"They must be men of such sta

The most delicate task of the
whole draft falls upon the .shoulder*
of the appellate l>oards. The final
and entire responsibility of sorting
out the "indispensable” men in the
'vitally necessary” industries is left
to these groups of men.
"To the district boards," Baker
wrote, "is intrusted the most vital
problem of the war. Two things ate
to be accomplished—to raise armie3
and to maintain industries. As the
war proceeds more and more men
will be required for the battle |lne
and yet there are certain industries
that must be malntajned to the end.
‘‘Any conceivable diminution of

Staff Correspondent united Press
WASHINGTON. June 30—Tba
first big prohibition fight in the sen*
ate is over at least temporarily
suppressed by the president
Following Informal agreement ba*
tween dry and Administration lead*
ers to kill whisky but spare beer
and wine, friends of the * food con
trol bill are today confident of Ita
early passage.
Senator Chamberlain, in eharfb
of the bill, was active early today
frying to reach an agreement for a
time to vote. There still are local
disturbances however, which will
continue the wet and dry fight on
a small scale, and unless some
agreement Is reached In these iso
lated disturbances, the whole
struggle threatens to break ant
anew.
There are now four big faction*
Jn the senate, including those will
ing to accede to President Wilson'*
demand to modify the bone-dry
measure; those radical dry* unwill
ing to make this concession; those
who favor continuing beer and wine
production, but who refuse to leave
their ultimate disposal in the presi
dent's hands; and those who oppose
prohibition of anything, even
whisky, and those willing to leare
the matter up to the president.
Senator Borah, Idaho, heads the
group who will not vote to place
beer and wine production at the dis
cretion of the president.
‘‘Such action would he cowardly,"
Borah said today. "This is a ques
tion of right or wrong, h question
for congress to face, not a question
of loading the administration of it
on the president. I will fight any
such proposal. I will vote bone-dry
before adding to the president’*
other trouble.' the disposal of tlfe
beer and wine prohibition questioß."
Opposed to this group are those
drys who have “stretrned their con
sciences” to exclude beer and wine
