Conkling Hopes Prelimi-
nary Work Will Be Com
pleted This Morning
Instructions Sent Out
Officials Ordered to Hold
Themselves in Readiness
for Lottery

Unexpected hitches-several Of them
upset the plans of Deputy State At
torney General Roscoe s. Conkling and
the Mayors Committee on National
Defence to clean up yesterday the pre-
paratory work Of all the draft exemp-
tion districts in greater New York and
send the records to Washington and
Albany. At s o'clock last night about
fifteen districts out Of 1S9 had not
completed typewriting the serial lists
and REMEMBERING the duplicate regis
trstion cards.
Mr.. Conking said he hoped all the
clerical work in the backward districts
would be completed before morning.
The boards and clerks, he declared,
would not adjourn till the work was
finished.
While the few tagging boards were
cleaning up their work the Adjutant
Generals Office in Albany was sending
broadcast to exemption boards in this
city as we'll as throughout the state
blanks Of draft instruction and station
cry. The boards were ordered to hold
themselves in readiness for the draft
lottery and be fully prepared to pro-
ceed with examinations of drafted men.
The physical examination will be per-
formed by the physicians on the
boards, who are for the period Of the
draft full-fedged Federal officers.
Big Task Is Ahead
The exemption board officials have
learned already enough of their duties
TO harbor no illusions as to what is In
store for them. They will sit as a
board of examiners and as a court or
exemption to pass upon claims OF those
who feel that they have valid excuse
for being relieved from active military
service. There will virtually be le9
courts in session in New York City
throughout the draft lottery and for
few days after the drawing.
Mr. Conkling said that there would
be no further designations from the
exemption boards. The board officials
could not quit their jobs if they want
ed to, he said, unless legally disquali-
fed. He said most Of the vacancies
on the boards, caused by mistakes in
appointments, had been filed.
The boroughs of Queens and Rich
mond were the first to complete their
work. Both had turned in all their
records yesterday. The exemption dis
tricts not finished last night were
scattered through Manhattan. Brooklyn
and The Bronx. Most of them are in
congested sections Of the city.
The preliminary work in Exemption
District No. 6s, in Brooklyn, known as
the orphan district, because none OF
its officials could be found, was finished
yesterday by an army of volunteers
working at the headquarters OF the
Mayors Committee. 2S0 Broadway.
167th District Leads
Exemption District No. 167, with
beadouarters at 107 East l25th Street,
leads thus far in number of registrants.
There are 1896 young men OF draft age
in the district. which embraces Election
Districts IT to 81. inclusive, in Assem-
bly, District No. 80.

Sending of Northern
Troops to Train in
South Is Denounced

Washington, July 1s.-Attacks upon
the War Departments policy OF train
;ng National Guardsmen in Southern
camps continued to-day in the Senate
Senator Lodge wanted TO know why
II was that the National Guard from
New England is to be sent to Southern
training camps, while the army to be
raised by conscription Is to be trained
at q camp in Central Massachusetts,.
"If the Massachusetts camp is good
enough to drill one set Of troops IN
winter" ho asked, "why Is II not good
enough for tho others"
Senators La Folette and Watson also
voiced opposition to the sending OF
Northern troops to the Southern camps:
Senator. Watson expressed the belief
that there was something back of the
plan, other than military reasons.
Senator Knox said he had received
information that the camp at PAtts-
burg was to be broken up and trans
feired 20 q site st Atlanta. Senator
Wadsworth corroborated this report
and characterized tho policy as in

although the climate around Plattsburg
in the fall is ideal and training could
continue there as well as in the South.

by the officials of Michigan against the
sending of their National Guard to

something behind it which should be
explained.

the opinions of Major General Wood
and Surgeon General Gorgas had not
been asked by the department.
Several Southern Senators were
clamoring for recognition when the
discussion was ended by point OF

General CrolUder Plans
Draft Drawing Tomorrow;
Depends on Governors

Washington, July 1s.-Advices to-
day to Brigadier General Crowder,
Provost Marshal General, indicated
that the national lottery to determine
the order Of liability Of 100000 men
registered for military service could
be held next Friday. Preparations to
make the drawing on that day went
ahead rapidly, although final de-
cision as TO the date cannot be made
until the last Governor has actually
reported that the local exemption
boards in his state have finished their
task.
Details of the mechanism to be en-
ployed in the drawing have not been
revealed. 1t is known definitely, how
ever, that present plans are for the
lottery to take place in the Capitol
Building, with the members of the
Senate and House military committees
as witnesses. The entire proceeding
is not expected to take much more than
one hour.
General Crowder was in conference
to-day with the newspaper correspond
ents over arrangements for the draw
ing. The press is relied upon to carry
10 individuals throughout the country
the information as to when they will
be required to appear before exemp-
ton boards, and for that reason every
effort is being made to suit the con-
venience Of the papers as to details.
All states except three-New York,
Pennsylvania and Michigan--had re-
ported their local lists numbered for
the drawing when the provost mar
shall generals Office closed tonight.
officials said they had reports to indi-
cate that these states would report
themselves ready to-morrow, so the
drawing could be held Friday.

Finnish Senate Must
Quit if Lower House
Votes for independence

Helsingfors, Finland, July 16.-lf the
Bolsheviki, the majority faction of the
Social Democrats, succeeds in rush
ing through the Landtag on third read
ing tomorrow the bill for the inde-
pendence of Finland, the Senate, which
is Finland's Cabinet, will resign, and
the country will be left without a gov
ernment, in a state bordering on an
archy. This conclusion is inevitable
il one accepts the statements Of Fin
lands most prominent public men.
Senator Settaele, Minister of Edu-
cation, told The Associated Press that
all twelve members OF the Senate.
which includes six Socialists, would
be compelled to resign in the event of
passage of the independence bill, mas
much as the Senate, rs the supreme
guardian of the law, could not promul-
gate a revolutionary enactment in vio-
lation Of the laws of the country. The
constitution requires the Senate to
promulgate the laws only after they
have been sanctioned by Russia, so
that il the Landtag succeeds in estab-
fishing Finland's independence without
the consent Of Petrograd the Senate
must resign.
Socialists to Form Senate
Thereafter the Socialists in the
Landtag would form their own revolu-
tionary Senate. on which would rest
the responsibility for conflict with
Russia.
On his return TO Helsngfors. Pre-
mier Tokoi admitted he could not follow
Senator Settaelae in fatty condemning
the policy Of the Landtag. He said he
supported the independence law in
principle, but that, though q strong

Will Choose l,l70
Army Officers at
Plattsburg Aug.
lBy Telegraph 10 The Tfbunel

Plattsburg, July 1s.-To officer twen-
ty-six regiments of the National Army.
Colonel Wolf will announce on August
l the names of Ito training candi-
dates and reserve officers, who. il not
already commissioned, will receive
their bars before the close of the camp,
on August IA.
This disposed of, the selection of as
many more will be made and announced
at the same time, these men becoming
officers of the Reserve Corps, and will
60 to their homes at the end of the
camp to await orders. Thus, 2,340 Of
the 1928 candidates and reserve off,
GERS will be disposed Of Then 400 will
be recommended for commissions in
the Quartermaster's Corps; $50 for
commissions as second lieutenants in
the regular army; $50 for commissions
in the Ordnance Department, and five
to the Intelligence Bureau, leaving a
balance of ,4S3 men. From this,
Plattsburg, it is believed, will furnish
500 men to the aviation schools between
now and the close of the camp. The
remaining 1000. between August l.,
when the recommendations are made.
and the closing date, may pick up
where they have not been found pro-
ficient and have recommendations made
that they attend second camp.
This would, officers point out. pre-
vent the men from being drafted. and
at the same time give them a double
chance to make good. Those who fail
to make good showing at the end
of camp will be discharged.
Lieutenant General Vladimir Roop,
Of the Russian mission, accompanied
by his aid and Major NJ X. Averill,
L. S. A., formerly an attache at St.
Petersburg, visited the camp to-day,
having dinner with Colonel Wolf and
spending the afternoon about the camp,
giving considerable Of his time to the
trenches, rife range and bayonet exer-
cises. He also visited the New Eng
land battalion, which was nine miles
from here on an overnight hike. He
spent the night here. and will leave
at daybreak for the training camp at
Madison Barracks.
Two men were discharged to-day, one
for physical disability and the other
for misconduct.

Chances Ia to l
Against Being Drafted
In New York State

Albany, July 1S.--The chances are
about fourteen to one against any indi-
vidual who registered in New York on
June s being drawn for the selective
army, it was announced to-day at the
Office of Adjutant General Stotesbury.
These odds were computed in this man
ner:
New York's quota for war service has
been figured by Washington authorities
at l22,2l2 men. From this was taken
the number Of National Guardsmen on
April l, 1917, the number of Guard en-
listments to June 80, which was 16,SSs,
and the number of enlstments in the
United States army since April, or
1883. giving the state an allowance OF
b2,97l. Therefore, the state must fur
nish 6924l men for the new army, or
one man out Of every l4.5 who regis

Disouieting reports from Russia In
dicate the strong possibility of the
formation of a Socialist Cabinet under
Tseretelli, following the demonstrations
of the Maximalist soldiers and civilians.
Several big factories have been forced
to close because of the strike.
Serious as is the news from Petro-
crsd. it causes no more anxiety than
the situation at the front, to which
Kerensky has hurriedly returned after
a flying trip to the capital. The enemy
has mobiiized considerable forces since
his initial setback there, and there is
naturally an anxiety to learn whether
Brusiloff has sufficient munitions to
meet the test which seems inevitable.
OF minor Importance. but worth re-
cording in order to keep a complete
history of the European revolutionary
movement, are the arrests of Private
Secretary Lerroux, the Socialist leader.

Tomorrow Michaelis makes his first
speech in the Reichstag as Chancellor,

course he follows, but just as i'm
