ileal Wilson to outline his opinion of
what compromises should be agreed
upon to hasten acllnn on the measure.
Tho senate agriculture committee
decided today not to make nny en

of those depending bills.
If Pre --Pleat Wilson docs not object.
the leaiti-rs were said to believe that
the substitute bill drawn by Senator

compromise legislation. The Gore
bill would limit government control to
food and fuel alone, eliminating steel

products.

WASHINGTON', July 12. Persist
ent Inquiries from all parts of the
country for Information about the
method to ho followed In selecting
men for tho national war army caused
war department officials to explain
today that President Wilson's deter
mination to have absolute fairness
govern the process was responsible
for the decision to withhold an
nouncement of the exact plan until
the very eve of tho drawing.
From White House.
The exemption regulations and all
other moves in the making of the
new army have received the approval
of tho president personally und the
draft regulations ulso will come from
the white house. All that Is known
now Is that the drawing will he from
serial numbers corresponding to num
bers on registration cards and that it
will take place In Washington, prob
ably at the capltol. Secretary Ba
ker or some other high oflcial will
draw the first' number and then the
procession of selection will bo pushed
forward until there Is flashed by
telegraph to every community lh the
country the numbers of the men
drawn. It 1h understood that tho sys
tem planed Is so simple that the
work will ho done In a few hours.
'So far only 21 states have reported
to the provost marshal general's of
fice tho completion of their organiza
tion, in some of them tho names
and serial numbers of tho men liable
to draft already have been posted.
The first city to report tho comple
tion of that part of tho work was
Kansas City.
)llfllslon In State.
Some fear was felt at the war de
partment today that the delays In
orgaai.atlon might cause further
postponement of the draft. It had
been decided that the drawing might
take place Saturday of this week. It
then became evident that it could
not he held before next week and
indications today were that it might
bo the latter part of noxt week be
fore everything was ready. One of
tho states whero there has been the
most confusion In organization Is
New York. Tho new estlmato of pop
ulation made by the census bureau as
a basis for the draft, It Is explained,
is not to bo taken as a genuine in
dication of the actual population of
cities and- communities. As the ob
ject u! tho estimates is to fix a fair
basis for establishing local quotas,
industrial editors with disproportion
ately largo numbers of young men
subject to draft hiivo been given fig
ures consldoruhly In excess of the
number of people, actually within
their borders.
