This Is the mobilization picture

Plata complete to the last detail.
F Began Plans Early
formulation of that plan began
sooi after I the first world war,
and1 it has been expanded and im
prored every year since. This is
how It would work:
4C selective service law, drafted
long ago, would be submitted to
congress, with the expecUtion it
would be passed immediately.
The president would proclaim a
registration day for all men in a
certain age group (probably zi
to ,30 at first). Some 35,000,000
forms would be printed for reg
istering the first 10,000,000 men.
About 5500 local draft boards
would be created by governors.
Sight days after the president's
proclamation, men designated In
the, age group would register at
their, voting 'precincts, and regu
lar: election officials would de
liver their registration cards to
the! local boards.
After - the registration , lists
were numbered, checked and pub
licly posted. Questionnaires would
be sent to all registrants.
t" All Men Classified
from the information on those
forms, local boards would classify
each registrant as follows:
Class I Those Immediately
available for service.
Class II Those whose service
would be deferred for a limited
period because of the importance
of their jobs to the nation.
Class III Those whose service
would be deferred because they
have families solely dependant on
them.
Class IV Those whose service,
for obvious reasons such as phy
sical disability, would.be unde
sirable. Those in class I would be called
for .medical examination and re
classified as (1) physically fit for
unlimited service, (2) fit for lim
ited service or (3) unfit. The or
der in which they would be en
rolled wonld be determined by lot
teries as the tray and nary called
for : them.
It is estimated the nation has
11,000,000 between the ages of
21 and 30, with 1,000,000 more
coming of age each year, and that
this , reservoir would produce
' about 4,100,000 class 1 fighting
men: in the original draft.

Senator McNary Receives
Call From President on
Neutrality Act
Sen. Charles L. McNarjC repub

terday President Roosevelt sug
gested he might call a special ses
sion of congress possibly on Sep
tember 18.
The senate leader said the pres
ident talked to him by telephone
about such a session, and asked
him to use his influence in hav
ing only neutrality legislation
considered. McNary said the pres
ident was desirous of having a
special session "be of the short
est possible duration."
(President Roosevelt was re
ported to have said in Washing
ton today that while he had dis
cussed a special session with sev
eral congressional leaders, he had
not "decided on a date of call,
of convening, or whether he will
call a session')
McNary declined to comment
on his stand on the president's
request that all belligerents be
permitted to purchase munitions
and war materials on a cash-and-carry
basis, and he did not ex
press his views on a meeting of
congress at this time.

"unique" construction.
The Poles valiantly held their
post until the Germans altered
their stratgy by burning off the
heavy forest around the fortress
and then, with all obstructions
removed, advanced their Infantry
behind flame throwers.
Germans said the Polish com
mander, after his surrender, de
livered a short address of admira
tion for the bravery with which
the German flame throwers ad
vanced, while the German com
mander responded with compli
ments of the Poles, courage.
Among the wounded was Thom

Wales, chief petty officer. He
said the Manaar had put tip the
best fight of which she was cap
able before she was sent to the
bottom last night 100 miles off the
Portuguese coast.
Grinning despite his two leg
wounds, he recalled:
"We broke out a 12-pounder,
but we couldn't reach her (the
submarine). She , was too far
away."
Face-to-Face
"We launched four boats on the
port side away from the submar
ine but the ship swung around
as we were doing this," Jones
said, "and we found ourselves
staring straight at the ' submar
ine." "
Then, he added, the attacking
vessel 'fired a second torpedo, at
the same time opening tire with
its gun. He said that in his opin
ion shrapnel was fired. However,
a ; physician at the' hospital said
the men's wounds Indicated they
were inflicted by machine gnn
bullets.
The submarine fired four or
five torpedoes, at least, Jones
said, adding: ' -
"The fourth one broke her (the
Manaar) in two, and we watched
as she upended and disappeared.
Then the submarine submerged.
Then we took to the oars and
headed for Lisbon, but a Dutch
man (The Netherlands steamer

Japan Problem
May Hit US
Neutral Nation May Ask
US to Leave China,
Interests Clash
WASHINGTON, Sept l.-UPr-
As the eyes of the world focus on
Europe, the eyes of some of. the
highest officials here are turning
to the far east,; in the belief this
eountry will be confronted -with
major problems there as a result
of Europe's war.
Already portentous signs, nave
risen In the orient that indicate
America's experiences in the far
east during the world war may,
in substance, be repeated. The
signs are these;
Dispatches state Japan has re
quested the European belligerents
to withdraw their armed forces
from the Japanese-occupied terri
tory in China. The only belliger
ents with armed forces there are
Britain and France, with whom
Japan has had trouble through
out her war with China.
Notifies Big Powers
Further dispatches say Japan
has notified the major powers, in
cluding the United States, she will
be responsible for maintaining
neutrality in China.
It would seem Japan is waiting
no longer this ; time than she did
in the world war to press home
her advantages while other great
powers with interests in the orient
are involved in the Occident
What happenedl In the world
wan
Japan first swept the German
far eastern (Caroline) Islands
into her bin. The islands, now un
der Japanese mandate, have a
strategic naval value.
Shethen occupied the German
concessions in China.
China "Protectorate"
Next, within a year after the
outbreak of the conflict she pre
sented China an ultimatum em
bodying 21 drastic demandse that
would in effect, have made China
a Japanese protectorate. Though
Japan enjoined silence. President
Yuan Shlh-Kai of China let the
demands leak out
Today Japan Is not the ally of
Great Britain, as she was in 1914,
nor the declared enemy of Ger
many. She has proclaimed her
neutrality. She occupies an im
portant portion of China. Her
alms at this juncture seem to be
addressed not directly to China
but to the foreign powers with in
terests there.
The belligerency of Great Bri
tain and France gives her the oc
casion for asking the removal of
their forces, military and naval.
in China, on the plea of protecting
the neutrality of that country.
But there is no doubt in official
quarters here that if Britain and
France withdrew, the United
States. Italy and Portugal, the
only other powers having armed
forces in China, will be asked to
follow suit And officials here do
not believe this government would
comply with such a demand.
