Warming Is Issued
 Against Incendiary
 Bombs Packed AsBeef
Army Headquarters Tells Manufacturers to Be On Lookout For Innocent Appearing Machines Which German Agents May Use to Cause
 Fires in Plants Engaged in National Work.

Charleston, June 22-Warning was is- sued from the southeastern army head quarters here today for manufacturers to be on the lookout for small incendlary bomb which is being made use of in France by that country's enemies to set fire to manufacturing plants.
 The official bulletin reads as folloks:
 We have recently received informa- talon that the Germans are sending to France agents whose mission is to cause fires in establishments engaged in nation al work For this purpose they are furnishing them with incendiary bombs of which the following is descriptions
 "The bomb is shaped in the form of a pyramid. nine centimetres in height, the larger end measuring 9ls centimetres long by centimetres wide, the small end centimetres long by 5ls centimetres wide
 "The four sides and the top are made of thin white metal, while the bottom is composed of thin sheet of cardboard

covered with light colored varnish, the whole being covered in pinted paper On one side are the words Advance speelal cooked beef, Frigorifico Argentine Gen. tral, Buenos Aires with the picture of an OK. 1he same words are on the core spending side, but without the pictui e.. On the remaining sloes are instructions for using the (supposed) contents, in English, French and Spanish, printed in white on blue ground.
 This box contains highly inflammabl powder, the chemical na ture of which has not vet been determined.
 ''To operate the bomb a special ap- raratus is necessary. which within about hal9f an hour after being set working ig- mites the powder containd in the box and sets fire to the surroundings.
 Tt is. of course, improbable that the same labels would be used in this country should the Germans attempt to use a similar machine here, but we communi- cate the above information in case they should make some such attempt.

Engineer Units of National Guard Are Called to Service to Aid in
 Construction
WORK OF RAISING BIG
 FORCE UNDER DRAFT
 WILL BEGIN AT ONCE
Exemption Processes and Rules Will Be Announced Next Week-Local Civil Officials Will Be
 in Charge

Washington, June P. There will be no serious de- lay in construction of the 16 cantonments for the na- tlonal army, Secretary Ba- ker said today, and all of the establishments probably will be ready about September 1, the tentative date considered for summoning to the colors the first 625,000 men.
 The process of selecting the men, the secretary indicated, probably will be set in motion early in July. Regulations for the exemption and se- | lection processes have been prepared and will be made public next week. Presi@. dent Wilson is understood to have ap- proved the general scheme worked out by l the war department to secure fair and | unsel1sh application of the law through local officials. Minor notifications are being made but plans will be completed in a few days.
 MACHINERY COMPLETED
 Machinery for the great task of con- structing the 16 cantonments also Is vir- tualy complete and in some cases actual physical preparations have begun. Under an order published today the engineer units of the National Guard of 15 states will be mustered into the federal service Immediately to aid in technical features of the work.
 At each cantonment, it was announced today, all construction operations will be under direction of a constructing quar- termaster. Seven of the men designated for these posts are regular army off cers and the other nine are successful civilian engineers who have been commits stoned as majors in the quartermasters' reserve corps.
 ONE QUESTION UNSETTLED
 The only question as to cantonment sites that is not finally settled, MT. Ba- ker said involves possible relocation of the cantonment now assigned to dispatch marines. Objections have been raised to the dispatch marines location on tho ground that railway facilities are not adequate.
 Building of the cantonments, the sec retary said, would proceed on the present general specifications, though some minor notifications would be made because of suggestions by the medical committee of the defense council, of which Surgeon General Gorgas is a member. After the camps are built and the troops under training, additional funds may be asked of Congress to carry out further the sug- gestions of the doctors.
 MAIN PROBLEMS
 The main problems now are those of material and transportation. A new diff

BORAH'S AMENDMENT

Among the amendments was one by Senator Borah proposing that retail and wholesale prices of bread flour and oth- CT foods be proclaimed by the President and that the prices of steel, coal, oil farm implements fertilizers. meats and clothing usually worn by wage earners be fixed by the federal trade commis- son.
 Senator King proposed a substitute bill authorizing the President to pre-empt fuel and food used by this country and the allies, and to acquisition products of coal and ore mines to fix prices of certain products, and to establish food warehouses.
 In the House Representative Towner failed by an overwhelming majority to substitute complete bill for the admin istrative measure which would have elim- mated all of the control features. Representative Lenroot waged vigor- ous fight against the licensing provision holding it was unconstitutional and it. logical, but was defeated, 123 to 66.
 IMPORTANT CHANGE
 Important amendments accepted by the House were one by Representative Len root to eliminate the ''blanket'' control power of the President over necessaries and limit it to articles mentioned in the

 NUMBER ESTIMATED
 ''The figures as to the number of sub scriptions are estimated,'' MT. McAdoo explained, because the returns from the federal reserve banks in this respect are incomplete but when finally reported they will exceed the number stated 100000
 .'One of the chief purposes of the cam paign was to distribute the liberty bonds widely throughout the country and place them as far as possible in the hands of the people. This was impor- tant because the strength of government finance. like the strength of government policies, rests upon the support of the people.
 "The widespread distribution of the bonds and the great amount of the over- subscription constitute an eloquent and conclusive reply to the enemies of the country who claimed that the heart of America was not in this war. The re- suit, of which every citizen may well be proud reflects the patriotism and the determination of the American people to fight for the vindication of outraged

'PROH|B|T|ON|STS |. PREPARE ID MAKE DRIVE IN CONGRESS Tremendous Effort Under Way to Insert Dryer"
 Provision in Food Bill M NY DISSATISFIED WITH PRESENT CLAUSE This Faction, However, Is Divided on Exact Measures Wanted and
 This May Allow Present
 Drastic Changes

Washington, June 22.-All other phases of the rather perfunctory fight in the House over the food control bill were oyershadowed oy tonight by interest in preparation by prohibition advocates for a determined effort to insert a stronger dry provision before the final vote tomorrow.
 The section which would authorize the President to limit. regulate, prohibit or reduce the supply of food materials or feeds used in making alcoholic liquors falls far short of the demands of most of the anti-liquor element A majority hopes for absolute prohibition of the use of grain for beverage purposes during the war They are not agreed on any one proposed amendment, however, and their divisions may result in leaving the present provision unchanged.
 Except for the prohibition drive noth- ing was in sight tonight to prevent pas sage tomorrow in the House and the outlook in the Senate for quick action also was considered good
 Promising plans for compromises on disputed points in the Senate caused Chairman Gore of the agriculture com mittee and Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the bill, to express belief that 1t would be ready for conference by July 1, the date by which Presiden, Wilson urges that the legislation should be enacted.
 Formality of debate proceeded in the Senate. with Senator Reed of Missouri, after a late start, occupying most of the afternoon in opposition to the meas ure, while other leaders continued infor- mai conferences looking to compromises. A plan for adjournment tonight until Monday to allow further conferences was abandoned because of the universal desire to conclude the lengthy speeches several senators are planning in order to proceed to amendments by the middle or latter part of next week, after the House bill has been received

ENROLLING MEN
FOR BIG ARMY
ENTIRE WORK WILL BE IN THE
HANDS OF VOLUNTEER
CIVILIANS

WASHINGTON, d. c., May g.
The war department has made public
plans for military registration by ap-
pealing for the voluntary services
of state election and other officers
to enroll millions of men for army
duty. The whole task will be in civ
ilian hands with every suggestion of
military force removed. All persons
eligible for service will be required
to present themselves for registra-
tion in the precincts where they have
permanent homes on the day the
president will announce.
Under the principle of universal
liability to serve, execution of the
law is placed in the hands of the
people The machinery of registra
tion will be placed in charge of the
sheriff, county clerk and county
physician, unless the governor an
nounces a different board.
Persons absent from their home
counties may be registered by mail
Persons too sick to present them
selves must send a competent per
son to the county clerk for instruc
tions. Officials of educational ant
charitable institutions, wardens o
jails, penitentiaries and reformator
les should apply to the county clerl
| for instructions.

thy Associated Freaa.l
PETROGRAD, May 5.--The pro
visional government through Premier
Lvofs. has declined to modify the
answer sent the allies, and the gov
ernment declared that the ministers
are prepared to resign their positions
if necessary Premier Lvofs said:
1T is impossible to send another
note; such a step would menace the
country with serious consequences.
The government understands fully
the responsibility it has assumed"
Foreign Secretary Milukoff said:
"The note expressed the view of
the temporary government which has
another aim respecting our needs, as
for the means of continuing the war
We are 1ependGt upon our allies,
especially America. 1t would be an
everlasting BLOT on our history If
there should be a possibility of con-
ducting a separate peace But the
council itself has declared against a
separate peace"
