railroads. Perhaps the greatest problem Germans will be to bring up their heavy artillery. In every previous campaign it has been necessary for the advancing forces to halt frequently while bringing up guns. The extent of the British defenses has been a subject of much speculation but it is known they have greatly improved during the Earlier in the war when the offensive rested with the French and British less attention was paid to positions in I the rear, the British in particular were said to scorn elaborate defensive zone such as the Germans had constructed. After the defection of Russia and the consequent increase of German strength in the west it became necessary for the allies to consider defensive measures which were carried out during the winter.

Another Chance to Give Book to Army Owing to the splendid responses that have been made by the public for the call for books to be sent to the soldiers and sailors at the front and in France the committee in charge has decided to extend the time until the middle of next wek so that any tardy contributors may be given the opportunity to contribute to the fund. The books will be packed on Wednesday of next week and contributions may be made on Monday and Tuesday to the tune. The committee would greatly appreciate volunteers to aid in the gath ering up the books also and anyone having an automobile or conveyance of any kind that would devote a few hours to this work will please communicate with the committee by calling phone 116 M. Any such person or persons would be rendering a true patriotic service. Patrick O'Connor Dies in Oakland Patrick O'Connor, father of Mrs.

The of holding such demonstration, which likely would be the biggest patriotic demonstration which has been given in Fairmont in years, will be the discussed at an important meeting of Marion County Council of Defense to be held in the office rooms of the Fairmont Chamber of Commerce on Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock.

The idea of having a big demonstration in Fairmont on April 6 is warmly indorsed by all of the leading citizens of Fairmont who have been consulted. Plans for such an event have been considered here for some time. It is very probable that the County Council of Defense will get behind the suggestion at the meeting on Monday evening and work out some definite plans for the demonstration. The ideas of local business men along this line were almost identical with the suggestions made by W. A.

MacCorkle, state chairman of the Third Liberty Loan in a telegram received this morning by Glenn F. Barns. The telegram reads as follows: Glenn F. Barns, Fairmont, W. Va.
