THOUSANDS ARE SEEKING WAY
TO AVOID THE DRAFT.

Washington is simply jammed with
persons who have come here TO exert
real or fancied influence in the way
Of shifting army service from friends
or relatives Members Of Congress
are buried under pleas from constl-
tuents who want TO save husbands,
sons OF brothers from service.
No member OF Congress, so far as
appears In the official records. has
exerted himself openly in trying to
save an ablebodled citizen from SER
vice behind a gun. but there has been
great deal OF sklrmlshing work done
under cover.
In so far as the War Depart
n1ent or the Army is concerned,
there is no pressure Of influences
that could make a scratch in the
direction Of weakening the Sc
leetivs draft army law.
President Wilson has set himself In
the path OF raising an army by n plan
he believes TO be the most Just and
equitable that could be devised. and II
would not conduce TO the health Of a
person looking for sympathy to ap-
proach him in behalf OF a male subject
20 service.
Nevertheless, Washington Is full OF
people who are working 20 bring
about avoidance OF military service
personally or In behalf OF others, and
they are springing the most audacious
aud cunningly contr!ved schemes. For
instance, a very wealthy man residing
in a big Eastern city came here a
few days ago with an offer 10 the
Federal Conservation Commission OF
his services gratis.

 The average per capita wealth of each citizen of Arizona is $2,455 The average savings per capita is s24.19 and the life insurance per capita is only S166.75. double that carried by citizens of the sister state on the east New Mexico. but scarcely more than half that carried in California. and while the per capita wealth of Arizonians is approxima tely that of New York, citi- zenS of the empire state carry double the amount carried in Arizona.
 Wages in New York are much small Ter than in the southwest and returns on investments there bring a much lower rate of interest than in this sec ton.
 The total amount of new insurance written in Arizona during 1916 was S79,310, of which $3,9T9,S42 was fur nished by eastern companies and S4,- S99,46S by western companies The premium income from policy holders in Arizona during the year just closed totaled Sl,32I .204.S5, of which $701,- 3SS.49 was sent to New York companies and S625, ,S66.S6 was paid to companies located in the western part of the country.

 These men have placed their order early SD that there will be no question about the possession of it by the time bean harvest starts in the Salt River valley. The west end of the valley is becoming famed as big producer of fine quality pink beans. A big acreage was successfully grown at big profit last year This year there will be several thousand acres Of pink beans @rown in the valley and particularly so Tn the sander soils near Peoria and west of Glendale.
 Ground is now being prepared. large acreage will soon he growing. and the new threshing machine owners at Peoria will doubtless have a very busy season taking care of the bean crops. The raising of pink beans in Salt River valley has passed the ex- perlmental stage and during the past few years pink beans have been pro- duced that have been superior in olllI- | uy to the pink beans raised in other states and selling for more per pound.

Must Evacuate Salient.

COPENHAGEN. October 29.-Maj. Mo-
raht, military correspondent of the Berlin
Deutaches Tages Zeitung, IN an article in
that newspaper expresses the belief that
the Germans soon will be compelled to
evacuate the narrow Dixmude salient be-
tween Dixmude and the Passchendaele
ridge, including the fortified Houtholst
wood, against which the British and
French armies now are hammering.
Mai. Moraht. who often Is in possess
sion of correct information on German
plans, says the British offensive
through months of nibbling has bitten
it's way so deep (three and three-quar-
ters miles) into German front anchored
on D.xmude and Warneton, that the
salient is untenable and that the Ger
mans will have to retire to a new for
titled line across the base OF the salient.
The writer comforts his readers with
the assurance that this action will
bring the British no nearer their OBJ
jective. namely. the capture of Ostend.
and says the British and French Often
sive in Flanders. therefore, will be a
catastrophal failure.
