ARMY DRAFT RULESHOW COMPLETED

*

Washington..New regulations f~rapplying the army draft wore virtuallycompleted tonight at the office ofthe provo3t marshal general and probably will be submitted to PresidentWilson tomorrow for final approval.The president already has approvedthi general plan, under which all rcgi«t,j|pro(lmen not yet called will boclassified in five groups in accor 1- '

atu'e with their availability for mill- itury service. Provost Marshal Gencra'Crowder tonight cleared up thequestion as to how the draft numbersnow held bv the nearlv 9,000.000 un.'*

icalled registrants will be applied to |the new classifications.

In each local district the key madeun from the draft number in the orderof their drawing will bo applied toeach class or group. In other words,the men of Class 1, in which will vcpfciced those of the least value at I

Vwjme, and with the slightest obhgationsto dependents, will be called inthe order of their serial numbers untilthat class is exhausted, just as thoughall other classes had been exhausted.When Class 1 is exhausted, the same

p.ocess will he applied to Class 2 andso on down to Class 5.Thus a man whose series in the

great war army lottery had led himto believe that he would he among thelast summoned, may bo assigned tothe fi:st class and ordered into scrwiththe first quota. On the otherhand another whose number assuredhim originally a place with thenext increment may be so classifiedas to make it very certain he neverwill be called.

IRM OUR SOLDIERS iWITH 8EST EQ1JJPMENT

secretary MoAdoo Makes a (Strong Appeal For the

Government.

Atlanta.Germany's efforts to keep £Vmericnn ships off the high seashrouph her ruthless submarine wartirowas a direct blow aimed at the)respevity of American farms and ofVmeriran business, Secretary Mr- ^

\aioo declared in his Liberty Day ad- *

Ivess here.After reminding his hearers that

VmeHca went to war in 1812 to vindicateher freedom of the seas and hadsteadfastly maintained it since thento continued "Why- is that li^ht sowsential to America's life and security.It is because we have alwaysp: educed more than we can consume 1

at home. Ard the very prosperity ofmr people, their very life, in fact, dom\/\nh1 ' i 11 1 '

v.ivn iu.um,y ai an unv ^ j:< roll that surplus in the op< n mar-1ko's of the world."The German emperor had been led

by disloyal people in this country tobelieve that America never wouldight, the secretary of the treasurycm tinned, "and that any transgrose'rnof our rights would be met simplyby protests.

''Had America submitted and kept'.or ships of f the seas, discord and discontentamong American peoplev.u'd have followed Mr. McAdoo said,and the German emperor by one'orokc of his pen would have accomplished"more destruction Upon Am?ficanfarms, in American factoriesand in American business bouses andto American interests all ovver this j'and than ho could accomplish with adthe armies and navies of the Germanempire."

After telling what stoppage of Americansea commerce would havemeant in loss to cotton growers ofthe South and of German's efforts toinvolve the United States with Japanand Mexico through the Zimmermannntrigue, the secretary turned to ruth'esssubmarine warfare, and recitedthe stories of helpless men and womenbeing drowned at sea."Some man has said, or is alleged

:o have said, that America had nojustification for this war with Germany,"the secretary declared. "Ifthere be on American, or any man inthis land whether he is an Americanor not, who knowing this record, saysthat we did not have justification forwar with Germany, the yellow bloodflows in his veins.he hasn't any red jblood in him."

Mr. McAdoo denounced those indi-jviduals who would make peace withthe kaiser's government and the "alhgedpeace societies" in this country.'Phi latter are merely "German wolvesmasquerading in the hides of Amcie.antraitors," he declared, while someof the former are deluded and simplepeople and "some are in the pay ofvhc kaiser." *

|The secretary, who has completed a.cur through the West and Southwest;n the interest of the Liberty Loan,,said his trip had convinced him thatAmerica is awake to the fact that this |

t:*y is waging a war for self-presc»*vation and knows that when the:\\i v.ggle is carried to a successful conelusion the liberty of the United Stat-os will never bo imperilled again. j!After describing the liberty bondwhich the government is selling a-uhi ving the entire country's guaran j <toe of the safety of the principal.the j'money invested in it, the secretary Mp-'dod "but America cannot assure Ior soldiers of the principal.their {

"The soldier does not ask the g v-' >nr.iont to guarantee him safely,"!1

CAPTURE OF 6,000IN SHORT TIME

Jo Confirmation of ReportedResignation of German

Chancellor.

General Cadorna's skill and strate;\,which made possible capture ofh( heights on the eastern bank of thefsonzo, is being put to the test by astrong Austro-German offensive on

? c front from Klitsell to the Bainsi/.11plateau, northeast of Gorizia. The'irst blow has been struck, but apparentlywith no great >ucceSs for theattackers.

Austria's army could do littleagainst the Italians, who were pressingforward and breaking the mor;deof the Austrian army. Tlie Chiapavr.novalley already had been enteredand soon the Austrian forcewould have been cut into. Triest wast 1 I'O'i t <ino< i «» «»«» ! G - 1 -* 1 kv...v,nv.mi ofllWllJI^ illMI I Old, IIH5

Great Austian port, were in dangerThe Italian efforts were having theireffect.

. .To Austrians* Rescue.Germany, which up to this time, has

sent little of men or munitions to thi.sfront, has come to the help of the losingAusrians, and it is German soldiersand German munitions anilguns that are thundering against Cadorna'sdefenses along the Isonzo. TheItalians, General Cadorna reports,are "steady and prepared."

After a heavy bombardment, theAustro-German infantry was thrownforward aganist the Italian position*near Flitsch, near Tolmino and on thenorthern part of the Buinsizza plateau,a front of 25 miles. The firstblow brought no great gains, the Austro-Gcrmans,by their own reportgaining only the foremost Italian defensesat these points.

Generally the Italians have some tuivantage in terrain, but the Austrian;*and Germans hold many high mountainpositions near the Italian lines.The Italians also are fighting withtheir backs to the Isonzo river.

German Political Situation.The German political situation is

.-till clouded, but the absence of definitenews may be the calm before thotorm. Dr. Michaeli. , the bureaucraftchancellor, is reported to have placedhis resignation in the hands of theEmperor, but there has been no conf11 mat ion.Nearly all the political parties in

the Reichstag have joined in the driveagainst Dr. .Michnelis, which becamemost intense when ho attempted tothiow the b'ame for the mutiny indie German navy onto the intlependtlit Socialists who have I o n persist

enthecklers of his policies. The furorraised by the announcement Pthe mutiny his suhsMcd apparently,but the government has taken no

steps to prosecute the Socialist Deputiesaccused by Miekaelis and Admitillvon Capellc.

Emperor William probably is in a(|Uandi y as to who to select for thehancollorship. Prince von Buelow is)p.posed by the Socialists and otherBeichstag elements do not want von
