BAKER OPENS DRAFT DRAWING
Secretary of War Explains Briefly tina
Care Taken in Arrange
ments.

Washingt0n.-Secre Baker made
a short address in opening the selec-
tive army drawing ceremonies. He
said:
1--WE have met this morning to con-
duct the lot or draft by which the ma
tional army and such additions as may
be necessary to bring the regular army
and the National guard up to war
strength. are to be selected. This is
an occasion of very great dignity and
some soemnity. 1t represents the first
application of a principle, believed
by many Of us to be thoroughly demo-
cratic, equal and fair in selecting sol.
diers to defend the national honor
abroad and at home.
81 take this occasion to say that
every step has been most honestly
studied with view not only to pre-
serving throughout the utmost fair
ness in the selection, but also to pre-
serve all those appearances of fair
ness which are necessary to satisfy
the country that this great selection
has been made in accordance with
every principle of justice
'There are assembled here this
morning. in addition to officers of the
army. who are going TO conduct for
the most part the mechanical part Of
the work, the chief of staff, the adju-'
tant general and other men high in
the military establishment, and the
drawing is to be held under the OBJ
servation of the senate and house
military committees, so that both the
executive and legislative branches or
the government are here to see that
fairness is given to every person"

The RUSSIAN ARMY
SITUATION SERIOUS
COLLAPSE OF RUsslA's ARMY TO
HAVE DIRECT BEARING ON
THE UNITED STATES.
Germans Alone Gained Strategic Pc.
sition In Recent Turn on West
Front, Officers say-AIlies Must
Land Back of Teutonic Lines.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-No attempt is made
here to minimize the seriousness OF
the situation in the war theaters in
Europe. The United States is in the
war and will go through with it; but
any hope of a short struggle has gone
glimmering with the apparent almost
complete collapse of the Russian war
machine. The development was not
unexpected by many army officers.
When the offensive of July / was
started by the Russian forces the most
frequent comment heard here was that
it probably was the dying kick of the
old Russian machine. Most observers
were frankly skeptical that it could
produce any decided results. For the
United States the Russian collapse
may have an immediate and direct
bearing. 1t will, if the German Cen
eral staff presses its advantage, re-
lease additional German forces to boil
ster up the western 1ront, where
American troops are to be engaged,
The German line in the west has not
been seriously impaired at any point,
officers here believe.
They do not claim to know specific.
ally the situation all along the battle
front, but they are unable to see that
the British and French have wrested
from the Germans any key position OF
such importance that it can be used
next year to hurl the enemy back to-
ward the Rhine.
1t has been noted, in fact, that the
one strategic advantage gained in re-
cent fighting was gained by the Ger
mans. Many officers here believe that
when a small sector of the British line
in Belgium is overwhelmed, and it's de-
tenders nearly all captureo or killed
the Germans improved the situation
on their weakest front materially
That view is based on opinion that
the only hope of decisive attachments
for the allies in the west lies in roll
ing up the German right flank, where
it reaches the sea in Belgium. If thai
could be done, it is argued that the
! U-boat bases could be stamped out
and the only offensive instrument o.
the Germans be eliminated entirety
or so seriously impaired as to make il
| ineffective.

IDEA JUST SUITED DR.. HALE
Famous Minister Declares That He
Had Always Wanted His Church
Called "The Exeter Club"

The sexton Of Edward Everett Hale's
church suffered from that convenient
form of deafness that prevented
man from hearing what he does not
wish TO hear and enables him to hear
what ne does wish to hear. Occa-
Eionally, when sweeping the sidewalk
in front of the church, some stranger
would ask him for information, and
his usual answer was wave of the
hand. I'm totally deaf, totally deaf.
You will have to ask someone in the
church."
1t often happened that Doctor Hale.
in the midst Of busy day, would find
the luncheon hour at hand and an
important appointment still unmet.
1t was his custom to invite his caller
into his study and ask the janitress
to make an oyster stew. The sexton
resented Doctor Hales informally.
The time came for new sign TO be
placed on the front Of the church, and
Doctor Hale and the assistant pastor
were standing in the vestry aisle dis
cussing lust what the wording of IL
should be. To their surprise the con-
versation was suddenly interrupted by
the deaf sexton, who stood far enough
away to make doubtful the ability OF
Il normal persons overhearing what
had been said. "Tll tell you what TO
put on that sign" he exclaimed.
"'Come in! Everybody welcomel
Meals served at all hours of the day
and night"
"All right" said Doctor Hale quick
ly. That's what we will do. I've al
ways wanted to call the church The
Exeter Club r"-Youth's Companion.

258 FIRST NUMBER OUT
Secretary Baker Takes Out Ini-
tiaI Misunderstanding Con-
tinueS All Day Friday and
Throughout Night.
Long List Of Numbers Given in Order
as Drawn, From Which Those Who
Will Be Called to Serve in
First Army Will Be
Selected.

Washington, July 21.-The drawing
for the big United States army was
not completed until early Saturday
morning. The drawing began at Gas
Friday morning, and continued
throughout the day and night. Alto
gether 10000 numbers were drawn
from the big fish bowl. 1t was officially
stated that the first 1000 numbers
drawn represented more than 1,OOO,-
600 men, and 1t Is not considered
probable that men representing any
number drawn after the first 1000
will be called before any exemption
board for the first army. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain of the. senate military
committee Congressman Dent of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate apd house military committees;
Maj. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above
few thousand affect registrants. OF
the 4,557 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1856, and
the average is about 5000. AS the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 126, placing 1867 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 157th in
order of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the see
Ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line. Beginning
with the first number, which was
drawn by Secretary Baker.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN Land
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIers-Anxlous to
Get Cheap and Produc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there viii
be a large influx Of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling off, on account
of the fear of CONSUMPTION, which Of
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into OPERA
ton. In any case 1t would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the GRAIN
that goes to feed those who are at wtar,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields Of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices ske-
cured Is having its influence on thote
looking for homes. The authenticateH
reports that have been sent out frou&
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farnh
holdings out of one crop has reached
the ears Of the man looking for farm.A
When he hears that G. II. Beatty ofV
Nanton, Alberta, had $40 bushels of
wheat from IL acres or an average of
66h bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney E. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and flfty-three
bushels of wheat, the average being
62h bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 100 bushels of oats to the
acre from q field Of % acres, w.
Quinn Of Milk River had 6,094 bushels
Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
Of 60 bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of Nobleford makes affida-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels Of wheat per acre from q
field of 1868 acres. Thos. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had a yield of ffty-three
bushels of wheat per acre. Newell j.
Mobiles affidavit of getting 81 bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit Is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 100 bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or f1fty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from a fax field
(stubble field she got 20 bushels and
SS pounds per acre.
It cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
reaf, the man looking for q farm be-
zines convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that will cause a large influx Of Amer
lean farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident In Mani.
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home

CHAPTER XII-contInued.


But when he opened his eyes later
and with n clearer head, he found food
and drink near. Unable to believe his
sight, he fancied his wavering senses
deceiying him, until he put out his
hand and felt actually the substance
OF what he saw. He took up bottle
of milk incredulously, and slipped at It
with the caution of a man not unused
TO periods Of starvation. He broke
eggs and swallowed them, at intervals,
hungrily from the shell; and meat he
cached, animal-like, in nearby cram
MES, and, manlke, in his pockets.
He was determined, if she should
come again, to intercept his visitor.
For fOrty-eight hours he tried cat-naps
with an occasional sandwich TO keep
up his strength. Nan returned I'M
seen, and disappeared despite his
watchfulncss- A new supply of food
proved she had been near but that it
would be hard to time her coming.
When she did come, the third time,
an innocent snare discovered her pres
ence. 1t was just before day, and De
Spain had so scattered small obstacles
--handfuls of gravel and little chips of
rock-that should she cross the ledge
In the dark she could hardly escape

The device betrayed her. I'm
awake" announced De Spain at once
from his retreat. When she stopped
at the words he could not see her; she
had flattened herself, standing, against
a wall of the ledge. He waited pa
tiently. you give me no chance to
thank you" he went on after a pause.
Il don't need any thanks" she replied
with calculated GOODNESS. 81 am hop
ing when you are well enough you
will go away quietly in the night. That
will be the only way you can thank
me"
Il shall be as glad to so as you can
be to have me-" rejoined De Spain.
But that went be thanking you as 1
am going to. If you think you can
save my life and refuse my thanks as

taken. will be perfectly honest. Ly-
