Selective Draft Drawing
Is Held Today In,
Washington.
Officials Estimate That Twelve
Hours VIII be Required
To Complete The Work.

Washington, July 19.-Plans for
the drawing which is being held to-
day to fix the order of military la
bility for nearly 100000 regis
tered men throughout the country
were materially changed late today
and the intricate method of double
drawing worked out by officials to
lessen the physical task was aban-
doned
Instead of process requiring not
more than an hour and involving
one set of numbers from to 1000
and another from to 10, it will be
necessary to draw one at a time at
least 10,263 numbers. Probably. to
make certain that every registrant
in the largest district is ,slaced, 10,-
500 drawings will be made. It will
require at least ten and half hours,
and officials in charge believe that it
will take twelve. The process begun
this morning at 9:3O o'clock.
The numbers will be publicly an
nounced for telegraphing to the
newspapers over the country as fast
as they are drawn. General Crowder
at first considered a plan under
which they would be held in conf
dence for publication everywhere
morning but the sugges-
ton was abandoned late tonight.

FEWER CASES OF TYPHOID

The following statement concern.

Quarterly Bulletin for June issued
by the Louisiana State Board OF
Health:
"While not so much is being done
in the installation of water and sew
er systems as the State Board
would like, much progress has been
made in these lines. There are now
six places with plans approved and
bonds voted, or with systems of one
of the other about complete. Oak
dale is the latest to complete a
water system.
eff in towns and cities where
water is furnished or a sewer .ys-
tenn installed, property owners were
forced to connect, there would be
fewer cases of typhoid"

New German Chancellor
Stands by U-Boats
TLe, Are Lawful IN Their

corenhapen, July 19.-Dr. Mich
..,l. the new. German imperial
.h,ncellor, in his address r the
Reichstag Thursday as to Germany's
.rhmarine campaign, asserting it to
I. . lawful measure, justifiably ad-
orted for shortening the war.
s.. Michaelis opened his Reich
stag speech with hearty tribute to
nr Won Bethmann-Hollweg, the re-
t;r;ne imperial chancellor, whose
vork he said, history would appre-
ciate.
The chancellor declared that the
mr. was forced upon unwilling Ger
many by the Russian mobilization
and that the submarine war was also
forced upon Germany by Great Brl-
tain's illegal blockade starvation
war.
The faint hope that America, at
the head of the neutrals would
.heck Britain's illegality was vain.
fermany's final attempt to avoid
the extremity by peace offer fall
ID and the submarine campaign was
adopted, said the chancellor.
The submarines the speaker con-
timed, had done all and more than
had been expected, and the false
prophets who had predicted the end
II the war at definite time had
done q disservice to the fatherland.

New York Businessmen

Lies in Speed.

New York, July 19.-Startled by
the gravity Of the submarine situa-
ton, and convinced that unless
America acts quickly the war will be
lost to the Allies, a group of promi-
nent business men met today in the
Chamber of Commerce and franly
discussed the ever-growing peril re-
presented by the mounting toll be-
ing taken by the German U-boats.
After the meeting, ,Eugenus H.
Outerbridge, president Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, expressed this as
his settled opinion of the situation:
eff the present rate of sinkings is
maintained, without the full force
of American industrial effort, there
can be bit one conclusionD-we will
lose the war;"
Mr.. Outerbridge made it plain
that it was not the purpose of the
meeting to take sides in the Den
man. -Goethals row. It was the con-
sensus of opinion that in the light of
recent information both Mr.. Den
man and General Goethals have been
wrong in their proposed solution of
the U-boat menace-Mr. Denman
because he has advocated the build
ing of wooden ships of slow speed
and General Goethals because he
has been letting contracts for fabri-
Gated steel ships with maximum
speed of ten and one-half knots.

troll from the Mexican side. The out
post at Ojo de Aqua hearing the
Americans returning the shots, i'm

OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT
The Millionaire Double

Heart-broken over the elopement
of his wife, an American millionaire
closes up his home and journeys
across the continent in an effort to
forget the domestic tragedy. A
thief steals a sealskin overcoat from
his home, is attacked by other thugs,
killed, and his body, because Of the
overcoat and papers in it, il identi-
fled as that Of the millionaire.
A noted swindler takes advantage
of this situation and, knowing the
eloping wife is dead, compels a girl
who is in his power to pose as the
widow. The millionaire sees a no
tice Of his own death, returns to his
home, meets the pretty widow
falls in love with her and pretends
to enter into the swindler's plot. At
last the girl, not knowing the real
identity Of the millionaire, confesses
everything to him, and he iconfesses
his love for her. It is play that is
tense with thrills and heart interest.
