 He actually congratulated Alice upon having such a lovely sister. How in

CONCERTED lCTION TAKENTO
 AV0ID DRAF TING AREON|lNo

Concerted action is now being taken in all parts of the state, both through the medium of the military authorities of the state and of the United States to recruit the First Arizona Infantry to full war strength without resOrting to the draft provision Of the state mili- tary code, or the probable draft provi- sion of the federal military law. Twelve recruiting offices have been opened throughout the state and applicants for service with the best national guard regiment in the federal service are com ing in daily.
 Sixteen men have already been sent to the regiment from the Phoenix of flee which has headquarters in the armory, and there are number of new applications already in which will be acted upon in the next day or two and the men will then be sent on to join their command. With all the buster that has been going on relative to join ing other arms of the service at this time. the national guard has been somewhat overlooked, and the adVan- tages of belonging to a regiment made up completely of AriZonians have been left unsaid. This situation will be remedied from this time on. and the public especially that branch of it avail able for military service will be ap- prised of the First Arizona Infantry and it's doings continually
 So far the recuiting stations and the officers in charge of them are as fol- lows: Phoenix: Capt. Oscar F. Temple; Globe district Capt. Joe. E. Noble; Douglas, Lieut.. Morris Bleme; Flor ence, Capt. $. o. Thompson; Prescott, including Clarkdale and Jerome. Capt. J. B. Nelson; Flagstaff including Hol- brook, Williams St. Johns, Snowflake, Kingman, Capt. E. L.
