Steps Toward Prosecution.

ut was the evidence procured by the
commission. and turned over to the At

preparatio tons for criminal prosecution
by the Department of Justice.
For the last two months. the com.
mission has been seeking speedy renee
from intolerable situation by means
of conferences between publishers an
manufa cturers but deadlock was the
only result. Determining upon decisive
measures the federal trade commission
employed Francis Heney of Cai1for-
MA to assist the commission IN secur-
ing instant action and relief. 1t Is
through conferences between MT.
Heney on the one hand and the manu-
facturers and their attorneys on the
other that the proposition has oeen
made to put the whole matter up 10 the
federal trade commission.
This was the proposition suggested
by the publishers January ~ at thl-
cago conference and refused at that
time by the manufac turers. once con-
WINGED of the commissions determine
ton, as well as impressed by It's pres
entation of the evils and perls OF the
situation, the manufacturers made the
submission in a spirit of fairness and
cooperation.

STEP IN U. S. REGULATION

News print paper manufacturers have
proposed to the federal trade commits
sion that it fix reasonable price for
the output of the principal plants of
the United States and Canada. The
commission has announced that it has
the proposal under consideration aR
will reply Immediately. 1t is generally
believed the answer will be an accept
ance. Newspaper publishers regard
this as victory.
If the proposal is accepted, calling
for the commission to determine fair

per from March /, 1917, to September l.
1917, officials say it viii mark an eX-

manufacturers, opens up wide neld OF
possibilities for the future.
The announcement of the capltula-

1t wouldn't do any of US any harm

Of better roads. Don't be narrow
enough to take one side of the question
and refuse to listen to any facts OF

opinion in regard to the federal aid
proposition. HE literally wouldn't

258 FIRST NUMBER OUT
Secretary Baker Takes Out Ini-
tial Misunderstanding Con-
tinues All Day Friday and
Throughout Night.
Long List of Numbers Given In Order
as Drawn, From Which Those Who
Will Be Called to Serve in
First Army VIII Be
Selected.

Washington, July 21.-The drawing
for the big United States army was
not completed until early Saturday
morning. The drawing began at 9:45
Friday morning, and continued
throughout the day and night. Alto
gether 10000 numbers were drawn
from the big fish bowl. 1t was officially
stated that the first 1000 numbers
drawn represented more than 1000,-
900 men, and it is not considered
probable that men representing any
number drawn after the first 1000
will be called before any exemption
board for the first army. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain of the senate military
committee. Congressman Dent of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the sem
ate and house military committees;
Maj. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss. acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general Of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above
few thousand affect registrants. Of
the 4,557 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1856, and
the average is about 5000. AS the
drawing proceeded 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 126, placing 1857 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 18th in
order of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order In which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the see
ond. or red-ink registry. number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line. Beginning

drawn by Secretary Baker,

economical. one for certain classes of
travel. This was the opinion expressed
at the recent meeting of the New York
Stat, association of County Highway
Superintendent by many of those
present.
Practically all the recent roads built
by these men have two courses of
broken stone, and frequently it is pos
sible to build the roads with n lower
course of cheap local stone, using the
more expensive stone from distance
for the upper course only. This re-
duces the first cost without causing
any reduction In the life and strength
of the road. When they are finished
they are sometimes treated at once
with tar or asphalt, but usually this
treatment is deferred long enough for
travel over the road to reveal any
weak spots, so they can be repaired be-
fore the oiling is done. 1t is this de-
yelopment of efficient and economical
methods of maintenance with the help
of road oils which has led to the
renaissance of water-b6und macadam
in New York 1t is one Of many recent
indications that where the work Of
maintenance is thoroughly done and
cost records of it are properly kept
important light is thrown on the best
types of construction to carry travel
of different classes and intensities.

GRADING and Drainage.

The first step in the making of good
roads is grading and draining. Tbs
next is dragging, and the next step, in
most localities, as long as the cost OF
good grade of asphaltic road oil re
mains below 6 cents gallon, will be
oiling. tts

BRITISH
MERCHANT SHIPS
SUNK BY SUBSEAS
Losses From German Divers
AppreciabIy Smaller, Due in
Part to Better Weather
in Recent Days.

London, May 50.-Eighteen British
merchant vessels OF more than 1000
tons were sunk during the last week,
it was officially announced tonight
One vessel of less than 1000 tons and
two fishing vessels were sunk.
The losses of British shipping from
the submarine war as reported this
week total twenty-one as compared
with total of thirty lost in the
previous week. While the losses OF
vessels exceeding 1000 tons each re-
main the same as in the last previous
report, the number of vessels of less
than 1000 tons is reduced from nine
to only one. The number Of fishing
vessels sunk is reduced from three
to two.
Summer weather and the long days
favor warfare on the submarines and
the admiralty is taking full advantage
of these conditions. 1t is the belief
OF naval men that as long as these
conditions prevail there slittle likeli-
hodd that the submarines will make
any better showing than in past
months,
