OF SERVICE THEY ENTER.
Assignments to Be Made by War De-
partment Though Most of Men to
Go Into Infantry.

Washington, June 22.-Men drafted
Into the new armies by selective con-
scrlptlon will to a great extent have
to take their chances as to the branch
OF service in which they want to serve.
An announcement by Provost Mar
shall General CroWder has stated that
the assignments to the different
branches would be made at the discre-
ton of the War department. Most of
the men brought into the army by Sc
lection are for the infantry. The draft
is for the army alone no cases are
men to be assigned to the navy.
Up to Absentees.
In the proclamation of exemption
regulations by President Wilson, pro-
visions are made for physical exami-
nation of men drawn for service who
are absent from the place Of registra-
ton.
The War department places the bur-
den of learning whether or not they
are drafted, wholly upon the absentees.
1t was suggested that they make ar
engagements with friends to notify
them at once if drawn by the lottery.
Another official announcement eau
lions eligible men that because they
escape the first or subsequent levies
they are not RELEASED from liability to
service.

PUBLISHERS POSTAGE
RAISED BY COMMITTEE
Five Per Cent Tax on Profits Over
$4,000 Is Also Favored by
Senate Body.

Washington, June 22.-The Senate
finance committee has taken what the
members expect to be final action on
publishers taxes in the war revenue
bill, adopting by vote of to an
increase of one-quarter of a cent a
pound on second class postage rates,
and an additional levy of per cent
on publishers net profits more than
$4,000.
Revenues of 100000 annually
from the increase in postage rates to
IN cents a pound, which most publish.
ers have vigorously opposed and about
100000 from the profits taxes are
expected. The increase in postage
rates will apply to publishers of news.
papers, magazines and all other period
icals, including religious publications.
The committee also decided to retain
the House increase of SO per cent a

strike out the double post card rate.

SUPPORTS COAL PRICE BILL
PRESIDENT IN FAVOR OF CON.
troll OF SITUATION.
Would Have Government Take Over
and Operate Mines and Also Fix
Prices If Necessary.

Washington, June %. President
Wilson has given his support to Sen
ator Pomerene's resolution to empow-
er the government to fix coal prices.
After a conference between the Pres
ident and the senator, a meeting of
the Senate Interstate Commerce COM
mittee was called for to consider the
resolution. It proposes that, for war
purposes or other emergency, the
Federal Trade commission shall be au-
thorized to fix coal prices, and, in
event Of disagreement with the oper-
ators, the government shall take over
and operate coal mines, with an ar
rangement for fixing the compensation
of the operators at a later date.
President Wilson, according to Sen.
ator Pomerene, is "in full sympathy
with the objects of his resolution, be.
lieving the coal situation acute and
prices far too high.

of the drive is brought in next sum-

Washington, June 21.-As a result
Of unchecked war profteering not only
in the sale of necessities of life to
