SLACKERS TO BE ROUNDED UP AND
 PLACED NEAR TOP OF DRAFT LISTS

men and when found they will be assigned numbers which will in sure their being called up for ex- animation at an early date. They will be given the serial numbers of men near the top of the list al- ready permanently discharged for physical reasons.
 The first reports of the local boards on physical examination are beginning to appear. As yet. however, they are not complete enough to make any logical de- ductbn as to the probable aver age of rejection for this reason. The draft statistics of the Civil war, which showed between 25 and 30 per cent rejected on that ground, still are the best guide on the question. Such figures as have come from the local boards are in general harmony with the old average.
 The average of reJections on physical grounds in the regular army receiving has been far high CT, but conditions are entirely diff ferent with the selective draft forces.
 - In many district where examina- tions are proceeding large num- Der of men have asked for affi- davit blanks on which to submit applications for exemption De- cause of dependent families. This is no criterion of the exemptions to be granted. however, as each case must be considered on its merits.

 0vv ASHINGTON, July 30. - W Prompt and efficient work " by district exemption W boards is expected by gov ernment officials as a result of stripping all red tape from the procedure of the tribunals. Presi- dent Wilson's executive order out lining the principles to govern ex- emptions, coupled with fnstruc- tions to the boards from Provost Marshal General Crowder are re- garded here as setting in motion the last phase of the selection process with a momentum that in- sures a minimum of confusion and delay.
 The object of instructions is to impress the boards with the vitw that their primary purpose is to select the personnel for the nauon- al army in the shortest possible time. To that end they have been informed that no legal precedents bind them and that there need be no adherence to rules of evidence or other technicalities of court procedure.

 D|SCUSS|ONOF
 BONE-DRY BILL
Senators Ashurst, Sheppard and Shafroth Lead Fight on Booze; Underwood Strong ly Opposes Measure.
fBy Review Leased Wire.l

yV9 ASHINGTON, July 30-The fight bA for nation wide prohibition by w constitutional amendment Op-
 ened in the senate today un- der unanimous consent agreement to take final vote Wednesday. The final debate was purely perfunctory with but few senators in their seats, a small number of spectators in the gall leries.
 Senator Sheppard, author of the pending resolution to submit such an amendment to the states, opened the debate and was followed by Senator Underwood, who, in brief speech, op- posed the resolution. The only other speakers were Senators Ashurst and Sanfroth, both of whom supported it. The debate will continue tomorrow and a large number of senators have declared their intention of speaking.
 Demon Rum Assailed.
 The constant activity of the liquor interests is peril to free institutions, Senator Sheppard told the senate, while alcoholic liquor itself is men, ace to the nations wealth. morals and efficiency Organized labor. he said, has been asked to oppose prohibition because bartenders and brewery and distiilery employees are members of unions.
 Labor is asked to imperil it's very existence" said the Texas senator, ''to take food from the mouths, and cloth es from the backs of men. women and children to sustain a traffic meaning hunger, disease, insanity and death for the masses, while the liquor barons thrive in luxury.
 If the liquor traffic is to be eradi- cated, the aid of the federal govern ment must be invoked. The partner ship between the liquor traffic and the federal government is one of the most frightful hearitages of the civil war"
 Close Vote Expected.
 Senator Underwood declared adop- tion of the bill would have tendency to centralize our government under a police autocracy such as exists in Ger many and Austro-Hungary," entrench ing national authority and weakening the sovereignty of the people.
 q see no reason why we cannot now trust, as we have in the past, the enlightened electorate of each state to pass the necessary laws for the do- mestic control of their own people," the Alabama senator continued. "If the federal government is once called on to enter the field, apprehend and punish the petty vices of the citizens of the states in respect to the matters authorized by this resolution it will not be long before efforts will be made to further the police powers of the federal government and this will result in destroying state boundaries and the abolition of state govern ments."
 Leaders expect the vote on the res olution to be close. A two-thirds ma jority is required for passage

One of the main attempts of the Russians to hold back the enemy has been on the heights east of the river Zebrocz which flows along the bor- der between Galician and Russia but despite the resistance offered they have been compelled by overwhelm- ing number to cede ground to the Aus tro-Germans who crossed the stream.
 The Teutons also have crossed the Galician frontier and now are invad- ing Bukowina by way of the Suchawa valley, their immediate objective being the town of Seletyn. while the force that recently was successful in its op- erations against the Russians in the region of Kirlibaba has reached the territory lying to the east of the up- per Moldavia valley.
 50 Spies Are Shot.
 The Rumanians and Russians fight ing near the northwestern border of Rumania continue to press forward in the Casin and Putna valleys, having captured additional villages and added materially to the number of munitions captured. Fifty German spies dis guised as Russian soldiers are reported to have been caught and shot.
 There has been a considerable fall ing-off in the intensity of the British artillery fire on the Flanders front. ac- cording to Berlin. Here the Germans are said to have concentrated the greatest number of guns that they ev- CT have massed on any one sector. and are using them to their full capacity.

Early selling for southern ac. count was supposed to be against an increased spot business late yester. day. the larger sales at Houston and Dallas being noted particularly in that connection. Norfolk and Charleston advices reporting an enr bargo on cotton shipments to New York until stocks here were reduced by exports, probably stimulated de. mand for the near months.
 The volume of business tapered off after an advance to 29.4Oc for Jan. uary and 29.23c for March, or about 3oM3a points above last nights clos ing figures. Later fluctuations were irregular, within a narrow range. and the. trade seemed to be waiting for spot market developments, with prices ruling 9@10 points off from the best around midday.
 After selling at 29.45c for January. or S9 points net higher, the market turned easier during the early after noon and scattering liquidation ana Wall street selling. which mal have been connected with weakness in the stock market January broke to 29.. l'c, while March sold off from 2923c to 2S.92c, or back to within $ or 9 points of last nights closing figures.
