Charcoal Made in Dominica.

Charcoal is much used In Dominica,
probably because there is plenty OF
cheap labor to burn it. Most of it is
made far up the rivers and brought
down then In heavy native dugOut ca
noes. The charcoal is first packed In
little bark baskets about the size Of a
strawberry basket. Several hundred
of these are then loaded upon the boat
and tied down with some sort Of fiber;
a man takes his place In the stern and
the craft starts on long journey at
the rate Of perhaps mile an hour.
To an American 1t looks as though it
must have taken week to pile up the
load, while a breath of wind might
knock 1t all In the water. but the car
goes always seem to arrive safely In
port

HIGH BRITISH CHIEF RESIGNS
Secretary for India Blamed for Dsas-
ter in Mesopotama.

London, July 13.-J Austen Cham
berlain, secretary for India, has re-
signed. Lord Hardinge the former
viceroy of India, also presented his
resignation as undersecretary for for
eign affairs. His resignation, however,
was not accepted.
Mr.. Chamberlain was one of the
group of civil and military officials on
which fell the most scathing criticism
from an official British source of mill
tary operations which has been made
since the war began, contained in the
report of the commission which fnves-
tigated the ill-fated Mesopotamia ex-
peditiOn.
The report found that the expedi-
tion was undertaken with insufficient
forces and inadequate preparation, and
that the failure of the first campaign
with the loss of the British force at
Kut-El-Amara was due to miscalcula-
tions and lack of foresight which re-
flected discredit on all concerned.

U. S, TO DRAW
TEN MILLION FOR

Every Man Registered Will Know
Order in Which He Is Liable
to Be Called.
MAY EXEMPT so PER CENT
More Than Million Will Appear Before
Boards Before 6S7, 900 Wanted on
First Call Are Decentralization
Plan Makes Fair Draft Sure.

Washington, July 13.-Secretary Ba-
ker announced that in the drawing to
select men for draft into the war army
numbers Will be drawn representing
every one of the nearly 100000 reg
1stered, so that each man may know
the order in which he is liable to be
called for service.
May Exempt Fifty Per Cent.
Liability will be fixed by the order in
which the names come out. There are
some 5000 districts with numbered
registration cards, so the first number
drawn will represent the first 5000
men to appear before the exemption
boards.
1t is estimated that 30 per cent Of
the men examined will be exempted Or
fail to pass the physical examination,
so that more than a million men prob
ably will appear before the boards be-
fore the 6S7, 900 or more wanted on the
first call are obtained
Why Details Were Withheld
Persistent inquiries from all parts Of
the country for information about the
method to be followed in selecting men
for the national war army caused war
department officials to explain that
President Wilson's determination to
have absolute fairness govern the proc
ess was responsible for the decision,
ID wits-,eld announcement OF the exact
plan until the very eve of the drawing.
The exemption regulations and all
other moves In the making of the new
army have received the approval of the
president personally, and the draft reg
ulatiOns also will come from the White
House.
All that is known now is that the
drawing will be from serial numbers
corresponding to numbers on registra-
ton cards and that it will take place
In Washington, probably at the capitol
Baker to Draw First Number.
Secretary Baker or some other high
official will draw the first number and
then the process Of selection will be
pushed forward until there is flashed
by telegraph to every community in the
country the numbers Of the men drawn
1t is understood that the system
planned is so simple that the work will
be done in a few hours.
Unofficial estimates Of the quotas
for the six central western states are
as follows, all based on the new CEN
sus estimate, which gave Illinois a
high rating:

AS soon as the local organizations
are complete appointment Of the dis
trict exemption boards will be an
nOunced.
These boards, one or more in each
federal judicial district, will pass upon
appeals from the local bodies and will
have jurisdiction over claims for ex-
emptions on account of employment in
Industrial and agricultural Or other
necessary enterprises.
Nominations for the boards proposed
from 45 states already have been sent
to the president by the provost mar
shal generals office.
Some fear was felt at the war de-
partment that the delays in organiza-
ton might cause further postponement
Of the draft.

Every Scrap of Value.

Every scrap Of waste fabric, rope or
paper Is of value. Clean white cot
ton rags are the most valuable, but ev-
cry species of rag, no matter how old
or soiled, can be utilized. Even our
old black stockings return to us in the
form Of roofing paper and are highly
valued by the manufacturers Of this
material. And there is going to be a
tremendous demand for roofing paper
after the war, because of the whole
sale destruction of buildings for which
1t has been responsible. WoOlen rags
that are not good enough for remanu-
facture are used for the same purpose.

Reichstag Committee Refuses to Vote
War Credit Unless Government De-
clares Its Policy Regarding
War Aims.

Rotterdam, July 18.-The parties in
the reichstag favoring reform are now
In the majority. There are at least
225 deputies Of the center, National
Liberals, Progressives, and the Social
list, who have announced their support
to the reforms demanded by Erzber-
ger, Centrist leader.
Copenhagen, July 13.-Emperor VIII
liam of Germany has issued an i'm
perial manifesto declaring for equal
franchise In Prussia. The manifesto,
1t Is affirmed, will operate to prevent
the ministry and the hitherto dominant
parties In Berlin from jockeying with
the new suffrage bill, defeating or linn
lting the reform In practice while
granting it In principle. The emper-
or's manifesto reached the Berlin
newspapers too late for extended COM
ment. The Tageblatt and Vorwaerts
welcome 1t as modest beginning, al
though it misses the real and needed
reform, namely, parliamentarism In the
empire.
German Ministry May Resign.
Amsterdam, July 13.-A rumor has
reached Holland that the entire Ger
man government will resign with I'M
perian Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg, the main committee Of the reichs-
tag having refused to vote war credit
unless the government declares Its
policy regarding peace and reform,

The Vossische Zeitung and LOkal
Anzeiger, both Of Berlin, agree that
the chancellor resigned, owing to q
letter from the center or clerical party
declaring that the conclusion Of
peace would be rendered more difficult
If he retained his office.
HoliweQ Forced Out.
Berne, July 13.-Report that Ger
man Chancellor Won Bethmann-HOll-
veg had resigned was reiterated In a
wireless message from Berlin, received
here. The dispatch gave the added
Information that Hollweg's resignation
was generally believed to have result
ed from the crown princes interven-
ton.
An official communication issued In
Berlin says Emperor William ex-
pressed the opinion that the political
and constitutional reforms demanded
by the reichstag are such that they
concern not merely himself, but his
successor, inasmuch as they would
be permanent. For this reason the
emperor summoned the crown prince
to attend one or more crown councils
at which final decisions regarding the
extent to which the crown and the
government will make concessions to
the reichstag will be reached.

Of the broader development of
