Washington.-An exhaustive inquiry
Into production prices and transporta-
ton of coal, steel, copper and other ba-
sic materials, of which government SUI
pervision may be proposed during the
war, was decided upon by the senate
interstate commerce committee.
The Federal trade commission will
be asked soon by President Denman,
of the emergency fleet corporation, to
fix a uniform price for steel and steel
products for all industries throughout
the country.
The commission will be asked to
name fair price which will afford the
producers a fair profit not only on
steel, but on pig iron, iron ore and ev-
cry other material entering into the
manufacture of steel.
The method of procedure will be for
the commission to suggest to all iron
and steel manufacturers and ore pro-
ducers that they unite and name a
price themselves, subject to the COM
missions approval, Should they de-
cline TO adopt this course the govern
ment has power to commander the

Washing tOn.-Follown receipt Of
registration returns from Wyoming
and Kentucky, making the nations
final total enrolment 9,649, 938, Provost
Marshal Gen. Crowder announces that
draft regulations will be ready for pub
1ication July |, two months before the
first call to the colors. Details of the
machinery governing exemption boards
were not disclosed.
In addition to the regularly tabulat-
ed totals, 6,001 Indians OF eligible age
were enrolled. Making allowances for
the 100000 or more men already in
military or naval service, not required
to register, the provost marshal gen.
erals office figured the census bureau
estimate Of 1O,375,60 eigibles as ap-
proximately correct.
Gen. Crowder foresees no more com
plications with the selection and ex-
emption machinery than was expert
enced with registration. Secretary Ba-
ker repeatedly has given assurance the
selection system will be so fair that
there would be no ground for fears
that any man will be favored by reason
Of political or other relations.
In order that neighborhood knowl-
edge of mans work and his depend
ents might aid in the task of sending
to the front men who can be spared at

U-B0ATS TAKE HEAVY TOLL
Weekly List of Losses Show That
Drastic Measures Must Be
Resorted to.

London.-The weekly list of British
losses in torpedoed ships, show the
highest total of many weeks; the, mum.
ber Of ships sunk being comparable to
the worst week since the ruthless U.
boat campaign began. The returns,
week by week, for the last three
months show that the U-boat activi.
ties run in waves, and it is assumed
that this week is the crest of a period
of super-activity noticed the previous
week.
The past week includes one day
which is regarded as a record for the
number of vessels lost. The situation
however, is not regarded over pessi.
mistically by naval men who insist
that the admiralty methods oil fighting

DELAYS DRAFT OF GUARDS
National Guards May Not Be Called
Into Federal Service Before
August 3.

Washington Drafting Of the ma.

Tor war service may be delayed until
Aug. because il has been found that
under the present plans for drafting
the guard in three increments, July Is,
July 20 and Aug, 5, the relative rank of
It's officers would be established on an
unfair basis, The national defense act
provides that national guard Officers
shall take rank as of the date of draft.
The additional time gained by post.

valuable to the department in making

Makes Final Appeal Before

Washington.-President Wilson ha!
issued proclamation designating the
week of June 1880 as recruiting weel
for the regular army and calls upor
unmarried men without dependents tC
enroll for war service in order thai
the ranks of the regulars might be
filled promptly,
This was the presidents first call
for volunteers in connection with the
war. The proclamation follows:
Proclamation by the President.
Il hereby designate the period
OF June % to June 80, next, as re.
cruiting week for the regular
army and call upon unmarried
men between the ages of lS and
40 years who have no dependents
and who are not engaged in pur-
suits vitally necessary to the pros
ecution of the war to present them
selves for enlistment during the
week herein designated to the
number of 10000.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON"
The presidents action was taken a.
the request of army officials who have
been seriously concerned over the slow
rate of recruiting for the regular army
despite the fact that the war depart.
ments recruiting agencies cover ev.
cry section of the country and that
the men are asked to serve only for
the period Of the war. II had been
hoped that the regular service could
be brought to its whole war strength
of approximately 100000 men by June
so, which would have permitted the
war department to carry out it's plan
in regard to the training of all the
forces to be raised and also as to the
dispatch of armies to France.
For several days, however, the av.
erage enrolment for the army per
day has been little more than 1000
men instead of the 5000 or more the
department hoped to secure.
The army is now in the neighbor.
hood Of 10000 men short of war
strength, and the presidents call the
first he has made directly for war
volunteers, is designed to fill in this
gap as quickly as possible.
