taken virtually every defense meas ure possible before the assembling of congress, President Wilson and his advisors in, the executive branch of the government are concentrating their efforts to prepare for more sweeping steps. for which congress sional authority will be sought.
 Details of the steps to be rec
 commended are held in closest con-
 fidence but officials let it be
 known today that among the rest
 eeneral military budget, eo-or-
 dinatine many items of expense
 deemed imperative, will be laid
 before the house and senate when
 the extra session begins.
 To Mobilize Resources
 During the day the council of na- tional defense held long conference with it's advisory committee of seven industrial leaders who mapped out mobilization plans who mapped out economic resources; the navy depart ment awarded contracts for "A de >stroyers, and called a conference of steel and other material companies for next week to consider means of speed ing up naval construction; the war department announced that failure of the army appropriation bill at the last session of congress would not he per mitted to handicap the army's prepar- ations; and regulations were promul- gated to get the country's newspapers in a voluntary censorship preventing publication of details whieh misht embarrass the government.
 With these developments President Wilson kept in close touch. Late in the afternoon. after a walk, he and Mrs. Wilson went to the state, navy and war buildings and paid visits to Secretaries Baker and Daniels at their offices. The talk with the war secre- tary lasted nearly an hour.
 May Treble Oestroyers
 In making awards on destroyers today, Secretary Daniels accepted the maximum estimate of each of the three companies submitting figures. Of the 24 ordered, nine will be built under the emergency fund, congress having specifically authorized only 15. A considerable number of other builders were in conference with of ficials, however, and indications are today's order will be doubled or even trebled if facilities for construction of the vessels can be found.
 War Chiefs Buzzing
 Regarding activities of the war de- partment, Secretary Baker made this statement:
 "Of course everybody knows that the international situation is tense. The war department, like every oth CT department of the government, is busy with a state of preparation, but without attempt on the part of the development or anybody to determine what that preparation is for, except to put our national strength in state of efficiency.
 Everybody realizes that this is sort of unnatural situation. We are making preparations and buying sup plies and all that sort of thing. and yet the policy of the country is still to be determined by the legislative body and just what will happen is to be determined by the president and congress.
 "All that you can say of the war department is that it is pressing ahead all purchases of everything that will

Miss Francis Julif and Mrs. Frank Mosler Appear Sec ond and Third Prize Win ners From Count.
RE-CHECK IS NEEDED
 TO VERIFY AWARDS
Contest Closes With Pretent- ious Party at Y. M. C. A. Attended by Hundreds of Reviews Friends.

Sixteen hundred and eight new subscriptions, placing the Bisbee Daily Review with the third largest newspaper circu- lation in the stateof Arizona, were registered, last evening at the close of the greatest vot- ing contest ever staged in Co., chise county. Three capital prizes. a big Chandler Six, a Studebaker Four and a Chev- rolet were awarded in conse- quence of the faithful and un- tiring efforts of the several con- testants and other participants shared in the munihcence of the papers offerings.
 Here's Prize Winners.
 Miss Mildred Robinson, of this city, won the first prize by earnest and consistent effort. She rolled up a total of more than two million two hundred thousand votes in the contest. Miss Frances Julif, Mrs. Frank Mosler, Miss Emmabelle Rolfe Miss Caddie Clifford, Miss Myrtle Arborn, Miss Dot Fin layson, Mrs. Doris O'Neal, Miss Lola Andreas and Mrs. Grace Milner registered in the order named. The judges figures for the contest will be further verified this morning by the Review and any dis crepencies immediately recti- fled.
 All Worked Hard.
 From the start of the great Re- view automobile voting contest the keenest kind of interest has been in evidence from all of the con- testants. Beginning with a large field of entries the number soon narrowed down, considerably, and the last few weeks has told the tale. The winners have done the hardest kind of work and the hardest workers of those in the contest succeeded in making the best showing.
 Last evening the Copper Queen band opened the final lap of the contest by an hours concert in front of the Review office on Main street. After that the machines were driven to the Y. M. C. A., proceeded by the band, and the ballot box, which had been in the vault of the bank of Bisbee for the past week, was opened and the judges began their count.
 Closes With Party.
 Tn the meantime the v. M. C. 4. had provided several numbers for the entertainment of those who had gathered to see the result of the contest. These entertainers delighted the audience until the judges, who included l. F. Bur gess, O. w. Wolf, E. A. Crocker, w. B. Hicks, and H. S. Hooper, were ready to announce their de- cision.
 Helped Review Much.
 During the entire contest, which extended over period of eight weeks, the contestants have can. vassed practically all in the War ren District who read the Eng fish language. That they were successful is proved by the num- Der of new subscribers added to the Reviews already large circu- iation.

TO THE PEOPLE
OF ELK0 COUNTY

The Elko County Red Cross chapter
is now actively engaged in making
hospital garments, dressings, band
ages, etc. for the beneflt of our
wounded soldiers. The only available
funds for the purchase of material for
these supplies is one half of the an.
nual membership dues. This amounts
to fifty cents for each member. The
chapter has already expended this en-.
tire fund in the purchase OF material,
and the new membership applications
are so few that they do not anywhere
near meet the requirements. 1t is.
therefore, necessary to provide some
means for raising enough money to
enable the chapter to keep an ample
supply of material on hand for It's
regular work. We estimate that Mt
least $4,000 month is necessary for
this purpose.
The personal voluntary monthly sub
scription plan has been decided upon
as the means for raising this money.
Just as soon as you have read this no
tice make up your mind how much
you can give each month, send II at
once to the chapter secretary, Mrs.
Charles b. Henderson, .Elko. Nevada,
stating 1t Is for the month OF August
ana that you will, without notice, send
her like amount each month.
This plan will save expense to the
chapter and much valuable time to the
ofTicers and soliciting committees. The
good sense and judgment Of the re-
sponsible people of BHo county can
well be relied upon in emergencies OF
this kind ard we feel sure there will
I've an immediate and generous re
sponse TO this call.
Subscriptions may range from 81
', cents to $1,000 a month according Il
your financial condition. Everybody
whether members of the Red CrosI
chapter or not should give something
monthly.
