FIRST CALL SET
FOR SEPTEMBER /
REGISTRATION OF ALL ELIGIBLE
TO SELECTIVE DRAFT WILL
START IMMEDIATELY.

Official announcement that tho
first half million men of the nations
new army would be called to tho
colors about September 1, was made
by the war department this week fol-
lowing the passage by both the sem
ate and house of the selective draft
army bill.
Should the war last another year,
two out of every five of Americas
able-bodied young men will be called
out. The war machine will begin
formation in embryo, with voluntary
registration Of men who are eligible.
Slackers will be gone after later.
To Be Drawn by Lot.
OF the more than 100000 who
will register, between 100000 and
100000 will be drawn by some lot
!, terry method, probably the jury wheel
system, at once. After physical, in
, dustrial and other exemptions ara
allowed, 1t is expected that 100000
will remain. These will be placed
Immediately in training. Equipment
is expected to be ready for them at
once.
Estimates made by army men in
dictate that there are 10000 men
between the ages of 10 and rs in
the state of Washington subject to
the draft, and that, on the accepted
basis that about 40 per cent of those
available will be eliminated because
of physical defects, there would be
$4,000 physically fit, able-bodied
men qualified as to age, from among
whom the states quota would be
drawn. About $4,000 of these, It IN
estimated will come from Seattle.
Nine thousand men in this state
will be drafted for the first half mill
ion contingent of the new army, ac-
cording to estimates given out by tho
war department. In addition to this
there must be $3.50 volunteers to
meet its quota in filing up the regu-
lar army and national guard, a total
for Washington of 1880. If the
men don't volunteer there will DO
drafts also for the regular army and
guard.
Only q Few First Year.
"Only a small number Of this total
will be called during the first year."
Adjutant General Thompson of the
Washington National Guard said, in
verifying the figures. Under the
provisions Of the bill, as under
stand it, the government proposes to
increase by voluntary enlistment the
total strength of the regular army
and national guard to full war maxi
mum. This should give the country
100000 fighting men, trained and
practically ready to take the field
with a short period of training. Be-
sides this number. the plan is to raise
100000 men annually by the select
i've CONSUMPTION plan. This army,
naturally will require considerable
training and will not be ready for
immediate service. It's immediate
creation, however, is imperative.
while it is impossible even to
estimate the percentage of the total
eligible men that will be drawn from
this city and state, l am certain it
will be very small. The second ana
third years may draw more heavily
on the total, as the CONSUMPTION and
elimination Of men beyond the max
imum age will draw from the total
faster than the number approaching
conscriptible age will add to it,

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the cal. There is only one wav
to cure catarrhal deafness and
that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored 10 it's
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces. Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine acts thru the blood
on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Catarrhal

Pantcmimes.

The first pantomime introduced to
the English stage was Tavern Bill
kers' and was by John Weaver. This
was in the year 1902. 1t was produced
at Drury Lane. The great institutor Of
pantomime in England was. however,
John Rich, who devised this form of
entertainment In 1717. His first EN-
phatic success was in 1924. when he
produced "The Necromancer, or His
tory Of DR.. Faustus." So successful
was Rich with his pantomimes that
Garrick, Quin and. others became ex-
asperated. Rich lived to see panto-
mines firmly established at Drury
Lane and Covent Garden. He died In
