Honor To Be Selected Under Draft; Says Author of Act

WASHINGTON, July 23. Senator

Cbamberlain, chairman of toe Senate military affairs committee and joint author of the draft law, who drew the

second number for the selective drart, Saturday issued the following statement: : ' '

"Everything went off with absolute precision, testifying to the care with which, the admirable plans had been

formulated by the President under the skillful management of Provost Marshal General Crowder. It will

prove to the country that the selective draft Dlan for securing an army is the

fairest that, could have been devised, distributing the burden of the war eo

far as man power is concerned equitably, evenly and Justly among .all young men of the " country between twenty-one and thirty. Any other system would hare taken only the willing however, injurious to the country it might have been to take them from the walks of industrial and business life, and left the unwilling to take their places in every vocation"Not Conscript System." "It is not a conscript system nor does it provide a conscript army. On the contrary every man drawn ought to feel honored and I believe will feel honored that he has been selected to serve his country." . . Secretary Baker sent his congratula-

On The Screen

MURRETTE The career of Marie Doro who is playing in "Heart's Desire,", a Famous Players-Paramount - picture, at the Murrette Theatre today and Tuesday, has been an exceptionally picturesque one. From her introduction to the screen by the Famous Players in "The Morals of Marcus," in which she had created a veritable sensation on the stage, each succeeding picture has outdone its predecessor in popularity until at present she is one of the most popular stars of screendom. There are several reasons for this phenomenal success but chiefly the fact of her own personal charm and previous experience. There are certain "Doro mannerisms" which, try as they may, no other actresses have ever been able to duplicate, and which have so endeared Miss Doro to the hearts of her audiences since her first picture. Miss Doro is at her brilliant best in this quaintest of photoplays, "Heart's Desire." Don't miss itl

tkras to General Crowder today .when the general formally notified him that the drawing had been completed.

General Crowder's letter to the secre

tary said: -

"We closed the drawing between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning. We

found precisely 10,500 capsules in the urn and the only mishap was that one

of the capsules contained no-number.

When the fact was discovered I threw

the capsule back into the urn to await developments. We drew it out last

and assigned it the last number on the

list"

The secretary approved the dis

position made cf the missing number.

On The Boards

"Common Clay," the offering selected by Manager Murray for the second week of the Murray Theatre Players, is an entirely new idea in play writing. The author, Cleaves Kinkade, was at the time of the writing a Harvard student. He wrote the play In competition with several hundred others for a prize. The play was first produced for one week in Boston. The success of this modern drama was so instantaneous i that A. H. Woods, one of America's foremost producers, secured it immediately for a run on Broadway, with Jane Cowl and John Mason In the featured parts. The play ran there for a solid year to capacity houses. Mr. Murray went directly to New York to secure this great dramatic success. Richmond play-goers will be the first to see "Common Clay" outside the big city. Prices will, remain the same; matinees Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Next week another of George M.

Cohan's comedies will be "Seven Keys to Baldpate."
