PICKETS Will
RESUME VIGILS
President Wilson Expected
to Allow Activities -Sa-
lutes Banner-Bearer.

Suffrage picketing in front of the
White House will again be counten-
anced by the Chief Executive. 1t was
freely intimated in official circles last
night
II is understood that as long as the
banners borne by the silent sentinels
who again take up their vigil at the
gates Of the Executive Mansion. are
neither reasonable nor seditious, the
appearance Of the eXponents of mill
tant suffrage will be permitted on
their old vantage ground.
Equal emphasis was laid on state
ments that should inscriptions upon
their banners be such as to incite the
crowd they would be compelled TO
take them down. Such scenes as have
been staged on the upper Avenue
within the past few weeks will never
again be re-enaCted at the gates OF
the Executive Mansion, unless per-
sJasive efforts of the administration
fail.
Eager to push forward any advan-
tage which might have been gained
through their reCCnet failing" expe-
Ticnce which seems to have again
placed the piCketing suffragettes in
the good Sraces of President Wilson.
Mrs. Allison TurnbuI Hopkins. one
of the pardoned prisoners, marched
from Cameron House to the Exec
utive Mansion late yesterday afternoon
and took her place at the east gate
in defiance of any interference by
the gathered thrOngs or molestation
from police authorities.
The inscription on the banner read
as follows: We do not ask pardon
for ourselves but justice for all Amer
icHn women"
Seven minutes after Miss Hopkins
had taken her place at the east gate
CT the White House. the Presidential
motor car slipped down the drive.
In the rear seat were the President
and Mrs. Wilson. As he passed the
banner he bowed. Mrs. Hopkins fac
ed the car with her banner. saluted
in precise fashion as the President
passed. and Immediately marched back
again to Cameron House.
The resumption of picketing Is un-
derstood to be under a tacit under
standing with the police and the
White House. The suffragists will
not be moIested as long as the banners
are unobjectiona bic. ,
Definite announcement was made at

en- rasse picket onslaught on the
White House either today or Monday.
II was made plain that there would
be not less than sixteen pickets in the
next party, with the possibility Of it
reaching twice that number.
Police protection will be expected
by the women. II is their aim TO make
the day Of the next picketing a red
letter one. inasmuch as it is thought
II will mark the resumption of silent
sentinel days New banners will be
used in the next picketinG date. as

DRAFT QUICKLY
HANDLED HERE
Provost Marshal Donovan
Will Notify Those Drawn
Monday or Tuesday.

There was no class distinction in
the selection OF the Districts quota
Of the conscrintion army yesterday.
Millionaire's sons and plain ordinary
colored porters all figured in the
number drawn in the egreat selective
draft lottery.
One or two Cinnamon, quite a few
whose permanent home for some time
will be at Occoquan, and many more
whose shooting experience has been
with a hypodermic needle were among
the lists Of those drawn TO face the
doctors and the exemption boards.
There was such a noticeable num-
her of foreign names in the first list
Of l.Ss prospective soldiers that it
seems certain that the 2J0 per cent
named in the first choice will not
determine the 9e9 who will represent
the District in the army.
Under the system. the first 1.S5S ap-
pliCants will be examined within the
next 10 days They will be divided
into groups OF three. The first third

When the first quota has been ex-
hausted. the second group Of men
Will be notified to appear. District
officials, while not speaking with au-
thority. claim that the 929 required
for the full quota will be secured
from the first two groups.
Provost Marshal Donovan with a bat
tcry of II stenographers and - clerks
had the registration and draft ma
chinery OF the District working like
well-oiled engine.
The work OF notifying the men Sc
lected will be completed so that sthc
notices to appear for examination will
be sent out Monday or Tuesday.
Washington was buzzing like a bee
hive last night in the downtown sec
tion before the rain as a result Of
the feeling of the mass OF citizens
who were affected by the draft. Ninth
street and Pennsylvania avenue gave
an appearance Of Inauguration week or
the week Of the reunion. Even the
rain did not drive citizens home for
they we're anxious to discuss the all
absorbing topic with their friends.

Mrs. Eopolucci declared last night
that although she knew that all
mothers held out some last thread of
hope for the return of their lost
sons, she was practically certain that
her son, John, had been picked up
by a German submarine and trans
ported to Germany as a prisoner of
war.
Meanwhile, she says. she will wait
and hope for the return of her lost
son, trusting in the providence which
is supposed to look out especially for
the sons of widows.

GERMANYS AIM
NOT CONQUEST
Michaelis, in Maiden Speech,
States Policy on Which
Country Seeks Peace.
CBy the International News servIce.)

(By the International News Serytce.D
Amsterdam. July 2O-Not conquess
or annexations. but territorial read
jUstment. constitutes the peace terms
of Germany and her allies.
DIR. George Michaclis. in his maiden
sFecch before the ReiChstag yester-
day. announced this to the world. He
said
I'VE must. b. means Of understand
ing and in a spirit of give and take,
guarantee conditions of the existence
OF the German empire. upon the con-
tinent and overseas.
Germany did not desire the war in
order to make violent Conquests. and
, therefore, will not continue the war
a day longer merely for the sake of
such conquests. if it could obtain an
honorable peace"
The sweeping victory Of the tri-
PARTY bloc in the ReiChstag became
a fact at yesterdays momentous ses-
sion, details of which did not filter
through the Berlin censorship until
today.
Chancellor Bows to ReIchstRg.
As was foreshadowed, the result of
the session is that the Reichstag's
majority. not a military or political
dictator, or "stop-gap," are in su-
preme control.
For the first time in the empires
history an imperial chancellor has
been forced to bow to the Parliament
as its servant. instead of debating to
it as its master. The majority peace
resolution was passed 2i4 to 1l6. Sew
enteen deputies abstained from voting.
The chancellor himself subscribed
to the resolution. The party leaders
accepted his Interpretation. II also
became known for the first time that
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg had
indorsec It. The resolution means
that Germany and her allies invite
their enemies to bargain over all that
has been lost and gained during the
war.
Makes Big Concession.
With regard to internal reforms the
chancellor met the reformists only
half way. Nevertheless he announced
one epoch-making concession.
He promised to call into leading
executive positions, men who possess
the confidence of the great parties
in the peoples representative" He
said he naturally stood on the Kai-
scr's rescript of July II, abolishirg
the three-class vote in Prussia.
He stood firm. however. upon "the
constitutional right of the imperial
administration to conduct our policy"
The other side" he added, must
acknowledge that this right must not
be narrowed.
The compromise became complete
when the center party. through its
spokesman. announced after the chan
Cellor's speech:
We will fully protect the rights Of
the federated states and the En-
peror."
