LITTLE LIKELIHOOD OF
 DRAFT UNTIL NEXT WEEK
Only Twenty one States Have Report ed Their Organization Complete.

Washington, July 11.-Postponement until next week of the drawing of numbers of the men who will be call ed for examination for the national army seemed probable today when it became evident that states are not completing organization of their dis trict exemption boards rapidly as war department officials had hoped. Only twenty-one states have reported their organization complete, although in most others only a few districts are missing. The drawing will not be made until the lists for the country are complete.
 A so-called revised census estimate for the entire country, compiled on the basis of the draft registration, will be for determining apportionments- Each city, county or state must fur nish two-thirds of one per cent. of it's paper population, acI;rding to the new estimates, which were made for the purpose of equalizing the draft rather than to represent accurate pop ulation totals.
 166 Men From Cities of 25, 600.
 Thus New York city, with an esti- mated population of 6.504,1S must give 43,4S2 of 6S70OO young men to be called on the first draft. A city with 25,O00 population would be re ouired to give 166 men. These appOr tionments would be subject to slight allowances for alien enemies, for men
  causes.
 The population estimates. far from attempting to show actual population. simply are improvised figures reached by considering the number of regis trants in each sub division as 9.32 per cent. of the population. since the total mum Der registered 9.659.3s2. was 9.32 per cent. of the total estimated population, 1o2I35,30o. The process resulted in large dummy population showings for cities with war indust- ries where there has been recent inflow of workmen without their fam lilies. Since the figures are based on the number of men available for miIi- tary service, however, officials con- slider the estimates fair as basis for appOrtionment.
 Pleas for exemption of any man need not be made by him. but may be entered by a wife, other depend- ents, employer or any other third per son, the provost marshaI-generaPs of flee explained in a statement It also explained that any registered man absent from his home district need not return for physical examination but may be ordered hy his home board to be examined elsewhere.
 Estimates of Population.
 The dummy population estimates by states include Connecticut 1,719.623: Massachusetts 3e9S9,561; Maine 646,- 5Ss; New Hampshire 403. SS4 New Y 4ork 11.1S7.79S; Rhode Island 73.5S3: Vermont 296,42

NO DECISION REACHED
 AT STEEL CONFERENCE.
Producers Give Assurance of Cooper
 ation With Government.

Washington. July 11.-Government officials and a special committee rep resenting the American iron and steel industry began conferences today re- garding the needs of the government for steel in it's war program. After a session of several hours it was an nounced that no conclusions had been reached, that there had been no dis cussion of prices, but that the pro- ducers had given hearty assurances of corporation in the war problems facing the country.
 In the conferences were Secretary Baker, Secretary Daniels, Chairman Denman of the shipping board and Bernard Baruch of the defense coun- cirs raw materials committee. Secre- tary Baker issued a statement saying that "pending the inquiries of the federal trade commission. no consid eration was given to the subject of prices" adding: The discussion took a wide range, involving statistics and estimates of possible production and further estimates will be submitted by the manufacturers in the morning, when the conference will eb contin- ued.'

A THIRD SINN FEiNER
 RETURNED TO PARLIAMENT
Unexpectedly Large Majority For Ed
 ward de Valera.

London, July 1.-The election of Edward de Valera. as member of par liament for East Clare. the third Sim F'einer to be returned to parliament of late, by the unexpectedly large ma jority of nearly 5000 in a constituent Cy which for years has returned the official nationalist candidate unoppos- ed, has caused the greatest surprise and disappointment Tn nationalist cir cles and nisgiving among politicians generally as to the prospects of the Irish convention.
 The most sangUine Sim F'einers only hoped for majority of from 900 to L. 500 and this revelation of how deeply Ireland is permeated with a repug- nance of the Irish policy of the gov ernment and with objection to nation alist cooperation in the ministerial attempts to secure an Irish settlement is regarded as a bad omen for the success of the convention. The Sim Feiners have steadily refused to have anything to do with the proposed con vention and although the incident will not interfere with the holding of the convention, it is feared that without Sim F'ein representation it's decisions will not satisfy the Irish people

DISCLOSURE OF ANTl-WAR
 ACTIVITIES IN NEBRASKA. Leaders of Lutheran Church Charged
 With DisIoyaT Activities.

Lincoln, Neb., July 11.-Anti- war activities in Nebraska which, in the opinion of the state council of defense, tend to give aid and comfort to Ger many, have been disclosed by the council in a statement it issued today church and certain professors in the state university with "treasonable ut eterances and disloyal activities
 Specifically, it is charged that bank CTS who invested in Liberty loan bonds were thraetened with withdrawal of deposits; that the sale of war bonds has been actively opposed; that Red Cross relief work has met with an alarming antagonism; that the Luther an church has failed to take a single step toward organizing for war relief work and its conspicuous representa- tives'' have shown marked partiality for the German cause: that certain professors at Nebraska university have been guilty of disioyal utterances, and that there are communities where the sympathies of the people are with Germany.
 The names of men accused were not made pubic. but George Coupland, vice chairman of the council of defense and head of the food conservation division Of the council, said: Conditions be- came such that the council could no longer repress the bitterness it felt He said ample evidence to warrant it's assertions had been obtained.
 Chancellor Samuel Avery of the University of Nebraska. who has been very active in patriotic relief work and has taken part in the campaign it is known he has strongly disavowed utterances of several professors whose pro-German remarks have caused dis consions at the university.

REPORT BY PUBLIC
 UTILITIES COMMISSION
On Investigation of Complaints
 Aqainst the Connecticut Company.

Hartford Conn. July 11.-As a re- suit of a prolonged investigation of complaints filed against the Connecti- cut company, including charges of in adequate service and undesirable traf- fic conditions, the pubic utilities com mission today made public the follow ing:
 The absence of a positive order should not be construed to relieve the Connecticut company from it's charter obligations to furnish adequate ser vice. nor from the exercise and man date of good judgment, based upon eX- perience and careful consideration of all the circumstances, to anticipate fu- ture traffic conditions and needs and reasonab ply provide for the same"
 The commissions report does not include recommendations that the in adequate service complained of be inn proved at this time.
 The investigation resulted from nu- merous complaints received by. the commission from a number of towns depending upon the Connecticut con- pany for trolley service. The company was ordered by the commission to show cause why an order should not be issued compelling it to make i'm provements requested by cities and towns complaining.

CHANG HAS WITHDRAWN
 TO THE IMPERIAL CITY Troops Are Fast Desertinq the Chi nese Inperialist Leader.

Washington, July 1--ErtTy of the republican troops into Pekilg vas an nounced in Q despatch to the Chinese legation today indicating that the monarchia1 coup d'etat had come to a complete failure
 The despatch was the first in two weeks to come through direct from the Picking foreign office. The second and final abdication of the Manchu emperor, Hsuan Tuns, it is said. is expected momentarily along with the arrest of General Chang Hsun, the military adventurer responsible for the coup.
 General Chang has withdrawn to the imperial city. a sacred section of Peifng. where 1t is reported his troops are fast desert1ng him
 Apparently Chang i= not now in a position to carry out his threat to de- stroy the priceless temples of the city, for deseTtions are thought to have left him so weak that secret flight alone remains possible
 The legation despatches are not clear as to whether President Ii re- ported to have fled to the Japanese returned to his office or whether Act ing President Feng EWo Chang is still serving There is thought now to be no reason, however. why Ii should not take over the authority once again and re-establish the coaIi- ton government
 Today's despatches reported the minister of foreign affairs on the ground of i'll health. Dr. Wu has re- signed several times before but it is thought that. now the republic has wearhered it's most serious storm, he will retire from office permanently.
