Last Night.

Yesterday marked the closing of
the colored Odd Fellows convention
in this city. The old officers were re-
elected for the coming year earlier in
the week. Yesterday was the day of
the big celebration. The band played
and the lodges paraded all over town
in dress uniform. Speeches galore
were made and all the colored peo-
pie in this region were in town to
heare them, it seemed. The conven-
hon has been success as far as the
lodge members enjoying themselves
was concerned. One feature of the
convention was the competitive drills
between the different lodges repre-
'ented. In the parade these bodies
executed fancy manoeuvers and ey-

Fast Fighting and MasterfuI
Strategy Increase Hope for
Capitals Capture.

Another step in the outfanking of
the Austro-German armies protecting
Lemberg on the east has been achiev-
ed by the Russians, who have crossed
the River Lomnica and captured Kali
usz. Beyond the Lomnica and south
of the Dniester, west of Halicz, Gen.
eral Korniliff's advance continues.
When the Russians occupied Kali
usz after forcing a passage of the
Lomnica, they had advanced 20 miles
northwestward from StanisIauin five
days. In the same time the eighth
Russian army took HaIlczand crossed
the Dniester there and began advance
between Stanislau and Bohorodozay.
A great wedge has been torn in the
Austro-German line south of the
Dniester and the army headquarters
in that region was occupied in the
taking of Kalusz.
In France the British have driven
off German raiding parties near the
Belgian coast and west of Queant,
and southeast of Arras. The aerial
activity on this part of the front has
been more pronounced and ten Ger
man airplanes were driven down, six
out of control, by British airmen,
three Of whom failed to return to
their base. Behind the German line,
near the coast in Flanders, British
airmen have attacked military object
ives, causing fires and explosions.

First Numerals Selected Will
Call Men Into the Army
OF September.
$500, AWAIT THE CALL
Each Mineral Will Designate
More Than 1900 Men
For Service.

WdohlnStOl, Ouiy III. DidWhiS vi
lots for the selective draft not only
will determine what men are to be
called to the colors in the first war
army, but will show in what order
the others registered will be liable
for service when later armies are
organized. 1t was revealed that
plan of drawing will be followed I'M
der which a definite place in the wait
ing lists will be given every one Of
the millions who registered. Those
standing at the head Of the list in each
county or city district will be called
first before the examination boards
and then the obligation will pass on
down the line as loLg as men are
needed. This does not mean that
separate name or number will be
drawn for everyone Of the coutry's
$780, 600 registrants. In fact every
number drawn under the theory of
the plan, will represent more than
a, 900 men, one for each of the regis
tration district.
THE SELECTION PLAN.
Details of the system have not been
made public, but an outline of its
principal features follows:
Every registration board has num-
bered the cards in its possession in
red ink, beginning at number and
continuing to a number correspond
ing with the total in the district.
AT the drawing numbers will be
used ranging from number | up to a
number corresponding to the total in
the largest district of the country.
The first number drawn will deter
mine what man in each district is to
be taken first. If it be number 10,
for example, it will mean that the
man in each district holding local card
number 10 will be called for exami-
nation before any of the other men in
that district.
The second number drawn will de-
termine what man in each district is
to be taken second, and so on as long
as men are needed. Those not need
ed for the first war army will retain
their positions on the lists and these
positions will determine the order of
their liability when they are needed.
EACH LEARNS THE ORDER OF
HIS ABILITY.
The drawing will be public and
each number will be announced as it
is drawn. AT the offices of most local
exemption boards the red ink num-
bers of the registrants already are
posted, so that registrants may in
form themselves before hand of their
respective numbers. If they do, as
soon as word of the drawing comes
they will know just what order of
liability they stand.
Obviously there will be high num-
bers drawn for which there are no
corresponding registrants in small
districts. The smallest district in the
country is understood to have but
1877 registrants and the largest about
1000. Whenever a number beyond
the total in any given district comes
out it will operate as a blank for that
district. Thus if the theory works
evenly the larger districts will be
constantly assessed in excess of the
smaller on pro-rata basis CORE
spending to their size.
The drawing probably will be
held some time daring the week of
July %.

What girl or woman hasn't heard Of
lemon juice to remove complexion

bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white

the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces Of
orchard white. then shake well and
you have whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the

of ordinary cold craem. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice SO no pulp gets
into tho bottle, then this lotion will re-

applied daily to the face, neck, arms
and hands it naturally should help to

Any druggist will supply three
