Dimeless Day for Year

Minneapolis, July 19.-The petticoat
dime food, that for a time threatened
to swamp the Minneapolis postoffice,
apparently is over, Postmaster E. A.
Purdy announced today.
Yesterday was the first day since
Aug. S, 1915, that passed without a
single letter being received in the
famous dime chain. Up to noon today
none had come in.
Postmaster Purdy heaved more or
less ecstatic sigh.
The dime food started when Mime.
apolis "slickers"" started chain letter
advising women that each recipient OF
one of the notes could obtain a silk
petticoat by sending copies to a few
of her friends and sending 10 cents to
mythical mail order concern here.
Postoff1ce inspectors squelched the
scheme right at the start.
Since then 1,116,651 letters have
been received, coming from all parts
of the world. Liveria, Madagascar and
Manchuria were among some of the
far-away lands that we're heard from.

Drawing Not Completed
Until Saturday Morning

Washington, July 2O.-Selective con.
scrlptl0n was put into effect today
when a national lottery fixed the order
OF military liability for the 100000
young Americans registered for ser
vice. To accomplish the result 10000
numbers were drawn one at time,
task which began in the morning and
lasted far into the night.
The lottery was held in the public
hearing room of the senate office
building with war department officials
IN charge of the actual drawing and
members of the senate and house mill
tary committees as witnesses.
AS result of the drawing every
registered man is given a definite
place in the liability for service list.
Already $4,000 have been ordered to
the colors to fill to war strength the
regular army and national guard and
to constitute the first increment of
the national army. To secure that to-
tai l,374,000 men will be called for ex-
animation within few weeks, officials
estimating that two registrants must
be called for every soldier accepted.
These 1,374,0OO will be taken from the
head of the liability list, every local
list furnishing a fixed quota.
Democratic Ceremony
The drawing today was conducted
with ceremonies as democratic as the
ideal OF citizenship it embodied. It
was shortly before 10 o'clock Friday
morning when Secretary Baker raped
for order. On the table stood the great
lottery jar, showing through its trans
parent sides the heap of numbers-fill-
ed capsules. In front of the table
army officers waited with the official
tally sheets before them. Down one
side Of the room ran another table
where two score press representatives
waited to send out the numbers as
they were read.
Secretary Baker briefly explained
the purpose of the drawing, then
stepped forward to be blindfolded and
drew the first number. Major Duval
broke the seal and with long wood
en- spoon bearing a ribbon of the ma
tional colors, vigorously stirred the
capsules.
First Number 25e
The secretary reached into the jar,
picked up capsule and handed it to
an announcer. 1t was number 25S.
Then in quick succession other num-
bers were drawn, while cameras and
motion picture machines recorded the
scene.
The only interruption was the fire.
quent change of tired announcers and
tabulators and the removal for clean
ing of the blackboard where the re-
! suit was publicly displayed as each
number came out. When group of
500 numbers had been written, the
first section of the board was taken
out to be photographed to establish
an absolute record, while the second
section was substituted.
Number Thirteen Lucky?
BY the laws of chance the serial
number 10, tabled bearer of Ill luck,
was drawn in the 1890 place.
Registrants will receive no official
word of their order of liability until
their local boards summon them for
examination, after official records OF
the drawing have been transmitted to
them by mail. Preparation of these
records will begin tomorrow.
The number 5000 was drawn just at
midnight.
The drawing was completed at 2:13
a.. m.

SIaUs AdUance
 Still Further
 On East Front

Russia's victorious troops have made a further advance in eastern Ga licia. where the Ausfro-German lines were shattered by General Koerniloff's drive. Petrograd announces the cnp- ture of the village of Novica, south west of Kalusa. The Germans evi- dently have brought up troops in an effort to stay the disorganized retreat of the Teutonic forces in this region. DC the Petrograd war office reports two counter attacks in an attempt to dislodge the Russians from Kalusz. T''@ efforts met with no success.
 Elsewhere on the Russo-Galician front the situation is unchanged and apparently the Russians have paused to gather their forces for a further drive. The German war office again reports considerable activity on the northern end of the line near Dvinsk and Smorgon, but the Russian stste- ment contains nothing to indicate that an offensive in that section is in prog ress.
