subject to the limitations of absence of funds, it might be desirable to con- slider the formation of state training camps, say at Prescott and Huachu- ca. These could take care of the men of 20-26, for month as already in dicated under section B.
 (e.) It appears to the chairman of this committee that universal service is the only method for a democracy. In this plan all men physically fit will be called upon for training service, irrespective of wealth, education or social standing. In this manner alone will every man be prepared to step to the colors at a moments notice, and subject only to the necessary hardening process, it will be possible in minimum of time to raise a max mum army with a minimum expense. CD Coordination of existing or ghnizations. Et seems advisable that study of our new state law for mili- tary training in the high schools, as well as the new Defense Act' of 1916 should be undertaken by the Law Committee of the Council of De fense. This is especially advisable as the Federal law provides for the or ganization of junior units, O. R. c. and carries provisions for the assist ance to some extent with uniforms, | rifles and other equipment.
 (g) Data as to armories, munitions supply. This should be obtainable from the State Puartermaster. Fur i thermore, every motor car, and truck with full data as to its age, past ser vice, condition and capacity, should | be tabulated for immediate reference. Only part of this information can be- obtained from the Secretary of State. Also every draft animal should like wise be recorded with the most import ant points concerning same.
 (h) Aviation, equipment and install lation. Signal Corps and communica- tion. This is very expensive propoI sition, including not only aeroplanes of different types, but motor truck divisions, wireless, and telegraph and telephone work.
 If a way to finance such work could be evolved it would be of assistance to our forces in the field in that at least partially trained men could be pre- pared for the more advanced work of the army schools. Or it might be poss- ible to devise some scheme by which men desiring this training could be sent to one of the civilian schools now in operation. This work should be organized at the earliest possible date.
 I would further suggest the poss- ible desirability of training some, possibly women, in camp and field cooking, so that our soldiers might not only be properly fed, but that the tre- mendous waste noticed in the early days with the English amry might be prevented. tS
 I would also suggest the cataloging of telephone, telegraph and wireless operators and the instruction of oth- CTS, especially women in these lines.

DEFENSE COUNCIL TAKES UP MANY
 POINTS

Tucson, Ariz., May 10-Among the matters which will be considered at a meeting of the executive committee of the Arizona Council of Defense at Tucson, Arizona, is the cost of estab- fishing a summer military training camp at the University. Colonel Le- roy Brown, chairman of the sub-com- mittee on military training, has pre- sented a report to the executive con- mittee of the council, which is in part as follows:
 (a) Encouragem of enlistment This question seems to be about solv- ed by congressional action in the un- doubted passage of a selective con- scription act in the very near future To my mind this is the only logical manner of treating this proposition It will mean first that the patriotism and sentiment of our woung manhood will not be permitted to be exploited by those less patriotic, but none the less indebted to this government and it's institutions, who would otherwise remain at home, profiting in many in. stances by the absence of those vol unteering to serve with Une colors Secondly, it will mean that many whose greatest duty can be fulfilled in industrial lines will be refused en- 1 listment. Thirdly, it will prevent the marching away only of those most
 periodically minded, leaving behin'
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1917-05-11

those less patriotic, or even unpat riotic, as well as those that might be traitors, to control or at least in- fluence government and public opin- ion to an increased degree. I have constantly urged enlistment in the army, navy, marine corps and National Guard, and particularly the attendance of those qualified at the training camps this summer, as well as en- trance into the Officers Reserve corps.
 (b) Training additional forces. It appears to me that provided funds can be raised, it would be highly de. sirable for junior camp to be es. tablished, for example at Oracle where | for two to three months as, many boys of 16-1S as could be obtained should be subjected to fairly strict discipline, routine and training. Poss ibly non-commissioned officers from the U. of A. and Normal battalions J could be obtained to assist in this work. Further it seems highly de sirable, again subject to the limita tions of expense, to give all men De tween certain ages, as 20-26, one months training.
 (c) Additional forces for home de fense can be organized as Rifle Clubs affiliated with the N. R. A. This or ganization, under the supervision oi the War Department, can obtain un der proper precautions, a limited mum Der of rifles and 120 rounds of ammuni tion per member for purpose of prac tice, and more ammunition can be pur chased. Such a club, which having no duties, rights or powers as peace organization, can nevertheless unof ficially offer it's services to the sher if of the county and if officered and drilled as drill corps, can be of in valuable service if the necessity arises.
 (d) State Training Camps. Again
