of the large banks. He is an excellent
accountant and men like MACK" are
in demand. He will hold down the
job for the present but in the mean

rather serve. His many friends wish
him success in his new location.

Rx webb Miller.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington. June 2O--AIen drafted
into the new armies by seiective con-
take their chances as to the branch of
service in which they want to serve
An announcement by Provost General
Crowder today stated that the assign
ments to the different branches will be
made at the discretion of the war de-
partment.
Most of the men brought into the
army by selection are for the infantry.
The draft is for the army alone-in no
cases are the men to be assigned to the
navy.
In the proclamation of exemption
regulars by President Wilson, provisions
are made for physical examination of
men drawn for service who are absent
from the place Of registration.
The war department places the burd-
en- of learning whether or not they are
drafted wholly uponNthe absentees. 1t
was suggested today that they make ar
rangements with friends to notify them
at once if drawn by the lottery.
Another official announcement eau
tions eligible men that because they
escape the first or subsequent levies,
they are not released from liability to
service.
Absentees are warned that the gov
ernment cannot pay their expenses or
reimburse them for travelling expenses
incident to reporting for physical ex-
aminations for actual service.
Thousands OF wanderers" who reg
istered by mail in their home towns are
affected by this order.
General Crowder points out that there
are two kinds of exemptions, permanent
and conditional. All occupational ex-
emptions will probably be conditional
and the exemption will cease when the
holder changes into another industry.

SWITZERLAND FIRES
FOREIGN MINISTER
His Activities In Aiding Ger
many We're Violation of
Neutrality

Paris, June 20.-French newspapers
today hailed the resignation of M. Hoff
mann from the Swiss confederated coun
ell as marking the end of the long con-
tinued Swiss peace moves, some of
which have been so persistent as to
create irritation in allied countries.
Hoffman, Is retirement was directly
due to his transmission of German sep
arate peace bait to Petrograd and was
forced by the demand of a number of
Swiss newspapers, who saw in such a
move a breach of neutrality likely to
give affront to allied nations. Dis
patches from Berne today indicated
that the Swiss foreign department
would hereafter probably be under di-
rect control of the Swiss president, M.
Schulthess.
Swiss newspapers have recently been
bitter in their comment on Hoffmanns
linking in foreign intrigue. Hoff-
mann IS place in the Swiss federated
council was that of federal councillor
and chief Of the political department.
a post corresponding to foreign minis
ter. Robert Grimm, the Swiss socialist,
who bore to Petrograd the German
separate peace proposals, has been de-
ported from Russia and the Russian
government, it was understood today,
has withdrawn from the Swiss minister
at Petrograd the right to communicate
with Berne in code.
Presumably Swiss Minister Ritter at
Washington was acting under instruc-
tions from Hoffman, when his persist
ent attempts to foster German contriv-
ed. peace plans shortly after America Is

ed considerable adverse comment in the
United States.

ent to make the sovereign will of the

The government parties have
heretofore never been able to unite but
recent reports that new ministry of
anti pro-German was projected, com
bined with the paralysis of industry
throughout the country, brought all
factions together. One other factor, it
was reported, was the ease with which
the military forces wrung concessions
from the government, indicating in
view of the agitators, that the mon
archy was aware Of its own weakness.
London newspapers express intense
interest in the outcome. Germany has
long poured golden stream of money
into propaganda work in Spain. One
feature of the situation which caused
considerable satisfaction here was the
apparent dissatisfaction throughout
Spain with the Germanophile court

ally king

lnorthward.
Government control has been forced
upon both the allies and Germany in
varying forms and this nation, the COM
mission says, can learn lesson from
their experience.
The commission, in its report, pointed
to the fact that the country is facing
a nationwide coal famine in recon-
mending that the government take over
all coal transportation facilities, land
and water, and operate them on govern
ment account.
The commission suggested that coal
producers be paid their full cost of pro.
duction plus uniform profit per ton
and that the transportation agencies
be pooled and operated under direction
of the president, all such means being
operated as unit, the government to
pay a fair compensation, based on
normal profits and cost Of upkeep.
Among the serious aspects of the sit
uation, the commission points to these
important facts:
The enormous stacks of fuel which
onOuAA HdfC ONC1 up the
summer months, particularly in the
northwest, are not being built up, with
the result that next winter will see
coal famines in that region.
That the barge service which carries
fuel for New England has been divert
ed and no longer is carrying coal, with
threatened coal shortage for New Eng
land factories.
That water carriers on the Great
Lakes, which should be carrying coal
west, are returning empty because of
the failure Of rail transportation.
That mine labor is dlsorganized, ow-
ing to irregularity of employment due
to irregular car supply.
That SPECTATORS are getting undue
prices for coal, and finally, that the sit
uation IS not being remedied by the
volunteer arrangement undertaken BY
the Council Of National Defense; nor
is the situation likely to be remedied
by any plan adopted voluntarily by the
railroads.
The commission points to the expe-
riences of all the nations engaged in
war and recommends the adoption OF
the remedies they have had to adopt.

met here with Joseph p. Cotton, Meat
Administrator.
Members of the associations agreed
with Arthur Meeker, of Armour &
Co., that the abstinence from eating
wheat and meat products ON specific
days was an unnecessary sacrifice.
Mr.. Meeker declared that shortage
exists now only in the supply of pork.
He said stocks of beef were piling up
in the coolers of packing houses and
that there was an adequate supply of
beef and mutton on hand to meet all
demands without decrease of domes-
tic consumption.
1t was said that exports of beef had
not increased greatly during the war.
A decrease in the use of pork and its
products, however, was urged.
The associations representatives
adopted resolutions agreeing to CO.

way possible to aid in the stabiliza-
ton of the live stock industry during
the war.

3 ARE DEAD IN BLAST; GERMAN
PLOT ALLEGED

Pittsburg, December 5-Nine men
were killed, two are missing, and
more than twenty-five were inquired,
many of them seriously late today by
an explosion that wrecked the "The
T. n. T." plant of the Aetna Chemi-
sal Company, at Heidelburg. The ex-
plosion did damage estimated at $780,
400 to the plant and shattered win
lows in factories and homes for a
radius of nearly two miles. All of the
dead and injured are employees of the
company.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined. 1t occurred in the
drying department in one of the eight
$4,000 gallon tanks in which trini-
trotoloul, a powerful explosive. was
being boiled.
Many of those injured owe their
lives to prompt medical aid which
was summoned by Grace Lyons, a
telephone operator, who stayed at her
witchboard in the rear of the wreck
ed plant and telephoned hospitals and
physicians.
The bodies of five of the workmen
killed have been identified.
The first explosion occurred at
3:12 o'clock just few minutes after
Paul Hill, the superintendent of the
drying department, had made an in
spection. There were fifteen men
working near the tank at the time. As
Hill turned to walk away the tank
Exploded. Hill was burned and bruis-
ed by the explosion but not serious
ly injured. Seven of the eight large
tanks in the plant were blown out
through the steel roofing.
The building which was Of brick,
one story In height and $50 feet by
100 feet, was completely wrecked by
the explosion.
No sooner was the explosion over
than employees who had escaped in
jury, rushed into the debris to re-
move the dead and injured, despite
the fact that rain of acid burned
through their clothes and into the
skin. Many Of the bodies we're char
red, some beyond recognition.
Coroner Samuel C Iamison, detec-
tives and assistants arrived on the
scene shortly after the explosion. II
Twas stated tonight that thoroush In

pounds of "T. N. T." is said, and addi-
tiOns were being made to the new
plant in order to facilitate the work.
Most of the workmen are said to have
been on twelve hour shifts.
1t is said that about two weeks ago
officials of the company were warn
ed by Pittsburg detective that a
German sympathizer was going to

description of the man is said to have
been furnished the company and it
is claimed that man answering the
description applied for work a week
later officials refuse to say whether
the man suspected was given work.
