ANOTHER DRAFT |:
CALL PROBABLE
United States May Summon Halt
Million More Men.
ESTIMATES BEING PREPARED

First Million Troops Will Be Made Up
Of Those Just Drawn for Service;
the National Guard and Regulars.
Navy Department Is Planning to
Ask Congress for More Funds.
Washington, July 25.-Increased in
terest in the final steps for drafting
the first army of Americans for serv-
ice in the trenches of Europe followed
the announcement of the possibility of
increasing the CONSUMPTION list to l.
100000 men.
The first million men are to be made
up of the first draft army of 100000,
the national guard and the regulars. It
is improbable that the first draft will
be increased, but the government is
arranging it's finances for other drafts
without the necessity of going to con-
gress again for money.
Estimates for revenue in the war
tax bill provide only for the 100000
men for eight months beginning July
1. The new estimates are designed
to provide for the first army of half
million for an entire year and, in addi-
ton, for twelve months expenditures
caused by the second call of 100000
men, because it would be necessary
to buy their equipment before or soon
after they are drafted.
Navy Will Require More Funds.
In addition to the war departments
additional estimates the navy depart
$100,000,000 additional The shipping
also is expected to require several mil
lions more.
1t is generally understood the presi-
dent plans to call out 100000 more
men as soon as those now drafted
are on their way to France
Estimates have placed the training
| necessary before the first army is
| ready at eight months
It is assumed the second army, thus
| would be called to the colors about
April, unless events before that time
shall hasten that step.
The selective draft bill authorizes
a second call and the new revenue
| plan would meet all expenses until
July, 1918.
Besides the additional sums needed
| for the war program Secretary Nc
! Adoo told the senate finance commit
tee that the $4,000, 100000 authorized
| for 1Oan tO tho alias nroho h1v will
last only until October and that about
5 900, 100000 for their further assist
ance will be needed.

SHIPPING PROFITS
Que TO HIGH RATES

New York, July 25.-An extraordi-
nary growth in the profits of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine company
since the beginning of the war, as re-
vealed in the company's annual report
for 1916, is attributed by Harold A..
Sanderson, chairman of the directors,
Ito the shortage of tonnage and the
abnormal increase in freight rates."
AS a result "the earnings of the
company and it's subsidiaries reached
a point far exceeding those of any
previous period in it's history
Gross earnings of the company and
it's subsidiaries for 1916, according to
the report, amounted to $60,602,01O,
after providing for British excess
profits duty.
This compares with $51,O56,679 in
1915, and $43,37S,526 in 1914.
Profits for 1916, before providing
for depreciation on steamships, ag-
gregated 25,946,650, against $17,341,,
997 in 1915, and $3,3O7,O29 in 1914.

SEE LONG STRUGGLE AHEAD
Washington Officials Gloomy Over Rus
sian Collapse.

Washington, July 25.-The collapse
of the Russian drive and the mutiny
of the Russian army on the southeast
ern front has filled Washington with
gloom. The events are regarded as in
dicating that Russia will not be able
to become an aggressive factor in the
war for some time to come, if ever,
and that the allies are up against a
struggle of two or three years longer
to defeat Germany
The administration has been inform
ed officially that German agents in
Russia are responsible for the wide
spread disaffection that has paralyzed
the government.

SUFFERING SEVERE LOSSES
Austro-Hungarian and German Armies

erabIe War SuppIies-French Retake
All Positions Recently Lost.

London, July Notwithstanding
the threat of Premier Kerensky that a
policy of "blood and IRON will be ap-
piled without restraint against the Sc.
d1tfous Russian troops in East Galicia,
whose disaffection has made null al
most all the brilliant gains they had
achieved early in the month, the Rus.
slams continue their retirement vir.
tually pell nell, before the German
and Austro-Hungarian armies.
From the Carpathians to the region
of Tarnopd the Russians almost
everywhere are in disorderly retreat
Their losses in men killed, wounded
or made prisoner and in guns and
stores captured are extremely heavy
and these undoubtedly will become
greater unless the hoped for stiffen-
ing in the morale of the Russians is
realized soon.
Stanislau, the principal junction for
an important grain and manufacturing
center, is being evacuated by the Rus
SLAMS, while Podhaytse, Halicz and 9th
er towns have been taken by the Teu-
tons.
Tarnopol is more seriously menaced
than ever, if it has not already been
retaken.
Entire Eastern Front Ablaze.
Including the hostilities in Galicia
the entire eastern front, from the Bal
tic virtually to the Black sea, is the
scene of big operations, but with the
Russians standing firmly against the
enemy only in the Roumanian theater
AS in Galicia the Russians around
the region of Dvinsk and Wilma con-
tinue to show signs of disaffection AL.
though they had captured German po-
sitions along the Dvinsk-Vilna railway
the Russians could not be induced to
press their advantage and retired, un-
hindered by the Germans, to their old
positions.
In the repulse of attacks with large
forces near Krevo, which was recap
tured, and south of Smoogon the Ger
mans cut entire regiments to pieces
with the fire of their infantry and ma
chine guns.
The Germans having ceased their
violent infantry attacks against the
French along the observation-disclosures in
France the latter have assumed the
initiative and have taken back from
the enemy the small advantages gain
ed in terrain during weeks of tena
cious assaults.
The lost ground on the California
plateau and the Classmates plateau
has all been recaptured and the
French, despite vicious counter at
tacks, have even pushed their lines
forward at several points in the lat

CAMP SHERIDAN BREEDING PLACE !. FOR FALSE kUMORS
Just "Stick Around" and You Can Hear Almost ! Any Kind of Impossible
 News There

Montgomery, November 9.-(Special ) Camp Sheridan has become a breeding place for rumors during the past few days and they have become so general and so varied that officers Friday digni- fled them with the one exclamation False"
 The chief rumor was that two batteries pf artillery and one regiment of infantry had been detached from the division and would leave for a port of authorization at once. Another was that the Is weeks training schedule had been cut and the division would leave for France at the end of eight weeks. Still another was that Ruth Law, woman aviator. who en- tertained Camp Sheridan two weeksago, tad been arrested in New Orleans as a spy. Yet another was that the camps Ut Chillicothe. O., and Macon, Ga, had been condemned and the soldiers ordered eere And the big one was that a white soldier had declined to salute negro officer and had been put to death and his body buried in field away from camp.
 Every source of supply from Camp Sheridan will be inspected by govern ment experts next week. Capt. D. II. Eddy and assistants, who came from Washington, have practically completed their work in camp and will extend their scope so as to include restaurants, dairies and every source of supply doing business with the division.
 The ambulance companies from Cin- cinnati, Canton, Toledo and Columbus, Friday completed their examinations for heart and lung trouble and scored 100 per cent, being free from disease.

Western Railroads Also
 Want Rate Increase;
 Many Shippers Opposing

Washington, November 9.-Western railroads today re-entered the 15 per cent rate increase case by arranging sion for a hearing December II on an application to be made then for a gem eral increase of an unspecified amount
 The action will be joined to the ap- plication of eastern roads for 15 per cent higher rates, now being heard by the commission, and it is believed that southern roads will not be long in ask ing to be included in the case. This would bring before the commission deii- nitely the issue of allowing increases to roads of the entire country to cover higher labor, material and supply costs.
 In disposing of the railroads appli- cation for 15 per cent raise last June the interstate commerce commission granted a few minor increases to the western carriers. They now have pre- pared to show that their net earnings have declined, as compared with last year, and claim that to maintain eff cient service required for the war and make necessary improvements, part of the burden of heavier operating costs must be passed on tc shippers.
 INCREASES ATTACKED
 A general attack on the proposed increases for eastern roads on petro- leum and it's products was made before Examiner Dsque today by counsel and witnesses for the independent oil inter- ests. They contended that any increase would be destructive to them and to the advantage of their only competitor. the Standard Oil company, whose pipe lines, distributing stations and tank wagons make it virtually independent of the railroads.
 Clifford Thorne, for the oil men, said in many instances the proposed ad- vances would exceed 15 per cent, and that towns in the oil field had been ar bitrarily grouped by the roads in the ate adjustment
