But the women are likely to find out that unless they display seditious banners they will not be molested. To that extent, their agitation will have gained them a point.

SUFFRAGE EMISSARY FAILS TO SECURE BACKING IN SENATE Just when the White Houe was announcing the pardon of the sixteen suffragettes who were sent to Occo-quan. Miss Maud Younger, one of the leaders of the National Woman's Party, visited the Capitol and made an appeal to Senators in behalf of the Imprisoned women. Miss Younger was seeking to have Che sentences of the women taken up on the floor of the Senate, and objection made by Senators to the manner In which they had been treated.

Miss Younger was unable to make much progress In this direction. She consulted Senator Polndexter of Washington, who told her that he was not In sympathy with the methods of the militant suffragettes. He told her that he did not believe that picketing and similar methods which had been resorted to in Eng land should be tried here, and that he believed that the course which those who were responsible for picketing the White House bad taken bad cost the cause much support. senator lsoran or Idaho was ap pealed to, but without success, as he la not in favor of a suffrage amend xnent.

Their faces were all red and swollen, either through sleeplessness or weeping, but all aeemed game. They had a hard time yesterday with Mrs.

Warden Whittaker Immediately went Into another conference with the pickets, who were with their legal adviser, Dudley Field Malnne, and J. A. II. Hopkins, husband of one of the pickets.

The suffragettes cannot be forced to accept a pardon. Conrad II. Syme, Corporation Counsel, delcard It its been decided by the U. S.

MAL0NE DISSATISFIED OVER SUFF QUESTION, BUT WILL NOT RESIGN Dudley Field Malone, collector of the port of New York, has not resigned and does not Intend to resign. "My attitude," be said today, "simply haa been that whenever the holding of an official position Is Inconsistent with the advocacy of a liberty In any fo-m. I shall resign my office. "In this suffrage situation, all that happened was that having personally witnessed a case of great Injustlc-i to a group of American women appealing for their political liberty, I carried my protest to President Wilson In the knowledge that he would recognize the injustice, which he did."

Jn case a registrant finds his number In the center of or near the bottom or the list in his district.

It means that he probably will not-have to report for months or until the second or third levy of drafted men. Will Summon Registrants. After the drawing fixes the order of examination, the local boards will start at the top of their list and summon the first, second, third, and so on down the Hit exempting those disqualified until enough men are secured to fill each quota. The paraphernalia for the drawing Is ready and locked In a vault In the War Department. As the little capsules are plucked out of the glass bowls by bllnuiolded men, the "master" numbers within will be announced and recorded upon a huge blackboard.

The numbers will be checked against one another several times to avoid the slightest possibility of a mistake. The force of clerks and accountants has been drilled and rehearsed In their task. Within a few days each board will be notified by Its State governor of the exact number of men each district must give to the army. The quota Is baaed upon the recent population estimates. Ta Compete Pnblle Mind.

By virtually drawing the entire registration list at one time and fixing the order of appearance before boards, the War Department expects to compose the public mind and set at rest the uncertainty of the millions not drawn In the first levy. The American people will be represented at the drawing of their young men by the members of the House and Senate Military Affairs Committees, designated as official witnesses. Because of the tedious nature of the drawing and the necessity for absolute quiet, the spectators at the historic event will be limited. In addition to the Congresslor 1 committees and a few officials of the War Department, only a group of newspaper correspondents will witness tns lottery. DOCTORS TO GUARD AGAINST ALL FAKE DISABILITY CLAIMS Uncje Sam's not going to take any chances on his first 687,000 draft soldier boys faking physical disability.

With the fateful lottery perhaps less than twenty-four hours away, the Government Issued special warning to examining physicians on local boards to watch every dafted man carefully for crooked tricks. If drafted, you'll have to be a mighty poor specimen to escape a uniform on the plea of physical disability. And you'll have to prove your disability conclusively. "It Is Important, said the surgeon general's warning, "that you realize there will be a proportion of men who will seek exemption by dissimu lation, varying from exaggeration of condition to downright malinger ing "Be prepared to protect the Government against such attempts at deception." When the examining physician or the local board or both are In doubt as to a drafted man's physical qualification for military service, he will be held to be qualified. If two physicians declare htm phys-Ically unfit, the local board at Its discretion may set aside both opinions.

A drafted man can't escape by being sick. An examiner will be sent to his home. If convalescent, the board will hold him until well and then examine the man. There'll be no chance for "pull" with the phjslclan. If he or any mem ber of the board Is even a second cousin of the drafted man, they can't examine him.

:0 HOW "Say, Doctor, This Prescription Works Like Magic" Physician Explains Why Nuxated Iron QUICKLY PUTS ASTONISHING THE VEINS OF MEN AND CHEEKS OF NERVOUS, Ask the first hundred itronir, healthy looking people you meet to what they owe their strength and energy cJrxs- and zee how many reply "Nuxated Iron." Dr. Howard James, late of the Manhattan State Hospital of New York. and formerly Assistant l'nyslclan Brooklyn State Hospital, says: "Thousands anaemic, nervous. n-oown people suffer from Iron deficiency but do not Know wnat to take. To quickly enrich the blood, put roses In the cheeks of women and cive men that youthful vital- lty.

'Say, doctor, this prescription works like Unlike the older forms of Iron, Nuxated Iron does not Injure the teeth nor upset the stom- ach, but Is readily assimilated and you can quiCKiy recognize us action by a renewed feeling of snap, vigor and Increased staying power" No matter what other Iron remedies you have used without success If you are not strong or well you owe It to yourself to make the fol lowing test; Gen. Crowder Outlines System For Determining Draft Order The "war lottery," to select the national army, will be drawn In groups. Only 1,000 numbers will be drawn.

The 1,000, however, will dls pose of the entire registered ellglbles. numbering nearly 10,000,000 men. Gen. Enoch Crowder, provost marshal general, so announced to day. The 10,000,000 registrants are divided into groups.

These groups are controlled by "key numbers" from zero to ten. The men to be called up have been numbered In red ink on the selective list by the local boards. These red Ink serial num bers- run from very small figures In the lightly populated districts to more than 10,000 In one district. The red numbers were assigned by chance. Because of this General Crowder has ruled that drawings In sets of 1,000 will In no way work hardship on anyone.

But to make It fair, the drawing will be divided Into two parts. First will be the "Key numbers" to determine In what order each sheet of 1,000 names shall appear on the master list. Then will come a drawing of numbers from 1 to 1,000 to determine the order In side each group of 1,000 in which the registered ellglbles shall be called up. System Kxplalaed. In explaining the manner In which the drawing shall take place.

Gen eral Crowder today Issued the following: "Ten million men are registered 637,000 are needed In the first calL Who shall go first! "If we were dealing with the ancient draft we should take every fourteenth man. But wa are not conscripting. We are selecting for military service those whose civil service can best be spared. Therefore, the question Is not 'Who shall go flrstr but 'Who shall be called first for examination? And what we must do is to make a list showing the order of examination. "Now, no one knows how many men must be examined to yield 0S7.0OO soldiers.

Therefore no one can say Just how many men It Is absolutely necessary to put on this list. A moment's reflection will prove that the whole 10,000,000 must be given their places on the list of 'order of "Every registered man Is in a state of uncertainty. He does not know when be will be called. He hesitates to plant a crop for fear he will not reap It. Employers hesitate to engage his services fearing they will be but temporary.

This condition ought to be cured for the repose of the public mind. It-can be cured to some extent by putting every man on the list-One Drawing la Capital. "It would be possible to have 4,537 separate drawings one for each group bit since methods would vary, and since supervision and absolute Insurance against the charge of fraudulent manipulation could not be had In that way, every consideration of expediency and Justice urges one drawing in Washington. "In each group every registration card has a red Ink number written on Its face, and these numbers run in a single series from unity (one) to the number corresponding to the greatest number of cards In the group. Normally this Is from unity (one) to about 3.000.

"The central drawing must comprise over 10.000 numbers, because there are few groups of over 10,000 numbers, and the master Hat must contain sufficient numbers to accommodate the largest group. "To draw 10,000 separate numbers would take ten hours and would multiply the chance of error. Moreover. If the "ten thousands," the "nine thousands." the "eight thousands." and the "seven thousands." and the "six thousands" were scattered all over the master list Indiscriminately, the cancellation by boards having small groups would be very tedious, and would open the way to numerous errors. All this Is easily avoided.

The Actual System. The actual method follows: "First A drawing of numbers from 0 to 10 to determine the order In which the sheets of 1.000 each shall appear on the master list.

"One croup of numbers, from 1 to 1.000, and a second group, from 0 to 10. have been carefully Imprinted on ODaaue slips of paper, black on one side, counted and checked.

To Insure absolute accuracy of count, the capsules con taining numbers from 1 to 1,000 have been counted into ten glass Jars In groups oi auu cacu, iuo aiana have been sealed and kept in a safe awaiting the day of drawing.

Will Anaeune Numbers, "A blindfolded man will then draw the capsules out one at a time.

While he la announcing the number, a second capsule will be drawn and handed to a second announcer, who will break the capsule and read the number.

One keeper of a tally sheet will re peat each number as It is announced, and all three will write It down. In case of disagreement between tally sheets on any number, the sheets that agree will control. "Immediately after the drawing of the numbera from 1 to 1,000, the drawing of the numbers from 0 to 10 will take place to determine the order In which the thousands shall appear on the master lists.

"The master lists will then be compiled by attaching eleven sheets of 1,000 numbers each In the order determined by the drawing.

If, after calling 200 per cent, or If during the examination of the first 200 per cent, it shall appear that the number thus called will not yield enough men to fill the quota, the board will keep on calling men In the order as determined by the list of the order of examination until enough men have been called to fill the quota," FATIMA 20 or 15 WILL CALL 1,858 CAPITAL IN FIRST DRAFT LEVY A total of 1,853 Washington men will be called In the first levy of the draft, which will be made at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
