DRUNKEN MEN SHOOT
 AT PASSING MACHINE

Deputies from the sheriff's office have been carrying on an investiga- ton today in an effort to find who were the parties who fired the shot at the motor car of I. J. Johnson on the Yuma road about eight miles west of the city early Sunday even ing.
 MT Johnson, who is agent for the New York Life Insurance company. accompanied by his wife and son, and sister-in-law, Mrs. H. o. Coles of Miami, and the young son of John O'Malley, were returning to the city after spending the day hunt ing and picnicking on the Aqua Fria river. When near the Harry Kay ranch, about eight miles west of the clty, large touring car was seen approaching.
 As it neared them the dimmers were put on and the speed of the car diminished When the machine drew opposite, one of the occupants threw out his hand as if to point at he wheel of Mir. Johnson's car and instantly something struck the side of the tonneau. On investigation it was found that the car had been struck by bullet, which, while mar ring the finish. had glanced off. Hed it penetrated the body of the car no dovl it would have seriously in lc1ed one of the women who oc- cupied the rear seat.
 Finding no telephone connection al ihe Kay ranch, the party proceeded about two miles to the Dan McDer- mott ranch. where they phoned t.. Toleson for the authorities there L, get the number of the machine. Men on the McDermott ranch said that they saw the car pass a few min utes before the arrival of My. JGhn- soa.

The final fifteen per cent of the first contingent of men drafted for the na- tional army will be called to the train ing camps some time in November.
 This information, which is of eX. irene interest to many people in Ari- Zona. as well as all over the country and concerning which there have been scores of inquiries during the past few weeks, was received yesterday by Col oncl Fred s. Rreen at the state house in telegram from Provost Marshal General Crowder at Washington.
 Although no definite date for the call for these last men of the first contingent was set in the telegram re- ceived yesterday, nevertheless the in formation that such a call would be issued was reasonably accurate and probably will be followed in few days by the official order calling the final fifteen per cent to the colors
 Camps Now Ready
 The delay in the issuing of the call for the last of this contingent was ex- plained in the telegram to Colonel Breen by reason of the unpreparedness of some of the cantonments to care for the men. However, the camps now are ready and the call may be expected in short time

PRESIDENT ID THANK
 ALI WHO CAVE FREE AID IN RAISING ARMY

Personal recognition from the hands their unselfish loyalty and patriotism are to be received by those who have aided. without financial reward, in the regist1at the selection and the en- training of the men for the nationa! army
 This recognition, the form of which has not been divulged by the o1flclais at Washington, is to be received oy these men before another call IS lssueu for men for the army. It is 10 come without considerable delay, instrde- tions to that effect already having been received by Colonel Breen.
 Names of these men and the ser vices they contributed without pay are asked for in a telegram received yes terday from Provost Marshal General Crowder. Because of this unselflsh service contributed by these men m the formation of this national army General Crowder says that 1t alreaoy IS certain that the cost of securing tnls army has been far less per capita than any other plan ever tried in the oniteu States The telegram is as follows.
 Asks for List
 ..It is very desirable that the fiscal administration of the first dra1t De closed as nearly as possible on the November account current. To accom- plish this, you should take steps now to have all claims for expenses ln- cured. including compensation or board members and clerks arising from both registration and selection. presented as promptly as possible ana payment of all authorized claims made on November account current.
 This would enable us to advise con- gress, upon the reassembling of that body in December, of the total cost of the first draft in each state as nearly as it is practicable and also the unit cost in each state producing soldier at the place of entrainment, which unit cost will be obtained by dividing the total cost of administration in the state by the state quota.
 Cost is Low
 From preliminary reports received from six nearby states we are encOur aged to believe that tfe cost will be lower than that under any other meth cd of raising armies which this nation has tried. We know that the cost to the nation of registration and selection has been greatly reduced by voluntary. uncompensated service. It is desired to make suitable individual acknoW- ledgment in the name of the president to each person who has contributed such uncompensated service, either as a member of board, clerk, examining physician, federal appeal agent or in any other capacity.
 ITO this end you will call upon local or district boards to furnish you list of names and addresses of persons who have rendered such uncompen- sated service. Forms on which uncom- penSated service is to be reported are now in preparation and supply of these for distribution in your state will. with additional information, be mailed you within a few days. Please send me at once by wire, the best approximation you can now make of the total cost for your state.

men and bad men men make good

women can't; where a girl who goes
wrong, is made an outcast and her
male associate fiourishes as a gentle
man; where we pay hundred dollars
for poodle dog and Is cents dozen
to a poor factory girl for making
shirts; where we put man in jail Tor
stealing a loaf of bread and in Con-
gress for stealing a railroad; where
the check book talks, sin walks IN

crime runs amuck and the devil rides

GARRISON'S VIEWS.

The sudden departure of Lindley M.
Garrison from the cabinet of Presi-
dent Wilson as secretary of war
brought about keen discussion at the
time, and various reasons were out
lined for the action Primary con-
was given when the resig-
nation took place to an alleged disa-
greement between Garrison and Will
son on the continental army plans.
Has a recent utterance of former
Secretary Garrison given a keener in
sight into the fundamental cause OF
the disagreement? In view of the re-
cent remarks made by President Will
son in regard to peace and the part
the United States should play. We have
a statement from Mr.. Garrison which
quotes him:
Any proposition which requires
the United States to enter into an
alliance with the other nations of
the world and to engage to join
with those who side with the bel
ligerent found to be righteous
against the belligerent found to be
wrongful, should be tested in the
fiery furnace of fierce debate and
discussion before it should be ac-
cepted and acted upon.
If the United States is engaged,
as suggested, in a universal alli-
ance, she is, perforce, a party to
every quarrel the wide world over.
Is it not conceivable that, instead
of pursuing her natural develop
ment along lines expressive Of
! her innate genius and energy she
| will surely be diverted therefrom.
