LONDON. July 21.-There are all
kinds of gossip as to why apparently
unnecessary chances were taken with a
political position already and unavoid-

George goes coolly. even blithely. on his
way, permitting enemies and friends to
speculate at Will. Perhaps he is wait
Ing for the right moment.
The Russian uncertainty and the sub
marine destruction are beyond imme-
date control by any government. The
unaccountable thing is that such time
of peril and anxiety should be chosen
for government moves which. while not
intrinsically of first Importance. offend
the sensibility Of the British public be-
yond endurance and create mood that
may bring on crisis and necessitate n
general election under circumstances and
with possibilities little short Of calam-
itous.
Mr.. Lloyd George points the lance Of his
offending with Winston Churchill. No
other man can come within SO per cent
of stirring up such opposition. Perhaps
the war management needs Churchill, and
needs him SO badly that all risks are
worth taking 1t is true that he had much
responsibility for Gallipoli and Antwerp.
but 1t is also true that his mobilization OF
the feet in August, 1914. probably saved
the empire. He is the most offensive, ag-

FIND MISSING NUMBER
IN THE DRAFT IS 4664
Blank Capsule Came Out on 10, OO4th
Draw and Men Will Take
That Place.

Number 1864 Is the number which
should have been in the empty capsule
that came out of the bowl early yes
terday morning In the army draft lot
terry. 1t was discovered several hours
later by checking official tally sheets.
A blank for the empty capsule was
left at the foot of the list. and Provost
Marshal General Crowder has so reported
to Secretary Baker. Officials in charge
OF the detail of the scheme say. how
ever. that 1t will be placed in the or
der in which it was drawn. its rotation
number being 10000. This will shove
each number as now listed. from 10000 to
1o4e9. down one place farther on the list.
Probably there are several hundred
men whose cards bear the number
1854. since the average district has
5000 registrants- Even at 10000 they
Will be so far down on the liability
lists that It will make little difference
70 them whether they are 10000 or 10000.
Duplication Is Settled.
Checking of the tally sheets also is
disclosing other problems to be solved.
So far. however, nothing has come up
that does not settle itself naturally.
There is one case of a duplicated num-
Der, because $3.50 and 6ss9 both were
recorded as the same number. Upside
Down either number becomes the other
The ruling made is that the first
number recorded will be regarded as
correct. II it went on the sheet first as
ssSs, it will remain in that place on the
final sheet Where the number is re-
peated later 1t will be reversed.
These are samples of the trifling er-
rors' in the great drawing. Officials are
amazed that there were SO few, when
1t is remembered that the whole plan
of the drawing was upset within little
more than ten hours of the time it be-
gan, and that $500 additional numbers
were stamped, cut, folded and placed
in capsules during the night hours be-
fore the drawing by the clerical force
at Gen. Crowder's office, which had al
ready worked all day getting in readi-
ness for the execution of the original
plan.
