DRAFT BOARDS
OSPEED TASK
Local Bodies Hope to Hold
Record Of Making
First Returns.

Local draft boards are today pre-
pairing the plans which will enable
them to be the first to complete their
reports on the September u regis
tration and send them TO the office
of the provost marshal general
In the last registration Washington
was the first large city in the coun-
try to file its report with the War
Department. and local draft officials
are determined not to let any other
city beat them in this registration.
All of the eleven boards will send
their cards to the District Building
Immediately they finish their work
and the cards will be gone over by a
summarizing committee under Alonzo
Tweedale. auditor for the District
Four Lists Required.
Each board must prepare four lists,
which will be sent to the District
Building with the cards. These lists
will show the citizenship. the race
and the age OF all men who regIter.
Gen. Crowder expects to have the
lists showing the serial numbers on
the registration cards of all regis
trants in his office by the Saturday
after registration. In the last reg
istration it took the boards over q
month to have these lists completed
and sent to the general
After registration day the first
work of the local boards will be to
distribute the questionnaires. They
will contain the serial numbers only
and not the order numbers. An
order from Gen. Crowder provides
that these questionnaires must reach
the registrant as soon as possible
after the day set for registration.
The questionnaires must be re-
turned to the board by the regis
trant within seven days. exclusive
Of Sundays and holidays. 1t has
been found that this is time enough
for all cases and more than is need
ed in most, but some men have
greater difficulty in finding the re-
quired data than others and there
fore this long period is given.

FOREIGN BORN NURSES
BECOME NATURALIZED
Fourteen Women from Walter Reed
Admitted to Citizenship.

Fourteen foreign-born young wom-
en- who have volunteered for over
seas duty as army nurses were ad-
mitted to citizenship yesterday by
Justice Gould, of the District su-
preme Court For some time they
have been studying at Walter Reed
Hospital and are understood to have
received orders to sail. Before do
ing so it was necessary for them
to become naturalized.
Justice Gould complimented them
highly for their loyalty and praised
their devotion to duty. 1t is thought
these young women are the first in
the history of the United States to
be thus admitted to citizenship.
Foreign-born soldiers to the num-
Der Of 255 were made American citi-
zens yesterday by Justice Gould. OF
this number 12o came on horseback
from Fort Myer to the courthouse,

In addition to replan'ipg every
inch Of space that has furnished an

bear in mind as important now.
One is to keep the garden f7ce OF
dead vegetable tops-pea vines,
beans, bushes or vines, and all of the
things that have finished fruiting.
And the other is TO pick everything

Green corn. however, Is the one

What Your Bond Will Do.

II you buy a 800 bond of the Fourth
Liberty Loan. you are lending the
United States government enough
money to feed soldier in France a
little more than seven months. Or
you have furnished enough money to
give him a complete outfit of winter

and stockings, and slicker and over
coat and blankets, with enough left
over to arm him with a good revolver.
You have done that much to beat back
the Hun.
1t takes s35 more to arm him with a
rifle and a bayonet, and IL you buy a

patriotic measure.
Continuing, he says: The con-
servation of gasoline is vital to the
successful prosecution of the war,
and l appeal to the people of Vir-
ginia to make next Sunday and
each succeeding Sunday. so long as
the present order may be necessary,
notable for the ready response TO
the spirit and intention of this re-
quest OF the National Fuel Admin

appeal and use their cars for pleas

LIQUOR IS GIVEN
TWO FATAL BLOWS
BEER MAKING PROHIBITED AS
WAR MEASURE ORDERED BY
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR.
Statement Says Action Will Relieve
Strain on Fuel, Labor and Railroad
FaciIities-National Prohibition Is
Adopted, Effective July l., 1919.

Washington.-Manu of beer
in the United States will be prohibit
ed after December l next, as a war
measure. This announcement was
made by the Food Administration,
which said the decision had been
reached at conferences between Presi-
dent Wilson and representatives of
the Fuel, Food and Railroad Admins
trations and the War Industries Board.
The text of the statement issued by the
Food Administration follows:
"On July 3 brewers were notified by
the Fuel Administration that their coal
consumption would be reduced by 5O
per cent, pending the period OF eXhaus-
ton of materials that they had in
process, and were given preliminary
warning that they might not be able
TO continue their operations at all after
such exhaustion.
Sat that time the Food Administra-
ton directed the cessation of further
purchases of raw materials for malt
ing. After conference between the
President and representatives of the
Fuel, Food and Railroad Administra-
lions. and the War Industries Board,
it has been determined that the further
necessity of war industries for the
whole fuel productive capacity of the
country, the considerable drought
which has materially affected the sup
ply of feeding-stuff for next year, the
strain upon transportation to handle
necessary industries, the shortage OF
labor, caused by enlargement of the
army operations, renders it necessary
that brewing operations of all kinds
should cease upon December l until
further orders, and that no further I'M
matted grain be purchased for brew
ing purposes from this date. The
Food Administration has been direct
eG to issue the necessary regulations
to this end
'Tn addition to the above these Ad-
ministrations wish to warn the manu-
facturers of all beverages and mineral
waters that for the same reasons there
will be further curtailment in fuel for
the manufacture of glass containers,
of tin plate, for caps, of transporta-
ton, and of food products in such bey-
erages."

Paris.-The allied advance contin-
ues along the entire front in the oil
rection of Cambria, st. Quentin, La
Fere, Anizy-le-Chateau and the Chem
in-des-D Danes. According to the latest
advices the French and British troops
nevertheless are meeting with stub
born resistance, in which intense artil-
lery activity is being carried out.
This resistance is taken as an indica-
ton that the enemy intends to make a
stand along this line, which roughly
follows the old Hindenburg entrench-
mentS.
General Humbert'S army still cOntln-
ues it's pressure against Tergnier and
Lii Fere The operations toward the
enlightenment of the st. Gobain forest
are giving the allies strong position.

In this region his defense of the Chem

onne will fall" says Marcel Hutin, ed
itor of the Echo de Paris.

of General Humbert, advancing on the

retain his grasp on the line.
HavrincOurt Wood has been cleared
almost entirely of the enemy rear
guards, who offered strong resistance
with machine guns at several places.
Heavy storms have been sweeping
the entire battle area and have tended
to slow up the operations. A small
local c0unter-attack in the Nieppe sec
TOR caused the British to Withdraw
slightly Aside from considerable ar
tj!lerv action the front generally was
uuirter than for many weeks.
The official statement on aerial oper-
atoms over the battle front says:
"Clouds and "ainstorms limited work
in the air, but q good deal OF artillery
observation was carried out, as well
as "Reminiscences and contact patrols.
Eight hostile machines and one
balloon were destroyed by our airmen.
Three of our machines are missing.
Thirteen tons of bombs were dropped
by us during the "a hours. Our night.
