long as was necessary TO give every
body a chance TO register.
The next step in the process of rails
ing the army viii be the drawing OF
the names Of the men who are to be in
the selective draft After the names
are drawn an exemption board will hear
claims to exemption from military
service.
1t was noticeable in this city yester-
day that very few negroes claimed
exemption. and that very few in other
precincts. except in some Of the pre-
cincts heavily populated with. laboring
pepole In those districts many men
claimed exemption on the ground that
they had families depending on them
All of the claims for exemptions will
be heard and disposed of BY the
exemption boards
The new army will be mobolized the
drst of September and sent TO training
camps where the men will be rounded
into real soldiers. There is every indi-
cation. now that the Indiana men in
the conscripted army Will go to a train
ing camp in Kentucky. probably al Lex
ington 1t is settled that the training
camp will not be located in Indiana
Kentucky will get it, The army board
which Investigated the sites offered
turned down Indiana. and so did Gen.
Barry. of Chicago. in his report to the
War Department Gen. Barry favors

B. Hembroff and Dr. A. A. Ross. These
men are in session today at the council
room of the city hall where they are
making canvass Of the returns and
preparing reports. The exact figures
will probably not be available before
four o'clock.
The police officers of the two ends
of the city were instructed to make
such Investigations as they could on
the streets and elsewhere in regard to
the non-registered and these officers
were busy this morning challenging
men who were going to and from work.
AS a result there We're nearly one
hundred arrested. two-thirds of this
number being from the Harbor Those
arrested were taken to the police sta
tions until the conditions became so
congested that it was apparent that
something had to be done. consulta-
ton of the members of the registration
board was held and as a result the men
were booked and released on their own
recognizance.
Many of these men had very plausi-
BILE excuses for failing TO register All
will be before the registration board
this afternoon and questioned closely.
Excuses will be investigated and those
that have been fair with the board will
no doubt he given an opportunity to
register today
Those that wilfully neglected TO reg
lister. however. will be taken before
Judge Anderson. federal judge Of this
district.

precincts was very large. 1t was be-
1ieved all along that the men of Ger
man birth or descent were loyal and
true 10 the flag. and that they would
come forth and register just the same
as any other citizens, but most of the
observers We're not prepared to expect
the exceptional showing made. In some
of the German precincts the enrolment
ran % to 40 percent above what had
been expected.
The Registration among colored men
was far above what had been expected
In one colored precinct where not more
than 200 had been expected. the regis
trations numbered S41, only six of them
being white men.
Thousands of foreigners. Rouman-
fans. Hunyaks Serbians and the like
were registered. Nobody knew there
were SO many in the city. Most OF
them had only their first papers. Many
of them did not know their birthday
They knew the year but not the day or
the month. Registration boards pro-
vided them with birthdays, which they
wrote on their cards.
Jesse Eschbach. state CONSUMPTION
agent, received kilograms from over the
state telling of the heavy registration
Many of these kilograms called for ad-
ditional cards.
Streams swollen by foods prevented
Brown county and Greene county men
from getting to the registration places

Am Mquisihve Submarine Boat
 Visits Fyeighte,
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. 31.- daring attack by a German sub marine on a big British freighter conveyed by a destroyer, the U-boat coming so close to fire a torpedo that guns could not be trained on her, was reported by members of the gun crew, who arrived today on the ship. The attack occurred about 300 miles off the coast of Ireland, when the freighter was bound for the United States. The first indication of an enemy's presence was the sud- den swerving of the destroyer across the bow of the merchantmen. The
 next moment a torpedo flashed straight at her bow, quick twist
 of the steering wheel turning the vessel sufficiently to dodge the i missile
 The gun crew stood ready to fire at the first ripple, but to their amazement, the U-boat emerged al most alongside the ship, so close that the freighters gun could not be de- pressed enough to cover her. The destroyer was unable to fire because the freighter screened the submar-
 inc which disappeared beneath the
 waves without attempting to fire a | shot.

much greater levies. The attendance generally was small, with but a half dozen senators remaining on the floor ct times.
 Senators Harding and Smoot warned the senate that much higher taxation of war profits probably would result seri- ously to business Senators Hollis and Gronna eontended that the bulk of the wars expenses should be obtained from war profits. Senator Hollis opposed the consumption taxes proposed and in- sisted that the bill be increased to s3,00O, 100000 by levying upon war profits.
 T am ready to take practically all the war profits" he declared. They are trust fund m the hands of those that make them and the government should have no compunction in reach ing out and taking them
 By a strategic move the senators making the fight for a higher rate on war profits got Senator Johnson's S amendment placed in position for the first vote. Both sides expressed confi- dence tonight but the plan of the high tax group Is to offer Senator Johnson $ maximum levy provision first and if that IS defeated to follow with other propositions to secure acceptance of the highest possible rate

POWERFUL RADIO SET
 PROBABLY FOR GERMANS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. 31.-Federal officials today seized a powerful radio set which they believed was intended for the use of German agents in Lower California, and arrested three MeXi- cans who were held on conspiracy charges. The apparatus was pur- chased in San Francisco three weeks ago, the officials said, but they failed to obtain trace of it until today. when they found it in private garage The set had been consigned to J. Garcia, automobile driver and former corre- spondent for a Mexican newspaper. Garcia was arrested with two other Mexicans Miguel Triarte and Carlos Sierda.
 Garcia, who said he was a victim of circumstances, declared his two com panions arranged to have the box of equipment delivered to him and asked him to store it. He said he had nc knowledge of the contents of the boxes.
 According to the officials, the other two prisoners insisted that the radio set was intended for Governor Cantu of Lower California, but these claims were not borne out. Governor Cantu can obtain radio equipment without secrecy, the officials said

More than 500 additional Austrian prisoners and five machine guns have been cap- tured in the BainsizZa region. On the Carso plateau, airplanes are aiding in the attack.
 Aside from artillery duels which are violent at various points along. the front in Belgium and France, only minor operations are taking place There has been rather heavy fighting on several sectors in Macedonia, where the French have repulsed Bulgarian attacks near Srka di Legen and west of MOnaStir
