NEW YORK, July 6.-For the fourth
time since America entered the war New
York city today had as it's guests the
members Of a foreign mission. The
honor Of military escort, not accorded
other distinguished visitors in the last

Of sailors and marines from the New York
navy yard and a detachment of regular

signed to escort the visitors from the
Battery to city hall. where the official
reception will take place. Tomorrow the
commissioners will attend mass meet
ing. which is to be in the nature Of a
reception rendered by Russian residents of
the city.
Doubt as to the flag to be displayed in
honor OF the visitors was settled by Mayor

national emblem Of the old regime should
be used to decorate the city hall
The Russians were due to arrive at the
Battery at about $50 o'clock this after

Senator Robinson urged that such a

because It imposes upon the President

and which Congress ought to exercise
itself whenever conditions justify or
require"
Senator Robinson said that the COM
mittee amendment would also be sub
ject to criticism because It conferred
great political power and influences upon
the President.
at is urged that tho existence of
authority of the President to confscate
hundreds OF millions OF dollars worth

SAYS IF BREWING STOPS
BREAD PRICES WILL GO UP
Representative Longworth Quotes
Official Of Yeast Manufactures in
Support Of Contention.

Stop the brewing of beer, and up goes
the price of bread again.
At least, that is what Representative
Mick" Longworth of Ohio said on the
House floor this afternoon in a ten
minute speech.
The prohibition of beer manufacture,
he said. would INN ediately effect a 40
percent decrease in the output of
yeast, with corresponding shortage
in the bread supply and correspond
ing enhancement in the price of this
absolute necessity.
Mr.. Longworth read a letter from an
official Of a firm, which, according to
Herbert c. Hoover. supplies half the yeast
in the United States. The yeast expert
said that malt sprouts are an absolute
necessity in the making of yeast; that
malt sprouts are obtained only from
the mailing of barley and that barley
is only matted for the making Of beer
He figured, according to Mr.. Longworth,
that 1t would be many years before
new methods and new machinery could
be found to make UP for the old supply.

COMPLETING FINAL
DETAESF DRAWING
Officials Plan for Method in
Selecting Registrars for
New Army.
TO BE HELD IN WASHINGTON

Secretary Baker and Provost Mar
shall Gen. Crowder today were COM
pleting the final details of the method
to be employed in selecting regiments
for the new national army, but the date
of the drawing has not yet been an
nounced.
1 Complete organization Of every local
and district exemption board is neces-
sary before the draft machinery can
begin to operate. The drawings will be
in Washington and Indications point to
the use of numbers instead of names
lin making selections.
AS there will be exemptions among
the drafted before the first increment
of 625,000 men can actually be assem-
bled, necessarily more than that num-
her of names will be drafted on the
first operation.
1t is probable that as many as a
million or two million names might
be drawn, and from them exemptions
will be made. Then the first army of
625,000 men will be- formed. Other
troops will be drawn from the re-
mainder until it is decided to raise
another increment
