 RULES GOVERNING DRAFT

Washington, Sept 8. - No changes are contemplated in the basic rules governing the operation of the draft in the case of men included under the new age limits. This was indicated to- day by Provost Marshal General Crow der, who after visit to the White House with General March, chief of staff, explained that the principles which prevailed in the selection of men between the ages of 21 and 31 would be retained in large measure for the guid- ance of those operating the selective machinery.
 There will be some changes, how ever, in the details relating to men engaged in certain industries. and more respectfully to men of more mature age included in the new registration. Just what these are the government Is not prepared to announce, but it is be- lieved that rules to cover all ques- tiors that can be foreseen now will be sent to draft boards within a few days.

Drought Disastrous
 to the Cotton Crop
Harvest Will Be 4,O9S, ,OOO Bales Less Than Was Fore cast Early in the Season:

Washington. Sept 3.-A disaster un- paralleled in the history of the cotton growing industry of the United States has befallen the American cotton crop this year as the result of a severe drought in July and August. The gov ernment's September cotton report, is sued today. forecast the prospective production this year at 11,137, 900
 equivalent 500-pound bales-4, ,098, 900 bales less than was forecast at the beginning of the season. An eleven million bale crop would be slightly smaller than the crops of the last three years.
 Cotton growers planted this year the second largest acreage on record and prospects seemed bright for one of the ! largest crops ever grown. Drought l during July, however, reduced the l crop by 1,616,00O bales. and dry i weather in August caused the greatest l deterioration ever recorded in a sinEe month, there being a decline of 179 points in the condition on Aug 25 as ! compared with July 25.
 1 The entire cotton belt was affected but in, Texas and Oklahoma and the i western part of the region it was i greater than in the east.

RAPID PROGRESS IN PRODUCTION OF GUNS
From 5000 to 1000 Heavy and From 5000 to 5000 Light
 Browning Guns Per Month Are Now Being Delivered Output of Rifles Is Steady at About 100000 Per Month

The flow of Browning machine guns from the plants is increasing rapidly. From 5000 to 1000 heavy and from 5000 to 5000 liglIt Brown ings per month are now being deliv'- cred, Mir Crowell said, or enough to meet all requirements in France. La ter on it will be possible to supply large numbers of these weapons for training in the United States.
 So far no report has come show irg that divisions equipped with the Browning guns have been in action but such reports cannot long be de- layed, for a large part of the army in France is now supplied with these | weapons.
 The output of artillery tractors has reached about 1,200. a month, Mir. Crowell's figures showed He regard | cd it as still far below the rate of production desired.
 | There is no shortage of powder and no shortage whatever in quartermas- tcrs' supplies. The rife production, MT. Crowell said, is steady at about 1 200 900 a month and the output of re- 1 Volvers and pistols ranges from 50, 1 G60 to 60,000 a month which, it is ex- pected, will be largely increased with ir another sixty days.
 The assistant secretary would at
 tempt no estimate upon the relative
 strength in artillery between the all lied and American forces and the Ger
 mans which the completion of Ameri- can projects would give. He said, however, that it seemed evident that
 the American troops or the allied
 forces would be able to make good
 use of all the guns that could be turned out and shipped

In majority of tie twenty four plants at work on artillery con- tracts. however, he said, the flow of manufacture had not yet reached the production stage.
 The output of 155- -millimeter howit- gers is an exception to this rule, ap- rroximately 250 weapons of this cali bre having been shipped to France.
 MT. Crowell pointed out that the Bethlehem Steel Company was the only experienced ordnance manufac- turing concern at work, nineteen oth- CTS being wholly new to this indus try In all of them. however the raw material is being steadily fed in at one end of the plant and the time is nearing when it will emerge at the opposite end in completed guns of all sizes.

ROUNDUP OF SLACHERS
 .lN NEW YORK AND VICINITY

New York. Sept 3.-More than 10,- 900 suspected draft evaders had been herded tonight into the armories of New York and nearby cities after the most vigorous stacker hunt since the United States entered the war It was estimated officially that from 25 to 30 per cent of this number were "wilful slackers."
 The drive. started early today in this city, Nestchester county and nearby New Jersey communities, win continue until it is believed all draft evaders have been caught, according to Charles F. DeWoody. chief of the New York bureau of investigation of the department of justice It is eX- pected that the 25.OO0 government agents enrolled for the work, including several thousand soldiers and sailors, will Eound up almost as many slackers tomorrow as today.
 Tonight hundreds of mothers, wives and sisters besieged the "corrals.' In many instances, where prisoners had simply left their registration and clas- sihcation cards at home, the women obtained the pieces of pasteboard which meant liberty for the suspects in other cases. where prisoners had Wilfully evaded the call of duty, all 1 the women could do was weep and plead in vain for their relatives re- i lease.
 Meanwhile, with suspects arriving 1 by the van load every minute, the spe- 1 cial examining boards toiled far into 1 the night, disposing of the cases as rapidly as possible More than 20( prisoners, in whose cases attempts tC evade the draft were proved, were summarily taken to Fort Jay an6 Camp Upton, there to don the uniform or, in some instances, to be court martialed as deserters.
 As the task of housing, feeding and guarding the suspects became hourly more serious, MT. DeWoody conferred here with Governor Whitman regard ing the problem.
 It was said that at the conference the question of mobilizing the stat i guard was discussed for it had beer found that the number of armed guards had to be increased during tn, day, not only to patrol streets nea the armories, but to accompany batch
 es of prisoners to restaurants near by
 It was estimated that from 15.000 t,
 20 900 men between the ages of 21 ant S1 were stopped and questioned durini
 the day. Hundreds of them wer
 rounded up at the entrances to thea LIOS anu ulOlIOH picture houses ana was found that many of the 10000 ar
 rested were from out of town
 This feature was explained by Cap
 tain David Asch, assistant to the di
 rector of the draft in this district, wh
 declared that New York is the great
 est slackers' retreat in America" an
 that men who want to evade thei
 duty have come here in droves iron
 all parts of the country"
 Women aided in the raids by driv
 ing many of the hundreds of auto
 mobiles used in transporting prisoner from police stations to armories.

UNITED STATES RECOGNIZES
 CZECHO- SLOVAK NATION

Washington, Sept. 3.-Recognition of the Czecho- Slovak nation today by the United States government assures the Czechs of northern Austria of a standing in the league of nations and, since it follows similar action by Great Britain, France and Italy, it may have a far-reaching effect on the war situation in Europe. In any event, it is expected to produce a new align ment of demands upon Germany and Austria Hungary at the peace table.
 The first immediate effect of the American governments action, state department officials said, will be in opening of the way to furnishing much needed war materials and sup plies to the CzechC-S -Slovak armies op- erating against the German and Aus trian forces in Siberia and southern Russia
 In the official view, the Czecho- Slovaks, if properly financed and aid- ed, will be able to make a more seri- ous and determined offensive against the common enemy. The Czecho in Russia and Siberia are particularly anxious to re-establish an eastern front and are said to lack only equip ment and moral support to accomplish their purpose, It is estimated that
  | Slovaks operating in Russia and Si- beria, and these, with the aid of such military aid as is being furnished by the allies and the large numbers oi Russians which they may attract to their standards, are expected to suc- cessfully combat German and Austrian aggression in the east.
 | In extending recognition to the Czecho- -Slovaks the United States went farther than Great Britain and France by recognizing the Czecho. Slovak national council as a de factC belligerent government.
 | Recognition of the Czecho- -Sloval nation by the United States was de. layed because President Wilson ant his advisers wished to be certain that the national council, with headuue rters in Paris, was the real representative: of it's people. President Wilson has told congress that it was not the pur, pose of the United States to dismem. Der Austria, but the fact that th, Czecho -Slovaks as a nation have ex. isted before the Christian era and re. cent developments in Austria are rep. resented as lending weight to z change in this governments attitude
 The terms of peace which the en. tente nations will impose upon Ger, many and Austria are expected to es tablish definitely the territorial posi- tion of the Czecho-Slovak nation. Thi, means that the northern tier of state in the dual monarchy, Bohemia. Mora via and part of Galicia will be sev cred from the empire and become tn, independent home of the Czecho Slo walks.
