Five new subscriptions to the mess
funds for tho Second and Third compan

received today. Two of these were sub
scriptions of $1 a month for three
months made on blanks clipped from The
Guard. Three other subscriptions were
left at this office. The response by the
people of the city haB been disappointing
in view of the fact that the members of
tho two organinztions will bo cnlled iuto

Rev. A. XI. Spangler, pastor of the
Congregational church, in nn address de

of the municipal band urged citizens to
contribute to- the mess funds to assist
in providing the extras which mako ser

General Pershing's Men Become
Proficient in This Mode of
Warfare More Readily Than
Was Expected.
American Training Camp in France,
July 21. The American troops here will
extend the scope of their training on
Monday by beginning to practice bomb
and hand grenade throwing. The major
ity of the officers, including even some
from the general staff, have already ex
perimented successfully along this line
and with the aid of expert French as
sistants will be able to instruct the men.
From all appearances today the
Americans had been able to become
speedily very proficient in this mode of
warfare. The majority of the soldiers
have played baseball more or less and
naturally throw well. As far as the of
ficers as a whole have pitted their skill
against tho trained and expert French
men they have easily outdistanced the
French throweru and have shown quite
nB much accuracy in hurling nt marks.

Harrison, Ida., July 21. Fire of un
known origin began hero today and at
10:30 had destroyed all of the business
section and half of tho residence portion
of the city. The loss so far is estimated
at half a million dollars. The fire began
in Grant's lumber yard. Earlier in the
day a fire was discovered in Grant's log
ging camp.
Ten forest fires nre reported burning
in northern Idaho, all of them, It is said
of mysterious origin.
Spokane, Wash., July 21. Harrison,
Idaho, a town of 1,000 population, is
burning, according tn word received here
asking for assistance.
A telegram from J. V, Cook, council
man of Harrison to Mayor Fleming of

over one-half of rmidence portion of
Harrison burned. Fire otill rnging. City

Four men, according to a railroad em
ploye, were seen to run away from the
Grant lumber yard noon after the fire
was first noticed. Two men, said to be
members of the I. W. W., were arrested
in Harrison today.
The Grant company, it wns said, has
not nnd any more trouble with the I. W.
W. than other logging concerns, against
which the I. W. W. called strikes.
Two men wore injured by the fire. At
noon the hotel, bank, hospitnl and depot
were still standing hut the flames threat
ened to reach thrn if the wind changed.

Drawing Completed in 16 Hours
and Officials Prepare Plans
For Local Exemption Boards.
(By The Associated Press)
Washington, July 21. With ten mil
lion men listed in the order of their lia
bility to service, the federal government
began today its last task of preparation
for organization of a selective draft
army the task of -determining who
among those choseu shall be exempt.
The drawing to determine who shall
first be liable for service ended early to
day, after it had been in progress with
out interruption for more than 10 hours,
and whilo the officials in charge rested
from their long vigil others took up the
tabulation of official figures for forward
ing to local exemption boards over the
country. Most of this work it is hoped
to complete before the day is over, so
that the local authorities can be given
their instructions early next week.
Number 4,004 Is the number which
should have been in the empty capsule
that came out of tho bowl early this
morning in the army draft lottery. It
was discovered several hours later by
checking official tally sheets.
A blank for the empty capsule was
left at the foot of the list, and Provost
Marshal General Crowder has so report
ed to Secretary Baker, Officials in
charge of the detail of the scheme say,
however, that it probably will be placed
finally in the order in which it was
drawn, its rotation number being 10,004.
This would shove each number us now
listed, from 10,004 to 10,400 down oue
place further on the list.
Probably there nre several hundreds
of men whose cards bear tho number
4,004, since the average district has 3,
000 registrants. Even at 10,004 they will
be so far down on the liability lists that
it will make little difference to them
whether they are 10.004 or 10,500.
Checking of the tally sheets is disclos
ed other problems to be solved. So far
however, nothing has come up that does
not settle itself naturally. Thcro is one
case of a duplicated number because 0,
CSO and 0,080, both were recorded as the
same number. Upside down either num
ber becomes the other.
Tho ruling made is that tho first num
ber recorded, will be regarded as cor
rect. If it went on the sheet first as
0,080 it will remain in that place on the
final sheet. "Where the number is repeat
ed later it will be reversed.

RUSSIANS II FORGED
TO RETREAT BECAUSE
OF LACK JFSTILITY
Situation at Petrograd Is Im
proving and Government Of
ficials Seem to Have Situa
tion Well in Hand Under
Premier Kerensky.
Although Russia hns been struck a se
vere blow on the northern Galicia n front
through tho mutiny of segments of her
troops under extremist influence, the
forces of order appear to be getting a
firmer grip on the fountain head of the
difficulty in Petrograd.
The disorderly elements in the enpitnl
having been subdued, the nation's strong
est man, Kerensky, hns been made pre
mier ns well as minister of war and
marine.
One of tho signs that the government
intends to grapple in earnest with the
forces of disorganization comes in tho
report of the arrest of tho arch-agitator,
Lenine and some of his lieutenants.
What course the provisional govern
ment will take toward Finland, whose
diet has passed a bill declaring complete
independence of Russia, has not been
disclosed.
The German crown prince received a
severe beating in his recent attack along
a wide front in the Aisue region but
nevertheless is sacrificing more of his
troops in renewed efforts to shake the
French lines. There was violent fighting
Inst night south of Ccrny, on this front,
but although the French positions were
twice penetrated tho end of the fighting
showed them to hnve remained intact in
French hands.
A British nttack on the northern end
of the Belgian-Franco front, which tho
intensity of the big gunfire of late bad
seemed to indicate as impending, has not
yet been delivered.
(By The Associated- Press)
London, July 21. A despatch to tho
Daily Mail from Petrograd says it is ru
mored there that Lenine, lender of the
extremists and seven of his lieutenants
have been arrested while trying to es
cape to ICronstndt.

Petrograd, July 21. A further retreat

Michaelis' Address Stating Ber
lin Policy Means Annexation
All Around If Germany Wins,
Lloyd-George Asserts. t
London, July 21. Premier. TJoyd
Goorge said today that the speech In tho
rcichstag of Dr. Michnclis, the new Qcr
n;nn chancellor meant that if Germany
wero victorious there would be annexa
tion all nround nnd that the military mi
tocrncy would bo established inoro firm
ly than over. The speech showed, 1 the
premier asserted, that those in ahargo
of Gorninuy'g affairs had for the moment
mado the choice for war.
The premier said that the stntemcjit
of Dr. Michnclis continued phrases which
would bo understood by the military pow
ers of Germany. Unless theso were wiped
out ho added, they would again plungo
Europe into a welter of blood.
"I have read Chancellor Michnclis'
speech three times," said Lloyd-Qeorge.
"I see in it only sham independence for
Belgium, sham democracy for Germany,
shamdemocrncy for Europe." 1
At another point in his speech, which
was delivered in London, the premier
said:
"Regarding the submarino menace, I
must disagree with Chancellor Michnelis.
Gradually but surely wo aro increasing
our protection and diminishing our
losses."
Mr. Lloyd-George said the food supply
for the 1017-18 period had nlrendy been
secured and that a program of cultiva
tion had been arranged to make the sup
ply for the lollowing year secure, ever.
If losses Increased.
"Wo can't make peace with a Germany
dominated by autocracy," declared the
premier. "The war now becomes a struggle-
between two definite groups of na
tional Ideals. Significant in this respect
Is tho news announced today of the ac
cession of that brilliant Itusslnn states
man, Kerensky, to the leadership of Itus
sian democracy."
"I dont' wish Germany to harbor any
delusion," Mr. Lloyd-Gcorgs continued,
"that Great Britain will be put out of
the fight until full liberty has been es
tablished. I predict it will not be long;
beforo the German chancellor delivers
n different spech and that is tho one for
which wo are waiting."
Spenking of the shipbuilding program,
Mr. Lloyd-George said Great Britain this
year would turn out four times ns many
ships ns last year. In the last two months ,
of 1017 as many ships will be finished
as in all of 1010.
