pendants.
Washington, July 2i--Soon after
midnight this morning the drawing Of
the first 100000 young men from the
registered list Of 100000 was com
pletcd, the machinery Of the vast lot
terry running with a smoothness and
efficiency that was the product Of
weeks Of preparation. War depart
ment officials and members Of the Sen
ate and House military committees,
with representatives OF the press pres
ent, began the drawing at 4;49 o'clock
yesterday morning, in a committee
room cf the Senate Office building. All
through the day and evening the work
continued until the l0,500 slips bear
ing numbers corresponding with the
serial numbers OF each registrant in
the largest district in the country
were drawn. From the 100000, the
local exemption boards will se'ect $751;
900 for the first draft army Of the
SOC, 1000 and 10 I'LL vacancies in the ma
tional guard and the regular army.
Reports from all sections of the
country indicated an intense interest,
but accompanied nowhere with dis
order. The country's young men were
apparently submitting TO n system
which they considered, with its auth
ors, the most common-sense way Of
effectively placing the nation in condi-
tion to peform the stern duties of the
moment. The silent acceptance of the
situation, as conveyed in dispatches
from every state, was in itself grim
commentary upon the work this coun-
try has set itself to perform.
Four hours after the drawing start
ed about 2,400 numbers had been
drawn and the tellers were slowing |
down to their work. This placed the
estimates as TO the time Of closing at
close to dawn this morning But as
the day wore on the system acquired
smoother running and at o'clock last
night with the 1000 mark passed, and
is numbers a minute being drawn, it |
was evident that the drawing would be
finished soon after midnight, as in fact
was the case.

proposes TO take no chances with Ger
man intrigues.
The Zimmerman Mexican-Japanese
plot and others convinced the nation
10 the extent to which Germany could
and would go. Now that war grows
daily nearer, the government natural
ly foresees the possibility Of trouble
within the nation, aimed at such vital
things as plants constructing ships or
munitions.
As for racial disturbances, that is re-
garded as possibility. If it comes, the
militia is the likely policing force to
cope with it. Reorganization Of the
country into six army departments, in
stead of four, was ordered that the
work ahead Of the army may be more
readily accomplished than under the

"As an army subsists chiefly on can.

that immediate steps be taken to re-
lieye the shortage.

approximately five billion cans of food

claim the demand for canned goods thi

hope to increase the output so per cen
over that of 1916.
