close regardless OF what the other es-

ways been proud of the attention of
our merchants on civic questions and
this, last is but another proof
All the heads of the department
stores in Fitzgerald express them
selves as having favored for some

sentiment must come from the ladies

You demand that we be here every

Hardwick In Way
OF Aviation Bill

Washington, d. c., July 18.-Pass-
age of the $640,000,000 aviation bill by
the Senate was blocked this afternoon
| by objections raised by Senators
Hardwick, of Georgia, and Owens, of
Oklahoma An effort will be made to
pass il tomorrow.
Senator Hardwck offered an amend
ment to prevent the use of the draft
in recruiting men for flying.
Principal Objection
Provision for draft of the aviation
forces was the principal objection
raised in today's debate, although
Senator Chamberlain explained that
the War Department planned to have
, fliers volunteer and to draft only
ground" aviation forces.
Senators Hardwick, Vardaman and
Reed, all of whom vigorously oppos-
ed the army draft law, objected to the
draft clause. The Georgia senator said
/ he favored the declaration of war
against Germany and was willing to
do everything to prosecute it vigor-
ously, but he opposed raising armies
by CONSUMPTION "and drafting any
men for service on foreign soil" He
thought inclusion of draft clause
in the aviation bill would mean draft
ing just that many more men into
service. With the draft clause out,
he said, he would willingly vote for
the bill.
Un-American, He Says
The draft clause he said is "unwise,
unnecessary and un-American. | can't
vote for the bill if that principle re-
mains in it."
The, Georgia Senator said the War
Department had declared that it was
not intended to use draft to enlist avi-
ators and asked: Then why give
them the power when they don't want
it,"
In declaring that he was against the
draft principle, Senator Hardwick
protested against "Prussianizing"
America to win the war and did not
believe it was necessary to have con-
scription, food dictatorship and other
relationships" but believed Gin fight
ing the war as we have fought those
in the past"
Senator Hardwick offered an amend
ment to strike out the clause author
izing CONSUMPTION.
Senator Vardaman declares he
would not vote for any measure that
i"contains conscription provision"

Woman Smiles as
State Urges DEATH

San Francisco, July 19-Mrs. Re

Charles M. Frickert desperately de-
mand the death penalty for the de-
PENDANT when he resumed his opening
address to the jury today trying her
for murder resulting from bomb ex-
plosion here last July which claimed
ten lives.
If this jury does its duty, anarchy
cannot live; if it fails, law and order
cannot live" Frickert said.
I'VE. have shown this defendant
aided in the commission of this
crime and death is the only adequate
penalty She has been a, leading
member of group of anarchists who
called themselves the 'Blasters,'
treacherous snakes whose. creed is
crime and revolution and anarchy"

AMERICAN TROOPS
AND MEXICANS
IN CLASH

Mission, Texas, July 19.-American
and Mexican soldiers are fighting
across the Rio Grande at Ole de
Aquas, an outpost on the border, 8
miles west of Mission, according to
telephone advices received here at
4:45 o'clock this afternoon. Every
available automobile in Mission has
been pressed into service to transport
soldiers to the scene.
Troops at McAllen and other near
by towns also are reported being hur-
ried to Ole de Aquas.
The advices gave no details and mil
ltary authorities were reticent.
Ole de Aquas is the place where a
small detachment OF American SOL
diers were ambushed by Mexican
bandits during border raids about two
years ago, at which time several Am
orleans were killed.

DRAWING or NUMBERS FOR
DRAFT NOW IN PROGRESS;
$4,000 TO Be SELECTED
Especial to Leader Enterprise.)

Especial to Leader Enterprise.)
Washington, D. c., July 20.-The
selective draft took place in room two
hundred and twenty-six, Senate office
building, commencing at nine forty
Ave A. NJ.
1t was necessary to draw ten thous-
and and FIVE hundred numbers because
of errors made by the local board in
marking cards of registrants.
Twelve especially trained men were
used, drawing the numbers from a
glass bowl. Each number was writ
ten on black backed paper and in
closed in gelatin capsule. AS fast
as each number was drawn it was
checked by two men, announced and
written on blackboard, which held
one thousand names. Each number
drawn theoretically applied to each of
the four thousand and FIVE hundred
and ffty-seven districts, but the high
numbers naturally could apply to dis
tricts where the registration was very
heavy. The average number in the
various districts was three thousand
This made it impossible to estimate
how many men were represented by
each district.
Under the new plan for drawing
there were no blanks, each number
representing the red registration num-
Der on some cards
The first examination will calf for
one million and three hundred and
seventy-four men from whom will be
selected six hundred and eighty-seven
thousand. -
