London.-The British prime minis
ter, David Lloyd-George, speaking at
a great patriotic demonstration in
Queens hall. in commemoration Of
Belgian Independence Day" chsrac-
teriEed the speech Of the German
chancellor, DIR. Georg Michaelis, as a
mere sham and declared that he did
not want the Germans ito harbOr any
decisions that they are going to
put Great Britain out Of this fight
until liberty has been re-established
throughout the world"
Great Britain could make peace
with a fret Germany. but with a Ger
many dominated by autocracy, de-
clared the premier, there never could
be peace.
The Germans, said the premier,
we're making the same mistake in un
derestimating Americas efforts In the
war as they had made about Great
Britain at the beginning.
They said that we would not
fight" continued Mr.. Lloyd George,
"and II we did, we could not. We had
no army and couldn't raise one, and
they need not worry about Britain.
] think they have discovered their
mistake about us, and they are now
just going through the same process
with America.
81 want to put this to them: Great
Britain, not a very large country,
while she is maintaining and equip
ping and even building up equipment
for an army of millions, afield and in
reserve, in full fighting array; while
she is maintaining the largest navy in
the world, can organize in the third
year of an exhausting war to urn out
millions Of tons Of new shipping; is
America, with twice the population of
this country, with endless natural re-
sources, going to be beaten merely be-
cause she puts forth no effort? The
mar who talks like that knows not
America; otherwise he would not say
It."
Referring directly to the German
~chancellor's sneering remark that
America has no ships and no army
and that when America has an army
II will nave no ships to bring them
across the sea, the premier said:
He knows America just as little a.
the Germans knew Great Britain"
Far from being starved by the
U-boats, Mr.. Lloyd-George declared.
Great Britain's food supply for 1918
was already secured, production was
increasing and losses at sea were
diminishing. He had sought in the
chancellor's speech for something
which he could hope for the ending OF
the bloody struggle.
But" he declared, 81 see in it q
sham independence for Belgium; q
sham democracy for Germany, a sham
peace for Europe. and say that Eu

gallant sons to set up a sanctuary fol

Great Draft Lottery Continues
for is Hours Before Final
Number Is Drawn.

Washington, July 21.-America's
great army Of democracy has been
drafted. At 9:49 o'clock on Friday
morning Secretary Of War Baker,
bllndfolded, drew from a big glass
bowl the first capsule and the number
In It was announced as 25s. Other
distinguished officials In turn drew out
numbers, and then the task was turned
over to the regular t%ellers, who worked
steadily at It until early Saturday
morning, when the final capsule was
drawn.
The beginning of the draft was par
ticipated In and witnessed by a COM
pany Of nOtables as large as could be
accommodated and was surrounded
with all due sOlemnity. After Sec
rotary Baker had drawn the first num-
Der, seven others were drawn by Sen
ator Chamberlain of the senate mill
tary committee, Congressman Dent Of
the house military committee, Sena-
tor Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the sen
ate and house military committees
Maj. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss, acting
chief Of staff of the army Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal Of
the army and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general of the army.
More than a million men were rep
resented by the first 1000 numbers
drawn, according to an official state
ment, and Il is likely that only the
first 1000 drawn will be called before
the exemption boards for the first
army. The numbers above a few
thousand will not affect registrants
except in a small number of the larg-
est districts. OF the 1857 registration
districts throughout the country the
largest has something over 10000
numbers, while the smallest has only
about 1875, and the average is about
5000. AS the drawing proceeded, 157
numbers were withdrawn before one
low enough to affect the smallest dis
trict came out. 1t was 126, placing
1857 men numbered 126 on their local
lists az 157th in order Of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the sec
ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line, beginning with
the first number, which was drawn by
Secretary Baker.

CHAPTER Viii.

Saturday evening 1t wa the custom
Of the Bryants to entertain the rector
at dinner.
Now, In his absence, 1t was the as
slstant rector who dlned in the paneled
JacObean dining room of the Bryant
house, swallowing much unctuOus die
tatiOn as to church policy with his
dinner.
Not that Ward was mild. But he
had an easy way of listening to the
advice Of his various influential N1rish-
toner's and then going ahead and doing
as he liked. In nO%nessentials he al
ways yielded. To him the church was
so much bigger than its ritual.
That evening Mrs. Bryant had taken
mp the question of women in the choir.
Frankly, Mr.. Ward" she said, ig-
noring her fish, Il do not approve Of
It. It's the feminist movement, / tell
you. Before long they'll want to be
OF the vestry."
Ward glanced up, half smiling. The
pear-shaped pearl, which usually hung
Mt his hostess withered throat, was,
naturally, not there. From the pearl
to the parish house, from the parish
house to Elinor-thus in two leaps of
Wards mind he was far from the sub
n hand.

" said Mrs. Bryant, "as honorary
'sident of the Womau's guild, ] pro-

tck to the choir with a jump came

T wonder" Ward reflected, "wheth-
er a matter OF tradition and custom
will prevent women from singing In
the heavenly choir!"
Mrs. ECyGnt stabbed at her fish. But
she had not finished. There were
many things about Saint Iude's that
did not please her. The burial Of old
Hilary Kingston had been one. She
seized on that.
"A nOn-communicant," she snapped.
"An inhdel, an atheist! The daughter
is living alone up there at this min
ute. 1t isn't respectable. It's a bad
example to the girls in the village. The
house Ia full of men all the time"
"That must be a mistake"
1T Is quite true. Servants talk, you
know. What can You expect? Raised
out Of the church, with no belief, and,
of course, no moral instruction"
Ward bent forward over the table.
"That is a very serious statement,
Mrs. Bryant" His eyes were like
steel. "Of course you are not baslng
it merely on what you hear from serv-
ants|
Mrs. Bryant flushed, a purplish spot
in the center of each sagging cheek.

According to the records of the Custom House, the annual gold output of the peninsula is approximately S500,000 lower than last year The quantity of gold shipped through the Custom House and Postoff1ce last year was valued at s2,S33, ,OSS.O7, which by the way. was an increase of $50, 000 over that of the proceeding season. The shipments this year totaled g, 35S, 550.62 or $47i, 4S2 10 less than 1916. The decreased production is mainly due to the inability of the dredges to commence operations early in the sea- son. More than half of the dred gng fleet failed to operate until the last days of June and several were oc- Cupied with repairs and alterations during a major part of the open sea- son.
