How The Drawing Was Done
WASHINGTON, July 21-The great
lottery to fix the order of liability
for military service of each of the
100000 men of the United States
registered for war began at 9:49 this
morning. By some time tonight every
man Will know whether he is among
the first 1870 900 co be called.
From this number local exemp-
ton boards are to select $4,000 for
Americas first draft army, or a half
million.
In a committee room of the senate
office building, with representatives
of the press present, war department
officials and members of the senate
and house military committees began
the drawing of 10000 slips.
Secretary Baker was the first to
withdraw a capsule, which enclosed a
slip, from a great bowl.
Blindfolded, he drew number 25S.
Chamberlain Of the military commit
tee drew the second number, 1922.
Dent drew the third, 1913.
Warren and Kahn drew the next
two numbers. Then the drafting was
turned owe to the appointed t~ellers.
1t is unofficially CJtimated that APP
p~roximately 1000, 900 men were repre-
scented in the first 1000 numbers
which had been drawn at 1892 o'clock
a little over an hour and a half after
the drawing began.
These ~tellers, who were blindfolded,
took from the bowl the numbers as
fast as the and call clerks
could keep pace. They drew numbers
from a high wide-mouthed bowl set
on an oak table in front of the tally
clerks desk. The bits of paper were
~blackened on the back so that from
the outside none could determine the
numbers stamped thereon, and were
curled into gelatine capsules.
OF the first 1900 numbers drawn
4O5 were below 5000. If the normal
district has 5000 registrants, then the
names designated by the 405 is about
100000.
In the first thousand numbers that
were drawn there we're 270 which af-
fected the normal district of 5000 reg
istrants. Applying this to the entire
county, these two hundred serial
numbers below 5000 should designate
1900, 900 names.

WASHINGTON, July 24-Look in
your jewel box and see if you have
any platinum there. If so, give it
or sell it to Uncle Sam, who needs it
to help fight the war.
A great quantity of platinum is
needed by the war any navy depart

and hand %grenades and bombs.
Illuminate of mercury also is one
of the most powerful of explosives. Il
also is n of the most sensitive, so
much so that it cannot be handled
with any degree of safety except by
experts. For war use it is put in small
metal capsules, the tiniest quantity of

tOn the most lazy explosives loaded

rms country produces not more
than 10 per cent of what it consumes
in peace times, and Russia, whose
output for many years has represent
ed 95 per cent of the world produc-
ton, is now mining less than one
fourth of the quantity she supplied
prior to the war. The precious min e.
eral which some years ago was worth
only a little more than $23 an ounce
has today a market value of over 500
an ounce.
The rarity Of the metal is seer when
the worlds production since 1S43 has

STAR FRENCH AIR AER0NAUT
BREAKS A RECORD
Wins Twenty First Fight About $4,000
Feet Above The Surface of The
Earth.
Omitted Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
(By MaiD Lieutenant Guynemer,
star ace" of the entire French aerial
service, who recently brought down
his twenty-first Officially confirmed"
German airplane, established at the
same time a new worlds record for
aerial combats, the air duel having
taken place at an altitude of over two
miles, after a chase of over seventy
kilOmeters. The entire battle was one
of the most dramatic air episodes
that the entire war has produced.
The French's undisputed mastery of
the air, which now renders it prac-
tically impossible for a German ma
chine ever to cross the French lines.
has imposed on the French flyers the
necessity of flying far back of the
German lines to get in contact with
the German machines. 1t was while
on one of these hunts that Guynemer,
flying at an altitude of over $4,000
feet and at a distance of over seventy
lIilOmeters behind the German lines,
sighted a German squadron of two
observation airplanes with an ascort
of two fighting machines, heading for
the French lines.
There was nothing to prevent Guy
nemer giving immediate battle except
that should he be forced to land he
would fall in the German lines He
therefore took refuge behind some
friendly clouds until the German
squadron should pass ahead of him,
then started the pursuit from behind.
closing up sufficiently so that if he
should be seen by the German anti
air craft gunners from below, he
would be taken merely for one of the
German planes.
For seventy kilometers he kept up
the pursuit, concealing himself as
much as possible from the German
machines by keeping behind the
clouds. When the French lines at
last appeared below him. he emerged
in full view and began to fight The
German machine nearest him CHANGED
to be an observation plane and dart.
ing down on it he opened his ma
chine gun fire at an altitude of two
miles. He killed the observer with
his third bullet and with the tenth
the pilot shot from the machine dead
and the plane began its whirling
course down toward the French lines.
Although the machine was the sec
ond one Guynemer had brought down
that day, he at once started after the
other three. but they in the mean
time had disappeared towards their
own lines.
Without further ado Guynemer
started in search of his victim and
succeeded in locating the machine IN
the ravine of MOcourt, the plane itself
shattered into fragments and the bod
les of both the pilot and observer ~
ing within radius of sixty yards.
The fight was witnessed by mem
bers of the American squadron who
are now stationed where they have
the advantage of witnessing some OF
the exploits of most of the crack
"aces" of the French aerial service

enable the farmer to turn mort
gage into an investment When he
can borrow at a less rate than it
yields him he is able to pay off his
Indebtedness out of the profits of his
investment. A long time loan en-
ables him to use his money iudiciously
so that it will contribute to increased
value of his land and it's increased
producing power.
The operations of the Farm Loan
act are divided into two main classes
"a money assembling agency and
money lending agency
The government puts the first nest
egg into the farm loan plan by buying
the original capital stock of the
twelve Federal Land Banks if neces-
sary. When this has been loaned and
farm mortgages taken in return for
the money loaned the Federal Land
Bank may issue bonds against these
mortgages.
These bonds will be among the most
attractive securities ever offered to
American investors. AS explained be-
fore, farmers are PERMITTED to Dor
row only up to so per cent of the
value of their land. This means that
every dollars worth of bonds. issued
represents $500 worth of land as Sc
curity.
The fact that each Federal Land
Bank guarantees the bonds of all the
other banks also puts behind these
I bonds as security the nine million dol
lars original capital stock of the
banks and their required surplus
earnings. plus the required annual
deduction of the mortgage loan.
Besides this, the security constant
ly increases proportionately by rea-
son of the constantly increasing CAPT
tai contributed by the Farm Loan as
sOciatiOn.
So the investment end of the Farm
Loan act is fully as important as the
money lending end, because it creates
for the benefit of small and large in
vestOrs a security backed by pooled
first mortgages on farm lands, the
proceeds being used to increase the
productive power, and enhance the
value of these mortgage lands.
Since the rate of interest to the far
mer depends upon the rate of interest
at which these bonds will sell, Con-
gress went the limit to make these
bonds attractive so they would sell
at a low interest rate The bonds are
exempt from all form of taxation. The
government will not even collect any
income tax upon them. No state or
municipality may tax them for any
purpose.
In order to make these bonds appeal
to investors of all classes they are
issued in denominations of from $25
to $1,000.
In order to protect them against
counterfeiting. they are issued by the
United States Government bureau of
engraving and printing and are pro-
tected from counterfeiters by the
whole force of the United States Sc
cret service.

SHIP CAROLYN SAFE
IN RIO De JANEIRO
Pioneer Vessel of New South Ameri-
can Merchant Marine Welcomed in
Brazil.
Omitted Press)

RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan 1S.-When
the good American ship Carolyn" pi-
Oneer of the new service established
between Philadelphia and ports of
Brazil and Argentine, steamed into
this harbOr just now, Pan-American
business prospects sighed a real sigh
of relief
The new service will go along way
toward relieving a tense transporta-
tion situation in the opinion of ship
pers here. Bi-mOnthly, even weekly
steamers arc predicted for the near
future.
After discharging her general car
go, about 5000 tons, in this port the
Carolyn" turned her nose again
to the south for the ports of Santos
and BuenOs Aires. She will touch at
Montevideo on later trips.
The assurance of the immediate
success of the new transportation
enterprise is not based entirely on
the situation created by the European
war. Shippers here declare that
American export trade with South
American countries has grown ire
mendously in the last three years. 1t
is declared that many Brazilian prod
ucts are meeting difficulty in finding
transportation for the United States
particularly coffee and rubber.
The Carolyn" made the trip from
Philadelphia in twenty-three days
which is about the average speed OF
boats of her class.
BY curious coincidence the
Carolyn" was the first steamer to
go through the Panama Canal after
the opening of the "big ditch Pho
neer on the "Canal Route" she is now

AMORTIZATION PLAN
CLEARLY EXPLAINED
System For Repayment Under Farm
Loan Act Is Decribed-How Bonds
Are Sold.

Omitted Press)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S-One of the
features of the Federal farm loan act
which makes a strong appeal to farm
ers is that it compels them gradually
TO retire their Indebtedness through
a long or short period of years.
This process is called amortization
Under it the interest and principal
are paid off in equal annual or semi
annual installments throughout the
period of the loan so that at the end
of the term of the mortgage the Dor
rover is out Of debt.
All loans under the Farm Loan act
are made under the amortization or
installment plan. Since the borrow
er begins paying off his debt the first
year after he gets it, and because a
long time loan is best suited to far
mers, borrowers under this act are
permitted to execute mortgages to
run from five to forty years at their
option.
Permission is given to pay all of
the loan or any part of it on any
interest paying date after the mort
gage has run five years. Borrowers
are not permitted to pay off within
the first five years, because the money
which they have borrowed has been
procured by the bank through the sale
of its bonds, and bonds cannot be
sold for shorter period than five
years.
The use of the borrowed money is
limited to the following purposes: to
purchase land or additional land; to
pay off existing Indebtedness; to pur-
chase live stock or to make any pro-
ductive improvements such as clear
ing, fences, drainage, buildings and
machinery.
The object of amortization is to
