BOARDS TO EXPLAIN
STATUS in DRAFT
Lists of Numbers to be
Posted as Received
from Washington
NO CALLS FOR THE.
IMMEDIATE PRESENT

Men who registered September II for
the draft and are interested In ascer-
taining their order numbers will get
their information from the lists which
VIII be posted at their local draft
boards as soon as they are received
from Washington. Owing TO the COM
plicated procedure Of determining a
mans order number and the fact that
the answers in questionnaires, and not
the order number itself, determine OF
a large extent the order in which the
men will be called. the newspapers
viii not undertake to publish the or
der numbers for this draft.
Draft boards are beginning TO receive
lists OF order numbers drawn on Mon
day in Washington and within a few
days all boards viii have a fist posted
at their headquarters.
Although there are more than 1900
numbers. most OF the Wilmington
boards have only about 1900 The
numbers establish the order in which
men registered September l2 who fan
into Glass IA will be called into ser
vice.
Only those who expect to be called
soon into the army will be interested
in learning their order numbers, and
knowing them win not have much sig
nificance, even to these men. as they
VIII have no way Of knowing how many
men who viii be given deferred classi-
fication have order numbers ahead Of
them.
In many districts men viii be drawn
who have numbers well toward the
md, as scores OF men OF deferred clas-
slncation drew numbers earlier in the
list. Men above &c years OF age and
below 10 are not being called now, 50
they need feel no concern over learn
ing their order numbers for reasons
other than curiosity.
Registrars who are subject 10 call
need no so TO local draft boards to
learn their numbers II they do not
wish TO, as they will receive notice
soon from their boards. owing to post
ponement OF the physical examinations
It is not likely any men VIII be called
until physical examinations are begun
again.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bltro-Phosphatc TO Put
vn Firm. Healthy Flesh and to
Increase Strength, yigor and
Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually being
advertised for the purpose OF making thin
people deshy, developing arms, neck and
bust, and replacing ugly hollOws and
angles by the soft curved lines OF health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
70 starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as phosphate, which Is mex
penslve and Is sold by n. h. Danforth'
and all druggists under guarantee Of
satisfaction or money back BY feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying the
body cells with the necessary phOsphOric
food elements. hitro-phosphate quickly pro-
duces a welcome transformation In the ap-
pearance; the iucreasc IN weight fre-
Quently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
health. Nervousness. sleeplessness and
lack OF energy. which nearly always ac-
company excessive thinness soon disap-
pear. dull eyes become bright, and pale
cheeks glow with the bloom OF perfect
health.
CAUTION Although bitro-phosphate Is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. Il
should not. owing to its remarkable aesh-
growing properties. be used by anyone
who does not desire 10 put on flesh.

Prussian Professor Throws
Out New Hint of After

LONDON. Oct. 4.-Germany is trying
again TO flirt with Japan.
This time it IS Prussian college
man, Professor Otto Hoeizsch. who Is
used TO send out the proposal aimed
TO wean the Far Eastern ally from the
world alliance.
This attempt Is regarded by allied
diplomats as grasping at less than
straws."
II would be nothing less than breach
Of faith to consider that Japan would
listen 90 any proposal from Germany,
say the allied diplomats.
Japan showed Germany where she
stood when Zimmerman sent his plot
note to Mexico proposing an alliance
Of Germany, Japan and Mexico against
the United states
But on his last legs, the Prussian
again faces eastward and smiles.
Professor Hoeizsch Is one OF the most
influential prussian writer's In his

tion IN the Kreuz Zeitung he describes
the grip Germany has on her allies
as an "exiension Of power and con-
tinues.

tentiOn at an early date. (The profess

Japan as FOR us.
after the war Japan Will need Ger
many. That is why the entente desires
to hold Japan fast by means Of inter-
vention IN the Far East
III our specuiations about German
japanese community are TO have any
solid ground. we must adopt definite
attitude with regard TO what lies be-
tween US and Japan on the map. The
continental consolidation in central and
southeastern Europe and the agree
ment with Japan are possible only by
means Of agreement with Slavdom.
This whole idea is the only thing that
we can set up with political success

 During the morning the rain ceased.
 "These troops completed the cap ture of both villages and have made progress beyond them.
 Scots Make Gains.
 Meanwhile, north of the Scarpe, Scottish troops, advancing once more over the ground on which they fought in 1917, carried the German first de- fensive system south of Gavrelle, reaching the outskirts of RoeuX. The chemical works north of Roeux are again in our possession.
 ':On the right of the Canadians, the Scottish and London troops who, dur ing the proceeding days had fought their way forward toward Croissiles and Heninel, continued their attacks.
 Resistance Not Effective.
 "Altho they met with vigorous re- sistance from yarties of German in- fantry and machine gunners they have made substantial progress and have completed the capture of the high ground between Croisilles and Heninel.
 In this new sector of attack many prisoners have been taken by us dur ing the day.
 Advance on the SOmme.
 "On the southern portion of the battle front our advance has contin- ued on both sides of the Somme.
 Australian troops have taken Cap. py and have made progress east of the village. North of the Somme they have entered Suzanne.
 Further north English trops have pushed forward in the direction of Montauban and Welsh htroops have captured Bazentin Le Grand. On the remainder of the battle front fighting has taken place at a number of points.
 Pressure Maintained.

 An agreement for passage of legis- lation to stop sales of all intoxicatine 9 beverages on that date, leaders of both wet and dry factions stated in the senate tonight, to be in sight.

 The war time prohibition bill pend- ing in the senate came up for consid- eratfon today under the unanimous consent. agreement made several weeks ago giving it right of way un- til disposed of, but was temporarily displaced while the senate proceeded with the manpower bill

 Determined British

 Steps toward Bringing about an agreement between the committe and the treasury were considered at con- ference today between chairman Kit chin and Secretary McAdoo.
 Another conference will be held to- morrow. Because of the temporary disagreement, Mr. Kitchin tonight in- dicated that the committee might not be able to report the bill to the house before Friday instead of Thursday as had been planned.
 Coincident with negotiations start ed in the senate between prohibition and anti-prohibition leaders to post pone and effective date of the war time national prohibition measure to be taken up soon, provisions of the revenue bill dealing with taxes on in- tOxicating liquors became known. The session of the committee to- day was marked by an attempt of Representative Moore. Republican, of Pennsylvania, to attach to the bill an amendment authorizing the appoint ment of joint congressional com mittee to cooperate with the president in eliminating waste and extravigance in the conduct of the war.
 The plan. which would have author ized joint committee of six mem bers of the senate and seven members of the house to confer with the presi-
