Postponement of the drawing of "numbers" of men who will be called for examination for thes natIonal army seems probable when it is known that the states are not completing organiza tion of their district exemption boards as rapidly as the war depart meat offi elals had hoped.

'i'he last step necessary to make the entire National Guard available for duty in France was taken by Presi dent Wilson with the issue of a itroc Iamationi drafting the state troops into the army of the tinited States on Au gust 5. To tahe certain that the purpose of the national defense act is carried out, President Wilson's proclamation of July 9 spt'citic'alty declares the meln drafted must he discharged from ol(1 militia status on that date. In that way the COnSlit utional restraint upon use of militia outside the country is avoided, aind the way paved for send ing the regiments to the European front. Six hundred and eighty -se ven thou Sand conscripts will be seleccted for the first army. Probably twice that nuin her will be drawn, as the number of exemptions is estimated at 50 por cent.

The German reichstag has gone on trike and the members have decided 'o suspend the labors both of the full 'ouse and the main committee until he politica situation has cleared up. The German political crisis centers principally on the question of peace and internal reform, and there is not the slightest reason to believe, accord ing to competent triple entente au thority, that it will result in anything remotely approaching revolution or any diminution of Germany's military or submarine power. It is apparent to triple entento capi tals that the present German food sup ply will hold outt till the present crop is harvested, but it is stated that the sufferings of the poor is intense in deced. Anent the political situation in Ger many, it is pointed out that military dominationi has reached the stage that the imperial chancellor is uttterly with Ouit autthiority over the military lead era and that the latter are doing as they please, leaving the civil authori ties to dio the apologizing.

AMERICAN CROPS TO BE BIG Russians, in Tremendous Drive on Lemberg, Break Through Teuton Line-Governmental Crisis in Germany May Result In Internal Reforms. .By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The mtter of food, its prou(ltction mnd cont rot, is becoming more In' portant tlily as a factor in ending the 'var. The international aspect was brought shiarply to the front last week when President W\'ilson pro claimed an embargo on shipments of food and certain other articles. No one has been blind to the fart that ILollantd and the Scandinavian coun tries have been shipping great quan titles of foodstufTs into Germany ever since the wair began. This was with in their rights, but to do it and still feed their own populations, they have been timporting very heavily from Amerien. Therefore it is equally with in the rights of .\urien', certainly the part of wisdom, to shut olY the exportation to neutrals of all food St ufs beyond what they need for their own sustenance and what we and our allies can spare. it would he stutitld to 'ontttinue to stupply foodl even aidli recltly, toi our eniemy, aindl thle United Stateis. thotighi slow to net.

The ('roip of potaltoes ill be thle biggest onf record, and the hiay crop, also of prime Importance, will be heavys. On the other hand, Food Controller Buttoc'ki, says Germniy's fruit and veg etable harvest is fatr below the aver age and that the yield of grain wtill be "as good us In 1915," which was a year of drought and miserable crops in the empire. The senate is still trying to formu late a law to regulate the (distribtion and use of the country's food andl prob ably other supplies of vital Importance, and1 hais agreed to vote on the bIll on July 21. The long and patience ex hausting wrangle over this measture has been cauisedh lar-gely by the deter minatIon of the "drys" to take advan tage or the circumstances aind make It a prohibition law. Whether the dis tillation of whisky' shall be prohibIted, whether the stocks in bond shall lbe commandeered and used for munitIons, whether beer and1 wine shall survive or perish, and a dorzen other like ques tions have been the subjects of argu mnent and dispute.

GEORGE MICHAELIS SUCCEEDS Chancellor's Resignation Came Unex. pectedly.-His Retirement Seems to Have Been Forced by the Crown Prince-May Affect War London.--(British Admiralty per Wireless Press).--Dr. von Blethmann. Hollweg, the German imperial chan cellor has resigned. Dr. Georg Michaelis, Prussian un der secretary of finance, and food com missioner has been appointed to suc ceed Dr. von Bethmann.lollweg. The message relating to the resig nation of the imperial German Chan cellor was circulated through the wire less stations by the German govern ment and was received by the British admiralty. It says also that the em peror has accepted the resignation of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg and named Dr. Michaelis to succeed him. The political turmoil which has been convulsing Germany ever since Russia's first startling success on the resumption of her offensive, has culmi nated for the present in the resigna tion of the imperial chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, but all indi cations serve to show that his resigna tion, ,far from being the last act in the drama, is but the beginning of far reaching developments which are bound to affect the fabric of the Ger man empire and have momentous consequences on the progress of the European struggle. The resignation of the chancellor came in the end quite unexpectedly, for Dr. von eBthmann-Hollweg, in the prolonged party discussions and heated debates of the main committees of the reichstag, which have been pro ceeding all through the week, seemed to have triumphed over his oppon ents, who have been clamoring for his head, by making concessions which were tantamount to the formation of a kind of imperial coalition ministry. NAMES OF HEROES OF FORMER WARS GIVEN TO CAMPS Washingtqn.-Names of American military heroes of past wars, includ ing several Confederate leaders, have been given by the war department to the thirty-two cantonments in which the national army and the national gaurd will be mobilized for training. in announcing the designations, the department revealed that the subject has been given consideration by a hoard of officers headed by Brigadier General Kuhn, chief of the war col lege division, and the selections were governedl by a carefully prIepared pol ivy. In each case the name selected is that of a man from the section repre sented by the troop~s concerned,, but not unp~opular in the vicinity of the camp. Short names wvere chosen for convenience, names like Washington and Lincoln were omittedl because of the temporary nature of the camps and other names were avoided be cause they. are dluplicated by promi nent men now living. In part the names chosen follow: For National Guards: Camp Greene, Charlotte, ,N. C., af ter General Nathaniel Greene, of the continental army, a native of Rhode rsland. Camp WVadsworth. .Spart anburg, S. C., after Brigadiedl General J. S. Wadsworth, ,U. S. V., born in New York. Camp Sevier, ,Greenville, ,S. C., af ter Brigadier General John Sevier, U. S.
