If more are needed to provide a net
quota of $4,000 soldiers, those stand
ing next in order will be summoned
. So too, will the choice pass on down
! the line when future increments are
ordered to the colors by the president.
Military men estimate that about
every other man summoned will be
exempted, and on that basis the TO-
, 100000 whose order of liability is to
be determined today should yield close
to 100000 soldiers before the roll is
exhausted.
The first of the $4,000 men to be
| actually called into servce.those
standing at the very top of the liza
bility list-probably will go to fill the
, rank of the regular army to war
strength. Something like 10000 will
/ be needed for that, and they may be
called before September Then a
: large number next in order probably
will be assigned to fill the National
Guard to war strength, and the re-
mainder-about 500, ,000-assembled
as the national army.
Every precaution was taken to
make the drawing today absolutely
fair to every one of the registrants.
|. Although $50 a. m. was set for be-
ginning the drawing it may be late to-
night before it is finished.
The 10000 numbers drawn were 1
to 10,50O. The order in which they
are drawn determines the order in
which the men having corresponding
serial mum bers on their cards in the
local districts will be liable for serv-
ice.
The public hearing room in the
Senate Office building was selected as
the site of the drawing. The wit
nesses selected were the members of
the Senate and House military COM
mittees.
There was a few minutes delay in
starting the drawing to permit NOV
ing picture operators and photograph
ers to take pictures for the setting.
Baker Draws First Number.
Secretary Baker was the first man
to withdraw a capsule-enclosed slip
from a great glass bowl. Blindfolded,
he drew number 258. In every dis
trict in which as many as 258 men are
registered number 25s heads the list
of those to be called.
Chairman Chamberlain of the Sem
ate military committee drew the Sec
ond number
'The second number is 2,522,"
shouted the announcer. The hand
kerchief then was laced over the eyes
of Chairman Dent Of the House mill
tary committee and he drew the third
mum Der, 9,613.
Senator Warren and Representa-
tive Kahn, ranking minority members
of the Senate and the House military
committees, drew the next two num-
bers, 1852 and 1O,21s. Ma j.-Gen
Tasker H. Bliss. acting chief of staff
of the army, drew the sixth number.
Just then a round OF handclapping, the
first applause to break the silence and
solemnity of the occasion, burst out.
The sixth number is ass the an
nouncer shouted in stentorian tones.

Majority Resolution Adopted By Wide Mar

DESIRIOUS OF PEACE BUT WILL

Copenhagen, July 2o-The Reichstag yesterday
adopted the majority peace resolution by vote of 214
116 with II not voting.

dicates a willingness to make peace
only as viotors and In his use Of
words understanding" and "give and
take" (the German words verstaend-
igung und ausgleich) he revives the
Bethmannic ideas of readjustment of
the frontiers apd colonial possessions
by bargaining rather than the restor-
alton of the status quo. Peace, no
said, must offer the foundation of
lasting reconciliation of nations.
Loud cheers greeted this statement
New Britain herald., 1917-07-20

Copenhagen, July 20.-Chancellor
Michaelis in his address before the
Reichstag said Germany would not
continue the war a day longer If it
could obtain an honorable peace.
Americas Intervention was not re-
garded with serious concern. The
German feet, particularly the sub
marines, would master the situation,
he said. ..ei
Although said Chancellor Mi
chaelis to the Reichstag, "English
statesmen knew, as shown by their
blue book the Russian mobilization
must lead to war with Germany they
addressed not a word of warning to
Russia against military measures
while my predecessors instructions.
July 9, 1914, to the ambassador at vi
emma, directed him to say that we
willingly fulfill our duty to an ally
but must refuse to permit ourselves to
be involved in a world war through
Austria Hungary disregarding our
counsels. The men who wishes to
kindle a world war does not write like
this but like a man who is laboring
and has labored for peace to the ut
most.
THE concentration of the Russian
army compelled Germany to seize the
sword There was no choice left to
us and what is true of the war itself
is true also of our weapons, particu-
larly the' submarine. We deny the ac-
cusation that the submarine warfare
is contrary to international law and
violates the rights of humanity.
ITALY, even through the eleventh
Isonzo battle against our war-tired
Austro Hungarian brothers, will not
be able to attain the goal of its
breach of faith-the possession of
Trieste.
America Considered Feeble Factor.
1--WE look without serious concern
upon the optimistic sentiment in the
Entente countries caused by Amerl-
ca's Intervention. 1t Is easy to reckon
how much tonnage necessary to
transport an army from America to
Europe, how much tonnage Is requlr-
ed to feed such an army. France and
England are scarcely able to feed and
supply their own armies without IN
Huencin2 the economic situation still
further. After our previous success
we shall be able to master this situa-
ton also through our feet, particular
" the submarine. That is our firm
our allies, therefore, can look for
ward to any further development OF
military events with calm security.
1.-THE burning question in our hearts
however, is how much longer the wal
IS to last With this I come to a mat
ter which stands in the center OF all
our interest and all our proceedings
today. Germany did not desire the
war in order to make violent con-
ouests. and therefore will not contin
ne the war day longer merely fol
the sake Of such conquests, II 1t coulc
obtain an honorable peace
The Germans, he said, wish to con
c1nde neace as combatants who havt
successfully accomplished their pur
nose and proved themselves invincibl@
first A condition OF peace was 'ht
inviolabilitv Of Germanys territory
No marley was possible with the en-
envy demanding the cesslon or Ger
man soil.
I'VE must bv means of understand
Ing and in q spirit Of give ana tPke

mont and over seas" continued th(
chancellor.

Experience

l logged along a country road
in my large choo-choo dragon,
and met farmer with load of
pumpkins in his wagon. GO
back, go back" the granger said,
through whiskers long and ruddy /;
YOU'D best turn round-the road
ahead is dangerous and muddy"
"I.never yet have seen the pike
I said, that scared this auto, and
I'll go on, So help me Mike, for
Get There is my motto" drove
into a marshy hole, when I had
gone some distance, and farmers
took away my roll for giving me
assistance. We toiled and
wrought a night and day, to rem
edy my folly, and when again I
took my way, I reeked with mel
ancholy. The road of life is much
the same, the road we. blithely fol-
low; we're warned by men who've
played the game, to shun the
swampy hollow. They tell us
where the way is worst, and
where the bridge is rotten, and
when we've gone a half verst
their counsel is forgotten. We
will not learn from sage and seer
who've walked the path before us;
we greet the prophet with a sheer
and wise men only bore us. And
every day we pay the price the
cost this course engenders; we
stick in mud and break through
ice, and bust ottr best suspenders.
