cordingly. In others, aliens were sep arated and given their own group of serial numbers.
 White and Black Tangle. It was hopeless tangle. If the double drawing system were carried out, one election district in any ex- emption division might be swept clean of all it's young men to fill the quota, while the other election districts in the same exemption area furnished no men whatever. In other cases it might be necessary to pass upon and exempt a thousand aliens before a single American was called to service. In others a thousand negroes might be taken for examination before white man was called, or vice versa.
 Drawing Simple and Sufficient.
 There was only one way out and the war department promptly an nounced that the whole intricate method of drawing devised to save time and labor, would be abandoned m favor of the simple, direct plan of drawing sufficient numbers to fix the place of the last man in the largest exemption districts. That was the original plan and it was intended for weeks to draw in that way, but the time involved prompted the effort to devise a short cut that would be fair to all
 Force Congratulates Self.
 Officers of General CrOWdGr s. once congratulated themselves tonight that the difficulty in the way of the double drawing was found today rather than after the drawing. It was certain to have been discovered immediately af- terward and then it would have been necessary to declare it's result can celled and draw again.
 The difficulty that forced abandon ment of the more elaborate method grew out of the detail of the plan. It was proposed to list all registra nts in each district by thousands or frac- tions of thousands. Men whose serial mum bers were in the three thousands would have been put in one group, those with numbers of less than a thousand in another. those with num- bers in the four thousands in another. and so on. The first drawing would have placed these groups of thousands in the order in which the numbers o to 10 were drawn. The second draw ing would then have fixed the order of Iia bility of the individuals in each of the thousands as between them selves, a thousand numbers being drawn to that end.
 Result of Drawing.
 The result would then have been that if the three thousand group were first drawn in the little lottery, all the men bearing serial numbers in the three thousands would have been cal

VESSELS OF TWENTY KNOTS
 SAFE FROM SUBMARINES
1t Is Essential That All New Vessels
 Have Speed.

New York. July 19.-Danger from submarines is virtually nil if the vessels attacked can attain a speed of 20 knots an hour. according to charts displayed at a shipbuilding conference held here today under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce of the state of New York. The figures were shown to lend emphasis to 9 de- mand that the ship construction con troyersy be settled immediately and that the vessels built, either of steel Or wood, be so constructed that they can make at least Is knots an hour
 The chart showed that 100 per cent. of vessels with a speed of five knots or less which have been alta acked by submarines have been sunk. The per centage of losses decreases steadily as tho speed of the ship increases. At 16 knots an hour the percentage sunk has been about 25.
 'If the present rate of sinkings is maintained without the full force of our industrial efforts there can be only one conclusion and that Is that we shall lose the war" declared F. H Outerbridge, president of the cham ber, in outlining the seriousness of the submarine campaign.

TWO STATE REFORMATION
 INMATES SHOT BY GUARD.
One is Probably MortaIIy Wounded, the
 Other Slightly.

Cheshire, Conn, July 19-Two in mates of the state refOrmatory here were shot tonight by a guard while at tempting to escape from the institu- ton. One of them, Michael Gerack, is understood to have been seriously wounded The other, a man named Graham. is said to have been only slightly hurt. the bullet from the guards gun just grazing him
 The men. it is said, had made their way undiscovered from their quarters to the stockade and were attempting to scale it when seen by the guard. When they saw that they had been discovered, despite a warning from the guard to halt, they made a desperate attempt to climb over the fence. The guard then fired and Gerack fell with a bullet wound in the side. Graham gave up when the bullet grazed him. The two men were taken back to the pris- oners' quarters and a physician called. An examina tion is said to have shown that Gerack's wound was very serious and 1t was decided to notify Coroner Mix at New Haven. The coroner is expected here tomorrow morning.

Washington, July 1e.-Because of er- TOTS in procedure of local boards, par ticularly in New Jersey, discovered late today. Provost Marshal General Crowder abandoned the entire elab- crate plan for the war army drawing g tomorrow as previously announced. A full drawing of numbers from one to between 10000 and 1000 will be made tomorrow instead. More than ten hours will be required to complete the task.
 The error discovered was the fail ure of the local boards involved to shuttle the registration cards from va rious registration precincts before they began placing on them the serial numbers required by the regulations. The result in these sections might have been under the original plan, to take the entire quota of one of these districts from a single registration precinct
 One Drawing Instead Of Two.
 Provost MarshaI-General Crowder issued this statement:
 ''Advices received by long distance telephone this afternoon indicate that in certain areas the boards in num- bering registration cards, have kept the cards segregated by election dis tricts and that serial numbers have been assigned to the whole group for a board while the cards were thus se- Ereated. If the drawing si conducted as originally planned, in groups of one thousand, the result will be that con- siderable proportions of certain cleo tion districts will be brought up for examination together.
 This will result in drafting persons from one locality within the jurisdic- tion of a board before any person is drawn from another locality within the same jurisdiction.
 For this reason, 1t has been decid- cd to abandon the drawing by thOus- ands and to draw 10,500 numbers which Is in excess of the highest num- Der of cards under the jurisdiction of any board
 The only change in the plan will be that there will be one drawing instead of two
 The advantage vii lbe greater sim p1icity. The disa dvantage will be that the drawing will require ten hours to complete"
 Errors in Other States.
 The New Jersey officer promptly communicated his discovery to the of fcers of the provost marshaI-@eneral. A hasty conference was called behind locked doors and quick search made in the local board records of many states which have been received here. 4 similar situation was found to exist in many parts of the country. Tn some lists colored and white regis ttants had been classified in separate groups and the serial numbers ran ac-

New York, July 19.-Schools in caves. with pupils and teachers wearing gas masks are extremes to which war ridden France has gone to ensure for every child that heritage in which alone is the prophecy of an enduring natlon, says an official report to the regents of the University of the State of New York by John Finley presf- dent of the University of the State of New York, and state commissioner of education, who recently returned from an educational mission In France during which he studied the effect of the war on the French school system.
 While France has restricted the use Of food, fuel and light; has discourag- ed travel; has mobilized every able bodied men for defense she has not for a moment forgotten her future defense. said President Finley Women by thousands have taken the places of men teachers called to the front many of whom, finally inca pa citated for bat tie by wounds, have again returned to teach.
 President Finley especially sought the advice of France in meeting like conditions here. The advice summed up, is, he said.
 Do not let the needs of the hour however heavily they fall upon the men and women of the day, permit ne- glect of the defenses of tomorrow. Sac rice everything to bequeath the spirit that has made the institutions which we would preserve and enlarge in our children"
 President Finley urged that the United States take time to prepare against such exhaustion of our tech nical skill and professional equipment as would deprive those who must face mans scientific savagery of mans highest ministry"
 While in France, President Finley took steps to bring about closer CO., operation between the universities of that country and the United States. Two movements towards this end are now under way, one of which would es- tablish American fellowships in French
 universities and the other provides a place where French and American students in Paris can come into closer social relations.

SIXTEEN SUFFRAGETTES
 PARDONED BY PRESIDENT
Protested Only Against the Trials
 During Detention.

Washing gton, July 19.-SiXteen wo- ment sent to the workhouse for their part in the tumultous suffragist dem onstration last Saturday at the White House accepted pA'dons from Pres1- dent Wilson today and were released after serving two days of their six ty day term.
 The prisoners left the workhouse apparently without very much re- gret despite their previous declara- tions that they desired to serve out their time without appeal or elem ency. These assertions had led to an announcement by the department of justice pointing out that a pardon need not be accepted unless the pris- oners desire it. When the time for departure came, however. the women s only protest was against the trials they underwent during their deten- tion.
 At headquarters of the Woman's Party the sixteen were received as martyrs and at a dinner given there in their honor plans were made for continuing the White House picketing of which Saturdays demonstration was a part. defiant statement is sued at the headquarters said the campaign to impress President Will son and the country by parading be- fore the White House gates would go on without change
 The president acted after the hus- bands of several of the prisoners had interceded in their favor and after he had been told that some of them had small children at home needing their care. Some of Mir. Wilson's friends declared this element undoubtedly had been the determining influence with i'm. Others suggested that he act i'd in the hope that pardons would minimize publicity, an avowed part of the women's campaigning. The suffra gists insisted he had become convinced that the country was arous- ed over the workhouse sentences.
 Every party to the incident, how ever, was left to it's own speculations on the subject. Secretary Tumulty said issuance of the pardors would have to speak for itself and all other officials in a position to know the pres ident's thoughts on the subject were silent.
 "The presidents action in no way affects the general suffrage situation" said the Womans party statement.
 "Picketing will be resumed very soon and with the utmost vigor."
 No date has been set for the next demonstration but it probably will be Saturday.
