County roads in upper Brandywine
hundred and in Mil Creek and Chris

situation resulting Is further compi-
Gated by the shortage Of labor and
teams according to County Engineer
Wilson. This is the haying and early

roads back in good condition.
On some OF the roads. great piles
OF dirt. from two to four feet high and
running the length Of a city block
have been washed from cultivated
fields into the roadways so that these
roads are almost impossible at places.
The county engineer Is trying TO
ind some means OF removing these
piles but he says he cannot get the
teams or labor.
The sewers which drain the roads
in these hundreds have also become
badly blocked reNulting in still FUR

GORE SUBSTITUTE OPPOSED
Executive Said to Have Expressed
Dissatisfaction With Smoot
Liquor Amendment.

Washington, D. G. - President
Wilson has come to the support of the
administration food control bill as
originally submitted to congress.
In response to a request from SEN
ate leaders for assistance in solving
the difficulties standing in the way of
action there, the president sent to
Democratic Leader Martin a personal
letter, recommending the general pur-
poses of the general bill for govern
ment control of foods, feeds and fuels
only.
He wrote that he believed %unnecces-
sary the extension of government con-
troll of steel, iron, copper, cotton, wool,
leather and other products.
The substitute bill drawn by Sena-
tor Gore is opposed by the president
as an e~masculation of the administra-
ton legislation. He wrote that he
considered prompt final disposition of
the legislation imperative.
The presidents letter. which was
not made public, is understood not to
have discussed prohibition in any
form. On reliable authority, however,
it is said that in his conference with
the senate leaders the president ex-
pressed disagreement with the Smoot
amendment adopted by the senate last
week, directing purchase by the gov
eminent of all stocks of distilled bev-
erages in bond at cost, plus 10 per
cent.
On receipt of the Presidents letter

obtain action along the lines suggest.
ed. Senator'S Lodge, Smoot and other
Republican leaders were called into

ranged.

EACH NUMBER DRAWN
AFFECTS 1900 men

Washington, D. c. - Drawing of
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 or
ganized.
A plan Of drawing will be followed
under which a definite place in the
waiting lists will be given every one
of the millions who registered.
Those standing at the head of the
list in each country or city district
will be called first before the examina-
ton boards and then the obligation
will pass on down the line as long as
men are needed.
This does not meal that a separate
name or number will be drawn for
every one of the country's $500, 900
registrants. In fact, every number,
under the theory of the plan, will
represent more than 1000 men, one
for each of the registration districts.
