G, July 12.— Prices as U. S. In an address issued to “My Fellow Countrymen,” President Wilson appeals to the business Interests of the country to give their help to the Nation as wholly and freely as those who fight at the front. The address in full follows: “My fellow-countrymen: “The Government Is:about to at- tempt to determine the prices at which ft will ask you henceforth to furnish various supplies which are necessary tor the prosecution of the war, and various materials which will be needed in the industries by which the war mugt be sustained. QOVERNMENT PROMISES TO PAY A JUST PRICE. “We shall, of course, try to deter- mine them justly and to the best ad~ vantage of the nation as a whole, But Justice is easier to speak of than to arrive at, and there are some con- siderations which I hope we shall keep steadily in mind while this particular problem of justice is being worked out. “I, therefore, take the liberty of stating very candidly my own view of the situation and of the principles which should guide both the Govern- ment and the mine owners and manu- facturers of the country in this dim- oult matter, “A just price must, of course, be paid for everything the Government buys. By a just price | mean a price whioh will sustain the industries con- cerned in a high state of efficiency, provide a living for those who con- duct them, enable them to pay good wages, and make po! fons of their enterprises, which will from time to time become necessary as the stupendous undertakings of thie great war develop. “We could not wisely or reasonably @o less than pay such prices. They are uecessary for the maintenance and development of industry; and the maintenance and development of industry are necessary for the grea task we have in hand, “But I trust that we shall not sur- round the matter with a mist of sentl- ment. Facts are our masters now. We ought not to put the acceptance of such prices on the ground of pa- triotism. Patriotism has nothing to do with profits in a case like this. Patriotiem and profits ought never in the present circumstances to be men- tioned together. NO TRUE PATRIOT WILL TAKE TOLL IN MONEY. “Tt is perfectly proper to discuss profits as a matter of business, w a view to maintaining the Integr of capital and the efficiency of labor tm these tragical months when ti Iverty of free men everywhere and of industry itself trembles {In the bal ance, but it» ould be absurd to dis- cuss them as a motive for helping to serve and save our country, Patriotism leaves profita out of the question. In these days of our supreme trial, when hundreds of thousands of our yo men across the seas to serve a great cause, no true man who stays behind to work for them and sustain them by hia labor will ask himself what he fs personally golng to make out of that labor. “No true patriot will permit himself to take toll of their heroism in moncy er seck to grow rich by the shedding of their blood. He will give as freely and with as unstinted self-sacrifice as they.

By Martin Green. (Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.)

The Provost Marshal General has practically abandoned hope of hold- ing the selective draft next Sunday. It may be found impossible to draw the numbers before the middle of next week. Realization has reached Washington that in putting Into the hands of @ lot of citizens, working without pay, the complicated task of numbering and listing close to ten million men for purposes of draft for army purposes, the Government gummed up the procedure. Only twenty-one States had ree [ported complete returns from local boards up to last night.

DIGNITY TO SURROUND THE DRAWING FOR DRAFT. Probably the drawing will be held in the’Chamber of the House of Rep- and probably President Wilson will draw the first number. ‘The ceremony {s to be surrounded with all the dignity and solemnity that should be associated with the preliminaries attending the first step in the way of building up an army by conscription. The complications of moment will arise after the drawing, when the local boards begin to consider claims of exemption and the Govern- ment and the applicants for exemp- tion begin to appeal from the de- ciaton of local boards. Army officers will not venture to predict the time that will be taken In the considera- tion of claima of exemption.
