ARMY DRAF I |S
 NUT APPLIED TO
 ANY J. 5. ALIENS

Not fully understanding the provis- ions of the selective draft many ranch employees, who are not citizens of the United States are said to be resigning their positions and endeavOring to make theid way into Mexico hoping to avoid compulsory military service. In this connection it can be stated that the fears of these people are entirely groundless. While they will be ex- pected to register there is absolutely no chance of the draft being applied to them. Only American citizens are sub- ject to the provisions of the draft measure.
 All who register will not be subject to the draft. Many citizens will have just cause for claiming exemption. In the case of foreigners no such claim will have to be made. The fact that they are not citizens eXempts them au t0maticalIy. The registration required clears their status on registration day So it will be seen that it is an entirely unnecessary step for this class to leave good positions and quit the country.
 Herewith is summarized the law re- lating to registration:
 Every male resident of the United States, who has reached his Fist and has not reached his 31St birthday must register on the day set. June ,, 1917.
 The only exceptions are persons in the military or naval service of the United States which includes all off cers and enlisted men of the regular army, the regular army reserve. the of ficers' reserve corps, the enlisted re- serve corps, and national guard and na- tional guard reserve. recognized by the militia bureau of the war department; the navy, the marine corps. the coast guard and the naval militia, the naval reserve forces; the marine corps re- serve and the national volunteers, rec ognized by the navy department.
 Registration is distinct from draft No matter what just claim you have for exemption you must register. Reg istration is a public duty. For those not responsive to the sense of this du- ty. the penalty of Imprisonment. not fine is provided in the draft act

Two distinct features are the offer ing at the Hip for the final times today. The big picture presents Sirely Mason, whom the critics say is one of the com ing women of pictures, in a splendid virile story of the Canadian woods, The Law of the North North of fif- ty-three, tis said, "a mans past s his own" In this rugged country there is filmed a story so filled with what the film makers call punch that it is hard to pick a distinguishing feature. Snow scenes where the beautiful is several feet deep to the swift race of the dog teams over the frozen crust the picture abounds in wonderful scenic environment and the characters are the best offered since Gods Country and The Woman in this type of pictures.
 Second only to the five-reeler is the Pathe News weekly which shows the first picture taken of Roosevelt Dam this spring when it Overflowed for the second time since constructed. The wa ter is shown flowing over the new spill ways which are elevated several feet above the old brink of the falls. Sol diers of the first Arizona are shown guarding the dam day ana n-gnt. They challenge all who pass over the big structure. The weekly is filled with good current events, Tomorrow comes When Love was Blind,' with Florence LaBadie.

We have met the enemy, and he is ours"
 Thus the boys food battalion from the Phoenix Union high school, nearly two- score strong, saluting their super for officer, begs to report that, long before the shades of Saturday night begun their customary falling. the bat talion. weary, but victorious. had re- tired from the field in perfect order, with the enemy busted from every stronghold The field referred to is the Holmes cotton ranch near Tolleson, and the enemy the pestiferous weeds with which the cotton field was infested pre- vious to the charge.
 The cotton field attacked by the food battalion is eighty acres in extent and it required just a day and half for the boys to complete the work. Mir. Holmes, the owner of the farm, was so well pleased with the work of the boys, because they had not carelessly injured the cotton plants, that he immediately contracted with them to clean 1S0 acres more of cotton land. The battalion started work on the second field at once, and by last night has cleaned 30 acres of it, making 50 acres for the day.
 Thirty three boys composed the bat talion" yesterday and they worked un- der the direction of w. w. Carpenter w. Wilson. H. Gambee and H. Stauf- facher of the high school faculty. Some of the boys earned as much as $S.50 and S4 yesterday, being paid at the rate Of s160 an acre.

BY MOTOR TRUCKS PROBLEM SOLVED
 OF FEEDING ARMY

. Government experts surely will go over every hauling problem relating di- rectly or indirectly to the big issue now facing, not only this country, but the world. and only the most economical solution will be adopted, is the opinion of Warren McArthur, of McArthur Brothers.
 The outcome of the present struggle depends in a large measure >on the available supply of food, says Mr Me Arthur. Two important factors enter into this problem: first, production; second, distribution.
 Now let us see what part the horse plays in the pressing scheme of life. He consumes g large part of the food he helps produce; then delays the transporta of a great part of what remains and which is so sorely needed. One horse consumes in year the pro- duct of five acres. The 25.000, 900 horses in the United States would require a single farm of the size of Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio combined. The acre age would support 375 million persons.
 The horse is not as strong as he looks. He is an optical deluslOn. In the last ten years his cost has increased 143 per cent. but he Is no stronger than he was 90 or 5000 years ago. ThOus- dHuS OI tcdlilSleiS dtt Ie4ulItu IOi tNt haphaZard performance in teaming. An army of men is required to clean the streets. Millions of dollars are spent for this purpose in a year
 The avalanche of orders already and about to be placed with manufacturers for the equipment of our army means a terrific strain on our present system of distribution. The motor truck is the solution, and. passing my opinion on the sales reports. the Packard truck will play a big part in the rapid and eco nomical movement of freight"

Helen Holmes at Plaza

Today only, at the Plaza will be shown the pretentious screen drama
 tiza tion of Judith of the Cumber-
 land" with Helen Holmes as Judith.
 Alice MacGowan's story is of a beau
 tiful girl born of rough mountain pa
 rents and raised among the narrow
 clannish mountaineers with their bitter feuds and their rabid views of laws which they refuse to understand. Helen Holmes gives one of the most delightful and convincing performances of her notable career as a star.
 Love enters into the life of the wild child of the mountains when she meets Creed, a handsome young lawyer who hopes to teach the inha bitants of Tur- key Tracks, her native town, to respect the law The determination of her cous- ins to drive Creed out of the mountains because he learns of the existence of ! their illicit whiskey still, leads to a series of deeply absorbing situations
 and exciting cimaXes in which Helen Holmes scored heavily while rising to the great heights of emotional acting called for by this absorbing drama
 Judith of the Cumberlands" is a successful novel because il is a power ful story written around unusually in- terestng characters. As a drama its fascination is increased by the remark
 able interpretation of these characters by Helen Holmes.

SCIENTISTS 1T STATE TENDER
 THEIR OFFICES
More Than Two Hundred
 Well Equipped Labora- tories Ready to Assist In
 Work for the Government

Arizona's scientific men, to the number of several hundred stand ready and willing and are even anX ious to serve the government in any capacity for which their training fits them.
 That many of them already are at work endeavoring to solve the pro- hlem of the sLDmarine menace and in other scientific lines of endeavor for which the government in the present crisis is in great need, is made public Defense Saturday by D. T. MacDoug- an chairman of the subcommittee on scientific research.
 Due to the fact that Arizona is the leading mining state of the union. there are more than 200 laboratories in the state, including chemical, me tallurgical botanical, pathological. hospital and others. many of which are equipped in the fullest degree to accomplish the highest class of work
 All of these laboratories have been placed at the disposal of the govern ment. the report says, together with the staffs of skilled men connected with them. Many of these labOratOr- ies already are being used in prose cutting valuable scientific eXperiments for the benefit of th1 government. A system of nterCommunication be- tween investigators in the same line of scientific work in tho state is shortly to oe established and main tained by the committee.
 Probably one of the most import ant phases of the work Ci the com mittee has been the examination, with suggestions, criticism or apDrov- al of many plans and models which are aimed to assist in coping with submarine warfare Some of these the report says, have been turned over to the federal government for further investigation
 Metallurgical research by members of the committee and by co-operators already is under way, the report fur ther says and while it is not pOssi- ble to report definite results in re- gard to these, the committee declares that by the cooperation of several minds on a single subject with a view not of nereonal gain but oroat-
