DRAF I LOTTERY
 DATE NUT F|XED. DEFINITELY YET.
Drawing to Determine Order
 of Calling Thirteen Million
 New Registrants Will Probably Be Held Soon
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Sept 24.-The na- tional lottery, which in a measure will determine the order of the calling of the 13,0O0,000 men between IS and 45 years of age who registered September F, probably will not be held before next week. Officials had hoped to fix a date late this week. but this plan is understood to have been abandoned in order that additional time may De givA en local boards to correct any errors made in assigning serial numbers to the registrants.
 Younger Men Called Finst.
 Since men between 19 and 36 are to be the first called to the colors, the drafting will have less effect upon d,- termining the order of the call than did that for the nearly one million men who turned Fl before last June ,. Or der numbers for all the 100000 men will be drawn. but youths of Is and men between 36 and 45 will not be classified until the boards have given classification to all the men between 19 and 36 who are the first to receive their questiOnaires. In the meantime many of the 19 to 36 classes will have been inducted into the service.
 For Guidance of Registrants.
 Distribution of a manual for the guidance of legal advisory boards throughout the country in assisting registrants to fill out their question naires was begun today by the office of the provost marshal general. At tendance of at least one member of the advisory board during all sittings of the local boards arc urged
 The obligation resting upon the reg istrant to sec that he receives his questionnaire in time to make returns within the specified seven days is oiG- phaSized ill the manual which points out that the registrant can guard against delay by consulting the daily record of questionnaires mailed out at the office of the local board.
 In conclusion tine manual says that not only those on the local advisory boards. but all lawyers should deem 1t privilege and a patriotic duty to stand ready and willing to advise reg istrants without compensation"

 BlSBEE, Ariz, Sept. 24-Re- turning to Naco, Ariz., late today, after having searcred fruitIessIy for more than 24 hours for trace of Frank Wilson, and four Mexi- can companions with whom he es- capped from the Cochise county jail, Sunday night, Sheriff Guy C. Welch and his posse admit them selves baffIed, temporarily.
 Sheriff WeIch and his deputies after arriving yesterday at the point south of the border where Wilson and his companions left Louis kuchenbecker and ]. S. Chambers, of Tombstone, who had been made to transport them across the international boundary began to search for the trail of the fugitiVes.
 The plains for many miles was covered with high grass clear to the foot of the high Cananea mountain range, and though the sherlff and hls men, with Mexican rurales made a circle of more than twenty miles, trying at intervals to "cut" the trail, it could not be found. lt is the theory of the of ficers that the five men separated and began making their way southward.
 Late today it was reported that two strange men had entered Can anea and were being watched. Sheriff Weleh and other American officers will leave for Cansnea early tomorrow, armed with pho tographs and descriptions, which will be placed in the hands of Mexican officials who will aid in the search.
 A reward of S100 has been of fered for Wilson and fifty dollars for each of his Mexican com panions.

 Entente Armies Press Forward

All along the 100 mile front in Mace donia from the region north of Monas- tir to Lake Dorran the entire entente armies have pressed further forward against the demoralized Bulgar.an3 and Germans whose endorsements have not been able to stiffen the line | for a face about.
 North of Monastir the important strategic position of Prilep has been oc cupied, thus giving control of the num- erous roads radiating from it to the French cavalry; in the center the Ser bians have pushed their wedge further in between the enemys western and eastern armies. while on the extreme eastern flank the British and Greeks have advanced along both sides of the Vardar to q depth averaging about ten miles over a front of 20 miles.
 Nowhere are the entente command CTS permitting the Bulgarians and Ger mans to lose contact with tue adviinc- ing troops, who are harrasSing them vigorously.
 Dire Calamity Faces Enemy
 So badly has the 100 mile line been penetrated or battered that immediate dir calamity seemingly faces the en- emy unless the enemy is fleet enough on foot to distance the allies on the wings of the drive and reconstitute his front to the north, with it's center resting possibly on Uskub or there abouts. Even if such maneuvcr is possible doubtless it will be necessary for the enemy to straighten his line westward through Albania to the 1.d- riatic sea.
 Important Towns Taken
 That the allied Hanks are moving swiftly to prevent the separated armies from joining up is indicated in the capture of Prilep and the advance of the British to the north of Lake Doiran These maneuvers point to an attempt at rolling up movements of grea: pro portions by the allies.
 In Palestine the British on the coast have taken tho important towns 0; Paifa Acre, while east of the JorGar the Turks are everywhere in retreat hard pressed by the British ard the tribesmen of the king of the Hed5as
 Twenty Thousand Prisoners
 Inside the big sack, the neck O. which was sewn up by the British ir their initial drive, many more prison CTS have been taken and the aggregate now greatly exceeds the 25,000 official ly reported.
 To the west of St. Quentin over { front of four miles running south from the Omignon river the British havt materially advanced their front, not Wthstanding the desperate resistance of the enemy and taken about S0 prisoners. Hard fighting is in pro gress at Selency, a scant two mile from the western outskirts of St Quentin. Around Epehy and furthe north in the Cambrai sector the Brit ish positions in front of the Hinden burg line have been bettered. II Flanders the British have recaptured ; portion of their old trench svster south of Ypres.
 Germans Fearful of Attack
 That the Germans. even though tn weather conditions preclude infantr activity are fearful that the American anticipate further attack is indi cated by their almost continuous bonn bardment of the American position with heavy guns along the Lorrain front.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The gov ernment is about to adopt measures to enforce stability of wages during :ha war Plans under discussion between representatives of manufacturer and labor and officials of the war and navy departments charged with letting enor- nous contracts it was learned today. provide for nation-wid system of community or industry agreements .n- which both employers and employees will participate and which will he en- forced for the agreement period through government priorities power or labor employment pressure.
 This plan has received tentative ap- proval of representatives of manufac- turers and labor and will be discussed further tomorrow with a delegation from the national industrial conference board.
 May Form New Committee
 It became known today that num- Der of government agencies dealing with labor problems-the war and navy departments, shipping board. railroaI administration, labor department labor adjustment board, war labor policies board and others-probablv will be CO., ordlnated in a new committee of rep resentatives from each. One of tle principal reasons for this action is 10 facilitate the enforcement of the gov ernment's wage stabilizing policy
 Pay Only Standard Scale
 For their part, manufacturers will be called upon to pay no more and no less than the standard scale and work men will be asked to abide by the scale without threats of strike or other labor disturbances. If manufacturers refuse to pay standard wages or pay moro and thereby unsettle the community conditions. they might find their SUD- plies of fuel and materials cut off through priorities orders. If labor or ganizations violate the agreement their members would be barred from seeking work through employment agencies, all of which now are government con- trolled.
 The proposed plan is an amplifica- tion of that adopted recently by the war and navy departments in settling threatened strikes of machinists in New York, Buffalo and Rochester.
