Filling Additional Drafts.

Such additional drafts as may be or
dered by the President will be filled by
calling men in the order OF their es-
tablfshed priority and no further draw
ing will ever be necessary. Each local
upon notification by the governor Of
the quota to be raised by It, may pro-
ceed at once. under regulations already
promulgated. to summon men for ex-
animation.
We have now passed the stage in
the execution Of the selective service
act when we H7usS nave concert of ac-
tlon by the states. In raising state con-
tingents the race Is to the swiftest
II cannot let this opportunity pass
without adverting to the very great
value Of the assistance which has been
so earnestly and efficiently rendered by
the press.
Without the systematic campaign Of
public information that prepared the
country for the registration, the enroll
ment Of 100000 men on the 5th day
of June would have been impossible.
The generous support of the news
papers through the period since regis-
tration day is appreciated. and only
the most thorough efficiency could have
placed upon the streets. within a few
hours after the first number was drawn
lists for each registration district
showing the names Of the persons who
would be summoned for examination on
the first call of the local boards"
Gen. Crowder also made public the
text of the regulations for their ap-
plication. which will accompany the
master lists. The only new feature
shown is the plan for handling-eards
bers or are otherwise confused. and
also OF dealing with those received July
10, when the local boards closed their
lists to begin numbering.

Drawn by Additional Lottery.

By the plan worked out. these addi-
tional cards will be given an order Of
their own by lot and will then be added
to the lists of the districts from which
drawing precisely as though they had
been received and numbered before the
board lists were closed. Where several
cards bear the same serial number. one
will be drawn from the group and re-
tain the duplicated number, while the
others will be regarded as unnumbered
and the process of adding them to the
lists be followed.
Another step accomplished during
the day was the appointment of the
district boards in thirty-two of the
states and announcement of the names
Of the five men who will compose each
of them. Some states have six or eight
boards to ease the task, federal ju-
dicial districts, the areas used for geo-
graphical distribution of the boards
being divided into two or three sec
tions for that purpose and a separate
board named for each.
These district boards will have no
function until the local boards in their
territory have begun to certify to
them the men found fitted for military
duty physically and not burdened with
courts of appeal either for the in
dividual or for the government, against
the findings of the local board.
The whole question Of industrial ex-
directly to these district boards, which
have original jurisdiction in all cases OF
this kind. They will be sole judges Of

or in the munition factory. business

weighed on its merits and the value of
the individual. for there will be no blanket
exemption to cover other than divinity

Even they must file affidavits showing
their status. to be supported in such man
ner as the board may determine.
Minor Corrections to Be Made.
There will be also other minor cor
rections to make. Until the official list
is published. however. no definite state
ment of the probable number of revi-
sions can be. made. Indications are
that it will be very small and that the
tally sheets were kept SO carefully
that a practically perfect result was
obtained Immediately on the discovery
of the one missing number.
Men allotted by the drawing to be
among the first to appear in their dis
tricts to fill district quotas in the
force of $4,000 men the President has
will not be advised officially
to appear for examination before local
boards until the master list Of the ,
drawing has reached the local boards
The names Of those to come forward
will then be posted and any man who
fails to appear when notified will be
promptly hunted down and the penal
ties imposed for attempted evasion ex-
acted. officials anticipate that there
will be very few slackers. however.
The spirit shown in the registration
indicates that the draft will bring out
every man to whom it APPLIES without
further legal process.

Interesting War Figures

Roger Babson, the eminent statistician
has gathered the following figures from a
close study Of war casualties:
Fourteen men out OF everv 10 have
been safe so far.
Under present conditions, where man
power is being saved, no more than one
in thirty is killed.
Only one man in 500 loses a limh-a
nance no greater han in hazardous con-
ditions at home.
Mr.. Bahson's conclusions are based on
the mortality figures Of the French army
for the fnll three years of war, and atten-
tion is called to the fact that present
fighting is not resulting in anywhere near
the number Of deaths recorded for the
first two years.
lie says : Most of the wounds snstain-
ed in the trenches are clean cut and of
a nature that n few weeks in the hospital
makes the subject as fit as ever. But 800,
600 French soldiers have been discharged
ON account of wounds during the three
years of the war.
Fighting in the trenches, most of the
wounds are in the top of the head, simply
scalp wounds. Practically speaking,
a wound is either fatal or slight, will
but few in bel ween these two extremes"

John A. Dix Cantonment

The encampment of troops in different
parts of the United States are called
environments because the soldiers are
gathered at a corner from a group of com
munities.
The cantonment at Wrightstown, n.
j., has been named camp John A. Dix.
Few know who John A. Dix was. He
was born in New Hampshire in 1898 and
died in 1879. He entered the army in
1913 when only fifteen years old and
continued therein until 1928. Then he
studied law. From 1888 to 1910 he was
Secretary of State of New York and was
one of the members of the Albany Re
gency.
The Albany Regency was the name Civ
en- the group of politicians who from 1920
to 1854 managed the concerns of the
Democratic party in New York State.
Its power was founded on the system of
nominating conventions and on the sys-
TEN Of appointments to Office as a reward
for partisan services. Its chief members
were Martin VanBuren. William L.
Marcy, Silas Wright, Edwin Croswell,
BENJAMIN f. Butler and John A. Dix,
who did much to plan for the success of
the Democratic principles in that state
and in the nation.
In 1871 he was sent to the New York
Assembly and in 1915 he was elected
T.. S. Senator. In 1858 he was made
assistant treasurer of New York, but
soon resigned. In the last month of
President James Buchanans administra-
ton he was T.. S. Treasurer and aided
much to restore confidence in the Federal
Government because he was an ardent
WAR Democrat who favored prescott
ing the war to preserve the Union. In
1860 he was appointed Postmaster of
New York.
AT the outbreak of the Civil War he
was made Major General of the volun-
teers and was later raised to that rank
in the regular army.
In 1S67-6S he was minister to France.
He was elected Governor of New York
in 1872 which was his last public Office.
In 1874. Samuel J. Tilden. reform Dem
ocrat. defeated Gov. Dix for reelection
by 50.3'7 majority.
His bold. brave saying. IF anyone
pulls down the American flag shoot him
ON the spot" continues to be Il patriotic
motto. He said that after Colonel FL
mer +. Ellsworth had been shot by the
hotel proprietor in 1861 at Alexandria,
Va, after taking down a confederate
flag from the hotel. The shooting of Col.
Ellsworth caused such a patriotic indig-
nation thru the North and such admira-
ton for Col. Ellsworth's bravery that
numerous boy babes were named for
Elmer Ellsworth. Many who bear the
name of Elmer e. never know how they
came by that name.
The cantonment of soldiers at Wrights-
town as Camp John A. Dix. has been
given that name by the Wa Department
to keep alive the public service of that
man famous as a statesman and soldier
for sixty years.
The troops from New York State and
Northern Pennsylvania will be stationed
at Wrightstown, n. j.

Urging that the court be shorn of

at such action the courts should "ipso
faeto cease to exist"
Later, when Senator Owens re-
marks were repeated to him and he
was reminded that his remarks might
cause him to be called before the court
ter contempt, Senator Owen said:
dUEt Delleve they VIII 40 any
thing Of the sort. If they do subponea
me they will start something that will
shake this country to its foundation"
The senator's attack on the Supreme
court was uttered at the conclusion of
a speech made by Judge Wanamaker
of the Ohio supreme court, who, citing
the case of the Adamson law, said that
law passed by congress to prevent
a great clash was now being defled by
the railroad interests of the country,
while the Supreme court sat in judg-
ment ON the constitutionality of the
law.
