Government Determined to Stop the
Sending Of Military Information
to Germany

WASHINGTON-All German diplom-
attic agents will be cleaned out Of the
United States as the government pro-
ceeds with the stopping of the leaks
Of military and naval information.
Bernsdorf's assistants, remaining in
America where they were in the Ger
man envoys department, will leave
for Berlin, high government official
stated today. H. Cahusshausen and
M Berne, German consular secretar-
les, will leave first. The state depart
ment arranged for their departure to-
day. Others, including German con-
suls, German clerks and others will
follow. American employees in the
Spanish embassy in Berlin, assisting
in handling American interests, will
be removed by Germany Immediately

How DRAWING is MADE
One Number Drawn in Washington
Designates 1000 Men for Military
Service in the Nation

WASHINGTON-The fate of 9,649,-
600 registered men in the Tinted
States is today held in a huge glass
bowl filled with little gelatine cap
sules. Numbers on little squares of
paper, in each of these capsules, will
designate the men drafted for the Am
erican armies. The final plan of this
unique method for singing out the
men for the first reilitary levy is now
before Secretary Baker Unless there
lis shift made in the present ar
arrangements the method followed in the
first lottery will be as follows:
Sheriff papers numbered serially
will be placed in the capsules and
thrown into the big transparent globe
On the day of the draft the capsules
will be drawn at random. Each slip
of paper indicates that every man
bearing that number in each of more
than 1000 counties and cities in the
nation, is drafted.
Slips will be numbered from one to
as high as the number of men reg
istered in the highest precinct in the
nation. The drawing will probably
be held in large room in the war
department A committee OF prom

BOYS OF j. s. 4.
WILL BE GIVEN
WHOLESOME GRUB
ARMY STAFF DETERMINED TO
PREVENT RECURRENCE OF
FOOD SCANDALS

WASHINGTON-Th national army
will be we'll fed if preparation counts
for aught.
The general staff is working ON a
plan to feed the more than half mill
| lion rockies who will assemble in the
16 cantonments for training next fall.
The variety of the men will neces-
sarily be limited to the regular army
ration. But it will be properly pre-
pared and served.
In recent wars the grub" of the
valiant volunteer has been the object
of scandal. 1t was "embalmed beef
in the Spanish war. On the border
last year the National Guard hOwled
Justify against the army mess The
answer was incompetent cooks.
To guard against repetition of such
complaints the general staff has COM
pleted plans to train gigantic army
of cooks before the cantonments open.
Within a few weeks thousands of
Young men will be modified and in
structed in the art of military culin
ary. When the cantonments open the
new cocks will be right on the job
ready to feed the recruits.
The instruction will include how TO
feed company of $50 men three times
a day on schedule time, kitchen san
itation-of utmost Importance to the
health of the men-and how to lend
touch of variety to the limited posi-
bilities of the army ration.
There will be no cause for apol-
ogies for the food officials are de-
termined. The regular army soldiers
thrive on it. 1t is pure. 1t will be |
prepared And there will be |
enough to keep every soldier we'll and |
fit, military heads say.

be swept away and democracy must
become ascendent. For over an hour
the hearers sat spellbound under the
eloquent sway of Dr. Flowers.
Some Thinks That Must Go
| The speaker further maintained
that secret diplomacy must be dis
carded along with the other trappings
of royalty. He explained that the
and Russia in the triple entente and
the treaties which hold Germany, Aus
tria and Italy in triple alliance are not
known by the millions who today hate,
fight and die on the battlefields of Eu-
rope. The doctor was impressed with
the high ideals of America which led
our nation to pay for the Philippines,
although we might have retained them
as spoils of war. He praised the ac-
tion of permitting Cuba to remain
free when we could have held her as
a reward for the conflicts victory He
rejoiced that we stood for the open
door in China, and that we returned
to the great Mongolian nation our
share of the boxer indemnity. The fin
al plea was that the functions Of gov
ernment be extended in broader hum
an service.

gram this afternoon.

LONDON-The largest number of
German airplanes that ever raided
London dropped bombs over the city
today. Twenty machines were seen.
The damages done and the casualty
lists have not been announced, but
the losses are thought to be small.
These German airships flew close to
the ground They were plainly seen
from the street This is a direct con-
trast to the raid of June 13 when 16
planes flew at such height that they
we're practically invisible.
Three of the German airplanes that
raided London today were brought
down by British machine guns, the ad-
states. The British machines
we're undamaged.
