FLOWER OF NATION
LISTED FOR DRAFT
MORE THAN TEN MILLION YOUNG
AMERICANS ENROLLED FOR
WAR SERVICE.
The Manhood of United States Obeys
the Presidents Call, Registration
Being 100 Per Cent, Spontaneous
and Without Murmur

Washington.-More than 10,000,00t
young Americans enrolled themselve!
on June 5 for war service. Regis
tration day, with but a few weeks Of
preparation, saw the first military cen
sus ever taken in the United States
completed without a single untoward
event of consequence.
The manhood of the nation obeyed
the presidents call and volunteered in
mass, setting at naught all the schemes
and plottings of German sympathizers
| and the few cranks who have agitated
against registration. 1t remains but
to select the men who are to go to the
front.
In some precincts the late Corners
forced officials to keep the polls open
until long after the p. m. closing hour
set in the regulations. General Crow
der authorized them to keep open as
long as men wished to enroll them
selves. The result will be further to
delay the transmission Of returns,
however.
A feature of the registration was the
refusal of hundreds of thousands of men
TO make any reply to the question
do you claim exemption?" Even men
who reported that they had dependent
families; men with obvious physical
disabilities and those whose occupa-
lions are certain to keep them at home
declined to make such a claim. APP
they have entered fully into
the very spirit of the law. They are
content to leave the question of ex-
emption to the exemption boards.
Tuesdays registration included only
United States. Alaska and
Hawaii will record their fighting men
IN dates to be set later and the roll
IF Americans now abroad who are be-
deging consulates all around the world
or registration cards will add to the
'reat list. The state department was
allied upon for additional cards by the
thousands.

of Escape from Flames.

Butte, MOnt--At least 200 miners
met death in the Spectator and Gran
tic Mountain mines of the North Butte
Mining company, on June 9, as the
result Of a fire in the mines.
When the fire was discovered 412
men were in the mines. OF this num-
Der, 222 were rescued from one prop
erty and 60 from the other. Hope of
finding any of the missing men alive
has been abandoned.
The fire started on the 240O level
when a carbide lamp came In contact
with insulation on an electric cable.
The Granite Mountain shaft caved in
for considerable distance.
The city has gone into mourning.
Flags are at half-mast and all public
amusements have been suspended be-
cause Of the disaster.
Twenty-seven men, rescued alive
from the 240O-foot level of the Specu-
lator mine, owe their lives to the
herOism and resourcefulness of Manus

boy. Young Duggan, displaying rare

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
THE SMALLEST TURNOVER
For Any Full Session of the Stock
 Market During Summer.

New York, July 24.-Stocks resumed their downward course today on al most the smallest turnover for any full session thus far this summer. Total dealings barely amounted to a3OO00 shares, steels, equipments and sf1ippings contributing fully two-thirds of the whole. Traders again aligned themselves on the bear side. forcing trices to lowest levels in the last hour, he only active period of the day. So far as they had any incentive at all, operations were almost wholly gov erned by diverse reports from Wash ington.
 Shippings were further depressed at the outset but rallied temporarily on the elimination of the original shipping board only to lose ground again later a time on the interstate commerce commission decision, which favored the western and Pacific coast carriers, but soon fell back with the general list.
 Changes elsewhere scarcely warrant detailed comment, steels and the sev- eral war groups repeating their fla miliar movements of alternate ad- vances and declines United States Steel fuctuated between 122 7-S and 12o If, closing at 12O 1-2. a net loss Of 1 3-S points. Various other indus trials and specialties forfeited extreme gains of one to three points the mar ket ending with a heavy undertone.

  the treasury invited earnest discus sion in banking circles but was with out effect upon local money condi- tfonS. Call loans were made at 1-2 down to 1 3-4 per cent, but no con sessions were reported in time accom- modations. Preparations were under way for next weeks payment of an- ether large Liberty loan payment
 Rubles were the only foreign remit tances to show any pronounced change. repeating their recent low record of 21 on the discouraging military news from Russia. Rumors of an early re- of gold imports from Can ada lacked authoritative confirmation. Dealings in the bond market, except for spora die advances in minor rail- way issues, were altogether perfume tory, with an irregular tone. Liberty 3 1-2s ranged from 99.45 to 99.49 Total sales (par value) aggregated 1928. 900.
 United States old issues were un- changed on call.
