THE OFFICIAL list of men who
will be summoned for physical exam
ination in the first draft is printed in
full as given by the exemption board
in this issue of the Milford Chronicle.
Notice has been sent to each and ev-
cry man in the list telling him how,
when and where to appear; but it is
necessary that he find out for himself
just what to do, if for any reason he
did not receive the notice The
Chronicle also publishes another arti-
Gle this week telling the men just
what they are to do if they are in the
draft. It will be well for all men be-
tween the ages of q and 81 to read
both carefully in order that they may
be on the safe side

THE SELECTIVE DRAFT.

By the law of the land nearly as ola
as the Constitution itself, all male
citizens OF the United States between
the ages of eighteen and forty-fve
constitute the militia and are liable
to be called on by the government for
military duty. That call in limited
form has been made several times,
but last week the power to turn civil
ians into soldiers was exercised in a
comprehensive fashion, and an army
of a half million men will in a very
short time be in training for active
service.
The draft made a week ago was re-
garded by those engaged in it as a
most important and solemn occasion.
It was both these. It is a test of the
government to draw to itself the will
ing service of its men of military age.
The drawing of the names of those
from whom the fighting men will be
chosen was like the moving hand of
fate which determined that one should
be taken and the other left. 1t is
those earliest drawn to the number
needed who will compose the nation1
al army. The eager interest in the
uIdWluS every WHERE SlOWS now vital
wa sthe issue in the homes of nearly |
all Americans.
1t has brought the war and its
meaning home to a large share of the
population that has not heretofore
been fully alive to it. It has even
caused some disturbance among that
portion Of our citizenship that is of
foreign birth or of Giien association
who have not yet become fully Ameri-
can in spirit and whose loyalty to the
American government has never be-
fore come war proof.
Such points of weakness are the
result of the introduction of
foreign blood and foreign ideas into
This country faster than the first
could be assimilated and the last can
be discarded. We are entirely con-
ident that the great body of the con-
scripted men who shall prove avail :
able for military duty will accept
heir fate stolidly or enthusiastically, :
according to their nature and do their 7,
ull duty in whatever service the ex-
gencies Of this war shall call them I

Former Ambassador to Germany Has
 Retired to Private Life.

Washington, July 9. - James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Ger many has resigned from the diplo- matic service and returned 10 private life. His resignation was accepted some time ago, though the fact was not allowed to become known until today.
 The resignation terminates an am bassadoriaI career regarded at the state department as one of the most important in American diplomatic his tory, Assuming the post at Berlin a year before the outbreak of the world war, MT. Gerard was called upon all most from the first to exercise all his abilities to main tain friendly relations between his government and Germany.
 Establishing personal relations with the German chancellor and foreign of flee and not infrequently consulting the emperor. the ambassador conveyed the energetic protests of the United States without actually impairing his personal standing until the time came to demand his passports.
 Mir Gerard and his staff returned to the United States March 12 After making his reports, he submitted his resignation, which was accepted to take effect upon the expiration of the usual leave of absence. He has not indicated to officials here his plans for the future
 A peculiar situation exists as a re- suit of MT. Gerard's resignation. with officials In doubt as to whether it service.

 Pershing's Men

New York July e.-Application for articles of incorporation was made here today by an organization known as An Army Girls Transport To- bacco Fund.- The object of the or ganization is to provide the soldiers and sailors on transports leaving this country for Europe with plenty of to- bacco.
 Soldiers and sailors are not given tobacco as a ration. During the rush of sending the first contingent of sol dierS to France officer told the daughter of a. prominent army officer that the men sailing on the ships would be unable to smoke for the sim pie reason that there was no tobacco on board that they could buy.
