HE cost of drafting America’s Gi first great national army— from registration to enroll- ment—was placed by Secretary Ba- ker today at $8,660,480 in his esti- mates to Congress. This amount includes al) over- head expense of registration, exam- ination and selection. It is based on registration of 10,000,000, exam- ination of approximately 5,000,000 and enrollment of 1,187,000 “On a tentative estima’ that the generous system of exemptions and discharges will result in a ne- cessity far examining four regis- trants to produce one soldier,”’ Sec- retary Baker said, “it is apparent the system must be capable of ex- amining 5,000,000 men during the year. For this task the organiza- tion includes a personne! of more than 18,000 persons.” Should theaSecretary’ s estimate prove correct,- it will be necessary to examine fuur times the quota de- sired, instead of twice that number, as is the present plan.

Zimmermann Admits Having Austrian Note 14 Hours Be- fore It Reached Belgrade. WASHINGTON GETS FACTS Rheusletiien Cann Crown Council at Potsdam Charged to Reichstag Member. WASHINGTON, «.ug. 3.—Germany had possession of stria’s ultimatum .0 Servia 14] urs before it was delivered to Belgtade, according to positive in- formation which has reached vfficiais here and which was made public today for the first time. It was stated that former Foreign Sec- retary. Zimmermann admitted this him- self, when pressed closely as to Ger- many's foreknowledge of the action of her ally which -recipitated the Euro- pean war, Germany has maintained consistently in all her public dccuments that she was not consult by Austria as to the ulti- matum which practically denied Servia’s independence’ ar.d that she did-not even have knowledge of the step. Made “Accomplice” of Austria. Foreign Secretary Zimmermann’s ad- mission, however, is interpreted here to show that Germany had full knowledge of the note in time to stop action on it if she felt it essential. Her inaction, however, is felt to have proved her an accomplice of Austria, whom she had already told she would support in any decision she might make. For a considerable time, it was stated, Zimmermann maintained Germany had known nothing at all matum, but when certain information and facts were presented, he admitted Germany had had the text for 14 hours befure its delivery. This fact fits in very closely with the recent statements, first advanced by Deputy Cohn ina the Reichstag and since adopted by the allied Gov- | ernments, that German and Austrian leaders held a war council at Pots- dam on July 5, in which it was prac- tically decided to plunge Europe into conflict. The interpretation placed on this council has been that Germany had full knowledge of all Austria’s plans, and stood unreservedly be- hand her. German has repfatedly denied the holding of such a conference. Deputy Accused of Telling About German Crown Council. AMSTERDAM, Aug. 3.—The [Deutsche Tages Zeitung challenges the German Government to prosecute Dr. Cohn, So- cialist member of the Reichstag, for his alleged revelations regarding the Crown Council held at Potsdam, July 5, 1914. The newspaper says it knows the rev- elations published in the London Times came from Stockholm direct and from the German independent Socialists and it offers to give the fullest evidence in case the Government desires to court- martial Deputy Cohn. The London Times asserted thatt a ( “e-ence was held in the presence of lumperor William at Potsdam July 65, 1914, in which the political and military personages in Gernany and Austria- Hungary took part when a pian was pronosed to let loose the war. The Wolf Bureau,.of Berlin on Aug..1 said it had been officia! authorized to de- clare that the statement was a pu.s invention.

FIRST DRAFT RETURNS SHOW ONE FOURTH PHYSICALLY UNFIT Percentage So Far Is Practically the Same as That Which Obtained in the Civil War, WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Early and scattering reports from local boards do not indicate any decrease in physical exemptions from the army draft ,over the average of 25.77, established in 1863. Provost Marshal-General Crowder said today that while no definite conclusion could be reached as yet, there was good reason to believe, on the face of first re- turns from local boards, that. there would be no substantial increase in the proportion of those found physically ‘unfit. Results of the next steps in the selec- tion procedure, the weeding out of men with dependent families, also are not clear. It may be that further supple- mental rulings will be necessary to give the local boards the general policies to be pursued to reach a decision in each case. DOCTOR ENDS LIFE IN FEAR OF DRAFT, FOUND TO BE A WOMAN TOLEDO, O., Aug. 3.—Authorities be- lieve that the army draft examination just beginning here was the cause of the suicide of ‘‘Dr. Samuel Ackerman,”’ whose body, found yesterday, was dis- covered by an undertaker to be that of a woman. Detectives found that “Dr. Acker- man,” 38, failed to register. Arrest and-} physical examination would have. re- vealed the sex secret, maintained far many years. The body was found float- ing in the Maumee River yesterday. Several years ago, posing as a man, Ackerman married. The wife” soon ob- tained a divorce. YONKERS (N. Y.)

CHARACTER OF __ TESTS Ears and Eyes, as Well as Nose and Throat, Receive Care- ful Attention. ‘Four ward draft boards, those of the Seventh, Ninth, Fifth and Twenty-first Wards, were on duty today, in readiness to examine men summoned in the first draft for the National army. In the Fifth, Seventh and Ninth Wards the boards were kept busy in examining men. In the Twenty-first, the board, which had the distinction of examining the first man yesterday afternoon, had no more applicants for examjnation this morning. The first men on its list are not required to appear befare Monday. Dr. D. E. Schmalhorst of the First Ward Exemption Board announced this afternoon that he will be ready tomor- row afternoon to examine men who wish to appear at that time at 8321 North Broadway. The first examina- tion’ in this ward had been set for Mon- day mornifg, but the bward learned it did not have to wait the full rive days to begin, in case men appeared tv be examined earlier. Up to 4:15 o'clock this afternoon, in- cluding yesterday’s work, the boards in the four wards had examined &4 men. Of these 38 were accepted in the physical test, 45 were rejected and one‘ case was deferred. Of those passed in the physical examination, 29 claimed ex- emption, most of them because of de- pendents and nine were ready to serve. The Fifth Ward board, with headquar- ters in room 129, Hotel Jefferaopn, was kept busy with applicants this morning. The men were called, as nearly as pos- sible, in the order in which they had {| sce Summons to appear tgp cea What the Tesi_is. The. physical tests were given by Drs. William Bostick and H. B. Beedle to two men at a time, and each pair of tests took 15 to ® minutes. The men were taken into a large room. adjoining the one in which the board has its clerical headquarters, were or- dered to remove all their clothing and were tested by the usual thumpings and listenings, as to the condition of their hearts and lungs. Tests for diseases of the eyes, nose and throat were then given, and these were followed by tests of vision ani hearing. The men were required to rea‘ letters at different distances, with either eye, and to hear whispered words, at a certain distance, with either ear. The agility of the men was then rated, and they were required to run across the room, to hop and jump, to kneel, stoop and bend various joints. Their weight and height were rec- orded by a scale to which a measur- ing rod was attached. After the physical tests were fin- ished, the men put on their clothes, and went before the board in the other room. Those who were re- jected by the physicians were usually told of that fact at once. Those whom the physicians passed were asked whether they wished to claim exemption. Enrolled for the Army. Those who did not wish to claim ex emption are enrolled as members of the army. Those who have claims for exemption are asked to specify the grounds of the claim—whether cepend- ents. lack of naturalization, minister or ministerial student, and blanks of the different kinds, prvvided for the differ- ent claims, are given te them. The men were not invited to fill out the exemption claim blanks at the board headquarters No one is on duty there as a notary. The men were told that the blanks must be filled out within five days, swern to before a notary public, and brought back to the board. This will require each man to pay a notary’s fee. Dressed in Sunday Best. The Fifth Ward Board, of which "vman T. Hay, proprietor of the Jef- ferson, is chairman, had _ rubber- stamped the notifications with the request that each man should take a lnth before appearing for examina- tion.” Not only did the men appear to have complied with this request, hut most of them were dressed in their Sunday best. Antonio Balsamo, a macaroni maker, the first man in order of call, was ar- raved faultlessly and his shoes were newly shined. Another, Jake Finkel- stein of 1720 Carr street, brought his sis- ter with him, to explain anything which might not be clear. Chairman Hay said the returns of no- tificatien cards had indicated that many wrong addresses had been given by men who registered June 6. The men, by registering, obtained cards which have since given them immunity from arrest as slackers. Hay said he would give the police a list of those who seeined to have given wrong address willfully. Several of the house numbers whicn were given are Vacant lots or empty stores. and some are in excess of the numbers on the block. Two men who had been rejected for various branches of naval service were among those examined.
