CALL FOR 100000
Another Draft Order Sent Out
by General CrOwder.
Kansas to Send 5000 to Fun
stOn, 1000 to Cody.
MOBILIZATION JUNE 24-28.
Total COnscripted Amounts to
1,595,7O4 Men.
Glass 1 Will Be Exhausted In
q Short Time.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Orders went
from the office of Provost Marshal
General Crowder last night to the gov
ernors of all states except Arizona for
the mobilization between June "a and
% of 200, 600 more registrants. This
was in addition to 10000 negro men
reuuisitioned Wednesday from twenty
states and brings the total number of
elective service men called to the col
ors to 1,595,7O4, and when they are in
camp the Nations army will number
more than two million men.
The Kansas quota is 5000 men for
Camp Funston and 1000 to Camp
Cody.
The registration Wednesday appar-
emily was ate lded by the perfect Or
der that marked the enrolling a year
ago of 10 million men, who form the
great reservoir uro which the nation
is drawing to furnish the balance of
power on the Western front.
While an act of congress requires
that the new registrants be placed at
the bottom of the class to which they
are assigned. many of them may soon
be called to the colors as the latest
requisition upon governors probably
will exhaust the first class in some
states. While no formal explanation
was made, this was believed to have
been the reason why Arizona was not
included in the call.
May Register Every Three Months.

PENALIzED FOR PROFITEERING
Bakers Supply Firm Permitted" to
Give $4,000 to Red Cross.

New York, June 6.-Jaburg Broth
ers. dealers in bakers supplies, with
nearly 5000 customers thruout the
country, will contribute" 100000 to
the American Red Cross as a penalty
for violation of the food administra-
TONS regulations, it was announced
here tonight by the federal food board
The complaint was entered against the
concern last January, when it was al
legged it was selling sugar at the rate
of 1000 barrels a month and realizing
more than the 25 cents per 100
pounds allowed by the food regula-
lions. The firm pleaded ignorance of
the law in it's application to bakers
and declared that even at the prices
charged it had realized little profit
from its sugar transactions.
The board could have revoked it's
sugar license, but that penalty, the
board decided, would work hardships
to the bakers who buy sugar from the
firm.

CREEK INDIANS RESIST DRAFT
Hun Plot Seen in Trouble Near Scene
OF Crazy Snake Revolt.

Henryetta, Ok, June 6.-Federal
and state officials of Okmulgee county
today were prepared for possible trou-
BILE as a result of a reported movement
by Creek Indians in the Old Hickory
stamping grounds district near here,
to offer armed resistance to the draft.
Word was anxiously awaited from
party of state officers and members
of the Henryetta home guard, who late
last night arrived at the stamping
ground where 200 armed Indians are
said to be camped. According to in
formation here many shots were heard
soon after the party reached the scene
and those in charge of the expedition
were described as expecting trouble
when efforts were made today to ar
rest leaders of the movement.
The Old Hickory stamping grounds,
which was the scene of the Crazy
Snake uprising ten years ago. Is in a
most isolated locality. For some time
the authorities says there have been
reports that enemy agents were seek
ing to incite the Indians against the
draft
The present movement as far as can
be determined was instigated by a
Creek woman who recently returned
from Washington, where she met per-
sons suspected of pro-Germanism. Ac-
cording to the authorities she has been
making speeches to the Creeks, telling
them their young men need not obey
the draft summons.

With the American Army in France,
June 6.-An American lieutenant and
another pilot engaged a German BIZ
plane over the lines northwest of Toul
this morning and forced the enemy
plane down inside it's own lines after
hot fight. After the two American
pilots left the scene of the landing,
Several hundred of the enemy, men
and officers, gathered around where
the machine had settled down and
the American artillery dropped many
shells on the spot, wrecking the ma
chine and inflicting some casualties.
The air battle started at an alti-
tude of 5000 meters, the American
pilots attacking first from under the
tail. When one of the Americans got
on top, the German observer cut
loose with stream of bullets, two of
which penetrated the tail and a third
entered the fusilage and exploded.
The pieces spattered in all directions
but the American airmen continued
fighting and forced the boche to the
earth. That the bullet was of the
explosive type is said to be absolutely
certain.
Five other air battles were fought
but without results.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces wNI last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather.

TO GIVE HUNS ENOUGH OF WAR
Prussians Who Sought Conflict, Says
Lansing, Will Sicken OF 1t.

New York. June 6.-Suggestions of
peace based on "perpetuation of
Prussianism" and criticisms of the
government and the conduct of the
war which are not constructive"
were condemned by Secretary of State
Lansing here yesterday.
Prussia having ''wickedly sought
war;" the secretary said, it is the de-
termination of the American people
that Prussia shall have war and
more war and more war. until the very
thought of war is abhorrent to the
Prussian mind"
Mr.. Lansing spoke at the COM
mencement exercises of Columbia uni
versity, which conferred upon him
and upon Lord Reading, the British
ambassador. the honorary degree of
doctor of laws.
''In the gigantic task of waging the
war; Secretary Lansing said, "let US
not continually look behind to see
where we stumbled. but let us look
forward SO that we do not stumble
again."

becoming 81 years of age probably will
be fixed every three months. 1t is
estimated that 100000 men become
of age yearly and the new registrants
are expected to go far toward keeping
up the first class in each state, from
which thus far most all men for the
national army have been drawn.
Assignments for the men called to
the colors under this order indicate
the rapidity with which troops now
are moving overseas. In nearly every
instance the registrants under this
requisition are assigned to national
army cantonments, whereas recently
when calls were made, it was neces-
sary to send the men to national
guard, regular army and other camps,
because the cantonments were filled.
