NEW SYSTEM FOR DRAFT
ANNOUNCED BY CR0WDER
Reolstrants to Be Divided Into Glasses
in Order Of Eligibility for Mill
tary Service.

Washington.-A sweeping change IN
the machinery of the selective draft,
based on division of the 100000 re-
naming registrants into five classes
in order of their eligibility for mill
tary service has been announced by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
Details of the plan, which has been
approved by President Wilson are not
disclosed. It is calculated, however,
to do away with virtually all the COM
plicated machinery of the first draft
and to make the operations of the To-
cal board hereafter little more than
rubber stamp proceedings.
The plan was worked out at con-
ferences with local and district board
officials and approved by the various
state authorities. It's chief features
are that every registered man Will
know his exact position and be able
to arrange his affairs accordingly
and that no man deemed necessary IN
any important industry or needed at
home to support his family Will be
called to the colors unless the military
situation is desperate.

SHELLS HURLED ON OSTEND
Germans Give Out Report OF Attack
on U-Boat Base BY British
Naval Forces.

London.-Ostend, one of Germany s
submarine bases on the North Sea, has
been bombarded by British naval
forces, according to an official state
ment given out in Berlin.
Thus far the British Admiralty has
made no mention of the attack. Many
houses in Ostend were damaged, the
Berlin announcement says. Hapsal,
an important city on the coast of the
Esthonian mainland, east of the Moon
Sound, in the Gulf of Riga, has been
evacuated by the Russians following
the German naval success in the
sound.
Hapsal lies 81 miles southwest OF
Reval and 252 miles southwest OF Pet
rograd. It is f1anked by coast fortifi-
cations which were put out OF action
by the German long range naval guns.
Once deprived of it's defensive powers,
the city, with the bay Immediately TO
the north, forms an excellent landing
place for the Teutons who may at
tempt to take Reval.
Zeppelins have bombarded those
parts of the Riga Gulf coasts still held
by the Russians. The coasts OF the
Gulf of Finland also were bombed.

The Small Birds.

I am glad to note that the Royal So
ciety for the Protection of Birds has
issued a warning against the destruc-
ton Of small birds, which has been
recommended in some quarters, says O.
writer in the Westminster Gazette. 1t
has published pamphlet on the sub
ject, pointing out that nearly all the
small birds Of Great Britain are en-
gagged in the work Of destroying in
sect pests from March to August and
In lesser degree all the year through.
On the other hand, no bird lives wholly
or principally on cultivated grain or
fruit. We have heard Of districts be-
ing ravaged by caterpillars, which have
multiplied this year enormously, ow-
ing to the heavy mortality Of birds
during the severe winter. And yet In
a village where 1 was staying recent
ly the farmers were trying to exter-
inmate the sparrows, which were liv-
ing mainly on caterpillars, as l could
see from the food brought by pair OF
them to their nestlings under the roof.

SILVER TAKES A BIG DROP
Swift Collapse Leads to Belief That
Market Was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
rama Lifts Embargo.

Washington.-Six million Mexican
silver pesos have been bought by the
Treasury Department at 1914 cents an
ounce for minting into half dollars,
dime and quarters. The Treasury
when faced with the necessity OF buy
ing silver for coinage at steadily in
creasing prices which at their height
brought the value of the metal danger
ously close to the minted value. Now
the price of silver in this country has
dropped precipitately. The swift col
lapse from $1.16 to IS cents per ounce.
a decline of 81 cents within three
weeks, has resulted in an investlga-
ton to determine whether the market
had been manipulated. In return the
Carranza Government is understood to
have lifted it's virtual embargo on the
expectation to this country of silver
and copper, and that these and other
commodities needed here soon will be
crossing the international line freely

HOOVER AFTER RETAILERS
Food Dictator's Statement Shows That
Grower and Packer Have Been
Fair to Public.

Washington.-It is up to the retailer.
If he does not deliver the nations
food at it's several doors at reason
able price, means will be found to
make him do so. This, summed up, ex-
presses the attitude of Herbert e.
Hoover, Food Administrator, in an
nouncing that, subject to cooperation
of the farmer and the retailer, the
corner has been turned in high prices"
Most of the essential commodities
should, one after another, continue to
show reductions between now and the
end of the year." Mr.. Hoover said in
formal statement. "The Food Admin
istration has no control of either the
grower or his organization, nor of the
great majority of retailers. The dis
tribution chain lying between, that is,
the Wa lehouse, wholesalers, commits
sion men and manufacturers of prime
commodities, has required a great deal

Lanan,s Financial Aid to Russia.

A domestic loan Of $5O,OOO,OOO has
been arranged by Japan for Russia
a large part of which will be used to
pay for war supplies already ordered
by Russia in Japan. At present,
100000 Russian treasury bills held
in Japan matured on September 20
and were renewed. The bankers OF
Japan have so many demands for
money made upon them at present to
finance new enterprises that they are
not disposed to underwrite Russian
loans; therefore the government Will
issue exchequer bonds which may be
paid for with Russian treasury bills

Washington American SOL
diers and sailors lost their lives when
a German submarine torpedoed the
army transport Antilles. News OF this
first heavy blow struck against Amer
lea by Germany reached the Navy De-
partment from Vice Admiral Sims.
The Antilles was torpedoed while re-
turning to this country from France.
She was under convoy at the time, but
neither the torpedo. which sent her to
the bottom, nor the submarine was
sighted.
The men had no chance for their
lives. Struck abreast the engine room
bulkhead, the Antilles sunk like
plummet, going down in five minutes.
There were about 237 men aboard
her. Of these 1877 were saved, many
being reported to have been fished
from the waters by vessels OF the
convoy. The death list includes three
navy officers, four sailors and sixteen
soldiers. The rest of the victims were
members of the merchant crew.

TOO MANY EGGS ON ICE

Government and Reduce Losses
BY Feeding EN- to Soldiers.

Chicago, Ill.-Caught with a great
surplus of cold storage eggs, on which
they are losing $500 a car at present
prices, Chicago egg spectators have
appealed to the Government to save
them by making cold storage eggs a
part of the army ration. If their plea
is granted the eggs may endanger the
supremacy of the army bean in the
soldiers diet. Government reports
show that there are SSS,175 cases, or
26.615,250 dozens, more of eggs in
storage this month than a year ago.
They were bought in April, at an av-
erage priceof 371k cents a dozen.

IRREGULARI1Y IN
BUSINESS TO stop
WHEN OFFICIAL PRICE ScHED-

EXPECTED TO GET NORMAL.
Government Control of Shipping Ex-
pected to Assist-Egg Specuia-
tors Have Cornered Market.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York-There continues to be
considerable irregularity in business
owing to the numerous readjustments
still under way, but return to more
normal conditions is looked for when
the official price schedules are COM
pleted. Just at present regular bust
ness is impossible in the chief metals
because of Government orders, but in
textiles, especially cotton goods, buy
ing interest has remained active and
in some cases more business has been
offered than producers thought 1t wise
to accept. Some houses report an
active demand for spring goods, which
would seem to reflect the belief that
present satisfactory retail trade will be
maintained. Doubtless among the prin-
cipal factors to affect business in the
future which were brought to notice
during the past week were those relat-
ing to shipping and to food prices.
With regard to the first of these the
week saw the assumption of control
by the Government over the great bulk
of ocean-going tonnage. The announce
ment also was made that the ships
now buildings, which will be ready for
service before the end of the winter,
will aggregate tonnage OF million,
and that construction would be speed
ed up in every shipyard so as to as
sure the completion of perhaps 6,OOO,-
900 tons within year.
In the case of another food commod-
ity-eggs- price has been held at
an extortionate figure by ring of spec
ulators, who started early in the year
to put the articles in cold storage and
prevented them from coming to mar
ket.
