Seattle, Wash, July 1.-THE
United States government has decided
to take out OF the Industrial Workers
of the World organization that part
of it whiih is German or dominated
by Germanic influence according to
announcement today by United
States District Attorney Clay Allen.
The men will be interned, Mr.. Allen
said.
Investigation by government agents
said the district attorney showed a
large percentage of the Industrial
Workers OF the World to be alien
Germans. Mr.. Allen continued;
Attorney General Gregory, at my
request, authorized the internment of
all German enemies who are affiliated
with or have taken part in any move
ment at present seeking to bring
about industrial or agricultural disor-
ganization.
my conception OF the rule is that
this will apply and reach any alien
enemy who establishes record of un-
reliability either in residence or en-
ployment. 1t is apparent that this is
not the time for Industrials Workers
of the World and their kind to be
shifting around from place to place.
They must seek employment and keep
it il they are to remain out OF pail or
an internment camp. The very fact
that they are unreliable is circum-
stance sufficiently Serious at this

German consular officers and by big
German mercantile firms. In some
cases these activities are supplemented
by neutral firns with German cons

He saw active service with the
Eorth West mounted police i'll the
wilds of Canada and during the Span
ish-American war was colonel of

paign that resulted in the capture Of

All Enlistments Credited,

The table from which the net
quotas were compiled shows that all
enlistments in the National Guard
and the regular army up to June so
have been allowed as credits. The
instructions to governors from the
secretary of war accompanying the
table directs governors of the various
states to allot the state quota as given
among the exemption boards dis
tricts, so that each board in each dis
trict will know exactly the number
of men to be furnished by the district
in filling the state quota.
Contrary to expectation, the gov
ernment has allowed credit for the
total strength of the National Guard,
including all those men who were in
the service prior to April ] and who
have been retained. The figures are
given as follows;
Total strength of the National
Guard on April |. 1917, l64,292. En-
listed in the National Guard between
April and June 80, 1879. En-
listed in the regular army between
April. l. and June 80. 1884. Total
credits allowed for 4o598s.
This means that according to the
estimates Of the government, the
United States now has enrolled or
under arms approximately 100000
men classed as war volunteers and
therefore constitute credits to be al
lowed to the states from which they
enlisted.
Will Draw All Numbers.
Drawing of lots for the selective
draft not only will determine what
men are to be called to the colors in
the first war army, but will show in
what order the others registered will
be liable for service when later armies
are organized. {
A plan will be followed under
which definite place in the waiting
lists will be given every one of the
millions who registered. Those stand
ing at the head of the list in each
country or city district will be called
first before the examination boards
and tiftn the obligation will pass on
down the line as long as men are
needed.
This does not mean that a separate
name or number will be drawn for
every one of the country's 100000
registrants. In fact, every number
drawn under the theory of the plan
will represent more than 1000 men,
one for each Of the registration dis
tricts. Details of the system have
not been made public, but an outline
of its principal features follows:
Features of Plan.

bered the cards in its possession in
