TRY TO GET TOGETHER
ON FOOD CONTROL BILL
Federal Prohibition Question
to Be the First to Be
Disposed of.

Washington, July 26.-Conferees on
the administration food control bill to-
day undertook to reconcile differences
between the house and the senate with
vigorous fight threatened over cer-
tain features of the legislation. The
task was made the more difficult by
the action of the house In instructing
its conferees to disagree to all senate
amendments.
In their first session the conferees
we're said to be for the disposal of the
prohibition question first, in order
that the finance committee may be ad
vised of any action which may affect
revenue in connection with the war tax
bill. 1t also agreed to expedite the
conference and hold night sessions
1t was announced that nothing
would be made public until the bill is
virtually completed at least and that
all the Ii conferees were 'solemnly
pledged to secrecy.

REG|STRANTS To
KEEP TRACK Of
DRAFT STATUS
System is Devised by the Pro-
voSt Marshal Gen.

Washington, July 26.-While locf1,
selection boards were at work today
assembling men of the selective draft
forces, officials of the provost mar
shall generals office began preparing
new publication to furnish regis
tered men with an easy method of
keeping track of their status in their
districts.
The new list will be issued with
cross reference by number between tho
red ink and drawing numbers. 1t will
be possible for those supplied with
the lists to inform any man almost
instantly In what order he was drawn
when he furnishes his red ink number.
Registrants who expect to be called
in the first draft now must watch the
selection board headquarters so as to
know Immediately when their names
are posted. The date when they are
to report for physical examination will
be shown at the same time.
The question of dependents will not
come up in any way until report on
a mans physical condition shows him
to be suitable for military service.
When that has been received the Sc
| lection board will be prepared to re-
ceive affidavlts on dependents the
prospective soldier has. The forms
OF the affidavits will be shown by the
| board.
Similarly forms for applications for
exemption on industrial grounds or for
appeal from the ruling of the selec-
tion board will not be available until
the time for their use comes. The
purpose of the plan is to avoid the
piling up of work and provide that the
boards will have before them at any
time only the papers Of cases in
| process of hearing

Washington, July 26.--The war

THE WAR SUMMARY.

Such details of the Russian retreat
in eastern Galicia as are now coming

seriousness of the situation. Special
d;spatches report that the losses IN
heavy artillery will be tremendous and
express doubt as to the ability OF the
infantry of the Russian eisn.n army

still an absence of assurances that the
Rus,ian commanders Of armies taking
nart in the backward movement have
suooeeded In getting their refractory
troops In hand. ,aw
indications are not wanting now
ever. that the process is wen uhoe'
way. There comes through Petrosrao
