Miss Lucy Burns -and Miss Mabel Vernon, conferred with the prisoners at length today. Mr Malone was very anxious that an appeal be taken, and is said to 'have offered to act as counsel, 'regardless of the efi-ect it may have on his Government position. The prisoners expressed the' view that they would have to serve their sentences anyhow, and they might as well have them over immediately. Mr Malone then conferred with Mr Battle, Mr Hopkins, Frank P. Walsh, a Kansas City attorney, and others, and announced that he would take the appeal.

Tonight he went to the workhouse and talked-, with the women far in advance of the drawing would make it possible to Juggle lists in States that' have not reported to State officials. It was declared that while there was no question of the integrity of the local boards- who have these lists in hand, the safety of public, interest demanded that the possibility be guarded against. Arrangements have now been made whereby th explanation of the lottery will be given to the public on the morning of the, day the drawing is to take place. Secretary of War Baker will be asked tomorrow to advance This release date as far as he deems it advisable, so that the public may have this information as early as possible.

The resolution seeks to meet thuvlew of the State Department, however, bv excepting from its action citizens of countries which have treaties with the United States prohibiting the enforced military employment of the of each party In the territory of the other." There has been no indication whethci it will have Administration approval. The answer of the Census Bureau to the request of the Senate, in the Brande-gee resolution, for information fcs -to how the draft estimates were made was sent to the Capitol, but it was not received before the Senate adjourned It Special Dispatch to the Globe PLATTSBURG, July 18 With the appointment today of the board to make, break or discharge, candidates for army commissions are beginning to figure on the probable- outcome of their three-months work ending on Aug 14. Every candidate will know on the night of Aug. 1, exactly what the board has determined to do with him, ana if he is acceptable as an officer he will receive his commission before the close camp. The board appointed consists of 2G company commanders, with the colonel and both of the regimental commanders and two officers to select men for commissions as second lieutenants in the Regular Army.

Tonight there are 4628 men on tho rolls as training candidates and reserve officers, the latter -numbering 450. 4 i i i I I ins Procedure of the Board The procedure ot the board will be as follows: The company commander will announce the selection of men from his company and -discuss with the board their work, and record. He will first recommend 45 men. from his command, and after 45 men have been selected from each of the 26 companies, the selections being captain, first and second lieutenants, making a total of 1170 officers. Col Wolf will then announce that he has a full complement to officer 26 regiments-of the National Army and ask the officers to proceed to rbcommend an additional 1170.

These men will go on the officers' reserve list and await a call. With. 2340 men thus disposed of, a selection will be made to obtain 409 men and commission, them -in the Quartermasters Corps, and then 250 will.be -named for second in the Regular Army, 150 in the Ordnance and five In the Intelligence Bu reau, disposirig of a total of 3145 and leaving 1483 men, either to be dropped as Ineligible to become officers, recommended to make a further attempt in Another camp, or take 'up the aviation cotirse at- the Governments ground school of aviation connected with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is the opinion at headquarters that at least 500 men will be accepted for the aviation service, providing they can pass the Bevere physical examination. Of course, there is no -commission going to man leaving here for Cambridge.

Having shown good metal here, he stands an At chance in that service. There are now. about 130 men on the waiting list from the two regiments. Approximately 1UOO men will be in the two classes discharged recommended for a Becond camp. A recommendation to a second' camp would naturally keep a man from being drafted and give him a six months course.
