PREPARING FOR
IMMEDIATE DRAFT
Conscription Will Begin Within
.TenDays After Bill is Signed.
is BIG CAMPS TO BE FORMED
To Round Up All Subjects To Call.
Forms For Draft Already Pre- /
pared r. Building the
Cantonments.

Washington. - With enactment OF
the Selective Draft Army bill ap-
parently assured, the War Department
is preparing to set machinery in
motion without delay to produce under
the measure within two years a train
ed army of 100000 men. g -
Minor differences in the measure as
it will pass the two houses probably
will necessitate a conference, but the
bill is expected to be ready for Presi-
dent Wilson's signature by the middle
of the week.
Champions in the House of an
amendment designed to permit
Colonel Roosevelt to recruit a volun-
teer force for immediate service in
France lost their fight on the first vote
taken after the close of general de-
bate. The amendment, offered by
Representative Austin, of Tennessee,
and vigorously supported by Repre-
sentative Gardner, of Massachusetts,,
and others, was defeated, 40 to 106.
Among those who voted for it was
Miss Rankin, of Montana, who tear
fully opposed the war resolution.
Within 10 days after the bill is
signed every township in the country
will be registering it's young men for
duty, and work will have begun on
the 16 training cantonments or camps
where preparation of the forces for
war will start in August or Septem-
ber Sites for the cantonments have
been selected tentatively and all ar
signed to each.
Wide publicity is planned, so that
no man liable for registration will
have a good excuse for failing to re-
spond. On a date to be set, every
citizen affected by the act will be re-
present himself at the nearest regis
tration place, where machinery will be
provided for classifying the recruits
and eliminating those exempt. Doubt
full cases will be referred to higher
authority.
Decentralization of administrative
work will be sought by the depart
ment in every move it makes. De-
tails will not be disclosed until the
bill has passed, but it is known that
registration will be carried on through
sheriffs and other county officials,
aided by postmasters or other Federal
agencies where that seems desirable.
Instructions and forms already have
been prepared and will be forwarded
to the State Adjutant-General for dis
tribution among county officials.
With the rolls of those liable for
service complete, the task of selecting
the men to go into the first increment
of 100000 will begin. 1t has been sug-
gested that this be done by means of
the county jury wheel. The first man
whose name is drawn would go, under
that plan, with the first 100000 to be
called out for training within a few
months. The second drawn would go
with the second increment, to be call
ed six months later; the third with
the third increment, with duty year
off; the fourth with the first incre-
ment, and so on.

meg and brown sugar makes most
palatable dessert.

S4OO,0OO,0OO FOR
ALL|ESEACH MONTH
To Aid in Supplying Armies With
Supplies.
BIGGEST SUM FOR BRITAIN
All To Be Expended In This Country.
McAdoo Contemplating Addi-
tional Issues Of Treas
ury Certificates.

| Washington. = Preliminary reports
to the Treasury Department, upon
which Secretary McAdoo will base his
recommendations to the President as
to the size of the first bond issue
under the $1,000, 100000 war finance
law, indicate that the United States
will be called upon to finance the
Allies to the extent of at least $40O,-
100000 and possibly $500,000,000 a
month.
Biggest Sum For Britain.
The tentative program also calls for
the expenditure of virtually every dol
lar of the borrowed money in this
country for foodstuffs, munitions, coal,
clothing, railway equipment and other
supplies.
The estimates, still incomplete and
subject to revision, indicate the fol-
lowing Entente needs:
For Great Britain, $200,000,000 to
$3.50, 900, 900 month; for France, from
$1OO,OOO,OO0 to $125,O0O,000; for Rus
sia, sum undetermined, but up to
$10O,000,000 a month, depending large
ly upon the ability of manufacturing
plants in this country to meet her de-
mands, mostly for supplies other than
foodstuffs and munitions; for Italy,
about $50,000,000 month.
May Pare Estimates.
| Should these requirements be met
in their entirety the $3,000,000, 900
available for lending the Allies would
be exhausted in from six to seven and
one-half months. 1t is likely, however,
that the preliminary estimates can be
pared down to a point where, without
omitting essentials, the huge loan
could be made to cover requirements
for much longer period of time, pos
sibly for one year.
Indications were not lacking that
Mr.. McAdoo would consider favorably
the suggestion that he offer soon an
other block of Treasury certificates
to the banks of the country through
the Federal Reserve Banks. The sec
ond offering, it was said, probably
would be the same size as the first
$3.50, ,000, ,000-and might be offered
within 10 days. Should the Govern
ment decide to finance the Allies to
the extent of $5OO,OO0,OO0 a month ap-
proximately $1,000,000,00O would be
needed to meet requirements prior to
June 30 the date upon which the first
proceeds of the bond issue probably
will be available.
Withdrawing money from the mar
kets at the rate of $250,000,000 every
two or three weeks by the issues of
blocks of certificates, officials believe,
would be preferable to sudden call
for proceeds of a $2,000,000,000 bond
issue. Thus should $1,000, 100000 in
certificates be issued prior to June 80
half of a $2,O0O,O0O,O00 bond issue will
virtually have been withdrawn from
the money markets prior to its issue,
as the certificates carry the conver-
sion privilege and doubtless would be
exchanged for bonds.
In this manner, X is thought, the
banks of the country will be in a
strong position to meet the strain of
war financing and minimum disturb
ance of financial conditions would re-

SI be used to take the
~ place of milk. OF
course where milk
is abundant there is no excuse for the
economy, but with milk ten and even
fifteen cents quart the expense may
be saved.
The tedious process of creaming the
butter and sugar is not necessary for
an everyday cake; the fat may be
warmed not melted, then it mixes
quickly; the eggs beaten and added
first, the whites folded in at the last.
Another and still shorter cut is per-
formed in the following manner-beat
the eggs with the sugar, add flour and
other ingredients used and stir in the
melted butter or fat at the last, then
give the cake a good beating and see
what tasty fine-grained cake you
have with little time expended
When using any fat instead of butter,
salt must be added to bring out the
flavor. Pastry flour is smoother in
texture than bread flour and cakes and
pastry made from it are fine-grained
and better texture. 1t does not need
the many siftings which bread flour
seems to require.
Fats skinned from the tops of soups
is vegetables have not been cooked in
it, drippings from roasts and chicken
fat are all good fats to use in cake
making. When the fat is melted and
added last, the cake should not be
stirred much until after the fat is
+ added, then give it good beating, by
stirring before, it seems to tougher the
texture.
Prune Cake.-Three eggs one cupful
of powdered sugar, three tablespoon
fuls of sour cream, two cupfuls Of
flour, (two tablespoonfuls or less if you
use bread flour), one teaspoonful of all
spice, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon,
cupful of cooked, finely cut prunes,
half teaspoonful of soda and three
fourths of cupful of melted butter
added at the last, then give good
beating.
