Master Lists Rectify All
Errors in Army Draft
Bp 4ssoefated Press

Washington, July 24.-Master lists
of the draft-the official and last
word assigning every man of the
ten million to his place in the Ma
tional Army, were going forward in
the mails to-day to the 1857 local
boards. They supecede all hitherto
published lists and rectify all errors.
The lists have been prepared with
the greatest care and safeguards
against errors. Printed by the most
expert and trusted men in the gov
ernment printing Office they have
been proof-read three times by vet
eran proofreaders.
In order that each district board
may be assured of getting a list in
the mails two copies are being mall
ed to each--one in one mail and one
in another. hTe theory of this prac-
tice is that If one list goes astray
the other surely will reach its desti-
nation.

GERMANS SEEK FAVOR

Buenos Ayres. July 24.-A German
bank is reported to have offered con-
iidenttally to the Argentine govern
ment immediate loan of 400. 900, 900
piastres. Although much German
capital is concentrated in the banks
here. the maneuver is thought to
have been made in an effort to neu-
tralize the growing sympathy in Ar
eentina for the Allies and to profit
by the financial necessities of the
government and its difficulties to OBJ
tain a loan in Europe.

American Training Camp in
France, July 23.-German aerial
squadrillas apparently have persist
emily sought to- locate the American
troops since their arrival here, but
without the slightest success to date.
Countersquadrillas have been so
watchful and energetic that the Ger
mans have been unable to approach
the encampment and have been
beaten off each time they crossed
the French line.
One of these aerial battles occur
req yesterday evening and another
this morning.
Both were at points a consider
able distance apart and far removed
from the American encampment.
They were witnessed by chance by
American officers who were touring
the country in automobiles. Some
ten planes were engaged in the first
night and a dozen in the latter.
Both the battles were conducted
thousands of feet above the ground.
The sky was cloudless and the fight
ing was plainly discernible. The
German airmen were forced to turn
and make for home without having
spotted the American camps.
Airplanes daily pass over the
headquarters, generally within a few
hundred feet, but some times Sc

variably leads to rumors that the
Germans have flown over the camp

Two of the jurors accepted this

be hard to lay aside but swore to the

a fair verdict upon the testimony. This

M. Ribot, after consultations, to mo-

An explanation Of the socialist step
was given by some of their deputies.
who declared that when Premier Ribot
announced that reconstruction Of
the cabinet would take place the So
cialists were under the impression
that fundamental changes would take
place and 1t was under that under
standing that they agreed to collabor-
ate with the government. They found
however, that majority Of the ex-

That being the case they considered
that there was no guarantee = Of q
more vigorous conduct Of the war or. Of
q democratic policy and consequently
the party decided to withhold its sup
port. i
The principal changes contemplated
by NJ. Ribot were the substitution of NJ

criticized Maurice violette a. minister
OF subsistence, and the creation at =
new ministry Of national reconstruc-
Stion, to which Louis Klotz, president

was to have been nominated. When
the new ministers assembled late last
night, however, Prof Paul Painleve,
the minister Of war, announced that he
would decline to continue in office
without socialist representation in the
cabinet. This brought about the col
lapse Of the combination.
