agree ON the selling figure. They figure
that they know how much they can lose

Every element of the old trial was
unfair
Mrs. Cecilia Blickensderfer. wife of
a Stamford millionaire manufacturer,
has entered the lists for Mrs. Gilligan
by advocating that the pardons board
commute her sentence. She may cir
culate monster petitions all over the
United States asking for Communication
of sentence.
No woman has been hanged in Con-
necticut since 1885. Mrs. Bessie Wake
field was sentenced to hang three
years ago but after petitions signed by
thousands had poured in, her SEN
tence was committed.
Both the daughter and Mrs. Blick-
ensderfer are in consultation with At
torney Holden, who defended Mrs.
Gilligan. marshalling every legal aid
they can to keep the condemned wom-
an from the scaffold- Mary Archer
is still living in the old home at Wind
sor. where. it was alleged Mrs. Gilligan
killed Frank Andrews, one of the
infirnl.
Hartford is divided into two camps
over the question of killing Mrs. Gill
ligan. The condemned woman her
self has given up fighting, leaving all

II STATES OUT
Haven't Yet Completed Organi-

Outline Schedule for Drafted
Man To Follow.

Washington, July 16.-With only
twelve states yet to report ready"
war department officials today hoped
the great draft lottery might be held
Saturday A burst of over-Sunday
speed filled the department cabinets
with nearly 1000 draft rolls-more
than eight million names of men eligi-
BILE for no democracy army. Unless
there is unlocked for delay, the draw
ing will be held not later than the
four hours after the drawing, the dis
trict exemption boards will begin cut
ting out men disqualified by physical
grounds and exempted by the manda-

provost marshal generals office and
the time allowed for them:
After the physical examination, the
drafted man must file his claim for ex-
emption, if any, within seven days.
Limited Days for Each Move.
He then has ten days to file aff1da-
Wits to support his claim.
Then he local board must decide on
the claim in three days. Within two
days thereafter the board must post
list of the men and the disposition
of the case.
Ten days are allowed to file an ap-
peal to the upper or appellate board

file additional affidavits of evidence to
support the claim.

days to pass upon the claim and mail
notice that the claim is good or that
the claimant must go to mobilization
camp.
The time limits are set to get men
into the camps at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Nominations for all appellate boards
are before President Wilson. Altho
yet unannounced, boards in three
states have been appointed. Many

CHOOSES BLOOD AND IRON"
Washington Sees Military Arm Weld
ing Control in German Govt.


Washington. July 16.-Kaiser Will
helm has staked his all on blood and
iron after hearkening to his military
men.
That is how international experts
here today sized up the German situa-
ton with Bethmann-Hollweg out and
the bureaucrat Michaelis chancellor.
The military men have told the
kaiser, according to information here,
that Germany's military machine can
win the war and he need not heed the
growing clamor of those who want
peace without annexations or indem-
mites. Resignation of Hollweg, the
man who could straddle between the
all-war junkers and the more peaceful
Social Democrats and Center party, in
dicates clearly to experts here that
from now on there will be no COM
promising.
Must Deliver the Goods.
AS authorities see it, Hindenburg
and Ludendorff are to have carte
blanche-and deliver the goods or
take the consequences.
The kaisers program will be to still
the murmurings of his people by
preaching the doctrines of his military
men, and claiming that German arms
will be victorious If the nation only
hangs on.
Michaelis faces a delicate situation.
There is the peace resolution support
ed by the reichstag majority parties
which will determine at the outset if
he is to take his orders from the mill
tarists or accept the reichstag will.
Out of this situation, experts here
expect the next great developments In
the German internal crisis.
