WAjSHTVGTON. July II President
Wllaon today came to the support of
the administration food control bill
as originally submitted to congress.
In response to a request from sen
ate leaders for assistance In solving
ths difficulties standing In the way of
action there, the president sent to
Democratic Leader Martin a personal
letter recommending the general pur
poses of the original bill for govern
merit control of foods, feeds and
fuels only. He wrote that he believed
unnecessary the extension of govern
merit control as proposed In amend
merits attached in congress to steel
Iron, copper, cotton, wool, leather
and other products.
Deplores Delay.
The substitute bill drawn by Ben a
tore Gore was opposed by the presl
dent as an emasculation of the ad
ministration legislation. He wrote
that he deplored the delay on the bill
and considered prompt final dispo
sition of the legislation Imperative.
-ine president s letter, which was
not made public, is understood not to
have discussed prohibition In any
rorm. upon reliable authority, how
ever. It was said that in his confer
ence yesterday with the senate lead
ers, the president expressed disagree
ment with the Smoot amendment
adopted by the senate last week, di
recting purchases by the government
of all stocks of distilled beverages in
Don a at cost plus ten per cent.
Upon receipt of the president's let
ter administration leaders prepared to
secure action along the lines suggest
ed. Senators Lodge, Smoot and other
republican leaders were called Into
conference and a meeting of the dem
ocratle steering .committee for next
weex was arranged.
Hoover Opposes Snbetttnte.
food Administrator Hoover, con
ferred with Senator Chamberlain and
added his opposition to the Gore sub
stitute as nullifying the government's
food control plans.
(Further attempts were made . by
Senators Gore and Reed to secure by
parliamentary moves Immediate con
sideration of the Gore substitute.
Vice-President Marshall ruled that
until the pending administration bill
la entirely perfected by amendment,
the Gore substitute will not be in order.
The senate spent the whole day de
bating an amendment designed to
prevent members of the defense coun
cil's advisory commission from sell
ing their own products to the govern
ment. Just before adjournment, Sen
ator Pomerene offered a substitute
which Senatort Chamberlain agreed to
accept, merely prohibiting the com
missioners from working for contracts
In which they have personal interests.
GREAT LOTTERY TO
BE HELD NEXT WEEK
Each State Credited With
Number of Men Now
in Service.
WASHINGTON. July 1. A formal
order by President Wilson drafting
87.O0O men Into the military service
under the selective conscription law,
was promulgated by the war depart
ment today, together with an official
allotment showing what part of the
total must be furnished by each state
and territory.
The only steps now remaining are
distribution toy the governors of state
quotas among the local exemption dis
tricts, and the great lottery, which
probably will be held next week and
which -mtill estajblleh the order Kn
which will establish the order In
selves for service or exemption.
Pill Regular Army.
The men summoned for service will
be used to All the regular army and
national guard to war strength and
to organise the first 600.000 of the
new national army. The total or
these three forces will be 1,262, 96
men. Later smother 600,000 will be
called out, supplemented by sufficient
men to make up looses and maintain
reserve battalions.
In computing the number of men
to be required from the various states,
the government put to the crtallt of
each state every man It now Has in
the national guard and every man It
has contributed since April 1 aa a
war volunteer to the regular army.
Placing on the debit side of the
ledger the national army of 600,000,
the entire national guard at war
strength and the number of war
volunteer needed April 1, laat, to
bring the regulars up to war strength
the grand total was apportioned ac
cording to population. -. This gave a
gross quota lor eacn tax, irom
which ,v net. quota . was .computed by
checking oft the number of national
guardsmen available for federal ser
vice and the number of men given by
the state to the regular army since
April 1. The apportion merit was made
on the basis of an estimated grand
total' for the United States and its
(possessions, of 106,866,066 Inhabi
tants. .
Paper Estimate.
This Is a paper estimate, computed
from registration returns, which
comes within the law requiring dis
tribution of quotas by population, but
which equalises In a great measure
the burden that is to fall upon the
4,659 exemption districts. Each will
furnish under this apportionment the
men Its total registration would Indi
cate as a fair proportion, rather than
the number the actual population of
the district would Indicate. The total
of these gross quotas Is 1.162,986 men.
Credit is given to tne various states
for a total of 456,986 voluntary en

THE WEATHER.
WASHINGTON, July II. Ftwseast
for North Carolina: - Local sdiowera
WASHINGTON, i July 1. Major
General Goetbala, manager of the
shipping board's Emergency Fleet
corporation, took full charge of the
government's ' shipbuilding program
today and announced sweeping plans
for constructing. the great merchant
fleet with which t the United States
hopes to defeat the German submarine
campaign. ''J .
The most Important steps content
plated, are these; .5 s.- : v.
Immediate construction of two gov.
ernmentowned shipbuilding plants
for building 400 fabricated steel ships
of 2,500,000 tonnage.
Commandeering of 1,800,000 tons of
shipping now building tor private ac
count in American yards.
Wants Another Appropriation.
A request for another great ap
propriation for building ships.
General Goethals' announcement
was made in a letter to Chairman Den
man of the shipping boara, which said
the fleet corporation, under powers
Just granted by President Wilson,
would start on Its building program
Monday by offering contracts 'for con
struction of the two government ship
plants' and by outlining to shipbuild
ers, ths plans for commandeering the
vessels under construction.
Chairman Denman, of the shipping
board, who also Is president and dl-1
rector of the corporation and whose
friends had sought for him the powers
conferred on the fleet corporation by
the president, made this statement
after receiving General Goethals' let
ter:
"The board of directors of the. fleet
corporation will be called together
probably Monday to discuss the gen
eral's program- I have no doubt the
directors and the general will have no
disagreement over policy on tne pro
gram he has outlined for us when the
matter has had full discussion."
Final Settlement.
iGeneral 'Goettials . announcement
and Mr. Dwnman's comment were re
garded by the general's friends as In
dicating a final settlement In his favor
of the long drawn out controversy be
tween the two men as to the policy to
be pursued in building ships. Al
though the fleet corporation's board of
directors Is composed of members ncl
employes of the shipping board, it was
said tonight on the highest authority
that the. situation would be so ar
ranged that General IGoethals can
proceed without hindrance.
The fleet corporation. It Is made
clear In General Goethals' announce
ment, will build all the wooden ships
possible, but only after a design ap
proved by the corporation's . naval
architect. This is taken-to mean that
the corporation will construct no ships
of the Hough design, to which the
shipping board Is said to be commit
ted. The Hough design, It was de
clared today, has net-been aeoepted
for ClassWlcatton 'by IJoyd's' because
of the character of Its construction.
General Goethals letter to Mr. Den
man discloses that the fleet corpora
tion has let contracts for 436 ships,
346 of them wood and 77 steel, with
a tonnage of 1,8(0,900 tons, The cost
of wooden ships will be 1143 a ton
and the steel ships, $158.
Contracts for Yards.
Contract for building ths govern
ment yards will be let Monday, on a
basis of cost plus six per cent. Op
tions will be given to contractors to
purchase the plants on completion of
the work.
Proffers that have come to the fleet
corporation for building completed
ships. It was said today, show that
steel ships can be built taster tnan
wood. Steel ships complete, It Is said.
can be turned out within Ave months
from the time work Is begun, while
wooden construction wilt require eight
months.
Ons statement In General Goethals'
letter would Indicate that he does not
agree with Chairman Denman as to
the wisdom of taking over for govern
ment use the Ships under construc
tion, for American and allied citizens.
General Goethals would turn back to
their owners- the vessels com
mandeered for the purpose of speed
ing them up and thus save the gov
ernment money to be expended in
more construction.
Gen. Goethals' Letter.
General Goethale' letter to Chair
man Denman follows:
