Wellington, June 25.-As a further step carrying out the war departments plan to have S,o00,OOO men under arms August 1.

DRAWINGS FOR NEW DRAFT
 TO BE HELD THURSDAY
see'y Baker, sIindfoIded, Will Draw the First Number at e.3o a.. m.

Washington. June 25.-Drawing of order numbers for the S00.000 men who registered for military service last June ,, will be held Thursday in the same committee room in the senate office building in which the first great national lottery was held nearly year, ago.
 Invitations to attend the drawing have heen sent to all important gov ern1nent officials and 70 members of the military committees of both the senate and house. Secretary Baker, blindfolded. will draw the first num- ber from the bowl al 9.S0 q m and the selection will continue until all the capsules containing the mas ster num- bers have been removed. Last year io. 1900 numbers were used and the drawing continued for seventeen hours. With a maximum of 1900 men. esti- mates from the district showing the largest registration on June 5. it is expected that the second lottery will be completed within three hours
 Establishment oe five classes for the registrants, fixing relative liability for service. will make Tfursday's draw ing Of far less fhibortnnce even to the men directly concerned than was that Of a year ago. The order in which a registrant's number is drawn Tuesday will determine only his place Tn the class of which he will be assigned, whereas the first drawing was to fix the registrant,s place in the order of his call for service.
 Assignment of sr registrant to class one is practically certain to entail his early call to the colors if he is physically fit, and; if he is given de- ferred classification, his position in the other classes Is of little moment
 Attaches of the provost marsha generals staff probably will be nsed tC draw the capsules as was the case las year.
 A most careful cross checking O rne numbers will be made in order tha theer may be no mistakes Each mum ber as it Is withdrawn from the bow will be written in order upon a largi blackboard placed in full view of al in the room. When it has been filled this board will be pilotograp aphed for permanent record.
 Each local board will beFfurnishet with an official report of the order il which the numbers appear so that the, will be able to make up liability list for their districts. Preparation o such lists, however will =be postpone, until the new registrants have return ed their missionaries which are nov being distributed. Seven days hay been allowed for filling out and return ing these documests.e

The Itaiians at last have cleared the remaining Austrian rear guards from the west bank of the Piave river and now are in possession of the entire river fEont from the Montello plateau To the sea At last accounts their forces which crossed the stream in pursuit of the retreating Austrians were still harassing them, inflicting heavy casualties and forcing the en- emy to continue his disorderly re- treat.
 Fate, however, has turned some what it's balance in favor of the Aus trians, for the Piaye river again has risen and some of the pontoon bridges the Italians had thrown across the stream have been carried away, mak ing quick pursuit and the crushing of the Austrians, which General Diaz had counted upon, impossible. The Aus trians are declared to be rushing up reserves from the east in an endeavor to partly retrieve the situation.
 The Austrian war office admits a reverse along the Piave, but am -nounces that the retrograde movement has been carried out in accordance with plans and without loss of mate rial It is added that the Austrians have taken more than 50.000 prison CTS from the Italians since June 15 and that the aggregate losses of the Italians iJf the fighting at the lowest estimate Is 10000 men.
 Holding the upper hand along, the borders of the Venetian plain the Italians have. turned on the Offensive against the enemy in the mountain region and are Attacking on various sectors.

GERMAN PLOT IN IRELAND
 REAL DANGER TO ENGLAND
Chief Secretary For Ireland shott In. ., forms. House of Commons.

London, June ,25.-Edward Shortt, chief secretary for Ireland, speaking in the house of commons today on the Irish question, said he hoped to satisfy the. house that the German plot in Ireland WAC a real and imne diate danger to this country. He said he was satisfied that both the clergy and the nationalists had used their influence respectively to assist in keeping the peace.
 Secretary Shortt said the govern ment had found that Germany was in touch with Ireland and that not only wire messages going to, Ireland from a German source. but that they were going from Irish sources to Germany.
 The collapsible boat. in which the man, who is now prisoner, landed in Ireland from a submarine, MT. Shortt said. was made of canvas sim liar to that made at Hanover before the war.
 Mir. Shortt said the government knew that in certain port of Ger many a large amount of ammunition was loaded into a German submarine and that moreover, submarines fad been seen in localities where the de- struction of shipping. could not have been their object. .rr

War Measure Was Attacked and De- tended by Government Officials.


 Washington, June 25.-National pro- hibition as a war measure was attack ed and defended by government off, cials and others today before the sen ate agriculture committee. which had reopened hearings on the Jones prohi- bition to the s11 ,000,000 emergency appropriation bill to further develop the view of officials on the question. The hearings were concluded late to- day and Chairman Gore announced that the committee would meet Thurs day to vote on the amendment.
 Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board, Post master General Burleson and Samuel Federation of Labor, united in oppo- cause of its probable effect on the Workingmen. while Secretary Daniels, F.. C. Dinwiddie. representing the Anti Saloon league of America, and a number of business men from Detroit and other. cities urged its enactment. declaring that with prohibition has gone increased efficiency on the part of labor.

 On the front in France and Belgium bombardments and raiding operations, the latter in considerable strength, continue. -
 Spontaneously with the defeat of
 the Austrians in Italy and the spirit
 of unrest prevalent in the dual mon archy comes another acknowledgment
 from Germany that that country is
 desirous of peace. E
 Through it's foreign secretary, the
 German government has made the ad-
 mission that the end of the war could haPdly be expected through purely military decisions alone and without recourse to diplomatic negotiation and it was hoped Germany's enemies would realize that in view of the resource of the Teutonic allies victory for the entente was a dream.
 The foreign secretary was evasive with regard to the, future status of Belgium but asserted that the funda : mental views of the imperial govern ment differed from those ascribed to it by British statesmen The aims of Germany and her allies, he said, in- cluded a free, strong and independent existence within boundaries drawn for us4 by history. overseas possessions corresponding with. their greatness Of wealth and freedom of. the seas to commerce T ss.s 4& F One of the most remarkable utter ances of the foreign minister was a l declaration in which he placed the onns for starting the war on Russia,
