but everywhere have advanced in this
region south of St. Quentin.
East of Rheims, Gen. Gouraud, in ad

prisoners and guns, has captured great
quantities of booty, including more

general's office was set in motion to
finally check the master list and mail
copies to 156 district draft boards
throughout the country which are to
make them available immediately to

The 'last of the 17,000 numbers which

who registered September 12 was taken
from the big glass bowl in the caucus
room of the senate office building at
exactly 8 o'clock this morning. Gen
eral Crowder drew out the capsule
arhich. contained No. 12,734. The draw
ing, which was started at. noon yester
day by President Wilson, had been
completed in six hours less than the
estimated time due to a race which
developed between the shifts of young
offioers charged with the drawing.
During the first check of the tally
sheets today only one number was
found displaced. The correction" was
easily made from the tally wires on

by district boards will be governed by
the distance they are located from

instructed to make them public im

capsules from the bdwl today order
numbers had been given to approxi
mately 24,000,000 registrants. Numbers

WILL URGE FIXING OF
WHEAT PRICE AT $2.50
Senators and Representatives and
Others, Will Appoint. Committee to
Call On President.
Washington, Oct. 1. Senators and
representatives from wheat growing
states an officials ' of the National
Wheat Growers association in confer
ence here tonight decided to appoint
a special committee to urge upon
President Wilson Immediate action fix
ing the price of wheat for 1919 at $2.50
a bushel.
The president will, be told that this
price is necessary for the protection,
of most wheat growers over the coun
try, who under the present price of
$2.20 a bushel plus the freight differ
ential, will not be able to raise wheat
at a profit. . ,
Appointment Of a special committee
to investigate the cost of the produc
tion also will be requested, it was an
nounced, but in the meantime, an in
creased price will, be sought.
Dr. William J. Spillman, chief of the
office of farm management of the de
partment of agriculture, presented to
the conference tonight figures compil
ed by his office designed to show that
a price' of $t.5Q. bushel is essential If
the niaximum production is' to be at
tained next year. - ;
Speakers insisted that the president
had been misinformed s to the. in
crease in , the ;cost of .flour that would
result from 12.50 wheat. They .said
the, added cost on a I barrel of flour
would be 90. cents instead of - the $2

and should-, be. absorbed by the Ameri

S November Elections.
rashington, Oct. 1. The senate to
refused to grant the request of the
president that the woman suffrage res
olution be passed as a war measure.
iVfter five days of bitter debate, cor
ridor "conferences and cloakroom nego
tiations, the Susan B. Anthony federal
amendment resolution enacted by the
h-dase last January received on the
flo roll-call two votes less than- the
paired.
Before the vote was announced. Sen
ator Jones of New Mexico, chairman
of the woman suffrage committee, to
comply with parliamentary require
ments, changed his vote from the af
firmative to the - negative, and moved
that the senate reconsider. This made
the final official record 53 to 31 and
left the. resolution technically pending
on the senate calendar in position for
further consideration planned after
the November elections when suffrage
forces hope to muster the requisite
number of votes.
President Wilson's personal address
to the senators yesterday, supplement
ed by letters today to several demo
cratic senators opposed to, the resolu
tion did not change a single vote al
though in the final debate some sena
tors asserted that defeat of the resolu
tion would mean repudiation of the
executive. Including the - absent and
paired senators, the roll-call showed
that the senate line up of 62 to 34 on
the resolution remained virtually un
changed from the beginning of the
fight last Thursday.'
Chairman Jones and other cham
pions of the resolution declared after
today's j vote that the v defeat is only
temporary and that the contest will be
reviewed, after the November elections
when changes in memberships are cer
tain.
Administration leaders also admit

country with tank mines, apparently

British-made tanks, many of them'
manned by American crews, are co-op

of these rolled over a mine and was
blown up, one casualty resulting. The
others got through and did splendid
execution.
These American tank crews were
trained in England and had been wait
ing behind the front for the attacks.
They rolled along before the infantry
and directly in the rear of a creeping
barrage and cleared many machine gun
nests.
After the manner of the British, the
Americans drove . their machines right,
on top of the Germans, crushing down
men, guns and nests. Some of the
crews came out ; of the fight with their
tractors dripping with blood, showing
how cpmpletely they had accomplished
the task assigned to them.

Budapest quotes the newspaper of that
city as saying that a crown council

sary as a result of Bulgaria's action
were taken to guarantee an . effective

striving at the earliest possible mo
