 Salaried Members.

Washington, July 19.-The admins
 tration's food control bill today ap- preached final form in the senate. Making rapid progress under linn | ited debate agreement the approved, 60 to 16, an amendment to limit gov ernment control to food, feed and fuel including kerosene and gasoline, and to vest the administrative authority in three salaried members instead of single individual.
 Although the action will be subject to reconsideration before Saturdays $ final vote on the bill, it is expected by the leaders to stand and to be ac- cepted by the house in conference. Tomorrow the senate expects to dispose of the modified federal li- censes section and that fixing a min imum price for wheat.
 The amendments limiting the nec- essaries for government control and providing for the food board was writ ten into the bill after many futile at- |tempts were made to name other ar |ticles for government regulation.

Petrograd, July 19.-Disturbances similar to those in Petrograd also took place in Kiev. Five thousand Dikrain soldiers seized the Kiev arsenal, but according to the latest reports prompt measures by the general in command resulted in the men evacuating the ar senal and the restroation of order.
 With the repentance of the military element concerned in the demonstra- tion and their repudiation of the cause in which they temporarily enlisted, the danger of further disturbances by the Maximilists appears to be over for the time being.
 Today the city is normal. As a safe guard, the bridge spans remained open this morning, as they did yesterday Troops are being kept in readiness fo, any trouble that might arise. /,

Drawing Plans Are Changed,
 But Iii Will Be Held Today
At the Eleventh Hour Disc every of Manner in Which Certain Boards Nulnbere d Cards Make Rearrange ment of System Nee essary For Fair Treat
 ment to All Regstrants.

Washington, July 19--Plans for the drawing, which will be held tomorrow
 to fix the order of military liability for nearly 10.G00,000 registered men thrIot the country, were materially changed late today, and the intricate method of double drawing worked out by officials to lessen the physical task was abandoned.
 Instead of process requiring not more than an hour, and involving one set of numbers from 1 to 1000, and another from to 10, it will be neces- sary to draw one at time at least 1O,263 numbers. Probably, tt make certain that every registrant in the largest district is placed, 1O,5O0 draw ings will be made. It will require at least 1Ok hours, and officials in charge believe it will take twelve hours. The process will begin at 9:3O a. m. '
 General Crowder Explains.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder explained the abandonment of the double drawing plan in a statement as follows:
 "Advices received by long distance telephone this afternoon indicate that in certain areas the boards in num- bering registration cards have kept the cards segregated by election dis tricts and that serial numbers had been assigned to the whole group for a board while the cards were thus segregated.
 "If the drawing is conducted as originally planned, in groups of 1000, the result will be that considerable proportions of certain election dis tricts will be brought up for exami- nation together. This will result in drafting persons from one locality
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-07-20

within the jurisdiction of a board be- fore any persons is drawn from another locality within the same Jurisdiction For this reason, 1t has
 been decided to abandon the drawing by 1000 and to draw 10,500 numbers, which is in excess of the highest number of cards under the iurisdic- tion of any board The only change in the plan will be that there will be one drawing instead of two. The ad vantage will be greater simplicity. the disadvantage will be that the draw ing will require 10 hours to com plete."
 The numbers will be publicly ar- nounced for telegraphing to- the news papers over the country as fast as drawn.
 The drafting tomorrow was fixed at 1O,5OO numbers because an exemp- ton district in Lansing, Mich. has 1O,263 registered men, That is the largest district on record here. Sev- en states have failed thus far to re- port their maximum districts, how ever, and 10,50O names will be drawn to take care of the improbable pos sibiity that a larger district will show up later.
 Alabama, first state on the roster of the union, reports it's largest exemp- ton district as containing 6,925 regis trants. Then, in the drawing tomor- row. the numbers 6,926 to 1O,5OO in- elusive can be disregarded entirely, so far as Alabama is concerned By the same process, Arkansas has no interest in numbers above 5,052.
 The states whose maximum districts are not yet reported are Georgia, Lou isiaa, Mississippi, Massachusetts, Mis- souri, Texas and Vermont.

have sent comparatively few men into tho regular army and the national guard since the organization to war strength was started, hence she stands today at the top of the list for the state, SO far as her quota Is con- cerned. Pulaski county's quota Is 453, the county having obtained great benefit through the large number of her sons who have entered the ser- vice voluntarily. The same statement covers Sebastian county.
 The city's quota figures as 170, while from the county outside the city 314 men will be drawn.

Germans Get Set.Back.

French Front in France, July 1S.-- i(By the Associated Press)-The crown princes army suffered the rudest shock when the French yes terday attacked and recaptured all the positions northwest of Verdun. These cost the Germans much hard fighting when they took them from the French. The affair cost the Germans not only the loss of their former conquest ana about 800 prisoners, but the French cut in their line and repeated coun- ter-attacks by the Germans failed to recover any part thereof and result ed even in more losses. The Ger mans when they advanced at the end of June obtained possession of num- ber of observatories giving them views of the French lines. The Ger mans have been for several days ex- pecting the French would try to shell them out, but did not expect an 1n- fantry attack.
 It was while relief was proceeding that the French attacked. In feW seconds they had surmounted the ob- structions separating the armies and disappeared down the other side. Be fore the Germans could recover the French were within the third line Of German trenches. The enemy's dis order was SO great that the French were able to gather many prisoners and dashed even further forward than they intended and occupied German ground on 1,000-yard front of what had been French position be- fore the German attack in June.
 The French now hold all the obser- vatories overlooking the slopes of Le Mort Homme and Hill BOA. The whole engagement lasted only 30 minutes The first German reaction occurred unsuccessfully 12 hours later.

Great Britain's' Starvation Blockade Compelled Use
 of U- Boats, He Says.
SUBS HAVE DONE MORE THAN EXPECTED
Dr. GeOrg Michaelis, fin First Address SiEcr Appointment to Chancellor. ship Takes Position Heretofore
 Held By Untra Pan.Germans.

Copenhagen, July 19.-Dr. Mi- chaelis, the German imperial chancel- Tor, in his address to the reichstag Thursday afternoon, declared his ad- hesion to Germany's submarine cam- paign, asserting it to be lawful measure, justifiably adopted for short- ening the war.
 Dr. Michaelis opened his speech with a hearty tribute to von Bethmann- Hollweg, retiring imperial chancellor, whose work, he said, history would appreciate.
 The chancellor declared the war was forced upon unwilling Germany by the Russian mobilization, and that the submarine war was also forced upon Germany by Great Britain's illegal blockade starvation war. I The faint hope that America. as the head of the neutrals, would check Great Britain's illegality was vain. Germany's final attempt to avoid the extremity by her peace offer fail- ed, and the submarine campaign was adopted, said the chancellor. The submarine, the speaker contin. ued, had done all and more than had been expected, and the false prophets who had predicted the end of the war at definite time had done disser- vice to the Fatherland.

STATES INVITED ATTEND

American Representatives Wanted at Conference at
 Paris During Month.

Washington, July 19.-The Unite>l States has been officially invited by the allied governments to partici- pate in the inter-allied conference to be held in Paris some time this month, but has decided that for the present it will not be necessary to take part in such meetings not di- rectly affecting this country's part ill the war.
 It was officially explained at the state department that while this course was followed at present, it was not to be taken as an indication of permanent policy,
 The Paris conference was stated III invitation to be largely military and upon the Balkan situation. The United States at present has no direct interest in that question, it was stated, except as it reacts on the whole war situation. It is not deem- ed necessary for this country to in- terefere in military and diplomatic questions with which it has no inn mediate concern.
 Nevertheless, it is realized as a final settlement of the world war is reached the voice of the United States will have to become increas- ingly important in its attempt to se- cure a just peace which shall free the world from causes of future wars On that basis the government Is ex- amining the various plans of recon struction suggested and will, when il deems the moment ripe, suggest equitable adjustment
 As yet few details of the Paris con ference have been received here, bu' it is understood it will discuss the whole Balkan question in view o1 Greece's active entrance into the war which changes both the military and the diplomatic situation there. The Saloniki campaign is known to be one of the subjects for discussion and il is presumed that the advisability o1 advance there, aided by Greece's forces, is the main consideration. Al ready the allies have more than 7O0,' i, 900 men in that sector, with Greece able to add another 250,000 as soor as they can be mobilized ane equipped. Similarly, Greece's entry into tho war nrcessitates readjustment II the diplomatic situation, especially a! Greece and Italy have not been II perfect accord as to the Balkans.

Associated Press Summary


 Having brought up heavy reinforce ments all along the line, the Germans and Austro-Hungarians in Galicia have started what apparently is a tremendous offensive in this direc- tion From Brody, near the north eastern border of Galicia, southward to below kalusZ, the operations are in full swing, but have not yet de- yeloped to an extent where particu- lars of the battle in their entirety are available.
 The latest German official com munication announces that the Ger mans have accepted the gauge of bat tie thrust upon them by the Russians, and in counter attacks on the line guarding Lemberg from the east have defeated the Russians over a wide front near Zlochoff, which lies on tho Tarnopol-Lemberg railway line, about 40 miles distant from the capital.
 To the north, in Volhynia, and still further north, on various sectors, especially around Smordon and Dvinsk, heavy artillery duels are being fought Near Lutsk in the fam- ous Volhynian fortress triangle, the Germans report the capture of many prisoners.
 Apparently the Germans are intent rpon breaking the French line in the region between Soissons and Rheims, having delivered another tremendous assault from northeast of Craonne to the east of Hertchis. In the fray were thrown picked troops, who were mown down, and the attacks, like others that preced them, failed.
 Near St. Quentin, where for some time the situation has been calm, the Germans also delivered attacks on a front of about half mile. Here they succeeded in penetrating French first line positions, only to be expelled from them in counter attacks.
 There has been no diminution in the artillery duels between the British and Germans in northern Belgian nor in the ceaseles small attacks the British have been making against German trenches for many days Around Monchy-le-Preux, these in fantry. attacks have resulted in the British retaking all the ground they lost to the Germans on July z.
 The British forces operating against the Turks have made Emile ad- vance up the Euphrates river, while in the Caucasus region the Russians have carried out successful raids against the Ottomans.
 Reports from Petrograd indicate that the disturbances of the last few days have been quelled and the situa- tion now is well in hand. One report is to the effect that there has been a discussion in an extraordinary cabi- net council of proposal to transfer the seat of the provisional govern ment to Moscow.

Guinea Pigs Inoculated With Culture Obtained
 From Suspected Adhesive

Kansas City, July 19.-With free rein given them by the attorney gen. eral of the United States to go to any length and expense to run down and disclose alleged court plaster plots, believed to have been started in Kan sas to spread an epidemic over that state, Fred T. Robertson, United States district attorney for Kansas, and his associates, tonight were bend- ing efforts to reveal whether the SUD- posed machinations were part of an organized system of German terror ization propaganda. Ten guinea pigs were inoculated with culture obtained from samples of the suspected adhesive, which gov ernment bacteriologists have declared contain baccilli of tetanus, and reac- tions tre expected within two or three days, it was said.
 Of the three men arrested in as many towns in Kansas, charged with peddling or giving away court plas- ters, one-at Iola-has been released, all of his wares being declared harm less, after investigation by govern ment chemists. Another peddler, held at Clay Center, probably will be re- leased shortly, Mir. Robertson declar- ed tonight.
