HIGH PRAISE IS GIVEN BOYS OF
 THIS STATE
IN LETTER TO GOVERNOR CAMPBELL, COL. YULE COMMENDS MEN FOR GOOD DISCIPLINE AND LOAN CONTRIBUTIONS.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The following letter from Colonel F. H. Yule, commanding the 34Oth Field artillery, national army, to Gov ernor Thomas E. Campbell Is of such importance in regard to the doings of the Arizona boys, that it is herewith published:
 Headquarters, 34Oth Field Artillery,
 x. A., Camp Funston, Kansas,
 October 31. 1917. From: E. H. Yule, Colonel, 34Oth
 F. A., N A.
 To: Hon. Thomas F.. Campbell,
 Governor of the State of Arizona,
 State House, Phoenix. Arizona. Subject: Amount subscribed for bcnc- fit of football teams, ct cetera.
 l. am in receipt of your two let ters of October 10th and 23rd, enclos- ing checks for Sl57 and SIP respect lively. I have turned this money into the regimental fund, and immediately had it checked out to the eight organ izations of the regiment, one-eighth to each, viz: to Headquarters Com- pary, Supply Company, BatteriesA, |, B, (, D, E and F.

Occasionally l attend "sick-call'' and I find that a great many men are reporting, "bunged up" from playing football so I guess there Is lots going on that don't see: all of which goes to make a good regiment As you say in yom letter you have gotten lots of enjoy- mcnt out of football might say that also have, although l never played the game. During my college days, l was considered too scant and light for football, and was worked on the track-team; was in all the long-dis- tance runs, which, iii way, calls for about as much courage as playing football

In fact most of the outfits have already spent . mony for football outfits raised by subscriptions from the men. Now that money is coming from home, this releases that much of the battery funds, which they can use for other purposes.

centrating in few central establish ments. Public kitchens seem likely to become a general institution in the coming Winter, not only among the poor, but among the more well-to-do.
 A coal rationing system has been in force in Holland for some time, the amount apportioned to each user be- ing changed as the supply increases or diminishes. Further economy in coal consumption is inevitable. Railroad traffic is again to be cut down. The closing of factories for lack of fuel is increasing and public lighting has been reduced. The use of gas and electric light is to be rationed through out Holland during the Winter months.
 The production of the country's own coal mines is only fifth of the normal consumption. The unrestrict- ed submarine war, coupled with con ditions imposed by the British gov ernment, almost entirely stopped the supply of coal usually imported from the United Kingdom. Germany some time since cut down its coal deliveries to the Netherlands to 35O,OOO tons a month. The Germans offered to guar antec certain fixed coal supply again but intimated that if Holland wanted more it should send Dutch labor to the German mines to raise it. But il was publicly declared by the govern mcnt that this was impracticable. Fear of complications with the En- tentc Powers would alone probably suffice to keep Holland from adopting ,this plan.

TALK OF RAISING THE DRAFT AGE
 ID FORTY
WE MUST MAKE PREP ARATIONS, SAYS co N- GRESHAM KAHN AS IF THE WAR WAS GOING TO LAST FOREVER.

WASHINGTON, Nov s. - Shall the present selcctivc conscription act be amended: Shall the ages of those subject 10 its operations be revised both upward and downward:
 These are to be among the big questions argued as soon as congress assemblies for its regular session in December. Congressman Julius Kahn has announced his intention of pro posing an amendment to compel the registration of all citizens from IS to 40 inclusive, giving America a reserve of 2l,000000 to draw upon. The present ages arc from 2l to 31.
 The war departments original plan was for men from Is to g. There was objection to taking those who did not yet have vote, and congress amended the act to make it read from 2l to 40. Then there was objection that between the ages of 3l and 40 a vast majority of men had dependent families. So the present figures were finally reached.
 Right after Kahn announced his i'm tention of proposing an amendment in December, it was stated that Secrc- tary of War Baker was opposed to any change. Kahn wired back from California that at least part of his amendment was misunderstood. He does not mean that boys of Is to 2l shall be sent into the trenches, but he does want them registered and given preliminary training, so that when they become 2l they will be ready to take their place in the fight ing lines. He also said that no man over 3l would be called for active service until those in the present draft limits had all been called up for ex- animation and possible service.
 "Wc must make preparations" said Kahn, "as if the war were going to last forever That will be the surcr way to bring the war to a successful end and to establish peace that will last
 Major General Crowdcr, provost marshal of the army, who drew up the practical working arrangements for the draft said:
 ''I have no official opinion 10 voice on the question of raising the age limit above 30 years. As practical matter, 1t Is not necessary to raise the age limit. We have great reservoir still untappcd in the men between 2l and 3l. We examined only a little more than 2,0OO,0OO out of the l0,0OO.- 000 registered, in order 10 secure our army of over 100000, and all we have to do is to go on and examine the other S,0O0,000.
 The statistics of the draft have not yet been compiled, but it is easy 10 guess that between the ages of 20 and 3l the causes for exemption arc more numerous.
 "Matrimony is not the most favor able institution for creation of an army: wives and home tics form an antagonistic interest to army work. The younger men have fewer of these ties.
 There may be good reasons for discussing an increase in the age limit l have no doubt Congressman Kahn has excellent reason for intro ducing his proposal"

SESSION IS NOT A CAUSE
 FOR ALARM
OFFICERS WHO CALL E D ESSION OF INVESTI- GATORS SAY THEY HAD NOBODY IN MIND; JUST A MATTER OF FORM.
(From Saturdays Dally.l

A county official who was directly connected with the matter of calling the grand jury which IS to convene on November Eth, was yesterday questioned as to the significance of the calling of the body, and asked if any particular happening or circum- stances occurring lately had made it advisable to have the inquisitorial body gather.
 In reply to the question, the official replied as follows:
 'In calling for the session of the grand jury, we have had in mind no particular chain of circumstances which made it necessary for the jury to convene, but we merely feel that inasmuch as the county has had no grand jury for more than four years, the presence of such a body may be instrumental in giving number of citizens a chance to come in and tell their troubles, and cite cases of law violation 1t they can do so. We un- llldl PNASOiio CT NOiA tinually making complaints to the peace officers regarding some alleged lawlessness, and whep the complain ing parties arc asked by the officials to swear out a complaint against the law breakers, the kickers refuse to do so, and we believe that they can now have their inning by telling their trou- bles to the jury.
 Tt was the original plan of the jaws in the Western States to have the grand juries the sole instrument through which charges could be made against an alleged law breaker, and in the early days. before the practice of filing informations came into vogue an offender sometimes had to stay in jail for six months or year before session of the jury was held which could either free him or bring an in dictmcnt against him. As the jury could not be in session all the time, and a great injustice was sometimes worked on persons who were not guilty of the crimes with which they had been charged, the plan of having the county attorney file informations against the offenders was originated, and the usefulness of the grand jury gradually lcsscncd. However, the Arizona laws provide that jury can be called at least once year whether there appears to be any need for its services or not. The policy of the county attorneys hcreabouts of late years has apparently been against calling for sessions of the jury, and the body has not been called since the early part of 1913.
 While in all probability there are a number of fragrant cases of law-break- ing, particularly among the whiskcy sellers, which will receive the atten- ton of the jury, we had no specific case or cases in mind al the time the call was issued. There is no doubt but that the call for the jury will serve 10 temporarily check the activities Of number of the gamblers and boot leggers, because such persons always rightly fear the consequences of brush with this body, and the calling of the jury will be worth while ii 1t only causes a few of these law-brcak' CTS to suspend business for only a short time"

GRAND JURY ID MEET TUESDAY
 NOVEMBER q
SUPERIOR COURT ACTING ON REQUEST OF COUN- TY RNEY AND SHERIFF SUMMONS THE INOUISITORIAL BODY.
(From Fridays Dailyl


 Orders were issued out of the Su- perior court yesterday afternoon, fol- lowing a written request filed by County Attorney r. l.. Haworth and Sheriff J. r. Young, calling for scs- sion of the grand jury, the body to convene in this city on the morning Of Tuesday, November 27th. The clerk of the court was instructed to draw the jury on November 18th.
 While the court officials refuse to disclose the reason, if any exists. for the summoning of the grand jury, it is generally believed that the session is desired for the purpose of invcsti- gating the gambling which is report ed to be going on in various parts of the county While the recent crusade against the alleged participants in this forbidden form of amusement is generally supposed to have put stop to large part of tie gaming, 1t ap- pears that there are indications that many other gar.es arc being operated which divers officials have apparently failed to put a c-imp in, and the ef- forts of the jury are desirable at this time in an attempt to eliminate the activities of the devotees of the god of chance
 Yavapai county has not been blessed with session of the grand jury since 1913. The present session was called at the instance of Sheriff Young and County Attorney Haworth, who inti- mated to the court that there were number of odds and ends which jury might aid materially in cleaning up.
 No Notice of Trial.
 Counsel representing the Arizona Copper Queen Mining Company yes tcrday petitioncd the court, asking for suspension of the judgment which had been rendered against the com pany in favor of Horace E. Mann, the plaintiff having been awarded the sum of Sl 900 for personal injuries. Ac- cording to the statement of the de- fendant's attorney, the company did not get a formal notification of tho fact that suit had been started against it and hence did not appear in court to contest the case at the time it was tried by jury. In view of this fact, the company believes that the judgment should be suspended. The matter was taken under adviscmcnt, and decision will be rendered on December lst.
 Declared Insane.
 Louis Matlyjak, resident of the Jerome district, was yesterday de- clarcd to be of unsound mind by a lunacy commission composed of Drs. Looncy and Judge. The man was or dcred to the State insane asylum, and was taken there yesterday by Sheriff 1 Joe Young Mrs. Rcish. who was found to be insane several days ago. was also taken to the Phoenix insti- tuition yesterday.
 Welsh Still In Custody.
 Mat Welsh, now held in jail on a charge of gambling, appeared in court yesterday by his attorney and asked that he be released from custody, having secured the signatures of Henry Brinkmeycr and George Ruff ncr to his bond. Welsh had been at liberty under bond of $500. but his bondsmcn surrendered him and col lcctcd the cash which they had had up for his appearance. When the matter came up again yesterday, the court decided that it would bear fur thcr investigation, and continued the case indefinitely.
