mental unfitness, and for the eXclu sion of only sons of widowed mothers, we would have as a result about 640,- 900 men fit for training for purely military service, and these men could be called into the cantonmentS for training as rapidly as these canton ments were evacuated by the final in crements of the new national army which were, produced by the drafts under the registration of June ,, 1917.
 There have been provided at an out lay of approximately s100,000,000 six teen cantonments with lights, heat, water, and all necessary sanitary equipment installed. Each of these :antonments accommodate 10000 men, and with very small outlay can be made into permanent training canton ents suitable for use throughout the year. It will be observed that the Is cantonments will completely provide for the 640,000 men who would be av4 lable for training fox military serN ice each year
 New, by utilizing these splendid camps as permanent training quarters for 1T young men from 19 to 21 years of age we would not only conserve our young manhood but would profit by the immense equipment provided at such an enormous initial outlay. It is our plain duty to so use these camps and thus fit our youth to become real defenders of the nation. It is the ra tional the obvious thing to do.
 Of course. the logic of the foregoing points with unerring accuracy to uni versal military training as the fun damental principle of Q permanent continuing military policy. The urait law is the first great stride towards this goal and the amendment above suggested when realized, will form the second. The third and final step will have been taken when the principles of the draft law as amended along the lines suggested shall have been made the permanent military policy of the United States.
 The potentiality of nation is feared by no prepared adversary. It is the actual power it can exert at giv- en moment that compels, through fear, respect for it's sovereignty.
 The hour has struck when our citi- zens must unflinchingly ackwnoledge the burden of responsibility which is theirs. A large share of our regular army is now on foreign soil; the Ma tional Guard and the National Guard Reserves have been drafted into the military service of the United States under the provisions of Section III of the National Defense Act of June 5, 1916, which provides that when they are discharged from the service of the United States, they are discharged di- rectly into civil life, and therefore we have already witnessed the passing of the National Guard Much or all of

AN AMENDMENT
 ID DRAF I LAW
 |S PROP P0SED

The following signed statement was given out on Monday by Lieutenant General s. B. M. Young, U. $. army, commander-in-ch -chief of the military order of the Loyal Legion of the Unit ed State and president of the National association for universal military training.
 The operation of the draft law (Pup- lic-No. 12, 65th congress) has shown the absolute practica bility of register ing our citizens for service-9,6 500, 0GO of them were registered in one lay. But of this number fully 80 per cent of the married men have not hesitated to walk up and claim exemption on that ground alone, which means that only small percentage of the married men in the nation are willing to bear arms in defense of it. This is a con- dition which was not only sarprising but which is full of menace, and to which there can be but one answer the young. unmarried men must save this country even as they saved it in the civil war.
 The following statistics are from the official records of the war department and are more eloquent than any amount of argument which could be

EMPRESS OPENS As
 PICTURE THEATER
 OF HIGHEST CLASS

Beginning Saturday evening the Empress theater is no longer to be dark. This popular amusement house is to be re-opened that evening under the management of John Barn. cord and Harry Mace, whose success in the operation of the Lamara theater is too we'll known to require comment
 At the Empress Messrs. Barncord and Mace will present only the highest class moving pictures. The opening Dill will include an offering with Douglas Fairbanks in the stellar role, entitled Wild and Woody" There also will be a film of current events. For the present there will be only night showing of pictures, although it is planned to give tri-weekly matinees later.

"The Honor System," showing pictures of the penitentiary at Florence and the former prison at Yuma, with former Governor Hunt and other Arizonians is also scheduled for an early showing.
 In announcing the approaching re- opening of the Empress yesterday, Manager Harry Mace of the Lamara
 said that the Paramount, William Fox and Aircraft pictures all went on the open market on August ,, and in order to protect themselves it was necessary to secure an additional place for the showing of the increased output of these companies with whom the La- mara now has contracts. It is planned to make the Empress one of the coziest theaters in town. The interior is now being remodelled and redecorated

Publication in The Republican yes terday of the names of the two high waymen arrested in New Mexico on Monday brought Mrs Mercer, whose husband is employed by the Southwestern Cotton company, to the sheriffs office with the information that Joe Darnell is her son by a former marriage. She has not seen her son since the afternoon preced- ing the theft of the Irvine automo- bile. He had been employed for more than a year and a half by the Light ming Delivery, she said. Although Mercer does not deny that she is convinced that one of the young men under arrest is her son.
 From other sources it was learned yesterday that z. M. Hayworth. ar rested with Young Darnell, also is from Phoenix, and is an acquaintance of Darnell. He was employed by an implement concern whose headquart- CTS are opposite the barns of the Lightning Delivery No person was found yesterday who remembered of having seen Hayworth since the day when Tom Irvine after having driven his machine into the Cave Creek district, carrying two passengers, was forced to turn his car over to the young men and return to Phoenix afoot.
 The car was driven by these men into New Mexico where they at tempted another holdup. with the result that in a pistol battle which followed, one of the victims of the holdup men was killed. The bandits were forced to abandon the car in which they had made the trip into New Mexico and took refuge in cave three miles from the scene of the fatal encounter. There they were captured some time Monday by a posse of deputies.

All of the very "dernier cri'' yet each one differing from the others, they have caused a great deal of comment in the world of fashion. The gown Pauline Frederick wears in the secenes show ing the reception is an especially ex- quisite affair of silver lace. deep fringes and net and made in the latest style. Others of special attractiveness are one in black net literally covered with glittering sequines of jet and having the odd 'shirred in" skirt: a dancing frock completely made of silver lace and tissue; besides several of filmiest net and lace.

ONLY [ PER CENT ID
 CAMP WITH FIRST

Colonel F. s. >Breen, disbursing off cer for Arizona and agent for the se- lective draft, has failed in an effort to have larger percentage of the drafted men from this state sent to the can comments with the first consignment. He believes it would be to their ad- vantage to get on the ground early. Most of the boys, now that they are going, want to go quickly and be old timers when the rest arrive
 But it cannot be done, according to a message from General Crowder :. Each county may send as much as one per cent of it's quota of the first five per cent, a day. or send the first five per cent altogether. But it cannot do more than that, for account must be taken of limited transportation fla cilities.

PEACE TREATIES ARE
 IMPOSING DOCUM VENTS

When the war comes to an end a treaty of peace will be signed, sealed and delivered, as between the various belligerents.
 This will be a most imposing doc ument, written by hand throughout, sealed with many seals, and bound about with green silk ribbon. Follow ing the usual custom, each copy will begin with the words. Tn the name of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity" Should, however. Turkey be one of the signatory powers, as seems probable, this formula will be altered to Tn the Name of Allah the Almighty God" in the copy allotted to her.
 At least as many original copies as there are signatory powers will be signed and sealed, while several cer- tified copies will be signed. but not sealed, for the sake of convenience. The original copies will be securely locked up in the State archives of the different countries; the certified cop ies will be used for printing from for reference.
 Peace treaties are not written straight across the page, or pages, like ordinary documents. They are written in parallel columns, one in English, the next in French, the next in Italian, German, Russian, and so on, according to the number of languages spoken by the peoples of the signatory powers. The text of each of these columns is an exact translation of the text of all the other columns, and the

NOW OR FEVER
 FOR GERMANY
l 'heory of U-Boat Campaign is
 \ Quick Victory.

The first German theory was that ] France could be eliminated before Britain's strength could be accumulat- ed. The present theory seems to be that Britain can be eliminated before Americas strength can be made to count But the Germans undoubtedly know that if they fail within the next few months they are utterly lost. In a war of attrition our resources would be decisive
 Unless the Germans can succeed al once they must fail terribly Germany has never been willing to face pro longed siege because it can end only one way. Her superior technique is discounted if it cannot be used for a quick decision. The proclamation of unlimited submarine war means that Germany faces and cannot endure a war of resources. She strikes 1here- fore violently at England, the aack- bone of the coalition.
 If Germany fails to bring Engla nd down suddenly she will have raised up another England will have more Ian doubled the power of her enemies. be cause America possesses exactly those resources which would be conclusive in a long war. We may take it as certain. therefore, that the chancellor spoke the truth when he said Germany was now stalking everything. This is indeed her last chance. It is the only weapon she has left, and it is a wea- pon which will make her or break her in a very few months Her dec ision is the strongest possible eviden ce that Germany needs a quick peace.
 If she dared to face a long war it would be military madness to draw in the United States. Isn't it madness anyway? The answer to that quest ion depends on the effectiveness of the submarine, and on that point no one is competent to speak. We may be certain of one thing, however. The l more moderate elements in German | politics have not yielded without con sidering the possibility of failure.- New Republic.
