that Russia rejects any idea OF a

In the total registration of 9,649,938
are included COOL Indians, reported by
the Department Of the Interior.
On the whole, Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder considers the registra-
ton 100 per cent, as Including the
eligibles already in the federal serv-
ice the figures would be within a few
thousand of the census estimate Of
10,29S, 104.
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. 1 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 1t 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 seleo-
ton for each state-so each state may
be called upon for its quota and n
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
telegraphed from Washington to the
governors of the various states. They
will notify the adjutant general, who
holds the corresponding numbered
cards, and the adjutant general Will
notify the local boards under whose
jurisdiction the selected men are.
The onus of determining whether
or not he has been drawn lies with
the man himself. Plentiful provisions
have been made for letting each man
know whether or not he has been
drawn. Four copies Of the registra-
ton list and the number he bears are
to be made public, n being placed
at the office of the local board and
another being made available for the
press.
When a man learns he has been
| drawn, he is privileged to appear be-
fore the exemption board of his dis
trict and plead his ase for exemption.
IL he considers he has one. There also
will be a board Of appeal for each
judicial district.
An investigation has been ordered
to determine the al for the small
registration on the Pacific coast,
where barely more than so per cent OF
the estimated figures showed in the
registration.
II finally forced to serve, the man
will be acquainted by presidential
proclamation of the date he must re-
port for service and will be told where
to report by the local board. This
date has been definitely set for Sept.

DR.. Burnett in his address stated
that the outgrowth of the war has
been a greater willingness among
people to sacrifice their own pleas
ures for the joy OF giving to others.
He explained why this season must
be observed with a greater degree
of conservation and why we must
give more generously and unselfsh-
~ than ever before.
Many interesting incidents of the
trenches during the past two holiday
seasons were told by the speaker,
who described how the soldiers pro-
vided their own Christmas cheer
with festal celebrations. Nearly all
Of them were remembered by friends
and relatives with appropriate and
useful gifts.

next Monday and placed the respon-
sibiliIy of the north side with the
