WASHINGTON WILL
DRAW CONSCRIPTS
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO DO
DRAFTING. WILL WIRE RE-
Suits TO HOME DISTRICTS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Regula-
tions for drafting the new national
army. now awaiting President Will
sons approval, contain provision for
every step in the great undertaking,
except the actual method of the draft
itself.
No official announcement has been
made. and official confirmation is be-
ing withheld, but it has been stated,
and generally accepted here as true,
that the federal government itself
will do the drafting probably at
Washington, so there will be no OPP
portunity for local favoritisms, poll
tical or otherwise.
AS the regulations stand now
every registered man bears a number.
The numbers will be forwarded to
Washington and the drawing will be
entirely by number. The identity of
the numbered men will be entirely
unknown to those in charge of the
draft machinery, and can be estab-
lished only by comparing a number
with a printed list in the mems home
district.
AS the numbers are drawn they will
be telegraphed to the home districts,
where the registered men will learn
if they have been drafted.
Then the question of exemptions
will come up, and this will go before
the local boards If man is exempt
ed the man bearing the number
which was drawn next in order will
take his place, and so on,
In this way all those available for
service out of the 100000 who
registered will be made ready for the
country's call, and from them the
first increment of 625,000 will be as
sembled. The others will be called
as the need develops. Plenty of time
will be given for drafted men to ar
range their personal affairs and re-
port to the cantonment camps. 1t is
hoped to have them all in training
by September l or very soon there
after.

MONEY IN HIS HAT.
City Detective Arrests n Beggar and Y Locates Some Coin.

A delapidated, weatherbeaten old fellow dropped into Pine Bluff yes tcrday. He had face brim full of sadness, and sorrow seemed to be his abiding companion, while poverty and hard luck were perched one on each shoulder. He also had his tale of woe. It was that he was on his way to Hot Springs to the bedside of his sick, perhaps dying daughter. 50 well did he tell his story that there were few wno heard him who did not go to their pockets for something more than the usual dime or quarter given at the request of the ordinary mandicant. It happened, however, that the old fellow tried his tale on City Detective Mcintyre. The detect i've is quick to catch the false note in tales of this kind. He stood the old man up against the side of a building and "went thru" him. The result was the location of over SIP in his pockets. Searching further the detective unloosed from beneath the beggar's hat brim two $20 bills, neatly folded, and evidently put away for rainy weather. There was noth- ing to do but put the old fellow in jail. There he is. and there he will be until the court orders his further disposition.

WANT BRASS BAND.
American Sailors in British Waters
 Long for Music.

Base American Flotilla in British Waters, Oct. 18.--Uncle Sam's sail ors here are asking for brass band. They want it to play the national anthem morning and evening at the raising and lowering of the colors just as they used to hear it back home. About the only time that they have heard the "Star Spangled Ban ner" since their arrival in these wat CT was when it was played on the chimes of the cathederal here. They may not even again hear it played ther, because the organist who knows how has just been conscripted into the naval branch of the British mili- tary machine.
 The American bluejacket'i is intensely patriotic. So is his newfound com radc, the British tar But the latter is reminded of his patriotism more of- ten than the American bluejacket be- cause "God Save the King" is played at the close of every theatrical per- formance or public function. The Am ,rican stands at attention and salutes on occasions like these. He says he would like to do the same thing to the "Star Spangled Banner" but he seldom gets the chance. The Banner" which is the brief way the sailor has of naming the Am erican anthem is played now and again in the United States Naval Mems clubhouse here by thc combined string orchestras from the two tenders or mother ships here.. But this IS noJ enough, and besides, the sailors ho,d that nothing but brass band can do justice to the national air and fire him with the porper enthusiasm.
 Hollands new naval budget rro- vides for the construction of slA sup marines and 2SS airplanes.
