Final Call for Soldiers

The final fifteen per cent of the first contingent of men drafted for the national army will be called to the training camps sometime in November.
 This information. which is ex- treme interest to many people in Arizona, as well as all ever the country, d concerning which there have been scores of inquiries during the past few weeks, was received Monday by Colonel Fred $. Breen at the state house in telegram from Provost Marshal G e n e r Crowder at Washington.
 Although no definite date for the call for these last men of the first contingent was set in the telegram received Monday, ne vertheless the information that such a call would be issued was reasonably accurate and probab- ly will be followed in few days by the official order calling the final fifteen per cent to the colors.
 The delay in the issuing of the call for the last of this contin- gent was explained in the tele- gram to Colonel Breen by reason of the unpreparedness of some of the cantonments to care for the men. However, the camps now are ready and the call may be expected in a short time.

Base Govt Control
To Empower President to Cut
OF Brewery Grain Supply.

accurately the amount Of reserve food

intention to compile an accurate esu-
mate of the probable production and

depend largely whether the president

ers given him such as the one to cut
off entirely or diminish the supply Of
grain TO brewers and distillers-

solution of the food problem has been
completed and awaits only action by

to increase production. the second TO
conserve the food supply and prevent
