14 INTERESTING SERVICES SUN NEVER SETS ON THIS ACTIVITY iChristian Endeavor Societies Girdle the Earth; Aim at 10,000 Societies Winona Lake, Ind., July 7. — At (the conference of trustees and field ißecrtjUu'ies of the United Society of jchrlsUan Endeavor, a four-day ses sion was held at which the Rev. Dr. IFrancls E. Clark, L.L. D., president W>( the United Society of ChrlsUan i Endeavor and of the World's Chrls :tlan Endeavor Union, gave the blen 'Jilal message with suggestions for ;the campaign of 1917-1919. He said (In part: "The sun never sets upon !the Christian Endeavor movement. On every continent, beside every iehore, on the banks of every great irlver, on all the largo Islands of the world, our societies aro found. In New York and London, in Paris and Chrlstlanla, in Tokyo and Peking, 'in Cairo and Calcutta, in Melbourne 'and Cape Town, Christian Endeavor finds itself equally at homo. "The goal set for tho coming blen nlum Is ten thousand standard socie ties and five hundred standard iunlons. These societies and unions shall be entitled to special diplomas or medals and suitable recognition will bo given to societies that have ■leached other If lesser standards. "State, district and local unions are urged to compete with one another for the largest number of societies, C. E. Experts, Quiet Hour Comrades iind Tenth Legionaries. C. E. Plays Big Part ► "Christian Endeavor has played a Tart in promoting the comity and fellowship of the nations. The last meeting of Britons and Ger mans and French and Dutch was a JSritlsh Christian Endeavor conven tion in London only two months be ipre the war broke out. The union meeting In South Africa after the Boer war was a Christian Endeavor! fellowship meeting between Boers |ind British in Cape Town, a few months after that bitterly contested I war closed. I know whereof I speak, for 1 was present at both meetings," Said Dr. Clark. , The next World's Christian En deavor convention will be held In New York City on the conclusion of [the war, and will be the best of all lEndeavorer's great gatherings. The Rev. Daniel A. Pojing, asso ciate president, reported that special (emphasis was placed on the success ful work of the youngr people for War prohibition. "The slogan, 'A galoonless Nation by 1920,' first by the International Chris- Endeavor convention in 1911, 'MS become the proclamation for a igjtjaonless world." Christian Endeavor Socle -1 are making thousands of com- IgAbags for the Red Cross. Special honor rolls are being pre- for the enrollment of all En- who engage in any form of relief, or food production Seervice. in the army itself, wherever prac- regimental Christian Endea vor Societies will be organized. The of this kind has already ihffci* organized by the Second En iKJlelrs at El Paso. * PRESBYTERIAN —Pine Street —The Rev. H. H.

This lecture especially arranged by the International Blfo.e Students as sociation, will be delivered at the "Victoria Theater," Sunday at 3 o'clock. "The World on Fire." is one of the celebrated pastor's favorite topics since the world's whirlpool of war began, into which the nations one after another have been drawn; or have avoided great difficulty in avoiding. This great world conflict has stirred the religious and scien tific world as nothing else has ever done. Are the nations of the earth facing financial and social collapse? Are the present heads of the world to be decapitated as a result of the drain in treasure and blood? And what will follow this war These are among the questions to be con sidered in connection with many others in this lecture here Sunday afternoon, at which there will be no collection taken and all seats will be free.

Eighteen are still needed to bring the command to full war strength. PHILADELPHIA MAN ROBBED Carlisle, Pa., July 7.—Attacked by a pair of masked men, whom he slates were negroes, Louis A. Rodia, of Philadelphia, here on business, was robbed of sls In money, his watch and diamond ring, at the point of a revolver. The case has been placed In the hands of the local police but so far no arrests have been made. EXPECT DRAFT IN FEW DAYS Forty Spins of Wheel to Call 1,200,000 to the Amer ican Colors Washington, July 7. —Selection day for the new national army is approaching as rapidly as the local exemption boards in the various States complete their organization, give serial numbers to the registra tion cards and forward certified copies to Provost Marshal General Crowder. Indications are that the drawing will be held next week, but no official statement has been made as to the War Department's plans. Administration officials still main tain strict silence as to the method to be followed. With the recent statement by Secretary Baker that the drawing would be held In Wash ington, however, coupled with the stress laid upon the serial number ing of registration cards, the general outline of the plan Is clearly In dicated. It Is understood that it Is propos ed to place, in a single jury wheel In Washington one complete set of numbers. When a number is taken from the wheel the man in each exemption district whose card bears that serial number will be drafted. Thus, as each number is drawn, ap proximately 30,000 men will be drafted, or one in each exemption district. If 1,200,000 men are to be called before the exemption boards in the first selection, which seems probable, only forty numbers would need to be drawn. It is also possible that as many as 1,500,000 will be drawn to provide against exemp tions. Aliens Registered There are numerous complications which must arise, however, and the method of solving them can be known only when the administration ulakes known Its plans in detail. For Instance, the number of registered individuals In each district who are liable for military service will cer tainly not be the same. Aliens are registered, but not liable for duty. All this must be considered In framing tho regulations. Provision must be raaCe also to balance as far as possible, the chances of military duty between the men In each dis trict, so that disqualfilcation of a large number in any particular dis trict for any reason will not put upon those qualified additional like lihood of being sent to the front. Various ways of accomplishing this correction of chances so as to make the resulting draft as fair as human ingenuity can contrive have been suggested. The matter has had President Wilson's personal consid eration in line with his pledge that the method employed would be just in every respect. While the first contingent of the new army, under the bill, is limited to 500,000 men, an additional 125,- 000 or 150,000 will be needed to make up the reserve battalion of this force. Reserve battalions are now be ing recruited for all regular regi ments and will be recruited for the National Guard when It is drafted into the federal service. The organ ization of the national army will be on the same basis. Draft to Regulars It may be necessary, also, to draft enough men to fill up the regulars and National Guard to war strength, although no decision to this end has been reached as yet. The regulars are now close to war strength and the guard units are recruiting rapid ly. If possible, they will be com pleted by the war volunteer system. There is one other consideration which will effect the total number of men to be drawn. Opinion varies as to the number of exemptions which must be made for the various causes outlined In the exemption regula tions. A rough estimate of at least fifty per cent, exemptions for physi cal or other reasons has been gen erally employed in computing the probable size of the task before the exemption boards. It is not known whether the gov ernment plans to call double the number of men actually needed on the first selection in order to pro vide against these exemptions. Pos sibly only the smaller number will be taken, to be filled out by later selections until the ranks are full. If the exemption factor is allowed for the first drawing, however, it seems likely that a million or a mil lion and a half names would be pro vided for at that time, the men to appear for examination in the or der in which they were drawn and the cards of those not reached in any district where the quota was filled before they came up before the board, to be returned. Another factor which Is being worked out in the selection regula tions is the provision of the law re quiring that each State be given credit at the drawing for the number of men it has supplied as volun teers in the Regular Army or the Na tional Guard. Newsboys Plan Elaborate Farewell For Member Who Has Enlisted in Army Newsboys of the city are planning an elaborate patriotic farewell for Samuel Koplovitz, a former presi dent of the Harrisburg Newsboys' Association, who has enlisted in the army, next Friday evening.
