ORDER IN WHICH MEN

WAR FIXED TOMORROW
(By Associated Press Dispatch)
WASHINGTON, July 19.—Drawing of men for the
National army will take place at 9:80 o’clock tomorrow
morning in the committee room of the senate office build
ing. . , ,
Brigadier-General Enoch H. Crowder, judge advocate
general of the army, who is in direct charge of the draw
ing, announced the plan for drawing the numbers by which
selections will be made from the 10.000,000 registered men.
“The drawing of one set of 1.000 numerals and another
of elven, will fix with absolute equality of chance the or
der by which every one of the 10,000,000 registiants will
report,” said General Crowder.
The first call is for 687,000 men and registrants will

Early Next Month, Present
Plan
Dates for games in the Seward
Anchorage championship series were
under discussion in local ball head
quarters this afternoon and it is prob
able that the big battle will occur
early in August.
In the mean time there wil be sev
eral clashes between Frank Ennis’
team of unknowns and Hoben’s all
star cast.
Bad weather of the past few days
gummed the cards for proposed games
but Ennis was after the Conqueror of
Cordova this afternoon and the first
clash will probably occur tomorrow
evening.
Reports from up the Inlet are that
there will be a regular 3-ring circus
when it comes to picking a team to op

four-team league is confident that his
is the best aggregation, with possibly
one exception.

MAY MAKE MOSCOW
CAPITAL OF RUSSIA
TO END RIOT TROURLE
(By Associated Press Dispatch)
PETROGRAD, July 19.—The provisional government
controls the city again today as completely as did the Bol
shevki socialists appear to control it early yesterday.
An extraordinary session of the cabinet council is dis
cussing today the proposal to transfer the seat of govern
ment to Moseow to avoid further disturbance.
It was officially announced this morning that the gen
eral assembly of workmen, soldiers and peasants will be
held in Moscow to prevent interference from an irrespons
ible section of the Petrograd garrison.
The general staff buildings and Winter Palace square
are being used as headquarters for the government today.
Government forces are bivouacking there and have posted
field guns at points of vantage. The feeling is general
that the decisive stage in the clash between forces of law
and order and these bent on anarchy and disorder is rapid
ly approaching.
The source of trouble lies with German agents, this
being shown clearly in a letter received at provisional
headquarters from General Brussiloff’s chief of staff,
which states that Nikolai Lenine, leader of the radical so
cialists, is an agent of the German general staff. Evidence
of this, said the officer, was traced through the confession
of a lieutenant engaged in distributing propaganda favor
ing an early peace with Germany.
500 CASUALTIES IN TWO DAYS
(Hy Associated Dress Dispatch)
LONDON, July 19.—A Reuter news agency dispatch

Cossacks of the provisional government and Bolshevik so
cialists.

RIOTS MORE SERIOUS THAN ADMITTED
(By Associated Press Dispatch)
WASHINGTON, July 15).—Advices from Petrograd
indicate that fragmentary news of shooting in the Nevsky
Prospekt and other troubles in the past two days did not
tell the full story and that a deliberate attempt was made
to upset the provisional government unde)* which the Rus
sian army is making good headway. It is apparent today,
however, that the provisionals have the situation well in
hand and are determined to avoid future clashes even if it
means moving the seat of government back to Moscow,
the ancient capital of the empire.'
