FRIENDLY ALIENS MAY BE
 DRAFTED INTO U. s. ARMY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24.- Drafting of all aliens in the United States, except Germans, others ex- empt by treaty, and those of coun- tries allied with Germany who have resided in this country one year is proposed in joint resolution passed today by the senate and sent to the house. It is estimated that more than one million aliens would be affected.
 Under the resolution by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, chairman of the senate military affairs committee, subjects of allies or neutrals claim ing treaty exemption, would be al- lowed to leave the country within ninety days.
 Inequalities of the operation of the draft law because of exemption of large proportions of aliens in many district were cited by Senator Cham berlain to show the need of his reso- lution. The pending resolution by Senator McCumber, authorizing the president to negotiate for drafting aliens in this country had failed, he said, to bring results, and Senator Lodge assailed the administration for not taking independent action. Few

were present during discussion and there was no record of vote on the resolution.
 Amendments adopted would permit the use of aliens of Germany in this country for other than military pur- poses would provide that in future drafts credit shall be given for the ex- cessive proportion in the recent draft due to the exemption of aliens and provide against repatriation of Amer jeans who have joined the allies.

REGISTRARS MAKE
 A LONG CRUISE
Unalga travels several Thousand Miles To Register Cannery Hands
 Search for Lost Crew

The United States Coast Guard steamer Unalsa arrived in port on Tuesday evening last after a voy- age covering several thousand miles. for the purpose of registering elisi- bles under the Conscription Act at the various canneries at the west ward and the island fishing and whal- ing and fishing stations. which other wise could not be reached within the period set for registration.
 The Unalga left Valdez on July 20. and proceeded west. stopping at the various canneries and fishing stations as far west as Dillingham; in Bristol Bay, registering the employees. The work of registration was completed August 17 at Naknek. and the total number of persons registered by the registrars on the Unalga, Lieutenant Forget and Ensigns Clarke and liar vey, was 2,14S.
 The work of registration had just been completed on the evening of August IT when a wireless message was received telling of the wreck of the Japanese steamer Kotohira Maru, the rescue of a portion of the crew by the steamer Santa Ana and the fact that the captains boat and sev- enteen of the crew were missing. Ear ly on the morning of the 18th the Unalga sailed from Naknek for Am chitka island, where the steamer was reported to have struck. A wireless message from the Santa Ana stated the sailors rescued by that steamer reported that all the boats when leav- ing the wreck, had agreed to put thru to the north side of the Aleutians and make for Unalaska. The Unalga therefore kept to the north side of the peninsula, examining every island thoroughly until it reached Adak strait, between Adak and Kanuga. through which it passed to the south. and visited the group of small islands there and thence on to Amchitka Isl and. This island was circled, but no trace of the wreck was seen, and 1t was believed that the Japanese of- fcers had made mistake in the po- sition of their vessel when it struck, and a search was made on other isl ands to the north and west, but no trace of the wreck was found, nor was the missing boat seen. Turning east the Unalga proceeded to Unal- aska. examining the various islands en route closely, but without success, and from Unalaska came directly to Valdez to turn over the registration cards to Clerk of the Court Lang. It has been reported here that the Unalga had picked up the missing boat and it was expected that the sailors would be prot here on that vessel, but the Japs were not aboard and the officers stated that to the best of their knowledge the missing boat had never been found. It was not un- til the day after arrival here that they received word that the missing boat. containing the captain of the Koto- hira Maru and the remainder of the crew had been picked up near Dixon Entrance. nearly seven hundred miles southeast of the scene of the wreck. The Unalga remained here about thirty-six hours, taking on coal and water, and sailed for Seattle early Thursday morning.

TELEPHONES NOW A NECESSITY.

The fact that there are about 100 telephone
calls a year for each man, woman, child and baby
in the United States shows how much the instru-
ments serve the public. 1t is being introduced
now on the farms in large numbers, and the COM
munities which ten years ago were dead to the
world, are now alive to every happening and in
call of everybody and anything that might be
needed.
We remember when the telephone was much
of a novelty. A few people in each community
had them and their neighbors borrowed the use
whenever an emergency occurred. Nowadays, ev-
erybody has one, or wants one, and a lot of people
have two and three. They use them for business,
for conservation and even for counting. They are
a part of the life of every person, and we wonder
how we ever managed to exist before the delicate
toned instrument came to our aid.
