Not lone before His death on the

and there was a supper given in His
honor Martha served the guests, Laz-

verses tell what Mary did.
AS most all know, guests at meals
in the days of Jesus did not sit on
chairs, but reclined on cushions about
the ia BILE. In that warm. climate where
there is seldom rain the people did
not wear high, close fitting shoes and
boots, but sandels which gave easy

IN SEA BATTLE
American Gunners Knock Off
Periscope With Well
Aimed Shot

An Atlantic Port. June 90. = A
fight between an American freight
steamship and a German submarine
which took place June one day
out from Genoa. Italy, and resulted
in the navy gunners on the Ameri-
can vessel scoring at least one hit,
was reported by the captain of the
steamer on its arrival here to-day.
The captain said the U-boat sud
denly appeared at distance of about
500 yards and launched a torpedo.
Its wake was clearly discernible and
1t was possible to maneuver the yes
sci so that it missed the ship by
about twenty feet. ~
Fire was Immediately opened on
the U-boat from a stern gun and
four shots were discharged in rapid
succession as the submarine sub
merged. The second shot, the cap
tain said, struck the. periscope,
throwing it high into the air, and the
last shot fired hit the water on the
exact spot where the U-boat dis
appeared. The American vessel suf-
fered no damage.
This is the second encounter re-
ported within two days in which an
American ship successfully defended
herselt against submarine attack.

Necessity of Sending Amer

Recognized
BY .4ssocidted Press

Paris, June 23.-The ANAL algamation
of the American Clearing House, one
of the chief institutions for handling
the vast supplies contributed by
America, with the American Red Cross
has been decided upon by General
Pershing. The transfer has already
begun and the organization of the
Clearing House and all its assets VIII
be in the hands of the Red Cross by
September l. The Clearing House has
been the Intermediary between 5000
societies and contributing individuals
in the United states and has handled
$4,000 ,00Ofrancs worth of food and
clothing and 100000 francs in casn.
All its administration has been by
American volunteers under the presi-
dency of H. Herman Harjas and the
business management of H. o. Beatty,
who becomes director general of the
merged bodies.
Seven Divisions
The new organization with which
the Clearing House combines is the
American Red Cross for France and
Belgium, which recently arrived with
Major Grayson Murphy, a member of
the war council, as chief commander
and James H. Perkins as assistant
The work of the Red Cross has now
been divided under the following
heads
Military affairs, engineering. social
conditions, civil affairs. transporta-
tion, finance. information. with ex-
perts heading each branch.
The amalgamatlon is but one por-
ton of the constructive co-ordinative
work with which General Pershing
has been busying himself since his
arrival. AS one of his first steps, he
found it necessary to combine. CEN

ity the mum erous missions of the mill
itary character that have arrived at
one time or another.
Need u. :. Troops
This has been going on for a, full
week and the French ministry of war
has been notified that all requests
upon it for mission groups OF any
kind must and will come through
American headquarters. The result
sought is to eliminate confusion and
duplication of effort. Each mission
will work under the authority of one
head.
The longer the American military
leaders are here the more they appre-
ciate the Importance which the French
attach to Americas decision to send
troops. The soldiers are desirable not
merely for themselves but because
American participation in the war in
a military way has had a wonderfully
inspiring effect on all the other allied
troops.

NATION BEGINS
GREAT DRIVE
FOR VOLUNTEERS
President Calls For Unmar-
ried Men to Join Colors
For War Service

Washington, d. c.. June 23.-A
nationwide drive of ono week to re-
cruit 10000 men to bring the regular
army up to its authorized war
strength of 100000 men began to-
day in accordance with President
Wilson's proclamation calling for
volunteers.
This is the first step in the war
organization of Americas army.
Next is the task of completing the
fell strength of the National Guard; /;
then comes the selection of men for
the new national army from the mill
hons who registered here June 8.
Early Active Service
The President calls upon ''unnar-
ried men between the ages of 1s and
40 years who have no dependents
and who are not engaged in pursuits
vitality necessary to the prosecution
of the war" This means that those
between the ages of is and 81 and
81 and 40. as we'll as the recent
registrants, will be given an oppor-
unity for immediate training and the
prospect of early active service.
The urgency of filling the ranks of
the regular army is emphasized by
army officers. who declare it will be
necessary within the next six months
to take many of the regulars as in
structors for the new selective army.
The recruiting officers throughout
the country will have the assistance
of the press, the state defense coun-
ellis and patriotic societies.

The applause and cheering were re-

Draft Regulation For
New Selective Army
of $4,000 Men Ready
By Associated Press

Washington, June 23. = 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 1t has been stated,
and generally is accepted here as
true, that the federal government
itself will do the drafting, probabl
here in Washington. so there will be
no opportunity for local favoritisms,
political or otherwise.
AS the regulations stand now,
every registered man bears a num-
Der. The numbers will be forward
ed to Washington and the drawing
will be entirely by number. The
identity of the numbered men will
be unknown to those in charge OF
the draft machinery and can be es-
tablished only by comparing a num-
ber with printed list in the mans
home district. AS the numbers are
drawn, they will be telegraphed to
the home districts where the regis
tered men will learn they have been
drafted.
Then the question of exemptions
will come up, and this will go before
the local boards. If man is
exempted, the man bearing Nthe
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 ten million who
registered will be made ready for
the country's call, and from them
the first increment of $500 will be
assembled. The others will be called
as the need develops as the war goes
on. Plenty of time will be given for
drafted men to arrange their per-
sonal affairs and report to the can
tonment camps. 1t is hoped to have
them all In training by September /
or very soon thereafter.

New York, June 23.-While ex-

chi's confession as clearing up the
Cruger girls murder, Police Com
missioner Woods indicated that there
were important other reasons for
pushing the effort to bring the fugi-
tive back to this country, in addi-
tion to seeking punishment for the
crime.
II am particularly anxious to find
out If he had any accomplices, and
also about his dealings with the po-
lice" the commissioner said. He at
once got into communication with
Washington with Frank L. Polk,
counsellor of the State Department,
and urged that no effort be spared
to obtain Cocchi's return.
The police to-day continued exca-
waiting in the cellar of Cocchis mo-
torcycle repair shop, where the girls
body was found.
1t was reported that they had
learned that a tunnel connected this
building with the cellar of the one
adjoining.
