Affair Is Much Smaller.
The drawing of numbers fo deter
mine. the order in which youths of
the'classes of 1918 will be called into
the-' military service was conducted
hiere today with much the same cere
money which marked the great draw
ing of a year ago.
This time, however, it was a much
smaller affair, and in view of the
fact that the classification system
more nearly determines the order of
service than does the actual numer
leal order, it was not surrounded with
such dramatic interest.
The drawing was held ih the great
conference room of the Senate office
building, with Secretary Baker blind
folded taking the first gelatine cap
sule, with' a number enclosed, from
the glass bowl. It was number 246.
Numbers 1168 and 818 were the sec

the drawing continued to the end.
Big black-boards for checking the
record were placed against the wall
at the rear of the, room. The num

AGREED UPON
ON PRODBITION
Manufacture and Sale of
Wine and Whiskey May
Stop in 1919.
Washington, June 27.—The Senate
Agricultural committee today agreed
upon an amendement to the $11,000,
000 emergency agricultural appropri
ation bill providing for national pro-,
hlbition..
Under the amendment the mariui
facture and sale of whiskey, and wine
would be prohibited after June 30,
1919, and the manufacture and sale
of beer three months after the final
appr6val of the bill by the President.
Another test vote in the House on
Prohibition, the second in a week, re
sulted today- in the adoption of a res
olution, 112 to 92, calling on the
President to inform' the House
whether any ruling has been made
by the railroad administration, the
war industries board, or the war
trader board, curtailing supplies to
liquor "manufacturers.
The amendment was framed by
Senator ftorris of Nebraska as a sub
stitute for the pending one by Sena
tor Jones of Washington. The Jones
amendtnent would have brought
about absolute prohibition immediate
ly upon enactment of the legislation.
The Norris compromise was adopted
by the committee by a vote of 8 to 3.
Thoee opposed to the Norris amend
ment attempted to have It changed so
as to permit the sale of beer six
months after its passage and later
proposed four months. Both efforts,
however, resulted in defeat.
Chairman Gore said the bill with
the new amendment would be report
ed to the senate tomorrow and that
an effort would be made to bring It up
for consideration at once.

Parle. Jane 27.—A dispatch
from Kiev under date of Wed

reports of the assassination of
former Emperor Nicholas or Rus
sia has been confirmed. It is de
clared he was killed by Bolshevik
troops during their retreat on
Yekaterinburg.
Geneva, June 27.—(By the As
sociated Press.)—The Ukraine
bureau at Lausanne announced
today it had received confirma
tion of the report that the Bol
shevik authorities at Yekaterin
burg condemned Nicholas Rom
anoff, the former Russian emper
or, to death after a short trial
and then shot him. Details of
the reported execution are lack
ing.
Amsterdam, June 27.—Reports
that former Emperor Nicholas
has been murdered In Yekaterin
burg are increasingly persistent
In Moscow, according to a dls
patch from that city (date not
given) received today by way of
Berlin.
The Moscow newspapers, the
dispatch states, indicate that the
recent whereabouts of the ex
emperor have not been definitely
known. (This statement seems
significant as in conflict with the
German reports of the former
ruler's removal, to Moscow.)

The Americans also captured eleven
big machine guns, 10 automatic rifles,
a quantity of small arms and am

The Germans have not yet made
any attempt .to counter-attack. Last
night was comparative quiet on the

were kept busy consolidating their

oners mostly were, stragglers found
hiding in the wood under rocks or
in the shrubbery where they had been
Isolated by the- American fire. They
were unketapt and hungry.
NEW SIGNIFICANCE
IN THIS YEAR'S
FOURTH CELEBRATION
Telegrams and, letters from all
parts of the country to the woman's
committee, Council of National De
fense, indicate that Independence day
celebrations following the program
suggested by the Council of National
Defense will be numbered by the
thousand.
Send us 2.000 copies of the Fourth
of July program. We are pushing
the work here," one message reads,
while letters request consignments of
from 75 to 500.
'Never before has there been such
enthusiasm shown in preparations for
celebrating the Fourth of' July," sbys
the woman's committee. "The peti
tion of citizens of foreign extraction
to the president that they be allowed
on this day an opportunity of ex
pressing their loyalty to the United
States has undoubtedly quickened-the
interest of every one. But there is a
reason that lies deeper in the hearts
of American women their men are
fighting for freedom—it can not be
mere words to the present generation
of women. War has given to it the
meaning that it had in Revolutionary
days. To the women of America this
Fourth of July will be as dearly paid
for as that first 'Glorious Fourth.' So
women throughout the country are
going, to do their part in giving to it
a true significance." .-v

AMERICANS TO BE
SENT IMMEDIATELY
TO ITALIAN FRONT
Washington, June 27.—General
Pershing, under instructions from
Washington, has selected a regi
ment of Infantry to be sent Im
mediately to Italy, Secretary Bak
er announced today. The secre

ity of the troops.
Today's War
Summary
Along the western battle line
well as on the mountain and Piave
sectors of the Italian front the Allied
armies await further enemy efforts.
Infantry activity is confined to local
actions at various points.
On the vital stretch of the battle
front between Ypres and Rheims the
most important action of the past
few days has been that in which the
American troops took from the Ger
mans a commanding hill position
near Belleau 'Wood northwest of
Chateau-Thierry. Besides gaining
the hill the Americans took 2(4 pris
oners Including seven officers. From
the hill the Americans dominate the
German positions for some distance
beyond in the direction of Torcy.
It is believed that the German com
mand is about ready to launch an
other stroke against the Allied lines.
The Artillery activity remains about
normal, but aerial fighting has in
creased markedly.
Thirty-six German machines were
brought dowfi or forced to land In a
damaged condition Tuesday by
Franco-British airmen while Berlin
claims the destruction of 12 Allied
airplanes the same day: German air
planes raided Paris Wednesday night
There is much slekness prevalent
among the German troops but this is
not believed to be having any effect
on plans for a renewal Of the enemy
offensive.
The Italians are busy taking count
of the guns and material captured
from the Avstrians who fled across
the Piave. In the mountain gone the
fighting has died down to local at.

Expected That Majority For Governor Will Not Be Orer
4,000—Independent Voters' Association Gains A
Great Victory Despite Outcome—VickAp
parently N ominated.
With 912 out of 1,978 precincts in the state Heard from
this afternoon, Governor Lynn J. Frazier is leading John
Steen, of Rugby, Independent candidate, for the guberna
torial nomination by 3,168. Returns available at 3 o'clock
showed the following:
Frazier ........ 25,689
Steen 22,521
The battle for the republican nomination for governor
developed today into one of the closest primary election
contests the state has seen, and it is said in some quarters
that when the final returns are received the winner will
have a majority of between 3,000 and 4,000, no matter who
takes the nomination. Frazier's lead now is slightly in ex
cess of 3,000.
In the race for the congressional nomination in the
first district, H. G. Vick, of Cavalier, apparently has defeat
ed John M. Baer, the league candidate. Returns received
this afternoon from 383 out of 542 precincts give:

As returns from the rural districts in strong Nonparti
san league counties came in this morning, Steen's lead was
gradually cut down. Some reports from the German sec
tion of the state shoved Frazier into the lead during the'
afternoon. Sheridan county, with 25 out of 28 precincts re
ported, gives Frazier 749 and Steen 378. Two years ago,
this county gave Frazier only 337, while it gave the oppo
sition candidates for governor 601. The returns on yester

Second district, while P. D. Norton
and- Sinclair, the league choice, are
staging a close race in the Third dis
trict, with the former holding a slight
advantage. Several strong league
counties today cut Norton's lead ma
terially.
Despite the fact that Frasier ap
parently has secured the nomination,
the result of the election stands as a
brilliant victory for the Independent
ticket, for Steen cut a' great chunk
out of the tremendous vote rolled lip
two years ago for Frazier.
Returns on the balance1 of the state
ticket are very incomplete, but those
available indicate that the league
candidates are maintaining approxi
