District of Columbia, acting for and
by the direction of the president and
in accordance with said act of congress
and rules and regulations prescribed
pursuant thereto, shall apportion the
quota SO apportioned to such state, ter
ritOry or district and shall communf-
cate to each local board established
in such state, territory or district no
tice of the net quota to be furnished
by such board, and such net quotas
shall thereupon be furnished by the re-
spective local boards as required by
said act of congress and rules and reg
ulations prescribed pursuant thereto
In computing the number of men to
be required from the various states
the government put to the credit of
each state every man it now has in
the National Guard and every man it
has contributed since April / as
war volunteer to the regular army.
Computation Method.
Placing on the debit side of the led
ger the national army of SOC, 600, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number of war volunteers
needed on April 1 last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength, the
grand total was apportioned according
to population.
This gave gross quota for each
state, from which net quota was COM
puted by checking off the number of
National Guardsmen available for fed
eral service and the number of men
given by the state to the regular army
since April 1.
The apportionment was made on the
basis of an estimated grand total for
the United States and its possessions
of 1O5 1866, O56 inhabitants.
This is paper estimate, computed
from registration returns, which comes
within the law requiring distribution
of quotas by population, but which
equalizes in a great measure the bur-
den that is to fall upon the 1859 ex
emption districts.
Total Of 1,152,e85.
Each will furnish under this appor
tionment the men its total registration
would indicate as a fair proportion,
rather than the number the actual pop
ulation of the district would indicate.
The total of these gross quotas is L.
152 9S5 men.
Credit is given to the various states
for a total of 465, 1855 voluntary enlist
ments in the National Guard and reg
ulars, making the total net quota for
all states 6S7. 600 men.
Illinois, which was the first big state
to fill its quota for the regular army,
reduced its gross quota of 1904 to
51,653.

Kansas City, July 19.-Federa1 Off

conspiracy, supported and fostered by
agents of the kaiser, to spread terror
among the inhabitants by incubation
with deadly disease germs through
the medium of courtplaster.
Three persons are now under arrest

REORGANIzE The
ATLANTIC FLEET
Plans of the Administration In
v0lve Appointment of An
other Vice Admiral.
DETAILS ARE KEPT SECRET
Steps Are Under Way, However, to
Place Every Battieship of Navy
in Full Commission

Washington, July 19.-Reorganiza-
ton of the Atlantic fleet has been or
dered by Secretary Daniels to meet
new problems resulting from .expan-
sion of the force to almost twice its
normal size for war service
Details of the steps taken are with
held for military reasons, but the Sec
rotary announced today that res orga-
nization plan involved the addition of
another vice-admiral to the fleet and
that Rear Admiral Albert w. Grant,
now commanding the submarine force,
had been named for the place.
Mayo to Retain Command.
Admiral Mayo, the secretary said,
will remain in general command with
the immediate authority under him di-
vided between Vice-Admiral Coffman
at present second in command, and
Vice-Admiral Grant. The former is
to have direct command of division
containing most of the superdread-
naughts and designated as force No.
g. while Vice-Admiral Grant will com
mand the remainder of the fleet IN
der the designation of force No. l.
1t is understood the reorganization
will not affect the division of the fleet
now in European waters under Vice
Admiral Sims. At the Navy Depart
ment it was indicated today that pos
sible operations overseas are not con.
templated by the changes, and that
there is little probability that either
Admiral Coffman or Vice-Admiral
Grant will be sent abroad in the near
future.
Three Vice-Adn1iraIs to Atlantic.
leaves no vacancies in that rank, and
if additional. vice-admirals are needed
a further authorization will have to
be sought of Congress.
Authority for the appointment of
three was granted with the under
standing that one would be appointed
for the Atlantic fleet, another with the
Asiatic fleet and the third with the
Pacific fleet, but so much more i'm
portance has been forced upon the
Atlantic forces in the Atlantic that it
was decided to station all three there.
Vice-Admiral Grant will be succeeded
as commander of the submarine
forces by Capt. S. S. Robson, now
commanding the battleship South
Carolina.

He Was Cured.

Once there was little boy who stole
sugar So strong was his craving for
sugar that half his mothers time was
taken up watching the sugar bowl
One morning, however, she filled a big
.umbler full of sugar and gave 1t to
the little boy and told him to eat it all
The boy took a spoon and started in
He ate about a third of it before he
got enough. His mother insisted that
he eat some more-it was all his to
eat, and she'd box his ears if he didn't
eat 1t. She did box his ears, and he
ate little more, but presently he
slipped the tumbler under his chair
and slipped out to play. When he
came back, though, the tumbIer was
there waiting for him. He ate a little,
but 1t wasn't good. He said it twas
too sweet" Every day for month
that tumbler was by his plate at the
table, on chair by his bedside, in the
closet with his playthings-every-
where he found that tumbler- The
flies swarmed about it, and the ants
came, but still it was too sweet
That tumbler never was finished up
The boy is an old man now. and takes
his coffee straight Gooseberry pie Is
the only kind he likes. All other Kinds
are "too sweet. '-Kansas City Star

~Dressmakine Not an Art"

That dressmaking is not an art, but
labor, was held by jury in the United
States district court recently, in the
case of Albert de Vroye, husband of
Marie de Vroye, fashionable dress
maker, says the ST. Louis Star. He
was fined 81 900 for violation of fed
eral statute forbidding the importation
of contract labor into the United
States.
The statute leaves several excep-
tons, including actors and artists.
Shepard Barclay, attorney for De
Vroye, contended q skilled dressmaker
is an artist.
The prosecuting witness was a Bel
gian woman. She testified that in 1917
she answered an advertisement insert
ed by De Vroye in Brussels news
paper for a premier dressmaker, cap
able of designing and executing dress
patterns. She testified she was hired
by De Vroye in Brussels at 375 francs
(about S72) month and brought to
the United States.
