NEXT QUOTA MAY GO
IN SHORT ORDER

PHOENlX. Sept 12-There is lit
tie probability that all OF the 40 per
cent contingent Of drafted men.
scheduled to entrain for mobilization
headquarters September ~, will leave
on the same date.
First intimation that the conting.
ent would be divided into smaller
groups was forthcoming today in a
telegram received by Col Fred s.
Breen from Provost Marshal General
Crowder at Washington.
While the telegram did not speci-
fically state that the contingent would
De divided into groups. it was worded
in such manner as to give that
impression. The telegram was as
follows:
Send 40 per cent of your quota 10
lamp Funston. camp Riley, Kansas.
beginning September IL. as originally
planned. This increment should be-
composed entirely OF white men"
Col. Breen bases his belief that the
contingent will be divided into groups
on the fact that the telegram states
that the men should be forwarded
starring September 10" Under pre-
viOus instructions the entire conting-
ent was to entrain on the same date.
II is believed. however, that the
plan utilized in entraining the first
contingent Of 5 per cent proved so
entirely successful that it will be fol
lowed in the entertainment OF the three
cOntingents. Such a plan
would. of course. give state and coun-
~ officials much additional work.

RUSSIA HOLDS FAST,
CONGRESS is TOLD

Washington, June 25.-Ambassa
dor Bahkmetieff. head of the Russian
mission, emphatieally declared in his
address before congress, assembled in
the hall of the house, that the Russian
people themselves oppose a separate
peace with Germany.
The ambassadors declaration came
at the end of the most remarkable
and demonstrative reception yet Civ
EN- any of the foreign missions in eth.
er house of congress. Shouts and
cheers came from floor and galleries.
The applause and cheering were re.
newed when the ambassador added:
"Rumors of a separate peace are
without foundation in fact Russia 5
endeayor is for a lasting peace be-
tween democratic nations Triumph of
the German autocracy would render
such peace impossible. Russia will
not fail to be a worthy partner in the
league of honor"
