OF BEING SPIES
Government is Trying to

Information
Especial toaf.he Forumn /

Washington, July ALI Germans
Formerly connected either with the
German embassy or any one OF the
many consulates in America have
been requested to leave the United
states. Notification that their pres
ence in America is undesirable has
been sent to them by the state de-
partment.
The Germans, who principally are
clerks and servants, were not told
that they were suspected of being
spies. The inference that their
loyalty TO the kaiser had made IL
difficult for them to remain in this
country without attempting to send
military information to their govern
ment was made clear.
Among the first TO 20 will be
Heinrich Schaafhausen, formerly at
tached to the German embassy but
left behind by Count Won Bernstorff
and since attached TO the department
OF German interests of the Swiss
legation. In addition TO Schaaf-
hausen, there is a long train of
clerks and servants-at least they
have served in such capacity in this
country-although this government
has no means OF knowing definitely
what the exact status of most OF
them Is with the German govern
ment. There is ground for belief
that some of them are persons of
more importance TO the German in
telligence system.
DIR. George Barthelne, the author
OF the much discussed dispatch TO
The Cologne Gazette at the time
relations were severed,
still is in Washington but is requir-
ed to report TO certain government
officials in person twice a week. Al
though the bulk of the German and
Austrian embassies staff departed
with their ambassadors, two OF Ger
allies still have their rep
here.
Abdul Haak Hussein Bey, charge
of the Turkish embassy, pleaded
with the state department not TO in
sist on his departure. His wife is
an English woman and on the
ground that her health might be af-
Iected by going to Constantinople
Bey has been permitted to remain
here. The Bulgarian minister is
still at his legation. There are many
Indications that the government is
taking steps to tighten the spy net,
and make even more difficult the
getting of military information TO
Germany.
The cleaning out Of former Ger
nan officials here is but the first
Itep in a systematic attempt to rout

Cooperstown, N. D.. July 7.-On a
warrant charging assault and bat
terry, John Briesinger, 81, a farmer
living near here, has been arrested
as suspect in the case Of the at
tempt TO take the life Of Freeman
Curtis of Broadview township.
Briesinger was arrested on his
farm and after a preliminary exami-
nation was remanded to the custody
of the sheriff in default OF $500 bail

will furnish today. The arrest Of
Briesinger was made on circum-
stantial evidence, the only clue the
authorities having was a hat found
in the house and which is thought
to belong to Briesinger.
While asleep in his bed. Curtis was
fired upon by an intruder about 2:15
o'clock in the morning. Bad aim
saved his life. The shot grazed the
right eye, the bullet glancing OF
from the bone and travelling for
some distance under the skin. COM

gun was held so close to the victim
that his eyebrows were singed.
Curtis attended a bowery dance
with his housekeeper, and with whom

ARMY DRAFT
May Be BEGUN
NEXT WEEK
Selection Day Will be Held
as Soon as Cards are
Numbered
JURY WHEEL PLAN
LIKELY TO BE USED
May Also Fill Regular
Army and Guard by
Draft
(Ry Associated Press.l

Washington, July 7.-Selection day
for the new national army is ap-
preaching rapidly as the local ex-
emption boards in the various states
| complete their organization, give
serial numbers to the registration
cards and forward certified copies to
Provost Marshal General crowder
Indications are that the drawing
will be held next week, but no off,
cial statement has been made.
Administration officials still main
tain strict silence as to the method
to be followed. With the recent
statement by Secretary Baker that
the drawing would be held in Wash
ington, however, coupled with the
stress laid upon the serial number
ing of registration cards, the gem
eral outline of the plan is clearly
indicated.
It is understood that it is propos-
ed to place in a single jury wheel in
washington one complete set Of
numbers. When a number is taken
from the wheel the man in each ex-
emption district whose card bears
that serial number will be drafted.
Thus as each number is drawn ap-
proximately 10000 men will be draft
ed or one in each exemption district.
II 100000 men are to be called be-
fore the exemption boards in the first
selection, which seems highly prob
able only 40 numbers would need to
be drawn.
There are numerous complications
which must arise, however, and the
method of solving them can be
known only when the administration
makes known it's plans.
Will Draft Reserves.
2 While the first contingent Of the
new army ulacer the bin is limited
to 100000 men an additional 125,00O
or 100000 win be needed to make up
the reserve battaliens of this force.
reserve battalions are now being re-
cruited for all regular regiments
and will be recruited for the ma
tional guard when it is drafted into
the federal service. Sc
The organization Of the national
army will be on the same basis. IT
may be necessary to draft enough
men to fill up the regulars and ma
tional guard to war strength, al
though no decision to this end has
been reached as yet. The regulars
are now close to war strength and
the guard units are recruiting rapid
ly. II possible they will be compIet-
ed by the war volunteer system.
There is one other considera ton
which will affect the total number of
men to be drawn. Opinion varies as
to the number of exemptions to be
expected from various causes. A
rough estimate of at least fifty per
cent exemptions for physical or 9TH
er reasons has been generally en-
ployed in computing the probable
size Of the task before the 3exemp-
ton boards. Sc
1t is not known whether the goyA
ernment intends to call double the
number of men actually needed on
the first selection in order to pro-
vide against these exemptions. Pos
sibly only the smaller number win
be taken to be filed out by later
selections until the ranks are full

BATTLE OVER
PROHIBITION
Is RENEWED
Question as to Whether it
Will be Extended to
Consumption
SENATOR GRoNNA .
is "BONE DRY"
That Distilled Liq-
uors Shall not be
Manufactured
CBy Associated Press.)

lBy ASSOCldLeQ ETeSS.J
Washington, July THE battle
over the prohibition issue involved
in the food control bill was renewed
in the senate today. this time on the
question whether consumption as
well as the manufacture of distilled
liquor shall be prohibited during the
war. The clause forbidding manufac-
ture was adopted last night.
"Wets'' endeavored to force re-
consideration of the Cummins
amendment Tentatively adopted,
which prevents withdrawal Of hard"
liquor now held in bond, for bever-
age purposes. Opponents Of the pro-
vision claim 1t amounts to a virtual
conflscation of seven hundred twenty
million gallons without efrecting
conservation Of any grain.
Senator Chamberlain announced
that there had been considerable de-
lay in the consideration of the pro-
hibition section and that he would
have to insist upon discussion OF
amendments to that part OF the Dill
being made in their regular order.
Senator Reed explained that his
purpose in introducing an amend
ment to empower the president TO
withdraw liquor from bonded ware
houses was to meet the statement
that If the Cummins amendment
were adopted many small banks
would be wrecked.
Senator Cummins, characterizing
the Reed amendment as unneces-
sary said he could hardly imagine
the president withdrawing liquor In
order TO allow people to drink" and
denied his amendment was confis-
catory.
Senator Gronna in the food bill de-
bate argued for national bone dry
legislation.

London, July 7.-About
twenty enemy airplanes
bombarded London today,
according to an official
statement by the war Office.
Damage was done in the
heart of London by the
raid which was one of the
greatest, if not the greatest,
attempted by the Germans.
Late today it was impos-
sible to say what the loss of
life was. For about a quar-
ter of an hour, raiders drop
ped a steady rain of bombs.
The raid occurred at about,
9:30 O. clock. Thousands of
persons crowded the streets ,
many of them women and
children. The police and !
soldiers had difficulty in !
holding back the people.

The sun was shining
brightly but the sky was

to the people in the street.

(ASSoclated PreSs war summary
Gen. Brussiloff seems to
have been arranging a sur
prise on the Russian front,
Judging from reports from
Petrograd today of violent
fighting in progress in the
,Pinsk district.
Apparently Austro-Ger-
man attention has been CEN
tered on the Galician dis
trict, where Brussiloff's Of
fensive opened last Sunday
and only last evening the
German official report re-
corded the resumption of
heavy attacks by the Rus
slams. 81
There had been no men
tion in official statements
recently of special activity
anywhere along the Rus
sian line except in Galicia
and the sectors immediate
ly adjacent north and south.
The report from Pinsk,
one hundred fifty miles
north of the Galician bor-
der, Therefore, has in it tlse
elements Of surprise for the
world, if not for the Ger
mans.
On the Franco-B Belgian
front the British have made
another forward thrust,
slightly advancing their
lines east Of Wytschaette in
the Belgian district where
General Plummer blew the
Germans out of an extend,
ed salient east of the Mes
sines ridge last month.
With the French forces
there have been only artil-
lery fighting and trench
raiding.
Pinsk In Flames.
Petrograd, July 7.-Violent fight
ing has begun on the Russian front
near Pinsk. The city Of Pinsk is in
flames, according to announcement
today by the semi-otficial news
agency.
The Russian artillery, the an
nouncement says, is levelling all OBJ
stacles. The Russians have captur-
ed the fortified forest of Sianka, with
all the enemy's organized positions
and also Hill 1858. They have pene-
trated the village of Godov.
Further gains have been made py
the Russian forces in Galicia. Fight
ing from the front records the taking
of first line trenches by troops or
the 18th army who also at some
points captured second line positions.
The opening of the battle of Pinsk
marks the second Offset of the Rus
slams after the long period Of quiet
which followed the revolution. The
point selected for this attack is
about ITS miles north of the sector
in east Galicia along which the Rus
slams made their first onslaught re-
sulting in the capture of $4,000 men
in two DAYS. Pinsk is at the middle
Of the Russo Galician battle line.
There has been no heavy fighting |
in this region since the conclusion
of the great Austro- German drive
which began in the spring of 1915.
