WASHINGTON. July 10 The

vited by the allied governments to par
ticipate in the inter-allied conference
to be held in Paris some time this
month but has decided that for the
present it will not be necessary to
take part in such meetings not directly

war.
It was officially explained at the
state department that while this course
was followed at present it was not to
be taken as an indication of perma-
nent policy. ........-
The Paris conference was stated in
the invitation to be largeriy military

this country to interfere in military

consideration Of expediency and jus.
tice urges one drawing in Washington.
Method for the Drawing.
I'm each group every registration
card has a red-inked number written
on it's face and these numbers run in
single series from unity ~ to the
number corresponding to the greatest
number of cards in the group. Nor.
mally this is from unity Q) to about
5000
Exact copies of the cards in each
group have been attested and sent to
the various state capitois. Lists show
ing the name of each man in each
group and the serial number OF his
card have been posted in the office
OF the board, published in the press,
and one copy is on file in Washington
There is, therefore, no chance of any
mans number being changed without
detection or Of any card being lost
beyond replacement.
Idea Of the Central Drawing.
Suppose there were just 5000
names and numbers in every group
1t is at once apparent that it would be
a very simple thing to have a central
drawing that would control the order
OF every name and number in every
group of the whole 10000 O00-just put
5000 numbers into bowl and draw
them out one at time The first
number drawn out would place the
1857 cards bearing that particular
number at the head Of every list In the
United States. The second number
drawn would put the cards bearing
that number second on all the list and
so forth.
Now the thing can not be done in
precisely this way, because there are
not precisely 5000 numbers in every
group. But the same idea with few
necessary notifications is the idea on
which the present drawing is based.
Drawing by Thousands
ITO draw 10000 separate numbers
would take ten hours and would null
tiply the chance of error. Moreover,
If the '9-thousands,' the '8-thousands,'
TIC t-tuouoouOo dLu Tue O-luOUSduQS
were scattered all over the master
list unfortunately the cancellation
by boards having small groups would
be very tedious and would open the
way to numerous errors. All this is
easily avoided.
Suppose we draw only 1000 num-
bers. We could then provide that the
drawing of the number 878 would also
draw the numbers 1878, 2s78, 1878,
1878, 1878, 687S, 1878, 1878 and 1878.
"In that way only 1000 numbers
need be drawn, and by making our
master list consist of one sheet for
each 1000 we could provide a master
list easily applicable to lists with
only 5000 numbers, since such boards
could disregard all except the first
three sheets.
1--WE should do this but for the fact
that this makes it certain that men in
the FIRST thousand would be called
first, men in the second thousand
next, and men with high serial num-
bers last of ALL
Since the assignment Of numbers
is also done by chance, this does not
interfere very greatly with the even
chance of all men, but it does inter-
fere to some extent. For this reason
it was decided to have one drawing
to determine the order within any
group of LOCO and another drawing

NOTE: Folks in town and adjoining
counties are delighted with the results
they have obtained by using r ANURIC,"
the newest discovery of DIR. Pierce, who
is head of the ISvALIDs' HOTEL and
SURGICAL INSTITUTE, in Buffalo, n. Y.
Those who started the day with a back
ache, stiff legs, arms and muscles, and
an aching head (worn out before the
day began because they were in and out
of bed half a dozen times at night are
approaching the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
DR.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets. To prove
that this is a certain uric acid solvent
and conquers headache, kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism, il
you've never used the NAnuric," cut
this out and send ten cents to Doctor
Pierce for large sample package. This
will prove to you that 7Anuric" is
thirty seven times more active than
lithia in eliminating uric acid-and the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector. II you are q sufferer, go TO your
best druggist and ask for a 50-cent box
Of vAnuric." You run no risk for DR..
Pierce's good name stands behind this
wonderful new discovery as it has for
the past half century for his VGolden
Medical Discovery" a general tonic
made from roots with pure glycerine
which makes the blood pure, his UFa-

and UPleasant Pellets" for nver ills.
