NEW COUNTY LIST
OF DRAFTED MEN
TO BE PREPARED
Double the Quota Will Be Instructed to
Present Themselves Before the
Local Boards.

Gen. L. S. Tillotson, after receiving
notice that the drafting was TO take
place to-day, sent to each of the county
boards their instructions relative to
what 10 do after getting their list under
the selective draft. These instructions
were held up until after the draft was
made for military reasons.
These instructions are:
"As soon as each local board has been
advised of the order in which the persons
registered in the county are to be called
to service, new list for the county will
be prepared, giving tho names in the
order in which they will be called. In
this new list the names will be preceded
by the serial number and followed by
the number showing the order in which
they must respond, viz: 81, John Jones,
/; s, John Smith, 2; IL, John Doe, 3 etc.
This list will be posted at the Office
of the local board and made accessible
to the press for publication; approx
mately twice the number OF men to be
furnished by the county will then be
ordered to appear for examination in the
order designated by the number on the
right hand side of the names.
persons so called will be notified by
mail, designating the date and place,
where and when they must appear for
All persons so notified
must appear at the time and place speci-
led. They will then be given an op.
to present their claims for ex.
,mption if they desire.
"The reason for calling twice the num-
Der to be furnished is that it is estimat-
ID that about half of those exam.
ned will be excused for physical dis
qualification and other reasons.
"If a sufficient number is not obtained |
rom those called in the first lot, another
all will be made, taking the names in
he order shown by the number on the
light hand side and so on until the req
isite number is secured"
This information should materially
elp those whose numbers may appear
mong those drawn at Washington to-
ay and will give them an opportunity
D plan to 60 to Montpelier at the date
Ihich the exemption board may an
ounce for the examinations.

the first draft is %, but the instructions
of the government was for the local

quota to permit of shrinkage from ex-
emption.

WHY PLAN WAS CHANGED.
Provost Marshal Says 1t Was Due to
Faulty Groupings.

Washington, July 20.-Plans for the
military liability for nearly 100000
registered men throughout the country
were materially changed late yesterday
and the intricate method of double draw
ing worked out by officials to lessen the
physical task was abandoned.
Instead of a process requiring not
more than an hour and involving one set
of numbers from one to one thousand
and another from nothing to ten, it was
necessary to draw, one at time, at
least 1928 numbers.
Following is Provost Marshal General
Crowder's explanation of the sudden
abandonment of the double drawing plan
which it had taken weeks to work out
in detail and which was made public only
few hours before it was discarded:
"Advices received by long distance tele-
phone this afternoon indicate that in
certain areas the boards, in numbering
registration cards, have kept the cards
segregated by election districts and that
serial numbers have been assigned to
the whole group for board while the
cards were thus segregated. If the
drawing is conducted as originally
planned in groups of 1000, the result
will be that considerable proportions of
certain election districts will be brought
up for examination together
This will result in drafting persons
from one locality within the jurisdiction
of board before any person is drawn
from another locality within the same
jurisdiction.
"For this reason, it has been decided |
to abandon the drawing by thousands !
and to draw l0,500 numbers, which is in |
excess of the highest number of cards
under the jurisdiction of any board.
"The only change in the plan will be
that there will be one drawing instead
of two.
"The advantage will be greater sim
plicity. The disadvantage will be that
the drawing will require ten hours to
complete"
Late last night General Crowder issued
a second statement explaining that no
blame should be attached to local off. 4,
cisls whose failure to shuttle the cards
in their jurisdiction caused abandonment
Of the more elaborate plan. He also
pointed out that this failure was not ,
confined to New Jersey but was wide
spread. The statement follows:
"AIl alteration Of the mechanism Of !
the drawing was rendered necessary this
afternoon BY the fact that sdvices re-
oeived first from New Jersey and after
wards from other states indicated that

Guarantee of Minimum
Prices Would Slim
ulate Production
By DR.. R e. CHADDOCK, Columbia
University

r THINK n of the most impor-
L tant proposals under the second
Lever bill is the guarantee of
minimum prices to farmers to slim
ulate production. That has already
been done in England for three
years in advance. 1 think that we,
too, should guarantee prices for two
or three years to come, with pro-
visions perhaps for a downward
scale should the war end in the
meantime.
The farmer has had to pay more
for labor this year, more for fer
tilizer and more for seed. We must
take care of the incentive to profits
on the farm, for that will influence
production more than anything else.
You can call on the patriotism of
the farmer to a certain extent, but
he is physically unable to meet the
higher cost of production.
THINK If THE WAR ENDED
THE GOVERNMENT COULD TAKE
OVER TIE FooDsTUFF AND SELL
at AT THE GUARANTEED PRICE
FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS TO
COME.
A long time need for food faces
us. Even if the war ended tomor-
row the world would continue to ask
us for food as never before.

Justice Is Rendered to a
Nation When 1t Is
Taken at Its Worth
By DR.. T. lYENAGA, Spokesman
For the japanese In America
ITE must frankly admit that in

WE must frankly admit that in
w the frail world we live in
there are times and circum-
stances in the relations between ma
tons when putting into practice of
a high sounding ideal becomes only
a farce, when ex%pediency dictates to
the nations concerned the wisdom
of finding the best practicable modus
vivendi to regulate the smooth work
ing of their intercourse. This is
the reason why the "gentlemen's
agreement" is acquiesced in, why
the Chinese exclusion act stands.
We cannot further ignore the fact
that there exists such a marked
difference in kind and degree of cul-
ture and civilization which various
nations have attained that the uni
form application to all nations of
one set of abstract principles of in
ternational intercourse is often i'm
practicable and undesirable.
This is why the clause of extra
territoriality has place in interna-
tional law, for otherwise the prin-
ciples Of justice and equality would
be upset instead Of being upheld
Justice is rendered to a nation when
it is taken for its worth; true equal
ity exists only among equals.
EACH NATION MUST THERE
FORE STAND UPON ITS OWN
MERIT AND HAS NO RIGHT TO
ASK FOR OTHER GRACE THAN
THAT OF LIBERTY TO STRIVE BY
itself FOR FURTHER DEVELOP.

cisco, Cal, there was q prominent law
yer who prided himself on his astute-
ness in questioning Chinese witnesses.
He was very raearsighted, so failed to
note the dress of a Chinese witness
was of finer texture than that worn
by an ordinary coolie.
Instead of asking the usual Ques-
lions as to age, occupation, ETC.. the
following dialogue ensued:
o.-What is your name?
A.-Sell Lung.
Q.-Do you live in San Francisco?
Ayes.
Q.-You sabe God?

New York city. August Z, three months
after they had started. 49,.
While crossing the Blue mountains
in Oregon, they lost their way, and
had to ask assistance OF the Indians.
It was here that they saw how the In
