REPORTS RESIGNATION
 GERMAN CHANCELLOR
Statement Published in Vossis- che Zeitung of Berlin-Em- perOr Has Postponed His De- ciSiOn in Matter.
loto by American Press Association

Amsterdam, July PA rumor has reached Holland that the entire Ger man government will resign with Im- perial Chancellor von Bethmann-H Holl- veg, the main committee of the Reich stag having refused to vote a war credit unless the government declares it's policy regarding peace and reform, which the government has declined to do. An imperial proclamation is con- sidered imminent.
 A telegram from Berlin today says that it was the intervention of the crown prince that caused the chancel- Tor to tender his resignation.
 The Vossiche Zeitung and Lokal Anzeiger, both of Berlin, agree that the chancellor resign owing to let ter from a center or clerical party declaring that the conclusion of a peace would be rendered more difficult if he retained his office.

ASK INFORMATION
 CONCERNING ARKANSAS

Little Rock, July 13.-That the end of the European war will see many natives of Italy immigrating to the United States, and that many women and children desire to come now, is the opinion of the Italian authorities, and they have written Commissioner of Agriculture John H. Page asking for information concerning Arkansas as desirable location for them.
 Commissioner Page has written to the Italian authorities calling their attention to. the many Italians in Ar kansas, particularly the colonies at Tontitown and Hannaberry, one in the fruit belt, and the other in the cotton region. He gave individual cases of Italians who have become wealthy in Arkansas, and asked the officials to write them for further par ticulars. Commissioner Page stated that all Italians who have come to Ar kansas say this state is much like their native land, particularly the northern section, and if they succeed in agricultural or horticultural pur- suits in Italy, they will probably do likewise in Arkansas.

BAKER MAKES PUBLIC
 ARMY DRAFT SCHEME
Drawing Probably Will Take Place Wednesday, Estimate One Out of Fourteen Will Go to Trenches.

Washington, July 12.-Every man of the 9,500,000 or more in the United States who registered is to be drafted The drawing which is to be made next week, probably Wednesday, will de- termine merely who is to be called first.
 The first numbers drawn will be the men first ordered to the colors. There will be million of them. If out of that million the War Department finds, when physical and industrial exemptions are made, that there are not enough left to form national army of 5OO,O00 and fill the ranks of the regular army and national guard to war strength, additional men will be called out until this is done.
 This plan was made public by Sec retary Baker today in long inter- view with newspaper correspondents. The secretary said that he himself probably would draw the numbers.
 Selection of the million men who will be called out first will take but few minutes. The numbers drawn will be key numbers which will apply to each district in the state for which the draft is being made. The states will be taken in alphabetical order. Each will have set quota to supply for the first million. If there are 50 districts in the state and 200 regis trants in each district-and compari- son of the district lists has shown that they average around the same figure-each key number drawn will mean that 90 men have been drafted. II will take but second to draw each key number.
 The fact that every man is to be drafted does not mean that he will have to serve. He may never be called to the colors. But his name will be on the list, no matter how far down, and he will be subject to call if needed.
 Government officials hit upon this plan as the simplest and most effect i've. It does away with the necessity for a separate draft for each new in- crement, as conditions prove it neces- sary.

HOO l. wv. LEADERS
 DRIVEN FROM ARIZONA
Deportation Was Resisted and

Bisbee, Ariz., July 12.-More than HOO alleged Industrial Workers of the World deported from Bisbee to- day are aboard 24 cattle cars tonight speeding toward New Mexico. Their announced destination is Columbus.

 A strike was called here by the metal workers branch of the I. W. w. about two weeks ago. Since then, ac- cording to officials, scores of strange men have been in Bisbee. These men are alleged to have prevented miners from returning to work. Plans for the roundup" of alleged undesir- ables were made at midnight by Harry C. Wheeler, sheriff of Cochise county.

The defense of the doctor was that he and Bright were personal friends; that he formerly occupied Brights store as an office, that Bright frequently permitted him to carry key to the store and sell goods to GUS toners; that on the night in question he stopped at the store, found the door open and went in to see if certain groceries he needed were in the store, before coming to Prescott the next morning.

Judge Haynie held that county judge had no right to interfere with the orders of superior court and fined Judge Rhoden S25.00 for con- tempt of court.
 When the case of the State against Cole Graham, charged with the mur- der of Ed Edgar, was called yesterday the defendant failed to appear.
