WASHINGTON, July %. - Con-
gress is going 20 order the drafting
OF all aliens OF military age. except
subjects OF the central powers. un-
less the state department. which has

making foreigners living in the

their share OF the draft burden here.
Particularly is this sentiment strong
among Representatives and senators

There seems TO be something strange
about the man, say detectives, be-
cause he was apparently an eN-
perienccd hand at burglary. but was
exceedingly clumsy the night of his
arrest
Since there is chance that he
may be deserter from the Cana

20 go 90 prison rather than return

the fact that ne admitted his guilt
readily However. if that is his in
