MUCH WORK
Must BE Done Before Men Are Drafted
Last District VIII Have to
Complete Its Work Before
Men Are Selected.

Washington, July 5-Arrangements
Tor the next step toward mobilization
Of the new national army-the exer-
else of the selection for draft-were
taken up tonight at conference be-
tween Secretary Baker and Provost
General Crowder.
Mr.. Baker said later he had no an
to make as to the date OF
the drawing. It has been announced
that the drawing will be held In Wash
ington and 1t is expected statement
covering the method to be followed
will be made In the next few days.
Organization of the local and dis
trict exemption boards, the arrange
ment of the registration lists In SER
ial numbers and other preliminary
work must be completed before the
selection machinery can be set in mo-
ton. A statement by the Public In
formation committee says this may be
done by Saturday, though there Is no
certainty about 1t.
Reports current today that selec-
tions already had been made probably
arose from the fact that many boards
have numbered their registration
cards and in some cases probably, al
ready are publishing the lists as re-
quired by regulations.
The last district will have to COM
plete this work, however, before selec-
ton can begin as the administration
is determined to leave no loop hole
for puggling for the serial numbers. II
Is for this reason that public posting
of the fist and the filing of duplicate
copies with the provost marshal gen.
eral has been required in advance OF
selection.
The care with which the numbering
Of the registration cards is being car
ried out make 1t certain that the draw
ing will be based entirely uopn the
numbers. No names will be involved
in the actual process Of selection
which will closely approximate. it Ii
understood, the Jury wheel system.

Toledo, Sept. 24.-Robert NJ. La
Toilette, Wisconsin senator, was en-
route to Washington today after an
address here yesterday in which he
hit back vigorously at his enemies.
He has collected material for many
libel suits against newspapers. he said,
which will be filed when the courts
are free and open"
La Toilette did not discuss the
course of the war in his address to the
2,SO0 people, in his audience here. He
urged a campaign to elect a congress
that will faiIly represent the peoples
views on the war. Meantime. he will
not do or say anything not supported
by law and constitution, he said, but
he reserved the right to discuss the
war and peace terms.
Police and federal agents were scat
tered thru the crowd during the ad-
dress, but there were no disturbances

Buenos Aires, Sept. 24.-For the
immediate present, at least, Argen-
tina's determination to declare war
against Germany is to be held in abey-
ance.
Government officials today accepted
as Temporarily satisfactory" a mes
sage from the German government,
transmitted thru the Argentine min
lister at Berlin, disavowing Count Lux
burg's utterances and denying that the
kaiser approved of Luxburg person
ally.
The fact was emphasized, however,
that his disavowal does not constitute
the full and free formal reply de-
manded in Argentina's ultimatum. It's
receipt, however, stops the chamber
of deputies immediate consideration of
the res ,lution supporting the govern
ment's plan of declaring state of war
with Germany
Public interest was transferred from
the German situation today to the
more pressing crisis of the nation

way employees struck. Complete
paralysis of railway communication
seemed certain. The situation is ad-

ceipts which were the largest at this time
in years will keep up to around the pres
ent level and possibly increase. Those who
were hullish said there was a good class of
buying on the decline and while the under
tone was easy they do not expect a big
break
Weekly weather, forecast is for warmer
weather early part of the week with some
what lower temperatures later Showers
are predicted for Monday or Tuesday and
again toward the latter part of the week.
New York, Sept. 24-Financial Bulletin
Latest developments suggest that the most
profitable position for active operators to
take at present is the trading attitude
which we think will give good result to
faithful followers. Such a policy is justi-
fled now that the market has had big de
cline and strong recovery, and must technie
ally enter a zone of digestion to achieve
stability. We would continue to buy good
stocks on reactions and sell doubtful ones
on rallies after shorts had retired. Spe-
cialities are expected to go higher with
demand for linseed and corn products. Low
backs.

ExOnerates Congressman.
Look for Agreement on War
Tax Bill Within Two, Days.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Chairman
Flood of the house foreign affairs
committee held several conferences
today to sound out sentiment on the
proposed congressional inquiry into
the Won Bernstorff "slush fund for
peace
Demands for an inquiry have cooled
since Secretary LansingS statement
giving congress a clean bill of health.
Representatives Heflin, Alabama, and
Howard, Georgia, both of whom were
sure certain congressman had been
corrupted, have failed to bring evil
dence to support any of their earlier
charges.
Speaker Clark's attitude probably
will decide finally for or against the
inquiry. The sentiment n both house
and senate is growing for hurrying to
completion pending work End adj
journing early next month.
Many Bills Pending.
Suffragists face a test of strength
in the house. This afternoon a spe-
cial rule creating a woman's suffrage
committee will go t. a vote. If the
new committee is established, either
Miss Jeanette Rankin, Montana, or
Raker, California. will be appointed
chairman.
Due to compromises on both sides,
the war revenue bill may be agreed
on in conferences tomorrow or We'd
nesday.
Conference report on the enemy

With the bill changed only slightly
from the senate's wn draft, it prob
ably will be approved.
