DRAFT THREATENS EXISTENCE
OF TOWN, COMMERCIAL CLUB
PROTESTS

Salt Lake City, Utah, August 2
It's existence as a municipality threat
ened, Bingham, through its CONNER
cial club, is appealing to the United
States government for relief from
what its citizens believe a discrtm-
mating militarydraft.
Bingham wints either assurance
that aliens are to be conscripted by
the United States or by their own
governments, or else a change In the
first draft regulations to adjustment
according to citizen population, I'm
less this is done, q. b. Kelly, presi-
dent of the Bingham Commercial
Club, in telegram sent to the Unit
ed States Senate In auueal to Salt
Lake, declares that few Americans
will be left In that city.
Figures Mr.. Kelly has at hand show
that So per cent Of the Bingham reg.
istrants are aliens. In the Highland
Bay section the percentage runs as
high as 81 per cent.
Unless the aliens are drafted, he
declares, it means that almost every
male resident of Bingham of military
age will be conscripted under the
regulations for raising the frs
quota.

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY

Germany efficiency has been held
up as degree of excellence unat-
tainable by Democracy. The accom-
plishments of the United States since
April 9Th last refute the truth of the
claim. In the short space of time
that day the United States has &C.
complished the following:
Declared state of war as existing
between this country and Germany;
Seized 81 German ships and begun
repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously war fund
of $1,000, 900, 900;
Appropriated $500, 100000 for mer-
chant shipping and as much for a.
fleets;
Agreed to loan our Allies $3,OO0,-
100000 and advanced them large
proportion Of that sum;
Passed selective draft law and in
a single day registered nearly ten
million men for military service:
Enlisted 100000 volunteer soldiers
in the Regular Army and in the Ma
tional Guard of the States;
Sent a Commission to Russia to aid
Democracy there and a body Of rail-
road men to Russia and another to
France to advise and assist in rail-
road transportation in those coun-
tries;
Begun the construction of 80 camps
for our soldiers;
Sent to England feet of destroy
ers and to France detachment OF
troops;
Authorized and now enforcing EN-.
barge whereby our enemies will re-
ceive no more food or material from
us;
Passed food conservation law;
Organized many voluntary commits.
sions and boards who are aiding the
Government and the people in the
speeding up of work, conservation Of
food, and other national movements;
Drafted by lot 1000 men for mill
tary service;
While the Government was accom-
plishing these things the American
people have loaned the United State.
$4,000, 100000 and offered 100000,
900 more, over four million citizens
subscribing to the loan.
In addition they have given ovel
$1OO,O00,000 to the American Ret
Cross and 100000 to the Yount
Mems Christian Association.
All these things were accomplished
while our soil was not invaded OF
