Wilson Plans Aid to Russia From Standpoint of Trade Improvement Washington, June 27.—President Wilson has determined upon the basic principles or a plan for extend ing nid to Russia and is now engaged in formulating the details. At a cabinet council, called hastily for the purpose, he outlined his proposals and Invited suggestions as to the best means of carrying the policy into execution. The President's plan does not con template military intervention to re store Russian nationality and save the Russian people from the Ger man yoke. It aims at the commer cial, industrial, and agricultural up building of the great territory for merly ruled by a Czar, through a policy of mutual helpfulness arrang ed between the United States and whatever Russian authority is es tablished through the efforts of this government along the lines of the proposals which will be advanced in the President's name. At the same time it has features .somewhat similar to those in what has been re garded by many friends of Russia as the most feasible scheme for sav ing Russia from complete political and economical disintegration. It has not yet come to light wheth er the President's policies contem plates joint action with America's al lies in seeking to assist Russia. So much of the plan discussed at the White House Cabinet conference is still a secret. It is believed, however, that Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan and China will be invitea to join with the United States in the measures contemplated for the up building of Russia. They must be consulted, at any rate, and their views doubtless will have weight with the President. The proposed administration pol icy follows the line of prior sugges tions in that the commission would enter Russian territory through Si beria. Conservatory to , Be Removed Soon George A. Shreiner, superinten dent of public grounds and buildings, to-day declared that the Capitol Park conservatories bought yes terday by Samuel Pishman at public sale, are to be removed as soon as possible. "We expect to get action and I understand Mr. Pishman is arranging to have the building re moved. The people who bought the plants will have to remove them soon. Mr. Fishman bought a number which he placed at his residence, I understand." Mr. Shreiner said that he thought the state lucky to get a bid for re moval of such a delicate proposition as the conservatory and that instead of the building being worth anything like what the state had paid for it in construction, extension and re modeling in the last thirty years, he had been informed that it could be duplicated in a better style for $14,- 000. The fact that the conservatory, then known as the "rose house," had figured in the Stone campaign be cause of the cost, was recalled to-day by many people. Mr. Fishman is hunting people to start the removal work but does not know who will buy the material the house contains. Deaths and Funerals CLOYD M. PARKER Funeral services for Cloyd M.

YOUTH OF NATION ASSIGNED NUMBERS [Continued from First Page.] few months will elapse at the most between the calling of men in Class 1 whose numbers are among those drawn first and those whose numbers are among the last to be taken from the bowl. Raker Draws First Numbers The first few numbers to be drawn were taken from the. bowl shortly after 9.30 o'clock by Secretary Eaker. Later, attaches of the office of Provost Marshal General Crowder were blindfolded and withdrew the capsules from the bowl. As the num bers were drawn, they were an nounced and written on a large tixickboard. When the blackboard was filled, it was removed to be pho tographed and another substituted. This operation was repeated during the more than three hours required for the drawing. In comparison with the 10,500 numbers required to be drawn a year ago, only 1,200 numbers were drawn to-day. The district having the larg est number of men to register June 5 reported somewhat less than 1,000 registrants. To provide for late reg istrants and emergencies, it was de cided to draw 1,200 numbers. In the larger number of the districts, how ever, only the lower numbers will apply. Official lists of the numbers as drawn based on the photographs taken of the blackboards will be sent within a few days to all local draft boards to be used in placing the men when the questionnaires have been returned. The "master numbers" drawn to day apply to the numbers on the registration cards of the registrants. In the drawning of a year ago serial numbers were assigned, but this was demed unnecessary in the present drawing because of the fewer regis trants and of the less importance at tached to the order in which the numbers are drawn. w HARRISBXJRG (£ES& TELEGMJ^ST And They Were Counting on His Bringing Home the Bacon Member of Signal Corps Arrives With Unit Overseas ), t -• . \ \ , ' | i V \ : FRANK KUHN Frank Kuhn. with Company A, Three Hundred and Third Signal Corps, has arrived overseas, advices to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.

Hun Foreign Secretary's Removal Is Seen by Pre§s By Associated Press London, June 27.—The ren\oval from office of Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann, the German Foreign Secretary, can be anticipated, judg ing from comments in conservative and pan-German newspapers on his Reichstag speech, the Berlin corre spondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung says, according to a Central News dispatch from Amsterdam. Pari*. June 27.—Acknowledgment by Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann that Germany cannot be certain of winning the war by force of arms caused an indescribable sensation in the Reichstag, says a Zurich dispatch to the Petit Journal. His prediction that the war may last through a fifth winter was received in silence, and there was consternation among the members of the Right. The debate which followed the speech was stormy, pan-German speakers being Interrupted by the Left. "In the midst of ambiguities can be seen the deadl yuneasiness of the Kaiser," remkrks the Petit Journal. "The Foreign Secretary must have an abnormal degree of Imprudence to declare, the day after the Emperor glorified himself for foreseeing the war, that Russia and the Entente started it." The speech was intended for Ger man consumption, in the opinion of the Excelsiors, which says the Ger man people need such "recomforting tonics." The ePtit Parisien sees an econom ic war after the war. The Echo de Paris thinks the daily strengthened economic league of the Allies has crushed Germany's political aims and that the German leaders' anger was expressed through the Foreign Minister. The Matin declares It evident that the world is no nearer peace, "for which Germany is not yet ripe." Y. M. C. A. TO PARADE A large number of Central Y. M. C.
