KIN GOVERNMENT; DEMAND
PRESIDENTS RESIGNATION.
Provisional Assembly OF kwang-Tuns,
in Assuring Its Loyal Support TO
President and Parliament, De-
mands Governors Resignation.

Pekin.-Eleven provinces of China,
including the province Chilli, In which
Pekin is situated, now no longer rec
ognize the authority of the Pekin gov
eminent. The provinces of Kwang-
Tung, Kwang-Si and Yun-Nan are sup
porting President Ii Yuan Hung.
The provisional assembly of Kwang-
Tung, in assuring it's loyal support to
the president and parliament, de-
mands that the military governor be
dismissed and punished. DIR, Sun Vat
Sen, former Premier Tang Shao-Yi and
other revolutionary leaders are pro-
seeding hurriedly to Canton.
The chief Of the gendarmie at Pc
kin has been requested to watch Pres
ident Ii Yuan-Hung, who presumably
is virtually prisoner and who is ex-
pected to resign forthwith. The mill
tarists have completely isolated Pekin.
The government has established
strict censorship on the telegraph lines.
7 It seems probable that should the
military governors persist in their
revolutionary course the three loyal
south China provinces named, Kwang-
Tung, KwaRgzSi and Yun-Nan, Will rise
in support. of the president. At pres
ent the situation is serious and the
president virtually powerless.

VIII BE Necessary to Draft at
Least 100000 Because of
Expected Exemptions.

Washington OF the war de-
partment to draft from 100000 to T.
10000 men Of the 100000 who it
is estimated were registered June S
for the new array, have been disclosed
by Provost Marshal General Crowder
to the senate military affairs commit
tee. Exemptions, he said, probably
would result in reducing the number
to 625,O00 men for immediate ser
vice.
While the war department had
originally planned to first select 5O0,-
900 men, General Crowder told the com
nittee plans have been revised
and it is now proposed to re-
quire 625,000. To secure this number,
he said, 1t probably win be necessary
to draft at least 100000 and possibly
100000 because of expected exemp-
lions.
General Crowder told the commit
tee the additional 125,OO0 will be need
ed to fill up vacancies In the army
and to keep training camps ia con-
tinuous operation. When the original
plans for service Of 10000 men
We're made, he said, the department
had not planned to send American
forces abroad so soon. Casualties
from foreign service, he believed, sick
ness, etc, make necessary reserve
Of $4,000 men, in addition to the
men on duty at training camps.
General Crowder told the committee
he favored immediate drafting of men
registering rather than postponement
of the draft for several weeks after
registration. He regards 1t desirable
that men drafted may know and can
have few weeks to make their per-
sonal arrangements before being called
to the colors.
Details of making exemptions also
were explained to the committee by
the provost marshal general. He said
the government does not contemplate
any class exemptions but that all will
be personal. Farmers, factory opera
tives and other special classes would
not be exempted as such nor territor.
Tally, but all exemptions will be made
individually.
The men drafted probably will be in
training camps by September /, Gen.
eral CrOwder said, and added that he
favored beginning selections within
two weeks after registration SO that
exemption work may be expedited and
notifications of final selections may be
made Us soon thereafter as possible.

WashingtOn.-The first of the adj

by the house, passed the senate on
Tune 2, without a record vote. Num-

the measure.
The bill as finally. accepted by the

stimulation Of agriculture, and re-
stricts drastically the storing of food

The bill carries a total appropriation
Of approximately $11 100000 compared

Hoarding or storage of food, fuel,

FLOWER OF NATION
LISTED FOR DRAFT
MORE THAN TEN MILLION YOUNG
AMERICANS ENROLLED FOR
WAR SERVICE.
The Manhood Of United States 0beys
the Presidents Call, Registration
Being 100 Per Cent spontaneous
and Without Murmur.

Washington.-MOre than 10,0OO, 600
young Americans enrolled themselves
on June 5 for war service. Regis
tration day. with but a few weeks of
preparation, saw the first military CEN
sus ever taken In the United States
completed without single untoward
event Of consequence.
The manhood of the nation obeyed
the presidents call and volunteered In
mass, setting at naught all the schemes
and plottings of German sympathizers
and the few cranks who have agitated
against registration. 1t remains but
to select the men who are to go to the
front.
In some precincts the late Corners
forced officials to keep the polls open
until long after the p. M. closing hour
set In the regulations. General Crow
der authorized them to keep open as
long as men wished to enroll them
selves. The result will be further to
delay the transmission OF returns,
however.
Early reports, showing a. full turn
out all over the country, indicated that
the estimates of the census bureau as
to the number of men within the spe-
Gifted age limits would be verified by
the count. Wherever partial figures
were available the estimates checked
closely.
A typical message received was that
from Idaho
Registration will be 100 per cent, .
1t said. Spontaneous and without
murmur or incident"
The situation was so clear and the
response so ready that governors of
forty-six of the forty-eight states had
sent similar assurances long before
registration had closed and the other
two were close on their heels.
A feature of the registration was the
refusal of hundreds Of thousands of men
to make any reply to the question :
do you claim exemption?" Even men
who reported that they had dependent
families; men with obvious physical
disabilities and those whose occupa-
tions are certain to keep them at home
declined to make such a claim. APP
parently they have entered fully into
the very spirit Of the law. They are
content to leave the question of OK
emption to the exemption boards.
