FOOD AND AIR BILLS PASS SENATE
New Drait Army To Be Started Quickly
By DAVID M. CHURCH.
Staff Correspondent of the Interna
tional News Service.
WASHINGTON, July 21.—“ Within
five days they can begin making sol
diers.”
Provost Marshal General Enoch H.
' Crowder made this statement today,
speaking of the work of the local
boards.
“I am glad the stress is nearly
over,” the general said, “but we still
have a big task before us getting the
official lists out to the local district
boards. They will be sent out very
soon. We will expedite the work and
within five days they can begin mak
ing soldiers, at least in most of the
eastern districts.”
Sleepless for more than thirty
hours, General Crowder was busy to
day doing everything to expedite the
final steps of the national work in
connection with the draft.
Official tally sheets are being
checked by expert clerks. Already
proof sheets of the early numnbers
drawn have been returned and Gen
eral Crowder and his staff are deep
in the work of preparing the lists for
the local boards.
Big Task Is Faced.
With 10,600 numbers drawn and a
majority of the districts having no
numbers above 3,000, the task of pre
paring lists for each district is oner
ous. General Crowder will probably |
have lists made for all districts be
tween naught and 1,000; between 1,-
000 and 2,000; between 3,000 and 4.-}
000, and so on. The local district |
boards can then do the final culling
off of all numbers higher than the
highest number within their jurisdic
' tion.
There is the greatest satlsfacti(m\
in Washington today over the draft
and its operation. ‘
“I am pleased that the public has
received it so well,” General Crowder
\ said today. “Everyone seems to un
derstand it and everyone seems to
feel that it has been fairly done,
“To the newspapers of the country
I must also give my thanks. It was
vital that every man, eligible for the
draft, should know how the drawing
of the numbers affected him. The
only agency which could do this serv
ice was the press associations and
the newspapers in each locality. This
morning I have seen what they have
done, and it is wonderful.”
Clerks Labor Continuously. ‘
Many of the clerks engaged in
checking the tally sheets have been
working continuously since the actual
drafting began, at 9:30 o'clock yes
terday morning. Arrangements are
being made for their relief and an
other corps of experts will be put to
work so that there may be no delay.
It will be well into tonight before
the final sheet is checked and sent
to the printer, |
While General Crowder did not care |
to speculate this morning on when
the local boards would get the lisi
of numbers as drawn, he intimated
they would be ready for distributior
by Monday at the latest. {
Somewhat tired by an ordeal of six
teen hours and thirty-three minutes
utilized in apportioning the standing
of the 10,000,000 eligibles for the new
national army, which ended at 2:18
this morning, General Enoch C, Crow
der, provost marshal general, hit his
desk a few minutes after his usual
“hour today, ready for the “next step,”

Scorn Huge Figures
On Shipping Losses
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, July 21.—British of
ficials today laughed to scorn a
report cabled from the United
States that the Allles are losing
1,600,000 tons of shipping monthly
through submarines and mines.
“It's laughable, absurd,” de
clared Lord Rhondda, of the Brit
ish Government.
“Even to say that England alone
is losing 600,000 tons monthly is a
gross exaggeration. The whole
thing is bunkum.”
In British official circles the be
lief is general that Germany's
submarine war has proved a flat
failure.

that 15 miles long, 27 British war
planes, manned by American aviators,
this afternoon are flying from Og

A Quiet Corner in a
Noisy World—The Church
Seek it tomorrow. It means mental and physical relaxa
tion and spiritual elation.
The world is so much and so insistently with us, that sanl
ty and poise of body and soul require a withdrawal into a
$ quiet place for a little time, at least. The church is a
quiet corner where you are offered not on/ly rest, but
food which gives strength to go back again into the noise
and needs of the world.
The “Go-to-Church-Sunday” columns a few pages over give
~ you choice of many good services tomorrow. Give yourself
the benefit of one of these invitations. You will be better
for doing so.

(By Internationa! News Service)
COPENHAGEN, July 21.—Disord
ers in Petrograd, mutiny at the front,
and further resignations from the
Russian Cabinet have aroused anew
the anxiety over Russia that was
prevalent before the Russians started
their offensive on the Eastern front.
Official advices from the Russian
capital tell of the mutiny of Russian
regiments on the firing line in Galicia. ‘
Near Brody and Halicz, Russian reg
iments that were holding Important
positions, fell back upon the eve of
German attacks, allowing the Teu
tons to carry out successful attacks
and round out their successes.
It is now recognized by a large
number of Russian officers that the
plan of ruling the troops by com
mittees is a failure. It has bred in
subordination and if the soldiers
want to disregard commands in a
icrisis. they are able to do so with
virtual impunity.
With the crumbling of discipiine,
the iron-drilled soldiers of Germany
have heen able to sweep forward into
important Russian *positions. The
Germans are delivering heavy at
tacks along the Dvina River, and in
Volhynia violent artillery battles have
developed.
Kerensky is now almost the whole‘
Government of Russia. In addmon‘
‘m holding the posts of Minister of
‘War and Marine, he has succeeded
Prince Lvoff as Premier. . Prince
Lvoff has been Premier ever since
the Provisional Government was
formed immediately after the revolu
tion. His resignation adds to the
pessimism felt in neutral countries
over the whole Russian situation.
Many of the followers of Lenine,
the agitator largely responsible for
the recent rioting in Petrograd, have
been arrested. Evidence has been dis
covered, it was sald today, to show
that some of them are German agents
and that they have been receiving
money from Germany by the way of
Stockholm,
A woman named Sumenson, at
whose home a number of Lenincites
were hiding, was taken into custody.
AJAX RUBBER PROFITS. |
An increase of 59.07 per cent in sales
and of 60.86 per cent in earnings for
the six months ended June 30, as com- |
pared with the corresponding period in
1916, is shown by the Ajax Rubber Com
pany. Net earnings were $1,257,461. ‘

(By International News Service.)
LONDON, July 21.—England is
to adopt measures of reprisal for
the murderous German air raids
over this and other British cities,
it was announced in Parliament
today.
For some time the British peo
ple have been clamoring for re
taliatory air raids over German
cities, Jorlin itself if possible.
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, July 21.—Premier Lloyd
George, in a speech in Queenshall this
afternoon, replied to Dr. George
Michaelis, the German Chancellor, by
saying:
“Those responsible for German af
fairs have declared for a continuation
of the war. The junkers have thrown
the former chancellor into the waste
heap. But it will not be long until all
junkerdom follows him there.”
The Premier reiterated his previous
statement that Belgium must be re
stored, and predicted that if the sub
rarine is not eliminated this war will
be followed by an evan bloodier one.
Premier Lloyd George said that
Germany would be harboring an illu
sion if she believed that England
would quit fighting before her war
aims are attained.
His utterance about the submarine
situation was not overly optimistic,
but he added that the menace was
gradually becoming reduced.
Michaelis Stands
.
For Spoils of War
(By International News Service.)
AMSTERDAM, July 21.—Although
Chancellor Michaelis failed to state
Germany’s peace terms, the impres
sion was prevalent here today that he
favors only a peace with annexations
and indemnities,
Germany, under the leadership of
Chancellor Michaelis, is apparently
determined upon war aims which
might be summed up in a general way
as follows:
1. An indemnity from England.
2. Annexation of parts of the
cecupied territory of France and
Belgium.
3. A compact guaranteeing “the
freedom of the seas.”
4. An extension of Austro-Hun
garian sovereignty along the Adri
atic coast. |
5. Poland to be an autonomous
state under “German protection.”
6. Annexation of part of Serbia
by Bulgaria. !
7. Extension of Hungary's bor
ders into Roumania.
8. A general European commers
cial treaty establishing the “equal
rights of all nations to trade.”
9. A revisfon of The Hague Con-~
vention,
That the new Chancellor is in sym
pathy with the junkers is made pretty
evident from the attitude he adopted
toward the United States. Dr. Mi
chaelis minimized the part that Amer
ica could play in the war, and his ef
forts to make an impression in that
direction were so obvious that the im
pression is gaining ground in Holland
that he haa an uiterior motive in do
ing so.
The new Chancellor is much differ
ent :n appearance from his predeces
sgor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. Dr.
von Bethmann-Hollweg was tall and
straight as an arrow, with a long, in-,
tellectual face. Dr. Michaelis is small
of stature and his head and face are
so large they seem out of proportion
to the rest of his body. Although the
tenseness of his attitude gives the im
pression of inward force, the new
Chancellor seldom raises his voice or
tries to give emphasis to it.
Dr. Michaelis is a firm believer in
the military strength of Germany and
in the effectiveness of the asubmm-lnel
war
