DRAFTING OF YOUTHS
 OF 19 AND 20 URGED

Washington, Sept. 26.-The Army League, claiming to be backed by the War Department general staff, today advocated immediate amendment of the selective draft law to include youths of 19 and 20.
 Among the officers of this organiza- tion are Joseph Letter, president; ex- President Taft, honorary vice presi- dent; Perry Belmont, pr. William T.. Hornaday, Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, vice presidents, and Clark Howell, George w. C. Drexel, Thomas Nelson Page, Col. George Truesdell and Gen. John A. Johnston, members of the executive council.
 The league says the general staff thinks these boys are needed and should be conscripted and put in train ing at once to insure triumphal clos ing of the European war. Asserting that youths of this age have played vitally important in pre- vious wars, the league quotes Lieut.. s. NJ. B. Young's statement, gleaned from the records of the war depart ment as to ages of soldiers in the Civil War These are:
 Boys ten years of age and under, I25; eleven or under, 3S; twelve, 225; thirteen, 300; fourteen, 1,52S; fifteen, I1O4,9S7: sixteen, 231, 1,051; seventeen, lS44,O91; eighteen, 1,151,43S; twenty one. 2,159,79S; twenty-two and over, 46,626.
 "To keep down the expenses of con ducting the war;" said the leagues statement, "the government should avoid as far as possible the calling of men with dependents. Even at greater cost it is doubtful whether as many men can be secured between the ages of 21 and 31 as will be available be- tween 19 and 2l.
 "The amendment could be so fram- ed that the men called out under 1t would not be placed in active military service until they have reached the age of 21.
 "The time that has been consumed in putting into effect the existing law should convince anyone who has been watching the progress of our prepara- tions for war that congress should take up this legislation immediately"

 RARELY SUSPENDED
No Trains on Missouri Pacific Between Prescott and Arka- delphia For 24 HOurs-MaiI Arrived This Afternoon.

North bound Missouri Pacific pas senger train number four, due here at 5:38, was wrecked yesterday morning three miles beyond Philadelphia.

 The engineer and firemen both leaped from the engine and sustained serious injuries. The fireman had his arm and collar bone broken and the engineer was scalded by escaping steam. Three of the mail clerks were injured and one of them, R. w. Wheeler of Fort Worth, Texas, was brought here and is now at Greeson Sanitarium.
 The first mail train arriving in Prescott since yesterday morning was number four from the south, at noon.

Liquor Board Meets This After.
noon to Discuss Means OF
Handling Xmas Rush

A matter of importance which Will
be taken up by the liquor license COM
mission at its meeting this afternoon
is. that of handling the Christmas bust
ness in the easiest way without letting
down any of the bars which have been
put up to prevent the illegal sale OF
drinks.
ITO date there have been close. to
10000 liquor permits issued under the
new system and the next few days
will see that number greatly increas'
ed" said william H. Hutton, license
inspector, this morning. The commits
sion this afternoon will meet heads OF
Wholesale houses to agree on some
method of handling the situation. we
do not want to discontinue the use OF
the permits for the few days before
Christmas. 1t is possible that we may
place a man in all of the large whole
sale houses to pass on the permits.
The use of the permits has greatly
helped the office in keeping check
on Where the liquor goes" said Mr..
Hutton, "As a result whatever is
done to help the wholesalers must not
in any way lessen the hold we have
gained over the situation"
Mr.. Hutton also commented this
morning on the good which the fed
eral law preventing soldiers from OBJ
tanning liquor has done.
There have been less arrests for
drunkenness by the police and the
guard houses at the posts contain few
er soldiers on that charge" he said
The soldiers are beginning to see the
light and particularly during the past
few months we have had far less
trouble with them than formerly"
Mr.. Hutton says that several sol
diers have told him that the danger
which they run to obtain liquor is not
worth the trouble and for that reason
many have stopped drinking.
