are as they were hitherto, chiefly of
an offensive character, and are now
prepared for every eventuality.
The recent events in Russia, which

Prefer To Open at Noon and
Close Up Later.
GET MANY EMERGENCY CALLS
Prescriptions Filled After
O'clock Are Numerous.
No Effort viii Be Made, How
ever, To Resist.

In the matter of the o'clock clos
ing of the drug stores of the city, the
druggists seem to be about evenly di-
vided on the question as to whether it
will be dangerous for the community
to have no place open where medi-
cineS and drugs can be obtained in
emergencies. Some of the druggists
said this morning that the night bust
ness in medicines was not sufficient to
warrant the stores in keeping open,
Will others said that the prescrip-
tions filled after o'clock in the even
ing made up a fair percentage of the
days drug business
The majority of the druggists in
terviewed seemed to think that it
would be better If the drug stores were
allowed to open at noon or there
about and stay open until late at
night, instead of opening at O'Clock
in the morning and closing at I
o'clock None of the druggists. how
ever, showed any intention or fnclina-
order except that it was felt that the
drug stores were as important to the
welfare OF the community at large as
the pool halls that are allowed to stay
open until 10 O'Clock at night
Many Emers rncy Calls.
One druggist said this morning that
hardly night passes without one or

Most of the prominent physicians
and surgeons of the city were of the
opinion that in cases of sudden
emergency it would be possible to OBJ
tain the necessary aids in the same
way that emergency toxins and anti
toxins have been secured in the past
after midnight, that is get the drug
gist out of bed and take him to his

the opinion that arrangements could

Washington, April IA Another draft call for 49,843 registrants has been sent to governors of states by Provost Marshal General Crowder Mobilization of the men is ordered for May 1 and 10, the War Depart ment announced tonight, and they will be sent to II forts and recruiting bar racks, probably for training with regular army units there.
 This call increases to more than 300,000 the number of selected men ordered to camp since late in March. This is far in excess of the monthly average that would have been mobil- ized under the original plan to call 800,e00 men this year over a nine month period Future calls at the same rate would complete the pro- gram before midsummer. Under Pres ident Wilson's determination to rast- en the dispatch of American troops to France to reinforce tre British and French armies bearing tre brunt of the great German drives in Flanders and Picardy, the wrole program of the army is speeded up. Only week ago General Crowder ordered mobili- zation of 15000O select men for April 26, and their movement to tre National Army cantonments during the five days following.
