WHAT SELECTIvE
 ARMY DRAFT BILL
 MEANS TO NATION
r.t;mated it Will Give an Army hI of Approximately 100000 Well Trained Officers and Men by Next Spring.

wosb;noton. D. C., April 29.-Here :. what the new selective draft army low improved by Congress, means to the nation;
 Every male citizen of the United Gates regardless of his physical con- d;t;on ar occupation, whether married or single. if he is within the age lim- ifs set by the law, must register on +ho government roll. The president will call upon them to do this by pub lie proclamation immediately and will at the same time announce the regis tration officials, who probably will be postmasters, revenue officers and other federal officials throughout the country. Severe penalties are pro- yided for noncompliance.
 The minimum age limit is 2l years. The maximum is not yet finally de- termined. It will be somewhere be- tween 27 and 40 years, to be deter mined by conferees of the House and Senate. The number from each state will be apportioned according to po- pulation. Out of those who register the government will at once select 5O0,OO0, and President Wilson is au- tborized to select 500,000 more when- ever he desires to do so.
 These men, after registration, will be exempted:
 Legislative, executive and judicial officers of the United States and the several states, persons belonging to religious organizations whose creeds are against war and preachers of any religious denomination.
 Furthermore, the president may in his discretion exempt or draft for partial service, customs house clerks, persons handling mails, workmen em- ployed in arsenals, navy yards and armories, persons engaged in indus tries necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment, pilots and mariners of vessels, persons having dependent families and all persons who are morally or physically defc- lent.
 The new law also authorizes the president to raise by the volunteer system, and for the war only, enough men to raise the regular army to @fOOO men and the national guard to 625000 men.
 The law, it is estimated, will give an army of approximately 2,OOO,OOO well trained officers and enlisted men oy next spring.

WOULD SUSPEND
 COMMERCE ON SEAS
Former Bishop of Arkansas Would Have President Wilson Adopt This Plan to End the European War.

Little Rock, April 3O.-In a per sonal letter from Bishop w. M. Brown of Gallon, O., formerly Bishop of Arkansas, located at Little Rock, he says:
 "If 1 were in President Wilson's position and saw things as I now see them, would use my influence and authority in securing adequate pro- | tection against invasion; but, rather than run the risk of losing and maim- ing many of our young men and of bringing wholesale sorrow to our peo- pie, especially to the mothers and the poor, which will be the inevitable con- sequences of sending our army and navy abroad, 1 would do what I could to suspend commerce over the closed seas until they are opened by the ter imitation of the war or by concessions to us on the part of the belligerent nations which are interfering with it, England as we'll as Germany.
 Ut is not necessary to the honor of the people of the United States that they should involve themselves in foreign warfare with Germany, but their happiness and welfare do require that they should not bring upon them selves the sorrow and suffering that would be connected with it.
 "Belligerents contend that our safe ty requires war with Germany be- cause we have engendered it's enmity If therefore we do not secure the good will of England the Germans will lombard our coast towns as soon as their comparatively powerful navy is free. No doubt this is a possibility, perhaps even a possibility. Neverthe- less, it is, as pacifsts insist, but a future contingency against the mater ialization of which We can in the mean time provide by conciliatory and pre- paratory measures.
 Let this, then, be our motto; Every sacrifice of life and treasure necessary to defense; but none of either for aggression. All for pre- vention, nothing for retaliation"
 Believing that a movement might be started that would induce the gov ernment to adopt this course, Bishop Brown has asked his fellow -townsmen of Gallon, O., to secure at least one hundred signatures to the following memorial to be forwarded to each House of Congress:
 Resolved, That the President and Congress of the United States of America, be and hereby are most respectfully but urgently requested by the undersigned loyal and patriotic Americans to make any provision for such increase in the size and efficien- cy of the navy and army which in their judgment may be necessary to the protection of our beloved coun- try from hostile invasion by the Ger mans; providing, however, that no volunteers or conscripts to either of these departments of the military service be sent abroad for warfare against them"

ADJUSTMENTS
LYRIC.

The San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany, that splendid organization OF ar
lists made famous few seasons back
by Nordica, Campanari, Nielsen and
others, is comping to the Lyric Theater
next week for a series of nine different
productions. In the galaxy OF song
birds are some twenty OF the foremost
opera stars OF the present day; singers,
both of European and American tri-
umphs, who have won high distinction
wherever they have appeared. The week
OF song at the Lyric promises much for
those who love grandeur and beauty in
musical art, the repertoire being of a
widely divergent and attractive charac-
ter, and so arranged that the entire list
OF twenty principals will appear at least
twice during the engagement. The list
OF operas to be performed is as follows :
Sunday night, "Aida;" Monday, Lucia
Di Lammermoor;" Tuesday, the famous
double bill, "Cavalleria Rusticana" and
"Pagliacci'' with two separate casts OF
principally Wednesday matinee, Tales
of Hoffman," Wednesday evening, la
Gioconda;" Thursday, "Rigoletto;" Fri
day, "Lohengrin;" Saturday matinee,
MARTHA" Saturday evening, al Trova-
tore"
The splendid singing chorus OF the
San Carlo Company, the nucleus of
which was brought direct from the cele-
brated Italian chorus schools, and the
complete grand opera orchestra, are
noteworthy features OF the organiza-
ton, while sumptuous scenic and cos
tuning effects will feature all of the
productions.
The grand opera week will serve both
as an artistic and financial treat, owing
to the fact that prices have been ar
ranged between the Lyric Theater man
agement and the San Carlo Company
which will appeal strongly to all music
lovers, theatergoers generally, and
opera devotees in particular. The
operas will be staged upon lines OF ira
ditional excellence and beauty, with
gorgeous costuming, unique lighting ef-
fects and the identical massive and spec
tacuar scenic pieces as used by the San
Carlo Company at Boston, Montreal,
St. Louis and other opera-loving COM
munities that make up the itinerary OF
the organization. The regular seat sale
opens Thursday, February 1. Details
regarding the principal artists OF the
San Carlo Company, the casts selected
for each production, and other items O.
interest pertaining to the opera week
will be found in the daily papers.

EMPRESS.

A veritabe feast of praiseworthy
vaudeville will be found in next week 5
program at the Empress Theater. 1t
is a decided step in advance of present
day amusement, and in the eXtraordi
nary show it will be found that the en-
tire seven acts will be worthy OF I'M
stinted approval. In other words. it
will be marvellous vaudeville that Man
ager George F. Fish will again provide,
The principal act is one that will
create more than the average enthusi-
asm; indeed, it is counted on to cause
furore, because OF its originality and
sterling excellence. 1t is Robbins
Wonder Elephants, who do everything
but talk They are wonderfully trained
mammoth animals, and in addition they
are laugh-maliers OF superb quality,
their bulk and ponderous proportions
aiding them in the funny pranks that
they delight in. Frank A. Robbins,
famous among circus wonders, presents
this truly sensational arenic feature,
and it is radical departure from any
thing ever seen in theater. This out
put OF the tanbark ring is revelation
in unbeatable entertainment.
Another act of headline proportions
on this bill of enjoyable features is that
OF Pearl Brothers and Burns, trio OF
funny fellows, who are celebrated as
comedians OF the richest merit. These
three, with their screamngly funny dia-
lect, which gets more twisted as they
proceed on their merry way, could make
Sphinx double up with laughter, and
next weeks audiences will be in for a
hlarity treat that will surely chase al
gloom away. Still another notable at
traction will be the Three Regals, who
have scored success after success with
shows of the highest class. Their ACT

AGITATION BRINGS RESULTS.

Chicago. Ill.-The Commercial Tele-
graphers' Journal moralizes thusly on
the 6 per cent wage increase to tele
graphers employed by the Postal Tele
graph Company:
"It is the old story, showing the re-
wards of agitation. So long as the en-
ployes of the Postal were meek and
mild, the management OF the company
felt confident that everybody was per-
fectly satisfied and contentment reigned
However, when the sleeping giant of
collective effort showed signs OF being
disturbed. slight concession was granted
to pacify him Whether it will be suffi-
cient depends upon the Postal tele-
graphers themselves. However, they
'havc learned that agitation pays. Some
day they will learn that agitation pays
best when it is backed up by thorough
organization. When this happens in
the Western Union and Postal, the telc-
graphers of the United States will get
a little nearer to what they are justly
entitled to receive"

NEW LABOR CONDITIONS
To BE Faced BY European Countries
After the War.

New York-All the countries at war
must face new labor conditions in the
future, the American Industrial Com
mission to France declared in another
installment of its report on the indus
trial situation of that country.
Millions of the best young men have
been killed." said the commission, "and
while the increased use OF women la
Dor is of great value, it cannot fully
supply the need. Labor-saving devices
and improved machinery will be re-
quired as never before, and designs
which have been developed under the
high labor costs and great production
of this country will probably receive
favorable consideration"
Concerning the need of industrial
machinery in France and the oppor-
tunities of supplying it from America
the commission said the French textile
industry has suffered from the war,
perhaps, a larger degree than any
other. The larger part of it, excepting
silk manufacture, was in the war area,
and large number of mills and much
machinery must be replaced.
With regard to the use of the metric
system the commission stated that an
international standard of weights and
measures probably would have more
influence than any other technical fac
tor in promoting friendly international
trade relations.
