After a delay of several weeks, i perhaps a month or more, the man i whose name has been drawn is noti- i tied by the War Department • Ither | that ho has been exempted from serv- j ice or that he has been selected. If) j the latter, he is told when and where j [ to report. 3. He reports at the time and place , designated, probably a local armory, | I is given his equipment and transport- | ed to a concentration camp. In case he believes he should have | been exempted and was not, he is en- j i titled to carry his case to the local | federal court for settlement.

May 21. The bitu- j minous coal shortage is blamed on ! the railroads, in a report to-day by j the Gederal Trade Commission. Pro- ! ducers. by taking advantage of the j lack of cars, are charged with re- ] sponsibility, however, for prevailing j high prices. "There is no scarcity of coal in the ground." the report says. "There is sufficient coal in the bituminous coal mines now being operated, not only to supply the present demand, but also to supply a greatly increas ed demand. The unprecedented de mand for this fuel in the past six months together with the difficulties of rail and water transportation, not only have absorved the coal as fast as it could be shipped from the mines, but have led also to almost complete exhaustion of the coal stored at tidewater points and at the docks on the Great Lakes. "The country faces a serious state of affairs in obtaining a commodity which is basic to practically every form of its military and industrial activity." "Under war time conditions," says the report, "it may become the duty of the government to take steps simi lar to those found necessary by bel ligerent European countries and not only to regulate the distribution of coal from the mouth of the mine to the ultimate consumer by allotting the quantity of the product which the different classes of consumers shall be allowed to purchase., but also to establish the prices to be paid by different classes of consumers. * * * At a time like the present excessive profits should not be per mitted to be extorted from the public by producers and distributors of any prime necessity of life." U. S. to Build Great Fleet of Battle Planes Washington, May 21.—Tobylianna, Pa., heretofore used as an artillery range, has been chosen for a canton ment site, it was announced by the War Department to-day.

C„ and Amityvllle, L. 1., were also announced. : The nature of the cantonment at Tobyhanna has not finally been deter mined, but work has been ordered for | clearing ground for machinegun oper ations and it is probable that a na | tional guard machinegun school will I be established there.

SINK SUBMARINE BY NEW METHOD Decline in Ship Losses Ex plained by British Food Director London, May 21.—Kennedy Jones, director of food economy, speaking j at Edinburgh, said: "I believe we are beginning to j master the submarine trouble. There i were those who told us in March that the longer days would see a rapid increase in our shipping losses. They have seen a decrease, for the longer days with clear weather pro vide better opportunitis for observa tion by seaplanes. "There is another reason. We have been able, thanks to the ingenuity of our Admiralty and to the courage .ind skill of our sailors, to make at tacks by a new method on the Ger- j man U-boats, which so far have been i attended with success. "That will, I think, .con tinue. I hope and believe that in the course of the next five months Germany will discover she has made! another miscalculation, that another I of her tricks has been trumped; she I wil realize that in no circumstances 1 is it possible to starve us out of tlic j war, and that is tlie hone with which i alone I believe Germany is holding j her people together to-day. "It is possible you may. have an earlier termination of the war than those in high command, always the I most pessimistic of people, and i rightly so, allow themselves to hope I for." U. S. to Have 500,000 Men on Front in Year Washington, May 21.—The United ' States will be represented on the fighting fronts of Europe, both land and sea, by an army of perhaps 500,- 000 men and a powerful force of naval vessels within a year. i The Pershing expedition to France] and the flotilla of destroyers now | hunting down submarines in the Brit- | isli war zone are but the beginning. I Tills was indicated in official circles to-day. Ample proof is found in the I preparations which the government is making. Beginning to-day the "big push" for volunteers for the military service will begin. The regular army needs more than 100.000 men to bring it to war strength and the national guard requires 170,000 additional men. Be sides these, a volunteer force of 150,- 000 to fill the places of regulars with drawn to train the volunteers and the 500,000 selective conscripts are | wanted. With recruiting officers shooting: at a total of more than 400,000 —and this is regarded in War Department cir- 1 cles as the real test of volunteer methods—every ounce of machinery is to he brought to bear to All these places before the draft gets into op eration, probably late in August. The general staff plans a call for an army of approximately 1,200,000 within a year. Indeed, the total will be swelled to probably 1,700,000 in that period, as the second increment under the conscription bill probably will be ordered to colors before more than nine months have elapsed. Cleanup Force Working in Central Part of City The second week of the annual spring cleanup started to-day with the four Kangs of men covering a large district in the central part of . the city. The remainder of the week will be needed, healthy officials said, to coin plete the work in the section of Di- I vision street, as practically no col- I lections of ashes were made for weeks at a time during the winter.
