from the force.
In a statement issued today.
Mayor Gill declared he had no
objection to the policemen form
ing a union, but denied their
right to strike.
Won't Allow Strike.

from any public officer" the
mayor said. Once he quits he is
thru, and, so far as l am con-
cerned, he will not be reinstated.
A policeman is a public officer,

Is working for private en-
ployer."
Although the first attempt to
run street cars yesterday met
with complete failure and the de-
molishing of two cars, Mana ger
A. l.. Kempster announced that
another effort would be made to-
day.
Two cars which were sent out
from the North Seattle car barns
yesterday afternoon were COM
PEELED to return half an hour
later, smashed and splintered. A
crowd of nearly 5000 persons
followed the cars down town,
hurting rocks thru the windows
and reducing the framework of
the cars to splinters. Eight men
were arrested.
1t was during the attempt to
operate the first cars that 20 po-
licemen refused to ride on the
non-union cars, marched In a
body from the car barns to labor
headquarters and began the for
nation of a union.
Backed by Firemen.
The policemen are being back
ed by the firemen, who have a
strong organization here, ana by
all the city's labor unions.
The movement for sympa-
thetic strike of all building
trades unions was launched last
night with the adoption of the
following motion:
ihut tit SCNi CldIy bouu 70 all
unions affiliated with the Build
ing Trades council a communica-
ton notifying them to be ready
to answer to a call for q general
strike in the building industry
until such time as the Puget
Sound Traction, Light G. Power
Co. grants the rights of its en-
ployes to organize"
A membership of about $1,000
is included In the 80 unions af-
filiated with the council.
Two of the policemen who re-
fused to ride as strikebreakingI
guards are members of building
trades unions.
The council also adopted reso-
lutions protesting against the de-
failing OF policemen on street
cars.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder to-
day announced he had located the
one missing number in yester-
days drawing-and with this,
Americas great lottery passed
Into history.
Checking up in sheets has been
completed, and the official lists,
in printed and photographed
form, will be on their way to all
exemption boards before night
fall.
The great machinery of calling
the country's young men for
physical examination will be I'M
der way the first of the week.
Where and how the missing
number was located. was not dis
closed. And Crowder said he
couldn't recollect what the miss
ing number was.
With its location, however,
everyone went to bed and what
number was hidden in the va
grant pellet will not determined
The department of justice is
delving into every question
touching upon the appointment
and work of exemption boards to
see that no charge of illegality
may be brought up against the
draft.

The farthest local board should
have its official list by next
Thursday or Friday, at the latest.
Then the work of selecting the
fit and the unexempted will pro-
coed. Local boards will send out
word to those who must answer
the first call, tho the individual
himself is responsible for know

AS the men are notified, they
must present themselves for
physical examination. They will
be noted as accepted or re-
iected.

exemption they must present it
to their exemption boards, who
will pass on it quickly.

following the 3,000th therefore

The men who will respond to
the first call were, therefore,

yesterday. Official lists will be
furnished within the next five orr
six days.
1t will be Sept. 5, or later, be-
fore the actual physical work of
sorting out the new army is ac-
complished. AS soon as this is
done the government will sum-
mon $4,000 to the colors, to
compose the new national army
and fill gaps in the regular army
and national guard.
These men will then be sent
to cantonment camps-if they
are ready-and drilled intensive

that Cahan had been held in $1,000
bail for the grand jury on charge
advanced by Mrs Lillian Rebarer,
wife of John Rebarer, an instructor
of music, now living at Far Rock

Mrs. Rebarer explained this charge
at length last night. According to
her, Cahan's wife had been accus-
toned to take music lessons from Re-

nue.. On July 3, she said, Cahan ap-

was without foundation Mrs. Re-

BIG GUNS SHAKE LONDON

Houses Culver Under Blasts of Heavy
Artillery Now Bclching Forth Death
on Flanders BattlefieldS.
London July 37.-Reports from the
front unanimously declare that all OF
the superlatives which have been hith-
erto used in describing artillery oper-
atoms are hopelessly inadequate to
impress the magnitude of the present
bombardment on the British front.
Such assurances are entirely unnec-
essary in London. for the reason that
the reverberations from the Flanders
battlefield are heard every night when
the roar of the city's traffic subsidies.
There are curious debates constantly
to be heard as to whether the people
really hear or feel the reverberations,
which frequently make houses tren BILE
as from shocks of far distant earth
quake. The effect makes a powerful
appeal to the imagination. Most peo-
pie insist that they feel the shocks
rather than hear the reports.
1t is pointed out that the people who
think they really hear the cannon are
probably wrong. for the reason that
the sound would probably be dissi-

SCIENCE TO WEED
OUT ARMY towards
Specialists to Make Our Forces
NerVeleSS Soldiers

New York, July 31.-Some of
Americas foremost specialists are to
apply the most modern methods Of
science to the new United States
Army in effort to make it the most
level-headed, nervetess outfit that
ever went over the top or stood
fast under fire. A single panicky
rookie Is recognized as a grave dan
ger to a company, and science be-
lieves it can forestall that individual
panic about six times out of seven.
1t is generally recognized that no
man remains normal when under 1lre
for the first time, few the second t1me
and many for the third time ana
fourth. The man whose reactions TO
abnormal conditions completely over
come his will power used to be called
a coward If his reactions continued
to evade or overcome his mental
strength he was drummed out OF
camp or met a more violent fate.
Mental hygienists and nerve spe-
cialists have differentiated types OF
towards" and turned the we'll worn
story of the craven who became a
hero wrong side out to see the wheels
go round. The result Is that despite
the earnest testimony Of ancient top
sergeants the coward in scientific
phraseology, is virtually extinct.
There are, indeed, detectives of va
rious kinds and grades, but the ma
jority of them can now be classified
and neatly labelled, and many Of
them respond to treatment.
The task Of the doctors who are to
see to it that the new army Is sound
in nerves as well as in wind and linn
is to sort out and classify these de
fectives." AS there are only fifty Of
the specialists and the first draft of
the new army will fill sixteen train
ing camps with some 10000 men
apiece, the job looks hopeless on the
face Of it.
The characteristics Of the men who
need examination, however, betray
them. For the most part they are
types which will get into trouble in
one way or another under the strict
discipline of a military cantonment.
The three specialists in each camp
will centralize their attentions on oc-
cupants Of the guardhouse and men
habitually assigned to extra fatigue.
