DRAWING IS SET FOR JULY 16

Personnel of Draft Board to Be Announced Soon. Washington, D. C., July Monday, July 16, is the day tentatively Mixed for the first drawing for the national army. The personnel of the board that will conduct this drawing for the entire country here will be announced shortly. Provost Marshal-General Crowder will have immediate charge of the drawing. Each number drawn will have a duplicate in each registration district. For instance, if No. 3 should be drawn it would call out No. 3 in every registration district in the country. 'Names of the men drawn are to be made public by the , adjutant-gen-eral of each state. The state, appeal exemption boards have been made up. The President expects to announce them this week. «■ Pressure brought to bear by governors of states has induced the war department to give up its plan to delay the calling out of the national guard until August 8. Secretary Baker has definitely

announced that the guard will be called out, as originally planned, on July 15, July 25 and August 5. When drafted into the federal service the entire national guard- however, will be drafted as of July 15, so that there will be no inequality in the relative rank of officers. Objections of governors to delaying the draft were based on the fact that all over the country national guardsmen have resigned their positions or made arrangements for leaves of obsence dating from the time of their call, and jin most instances new men have I been employed to take their places, "it would cause inconvenience both J

to men and employers to delay the call, the governors pointed out.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Where’er the German soldier walks, destruction, like his shadow, stalks. He comes upon some oldworld town, on which the ages have looked down, a town, perhaps, whose crumbling walls were builded by the ancient Gauls, as a protection for their home against the coriquerer from Rome.. All legended.and gray with age—the German wrecks it in his rage, and strews the storied buildings round, in blackened ruins, on the ground. The grand cathedral, which uprears, as it has done, a thousand years, its noble steeple to the sky, must in a heap of wreckage lie. Where’er the German soldier wends, all decent human feeling ends; should he, advance, or yet retire, he marks his path with death, and fire.. The kaiser throws his men away; “Let them be slain, if they shall slay; advance, however great the loss, and draw on me for one iron cross.” This, is the spirit of Red Bill: “What is the difference who we kill, or what we ruin and deface, though we may shock the human race, so we have gained another trench, or foiled the British or the French?’’ This is the savage foe we’ll meet —and batter till he owns defeat.

—DAIAC—- — ■——i; >c Gfe Most Beautiful Car in/tinerica 'te"* July 15th—On This Date Paige Prices Will Be Advanced We have formally announced that the list price of every car in the Paige line will be very substan* tially incre'ased on July 15th. We have explained that this step is unavoidable because of the steadily advancing costs of manu' facturing materials, labor and all elements entering into the production of a quality product. In making this advance announcement, we feel that we have done complete justice Jto the many hundreds of people who have been planning to purchase one of our cars. They now know definitely when the increased prices are sched' uled to take effect, and Will be guided accordingly. There is one very important point, though, that we would like to emphasize at this time. Owing to the scarcity of materials, our production between now and July 15th will necessarily be limited We are doing all that we possibly can to keep step with public demand, but it is a foregone conclusion that there will not be .enough Paiges to go round As a last thought in regard to this matter of price, please remember that the Paige has long since demonstrated its independence of all “price fields “ American men and women now buy a Paige —not because of the price tag which is attached, to it—but because of its well estab' lished reputation as a fine mechanical product.
