C 6 A BenedictS To Play Bachelors
 Friday Afternoon

The benedicts and bachelors of the general office of the C. & A. will clash for baseball honors at Warren Park Friday afternoon. The game has heen arranged as an amicable means of settling a Ions standing grHdge between the two factions. To make the game interesting, every married man employed in the C. X A. offices is said to have gone home last night and informed his wife that she must attend the game and cheer for the benedicts.
 Difficulty is being experienced in finding umpires for the game, scores having turned down the jobs for fear that the fair fans might not approve of the decisions and attempt to trounce the um- pires with rolling pine. The com mittee in charge of preparations for the game, however, announced last night that, if necessary, a squad Of police will be called out to protect the bachelors from the wives of their opponents in case the game gets too exciting.

 44o,ooo in Guard Possible
 The effect of this change would be to make it possible for the national guard to have a full strength of 40. 900 enlisted men in the first element of the war time army. The present policy of the war department of draft ing only those units now existing and such additional units as may be neces sary to fill out divisional units or which have armories and other evi- dences of permanancy would provide 34O.00O men.s
 u. S. Army of 2s7, 900
 The department has decided. See retary Baker told the house military committee during the day. to raise the regular army up to the full strength prescribed by the national defense act, 2S7,00O, immediately on the pas sage of the war organization bill by congress. This means that three ad- ditional increments. totailing approx ! imately 75.OOO men. would be needed New regiments would be formed by dividing existing regiments and fill ing each half up to full war regimen tai strength.
 Previously it had been thought wise to add only the 1918 increment, con serving the capacity of the regular es- tablishment as a training force.

Preparations fer the protection of the industries and citizens of the War ren District are being quietly but rap idly Conducted by city officials, repre- sentatives of the mining companies and the water company and many prominent business men.
 As the result of the organization Tuesday of tie Warren District De fense League, a military census of the district will be taken within the next few days, and every man citizen is requested to fill out the blank that will be sent him and return it to the secretary of the Military Census Com mittee. The following letter, on the back of the census blank, will be mailed out:
 Attention has been called to the fact that the most difficult part of mil itary preparedness is to arrange in advance to have the right men in the right place, very little being accomp- lished towards readiness for serious war until those in authority know for just what position each man is best fitted. It is essential that the infor- nation be in such form and in such a place that it may be readily availa= ble for the proper authorities, always understanding that trained men of spe- cial experience can often render car rying musket or stopping lead
 lt g. No Pledge Asked
 aWith this end in view the Mayor of Bisbee has appointed special com mittee which has prepared the list Of questions on the back of this letter with the aid of military and naval ex- perts, and you are urgently requested to fill it out as full in detail as possi7 5le and mail it at once to the Secre- tary of the Warren District Military Census Committee. Bisbee, Ariz., who will keep it on file for the use of the naval and military authorities of the United States and especially the state of Arizona for home protection.
 "Please understand that in filling out this blank form you are not pledg- ing yourself to any future action but you are simply giving useful informa- ton to the government and home au- thorities for use later on if you elect to accept service. It is believed that this is the most effective manner in which you can bring your special quail ifications to the attention of the au- thorities."

Four Warren District Girls
 Seek to Enlist As Red Cross Nurses With Uncle Srm s Forces
Noval Recruiting Station Here Is Kept Busy Handling Ap- plications of Loyal Young Men and Women.

Four young women residents, of the Warren District, have applied to Chief Quartermaster C. F. Weber, in charge of the local naval recruiting station, for appointments as Red Cross nurses and have offered to give their entire time to the nation whever called. The patriotic young women are Villa Rob inson, and Bessie Davis. of this city, and Gladye James and Bertha Ritdy of Lowell Each has left her name and address with Quartermaster Weber with the request that he communicate with the proper authorities at once for information as to what they shall do to immediately become enrolled as nurses.
 Tt is inspiring to find that both the men and the women of the Warren District are responding so nobly to the call of Uncle Sam," said Quartermas- ter Weber last night. Never before have l seen such a willingness shown on the part of the residents of any community to serve their country. The number of young men who are apply ing for service with the navy is re- markable. If the entire nation re- sponded for service as the residents of the Warren District there would be no trouble at all in securing the thou sands of men needed to man Uncle Sam's fighting ships
 Recruiting Office Busy
 For the last two weeks the recruit ing office has been one of the busiest places in the city. Since last Friday twenty-five young men have been sent to the recruiting office at Fl Paso for examination, preliminary to beng sent to the Coast training school. Ten men applied for enlistment Monday. the day following the big patriotic parade. Seven more were enlisted on Tuesday About 15 have filled out their application papers and will prob ably leave within a few days The percentage of rejections in Bisbee is as low as any station in the country, according to the recruiting officer. Dur ing the week ending March, 22,355 ap- piled for enlistment at the New York station but only 54 were accepted. In Bisbee, insignificant in size when com pared with New York, enfistments are being made at the rate of 25 or more each week.

SUPERVISORS WILL
 MAKE INSPECTION TOUR OVER COUNTY
Present Board Responsible For Many Improvements on Roads; System of High way Work In Cochise Best In The State.
Special to Review)

TOMBSTONE. April 1.-The mem bers of the board of supervisors. Vance M. Johnson. chairman, J. M. Sparks of Douglas and John Rock. of Tombstone, accompanied by County Engineer J. c. Ryan of Bisbee, will leave here next Monday for a tour of inspection of the roads of the county. The board at the present time has number of forces at work on different roads in the county and the work be ing done is of the permanent charac- ter and not of the class that was done before in the county. The board has the record of being the only one in the state that has made a success of running a county road camp and mak ing a success of it. The cost of maintaining the present road camp between here and Bisbee was at a minimum cost and the work accom- 7lished was as good as was maintain ad by the state while they were oper- ating it. The county stood the eX- Uense of the. camp up until the first of the year on this road but at the present time the state is bearing the expense and the county is furnishing the prisoners.

Record is Good

A small force is at work on the road -between Douglas and Rodeo cut ting down some of the grades and fix ing the curves in the road. Agother force is working in the Sulphur Spring Valley. one working on the road between Wilcox and Dos Cabe- gas. another on the cutoff between Tombstone and Dragoon. another be- tween Tombstone and the county ,line and another working between Bisbee and Osborne.
 Last year the board spent the sum of s102.757.57 on the roads of the county between December lst, 1915. and December 1st. 1916. In another column of this issue will be found a tabulated statement of the amount of money that was spent on each road in the county as well as on the bridS- es. The report also shows the

Excellent Results

There has never been less than twenty five men at work in the camp and the present average is over forty. The work accomplished can he seen by those who have been over the road lately. At the present time the force is at work surfacing the grading that has already been done. using the old Bisbee extension dump for the base. Not all the force is engaged in this wolk. a part being used in erecting the bridges that will be used on the road between the present camp and the Government Draw. The road has been surfaced from the top of the grade leading ih.o Tombstone canyon to the camp and it will be ready for use within the next few days
 A force Of engineers from the coun- ty engineers office is being used in making a preliminary survey of the cost of paving the road between Bis bee and Douglas so that when the question Of paving comes up with the bond issue the estimated cost will be had Tbe work is being done under state expense but will become a coun- ty charge if the bond issue carries.
