Wilmington Eliminated From
President Wilson Wants As
sure Absolute Fair Play in
i the Drawing
EXPLANATION MADE
BY THE GOVERNMENT
Exemption Regulations and
Other Moves Fully Approv
ed by the President Re
ports From States Causing
Delay.
( By Associated Press.V A
Washington, July iz. .Persistent In
quiries from all parts of the country
for inf"i ni:ition about the method to
be followed in selecting meu for the
National War Army caused War De
partment officials to explain today
that President Wilson's determination
to have absolute fairness govern the 1
process was responsible tor tne de
cision to withhold announcement of
the exact plan until the very eve of
the drawing.
The exemption regulations and all
other moves in the making of the new
army have received the approval of
the President personally and the draft
regulations also will come from the
White House. All that is known now
is that the drawing will be from serial
j numbers corresponding to numbers on
I registration cards and that it will take
place in Washington, probably at- tire
capitol.
Secretary Baker or some other high
official will draw the first number
and the process of selection will be
pushed forward until there is flashed
by telegraph to every community in
the country the numbers of the men
drawn. It is understood that the sys-J
tem planned is so simple that the.
work will be done in a few hours.
So far, only 21 States have reported I
to the provost marshal general's of
fice the completion of their organiza-;
tion. In some of them the names and j
serial numbers of the men liable to j
draft already have been posted. The
first city to report the completion of
that part of her work was Kansas
City.
Some fear was felt at the War De
partment today that the delay in or
ganization might cause further post
ponement of the draft. It has been
believed that the drawing might take
Place Saturday -of this week. It then
became evident that it could not be
held beforp next week and indications
today were that it might be the latter
Part of thp next week before every
thing waii readyr One -ef-the States
where there has ben the most con
fusion in organization is New York.
The new estimates of population
niade by the Census Bureau as a basis
for the draft, it is explained, is not
t be takrn as a genuine indication of
the actual population of cities and
communities.
A? roon as the local organizations

trict exemption brjrds will be an

General Brusiloffs offensive in Ga-.
licia is developing into a drive with
little or no let up, at least as far as.
the pajt in it played by General
Korniloff's armies is concerned.
Yesterday's news of the capture of
Halicz was. followed
nouncement that Generar
troops has pushed on beyond Lesiuvj
ka, southwest of Stanislau, and
reached and occupied Kalusz, a city
of 8,000 population, 7 miles to the
west of the Stoka river. The Austro-
German headquarters in this sector
was situated here.
Kalusz was stubbornly defended,
but after' a sanguinary battle, the
Rnssians pushed into the town and,
according to advices from Petrograd,
they are continuing their advance af
ter having taken a large number of
prisoners.
The German attack on Monday on
the Belgian coast ceased with the
capture of the small sector east of
the Yser, which the Germans had de
vastated with their intensive gun-fire.
Neither last night's nor today's Brit
ish official announcement records any
further fighting of moment in this
region, although the artillery is con
tinuing active:
A German raid near Lombaertzyde
was driven off by the British.
On the Verdun front, the German
Crown Prince made a number of at
tacks on both banks of the Meuse.
All these assaults delivered in the
vicinity of Hill 304 on the one side
of the stream, and north of the Har
daumont work, on the other, were re
pulsed by the French, as were attacks
on the Aisne front, south of Juvin
court, and in the region tjf the Trian

Washington, July 12. Democrit-

well nigh impossible to reconcile con

bill, decided today to appeal to Pres'
dent Wilson to outline his opinion of i
what compromises shonld be argued J
to hasten action on the measure.
The Senate Agriculture committee
decided today not to mak any en

Raleigh, July 12. Governor Bick-
ett yesterday named the board of
trustees for the North Carolina Ortho
pedic Hospital which is to be built
near Gastonia. The site has been se
lected and the work will soon start.
For the 6 year term F. C. Harding, of
Greenville; M. B. Spier, of Charlotte;
and R. B. Babington, of Gastonia; for
the 4 year term, R. R. Ray, of Mc-j
Adenville; George Blanton, of Shelby,
and J. Lee Robinson, of Gastonia, and
for the 2 year term, J. H. Giles, Glen
Alpine; W. C. Bivens, of Wadesboro,
and Rev. A. D. Wilcox, of Goldsboro,
have been appointed as trustees. This
hospital" was created by an act of the
19J7 General Assembly.
of the State may be attended by one
or more of them this year. The plans
decided upon would make it possible
for a representative of the Baptist
schools and organizations to attend
all these meetings.
The Raleigh commissioners has
announced that the $l,Ouo appropria
tion to the Chamber of Commerce
would be discontinued next year and
the budget by which the city will be
run next year has several thousands
absent that hitherto went freely to
sundry services.
The presence of Judge Albert Cox
here today inspired among his back
ers against S . Glenn Brown, of
Greensboro for the colonelcy of the
volunteer regiment of artillery the
feeling of certain success. The judge
had been holding court in Montgom
ery and the bar of that county had
begged him not to quit. It handed
him a delicate tribute on his court
there and urged him to remain on the
bench. But Judge Cox's presence
here was made the ground for a gen
eral suspicion that Governor Bickett
is ready to give the leadership of that
regiment to the Raleigh man.
Rumors of a third man, nameless
as yetj went thick and fast Tuesday
afternoon.
Governor Bickett's delay in appoint
ing a colonel was understood to have
had other reasons than inability to
make up his mind between Brown
and Cox. There is a judgeship on his
hantls the moment Judge Cox r3tires.
Ail' about Raleigh it was said today
that the Governor does not intend to
have his life worried out of him by
a Judgeship.
At the State College of Agriculture
and Engineering yesterday the Rotary
Cltib and the Chamber of Commerce
were special guests of the Home
Economics Department of summer
school. Miss Hatch and Mrs. Kate
Brew Vaughn who are directing this
w;ork at the school prepared the meal
which was a delicious work of culin
aty art. It was served by the score or
more of the girls attending the school.
At the conclusion of it Prof. D. F.
Giles was introduced as toastmaster
and as the man who is to be State
superintendent.
Winston-Salem men were chesty to-day-
when they . found out that they
have a' government census of 55,161
as against Charlotte's 48,509 and Wil

Washington D C., July 12. If Sec
retary of War Baker can get time this
evening it is probable he will definite
ly decided whether to put the National
Guard cantonment at Fayetteville or
Charlotte. Secretary Baker is about
the busiest man in the world from 8
o'clock in the morning until midnight,
and he may or may not be able to
reach the North Carolina cantonment
matter today. General Garlington, of
the army general staff, who handles
all the details regarding camp sites,
stated at noon that all the papers in
the case, including his report ani the
recommendations of General Leonard
Wood, commander of the Southeastern
Department, are before Mr. Baker in
such shape that the Secretary can

' ' It is generally ueiicyeu,. auu wc uc-

GRAVE QUESTION
OF CAR 5HDRTACE
BEING CONSIDERED
By Interstate Commerce Com
.. mission For Purpose of
Providing Remedy
CREATION OF CAR
SERVICE DIVISIONS
Is Announced by the Com
mission Will Deal
With Present Sit
uation. (By Associated Press.) .
Washington, July 12. Creation of a
division of car service to, deal with
the movement, distribution, exchange,
interchange, and return, of freight
cars, was announced today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
E. H. DeGroot has been appointed
chief of the division. A. G. Gutheim
will have executive charge of the
organization and its operation assist-
cotnmiq
through
out the country, through direct orders
to the carriers, with the purpose of
dealing , with. ar. shortage and seeing
that troops, war materials and neces
sary supplies are moved promptly.
The - urgent necessity for regulation
in the ' distribution of cars has been
pointed out" to the comnnaaion many
times by both shippers and carriers,
despite the efforts of the railroads,
certain sections have suffered more
than others from shortages. Ship
pers from the southeast and the Pa
cific northwest recently told the com
mission ' that thousands of carloads
pf lumber and other' commodities in
those sections have been held for
.months at mills and' factories, be
cause of failure to. get cars for their
movement.
The carriers have appointed local
car service committees at 25 points
and the National Industrial Traffic
League has named. similar bodies rep
resenting shippers at the same points.
These commissions will hold joint
.meetings to insure prompt and effi
cient adjustment of local traffic prob
lems. Irreconcilable differences, it
is expected, will be submitted to both
the carriers commission and the In
terstate' Commerce Comission's
service division. f
The new "division will develop field
forces . . quickly, and probably will
place agents in many of the great traf
fic centers ' to facilitate adjustments
in local shortages, congestions and
other problems..
