In unmeasured terms, however, Mr. Wilson condemned the ship owners of the country for maintaining a schedule of ocean freight rates which has placed "almost insuperable obstacles" in the path of the government. "The fact is," he asserted, **ttiat those who have fixed war freight rates have taken the most effective means in their power to def*at the armies engaged against Germany."

Get Only What He Needs. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind^ July 12.— Wholesale bakers of Indiana who may have feared the effects of the new policy which refuses the return of unsold bread by retailers, have become the most enthusiastic advocates of this new plan of conserving the bread supply of Indiana. Reports received by the state council of defense, which indorsed the campaign of H. E. Barnard, food conservator, prove that the patriotism of the bakers is as dependable as that of the regular army itself.

In Lake county the wholesale bakers have engaged in an advertising campaign that has for Its object the education of the housewife to the plan of ordering bread at a time far enough in advance to enable the retailer to order exactly the quantity of bread he can dispose of without loss.

was shut up in a small room heated to a very high temperature. There was only room in the place for them to stand erect and so crowded they were scarcely able to turn. They were left there twenty-four hours. Then they were led to a factory in the neighborhood, where they were asked if they would go to work. Upon their refusal, they were taken to a field under military escort, divested of their overcoats, shoes, scarfs and hats or caps and exposed in a snow storm an entire day and an entire night, with nothiryr to eat or drink and ur.der the absolute prohibition to make the slightest movement.

Some of them lost consciousness after a few hours of this exposure and all of them were taken to the hospitaia the following day.

The son of a manufacturer of Antwerp, very stout and robust at the time of the deportation, was sent home a physical wreck a short time afterwards. He has since died from the mistreatment. He made the recital of his sufferings to the doctor who treated him and the Belgian government is in possession of the evidence as given to the doctor.

Two soldiers from Havre, Lebris brothers, who escaped from Germany, confirm the evidence regarding the suppllce of the Turkish bath.

deported men have been subjects of simulated execution, sometimes by firing squad and sometimes by" machine grins, in order to overcome their resistance and impress their comrades.

There is also another means of constraint used upon the deported in the form of punishment camps, where the regime Is still more severe than in the other interment camps and where the deported are forced to work in the marshes, often in most excessive cold weather, dressed in nothing but trousers, shirt and wooden shoes, without food during an entire day.

Corporal punishment, the form Ot which is left to the discretion of the Jailers, is frequently employed, such as blows with the butt of a rifle, forced running for periods up to two hours without stopping, under menace of the bayonet, in addition to the practice of tying men to the post.

U. S. MAKING GAS MASKS.

Experts Working Hard to Turn Out Satisfactory Device. WASHINGTON, July 12.—Army orders today disclose the fact that the government and civilian experts are at work on the production ot an effective anti-gas mask for American troops. Major L. P. Williamson, of the medical corps, has been ordered to Pittsburgh, Baltimore and New Haven to inspect laboratory work in this connection being done there. Every American destroyer or other naval vessel which sails for the war zone carries a full equipment of gas masks. Gas shells have been used by the German naval gunners and it was deemed necessary to equip American boats against such devices when the first were dispatched.

Details of Drawing Not to Be Given Out Until Eve of Fatal Day—Only 21 States Report.

WASHINGTON, July 12.—Persistent inquiries from all parts of .the country for information about the method to be followed in selecting men for thr national war army caused war department officials to explain todajr that President "Wilson's determination to have absolute fairness grovern thp process was responsible for the dec! sion 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 numbers corresponding to numbers or, registration cards and that it will take place in Washington, probably at the capitol. Secretary Baker or some other high official will draw the first number, and then the process of selection wili 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 system planned is so simple that the work will be done in a few hours.

So far only twenty-one states have reported to the provost general's offlc® the completion of their organization. In some of them the names and serial numbers of the men liable to draft already have been posted. The first city to report the completion of that part of her work was Kaneas City.

Some fear was felt at the war department today that the delays in organization mipht cause further postponement of the draft It had been believed that the drawing might take place Saturday of this week. It then became evident that it could not be held before next week, and indications

today were that It might be the latter part of next week before everything was r^ady. One of the states where there has been the most confusion in organization is New York.

As soon as the local organizations are complete, appointment of the district exemption boards will be announced. These boards, one or more in each federal Judicial district, will pass upon appeals from the local bodies and will have original Jurisdiction over claims for exemption on account of employment In industrial and agricultural or other necessary enterprise. Nominations for the boards proposed from 45 states already have been sent to tjie president by the provost marshal general's office.
