Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old, inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president of the United States.
But In order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country If they so desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
essary to fill up the regular army, the
National Guard and the conscription
force of 100000 men.
2,o01 900 Armed Men.
1t is estimated by the war depart
ment that as a result of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2,0O1, 900 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment Of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
100000 men. 100000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength of the regular
now about 135,OO0 men and Is short
about 155,0OO. The National Guard
has war strength of 625.OO0 men. 1t
has now about 125,OOO and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655,O0o
men to fill up gaps in the regular army
and National Guard and In addition
5OO, 900 as the first quota Of the con-
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft 1t is possible about
1,165, 600 men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi.
ately 100000 more for another con-
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
The action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for.
eign service has been eliminated.
his pet project is incapable of reallza-
ton is a question. 1t is generally un-
derstood that President Wilson is alb
solutely opposed to the idea of a vol
unteer organization under command Of
the colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and nom
commissioned officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than $21
per month are increased to $31 per
month; those who received $24 are
increased to $32 men who receive $50,
$50 or $40 are increased SO each; men
who receive $45 are increased to $50.
Army Officers Pleased.
Army officers received notice of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected higher maximum. though
they would rather have had the orig
inal ages Of nineteen to twenty-five.
A new section In the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine-gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machlne-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each In
fantry and cavalry division.
An interesting change Is that the
draft will not be based upon the num-
ber Of persons available for serv-
ice," as first proposed. but upon the
population.
A man may register by mall, II nec-
essary. Fraud In registration, exam
ination, etc., Is punishable by the

Dry Clause Drastic.
The prohibition provision Is exceed
ingly drastic. The president Is au-
thorized to make regulations govern
ing the prohibition Of alcoholic liquors
"in or near" military camps. Not
only can liquor not be sold or sup
piled but It will be Illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
intoxicating or splrituous liquors at
any military station, cantonment.
camp, fort, post or officers or enlisted
mems club.
1t will be unlawful for anyone to
sell Intoxicating liquor, including
beer, to any officer or member of the
military forces while in uniform.
Likewise, the social evil is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention Of the setting up Of any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
Of congress the president is author

is expected to have a great moral ef-

Der would constitute reinforcement

Could Relieve British.
England to date has raised some
100000 men. With the exception Of a
! couple Of million these men are at
the front in France, Belgium, Egypt,
the Balkans and Mesopotamia.
What the president and Secretary
Baker desire first and above all is to
train the officers and men. When they
are ready to fight the drilled troops Of
Germany. then probably they will be
sent abroad, and not before.
But Germany doubtless will watch
with increasing anxiety the prepared
ness Of the American people and will
realize that peace will be most desir-
able and necessary, before they are

WASHINGTON, June %. - The or

means of determining the Indiana
conscripted men who shall go to war.
The provost marshal general and
the experts who are advising him
have considered many lottery schemes
which are recommended for fairness,
but the one most in favor at the pres
ent time is novel arrangement to
use capsules.
Under this plan every registered
man Is to be indicated by number.
A record is to be made of the man
and his number. Not even the man
himself will know what his number is
until after the drawing. Each num-
Der will be printed on a slip of paper
and each slip will be rolled up so
that the number does not show and
inserted in a capsule. All of the cap
sules at each drawing place will then
be put In large vase and the cap
sules will be given a thorough shak-
ing up. Then the drawing will take

large scale at the outbreak Of the war

Continued from First Page)
War Fund to which Gunnison people
are asked to contribute, must be a
national undertaking in the finest and
most thorough sense of the word.
"The crisis in this war is at hand
