LAST CITY DRAFT LIST
TO BE FINISHED TODAY
Work in Twenty-second Division,
With One-Man Board, Will
Be in Washington Monday

Joseph W Gardiner, wao stuck to his
post as a member Of the exemption board
Of the Twenty-second division. which has
the same boundaries as the Twenty-siXth
Ward, when the other two members Of the
board quit owing to Government connec-
tions, expects to complete his serlally mum.
bered list today. He hopes TO forward it
to Provost Marshal General Crowder so as
to have 1t in his hands on Monday.
When this divisions list is in the hands
of the Government the reports from Phila-
delphia will be complete. So far no errors
have been found i'm the lists Of the various
divisions, and as most Of them have been
in the Provost Marshals hands long enough
to have been read. the indications are that
Philadelphia will be ready for the draft
any day after Monday morning
The Government IL doing all it can to let
each man who is registered know that he
must himself find out whether his name Is
drawn for the first army. The individual
must learn his serial number from the
headquarters Of his local board Usually
these headquarters are in police stations,
but in some cases they are in fire houses and
Offices or residences of members OF boards,
When the serial number has been learned,
the individual must wait until the news
papers announce the numbers drawn for
conscription in Washington.
The question has been brought up as to
whether the police should not make a COM
plete canvass Of the city to notify each man
registered that he must keen track of events
in the conscripton. II is probable, however,
that the police will do nothing for the pres
ent. as II Is apparent that General Crow
der has some means Of quickly dealing with
men who do not report when their numbers
are drawn.
Travelling men, It has been found, will
have plenty of opportunity to enter claims
Of exemption from the army draft without
wasting time in their home cities dis
tricts Many travelling men have been at
tempting to find out the procedure in their
ca SEES. as they do not want to wait at home
until the numbers are drawn or TO return
from a distance TO enter claims for exemp-
ton
Section % of the regulations states def-
nitely that such individuals can have their
exemption arguments heard by local boards
other than the boards In their home dis
tricts. The wording of the section follows:
when the order i'm which a person liable
to be called for military service has been
determined and the notice that he has been
called for service is given, II 1t is shown 70
the satisfaction of the local board having
Jurisdiction OF his registration card that be-
cause of his permanent removal or neces-
sary absence II Is impractical for him to
be physically examined by or TO file claim
Of exemption with such local board, an order
may be entered directing his examination
by another local board.

PENR0SE COMING HOME
FOR POLITICAL CONFAB
Talk of Harmony Induced by
Vice Scandal, but Senator
Noncommittal

Pennsylvania politics will absorb the
attention Of Senator PcnrOse and the Re-
publican leaders for the early days of next
week. The former leaves Washington to-
night for Philadelphia, where he will spend
Monday and Tuesday in conference with
city and State leaders.
While there has been talk of harmony
between the Vare- e-Brumbaugh and PEN

day declined to confirm any such pact
His friends say, however. that there will
be no open fight this fall, except perhaps
in Pittsburgh.
The trend is toward harmony and the
exposure OF vice in Philadelphia. which

George d. Portcr'5 Caution to
Mayor Bacharach, Who Likes
Philadelphia System

Mayor BacharaCh. of Atlantic city, is
going 10 reorganizc the Atlantic city police
and use the Philadelphia police organization
as a pattern. He wi probably get little
advice from George D. Porter, Phila-
delphias Director of Public Safety under
the Biankenburg administration. Mayor
Bacharach seems to think the reorgan-
izaton will solve the police problem at the
shore, but eX-DircCtOr Porter warns that
it will not be so easy.
"The Philadelphia police are all right
when they are let alone and the politicians
hands are kept off them" said Porter today.
"lf Mayor BaCharach can get the Atlantic
city department organized az the Philadel-
phia Bureau Of Police Is, aud then keep
them free from the hands of the politicians
-as the Philadelphia police are mott will
he q good thing for the shore. But If he
can't keep the politicians away, God help

Mayor BacharaCh conferred with Lieu
tenant SCauon, of the Philadelphia police
lent by Philadelphia at request of Mayor
BaCharaCh, and then sent for chief of
Police Robert Miller and Captain Of De-
teCtives James Malseed. He told them
there must be greater vigilance and the
Boardwalk must be cleared Of disreputable
characters. Saloon and cafe proprietors
must obey the law.
Scanlon is to head squad Of "plain

there have been some changes Detective
Brubaker has been put back in his old job

a debacle.
North Of the Dniester. striking from the
recently captured town of Halcz, the Rus
SLAMS have occupied strongly fortified
heights. where the Austro-Germans were
expected to make a stand, and have driven
the enemy northeast OF Khius, storming
the villages of Studzlanka and Podhorri on
the way.
Southwest Of Kalusz, former headquarters
of the ustro-German army, Kornilof's VIC
torious troops have taken ! erhinsko, west
Of Bohorodozany, and on a crossing OF the
Lomnica. Unofficial advices from Petrograd
assert also that the Russians have occupied
Krechvice which lies more than two-thirds
Of the way between Kalusz and Dolina,
while Russian horsemen have penetrated
more than fifteen miles northwest of Kausz
on the road toward Stryj. The rapidity OF
this pace seems almost unbelievable and
the unofficial news may be premature.
German reserves were flung into the bat
Gle for Kalusz along the north bank Of the
Lomnica, and, according to Berlin. have
stopped the Russian advance there, though
fresh battles south of the city are ad-
mitted
During the fight for Kalusz Korniloff's
forces captured $50 officers and men, five
beavy guns and ten machine guns. The fact
that the prisoners were mostly Germans
shows that the Kaiser's reserve have been
called on 10 stffen the resistance Of their
shattered allies. The forces OF the Dual
Monarchy are now split into two great
bodies, the troops in the north being
crowded back against the defenses along the
Zlota Lipa, while those in the south are
being forced into the Carpathian foothills
Communication between them, except IN the
most roundabout way, Is severed.
There are strong indications that Brusi.
Ion, having driven a wide wedge in the
Teuton defense belt. is about TO strike with
all his power on both sides of the broken
line. All .he preliminaries OF a general Of
fensive are apparent on the Rumanian
front. along the entire line commanded by
Arehduke Joseph.
