HEW DRAFT ARMY RUSHED TO CAMP Immediate Need in France May Make Increased Flow of Men to the Front Necessary. Washington, April 5. Orders for the mobilization of the first large num ber of men of the second draft soon will be out to the governors of the states. Fifteen thousand men of the second draft are now mobilizing, and the April call about to go out will repre sent probably more than he month's proportion of the 800,000 men who will be called during the remaining nine months of the year. Tp call the 800,000 in equa monthly increments would mobolize them at the rate of 90,000 a mor.th. approximately. How ever, there is no assurance that this will be a fixed figure, because the flow of meii will be determined by the needs of the army in France. As General Pershing may call for speci ally qualifier! troops, an average of 90,000 a month may be much exceeded or much decreased. Needed in France. The men will be drawn as gradual ly and in as small numbers as possible so as not to. dislocate industry and particularly agriculture . x The immediate need of increasing the Americanforces in France, how ever, to meet the German drive in the west is likely to result in calling the men faster than at first supposed. For that reason the April quota un doubtedly will exceed its normal aver age. If the need is pressing, the en tire 800,000 might be called in much less than the nine months originally planned. Conrad Out of Business for 60 Days; Took Excess Profits J. H. Conrad, brojeer and commis sion merchant in grain and mill stuffs, with offices at 215 Omafia Grain Exchange building, has gone out of business voluntarily for 60 days beginning April 5, after a hear- ing before the federal food adminis j traTtr for Nebraska. He admitted that he took excess profits on the sale of mill wheat feeds. He has agreed to refund all excess profits taken on sales made from February 13 to April 5. The re fund will go to the consumers, most of whom live in Texas, from which state the complaints came. The Omaha Alfalfa. Milling com pany has, also gone, out of business voluntarily for a period of 15 days, beginning April 5. This concern has been quoting prices on mill feeds, such as bran and meal, which were in excess of the prices allowed by the food administration. It has agreed to refund any overcharge made on these products. Representatives of the mill said they did not know the prices they were quoting were exces sive. Going out of business voluntarily has an advantage over waiting to let the food administrator revoke a licfinse in that the concern can ap pear before the food administration before the expiration of the time spe- kiucu, jjuiu it u can convince me iooa administration that it will observe the regulations in the future it may be allowed; to resume business. New Districting Results in Confusion to Some Voters "Do you kndw your precinct and polling place?" is a question frequent ly heard as the city primary day draws near; In so far as the city election is concerned, the ward and precinct divisions are merely for convenience in making it possible for voters to east their ballots at the nearest pos sible locations. The new districting, however, caused many changes and the suggestion has been made that A 1 J ,11 vnwrs snouiu Know wnere iney are at' before next Tuesday. There are 154 districts under the new plan of ward division. The Third warL for instance, extends west to -Thirteenth street in a district north and south of Cuming street. , In many instances dwellings will be use as voting places and fire en gine houses and school buildings will be used in cases -where their loca tions will best serve the voters. The election commissioner believes that much confusion may be avoided if voters will take time to determine their polling places before Tuesday.

Wide lati tude for the government to punish sedition and disloyalty was demand ed today in further senate debate on the bill penalizing disloyal utterances, attempts to interlere with the army dtaft and Liberty loans and other acts. Supportipg the bill, Senator Borah of Idaho contradicted statements of Senator Johnson of California that the measure is so broad that it would curtail freedom of speech and the press. "One would be perfectly free to criticise the administration, any officer or any department," he said, denying that it would punish those advocating constitutional changes, unless made with scurrilous attacks upon the pres ent form of government. Senator Borah declared that there now is no law to -punish men who eulogize the kaiser, German kultur or the German form of government. Senator Lodge of Massachusettts offered an amendment which would bar from the mails all newspapers, magazines or other matter printed in whole or in part in the German lan guage. Its consideration was deterred. Big Picardy Conflict A "Battle of the Air" London, April 5.
