HEFORMAL DRAFT
ORDER IS ISSUED
Only Distribution by Governors
of State Quotas Remains
TO be Made.
NATIONAL GUARD ACCREDITED
Each State Given Credit for Every
Man Contributed to Army
Since April /.

Washington, July IA formal or
der by President Wilson, drafting $751;
900 men into the military service IN
der the selective CONSUMPTION law,
was promulgated today by the war de-
partment, together with an official al
lotment showing what part of the to-
tai must be furnished by each state
and territory.
The only steps now remaining are
distribution by the governors of state
quotas among the local exemption dis
tricts, and the great lottery, which
probably will be held next week, and
which will establish the order in
which registrants are to present them
selves for service or exemption.
The men summoned for service will
be used to fill the regular army and
national guard to war strength and to
organize the first 100000 of the new
national army. The total of these
three forces will be 1,262,985 men.
Later another 100000 will be called
out, supplemented by sufficient men
to make up losses and maintain re-
serve battalions.
The Apportionment.
The appOrtOnment was made on the
basis of an estimated grand total for
the United States and it's possessions
of los, 366,056 inhabitants. This is a
paper estimate computed from regis
tration returns, which comes within
the law requiring distribution Of
quotas by population, Dut which equal
ICES in. a great measure the burden
that is to fall upon The 1889 exemp-
ton districts. Each will furnish IN

tai registration would indicate as a
fair proportion rather than the num-

trict would indicate. The total of
these gross quotas is LISP, 985 men.

SCORES THE FOOD BILL DELAY
Both President Wilson and Commits
sioner Hoover Aroused by DiIa-
tory Tactics in Congress.

Washington, July ia Senate
agreement 10 vote on President Will
sons Food Control bill July 21-five
weeks after its submission to Congress
as an urgent war measure-was fol-
lowed today by issuance from the
White House of a detailed report by
Herbert Hoover declaring that both
the farmers and the public are threat
ened with serious losses unless food
control authority is given quickly to
the federal government.
Democratic senators obtained the
agreement for vote only after they
had consented to strip the bill of some
OF its more drastic features, including
the stringent prohibition provisions
So far-reaching was the revision de-
manded, in fact, that aIl-day confer
ences of the Democratic steering COM
mittee and the agriculture committee
resulted in presentation of a substi-
tute for the entire measure
There was no expression of opinion
from the White House regarding the
provisions of the substitute bill, but it
is expected to be agreeable to the
President in the main. 1t follows gen.
orally the lines of the administration
bill as originally introduced with pow
er to control other industries besides
food and fuel eliminated. 1t would
prohibit manufacture of distilled
liquors without provisions of govern
ment purchase of existing stock and
would place in the Presidents hands
the power and responsibility to decide
whether prohibition shall be extended
to beer and wine.
Neither was any comment on Mr..
House, but the fact of its publication
at this time was regarded as another
evidence of President Wilson's disap-
pointment over the failure of Con-
gress to act. He repeatedly has sought
to impress upon leaders the import
ance Of quick enactment of the legis-
lation and as particularly anxious that
1. He has made it clear that he re-
CARDS it as one Of the first tasks in
the war against Germany
Unless strong and efficient govern
ment action is Immediately taken Mr..
Hoover reports, the farmers will face
a slump in wheat prices and con-
sumers will be caught in a situation
even more serious than that which al
ready is resulting in actual under
nourishment" in the great consuming
centers. The Spectator, it is de-
clared, is taking a large part of the
prices now paid by consumers.

Officials in some states pronounced
the movement one to reduce produc-
