DRAFT K BE
TRIPLE DELAYED
Eight States Have Com
pleted Organization; Se
lection Next Week.
Washington, D. C, July 7. Pros
pects for setting in motion the draft
machinery for the new national army
by Monday, as planned by provost
marshal Gen. Crowder. were regarded
today as remote, since organization Is 1
necessary to defer the first drawing
till the middle of the coming week.
The method to' be followed in mak
ing selections has not yet been dis
closed by war department officials.
The general outline of the plan, how
ever, is indicated by the emphasis
laid on the serial numbering of the
cards, coupled with secretary of war
Baker's announcement that drawings
will be in Washington.
aH Men for Rmb .-Vnmfcer-
It is understood that when a single
number is taken from the Jury wheel,
the man in each district whose card
bears that number will be drafted.
As each number is drawn approxi
mately 30.000 men will be conscripted,
or one from each exemption district.
If 1.200.000 men are to be called
before the exemDtion boards in the
first selection, which seems highly I
probable, only 40 numbers would need
to be drawn
Want arattHW Mrs.
While the first contingent of the
new army, under the bill, is limited
to S00.S00 roen. an additional 155,00
or 160.000 will be needed to make op
the reserve battalions of this force.
Reserve battalions are now being re
cruited for all regular regiments and
will be recruited for the national
guard when it is drafted Into the fed
eral service. The organization of the
national army will be on the same
basis.
It may be necessary also to draft
enough men to fill up the regulars
and national guard to war strength,
although no decision to this end has
been reached as yet. The regulars
are now close to war strength and the
guard units are recruiting rapidly. If
possible, they will be completed by
the volunteer system.
NAVY POINTS OUT PLACES
WHERE RECRUITS COME FROM
Cards announcing that persons
either living or employed In different
places in the city have joined the
navy are being- distributed to El Paso
homes and business houses by the
naval recruiting station here. The
cards read:
"A man from this house is now
serving' bis country at the front In
the United States navy."
The cards bear the naval seal and
are signed by Lieut. 8. P. Tracht. who
is in charge of the naval recruiting
station at El Paso.
Five recruits were sent to the San
Francisco naval training- station from
1 Paso Friday night- They are John
W. Remington. Jay Elliott. Preston

Our ltelntitn. With Mexles.
"Since your chairman has not as-
signed a topic for me. I have chosen
to speak about the relations of the
American people with their Spanish
speaking neighbors," said Mr. Slater.
"This seems to a field peculiarly
suitable to the University club, for
above all It depends on the constant
and Intelligent work of educated and
cultured people to bring about the
right relations and maintain them un
impaired. We have here in El Paso about
45,000 Spanish speaking people, and
there are 16,000 more in the near
vliHnft.
IvJ,"
In west Texas there are
many, and in New Mexico more than
:00,00ft. while Arizona has tens of
thousands who know no other lan
guage. Onr Loral Problem.
"This is our Immediate, local prob
lem at least SOO.OOO persons directly
connected with us. whose language is
strange to us.
"But by natural extension, our
problem extends to all Mexico, with
its 15,000,000 people: Central America,
with t, 600. 000; South America, with
(0.000.000. or 3S.000.000 not counting
Brain where Portuguese is spoken.
"If I were speaking to a commer
cial body. I should lay the greater
stress on the commercial side of the
problem of Latin-American relations.
But before this club, it seems proper
to insist more on the social, educa
tional and cultural side. Neverthe
less, commercial relations are pro
moted by good social relations, and
the basis of sound commercial rela
tions is an understanding of the peo
ple with whom we are dealing.
The Language Harrier.
"The language barrier is the great
est barrier. It is characteristic of
Americans to look down on peoples
whose language they do not under
stand. The average American has a
nickname for every foreigner, and
has contempt for anyone who cannot
speak English. Tt is
provincial attitude of
narrow I
mind, not ;
worthy of any Intelligent nerson

deal to help break down this language

get behind a movement to have these
languages made more of in all our
schools, so that every boy and girl,
even the youngest, would 'have some
knowledge of the foreign tongues
which will be of most use. Americans
are notably deficient In this regard,
while all educated foreigners speak
several toncues as a matter of course.

Farewell Of Mexican

The last appearance of the
Mexican-Italian opera company
in El Paso will be at the Texas
Grand theater this evening and
Sunday evening.
Special arrangements were con
cluded aturday for two more per
formances before the company
leaves for the Pacific coast.
The bill for tonight is "Alda"
and the offerings Sunday evening
will be "Cavalleria Rnstlcana"
and "Pagliacei."
Miss Emilia Leovalli will sing
the principal roles each evening
and Sr. Adelberto G. Maynes will
sing tenor both evenings.
This is an opportunity that El
Paso music lovers should not
miss to hear good music There
will be no other such opportunity
for a long time.
the earth meet for intellectual ex
change and social contact.
"Latin-American relations can be
oantralixed here, if we will. This shoud
bo the natural center for conferences
and congresses of all orts except
purely political ones, which meet in
the capitals. This should be the sits
of great commercial museums, where
the products of all Latin-American
countries, well displayed and carefully
interpreted, should be the objects of
interest on the part of commercial
leaders of this and other countries.
"This is a dream, but some of us
must Imagine these things in order
that the road may be marked out to
greater accomplishments in the fu
ture. We should be working to a defi
nite, large scale plan, all the time.
Kl Vau'i Doty.
' First of all, we must look after
our simple Home problems more wn
fully than we have been doing. The
(first thing is to create ideal oondi-
tions xor tne spanisnspeaicing people
right at our doors, We t-houiu hat a
much greater and more perfectly or
ganized school plant for the St amsh
speaking people. There should h- fa
cilities for teaching industrial skill
and the simple Knghsh branches to
adult men and women as well as
children. These people should be
taught how to live, how to make the
most of their talents. Man power is j
worth developing ami conserving. We
should increase the earning power
of all our people, for what they pro
duce is added to the general wealth.
"We should take a more intimate
personal interest in the housing ion
dftlons of these people. What we call
the lower part of town ought to be as
well looked after as the bet and
richest sections. The country life is
capable or improvement.
Hlgkt Spirit Must Prevail.
"The right spirit must prevail, be
fore we can accomplish much. Some
money is necessary, but that is not
the most important. We must feel
right about it before we can do much
worth while.
"The University club can do much
to break down prejudices and clear
up misunderstandings. A lot of people
have the notion in their heads that
the Mexicans are a degraded race
with no future. On the contrary, the
race has qualities well worth develop
ing, and in some cases worth careful
imitation. 11ia Mexican rwnnU hav
very great possibilities. Try to learn
their point of view. Deserve their
conridt-nrc. and you will win it. They
are sensitive, and they despise any
one who seeks to patronise. There is a
strain of nobility mere as fine as any
in the world.
i:e tareful not to Judge unjustly.
Mexicans will reflect the spirit of
best friends I ever had in riy llf '
have been Mexicans, and I have found
these people loyal, reliable trust
worthy, sincere. I do not fail to see
the other side, but we ought to de
cline to indict a whole nation.
"Study the history and psychology
of the Xattn American peoples. Learn
their language. Subscribe to thMr pa
pers and magazines. You cannot tail
to acquire a deep respect for mucn
that jou will discover in their racial
and national character."
