AGREE ON STEEL
Cost of Production Plus Profit Margin
on Sales to U. S.

Washington, July 12.-Formal an
lIouncement was made by ecretary
Baker today that an agreement had
been reached with representatives of
the American steel industry in confer
ence here, under which the entire pro
duction of the industry would be made
available for the governments war
purposes at a price to be determined
on the basis of cost of production
inquiry being conducted by the federal
trade commission.
On their side the government repre-
sentatives assured the steel men that
reasonable profits would be included
in the price fixed and that provision
also would be made to care for the
expansion of the industry to meet new
demands.
The government also assured the
steel men that its war orders would
be distributed over the entire iron and
steel producing capacity of the coun-
try, leaving no single producer or
group of producers to carry an unfair
share of the war burden

KANSAS CITY FIRST
Led in Readiness for Draft-OnIy Fl
States Have Reported.

Washington, July 12.-Persistent
inquiries from all parts of the country
for information about the method to
be followed in selecting men for the
national war army caused war depart
ment officials to explain today that
President Wilson's determination to
have absolute fairness govern the pro-
cess was responsible for the decision
to withhold announcement of the eX-
act plan until the very eve of the
drawing.
The exemption regulations and all
other moves in the making of the new
army have received the approval of
the president personally and the draft
regulations also will come from the
White House. All that is known now
is that the drawing will be from serial
numbers corresponding to numbers on
registration cards and that it will take
place in Washington, probably at the
capitol. Secretary Baker or some
other high official will draw the first
number and then the process of selec-
ton will be pushed forward until
there is flashed by telegraph to every
community in the county the numbers
of men drawn. 1t is understood that
the system planned is so simple that
the work will be done in few hours.
So far only twenty-one states have
reported to the provost generals Of

ton. In some of them the names and
serial numbers of the men liable 10

STARvE BELCIANS
Extremes of Heat and Cold To
Force Captives To Work.
Tortured and Turned Into
SnOWstOrm without Clothes.

Havre, July 12.-(By Associated
Press. 1.-The Belgian government has
received from various sources evil
dence which accords in every detail,
proving that deported Belgian civil
ians are subjected systematically to
mistreatment to bring them to forced
labor for the Germany army.
This evidence exposes insufficient
nourishment, cruel punishment, bru-
tai intimidation and hard conditions
of labor under which great many
of the deported civilians succumb,
while a larger portion return so re-
duced and weakened that they are in
capable of physical effort.

This is the regime of the camp of
Soltau described by one of the men
who had been informed there and who
succeeded in escaping:
In the morning, the third or
litre of a beverage resembling coffee,
but seeming to have been made OF
acorns; at noon a half litre of soup,
generally made OF beets' out some
times of potatoes; in the evening a
fifth of a litre of porridge made OF
cornmeal or barley; the ration OF
bread is about half pound per day;
it is made of a mixture of cornmeaI
and rye.
fish or cheese. In certain camps the
evening meal was omitted altogether
and even the other meager repasts
were reduced for those who refused
to work for the Germans Besides
hunger, the principal measures re-
sorted to in order to bring the deport-
ed men to submission were the sup

or cold, according to the season, for
days together, during which the food

til they reach the proportions of half

Another cruelty practiced upon the
deported' to force them to work is the
"suppIice of the tank" or a severe
application of the Turkish bath Sew
eral witnesses have confirmed this
fact, among them the son of a manu-
