GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO DO
DRAFTING. WILL WIRE RE
SULTS TO HOME DISTRICTS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.——-Regula-i
tions for drafting the new national
army, now awaiting President Wil
son’s approval, contain provision for
every step in the great undertaking,
except the actual method of the draft
itself.
No official announcement has been
made, and official confirmation is be
ing withheld, but it has been stated,
and generally accepted here as true,
that the federal government itself
will do the drafting probably at
Washington, so there will be no op
portunity for local favoritisms, poli
tical or otherwise,
As the regulations stand now
every registered man bears a number.
The numbers will be forwarded to
‘Washington and the drawing will be
entirely by number. The identity of
the numbered men will be entirely
unknown to those in charge of the
draft machinery, and can be estab
lished only by comparing a number
with a printed list in the men’s home
district.
As the numbers are drawn they will
be telegraphed to the home distriets,
where the registered men will learn
if they have been drafted.
Then the question of exemptions
will come up, and this will go before
the local boards. If a man is exempt
ed the man bearing the number
which was drawn next in order will
take his place, and so on.
In this way all those available for
service out of the 10,000,000 who
registered will be made ready for the
eountry’s call, and from them the
first increment of 625,000 will be as
sembled. The others will be called
as the need develops. Plenty of time
will be given for drafted men to ar
range their personal affairs and re
port to the cantonment camps. It is
hoped to have them all in training
by September 1 or very soon there
after. -
CORN WILL MAKE ONLY
THREE BUSHELS PER ACRE
Drouth Has Hit Farmers Hard in
Section of Calhoun County.
Reports from Edison say that a
large section of Calhoun county has
had practically no rain for two
months and in some communities
a longer time, and much of the crops
are already beginning to wither.
Corn, which a month ago promised
such an abundant yield, is seriously
injured. Some farmers report that
where a few weeks ago they expect
ed to get a large crop they cannot
now expect more than two or three
bushels of corn per acre, even if it
should rain now.

DIXON ANSWERS

' BRYAN SUPPORTER
EIAUTHOR OF “THE FALL OF A
; NATION” ATTACKS COMMON.-
' ER’S PEACE ACTIVITIES.
! Thomas Dixon, author of “The
!Fall of a Nation,” has come to the
!fron't in answer to the criticisms of
i his caricature of ex-Secretary Wil
gliam J. Bryan under the name of
Hon. Plato Barker in the film.
’ “‘lt appears to me that the film is
always singled out for condemnation
in respect of matters that do not
'start even a ripple when presented
’ on the legitimate stage or in the fun
ny columns of the papers. Are the
cavilers aware that Mr. Bryan is be
‘ing caricatured in almost every sum
‘mer show or revue in the country?
I saw him cartooned in the Ziegfeld
Follies the other night and in a Col
umbia theater revue in Chicago re
cently. Every newspaper cartoonist
is privileged to make fun of public
characters. Yet when a film author
does the same thing hands are held
up in holy horror! :
“My answer to the charge is sim
ply that all the statements of fact
implied in my caricature are true.
Resigning from the office of secretary
of the state Mr. Bryan, so to spe.ak,‘
‘hogged’ the chautauqua platformi
and became the star lecturer at an
emolument of $5OO per lecture. He
raised the price, generally collected
the money in advance, and put the
other chautauqua speakers in the
shade so that summer many of them l
could not obtain engagements. Thei
theme of his oratory was ‘Peace,’;
and he was surrounded by groups of’
admiring women and children just as |
he is shown to be in the picture. The |
part of the caricature referring to |
the future is a likely forecast of what |
would happen should such an orator |
present to an invading army his Uto-!
pian peace proposals. He would be !
laughed at, handled with indignity,i
and the result of his efforts would be |
absolutely nil. ;
“In conclusion I will say that I at- }
tacked Mr. Bryan on his record as a |
pacifist and foe of adequate prepar- |
edness. I have nothing whatever !
against Mr. Bryan personally, but |
claim the right to make legitimate!
sport of his mistakes which might!
have cost America dear. Every de
velopment of the international situa-{
tion proves anew from day to dayi
that the professed friend of unpre-|
paredness is the most dangerous ene- |
my to American liberty.” At D.aw-!
son July 4th.—adv. |
