MUCHA PEEVE IS
 ANTONIO FOR BREEN
CErnm SunnaYs CailYl


 Antonio Mercado, a resident of the hustling little town of Mayer and who claims to be a subject of the more or less great republic to the south, has been greatly irritated, peeved and ex- asperated by the remarkable insist ence displayed by Provost Marshal General Crowder and hi cohorts of assistants with relation to the draft regulations, and furthermore, Senor Mercado has not the least hesitancy in saying SO. Mercado appeared be- fore the local exemption board sev- eral days ago in a somewhat casual manner, and put in a claim for exemp- ton on the grounds that he was a citizen of Mexico.
 He was told to substartiate his claim by producing the required affi- davits, but 1t seems that he went away without having done so; if the haugh- ty board would not take his word for | it, he would not bother about the mat ter further. He apparently gave the matter no more thought and in the course of time his name turned up in the stacker list.
 Accordingly, Colonel Breen. State disbursing officer, directed to Mir. Mercado, along with many others, a small pink card, informing him that he had one more chance, and to hurry l. up and tell his troubles to the local board.
 Several days ago, following the re- ceipt of the notice from headquarters, ! Mercado sent letter to Breen, in- forming him that the notice had been received, and stating furthermore that the writer could not come unless he came afoot, and he could not do that. He said further: q am a poor man, and days work means great deal to me even if l came afoot. I have debts amounting to $75 for living ex- penses."
 He reiterated that he had told them at Prescott that he was a Mexican citizen, and he added with an appear ance of hnality, T do not wish to be molested any further" The probabilities are that before he is through with 1t he will be molested whole lot and he will think the mo- lestation has begun in earnest when he receives the following telegram: Phoenix, Sept. IA. "A. Mercado,
 Mayer, Ariz.
 You are ordered to report to the local board at Prescott on September 10th for transportation to the mobil- ization camp. (Signed). "BREEN.' What will be done with him and others similarly situated there, is a matter of conjecture; perhaps the au- thorities themselves have not yet de- termined But there will be a great array in the mobilization camps of aliens, invalids and cripples who re- lied upon their disabilities and dis qualifications to disregard the call be- fore the local boards Because one has leg or an arm missing or be- cause he is totally blind is no reason why he should not respond to the call

some quarters here that the Neapoli-

rear during the first of the present in
vasion shouting "Long live peace!"
Long live the Pope!" This incident
comes to The Christian Science Moni-
tor from "a source that is always re-
liable. The cry of the Neapolitans
has been interpreted in these same
quarters as indications beyond a
doubt that the troops we're inspired
to their enthusiasm for peace and the
Pope by their priests, and that the
priests themselves received their In.
structions from higher authority of
the Roman Catholic Church.
The exact details of the treachery
which opened the front for the Ger
man and Austria invasion of Italy
have not come through, but it is con-
sidered more than possible that the
agency Of these powers for this coup
is not far removed from the Vatican.
The priesthood in Italy, working
through the families of soldiers and
directly with the men themselves, it
seems certain to some, have been able
to inspire sentiments that caused the
Neapolitans, at least, to cry for peace
as they retired.
The assertion Is made again in cir

is the propaganda in countries at war
