DRAFTED FILL IN
WILL BE USED TO FILL RANKS
OF GUARD COMPANIES.
IL Is Probable That Every Company
Will Have $50 Men as Large
Companies Are Better.

Drafted men will not have to wait
until the completion of the canton
ments before being called into federal
serice. Just as soon as the national
guards mobilize at their training
camps, men from the national army
will be ordered to report at the camps
to fill in the ranks of the guard com
nanies, according to an unofficial an
Eouncement made at the adjutant
| generals office last night
! And there are going to be plenty
of vacancies if the announcement
which is based on authoritative ad-
vices from Washington, is carried out.
English and French troops in France
have 250 men to a company, and 1t is
almost certainty that the Ameri-
can troops will be similarly organized.
The larger companies, it is said, are
of more advantage than the smaller
units, because a larger number of
men can be thrown forward in a
charge under a single commander
Four lieutenants are allowed to each
company under the French-English |
plan.
The earliest assignment of drafted |
men will not be before the middle of
August, it is expected. 1t will be near
ly that long before the machinery of
the local exemption boards selects
the men who are to serve, and the
guards will not be in their training
camps before that time.

at their respective company rendez-
vous at 9 o'clock Sunday morning for

PARTISAN MISREPRESENTATION

It is surprising with what patient endurance the Republicans of the country observe the persistent efforts of the Democratic press to convey the impression that Republicans are pro-German and are hampering the administration. As a matter of fact, Republican states were most prompt in supplying men for the army and navy, in subscribing for liberty bonds and in making Red Cross contribu- tions. The chief obstruction to war measures in Congress has come from Democrats. The only place in the country where partisanship is ob- served is in the White House, where deserving Democrats" still have al- most exclusive recognition. Republi- cans should let the real facts be known.

QUICK TOUCH IS MADE
 BY TEX WILLIAMS

Sheriff Joe Young was notified last night of bit of petty finance which was pulled off during the week in this city by man who gave his name as "Tex" Williams, and who claimed to be the representative of the Topic Mining Company of Mexico.
 Williams came to town the latter part of last week and advertised the fact that he was seeking miners for work in the Mexican property. He offered big wages and large number of miners called on the man at his hotel. He is alleged to have borrow ed small sums from some of the men who interviewed him, and then told them to call on him again at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 Promptly at the appointed hour a large number of men gathered at the hotel seeking MT. Williams, only to

THE GOVERNMENT AND
 PAID ADVERTISING

The question of whether the Unit ed States government should engage in a policy of paying for advertise ments in the newspapers has been much agitated of late, especially in regard to the selling of Liberty Loan Bonds. This being strictly money matter the question comes up more squarely in connection with it than with registration, food conservation or other governmental matters giv- en publicity.
 Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury has issued a statement dealing with this matter. After referring to the great amount of advertising patriot ically given to the Liberty Loan bonds in the first campaign by newspapers and other advertising agencies, and by banks and other concern and by in dividuals, the Secretary contradicts the impression that the Government in the first Liberty Loan campaign asked for free advertising or paid for any advertising in the newspapers. The great success of the loan he at- tributes in a very great degree to the voluntary and patriotic work and ad- vertising space periodically given free to the Government.
 While acknowledging the tremen- dous value of advertising the Secre- tary points out that the relation of the Government to the press and to the public generally is such that the question of paid advertising by it pre- sents problem very much more con- plex than it would be to a private en- terprise. The Government cannot use the same thorough discrimination as to the mediums it should use, but would be obliged to be thoroughly democratic and impartial and the cost of such an undertaking would be ve- ry great and would exceed the appro- priation available under the existing law. The Secretary, however, states that the matter is being very carefully considered, but a decision cannot be arrived at until better knowledge is had as to the cost of the campaign and until the appropriation available for the purpose has been settled by Congress.

learn from the hotel proprietor that the gentleman in question had taken his departure on the northbound pas senger train which left this city at Il o'clock the evening before.
 Some of the men who had loaned Williams money attempted to have criminal charges preferred against the man in hopes of being able to bring him back to this city, but the officers advised them that Williams could not be arrested for merely "bor- rowing" money, and no official action was taken in regard to the case. It is believed that Williams has gone to the vicinity of Flagstaff, where he will attempt to repeat his little bunco game.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

A SUSPICIOUS IMMIGRATION.

Of the thousand and more Rus sians and Russian Jews who returned to Petrograd from the United States on the success of the revolution, Ar no Desch- Fleurot, in his cable to the World, names only one who has stood with the Provisional Government in prosecuting the war. This is Nich- olas Nockarickoff, an editor of Novy Mir, or New World, of New York. He has been risking his life at the hands of the Bolsheviki in stimulating the soldiers to fight.
 The rest of the crowd who had been harbored in America have join ed the same Bolshevili, who are now nothing more than all-round mischief makers, Anarchists and pacifists in the pay of Germany. They are against any government in Russia which promises stability and opposi- tion to a Teuton peace, and they openly boast, while traducing every thing else American, of their train ing in the New York strike field for position of leadership in raising the devil against the Kerensky govern ment.
 How did this motley crew happen to get from New York to Petrograd so all at once and so soon after the outbreak of the revolution? Where did they obtain the money for so ex- pensive a journey? Was it furnish ed by themselves or by friends of the revolution here when it has been used by them all the time to bedev!l the revolution and turn it to Germa- ny's account?
 It would be we'll if the Washington Government were to look more close ly into the immigration of possibl gentry of this sort. So-called Social ists seeking a safe-conduct to Stock, holm are not the only workers for a German peace trying to broaden their activities from the United States. We have already unwilling, ly let loose upon Russia almost as much harm for the Kerensky Gov, ernment as of help we have tried tc extend.

CAPABLE OFFICER IN EUROPE

The suggestion that an American naval mission should be sent to En- gland to study the British plan of sea campaign is put forward in forget fulness of the fact that Admiral Sims, one of the keenest of our naval off, cers, is already in British waters with an American mosquito fleet, where he has unexampled opportunities fof seeing what the British ships are do- ing, of hearing from British officers of the Admiralty's plans, and of mak- ing those deductions for which acute minded Americans are famous. No doubt it would be a pleasing jaunt for admirals of the Dr. Cary Grayson type to go abroad to study British naval tactics-but would it be worth the money?

ABANDONING A PRINCIPAL.

The President has directed the h. ternational Paper Go. to furnish news print for the daily Official Bulletin at two and a half cents a pound. The Official Bulletin is not the most im- portant journal in the land, though its editor, George Greet, may think so; nor is it's circulation, paid or pad ded, the largest. But it evidently has access to Presidential authority. In his finely-phrased letter to the American people on the subject of price-fixing, MT. Wilson set up the theory that the price to the govern ment and the price to individuals must be the same. The case of the Official Bulletin sets standard for all newspapers in the country, ac' cording to this; and it will be inter- esting to note the sequel.

ENChOAShlNG ON

That the new systems of taxation being resorted to by the Government are beginning to encroach heavily on the sources heretofore relied upon by the States to produce their revenue is the opinion of Senator William P. Dillingham;, of Vermont. Especially is this true in regard to the inheri- tance field of taxation. Mir. Dilling- ham believes it was the understand ing among the people of Vermont, and with the legislature when the income tax amendment to the Constitution was adopted by that State, that in- heritance taxes would not be levied by the Federal Government except in cases of emergency. Resolution adopt ed by the Vermont legislature as long ago as last March, before the huge taxes now in contemplation were even thought of, have been pre-, sented to the Senate by MT.

I read of Doan's Kid ney Pills and got some. They rid me of the trouble and made me feel fine. Now I feel fine and seldom have any trouble with my kidneys" Statement given May 1, 1913.)
 STILL USES DOAN'S.
 On February 26, 1917, MT. Lewis said: T still use Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally and although I am eigh- weight years old I feel fine. Doan's Kidney Pills keep my kidneys strong and active. There are few men of my age with kidneys as healthy as mine.
