 WASHINGTON, D. C., May ,. The second formal conference between the British commission and the American officials was held here today. The meeting lasted throughout the day, with only a short recess being taken.
 Methods of marshaling Ameri- cas- enormous resources to the best advantage in conducting the war were taken up and thor oughly discussed. The facts and figures obtained from England's method of dealing with the sit uation at home were presented by the Britishers. Just how these resources could be utilized most favorably for both Amefi- ca and the allies were also con sidered. It was declared that it would be injurious to all con cerned if Germany were allowed to obtain information regarding American plans, and steps to pre- vent this information from reach ing her were considered.

SAWMILL FOR
 COODPASTER
MINING ACTIVITY IS INDICATED BY APPLICATION FOR A
 TIMBER PERMIT.

Indicating that considerable min ing activity, necessitating the use of a large quantity of lumber and wood. is about to mature in that region, John Hajukovich has made applica- tion at the local land office fol timber cutting permit giving him the right to cut 750,00O feet of logs in the near future in the Goodpaster country. The application states that the applicant is also desirous of cut ting several thousand cords of wood.
 No information regarding mining activity in the GoOdpaster country has reached Fairbanks for quite a while. It is understood, however.
 hat all reports tend to show that good prospects have been found on several creeks of the region. The matter of the application for tim Der permit, coming as it does from the Goodpaster country. leads to the belief that the applicant has faitL in the future of the region as placer mining camp.

PETROGRAD, May 4.-Delayed)
 When the mob congregated around the palace of the foreign minister today he appeared on the balcony and addressed them on the posi-
 tion taken by the government. He declared that it had no intention of betraying the allies by striking her name from the list of allied powers. Even if the majority of Russians should favor such course," he declared, the government cannot accept this view. We will defend our position in such a manner that no one will ever have reason to charge Russia with treason. Rus sia will never consent to separate peace if the temporary government or l can prevent it." He also de

SEATTLE, May 5.-The jury to- day freed Thomas Tracy, an Indus trial Worker, of the charge of mur- dering Jefferson Beard. Tracy was one of a boatload of eXcursionists who went to Everett last November and were forbidden to land by Sher- if McRae, of Snohomish county, who met the ship with a posse of citizens.
 Attempting to land despite the warning battle ensued in which several members of both parties were killed. On the return of the boat to Seattle more than seventy of the I. w, W's were placed under arrest and held on charges of mur- der. Tracy was the first one to be tried. The remaining members will probably stand trial at an early date.

ENOUGH OFFICERS
 TO BE, AVAILABLE
FORCES WILL BE COMPOSED OF EIGHTEEN INFANTRY DlVl- SONS AND SIXTEEN REGl- MENTS OF HEAVY ARTILLERY UNITS.
Associated pTrss)

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May D. The war department today completed it's plans for the formation of the first army to be raised under the selective conscription plan. Accord ing to the announcement of these plans, the first army will number 530,000 men and 1S,000 officers. The troops will form eighteen divisions of infantry and sixteen regiments ol heavy artillery.
 AS soon as possible after the con scriytion measure becomes law the machinery of the war depart ment will be set in motion, and reg istration will begin all over the na- ton. The first draft will be selected at later date, which will be set by presidential proclamation, and 1t is expected that training will begin not later than September l, and probably early in July. It depends on how rapidly the cantonments where the forces will be trained are completed. Work on these will be started as soon as funds are made available, which is expected to be not later than the middle 6t the coming week.
 The department expects no short age of officers in training these forces, and there are today 10000 men in officers training camps who are making preparations to receive commissions. In addition to these there are large numbers of enlisted men in the regular army and the national guard who will get com mands in the new army. It is eX- pected that regulars and national guardsmen will be given preference over civilians where all qualifica- tions are equal.
