Der. The men will be called in the

tionnaire, and the board will thea
classify them. The men who are

pendents in Class 3, men consid-
cred necessary in their civilian ac-
tivities in Class 2, and men for
military service in Class /. Men

pany A of the 104th, described by an
officer as capable COW hands" from
Towson, Md, Farmer Lockwood
slipped a rope through the ring in
the bulls nose and dragged him into
Farmer William Henry's nearpy
barn.
This, however, is not all the story.
Newspaper correspondents heard
about the bulls capers and went to
the barn for a press conference, led
by Capt. Richard c. O'Connell, Vice
Mayor of Baltimore and adjutant
of the medical regiment.
The bull snorted and kicked and
tugged at the two ropes. Capt.
O'Connell and the press retreated.
Finally the bull was pulled out of
the barn and down the hill to pose
for photographer. The corre-
spondents themselves hid behind
nearby automobile because he
didn't like to have his picture taken.
When last seen, the bull and his
captors were making slow progress
down hill along the 116th Virginia
Infantry camp with the Vice Mayor
of Baltimore right behind. The bull
almost scored on another Army tent
before he. was pulled into the
verdant green pastures along the
way home.

RENSSELAER, FALLS, NY, Aug.
10.-A spirited 3-year-old pedigreed
Holstein bull staged a frontal attack
on the camps Of the 104th Medical
Regiment and the 5th Infantry,
Maryland National Guard, this
morning.
Absent without leave from the
farm of Sumner Lockwood, local
dairyman, the bull charged into the
Maryland reservation and went on a
wild rampage.
Khaki tents must have made the
bull see red, for he charged into
four of them, crashing his head
into the main poles and knocking
them down in the 104th Area.
Bootjacks, canteens and clubs
were hurled by the Maryland med
icos as the bull charged, puffed and
snorted down. the regiments main
street. Somewhat taken aback by
this opposition, he hit the road for
the 5th Regiment, scattering sol-
diers and officers. He then started
uphill, dashing through the 58th
Brigade area of Brig. Gen. Amos w.
w. Woodcock and making for the
29th Division headquarters.
Meanwhile, Farmer Lockwood,
middle-aged and overall-clad. heard
the battle from his farmhouse and
set forth to capture hts wild bull.

Press Says Germans
Cant Worry Over
Food for Conquered
Takes Rosy View Of
Winter Prospects Except
In Occupied Areas
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Aug. 10.-The NaN press
took a rosy view today of Germany's
winter food prospects, but was less
sanguine about occupied lands. over
which it said Germany could not be
expected to be too greatly con-
cerned.
The papers said an adequate food
supply for Germany is assured, and
that even the Balkan crops, while
not record breakers" are more than
sufficient to feed the southeast.
Statistics released by the Ru-
manan Institute of Business Re-
search said the Russian grab of
Bessarabia and Northern Bucovina
included IS per cent of the Ru-
manian wheat crop, 38 per cent of
barley, So per cent Of rye and %
per cent of corn-enough to have
supplied Germany's import needs.
While emphasizing Germany's
food prospects, the German papers
frankly were not optimistic about
the occupied countries, particularly
the Low Countries and France,
which they said were being pinched
by the British blockade.
First Obligation At Home.
Germany's first obligation Is to-
ward Germans, the press asserted.
While Germany will be actuated by
humanitarian motives to some de-
gree, she cannot be expected to con.
Germ herself too much over popula-
tions which fought Germany and
now face want because they have
ruined" neglected or deserted their
own farms.
(T'his stand was emphasized
in a German broadcast ad-
dressed to the United States and
heard today by c. B. S. in New
York. in which the NaA propa-
gandist known as "Okay" sug-
gested Britain could avert "a
serious food shortage" without
aiding Germany by relaxing her
blockade OF the Continent.
(After referring to a recent
British statement that sending
food to France would relieve
Hitler of the necessity of sup,
plying like relief to the peoples
of the countries he has occu-
pied" he then said:

Listening Posts at

The State Department disclosed
today that it was establishing diplo-
matte listening posts at Dakar.
French West Africa, nearest point
in Africa to South America, and at
st. Pierre-Miquelon, French insular
possession of the coast of Canada.
An announcement of changes
ordered recently in the American
Foreign Service revealed that the
American consulate at Dakar, closed
in 1881 as part Of an economy drive,
would be reopened shortly.
Dakar is the hopping Oh place
for Frances transatlantic air
service to South America when that
service, now dormant, is operating.
The State Department disclosed
also that the consulate at st. Pierre
Miquelon, which is south Of New
foundland, would also be reopened.
This consulate was closed in jan
uary this year for lack of business.
Back in prohibition days it had
watched ship movements to detect
rum runners.
Regarding the Dakar consulate,
officials said the State Department
had been greatly handicapped on
the west coast of Africa since its
closing. There was no office within
a Thousand miles of Dakar, they
said, and "the time seems to have
arrived when we should have repre-
sentation there"
The Dakar consulate will be re-
opened as soon as Thomas G. Was
son of Newark, now consul at Vigo,
Spain, can reach there.
The st. erre-Miquelon consulate
will be reopened as soon as Mourice
Pasquet Of New York can arrive
from Dairen, Manchuria, where he
is now vice consul.
The State Department disclosed
also that the staff of the Embassy
in Berlin was being increased in re-
sponse to a request from Alexander

tional help. Leland B. Morris Of

Administration Cool
To Compromise Talk
On Conscription
MoIoney Claims Support
For Plan to Seek
Volunteers First
By the Associated Press.


Administration leaders turned a
cold shoulder today to talk of a
compromise In the Senate fight over
conscription
Senator Barley of Kentucky, the
Democratic floor leader, expressed
the opinion to reporters that con-
scription and voluntary enlistments
could not be linked successfully in
such a system as that offered by
Senator Maloney, Democrat. OF
Connecticut as a substitute for the
Burke-Wadsworth bill.
Senator Barkley also said he
thought opponents of the conscrip-
ton legislation would muster their
maximum strength on compromise
amendments. He predicted that If
such compromise attempts failed,
fewer than IS Senators would vote
against final passage Of the bill.
Referendum Now Considered.
Opposition Senators, meanwhile,
were reported to be discussing the
possibility Of a referendum vote on
conscription at the November elec-
ton. Some of these Senators said
they were confident that, given a
chance to express its opinion at the
polls, the country would show a
majority sentiment against the
draft.
Senator Maloney would require
the registration of all men from
81 through 30, as would the Burke
Wadsworth bill, but he would delay
the draft until January l while vol
untary enlistments were sought. If
these enlistments did not fill the
Army's quota, conscription would
be ordered.
Army enlistments totaled 23,442
IN June and 1888 in July, a peace
time record. The Army's strength
was 270,183 on July 81, and will be
brought to 322, 1922 as quickly as pos
Sible.
Maloney Claims Support.
Senator Maloney said his proposal
appeared to be attracting increasing
support, despite administration op-
position and the reluctance of con-
scription opponents to agree that
the draft might be needed while
the Nation was at peace.
One of the latter group, Senator
Nye, Republican, of North Dakota
said he was willing to have men
from 81 through 80 registered in
order to have the draft machinery
ready If war came, but could see
no reason for abandoning the ira
ditional American peacetime policy
Of voluntary enlistments.
He predicted that supporters
would find 1t necessary to compro-
mise the Burke-Wadsworth bill be-
fore they could obtain Senate ap-
proval.
This view was echoed in private
by one administration strategist,
who said he had no doubt that some
sort of conscription bill would be
