MANY COMPLICATIONS

There are numerous complications which must arise, however. and the method of solving them can be known only when the administration makes known it's plans in detail The number of registered in dividuals in each district who are liable for military service will not be the same. Aliens are registered but not liable for duty. Tn some districts the proportion of physically disqualified will run higher than in others.
 MUST BALANCE CHANGES
 All this must be considered in framing the regulations. Provision must be made also to balance, as far as possible, the chances of military duty between the men in each district, so that disquaifi- cation of large number in any particu- lar district for any reason VIII not put upon those qualified additional likelihood of being sent to the front.
 Various ways of accomplishing this cor rection of chances so as to make the re- suggested. An arrangement of dummy numbers may be resorted to to equalize matters between districts. The matter has had President Wilson's personal con- sideration in line with his pledge that the method employed would be fair and just. MORE THAN 50O,0OO
 < While the first contingent of the new army under the bill is limited to 5000 men, an additional 125,o0o or 150,o0o will be needed for the reserve battalions. Re- serve battalions are being recruited for all regular regiments and will be recruited for the National Guard when it is drafted into the federal service. The organiza- tion of the national army will be on the same basis.
 It may be necessary also to draft enough men to fill up the regulars and National Guard to war strength, although no decision to this end has been reached. The regulars are close to war strength and the guard units are recruiting rapid

MANY DISAPPROvE

Many senators who had pl2nied to vote for the Robinson substitute promptly ex- pressed their disapproval of the Cummins amendment. which they declared proposed virtual confscation of 220,0OO,000 gallons of distilled beverages in bond without conserving any grain. They pointed out that the government would lose next year between s25ooOo,ooo and $soo,oooooo taxes, and asserted that banks with loans upon distilled spirits might be put out of busi- ness
 PROS OPENLY PLATED
 The prohibition forces, however, were openly elated over the possibility of stop ping consumption as well as manufacture of whiskey and other hard" beverages. Tomorrow the fight will center upon an effort to eliminate the Cummins amend

NEW ELEMENT ENTERS INTO CONTEST WHICH
 DISRUPTS EVERY PLAN
Cummins Moves to Prohibit Withdrawal of Spirits From the Warehouses,
 Which Would Mean
 No Consumption

Washington, July 6.-At the close of a day of turbulent debate and aft CT voting B to 34 against the so-calied "bone-dry. amendment, the Senate to- night recessed until tomorrow in the midst of the prohibition fight on the food control bill.
 Defeat of the "bone dry" proposal in- sures that legislation prohibiting manu- facture of intoxicants will be limited to distilled beverages. Whether consump-
 ion as well as manufacture of distilled pirts shall cease during the war, new element injected into the contest at the eleventh hour, completely disrupted lead- CTS well laid plans and caused the recess for conferences on compromise.
 CUMMINS' AMENDMENT
 After roll calls showing a considerable majority against stopping manufacture of beer and wines or giving the President power to suspend their manufacture. the Senate voted 6S to 10 to prohibit the inn portation of distilled beverages and then by a vote of 45 to 40 tentatively adopted a provision pronlpItlns WilhuraWal oA ols- tiled spirits now held In bond for bev- craze purposes.
 Both provisions. though voted on sep arately are contained in an amendment by Senator Cummins, added to the so- called administration compromised sub- stitute of Senator Robinson of Arkansas, prohibiting only manufacture of distilled beverages. The substitute was offered for the clause as drafted by the agriculture committee, which would place the ques- tion of beer and wine manufacture in the
