DRAFT LOTTERY
FOR WAR ARMY
NEARLY READY
Sentiment in Congress to
Make Aliens Liable
!. For Service.
DRAWING RESULTS
MADE KNOWN SOON
Provost General Will Give
Them Out as Rapidly as
They are Made.

Washington, July 1S.-A few tsolat-
ed precincts in seven states We're to-
day delaying the war army draft lot
terry, but returns were coming in fast
enough to warrant the belief that the
drawing will be held before the end
Of the week.
Sentiment is growing in congress in
favor Of adopting some means for
making aliens liable for service in or
der to relieve the burden of communi-
ties with large foreign populations
immune from conscription, but many
officials believe that the drafting Of
aliens would be in violation Of the
principles of international law.
Provost General Crowder today be-
gan final preparation for the national
lottery which will determine the order
in which 100000 registered men
will come forward for military serv-
ice.
The plan for the drawing has been
worked out in detail and approved by
Secretary Baker. 1t will be carefully
explained to press representatives be-
fore it is given out for publication.
The machinery for the lottery has
been arranged and the only points un-
decided are the exact place in Wash
ington where the drawing will take
place and the date.
1t was suggested today that COM
mittee room at the capitol be used.
There are many questions, such as
wire facilities, which must be con-
sidered and it is probable that Cen
eral Crowder and the Washington
correspondents will work out an
agreement on this point.
The government will be ready for
the drawing as soon as the last state
has reported by telegraph that the
work has been completed. If the last
telegram comes in the morning, the
drawing can be held the same day. If
it comes at night, it is probable the
drawing will take place the following
day.

Yankee Tars Thought
German Sub Firing
Was Part of a Fourth
of July Celebration

An Atlantic Port, July 1S.-The
bombardment Of St.. Michael, the
Azores, on July 4, by German sub
marine was at first thought to be a
Fourth of July celebration by Ameri-
can naval ships in port, said the cap
tain of a British steamship from Lis
bon and st. Michaels which arrived
here today. The firing began early
in the morning, he said, but as the
shells commenced to explode over the
city the illusion that it was part of an
Independence day program was
quickly dispelled.
An American collier in port re-
turned the submarine fire with such
precision and volume that the under
sea craft soon submerged. The Brit
ish steamship captain. who was an
eye witness of the fight, said the U
boat was 800 feet long and carried
two guns. apparently being one of the
largest German undersea craft. One
girl and man were killed in ST.
Michaels by German shells.

Bozeman, Mont, July 1S.-Crop re-
ports received here by the Montana
state college from thirtyone coun-
ties out of the fortyfour in Montana,
as prepared by the agricultural
agents, indicate that crop prospects
for the dry farmer are poor. The
agents practically as a whole state
that spring crops are heading in
many instances too short to be cut
by the binder and a large percentage
are SO badly burned that they will
not be worth harvesting. They re-
port native pastures as getting dry
and the prospects for a hay crop on
non-irrigated farms are slight and If
the coming winter Is a severe one, it
will mean hard times for livestock
for lack of forage. Prompt rains, it
is believed. would save some Of the
crops. Irrigated crops are reported
as doing well. Flax and wheat have
suffered the most for lack Of rain.

P0RP0ISE FISHERY is OLD
One Of Least Known Industries Has
Been in Existence at Cape Hat
teras for 200 Years.

One of the oldest and least-known
Industries In America is the porpoise
fishery which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras in North Carolina for
about 200 years. II should attain an
unusual prosperity In the next few
years, for the bureau of fisheries Is
urging more general use of porpoise
hides In place of cowhides. 1t Is an
excellent leather, and could undoubt-
etly be used more widely. -assl
Heretofore the most valuable prod
uct of the fishery has been the oil
which is extracted from the Jaws of
the porpoise, and Is worth about 800
a gallon. 1t is universally used for
lcate mechanIsms. The body blubber
Is also valuable. Attempts to manu.
facture fertilizer out of the carcass
have failed because of the distance
from fuel supply.
The porpoise are taken ut Hatterns
In seines, operated from the shore, and
1t Is probably the only place In Amer
lea where this has ever been done
successfully. During the full, winter
and spring many porpOlses are seen
Off the South Atlantic coast and at
Hatteras they come within few hun
dred yards OF the surf They are
taken by spreading seines about 200
yards outside the surf lines. AS soon
as the porpoises have come inside the
seines, they are dragged ashore. Often
whole school of these sea creatures
is taken in single haul.

Women Drive War Automobiles.

will be driving military motor cars be-
hind the French front.
Women have tried since the begin
ming of the war to enlist In the auto
mobile service. The Club Femlnin
Automobile was the center of this
group, and 1t had secured the sigma
lures Of several hundred of the thou
sand women in Paris who hold licenses
to drive motor cars. The passive re-
sistance of the different war bureaus
held them pack until now.
The women are obliged to enlist for
three months and to agree to submit
scrupulously to military rules and dis
clpline. They will in the beginning
replace motor ambulance drivers In the
foreign sanitary sections who are
transferred to other services. Later
on they may replace men In other au-

IN FIGHT FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

at referendum In the general election
two years ago, and answered In the
negative on election day, with the adj
verse majority mounting nearly to
100000. In Maine woman suffrage has
Its first test before the voters.
The voting in Maine is on bill
enacted by the legislature, subject to
ratification at the polls, providing that
women shall have the right to vote for

ONE OF ARMY's MOST VALUED OFFICERS

Brig. Gen. Clarence r. Edwards,
commander of Northeastern depart
ment, was born in Ohio January L,
1859, and appointed to the Military
academy from that state in 1879. In
1888 he was appointed second leu
tenant in the Twenty-third infantry
and continued in that arm of the
service until appointed chief of the
bureau of insular affairs In 1906 Dur
Ing the Spanish-American war he was
given increased rank in the volunteers.
General Edwards is one of the
livest and most energetic officers in
the United States army, and his rise
has been most rapid. He first came
into the limelight during the Philip
pine insurrections following the war
with Spain, where he served as ad-
1utant on the staff of Major General
Lawton.
In 1906 he organized the bureau
of insular affairs and was made its

Little chicks as we'll as big, should
at all times have access to plenty Of
good fresh water, says one writer.
Where it is placed before them in a
pan the old hen is apt to step on 1t
and spill all the water. Then, too,
the chicks will soon either drink It
out or the sun will make 1t dry.
The plan that 1 have found salts
factory is not original with me, but !
have used it a good many years with
success. 1t consists in attaching two
strips Of tin or wire to the coop in
such a way as to support a quart bot
tie upside down with the mouth Of
the bottle resting inside the pan and
about a half-inch from the bottom.
Supported in this way the bottle is
easily removed for filling. When filed
and placed in position the water will
feed down only as fast as the water
in the pan is taken out. This makes
sort Of fountain, and in the summer
time the water will be kept fairly cool

GUINEAs ARE FINE FORAGERS
Fowls Devour All Kinds Of Insects
Especially Those In Vegetable
GardeF-Good SentineIs.

Guneas are easily domesicated
and forage for themselves.
They devour all varieties Of insects
especially in the vegetable garden.
The good they accomplish easily bal
ances what little damage they do to
the crops.
The best market for guineas is in
the fall. Hotels and restaurants pur-
chase the birds. Guineas are dressed
with the feathers on the body.
Feed grain sparlngly. Give them
fresh water, sunshine and freedom.
Keep the coop where they rest for the
night clean and free from vermin and
lice and watch them grow rapidly into
dollars. The Bantam mother will rear
them. Guineas act as sentinels and
guardians for the poultry. They give
due and timely notice of all approach
ing danger.
