Historic events of a little less than a year ago were repeated as. from a large glass bowl in a committee room of the Senate office building, v.cre drawn the numbers represent ing 744,500 youths, the majority of ■whom within a few months will be enrolled in the forces fighting for democracy and against Prussianism. officials Arc Witnesses Secretary Baker, members of the Senate and House Military Commit tees. and other high government of ficials witnessed the drawing by blind folded men of the little capsules from the bowl, each of the capsules con* taining a "master number" to be ap plied in the 4.500 registration dis tricts of the country according to the total registration. The setting for the lottery was a replica of that of July 20 last, when the drawing of 10,500 numbers de termined the liablity for service of approximately 10,000,000 men. In the country at large there was little of the excitement that attended the first drawing. A year of war had served to calm the American people. The lack of excitement, however, was largely occasioned by the fact that to-day's drawing was fraught with only rlight significance, owing to the qvestionnaire method of classifica tion. Will Be Five Classes To-day's drawing was to determine only the relative summoning to the colors of the new registrants as Anally classified by the local boards under the questionnaire system. All jf the youths whose numbers were drt wn to-day will be assigned to the various five classes on the basis of information furnished in the ques tionnaires now being mailed out. The new registratns will be placed at the foot of the list in each class in their respective districts in the order in which their numbers are drawn to day. In that respect only will to day's drawing affect the registrants. Statements made recently by Pro vost Marshal General Crowder and Secretary Baker indicate that all af the new registrants placed in Class 1 will be called before the end of the year.

COAL DEALERS PESSIMISTIC AT SITUATION HERE Little Fuel at Hand For Or ders Which Have Been Piling Up Steadily ALL HOPE FOR THE BEST Promises of the Administra tion Viewed Skeptically by Many Men Coal dealers in Harrisburg refuse to be optimistic over the promises of .the government anthracite com mittee and mine operators that there will be adequate fuel for household needs next winter. With 114, 229 tons ordered, and only 20.T45 tons delivered, leaving unfilled orders to the extent of 93, 484 tons on their books before June 1, the dealers are frankly skeptical. A total of 15,063 orders for next win ter's supply had been received by the dealers until this morning. The ma jority of them are unfilled. "The fuel administration is very optimistic," said one dealer. "But we want to see the coal." Shipments In April were fair, they say, not so good in May and very poor during: June. With three months of the summer buying sea- I son gone, and the supply on j hand about as tangible as the coal j that was burned last winter, the I dealers are growing restive. Their opinons vary with the fig- I ures received by the local fuel ad- j ministration from the federal anth racite committee, which promise more than enough coal for the city's ! needs. Ross A. Hickok, county fuel ' administrator, is confident that the 1 coal will be supplied, he has said. A survey of the outlook among j the dealers this morning elicited the j varying opinions that the situation is "bad," "gloomy," "unpromising" and j "uncertain." All the dealers admitted they have ■ no coal. They expressed their pes simism in terms of varying inten sity. John H. Gates, of the Gates Coal Company, says: "We've had no i shipments for two weeks. We have ! no prosjjeots of shipments, no guar- ■ antees and there isn't going to be any coal in Harrisburg irrespective [ of what the fuel administration says unless the people wake up." Frank Wallis, Wallis Coal Com pany. took a more conservative view. "We have practically nothing on hand, and we know absolutely noth ing more than you regarding ship ments to come. We couldn't get a guarantee under any circumstances. But there is an optimistic view be ing taken by the dealers regarding the promises of the operators. The peonle must learn to conserve." Walter Montgomery, Montgomery Coal Company, said: "We have a little coal and are filling orders." Ix>ok For Bettor Times J. E. Dare, coal dealer, said: "We don't have any but buckwheat, and haven't got any nut for two months. We have the promises of the opera tors and anthracite committee, but those promises are not always kept." H. M. Kelley, of H. M. Kelley & Company, sounded a note of hope above the dealers' miserere. No, we have no coal, but we have the | assurance of the government that we i'will have it. The trouble is the peo ple get excited and all of them want their coal at once. We'll have the eoal in August and September. Meanwhile householders who were urged to tile their orders early are wondering what they will get for it. as the priority of deliveries, dealers said this morning, is not given to those who filed their orders first, but as the dealers see fit. And house holders are getting restive at the re ports of advanced coal prices to be announced contingent to the ad vanced freight rates. Mysterious Marshal Smith Says the "Case Is Greatly Exaggerated" Mike L Malarkey was arrested yesterday in York charged with im personating a United States officer of the Department of Justice. United States Marshal Smith said this morning that the "case was greatly exaggerated." Then he hung up his phone in the midst of the conversation. Smith had an altercation with a newspaper reporter one day and since that time he has looked upon all reporters as something akin to German spies. He conducts his of fice as though the public had no in- I terests in its doings and with about : as much regard for courtesy as one I might expect at the hands of a ' newly-elected village constable the | day after election.

ONE SPOONFUL OF SUGAR PER MEAL IS NEW ORDER Three Pounds a Month a Per son Cuts Down Use of Sweets SITUATION IS GRAVE ONE Manufacturers May Not Use Anything Like Their Full Amount in Products Restrictions that effect every one issued because of the increasing: gravity of the sugar shortage, will | cause a reduction of twenty-five per cent, in sugar consumption in Har risburg homes. These restrictions, promulgated late yesterday after noon by Food Commissioner Herbert Hoover provide for the use of but three pounds of sugar per month i per individual in homes in Harris-1 burg, as well as in other homes throughout the United States. Manufacturers will likewise be seri ously affected. Three pounds of sugar per month will permit the use of a single tea spoonful by an individual at any one meal. If Young Husband desires sweetened coffee in the morning, unless he is very soaring with the sugar, he will be obliged to go with unsweetened cereal. Harrisburg citizens have failed to realize the gravity of the sugar situation, largely because of the fact that the price has remained at prac tically the same figure as it had been before the declaration of war. through the earnest efforts put forth by food administration of ficials.

Cowden and Com-, missioners Lynch and Gross confer red on the proposed improvement which will necessitate permission I from city authorities to place one of the large piers in the River Park 1 near the present wall and "front I steps."

The Read ing bridge will be longer, as it will j extend across Front and Second i streets and the Pennsylvania rall ' road main line tracks connecting ! with the Reading lines west of Cam-, ! eron street. The new structure will; ! be wide enough for double tracks,] j and it was said that work would be started as soon as permission is re j ceived from state departments and I the government.

EVIDENCE OF DISLOYALTY AT FOOD HEARING Enemy Aliens Said to Be De liberately Working to Em barrass Government Evidence that in disobeying the food laws of the Federal food ad ministration, a part of the enemy alien population of the city is be ing deliberately disloyal, piled up at the trial of three foreign-born ••esidents who received tines for flour 1 hoarding at the hearing before the food administration this morning. Fines to the amount of $35 were ■ imposed and 90 pounds of flour were j confiscated by the food administra | tion. The money is devoted to the | Red Cross. Mrs. Mike Spork, 1321 North I Eleventh street, was fined $5. Mart in Janka. 1323 North Eleventh street, $lO, and Nick Trailia, 121G ! North Eleventh. S2O. .Fifty pounds of excess flour was confiscated from the last and forty pounds from Janka. Not Naturalised All three are unnaturalized Aus . | trianß. Food Administrator Donald | McCormick flayed the three for their | disloyal tendencies in this country, ; when they are here as a means of S escape from the oppression of their own government. Janka, he de clared, would have to light if he were in his own country, as he is of military age. All of them have been in this country more than live - years and have made no efforts to take out their first naturalization papers. In response to questioning on the part of the food administrator, they said they would like to see America win. Evidence,. however, wa* produced which showed that Trailia was dis tinctly disloyal and had expressed disloyal sentiments. Stringent prosecutions of food I hoarders are to be instituted by the j food administration at once if d*s-1 loyalty continues, It was said at the i food administration offices this morning.
