Governor Brumbaugh has Joined Mayor
Smith in the latter's attempt to cut 2ooo
Philadelphians from the draft list.
That this number represents the number
in excess of what the city's real quota
should be was brought to the surface to-
day.
Coupled with this. the Mayor, through
CONGRESSMAN Peter E. Costello. has carried
the Issue to Washington and is hopeful that
General Enoch e. Crowder. provost marsnai
general, in charge of the draft, will set the
Federal machinery on operation with the
view of preventing Philadelphia from send
ing more than its share of conscripts into
the first national army.
The causes which led Mayor Smith and
Governor Brumbaugh to take this action
are the haste Of the War Department 10
perfect the draft machinery and to the
wholesale errors among the city's hfty-one
exemption boards. ~
This work has prevented the adJutant
generals office from sending out the district
quotas for the State.
Although this work is important, the big
ger issue concerns the elimination OF ap-
proximately 1000 men from Philadelphia's
draft list. How this number was lacked
10 the city's total by the War Department
was explained today by E. j. Cattell. City
stat, ,stician. who is gathering information
from draft boards to substantiate the May
or's claims
"Our quota" said Mr. Cattell rs too
high and this Is due to the methods en-
ployed by the War Department In ascer-
tanning the citys population. Our popuia-
tion estimates were based upon the regis
tration for the National Army and an IN
ouiry into the reports submitted by many
draft boards discloses that aliens were
counted twice This error sweiieo our
registration from 10000 to approximately
1el 900. and using the latter ngure as a
basis the War Department estimated the
city's population. Then the city's quota was
bs sed upon that fictitious or innated popu-
lation. which gives us quota that is un.aar
to the city II means that ABOUT Zooo
Young men, In addition to what .ne . va

must be contributed to the service

You fellows who have heretofore been in the habit of expressing your opinion relative to the war without any degree of restraint and of indulg- ing in adverse criticism of the govern ment and it's policies without stint, had better look litle out and bear in mind that our government is now at war and that the time for recklessly shooting off your month" is past, re gardless of your opinion in the matter.

tion of Schloss was entirely unexpected, since it was gen. orally supposed that he en- tertained bitter feelings, and that his lot was so pleasant in the service of the Mexican government that he would never cross the line again.
 It is said the Mexican off cers and friends of Schloss were greatly surprised. They regret, it is said, the depar- ture of the man whom they trusted, and for whom they had the kindliest feelings. He has been helpful in imparting a knowledge of English and higher mathematics, as we'll as in acting as interpreter.
 Before leaving last night, MT. Schloss paid a tribute to Col. Esteban Cantu and Lieu tenant Colonel Barranca. He attributes to them qualities of head and heart found only in the finest men of any race or people, aside from their mili- tary accomplishments.-Cal- exico Chronicle.

 Now it is possible that this man never even dreamed of committing reasonable offense, thinking he was acting within his rights with freedom of speech as becoming an individual of this country, but it will be up to him to prove his innocence, and if he can't it may be long term in fed eral prison for him.
 Freedom of speech was all right few weeks ago but it don't go now" This country is now at war, and the sooner some of these loquacious guys wake up and find that out, the better it may be for them.

REMARKABLE RECORD OF YUMA BOY TO ENTER
 THE NAVAL ACADEMY

For the purpose of satisfying his laudable ambition in the way of an education and training in the Anna polls Naval Academy, Theodore O. Molloy, has to his credit record that undoubtedly will stand equivalent, if not superior to any Annapolis stu dent in the entire country. Young Molloy is but sixteen years and four months old, yet by his own initiative and without help, he has successfully passed the required examination and will leave for the government school on June 6, having received an alter nateship from Congressman Carl Hay den.
 Asked as to the appointment for one so young, his father said yesterday that it was entirely without even his knowledge his son set out and won the distinction. Some time ago, how ever, he asked his father a few ques- tions relative to the movement, but did not make his purpose definite enough to cause serious thought on the part of the parents. He wrote Congressman Hayden, applying for the position, secured all the informa- tion necessary and was ready to take the examination before his father was seriously apprised of the situation. Although an extraordinary bright pu- pil in the Yuma High School, young Molloy had never taken up geometry, one of the necessary studies for the naval examination, but when he as certained this was necessary he delv- ed into the subject with might and main, and with but twenty special lessons fitted himself sufficiently to pass the required percentage, with the result that his father was all at once very agreeably surprised at the wonderful success attained by one so young in years, and set about to help him consumate the other things nee essary. After leaving Yuma young Molloy will spend a few weeks with R. L. Long in Washington, D. C., an old time Phoenix friend of the family, and then take up his duties in the academy It means that he will have graduated from this wonderful insti- tuition when he is A years old, right in the prime and vigor of young man. hood.
 Theodore Molloy was born in Yuma and has lived here all his life. He seems to have acquired the studious traits of character possessed by his father making rapid and successful strides along all the lines of his edu- cation ambition, with good help at home. His many Yuma friends, old and young, will watch his future ca reer with much pleasurable anticipa- tion.-Yuma Sun.
