MINNESOTA STRIKES
MINE; NO LIVES LOST
Battleship Damaged Of Delaware
Proceeds Under Own Power.

The U. s. battleship Minnesota
struck a mine off Delaware Break
water early this morning.
This announcement was made by
the Navy Department this evening.
There were no lives lost, accord
ing to the reports received by the
Department, and the Minnesota is
proceeding to port under her own
pN-'..
The Minnesota. built In 1907, Is a
battleship of the third class She was
placed in the second line in 1916 With
a displacement Of only 1000 tons, she
is not half as large as the modern
super-Dreadnoughts. She is $50 feet
long, with a beam of 76 feet, and car
ries four 12-inch guns. eight S-inch,
twelve finch and four torpedo tubes.
She has a complement of seventy-ive
officers and about a thousand men.
Officials of the Navy Department
are convinced that the Minnesota was
not hit by a German torpedo, but
struck a mine left by a German sub
marine. The last U-boat is known to
have left American coastal waters
about August 2. This submarine and
its predecessors strewed mines in con-
siderable quantity, 1t Is believed.
The search for them is going on all
the time and the menace consequently
lessening.

Be Drawn Out.

their numbers inside the huge glass
bowl from Independence Hall which
Is to contain them. the assignments
of officers and soldiers who are to
keep the tally OF the drawing in re-
lays through its twenty-six hours
all is ready.
But late last night Washington
did not know officially who is to
draw the first number. There are
those who believe that President
Wilson will. But this is doubtful.
At the White House II was said yes
terday that no arrangements had
been made for the President to be
present. Gen. Crowder is silent on
the matter.
Acting Secretary OF War CroweIl
who will probably be the one to
pick the first capsule, said it was
Gen. Crowder's party. and that the
general ought to be allowed to
make his own announcements in his
own time. Mr.. Crowell has made
arrangements to be present at the
drawing, however, and as Secretary
of War Baker drew the first CAPSULE
IN the first big lottery, the dope
seems to favor his representative,
Mr.. Crowell. this time.
New Rules Have Gone Out.
Regulations covering the drawing,
written by Col. Warren, senior officer
in the office of the Provost Marshal
General. have been sent all the local

whose serial numbers are duplicated

Serial numbers have not been as
signed any registrants since Septem-
Der q and 1t will be necessary to
make such assignments after the

a list of those whose cards have been
received since September q and send
them to the adjutant generals office
of the state. Then the order of their
assignment shall be determined by lot
among such unassigned names from
