THE PULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURG, PA. PREPARING FOR IMMEDIATE DRAFT Conscription Will Begin Within Ten Days After Bill is Signed. 16 BIG CAMPS TO BE FORMED To Round Up All Subjects To Call. Forms For Draft Already Pre paredBuilding the Cantonment. Washington. With enactment ot the Selective Draft Army bill ap parently assured, the War Department to preparing to let machinery in notion without delay to produce under the measure within two years a train ed army of 2,000,000 men. Minor differences In the measure as It will pass the two houses probably rill necessitate a conference, but the bill lu expected to be ready for Presi dent Wilson's signature by the middle of the week. Champions In the House ot an eunendment designed to permit Colonel Roosevelt to recruit a volun teer force for Immediate service In France lost their fight on the first vote taken after the close of general de bate. The amendment, offered by Representative Austin, of Tennessee, and vigorously supported by Repre sentative Gardner, of Masachusetts, and others, was defeated, 170 to 106. Among those who voted for It was Hiss Rankin, of Montana, who tear fully opposed the war resolution. Within 10 days after the bill Is llgned every township In the country will be registering Its young men for duty, and work will have begun on the 16 training cantonments or camps where preparation of the forces for war will start in August or Septem ber. Sites for the cantonments have been selected tentatively and all ar rangements made for the troops as signed to each. Wide publicity Is planned, so that no man liable for registration will have a good excuse for falling to re pond. On a date to be set, every cltiien affected by the act will be re quired, on pain of heavy penalty, to present himself at the nearest regis tration place, where machinery will be provided for classifying the recruits and eliminating those exempt. Doubt ful cases will be referred to higher authority. Decentralization of administrative work will be sought by the depart ment In every move it makes. De tails will not be disclosed until the bill has passed, but it is known that registration will be carried on through sheriffs and other county officials, aided by postmasters or other Federal agencies where that seems desirable. Instructions and forms already have been prepared and will be forwarded to the State Adjutant-General for dis tribution among county officials. With the rolls of those liable for service complete, the task of selecting the men to go into the first-Increment of 600,000 will begin. It has been sug gested that this be done by means of the county Jury wheel. The first man whose name Is drawn would go, under that plan, with the first 600,000 to be called out for training within a few months. The second drawn would go with the second increment, to be cull ed six months later; the third with the third Increment, with duty a year off; the fourth with the first Incre ment, and so on.

SPEAKS FOR FRENCH NATION Now All the Forces Of Freedom Are Let Loose and Victory Of Moral ity and Right Is As sured, He Says. Washington. In a statement to the American - press, Rene Vivian), France's Vice-Premier and bead of the war mission from that country, said the co-operation of the United States would mean not only a military vic tory, which already was assured, but a victory of morality and right Ex pressing deep gratitude for the en thusiastic reception given his mission here, M. Vivianl said he realized "it was not to us, but to our beloved and heroic France." M. Vivlanl's statement Is as fol lows: "I promised to receive you after having reserved, as elementary cour tesy required, my first communication solely for the President "I have Jifst had the honor, which I sliared with other members of the mission, of being received by him. I am Indeed happy to have been chosen to present the greetings of the French republic to the illustrous man whose name Is in every French mouth today, whose Incomparable message Is at this very hour being read and com mented upon In all our schools as the most perfect charter of human rights and which so fully expresses the vir tues of your race long-suffering patl ence before appealing to force, and force to avenge that long-suffering patience when there can be no other means. "Since you ore here to listen to me, I ask you to repeat a thousand fold the expression of our deep gratitude for the enthusiastic reception the American people has granted us In Washington. It Is not to us, but to our beloved and heroic France that reception was accorded. "We have come to this land to salute the American people and its Govern ment, to call to fresli vigor our life long friendship, sweet and cordial in the ordinary course of our lives, and which these tragic hours have raised to all the ardor of brotherly love a brotherly love which in these last years of suffering has multiplied its most touching expressions you have given help, not only in treasure, In every act of kindness and good will; for us, your children have shed their blood, and the names of your sacred dead are inscribed forever in onr hearts. And it was with a full knowledge ot the meaning of what you did that you acted.- Your in exhaustible generosity was not the charity of the fortune to the distress ed; It was an affirmation of your con science, a reasoned approval of your Judgment "Your fellow-countrymen knew that under the savage assault of a nation of prey which has made of war, to Quote a famous saying, its national Industry, we were upholding with our Incomparable allies, faithful and vali ant to the death, with all those who are fighting shoulder to shoulder with us on the firing line, tho sons of In domitable England, a struggle for the violated rights ot man, for that democratic spirit which the forces of autocracy were attempting to crush throughout the world. We are ready to carry that struggle on to the end. "And now as President Wilson has said, the republic of the United States rises in its strength as a champion ot right and rallies to the side of France and her allies. Only onr descendants, when time has removed them sufficiently far from present events, will be able to measure the full significance, the grandeur of a historic act which has sent a thrill through the whole world. From today on all the forces of freedom are let loose. And not only victory, of which we were already assured, is certain; the true meaning of victory is made manifest; it cannot be merely a for tunate military conclusion to this struggle; It will be the victory of morality and right, and will forever secure the existence of a world in which all our children shall draw free breath In full peace and undisturbed pursuit of their labors. "To accomplish this great work, which will be carried to completion, we are about to exchange views with the men In your Government best qualified to help. The co-operation of the republic of the United States In this world conflict Is now assured. We work together as free men who are resolved to save the Ideals ot mankind." NO MORE SIX-CENT LOAVES.

CLEANING HOUSE IN EUROPE (Copyright.) $400,000100 FOR ALLIES EACH MONTH To Aid in Supplying Armies With Supplies. BIGGEST SUM FOR BRITAIN All To Be Expended In This Country. McAdoo Contemplating Addi tional Issues Of Treas ury Certificates. Washington. Preliminary reports to the Treasury Department, upon which Secretary McAdoo will base his recommendations to the President as to the slie of the first bond issue under the $7,000,000,000 war finance law, indicate that the United States will be called upon to finance the Allies to the extent ot at least $400, 000,000 and possibly $500,000,000 a month. Biggest 8um For Britain. The tentative program also calls for the expenditure ot virtually every dol lar of the borrowed money in this country for foodstuffs, munitions, coal, clothing, railway equipment and other supplies. The estimates, still Incomplete and subject to revision, indicate the fol lowing Entente needs: For Great Britain, $200,003,000 to $200,000,000 a month; for France, from $100,000,000 to $125,000,000; for Rus sia, sum undetermined, but up to $100,000,000 a month, depending large ly upon the ability of manufacturing plants in this country to meet her de mands, mostly for supplies other than foodstuffs and munitions; for Italy, about $50,000,000 a month. May Pare Estimates. Should these requirements be met in their entirety, the $3,000,000,000 available for lending the Allies would be exhausted In from six to seven and one-halt months. It is likely, however, that the preliminary estimates can be pared down to a point where, without omitting essentials, the huge loan could be made to cover requirements for a much longer period ot time, pos sibly for one year. Indications were not lacking that Mr. McAdoo would consider favorably the suggestion that he offer soon an other block of Treasury certificates to the banks of the country through the Federal Reserve Banks. The sec ond offering, it was said, probably would be the same sire as the first $250,000,000 and might be offered within 10 days. Should the Govern ment decide to finance the Allies to the extent of $500,000,000 a month ap proximately $1,000,000,000 would be needed to meet requirements prior to June 30, the date upon which the first proceeds of the bond Issue probably will be available. Withdrawing money from the mar kets at the rate of $250,000,000 every two or three weeks by the issues of blocks ot certificates, officials belie.ve, would be preferable to a sudden call for proceeds of a $2,000,000,000 bond Issue. Thus should $1,000,000,000 in certificates be Issued prior to June 30 half of a $2,000,000,000 bond Issue will virtually have been withdrawn from the money markets prior to its issue, as the certificates carry the conver sion privilege and doubtless would be exchanged for bonds. In this manner, it is thought, the banks of the country will be In a strong position to meet the strain of war financing and minimum disturb ance of financial conditions would result AUTOI3T FRACTURES SKULL.

France's war com missioners to the United States reach ed Washington on board tho Presi dential yacht Mayflower. Powers Unlimited. The mission, of which Rene Vivianl, Vice-Premier and Minister of Justice, Is the official head and Marshal Joffre a member, brings no written Instruc tions from the French Government, the Ministry having decided to give Its members unlimited powers to negotiate with the United States on all subjects, military, naval and finan cial. It is proposed to discuss the send ing of an American' expeditionary force to France. Marshal Joffre and other military members will indicate to the American officials with whom they are to confer several important military reasons which they consider renders the sending of such a force advisable. The most Important ot these reasons is found in the moral effect to be had from the presence of American troops and the American flag on the battlefields of France. Plan Worked Out ( The French idea of an American ex pedition calls for a fighting force sup ported by auxiliary services, such as railway staffs, railway material, base repair shops, telegraph and telephone lines, automobile transport and a strong aviation section.

FIRST ACT OF WAR APRIL 19 Gun Sighted By Lieutenant Bruce Ware Captain Rice Tells Of Encounter U-Boat Was Close. London. Captain Rice, of the American steamship Mongolia, which has Just arrived at a British port, told how the Mongolia had fired the first gun of the war for the United States and sunk a German submarine. The submarine, Captain Rice said, was about to attack the great liner in British waters on April 19. He de clared there was absolutely no doubt that the U-boat was hit and that there was every reason to believe It was destroyed. The naval gunners on board the Mongolia made a clean hit at 1,000 yards. The periscope was seen to be shattered. The gunners are under command o Lieut Bruce Ware, U. 8. N., who sighted the gun from which the shot was fired. Even more pertinent a fact, as re gards the ultimate fate of the sub marine, was that the shell disappeared Immediirtely after the hit was made. The captain stated that a shell always ricochets on the waters and can be seen again unless It finds the mark. Oil also was seen on the water after the submarine disappeared. The Mongolia was going at full speed and was a long distance away when the spray and foam subsided, but from the bridge the officers ob served the spot through their glasses, and they are confident the submarine was sunk. The periscope was sighted dead ahead on the last afternoon of the voyage. The captain gave tho order for full speed ahead with the Inten tion of -ramming the submarine. The periscope disappeared and a few moments later reappeared on the ship's broadside. The gunners fired, hitting the periscope squarely and throwing a mountain of water. Captain Rice outlined the Incident with modesty, but could not quite conceal the pride he felt In the achievement of his ship. He paid a high tribute to the gunners and especially to the manner In which they were handled by the officer who directed the firing of the telling shot. "For five days and nights," said Captain Rice, "I hadn't had my clothes off, and we kept a big force of look outs on duty all the time. It was 5.20 o'clock In the afternoon of the 19th that we sighted the submarine. The officer commanding the gunners was with me on the bridge where, In fact, we had been the most ot the time throughout the voyage.' "There was a haze over the sea at the time. We had Just taken a sound ing, for we were getting near shal low water and we were looking at the lead when the first mate cried: 'There's a submarine off tho port bow.' U-Boat Close At Hand. "The submarine was close to us too close, in fact for her purposes and she was submerging again In or der to maneuver in a better position for torpedoing us when we sighted her. "We saw the periscope go down and the swirl of the water. I quickly or dered a man at the wheel to put it to starboard and we swung the nose of the ship toward the spot where the submarine bad been seen. "We were going at full speed ahead and two minutes after we first sighted the U-boat it emerged again about 1,000 yards off. Its intention probably had been to catch us broadside on, but when It appeared we had the stern gun trained full on it. Big Guns Boom. "The lieutenant gave the command and the big guns boomed. We saw tho periscope shattered and the shell and the submarine disappeared. "I can't speak too highly of the cool manner in which the - lieutenant handled his crew of gunners. It was a fine exhibition of the efficiency of American naval men. The lieutenant knew before the shell struck the sub marine . that Its aim was accurate. There is no guess-work about it, but a case of pure mathematics. All Over In Two Minutes. "Taking the speed at which the Mongolia was traveling at the time and the speed which the submarine undoubtedly would make, and com puting these figures with the distances we were from the submarine when it was first sighted and when it appeared the second time, it can be shown that the lieutenant had his gun sighted to the inch. And it must be remembered that the whole affair took only two minutes. "I assure you we didn't stop to reconnoiter after the incident, but steamed away at full speed, for it was not Improbable that there was another submarine about The one I got un doubtedly had been lying on the bot tom at this spot waiting for the ship and came up when it heard our pro pellers. I Immediately sent a wireless message stating that submarine had been seen." No Comment At Washington. Washington. The policy of the Government is to make no announce ment or comment upon the destruction of a German submarine by the steam er Mongolia at this time. Keep Driving the Turks. London.

FOOD PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN Cold Storage Houses Are Filled With Poultry Eggs and Fish, However, Held Only In Small Quantities Throughout State. Harrisburg. In all the preparedness and con servation activities that are going for ward, possibly no other has a stronger economic value than the Eyre bill, No. 484, that was put into the Appropria tions Committee's hands early In the month. This was declined to estab lish a bureau of homes separate from the State Agricultural Department of Home Economics, and would carry with it an appropriation of $30,000 for two years. The work is to be con ducted throughout the counties, in co-operation with county agents, per haps, but at any rate directly reach ing the farm women and their prob lems. Efficiency In the farm home will enable the farm woman to live more comfortably, and to raise the efficiency of the farm Itself. A talk on "Gardens," by Dr. Jane Leslie Klft, showed that women arc Just as busy getting ready for their flower gardens as they are looking up the -natter of vegetables. Unfortu nately, much money will be was'od tit In year In the frantic scramble for vegetable gardens put In by people Mho have never tried any kind of planting before. I' was brought :ut by ihe questions at the meeting that many of the women are going to give ui' a portion of their flower-bed patches to vegetables, hut most ot these women have gardened somen hat every year for several' seasons, and will probably be able to bring their work to harvest period. The new gardeners will more likely get dis couraged before many weeks are out, and only in a few Instances will there be any profit in the work. The cold storage reports for the first quarter, ending March 31, show that poultry and beef were held In con siderable quantities, up to April 1, at least. More poultry than haa ever before been known to bo In cold stor age in Pennsylvania was In the ware houses at the beginning ot this month, when there was 7,059,751 pounds, as compared with 2,365,351 pounds on the same date Jn 1916. The reports as compiled by James Foust. Dairy and Food Commissioner, show that eggs in storage are at low ebb, but that butter shows an Increase over the same period a year ago. The warehouses were virtually cleaned out of eggs during January and Febru ary, and tho beginning ot tho month showed only 104,337 dozen on hand, with 267,742 pounds of the product out of tho shell. The season for plac ing eggs In storage Is April and May and large quantities are expected to he put away, desplto tho failure of the prlco to come down to the former summer standard. Twenty-seven of the seventy-two cold storage houses In the state did not contain any food products at the beginning ot the month and the hold ings of eggs and meat were scattered among twenty of the largest concerns Twenty-nine houses reported butter on storage, while twenty-foiw were holding poultry. The approach ot the fishing season brought a decided drop In the amount of that food In storage and there were only 1,153,977 pounds, as compared with 3,126,675 pounds three months ago. Large exports of beef and pork have reduced these holdings and there are reported 554,259 pounds of carcasses of beef and 1,402,570 pounds of parts cf carcasses. This Is an Increase of almost 1,000,000 pounds, as compared with the sametlme lust year, but a decrease over the figures of three months ago. Pork shows a slight increase, with 26.C80 carcasses and 1,827,882 pounds ot parts of carcasses. Mutton and veal are below me usual holdings Seven warehouses a"e holding mutton, while fifteen contain pork. Patriotism and preparedness hit Bryn Mawr College with a bang about two weeks ago, and a number of things are being worked out by the students along that line. Now the question of supplying a course In farm ing Is being Investigated by the stu dent organization and several alumnae have coupled with that Idea a sugges tion that a portion of the campus be usod to raise crops. Students Turn Farmers. Under the direction of Dr. Wilmer F. Burns, assisted by the school teach ers of the public schools, the pupils of Gloucester City have established more than 100 gardens, and additional plots will be planted. At the Jersey avenue public school the pupils have transformed the yard Into a large gar den In which they are growing onions, tomatoes, radishes and corn. City Su perintendent Burns has announced that all school children who desire to work on farms In compliance with the call of Governor Edge, may do bo, and they will be graduated. Prisoners Plant Potatoes. Short-term prisoners from the Bucks County Jail have planted- nearly 14 bubhels of seed potatoes on a tract offered by Joseph Rich. Well-known women of the Doylestown section, affiliated with the Red Cross, put on old garments and gloves and prepared tho seed potatoes for planting, and following agreement with the Board of County Commissioners, that "trust ed, short-term prisoners could be used to do the.work of planting, under prop er guards," the big pile of seed pota toes were all planted. yiiiiiniiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiimj nrxmievi rtJS 1 BRIEFS miimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinii "'wiiiik' Physicians and dentists o J ter county are enrolling and ready to respond when callm ur&i uuc iu bibu, ur. j, w 83 years old, is In fid Q,.H...
