ARIZONA BOYS ID bE IN FRANCE
 BY SPRING
EXAMINATIONS WILL BE RENEWED NEXT MONTH AND SECOND DRAFT IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL SOMETIME IN 1918.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

From the best advices now obtain able the Arizona troops now at Camp
 Funston will be given l6 weeks course in military training in this country. The men composing the 34Oth field artillery will probably be transferred to artillery ranges within two or three months and all the troops after a 16 weeks course of training will probably be sent to mili- tary training camps in the East to re- place those now there who will by that time be training behind the lines in France
 One delay follows another in con- centrating the drafted men at the To National army cantonments. While it was announced originally that the cantonments were to be ready the lst of September and while all of the 6S7,- 900 men were expected to be in camp by the first of this month at the lat est, not one of the l6 military cities has been actually completed as yet and there IS little hope that all the men will be assembled by the first of November
 General Crowder is still waiting for orders as 10 the physical examin- ation of the 6,0Q0,00O odd men liable to the draft whose names were not reached while the examinations were being conducted to secure the men for the first National army. Plans are being outlined and will be placed be- fore President Wilson as soon as they are completcdA The general has been informed that the physical examina- ton of the 6,000,00 or more men will be ordered shortly, but the date has not been set. His office is inclined to believe that the examinations will
 start about the middle of November. The boards will proceed until all of the uen have been examined. It IS realized that the men liable to service
 should not be kept on the fence much longer. and, too, that the administra~ ton may know how many men it can rely on to make up the second and third National armies Probably more than 100000 of the 10,0O0,O0O conscripts will be accepted. Figures on the first National army are not
 ready for publication as yet, but it is believed that approximately one in every four or five men examined was
 accepted. Some of the boards took
 practically every other man, while
 others passed only one man in ten.
 The figures, as soon as they arc all in,
 will be turned over to the census bureau to be compiled.

SUFFER LOSES SUIT
 OVER MINING CLAIMS
(From Fridays Daily.D

A verdict in favor of the defendants was rendered yesterday evening by the jury which had been sitting in the case of Sutter vs. McMahon and Lar son. in the Superior court for the past four days. The action was the result of a dispute between the respective parties regarding the ownership of a group of claims in the Verde district. The jury was out little over an hour.
 = Suttcr claimed that he had located the group of eight claims several years ago, and that the defendants about the first of this year came m on the property and located it in spite of the fact that it was the property oi the plaintiff. The defendants con tended that the assessment work had not been performed by Sutter and that they had right to locate tho ground owing to the fact that Sutter title had been allowed to run out.

CAMPAIGN IS NOW WELL
 UNDER WAY
COMMITTEE IN CHARGE OF ACTIVITIES IN THE NORTHERN COUNTIES IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED BY RESULTS so FAR.
(From Saturdays Daily)


 The big drive for the S,000,0OO which is Arizona's allotment of the Second Liberty Loan of S3,000,0OOOOO is we'll under way in the north. Since his appointment, Chairman H. D. Aitken has left no stone unturned in urging upon the citizens of Yavapai county and the northern counties that it is their duty to subscribe to this loan.
 From Yavapai county recently have gone hundreds of her young men, who may be called upon to give their lives in the furtherance of the great war in which We are now engaged and one of the small parts left to be done by those behind is the purchasing oi Liberty Bonds. These are made with in the reach of all-in denominations of $50, $lOO, $500, Sl,O0O, S5,OO0 and Sl0,000. The question has often been asked: "Why does the government sell bonds:" Men, munitions and money, these are the sinews of war. At the present moment the greatest need of the United States government is money. It must have money to render the best possible help to itself and its Allies. The government can get that money in two ways, by bor- rowing and taxing. At present both methods arc being used. Borrowing is the more direct way. Borrowing by the means of the Liberty Bond is a method of securing immediate funds for the prosecution of the war and spreading the burden of repayment over a periof of 25 years. Taxation does not bring in funds so readily but it does help to pay off immediately a large part of the current expenses Of the government. To put the burden of our share in this struggle for de- mocracy as far as possible on the present generation, rather than shift it 10 our children, is the governments avowed intention. Hence, the Lib erty Bonds are issued with matur- ity of 2 years, and a large part of the current expenses will be taken care of by taxation. Subscribing to Liberty Bond is sound business. It is an investment which has for its surety the riches of the United States. Aside from this and the greatest thing of all is that it is our patriotic duty to do that which is now within our power and which counts for most at present. Not every one can hghtr but it is within the power of practlc- ally every one in Yavapai county, owing to the splendid business pros perity which has been paramount in this county for many months, to do their bit and subscribe without delay.

U.V. SUBSCRIBES HALF
 MILLION TO BIG LOAN
(From Fridays Dailvl

Attorney LcRoy Anderson yester- day announced that the United Verde Copper Company of Jerome had sub ,cribcd for S5OO,0OO worth of the Liberty Bonds of the second issue, Inc purchases to be made through the banks of this county. Senator w. A. Clark. who is now in the Verde dis -rict. desired that the company make the loan to the government, and that he purchases be credited to the ap- portionment which has been allotted to Arizona.
 As the State had been expected to subscribe for 7,OOO,OOO worth of the bonds. it will be seen that the U- V. subscription will aid materially in helping to account for the States ap- portionment.

 With the exception of the two last named, the men were all supposed to have left the county with contingcnts which departed some time ago, but Tn most cases, none of the young men had received their official notices m time to ioin the regular parties. Tal- bolt and Campbell were sent away on transfers which had been issued by other boards, the former being from | Fl Paso and the latter from Durango, Colo. Ralph Richards was selected by the board to serve as captain of the party during the trip. and upon him will rest the responsibility of de- livering all of his charges safely at Camp Funston.
 Juan R. Flores, young Mexican living at Clarkdale, was also to have gone with the bunch which departed vesterday. but did not show mp at the specified hour-l0 o'clock yesterday morning. When the board learned that the young man had chosen to disregard its order, Officer Carlson of Jerome was notified to arrest the of- fender. Flores was arrested about noon and is now confined in the lock up at Clarkdale. He is now. accord ing to the statement of the local board. d full-fedged deSertcr, and IS soon to be delivered to the military authorities at Douglas for trial by court-martial.
 Flores was among the hrSt men called by the board at the beginning of the draft Owing to the fact thaI he was a Mexican citizen, Inc was eN- cmpt from military service, providing that he would appear before the board and make his claims for exemption. This he did not choose to do, and

REWARD CAUSES AP-
 PREHENSION OF SLACKERS

PHOENIX, Oct. 1.-The slackerS are coming out of the brush,' ac- cording to Colonel Breen, who has heard from several of the sheriffs of the State who notify the State official that they have rounded up numerous delinquent men of military age, some of whom have neglected to register, and some who, having registered, have failed to report for examination.
 The $50 reward offered by the gov ernment for the delivery of any slack CT to the nearest mobilization camp also has had an effect. In addition to the many officials who are on the lookout for the wanted ones, there are many civilians who are attracted by the reward and arc giving infor- nation to the officials concerning the whereabouts of many delinquent ones.
 Those who haven't been paying much attention to the draft are begin ming to look up," declared Colonel Breen after having received a wire from the sheriff of Pinal county stat ing that he had picked up lot of alleged delinquent ones and was hold ing them subject to the orders oi Colonel Breen. That official wired the Pinal county sheriff to turn his pris- oners over to the United States mar shal
 With his eyes "widc open" with ap- prehension, a young man from Pima county presented himself in the office of Colonel Breen and stated that he wanted to enlist, and he didn't seem to care in what branch of the service it was: he just wanted to get into Uncle Sam's service right away.
 After questioning, the young man stated that he had received no notice of having been drafted, but his ap- pcarance and his unsatisfactory an swers convinced Colonel Breen that all was not right, and that the young man was considerably worried about the $50 reward hanging over the head of slackers.
 Communication with the sheriff ot Pinal county brought the information tha. the particular young man disap- peared instead of answering to his summons. When confronted with the evidence, he admitted his guilt. The official. however, took the best course and sent the young man on to the mobilization camp, a trip that he was very glad to make. He is now m Camp Funston.
 So far as the reports received at Colonel Brecn's office show, the third contingent went to Camp Funston in good shape and with no men short By grape vine" telegraph comes the information that the fourth and last contingent of Is per cent from Ari- zona, will leave for Camp Funston on October 17th or whereabouts. This IS not official, however.

HOW TO MAIL GIFTS
 TO MEN IN FRANCE

The postoffice department author izes the following:
 It is essential that Christmas pack ages for American soldiers in France be mailed not later than November 18th in order to insure their delivery on Christmas morning.
 Arrangements have been made for prompt delivery to the soldiers on Christmas morning.
 In furthcrance of this, Postmaster General Burleson, jointly with the secretary of war and the secretary of the navy, have issued the following notice to the public:
 Christmas Mail for American
 Forces Abroad.
 To the Public:
 The time is approaching to give thought to bringing Christmas cheer to the American soldiers and sailors abroad.
 Arrangements have been perfected whereby the. Christmas mail to the American expeditionary forces in Eu- rope is to be delivered by Christmas morning. Without the fullest coop eration on the part of the public 1t will be impossible to accomplish this result.
 The three essential respects in which the public can aid in assuring happy Christmas at the front are mail early, address intelligently, and pack secure ly. For this reason 1t IS urgently re- quested that all persons having Christ mas mail for the soldiers and sailors and the civilian units attached to the army in Europe observe closely the following directions:
 Directions For Mailing.
 1. Mails to reach the soldiers in France by Christmas morning must be posted not later than November lo.
 ?. Every paskage must bear con spicuously the words "Christmas mail" the complete address of the person for whom it is intended, and in the upper left-hand corner the name and address of the sender.
 5. Every parcel must be so packed and wrapped as to admit of easy in- spcction by the postmaster. No per eel will be dispatched to France which has not the postmaster's certificate that it contains no prohibited articles.
 (Signed) A. s. BURLESON.
 Postmaster General.
 (Signed) NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War. (Signed) JOSEPHUS DANIELS, Secretary of Navy. The time of sailing of transports and regular liners, the examination of parcels on this side so as to obvi- ate their having to be examined by cersors, and the uncertainty ot land transportation on the other side has to be allowed for. It is essential also that the packages should contain nothing that is unmailablc under the parcel-post regulations of thIs coun- try: and that the parcels shall be se- curely wrapped, but may be readily opened by the postmaster to deter mine the character of their contents
 Measures have been taken to have packages received in France. which 1 are marked for Christmas delivery, delivered on Christmas morning. Parcels so marked will be held at convenient stations for delivery on that day. This will insure real Christmas to our boys in France ii parcels are mailed here promptly, and prevent the Christmas character oi the parcels being destroyed by too early delivery.
 The rate of postage on parcels to members of the American expedition ary forces in France is l2 cents per pound from any place within the i United States.
