WEATHER PORECAST Generally Fair and Warmer Today and Tomorrow. WEEKLY REPUBLICAN -1807. MAIL PUBLIU SUCCESS! There are no "lifts" in the House of Success, But the stars are long and deep, And the man who would climb To the top, in his time, Before he dare walk, must creep. Of carpets, there's none in the House of Success, But the floors are hard and bare, And you're likely to trip And slide and slip, In the pitfalls here and there. There are no lounges or easy chairs, Nor places to rest your spine, But after you've won To the roof-there's the sun, And, ah! but the view it is fine.

DRAFT LOTTERY Washington, July 19-Picking America's first big army will be staged within 18 hours. Either the great reception room off Secretary Baker's office or one of the chambers of Congress will be the scene. Everything is ready. The little capsules with the numbers are stowed in the War Department, while regulations governing the drawings are in the government printer's hands. These rules will be announced before the drawing.

Mystery Surrounds Lottery An air of mystery has been thrown about the lottery. Officials refuse to specify just how they will pull the numbers. One authority said that this might occur within two hours after the last governor declared the numbers were in, irrespective of the time of day. The House and Senate Military Committees have chosen official witnesses, and Secretary Baker may draw the first capsule. Chief of Staff Bliss and others will confer today on final details.

In general the order in which the master numbers are drawn here will indicate the order of liability for service, though, owing to varying registrations in different districts, the numbers will be divided into some group form.

Every man summoned must take this test. whether or not he intends to make an exemption claim. Heavy penalties attach to failure to appear.

Germany has taken up arms only in the defense of her liberty and independence and for the protection of her territory. Against Annexations "'The Reichstag aspires to peace by negotiations and perpetual reconciliation among nations. With such a peace as this, annexation and all political, industrial and financial measures undertaken by. violence are incompatible.

"The Reichstag disapproves all plans which lead to isolation and enmity among the peoples after the war. "The freedom of the seas must be secured. Only an industrial peace will pave the way for a friendly intercourse among nations. Will Fight to End "So long as the enemy governments refuse peace on this basis just so long will the German people stand together as one man, fighting until her own and her allies' right to live and develop shall be assured. "In its unity the German people stand unconquerable.
