WILL HAVE TO FURNISH 17C0 MEN (Continued from page one.) quota in the regular army, not quite half the men drawn will have to enter the service at once. These figures are all based on unofficial information, which seems to be trustworthy, that approximately twice ns many men as actually will be needed to make up the first national army of 500,000 and to fill the regular army and the national guard to war strength, will be called. As had already been explained, the- government has no safe guide in estimating the number of men that will be exempted. It knows from past experiences, however, that anywhere from 25 to 40 per cent will be let out because of physical disqualifications and then there are the other legitimate reasons for exempt'on. So to be on the safe side twice as many men as will actually be needed are to be required to respond to the draft. BTEXT WEEK, IT WOW S35E3IS. The adjutant-general estimates that it will require 687,000 rnen to fill the national army of 500.000. bring the regular establishment up to war strength and round out the national guani. Double this number would be 1,374.000. The provost marshal-general's office was not ready today to announce the day of the drawir.g. The names of the various registrants in the various states were still coming in by every mail, but the names of more than one-third of the states were still lacking at noon today. In all probability officials say. the drawing will not take place until the first of next week. In the meantime, the government is doing all it can to acquaint registrants with what will be expected of them after the drawing takes place. Another reminder went out today that every man registered should ascertain his serial number. He will be able to get this from the posted Hats of the men registered in his pi-ecinct. In possession of this information, every registrant then will know, as soon as the numbers drawn are, made public, whether he is to come up for examination.

"S FIRST VET

OF TRENGES HOME Under Fire 18 Months,, Ivan De Villers Back at Work on Railroad. Ivan DeVillers, 314 Indiana avenue, is back in ttie states after eighteen months' .- . v. 1 tVta Fiirnni'Bn war On irviu ii ni ,i. j - -, - -- the side of the allies, with the Canadian troops. Wounded several times by shrapnel and "gassed" DeVillers might easily say he has served his time and claim title to exemption. But the young soldier aged 26 will do nothing of the kind. He wants to go back to the "Big Noise." DeVillers spok'at the Rooster club last evening ami greatly impressed the members with his stories of lil'e in th: war zone. He is by nationality a Boer and when ten years of age was captured by the British during the Boer war and kept in a concentration camp. At the outbreak of the present war he was a broncho buster in Manitoba and joined a Canadian regiment. DeVillers' experience in the trenches disproves the stories that a soldier's life under fire in the present war is only for a few weeks r months. He was in the thick of the fighting around Verdun, at Loan and Tpres and is still on top of the ground. In fact. DeVillers was doubly exposed a great portion of the time as he was in the transport service, bringing supplies to the trenches. The fire of German artillery was centered on the road he traversed while the French and British fire passed over him. The veteran of the European war talked entertainingly of the bomb throwing in the trenches and how adept the British are becoming at this form of fighting. One Tommy, he stated, saved the lives of a dosen companions when a bomb fell in the midst of a group of which he was a member. The soldier put his foot on the bomb. It exploded, tearing his leg away but doing no damage to the other men. A Victoria Cross was awarded for his bravery. DeVillers has an uncle who Is a brigadier general in the British army in East Africa. Upon his return to Hammond DeVillers -secured employment with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. He was discharged from the Canadian army In France as permanently injured. U. S. TO SEEK THE HEALTHIEST MEN Cnttnuert Fro.-n rage On several standing jumps. After this exercise the examination is started. The chest measure should be between thirty-one and thirty-eight and a quarter inches. - The pulse and respiration must be nearly normal and the skin in good condition. 'HHEtTBiIATIS" BARKED. Chronrc rheumatism, old dislocation? and badly united fractures form a disqualification. Chror.ic diseases of any kind -will disqualify the drafted man. The feet should be in fair condition. Pronounced flat feet also disqualifies. The United States will sift out and exempt from fighting service laborers vitally needed in feeding, clothing, supplying and equippng the armies. XEI? TlXEM AT WOBZ. Lest this nation make the mistake England did at the outset, the government will free such men and see to It that they keep at their work. To this a corps of experts today began a list ui industrial activities essential as backstops of the armies in the field. From official sources it is learned the list probably will names farmers as a general class, miners, men in shipbuilding, munitions workers of al classes and every branch of industry that aids directly or indirectly in maintaining the military forces. WEST HAMMOND WANTS A PARK The board of the Sibieski public school in West Hammond, has purchased fifteen lots from Charles Fredrich for school purposr-s. There is a movement on foot in West Hammond to take advantage of the new Illinois park law, a member of the board said today, and it is expected that West Hammond in a short time will acquire land for a city park. jack be; !SEY AT PAVILION The Jack Bessey troupe, playing at Falace pavilion, has proven a drawing card.

Sunday and Monday Mr. Bessey will present a new drama to the public, "The Frince of Society.' DE LUXE THEATER "Because It might hurt the sensibili ties of German-American citiiens and arouse a fee ring against the Gorman.' here." was the excuse Major Funkhouaer. Chicago's deputy superintendent of police and film censor gave for refusing to allow the picture "The Little American," to play In Chicago. The film shows at DeLuxe theatre next week. The picture was shown a few days ago at a private exhibition to 100 Chicago people, representing the city's official, civic, and social life, and ' Funkhouser was ridiculed for his action. "A great timely American play," said one person at the exhibition. Manager Michaelstetter is trying to get the picture for a stay of two or more days in Hammond. Tonight and tomorrow night, William S. Hart, the great dramatic western artist, features In "Wolf Lowry." Friday Alice Joyce and Harry Morey in "Her Secret" and another of those interesting complete stories of "The Neglected Wife" starring Ruth Roland, plays. NEW RECRUITS.

STATE PARDON

m RECOHDATIOIS

TTCXS BUKEATJ AT STATE CAPITA!. INDIANAPOLIS. July 11. Recommendations made to Gov. Goodrich by the state board of pardons, as a result of its recent meeting, were made known at the governor's office today, and it Is understood that the governor will act on the recommendations Thursday. The board made these recommendations: Pardon for Frank Baker, who was sentenced from Elkhart county, June 18.1915. for live to fourteen years for robbery. He has never served any of the time, because Judge James L. Harmon of Elkhart, suspended the sentence. He would have gone to the state prison. Judge Harmon and other recommend clemency: Parole for Edward Dennison, who was sentence! to the . reformatory in 1912 from Vanderburg county for burglary. He was later transferred to the state prison at Michigan City. Dennison had a bad record. He was convicted of assault and battery at Louisville. He broke the rules of the reformatory by using tobacco. After removal to the state prison, where tobacco is supplied to the prisoncis, he had a good record. Two other men who were convicted with him were paroled some time ago. Parole for Joe Webb, nt to the stat M CONGRESS WASHINGTON, July 1 1 President Wilson probably will himself quickly put the screws on dallying congress. With fresh delays resuftins from substituting of a milder food bill in the senate and an agreement to vote thereon July 21. the president today was confronted with Herbert Hoover's direct warning that delay now is perilous. Radical revision of the food bill now before the senate agricultural committee v:ll strip the measure of its present prohibition status. It will be left with a provision to forbid distillation of spirits without providing for seizure of present stock?, while prohibition of beer and wines will be left to the president. Hoover's warning charges that there has been "rampant speculation and extortionate profits" this year among those who barter with America's food supplies. Stability is needed, he says, as every link in the food chain Is taking a wide profit as protection against abnormal fluctuation. SITOATIl ' UICRKI The second day of the barbers' strike in Hammond, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor, found the situation unchanged with the journeymen ad the boss barbers no nearer together than tehy were yesterday morning with the exception that three shops in Hammond and two' in East Chicago have signed the scale. President Walker of the boss barbers, however, denied that these five shops an named In The Times last evening are n3t members of the Calumet Boss Barbers Association. President Kain of the Journeymen stated today that including the three which have signed the new scale there are twelve barber shops in Hammond doing business the same, as bnfore. The majority are those operated by journeymen and are known as one chair shops. Mr. Kain stated that the only advance made by the boss barbers was to apply for their retiring cards and become journeymen barbers, - the supposed plan being that they would conduct one chair shops themselves and let the affair go at that. The cards were denied on the grounds that the barbers did not strike but were locked out. The journeymen claim they had planned to strike at a later date but were told to get out andj

It is said his parents need him. Parole for Claude Baker who has been in the state prison from Vanderburg county for eight years for burglary, in a case where only $1.50 was stolen. The board took up this case without any petition being filed. Parole for Roy Rigs, sentenced to the reformatory in 1915 from Lawrence county for stealing an automobile. Paroles for Peck and Clarence Button, sentenced from Pulaski county because they broke into a store and stole candy, tobacco and gloves. Commutation of sentences were recommended by the board in the following cases: Harry Jones, Lake county, burglary, ten to twenty years; John Eurke, Elkhart county, state prison, burglary, ten to twenty years; Ross DuPont, St, Joseph county, reformatory, burglary, ten to twenty years; Henry Wilson, colored, Monroe county, reformatory, burglary, ten to twenty years. The board did not recommend clemency in any murder cases that were beefore it. they therefore consider it a lockout and blame the boss barbers for precipitating the trouble. JUDGE GEM Judge C. E.

WARNING- AGAINST OVER-CONFIDENCE BV CARL D. GROAT. WASHINGTON. July 11. Official warning was given here today that the American public must not regard the German situation as offering any great hope at the present time. Press reports and official information show ttiere is practically no criticism of fifimany's military effort and officials say Germany can sacrifice Zimmerman, Helfferich and Hollwegr without staying the actual conduct of the war, as long as there Is no complaint against the war lords, Hlndenburg and Ludendorf. Authorities here say the situation Is one strictly of internal politics, which for the moment does not project any real upheaval. They do believe, however, that the leaven of democracy is working In Germany and that sooner or later there will be a popular uprising against Hohenzollernism.
