Tobacco Ration For Army.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The
Secretary of War may decide to
make tobacco a part of the Of
fetal ration of the army. He
has declared that if IS per cent
of the men in the ranks want to-
bacco, he will direct that this be
included in the ration and that
it be supplied and paid for by
the Government instead of by
the men or their friends.
This assurance has been given
to Representative Kicheloe, of
Kentucky, who represents a to-
bacco-growing district. 1t is of
equal interest, however, to Vir-
ginia, Maryland, North Caro-
lima and other States which pro-
duce great quantities of this
product.
Secretary Baker did not indi-
cate how he would proceed in de-
termitiing if the necessary 75'per
cent Of ahis men wish tobacco.
He probably will find some means
of taking poll, however.

tary sparring, during which the pro-
hibitory proposals were thrown out re-
peatedly on points of order, the Prohl
bition element got the upper hand
and forced adoption of amendments
which would forbid the use of any
foodstuffs during the war for making
intoxicants and would give the Presi-

discretion, all stocks of distilled

the measure to conference by July /.
Few important changes were made by
the House outside the prohibition sec

The control powers of the Presi-

giving him blanket authority; volun-

subject to the penal provision; all

In the total registration of 9,649,93S

the Department of the Interior.
On the whole, Provost Marshal Gen

ton 100 per cent, as including the

ice the figures would be within a few
thousand of the census estimate Of

Throughout the country the local
boards organized to carry out the pro-
visions of the selective service act as
instructed by the President. There
are approximately 1000 of these
boards, each of three members. They
were appointed by the President,
largely on the recommendation of the
state authorities.
The boards are expected to have
every registrant numbered. as the
drafting will be done by number in
stead of by name. The local boards
will number the men registered there
and send the numbered cards to the
adjutant general Of the state in which
they are located.
Each states numerals will be from
No. / upward. Numbers to correspond
with the numbers in the states will be
located in the provost marshal gen
erals office in Washington. When the
selection begins-and It is expected
to begin not later than the second
week of July the numbers will be
drawn from a jury wheel in Washing
ton. There will be a separate selec-
ton for each state-so each state may
be called upon for its quota and one
state may not be forced to supply
more men proportionately than an
other. President Wilson will proclaim
the number of men each state must
supply. The President also will set
a day for the selection.
The numbers drawn then will be
t%elegraphed from Washington to the
governors of the various states. They
will notify the adjutant general, who
holds the corresponding numbered
cards, and the ad%jutant general Will
