An incorrect impression prevai'ea
in certain quarters to the effect tha'
il would be necessary for the state
committee to mold special meeting
for the purpose of declaring these
candidates TO be the party noni-

that the chairman Of that body shall
make this declaration. and that the
committee shall notifT the electoral

such candidates.
These boards must be advised AT
least twenty days before the date OF

TO BUILD AEROPLANES AFTER LYLESS Shoes
Six Hats in the Ring for the Posi-
t;on of Market Master-Commis-
sioners of Sinking Fund Will Elect.

The position Of city market master
made vacant by the death Of Lambert
| D. Lyles, has already attracted SIX
candidates, and it is expected Others
will follow in their. wake. 1hose
who have already announced them
selves for the position are: Charles
P. Waller, George E. Price, Theophi-
lus Ballenger, Henry c. Carson,
James Martin and Harry Lyles, the
latter son of the former market
master. Lyles was circulating
his petition among country
people this morning. The position
pays s45 month, and will be filled by
the Commissioners Of the Sinking
Fund-Mayor Thomas A. Fisher, City
Auditor E. F. Price, City Treasurer
Thomas w. Robinson, F. +. Marbury,
President of che Board of Aldermen,
and Howard w. Smith, President of
the Common Council.
! In the ;olden times the position Of
market. master required many du-
ties, but the gradual falling off in
attendance at market as well as
buyers leaves but little in this day
for this official to do except on Sat-
urdays, when there is an increased
attendance of buyers and sellers. In
by-gone years, when country people
from all this section of Virginia as
we'll as from Prince Georges county,
Mo, on the opposite side Of the river,
attended .he Alexandria market, the
market masters duties were mani
fold. Thomas w. Wilmington, Henry
Wilmington, Charles L. Neale and
James w. Simpson were among those
who filled the position in the long ago.

TOMORROW'S DRAWING
Tremendous Task Before Press to
Print Names of Drafted Men.

Washington, July .19.-Brigadier-
General Crowder, the, provost-mar-
shal-general, was in conference yes
terday with newspaper correspond
ents. over arrangements f0. The.
draft drawing. The press is relied
upon to carry to individuals through
out the country the information as
to when they will be required to ap-
pear before exemption boards, and
for that reason every effort is being
made to suit the convenience of the
papers as to details.
The task of transmitting the long
lists Of numbers by telegraph is a
problem of considerable proper
tions, but the press associations and
telegraph companies are making eff
forts to insure both speed and abb
solute accuracy in Transmission.
There is more concern over the task
of the individual newspapers after
they receive by wire the results Of
the drawing. In large communities,
the problem of printing the serial
numbers with the names of the men
they represent in each district at
tached is one of staggering proper
tions.
In New York City, where there are
1s9 of the 1857 local exemption dis
tricts, a list of the names and num-
bers would fill several hundred news
paper pages. Even to give sufficient
names and numbers to cover those
| likely to be called to the colors I'M
mediately means enormous work.
While the provost-marslal-gen-
erals Office was busy clearing up the
last details for the drawing, the prob
| lem of alien regislrants, other than
enemy aliens, came before the SEN
ate in resolution introduced by
Senator Chamberlain, chairman OF
the Military Committee. 1t provides
/ for the drafting for military service
of citizens of countries at.'war with
Germany who are now residing IN
the United States upon the same
terms as American. citizens are liable
under the national army bill.
The resolution seeks to meet the
views of the State Department. how
ever, by excepting from its action
citizens of countries which have
treaties with the United States pro-
hibiting the enforced military en-
ployment of the nationals of each
party in the territory of the other

WILL FACE NICHAELIS.
New German Chancellor Must State
Position on -Annexations and In
IDENTITIES.

Amsterdam, July IA truculent,
masterful Reichstag will face DR..
! George Michaelis, the new imperial
chancellor, this afternoon. He sum
noned the session yesterday for "A
communication from the govern
ment." What that communication
will be no one among the German po-
litical leaders know. Few care. They
have communication of their oTn
tG make with an u.timatum appended
to it. The chanceilor's reply to that
ulLimatum will be the real news, the
biggest communication of the day.
There will be no escape from answer
ing, no chance for evasion.
In its sum and substance this is
the question:
".Are you for or against peace with
out annexations and ;ndemnities?"
And the challenge will be virtually:
answer yes or no.
Upon the answer will depend the
outcome of the whole political up
heaval within the Teuton empire.
Incidentally, it will signify wheth-
er DR.. George Michaelis, the first
"vonless" chancellor, will have
chance to steer the German ship of
state, manned by loyal crew solid
" behind him, out of the vortex OF
war into the port of peace, or wheth-
er .mutiny will drive him back into
The obscurity of his financial UNDER
secretaryship before he has even
taken hold of the wheel.
For this is the defiant message be-
tween the lines of every scrap OF
news from the Teuton capital: that

EIGHT years-backed by every con-
ceiyable confidence and support. IN

General Aeronautic Corporation Sc
cures Charter and Obtains Option
on Five Hundred Acres of Land.

The Gazette yesterday announced
that charter had been granted b!
the State Corporation Commission
to the General Aeronautic Corpora
ton of this city, with capital stock
Of 100000, the officers Of the cor,
poration being as follows: John Z
Graham, president; Kenneth W. Og-
den, treasurer, and H. E. Greene, Sec
retary, all of this city.
When interviewed by represen-
statiye of the Gazette this morning IN
regard to the new enterprise, Mr.
Ogden stated that while it was not
possible for him to give out much in
the way of details concerning 1t as
vet, it might be stated that New
York city capitalists are interested
in the company and that it is their
nurpose to organize and equip plant
for the building Of aeropianes as
soon as the work can be consum-
mated.
Mr.. Ogden further stated that ian
option for between five and six nun
dred acres of land had already been
secured near the city and that If the
nlans as now outlined worked out sat
isfactorily Alexandria would have an
aeroplane manufacturing plant here
within the near future. He said that
it is expected that at least six nun
dred skilled mechanics viii be en-
ployed and that it would mean pay
roll of approximately $4,000 per
week when the plant'is in full opera
ton.
The details For the establishing OF
the plant are now being worked out
and it appears that valuable
patents pertaining to the manufac-
ture of aeroplanes are already owned
by those interested in the enterprise
which will be made use of in the
building of the planes.
1t is hoped that the enterprise may
prove successful in every way as
manufacturing industry of the char
acter outlined would mean much for
the city of Alexandria. "
Another interesting statement made
by Mr.. Ogden was to the effect that
Alexandrians may look for still an
other promising. industry which he
hopes to see located here within the
next few months, the details of which
are not yet ready for the public.

Each Side to Controversy Partly
Yields Following Appeal to Patrlo-
tism.
Chicago, July .19-An appeal to
patriotism prevented great railroad
strike last night
Union labor officials, represented
5000 men already notified to strike,
and officials of the Rock Island
Lines, listened to the appeal Of gov
ernment officials. and met each other
part way.
In consequence, the road assumed
an annual obligation of wage in
creases amounting to more than ST.
100000. The union men sacrificed a
demand, which, in the event OF vic
tory, would have netted them nearly
$2,500,000 in increased pay.
The strike was called off when rep
resentatives of the bureau of concllla-
ton of the Federal Department OF
Labor arrived;cn the scene.
The strike order had been issued
following failure, after three months
of negotiations, to obtain acceptance
of the labor union demands for an
eight-hour day and a 10-cent an hour
increase in pay for all of the federat-
ed shopmen of the Rock Island sys-
tenn.
