Deny Sweden's Imports Go Elsewhere

The government already has taken ex-

and it becomes impossible to import need
ed commodities.
In view of the assertions in some quar-

formerly minister of foreign affairs and
now president of the government war
trade commission, for statement He
said:

DRAFT NEXT WEEK
Continued from Page Cne)

Der will be drafted. Thus as each
number is drawn, approximately 80,
coo men will be drafted or one IN eacf
exemption district. If 100000 men are
to be called before the exemption
boards in the first selection, which
seems highly probable. only 40 numbers
uould need to be drawn, and the meth
cd of solving them can be known only
when the administration makes known
its plan in detail,
For instance the number of regis
tered individuals in each district who
are liable for military service will GER
tainly not be the same. Aliens are reg
istered but not liable for duty.
All this must be considered in framing
the regulations. Provision must be made
also to balance as far as possible the
chances of military duty betEeen the
men in each district. so that disqualified
ton of a large number in any particular
district for any reason will not put upon
those qualified additional likelihood of
being sent to the front.
Various ways of accomplishing this
correction of chances so as to make the
nuity can contrive have been suggested
The matter has had President Wilson S
personal consideration in line with his
pledge that the method employed would
be just in every respect.
While the first contingent of the new
army under the bill is limited to 800, 0oo
men. an additioal 125.o00 or 10000 will be
Of this force. Reserve battalions are now
being recruited for all regular regiments
and will be recruited for the national
guard when 1t is drafted into the federal
service. The organization OF the national
army will be on the same basis. 1t may
be necessary also to draft men to I'LL up
the regular army and national guard to
war strength. although no decision to this
effect has been reached as yet.
The regulars are now close to war
strength and the guard units are re-
cruiting rapidly. If possible they will
be completed by the. war volunteer
system.
There is one other consideration
which will affect the total number of
men to be drawn. Opinion varies as
to the number of exemptions which
must be made for the various causes
outlined in the exemption regulations.
A rough estimate of at least so per
cent exemptions for physical or other
reasons has been generally employed
In computing the probable size of the
task before the exemption boards.
A factor which is being worked out
in the selection regulations is the pro-
vision of the law requiring that each
state be given credit at the drawings
for the number of men it has supplied
as volunteers in the regular army or
the national guard.

splendid live stock exhibits at some

These exhibits served to interest," the

then the boil weevil, the second NUN

problem began to advocate livestock
