THOSE IN CLASS ONE
WILL Be CALLED EARLY
The Same System Will Be Followed
AS in the Previous Drawing and II
Is Estimated That the 100000 Num-
hers Will Be Drawn in About
Three Hours.

Washington, June 25.-Drawing of
order numbers for the 100000 men
who registered for military service
last June 5 will be held Thursday
IN the same committee room of the
senate office building in which the
first great national lottery was held
little more than a year ago.
Secretary Baker, blindfolded, will
draw the first number from tho bowl
at $3.50 a. m. and the selection will
continue until all the capsules con-
tanning the master numbers have
been removed. With a maximum OF
LOO men estimated from the district
showing the largest registration on
June . it is expected the second lot
terry will be completed within three
hours
The order in which a registrant is
drawn Thursday will determine only
his place in one of the five classes
to which he may be assigned.
Assignment OF a registrant to class
one is practically certain to entail
his early call to colors if he is ply
sically fit, and if he is given de-
ferred classification his position in
the other classes is of little moment.
Attaches of the provost marshal
generals staff particularly will draw
the capsule.
AS soon as a capsule is selected he
will hand it to another attache who
will open and call out the number
drawn.
Each number as it is drawn will
be written upon a large blackboard
placed in full view of all in the
room. This board will then be pho
tographed. Each local board will be
furnished with an official report of
the order in which the numbers ap-
peared so that they win be able to
make up liability lists for their dis
tricts. Preparation of such lists will
be postponed until the new regis
trants have returned their question:
naires.
Seven days have been allowed for
filling out and returning these docu-
ments.

sugar to be allowed to hotels, restau.
rants and all other public eating
places:
"The three pounds per ninety
meals served means that the amount
of sugar secured under that rulina
from Washington represents the al
lotments for all purposes. 1t includes
the supply for cooking and for what
ever sugar is used in pies, pastry OF
desserts, as well as for individual
service to guests"
Sugar for Bakers
All sugar allotments for bakers
will be based on a three months pc
riod, comprising July, August and
September. 1t must be understood,
however the food administration de-
ciares, ina: only one-third of that
supply may be drawn in July Bak-
ers in computing the amount of sugar
they are entitled to may do one of
two things
First they may take 70 per cent Of
the amount of sugar they used in Ju-
ly august and September, 1917. as
2hair 2llo'ment ~ The same GORE
s2nati' 2 months this year.
Second, they may take 20 per cent
of the amount of sugar they used in
June 1918, multiply that by three, for
their allotment during July, August
and September.
Retailers Also Restricted
Retailers in purchasing sugar must
take into careful consideration the
amount Of sugar they would sell un-
der the three pounds per person per
month rule during July August and
September, and they must use as
basis the amount they bought from
jobbers and wholesalers during April,
May and June, this year. Under no
consideration must they sell sugar
in violation of the three pounds per
capita rule
I'm the event that It is absolutely
necessary in order to keep ones place
of business running, the state food
administrator will issue certificates
to those entitled to the same before
July j, for the July allotment. but
only for 25 per cent of the amount
such establishment may require next
month.

ITALIANS LONG FOR

Italian Army Headquarters in
Northern Italy, Monday, June 24.--
ltaly's victory has been one of science
over blind courage The Italians
from the start had more artillery
against them but their fire was al
ways acurate and quick while the
Austrian fire was diffused The
italian infantry were at times OPP
posed by five times their number.
yet the Austrian troops We're driven
back Notwithstanding their brilliant
courage which the Commander in
Chief Diaz has called unfortunate
yalor"
The secret of tre Italian victory
seems to lie in immediate counter
attacks being followed by counter
offensives all along the line Thus
the enemy was never given any rest
and never allowed to replenish his
supply of troops The general feel
ing az headquarters is that although
the victory has been great there are
yet harder days ahead of the de-
Tending forces

GERMAN RAIDER IS
ROAMING ATLANTIC
BELIEVED TO BE A FORMER
FRUIT STEAMER WHICH WAS
CAPTURED BY SUBMARINE.

Norfolk, Va, June 25.-Reports
brought here are said to reveal the
presence in West Indian waters Of a
German raider. The craft is heavily
armed and capable of at least Is
knots an hour
The reports were brought here to-
day by masters of vessels arriving
from Central and South America. The
ship is said TO be OF the cruiser type,
with a rakng build and clear lines.
The fact that the raider made no ef-
fort to attack at least two vessels
which sighted her led the captains "a
believe that she is a mother ship"
Tor submarines which recently were
operating off the Atlantic coast.
The raider was described by the
ship captains as about 270 feet long
with a speed at from 15 to 20 knots
an hour. Some of those who sighted
the craft expressed the belief she was
former fruit steamer plying between
the United States and Central Ameri-
ca which had been captured and arm
ed by one Of the submarines operating
off the coast.
1t also was said that both the Brit
ish and American navies have been
notified of the presence of the raider
in the West Indies and that steps are
being taken to protect shipping.
The raider first made her appear
ance 200 miles east OF Hamilton Ber-
muda whore she is reported to have
sunk a large British steamship. Two
American merchant ships were
shelled hut managed 10 escape.

If necessity is the mother OF inven-
it is time the old dame got busy and
conceived something in the way of a
substitute for the black diamonds we
have been using in our CRATES this
winter. One great promise of the fu-
ture lies in the white coal which has
been running to waste for ages, but
prices of electrical apparatus are SO
high at the present time that private
enterprise hesitates about making an
| investment in power plants, and pro
motors have found frequently that To-
| cal prejudice was difficult obstacle to
overcome, attempts being made to
/ block developments or to charge prices
for rights which We're prohibitive. There
is d growing belief, also that the
water powers should be controlled for
the people, and not for the enrichment
of a few investors. State and federal
business is of such a pressing nature
on account of the war that scant at
tention will be given to power plants
for a long time. Perhaps some inventor
will come to the rescue and show us
how to secure perfect combustion OF
fuel. At the present time 50 per cent
or more of the heat which we develoT
in our furnaces goes up the chimnies
The late Dr. Virgil Blanchard of New
York and Middlebury, a native Of
Windham county, worked for years OF
this problem, and thought at one tins
! that he had solved it. He had so
called perfect combustion stoves whiel
: seemed to work in his laboratory il
, Middlebury, but the invention neve
r reached the point where it was practi
} cal for everyday use.

"Uh,' he said, roaring bOastfuIly,
stink for a moment what it means to
be a King Tiger, and to be a Queen
Tigress, too he added.
Its glorious" roared Queen Tigress,
in anything but q queenly voice, though
1t did sound powerful and as though
her subjects would always have to do
her bidding.
''There are thousands and thousands
and thousands OF eats. There are
beautiful cats and ugly cats. There are
household pets and wild ones. There
are cats who do their shopping in the
garbage tins and others who are given
cream out of beautiful china saucers.
Some lie on siIken cushions and
others seek sleep behind ash tins and
empty tomato cans. Others live in
the dark forests.
And of all these thousands of cats
cats of all kinds and colors and de-
scriptions l am the King and you are
the Queen, and so are all Of the Tiger
big cat family. Isn't 1t wonderful
honor? We have so many subjects!
'And, too, it means that of all the
kinds of cats, we are biggest, the most
beautiful, the most ferocious, which
/ have heard is another word for wild.
| If we were merely the king and queen
of a few it would not be so great, but
! were king and queen of an enormous
/ kingdom of cats, tame cats and Wilo
! cats"
Its a wonderful honor" said Queer
