FROM
EUREKA SPRING,
Graham, N. C.
A valuable mineral spring
has been discovered by W. H.
Aualey on his place in Graham.
It was noticed that it brought
health to the users of the water,
and upon being analyzed it was
found to be a water strong in
mineral properties and good
for stomach and blood troubles.
Physicians who have seen the
analysis and what it does,
recommend its use.
Analysis and, testimonials
will be furnished upon request.
Why btly expensive mineral

there is a good water recom
mended by physicians right at
home? For further informa

and Time of Attack.
Washington.—The American steam
ship Orleans, of the Oriental Naviga
tion company, has been torpedoed and
sunk by a submarine. Four of the
crew were drowned, but all members
of the armed naval guard were saved.
The state department, announcing
the sinking, withheld the place and
the time of the attack.
•_3. /
New York. —The Orleans, a vessel
of 2,808 tons gross, left here June 18
with a cargo for France, commanded
by Capt. Allen D. Tucker. Ot her
crew; of thirty-six, ten were American
citizens.
After Germany announced unre
stricted submarine warfare, the Or

SELECTION OF NEW
ARMY NEAR AT HAND.
Offlolals Are Silent But Drawings Will
Likely Take Place Thia Week.
Washington.—Selection day (or the
new national army Is approaching rap
idly aa the local exemption boards la
the various states complete their or
ganisation, glva serial numbers to th«
registration cards and forward certi
fied copies to Provest Marshal Gen
eral Crowder. Indications are that
the drawing will be held this week, but
no official statment has Men made as
to the war department's plans.
Administration officials still main
tain strict silence as to the method to
ba i followed, but the recent statement
by Secretary Baker that the drawing
would be held In Washington, coupled
with the atrea laid upon the serial
numbering of registration cards, indi
cates the general outline of the plan.
It is understood that it la proposed to
place in a single Jury wheel In Wash
ington one complete set of numbers.
YBien 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, approximately
30,000 men will be drafted, or one in
each exemption district. If 1,200,000
men are to be called before the ex
emption boards in the first selection,
which seems highly probable, pnly
forty numbers would need to ba
drawn.
There are numerous complications
which must arise and the method of
solving them can be known only when
the plan in detail Is made. For In
stance, the number of registered In
dividuals in each district who are lia
ble for military service will certainly
not be the same. Aliens are regis
tered, but not liable for duty.

stationed throughout the state who
will make simultaneous attempts to

Federal officers have been ap
praised of the plot, and every effort
will be made te apprehend those con

COOPERATE IN HOOTING SPIES
PERPLEXING PROBLEMS THAT
MUST BE MET IN STAMPING
OUT EVIL.
Have Come to America In Effort to
Run Down German Agents.—Many
Bchemes Set on Foot by Detectives.
Washington.—Blore complete and
efficient co-operation of United States
secret service agents with those of
Its European allies Is recognized aa
the great problem that must be met
In stamping out the spy evil.
While It was stated that operatives
of the state, war, navy, and justice
departments are co-operating with
good results in running down active
alien enemies, it was strongly Indicat
ed that much remained to be accom
plished In relationships with the ser
vices of foreign countries.
Representative* of the allies al
ready are In this country, It la under
atood, and are working to bring about
the desired co-operative action. This
work, (or ebvloun reasons, could not
be considered seriously before the
United States entered the war, and
the working out of the ramifications
of a co-ordination scheme require un
usual discussion, as well as time tor
setting the actual machinery in mo
tion.
The secret service of the United
States was confronted at the entrance
of America into the war with a pro
gram of discouraging magnitude. The
machinery of the departments, built
up almost entirely ior the handling
of domestic problems, was suddenly
required to shoulder the Immense bur
dent of coping with thousands of plot
ters and spies.
Many schemes set on foot by enemy
plotters have been thwarted and It Is
said that the archives of the depart
ments contain records of activities,
which would, if made known, be of
startling nature.
That the attacks upon American
transport* were the result of the work
of spies Is accepted generally In
Washington without surprise. The
sailing of transports, although not
mentioned by the newspapers, was
known to a large number of persons,
who wltnesed the transfer of troops
from point* In the United States and
their departure.
WASHINGTON GRATIFIED

NATIBNAL GUARDS '
CALLED JO SERVICE
PRESIDENT IBBUEB PROCLAMA
TION CALLING GUARDSMEN
INTO RANKB.
TO SEE SERVICE IN FRANCE
Guardemen Will be Mobilized July IB
and 28 and Will Enter Federal Ser
vice August s—Then Available For
Foreign Duty.
Washlngotn.—The last step neces
sary to make the entire national guard
available for duty in France was taken
by President Wilson with the* Issu
ance of a proclamation drafting the
state troops Into the army of the Uni
ted States on August t. To make cer
tain that the purpose of the national
defense act Is carried out, the proc- i
tarnation also specifically declares the
men drafted to be discharged from the j
old militia status on that date. Is
that way, the constitutional restraint a
upon the use of militia outside the tl
country is voided and the way paved v
for sending the regiments to the Euro- .
pean front. I
Prior to the application of the draft,
reglmjfets in the northern and eastern
section of the country are called Into
the federal service as national guards
men In two Increments, to be mobil
ized on July IS and 25. Many units al
ready are federalized and presumably
they will be mobilized with the other
torops from their states. The guard
from the other states will be mobilised
on the day of the draft. The arrange
ment was necessary to provide for
movement of the regiments south to
concentration camps without conges
tion, and to the same end the division
of states into these Increments was
revised from the original schedule.
The operative date of the draft was
delayed until August 6 so that all reg
iments can be taken Into the army
simultaneously to avoid inequalities In
the relative rank of officers.
Fourteen Camps Selected.
Fourteen camp sites for the sixteen
tactical divisions into which the guard
will be organized for war purposes
have been selected and the militia bu
reau Is preparing the railway routing
of the troops to the camps. Seven of
the sites selected are In the southeast
ern department, five In the southern
and two In the western. The two oth
ers will be In the southeastern depart
ment, and until they are approved as
signment of regiments to camps and
divisions cannot be fully worked out.
The only two dlvlsiens positively as
signed are the nineteenth, Including
the California guard, which will go to
Lynda Vista, Cal.", and the twentieth
Including Oregon, Washington and oth
er states in the northwest, which win
go to Palo Alto. Cal.

the principal food crop* In 4)10 re
sponse American farmers bare made
to President Wilson's mid-April ap
peal saying that upon them "rests the
rate of the war and the fate of na
tions."
Tte extent of the farmers' response
was disclosed when a production of
6,093,000,000 bushels of principal food
crops was forecast In the department
of agriculture's July crop report. It
shows this year's corn crop will be
the largqgt In history, except one, and
that possibly Ore, other
crops will make'new high records.
The corn crop, which, with favora
ble weather from now on, may equal
the number yield of 1912, shows an
Increase of (41,000,000 bushels oyer
laat year, with a total of 8,124,000,000
bushel*. The acreage is fourteen per
cent larger than last year.
The combined winter and spring
wheat crop will be 28,000.000 bushels
more than last year's with a total of
678,000.000 bushels.
Rarley, with prospects of the third
largest crop ever grown, will exceed
last year's production by 33,000,000
bushel* with an output of 314,000,000
bushels.
I Oats promise to exceed last year's
crop by 201,000,006 bushels, the total
production being forecast at 1,453,-
066,000 bushels. That la slightly un
der the record. Improvement between

White pottato production of a 22 12

OFFICIAL REPORT BHOWB THAT
THIRTY-SEVEN WERE KILLED
AND 141 WOUNDED.
THREE RAIDERS SHOT DOWN
Most Daring Raid Yet Made by Go*
man Airmen—Contingent Larger
and Desoended Lower Than on Any
Prevloue Raid.
London.—The second descant upon
London by a squadron of airplanes
was made between nine and ten
o'clock In the morning, when the
business section of the metropolis was
most crowded. It was officially an
nounced that thirty-seven person*
were killed and 141 injured' by the
raiders.
Although the German contingent
was larger, more daring, more delib
erative In its methods and descended
much lower than on the visit of June
13, the number of killed and wounded
was, according to the first official roll,
roughly, one-third the previous casual
ty list. This destruction of property
may have been greater, but that it to
impossible to estimate.
The flight of the Germans over Lon
don lasted about twenty minutes. Eng
lish alrmeif engaged the enemy for
several iplnutes over the metropolis,
and anti-aircraft guns were firing
briskly, but without destroying any of
the twenty or more Invading machines.
The admiralty was able to report
however, that navaj airmen who fol
lowed tbem to sea brought down three
machines. A British squadron sent up
from Dunkirk to intercept the return
ing raiders did not encounter them
because they had taken a more north

and destroyed eeven other Oerman
machines.
