STOCK MARKET

New York, Aug. 7-Stocks opened at normal recessions today but soon extended their reversals on renewed pressure. U. S. Steel reacted a point with Crucible Steel; American Tele- phone and Western Union were low CT by large fractions to point; Gen. eral Motors yielded two points, and Sumatra and American Tobaccos lost one and two points, respectively. Royal Dutch Oil was the only issue to record more than a slight gain, advancing IA points.
 Noon-The market manifested more confusion during the morning, the most conspicuous feature being # point break in General Motors. Other specialties extended their losses, American Tobacco dropping 5 points and Lorillard preferred and common 2 to AZ. Malting preferred was heaviest of the obscure issues, de- clining 21a points. Steels recovered their losses and Baldwin Locomotive was relatively strong, gaining a point. Rails were completely ignored except for the moderate activity and strength of St. Paul issues, especially preferred.

WARNING TO CANDY EATERS.

New York, Aug. 7-Inveterate eat CTS of candy were warned by the Fed eral Food Board yesterday that unless they materially reduce their con- sumption of sweets they would tend to defeat the conservation measures by which the Food Administration is endeaVoring to limit the use of sugar, The board suggested that all persons shall buy only one pound of candy at time and that dealers sell only one pound to a purchaser.
 The Hotel St. Regis, whose baking license was suspended for 30 days, sent the following message to the Food Board yesterday:
 We have no fault to find with the Food Administration for deciding that we had more sugar on hand than we | should, nor for the penalty imposed | of suspending our bakers license for a time. The only thing we wish to impress on the pubic mind is that our violation was not willful nor in- tentional. We have cheerfully and | loyally co-operated with the Food Ad- ministration in all other respects SC | far as We understand its rules and regulations. We did make a mistake | in this instance and cheerfully accept
 the penalty of our error hoping that the lesson we have learned will hell | others to avoid similar mistake"

OPPOSES EXCHANGING
 AMERICAN PRISONERS

Amsterdam, Aug. - Discussing the proposed exchange of American and German war prisoners, the Nachrighten of Hamburg takes it upon itself. to advise the German gov ernment to reject all such overtures on the following grounds:
 First, the Americans would by this agreement enjoy exceptional treat ment which, besides being unfair to the other prisoners, would enormously facilitate recruiting in America; sec ond, assuming that the Americans have taken fewer prisoners than the Germans, it would be natural for the Allies of America to make up the requisite number of prisoners. (which would indirectly enhance Americas s reputed achievements. This" the ar ticle says, should be prevented"
 The newspaper further demands that, ''as a retaliation for Americas disgracefu1 entry into the war, the idea of an exchange should be enter eained only after all other prisoners are released. A further condition to this exchange, it says, should be that the American government release the officials of the Hamburg American Steamship Go. and that "the slander- ous and insulting persecution to which Germans in America are subjected cease forthwith"

RECUL LATIONS REGARDING MAILS
 TO U, s, ExPEDITIONARY FORCES

(e) Order No. 1259 on which these instructions are based was issued at the request of the War Department owing to the lack of transportation facilities on ocean steamships as well as on French railways and it is inn practicable to make any exceptions to the order.
 Adjutant Generals Decision.
 CD The office of the Adjutant Gen eraI of the Army has given notice that that office will no longer pass upon requests for articles which have not been approved in the required manner by the military authorities abroad.
 (g) The restrictions of Order No. 1259 governing the mailing of parcels do not apply to parcels sent to officers and men on board United States naval vessels or attached to naval bases when addressed in care of the post master at New York, N. r., and not addressed to the American Expedi- tionary Forces in France. The re- strictions of this order also do not apply to newspapers or magazines addressed to members of the Expe- ditionary Forces and no approved re- quests are required therefor.
 '. (a) An individual export license is not required for the shipment of merchandise sent by individuals by mail 1o rthe personal use of individ- uals serving in the United States Navy or in units of the United States Army and American Red Cross con- nected with the American Expedi- tionary Forces in Europe, such ship ments being covered by General Ex- port License No. R A C-43, issued by the War Trade Board. In such cases all that is necessary is that the sender place the number of this license, to- gether with a. list of the contents, on the outside of each parcel or package, preferably in the upper left corner of the address side of the wrapper below his name and address, which are also required.
 | Cb) Individual postal export licenses are required when merchandise is ad- dressed to persons connected with the | Elxpeditionary Forces who are not serving in the Army or Navy or the American Red Cross, or when mailed by dealers to any persons connected with the Expeditionary Forces, and in such cases postmasters shall in form persons desiring to secure ex- port licenses or information pertain ing thereto that requests therefor should be addressed to the War Trade Board, Washington, D. C., or to any one of it's branches at Boston, Mass. Chicago, H.; Detroit, Mich; Eagle Pass, Tex; Fl Paso, Tex; Galveston, Tex; Laredo, Tex; Los Angeles, Cal. Mobile, Ala; New Orleans, La; New York, N. T.; Nogales, Ariz.; Philadel- phia, Pa.; Portland, Greg; St. Louis Mo-; San Francisco. Cal; Savannah Ga.; and Seattle, Wash.
 Letters written and mailed by sol diers, sailors, and marines assigned to duty in a foreign country engaged in the present war may be mailed free of postage provided they bear ir the upper left corner the name of the soldier sailor, or marine, together with the designation of the service tc which he belongs.

PLAN IS READY FOR NEW DRAFT
Registration Date for IS to 45 Men Probably Between
 September 5 and 15.

Washington, Aug. 7.---Plans for the drawing, of the names of the almost 13, ,000,0OO new registrants which the enactment of the proposed amend ment to the existing law would ne- cessttate already are complete. The Provost Marshal Generals office will adhere to the plan of the original draft, At that time the districtfng of the United States for the draft cre- ated vast number of districts of av- craze population, but one district stood out supreme beyond all others with 10000 prospective reg1strants.
 It is anticipated that in arranging for this even larger draft the largest district will have approximately 12,500 registrants, but no change in the mo- dus operandi will be necessary. Col Charles B. Warren, who devised the scheme used last year, is satisfied that the entire drawing can be com pleted in a single day.
 When the new draft bill receives its final approval not more than nine or ten days of necessity must elapse be- fore the actual registration is held. There has been no arbitrary date fixed and the assumption by the press throughout the country that Septem- Der had been definitely decided upon has embarrassed the Provost Marshal Generals office not a little. It is hoped to fix the registration day be- tween September and 15. Also it will be necessary in fixing a date for registration throughout the Union to avoid any day upon which State or primary elections are held in any State of the Union. For example Maine election on September 10 is an impossible date and likewise there are primary elections in various parts of the United States early in September, all of which must be avoided for the reason that the election machinery of the various States and municipalities is the mechanism upon which the War lDepartment depends.
 The provision in the proposed amendment that "the President may draft such persons liable to military
 service in such sequence of ages and at such time or times as he may pre-
 scribe" 1t was pointed out at the of-
 flee of the Provost Marshal General
 gives the President complete power tc
 exercise his own judgment as to the ages of the men actually to be called , to the coiors.
 ? Nevertheless 1t Is the anticipation
 of the War Department that following
 upon the registration and the new
 draft the President will call first the men between the ages of 22 and 40 to-
 gether with those between 20 and 21 Should this draft increment become
 exhausted in the course Of the wal the extension to the junior and ex. trene senior eIasstfieations, namely } those between IS and 20 and <hose be. tween 10 and 45, would follow,
 . Particularly with regard to the Il 7 and 1s year old resistrants will there lhasan santeeestsn 6eNsaornsut an=4hs

FEAR FOR GERMANS IN INDIAN AMERICA

London, Aug. 7-Letters from rela- tives and friends in Germany of U-boat crews interned in the United States are beginning to arrive in Lon- don. They throw little light on inter- nal conditions in Germany, but some are very amusing as showing the ap- palling ignorance of the mass of Ger mans regarding the United States, One letter from the wife of a prisoner, apparently written in all seriousness, says;
 "We hope you will soon return You are certainly to be sympathized with. We are always praying with our deepest feeling that you may not be eaten up by Indians or hanged by cowboys with lasso ropes. If the1 should wish to scalp you, you should first make appeal to the King ot America. Is he also an Indian?"

LOUISVILLE PAPERS SOLD.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 7-Control of The Louisville Courier-Journal and The Louisville Times, held by W. N. Haldeman and his sons and Henry Watterson since the foundation of the two papers, passed yesterday into the hands of Judge Robert Worth Bing- ham of Louisville. Henry Watterson sends his active connection as editor of The Courier-Journal, but will con- tirue to serve in an advisory ca pacity. W. B. Haldeman, editor of The Times, withdraws from that con- nection. The announcement indicates that no change of editorial policy is contemplated.
 Judge Bingham is well known lawyer, once mayor and later judge The reason given in the announce ment for the transfer of control o1 the two papers is that the advancing age of the formers owners made fl seem desirable.

day the men in these classes approach and move over into the higher classi- fications, so that the continuing in take>Iof men, reaching their eighteenth birthday provides a vast and growing group of men in the junior classifica- tions. Great interest attaches as to the intentions of the President with regard to the men of the three junior years, but from neither the White House nor the War Department has there yet been a. single word escaped with regard to what are the admins trations intentions.
