today as the date for the drawin b to establish the draft order of
nearly 800,000 young men of 21 who registered for military service June B.
The drawing will be held at the senate office building. It will be
gin at 9. a. m. and according to the plan should be completed pefors,

In the first drawing it was necessary to use 1,500 numbers in order
to cover the lists of the largest draft boards. This time it is estimated
that the longest roll of new registrants hardly will exceed 1,000 so 1,200
capsules wit hnumbered slips will be drawn from the bowl.
From 10 o'clock in the morning until after 2 o’clock the next morn
ing was required to complete the task last year.

too, in like manner should praise God.
We must fill our hearts and souls’ with
the sweet-rfbunding music, the music
which inspires and thrills. And this is
being accomplished at Camp Hancock
Training Station.
As a rule there is formed a band for
each Regiment. However, owing to the
new units being organized, band music
is receiving its initiation into this sou
thern Cantonment.
There is a large number of talented
musicians in the Training <'enter, and
more than one hundred names have al
ready been signed up. The largest part
of this number are still calling for their
instruments from home. Nevertheless,

ON TOUR OF
THE CAMPS
NOW AT CAMP HANCOCK
Former 28th Division Gas Of
ficer, on Special Duty, Detail
ed by Surgeon-General’s De
partment, Has Lectured to
300.000 Soldiers
Declaring that there cannot be a
double standard of morality in the con
duct of a man. appealing to the vigor,
the sanity, the common sense, the
pride of manhood, and the desire for a
virile race, all strong factors in the
make-up of a,soldier, Captain Al
exander Stone every afternoon from 2
to 3 o’clock and from 4 to 5 oclock.
at the Liberty Theater last week and
continuing this week puts the question
of purity of sex and clean living up to
his autienceg of men in away that has
actually produced results ma’hemat-
Ically as the tabulated statistic of the
medical department with reference to
venereal diseases will prove.
Captain Stone, who was formerly
with the 28th Division as Division Gas
Officer, is now on a tour of all the
camps, cantonments, and navy >ards in
the United States, detailed for such
special duty by the Surgeon General’s
Department, under the auspices of the
Fosdick Commission, delivering his lec
tures on social morals and chastity,
and now returns to Camp Hancock in
the course of his travels after lectur
ing to more than 300,000 soldiers. This
is evidence of <ne of the means that
the United States government is tak
ing to protect the soldiers and make
better men physically, morally and
mentally.
Captain Stone is highly qualified for
tLI ? important duty which has been as
signed to him, being in civil life a prac
ticing physician of prominence and
high in his profession, and having for
many years studied the very problems
tl.at he now deals with. Motion pic
tures showing the nature and the rav
ages of venereal disease and the meth
od of using prophylaxis in tl e army
add to the instructive side of the lec
tures.
Captain Stone holds the chair of
Medical Sociology (the only chair of its
ki.id in any college in the United
States) of the University of Tennessee,
College of Medicine, located at Mem
phis, Tenn.

The program at the Liberty Theatre
this week, is a very good one, full of
PEP and good comedy. Six good acts
of Vaudeville, opening with Musical
Walsh, the Musical Cook, in clever mu
sical novelties. Ross and Le Due, a
good singing and dancing team are num
her two on the bill. Edna Deal, t ver'
clover little lady iu unusual songs is
number three. Richards and Cavanaugh
in “Loves Perfume” are number four and
have a clever sketch introducting songs
and some very good dancing. Number
five, Kelly and ,Withams arc a scream in
their comedy musical act. The Stratford
Comedy Four close the bill, which is one
of the best seen at. the Liberty Theatre
in a long time.
The bookings ahead for the next two
months, promise some very interesting
evenings for the men in camp. On July
Ist another good six act Vaudeville Bill

Some improvements hava been made in
the seating in the Theatre the back seats
having been raised so that all seats are
good. There are no reserved seats at all
for any of the shows and the admission
to Vaudeville is 25 cents and Movies,
10 cents.
The manager notices that the fellows
in camp now are not so well supplied
with “Smileage” as were the boys in
the old 28th Division. Just a Hint to
you fellows, drop a line home and let
the folks know that there is a Liberty
Theatre in Camp Hancock and that the
"other” fellows have "laughing” books
and that you could use one. Try it once,
and you will find it works firm.
REPATRIATION, HUN
RUSSIA PRISONERS
Moscow.—An understanding has been
reached between Russia and Austria that
pending f.'nal agreement regarding the
repatriation of war prisoners, able-bodied
prisoners may be exchanged immediate
ly. head for head in number.- as great
as the carrying capacity of railroads and
other means of transportation permit. It
is also stipulated that civil prisoners of
military age shall be released.
Negotiations between Russia and Ger
many regarding the same question have
been interrupted because Germany in
sisted upon an exchange, head for head.
” sisted upon an exchange, head for head,
which arrangement would be of great
advantage to her as she has the larger
number of prisoners who would remain
[and work in Germany. The Russians
wanted ail prisoners repatriated and re
gardless of the inequality of numbers.
The matter has been submitted to Ber
lin for adjustment.
' Russia’s consent to the exchange with

Daniels Appears Before Sen
ate Committee Favoring No
Beer for Shipyard Workers.
Cabinet Members Divided
Washington, D. C.—Cabinet members
were sharply divided .on the. prohibition
question at the hearing yf the senate ag
riculture committee today; with Secre
tary of the Navy Daniels, espousing the
measure and Postmaster-General Burleson
on the side of the "wetfc.”
Daniels contends that the efficiency of
the navy yards had increased .wherever
prohibition had been adopted
Burleson said such a law "might re
sult in delaying the suc<esßful prosecu
tion of the war."
In response to a question of Senator
Kenyon, Burleson said he was not speak
ing for the administration but. expressing
his personal views. "The great bulk of the
men in shipyards arc capable and trust
worthy,’ said Daniels. "in every case
where prohibition hit* ad' nr-.l the
change had '" t ultv.’. « \ 'hn'. .'a. I

“Newport. R. 1., and Mire Islahd, Calif.,
are (woof the places where a great Im
provement has been brought about.
"Many protested the Mare Island ruling

day A destroyer was recently launched
there in record-breaking time.
Deplorable Conditions.
"At Newport, conditions were? so de
plorable that it would have been a crime
to have permitted them to continue. It
Is a mistake to think men in the yards
would lessen work because of prohibition.
"When congress says 2,000.000 men in
♦he army and more than 400,000 in the
navy shall be denied liquor, I do not
think you are encroaching on the right
of citizens to make the same ruling.
"We ought not to use one bushel of
wheat except to aid in winning the war.
We ought not to use a single man ex
cept in some kind of work that will help
win the war.”
Daniels said he believed the workers
in the shipyards to be as patriotic as
the men in the service and quite as will
ing to make any sacrifice for the good
of the country.
"Prohibition in the navy was opposed
by a number of officers when it was
adopted, but very few would go back to
the old rule.” he declared.
"This is no time to have patience wiQi
fanatics,” declared Burleson.
A Disturbing Law.
"Nothing should Im* done to lessen the
strength or diminish the energy of the
American people. I don’t believe in class
legislation. If I believed •this legislation
would help bring the war speedily to an
end I would be in favor of It at once.
It seems to me that you gentlemen should
seek information of the food administra
tor or the secretary of agriculture.
“I believe this legislation would be dis
turbing and might result In delaying the
prosecution of the war I do not. think it
would be disastrous.
"I have always believed in the personal
liberty of the citizen and have been
against prohibition, as J am now.
“If this bone-dry law Is enacted it will
cause a fight in every congressional dis
trict in the United States, where prohi
bition would be an issue.”
Burleson said he had no specific knowl
edge of what the effect of prohibition
had been where adopted Referring to
the action of some of the prohibitionists
he said "they are pestering you to act."
