% AMEND CONSUMPTION ACT
Nay Make Aliens Liable For Service
In United States Army. Draw.
ing Comes This Week.

Washington, July 1S.--All but seven
u the states have reported completion
If their local exemption machinery, en-.
,ouraging officials in their hope that
irawing lots to determine the order OF
liability under the selective conscrip.
ion law may be held before the end
If the week.
Although no details have been re.
lealed, it is learned that the plan of
the drawing to be held in Secretary
Bakers office virtually has been COM
pleted, and that an announcement on
the subject may be made today or to-
morrow.
Sentiment apparently is growing in
Congress in favor of amending the
conscription act "a as to make aliens
liable for service or otherwise to re.
ieve the requirements placed upon
communities with large foreign popu-
lation.
The states from which reports of
complete exemption arrangements
were received during the day are Utah
Alabama, Ohio and Virginia. Reports
still are to come from Illinois, Ken
lucky, Michigan, Mississippi, New
York, Missouri and Pennsylvania.
AS far as can be told now, every
registrant will have to be informed not
only of the serial number placed on
his card by the local exemption board,
but also of the exact number of regis
trants in his district. Otherwise he will
be unable to know until he is ordered
before the board what his number of
liability is. If there are $500 registered
men, every serial number above that
will represent a blank in that district
when it is drawn, and the rotation
numbers of the drawing will pass them
over. Thus, if No. 1923 should be
drawn first, No. 1869 second and No
1,247 third, the order OF liability in a
800 district would be No. 1,428 first
and No. 1,247 second.
