 Every copper mine in the state is producing at maximum capacity, em- pioyins every man for whom 1t can find place underground and every smelter is treating every pound of orc possible.
 Not only the copper. but the gold and silver mines of Arizona did a great business last year. The gold output was 21l.s05 ounces, valued at $4.37s,40Q and the silver output val ued at $G,7ll.S00.

war department bs, decided aod so.

war uepdTtiHent phS ueclueu dnu du- nounced that the appointment to vol. unteer commissions will be made from those classes of our citizens who have had such experience. and that from those classes the selections will be made in the following order:
 (A)-Persons who have had experi- ence as commissioned officers in the regular army of the United States and ex-officers of volunteers of proved ex- perience and efficiency.
 (B)-Non-commission officers of experience in the regular army.
 tC)-Persons who have had experi- ence as officers in the militia.
 D)-Persons who have qualified according to law under prescribed ex- aminations to test their fitness to command and control men in the field.
 (E)-Graduates of educational in- stitutions of military standing to which regular army officers are de tailed as professors of military science under the law.
 (F)-Should the necessary number of volunteer officers required not be furnished from the above classes, the war department will give civilians lacking in actual military experience an opportunity to appear for examina- ton to test their fitness for commis- sions, before boards which the war de partment proposes to create in the several states.
 Begin Training at Once.
 Under the caption Training of Vol unteers" the war college pamphlet reads:
 "The training of volunteer troops must begin without delay after their induction into the service. No time must be lost. It should begin at the company rendezvous, without waiting for complete mobilization. Under our traditional policy of relying princi- pally for defense upon citizen sol- diers, the larger part of our land forces will not be fully trained on the outbreak of war. It is more than probable that we shall have to employ some Of them with little or TO train ing as soon as they can be assembled in suitable units.
 "The amount and character of the training will at first be directly pro- portional to the time consumed, pro- vided a rational scheme be followed. How much time will be available it is impossible to predict. It is reason able to assume, however, that in the event of a war with an oversea enemy 1t will be the time required for our enemy to establish at least partial control of the sea sufficient to open the way for landing of expeditionary forces.
 Any system of training. however, good In itself, will fail to bring the de- sired results unless there are avail able a sufficient number of trained in- structors, officers and noncommis- stoned officers. The blind cannot lead the blind"
 Referring to the mobilization of the volunteer armies, the war college points out that all points of mobiliza- ton have been selected, one in each state of the Union, and that these pre- liminary arrangements have been ap- proved by both the federal and state authorities. These plans provide for the necessary buildings, for water sup ply, and all other essential needs which will arise.

WAR REDUCES
POPULATION
OF HUNGARY
Budapest Paper characteriz.
es Situation in That Coun-
try as Alarming.

London. Oct. 22.-Hunsary has
suffered most severely Of all the BEL
llgerent countries. in proportion to
population, according to the Buda-
pest newspaper Pesti Maple. It draws
this conclusion from the study Of the
vital statistics just issued by the Hun
saIaan government. German cities
ceased to publish such statistics early
IN the war, but the Hungarian reports
basis. and the reports Of births,
deaths and marriages this year are
characterized by Pesti Naplo as most
alarming" The paper says:
Devastation al Home.
'Ihe war has caused a destruction
OF man power at the front which can
hardly be estimated, even approxi-
mately. but the devastation caused at
home seems to have been even more
terrible than that among the fighting
forces. The losses at home have GER
talnly beeA much more serious.
THE number of births and mar
riages has declined consid erably in
other countries as we'll. But in Hun
gary the excess of deaths. over births
lin the civilian population alone
has grown to such a frightful extent
that in February Of the present yNAr
the deaths exceeded the births by
more than 100, 900"
5000, 900 at Front.
The writer. after pointing out that
deaths among civilians during the
third yea of the war exceeded the
births by 10000 says that the Hun
garian losses at the front in the same
period were over 100, 900, according
to the 500 casualty lists published.
The number of men who are at the
front or who have done military serv-
ice, is given Is 5000, 900, or one-
seventh of the entire population.
Discussing the civilian death rate,
the writer says:
Deaths due to had and insufficient
food certainly increased in a very
marked way"

FRANCE NEEDS
MORE WOMEN
FOR RED CROSS
"Women's Council" Unde.
termined Whether to En-
ploy French Women.

Paris, Oct. 22.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press)-The "Wom-
ems Council of the American Red
Cross. which came into being during
the summer organization through
women France
might do their share of the work that
is to be done, is now facing the prob
lem Of whether it must employ
French women or send to America,
for additional helpers.
In response to an appeal to the
American women in France to assist
in the work. there have been found
only about three hundred who are
not already. engaged in charitable or
similar work, and this number does
not suffice to carry On the numerous
Red Cross activities that are partic-
women.
Hope for Volunteers.
This number it is hoped will in
when the summer season is over and
everyone is back in Paris. but it is
doubtful whether there will be
enough Of an additional. influx of vol
unteer workers to fill all the existing
needs.
There exists q. difference of opinion
as to the best plan-whether to make
use of the many thousands of French
women who can be obtained, or
whether to send for some Of the
equally large group at home who
have made many needed qualihca-
tons. The best present prophecy
seems to be tina both methods will
be used.
Those who want to employ French
women argue that, since much Of the
work for which they are needed is
with refugee children whom the Red
Cross is now Systematically bringing
back from the front zones. French
women are best. 1t would be a diff
cult matter they say to procure the
necessary number Of Americans who
can speak French.
Can Get Trained Women.
Those who want to do all the work
possible with Americas women rely
on their argument hat they are ina,
position to draw on trained ONE
far better equipped for the work than
0m6st any that could be secured
here, and hat the work should re-
main entirely and distinctively Amer
lean.
The need for additional workers is
chiefly felt in the canteens. the ref
its children's bureau, and the surgical
dressing work. The nursing depart
ment will Of course. become impor-
tant but it is expected that trained
nurses will come over as fast a they
are . needed.
There b lesser demand for help
ers as visitors to tuberculosis patients,
in the hospital auxiliary work. the
equipment department having charge
OF uniforms, badges. ETC.. and in the
housing department which looks out
for hotels and pensions for the work
ers who are here. There will be
more needs when the contemplated
blind, diet kitchens and home work
departments. get fully going.
American women, who~have gone
into the work thus far. range from
society women Of wealth TO poor art
students and women who have
TscrAned a. little money In the United
States to enable them to come here

son to believe will number among
its members within q few months
hundreds of thousands who will work
for the recognition Of music as n
of the most enrolling, civilizing

FINALLY the league will work for
the establishment of a national con-

BEATING PLOWSHARES FROM
SWORDS

TNHE swords shall be forged into plow-
L shares. This biblical thought is the text
for a proposal made by Senator Harding
that after the war farm be given to
each returning soldier who wants one
Thus he would reassmilate the vast mill
tary forces into the daily routine Of the
country. Cincinnatus came back to his
unfinished furrow after saving Rome from
the barbarians. pompey's soldiers were
given of the public lands and settled down
to peaceful agrarian pursuits.
Nobody speaks nowadays of the menace
Of distributing and satisfying an enormous
body of troops through with active service.
In Civil War days some persons we're wor-
ried at what would happen when the SOL
diers returned from the field. The armies
returned to normal pursuits quietly and
gladly. There was no upset. Homestead
claims were the reward of such soldiers as
desired them.
Vast stretches of public land lie fallow
now. 1t would not be an unstatesmanlike
idea to distribute these reproductive acres
to all who desire a share when our citizen
army is absorbed again into the army of
citizens. Individual careers have been in
teFiupteu' businesses nave peen disturbed
by the necessity of fighting for democracy.
Democracy owes some recompense. Dis
tribntion Of public land would be such a
compensation in many cases and would
have the additional values Of rep' enlshing
with vigorous, tested men the idle farms
of the country and of restoring agriculture
70 its prestige lost in three decades of city
ward movement of farmer folk
An army engaged in agriculture would
mean production of bumper crops. reduced
cost Of living and agrarian pursuits on a
basis to counterbalance the great industrial
and commercial trend of the age.
