Washington, June 23.-Rcguations
for drafting the new national army,
now awaiting President Wilson's ap-
prOval, contain provision for every
step in the great undertaking., except
the actual method of the draft itself

AS the regulations stand now.
every registered man bears a number.
The numbers will be forwarded to
Washington and the drawing will be
entirely by number. The identify of
the numbered men will be entirely nm
known to those in charge of the draft
machinery and can be established on
~ by comparing the number with =
printed list in the mans home district
AS the numbers are drawn, thrv
will be teiegraphcd to the home dis

place and so on.
In this way all those available for

 NEW YORK, June 23.-Some very sensational developments are expect ed in the investigation now being made of the white slave traffic here. It develops that Alfred Coochi, who fled to Italy after the murder of caught in Rome, was formerly on the New York police force as a member of the motorcycle squad, and as result it is believed that at least dozen other motorcycle po- licemen will be investigated for al legged complicity in crimes of the same sort All of the men suspect ed will be suspended from the force immediately and will be closely Coochi, who, It is stated in advices received here from Rome, has con fessed to the murder of the Cruger girl.
 It is now believed that Coochi and his accomplices, as arms of the law, made their girl victims believe that they were doing nothing wrong in entering a life of shame. It was the object of the gang, it is asserted, to start the girls on the downward path and then to graft off their earnings.
 After he was dismissed from the force Coochi supposedly entered the bicycle repair business, and it was beneath the floor of his shop that the body of the Cruger girl was found It is now believed that the suspected members of the motorcycle force were in league with Coochi and that he was the gobetween with them and the girls It has even been suggested that a number of higher up police officials are connected with the outrages, and Commissioner Woods has ordered a complete in vestigation of all the charges.
