An Atlantic Port, June 22.?An American steamer which arrived here in ballast today from a British port, had a thrilling encounter on June 4, with a German submarine, after the enemy boat had fired a torpedo at her, which hit but failed to explode. The submarine was badly damaged by fire of the steamer's gun crew and disappeared after her periscope was shot away. The contest between Chairman Dcnman, of the Shipping Board, an I ^ Major Gen. Goethals, manager of the board's emergency fleet corporation, ' for authority to exercise powers granted by Congress providing for a merchant fleet, will be settled by President Wilson giving (ion. Goclh ds the authority to buihl all ships possible, both wood and steel. (Jen. Gocthals will be authorized to L commandeer all shipping hoin x built now and to speed up its completion. Chairman Dcnman will retain powers necessary for operating and chartering ships, and as president of the fleet corporatio will continue to pass finally on contracts for construction.

This time it goes to the Curtis Aeroplane company and calls for the immediate construction of 25 of the giant flying whales recently developed by Glenn 11. Gurtiss.

As the regulations stand now, : every registered man bears a aunt her. ' The numbers will be forwarded to Washington and the drawing will be i entirely bv number Tlx. :,i...r I the numbered men will he entirely uii- i known to those in eharge of the draft j machinery and can be established on- . ]y by comparing the number with a j printed list in the man's home district. j ' As the numbers arc drawn, they will he telegraphed to the home dis tricts, where the registeied men will learn if they have been drafted. Then the ?|Uestion of exemptions 1 will come up, and this wi'l go before the local hoards. If a man is exempt- ' ed the mail lies ring the number which ' \v; s drawn next i:i order, will take his ; place and so on. In this way all those available for t service out of the ten million who registered will be made ready for the country's call and from them the lirsi increment of (i'2.r?,000 will he assent- t hied. s The others will lie called as the a to ed develops. Plenty of time will be pi.en for drafted man to arrange lb or personal nifairs and report 'o n [lie eantonment camps. It is hoped to 1 Ir ve them all in training by Seplem- .* In ! 1 or very soon thereafter. c t 5CHOOL HOOKS ADOPTED HY a STATF.
