REUTRALS DRAINING THE U. S.
Unless Food Control Measures is
Passed Americas Wheat Supply
Will be Exhausted

Washington, June 20.-The neutral
countries are draining the United
States of it's wheat supplies and un-
less some food control measure is in
stituted by July 1, Americas great
supply of wheat will be exhausted by
spring. With this startling announce
ment the administration today press
ed on it's efforts to force congress to
prompt action on the Lever food con-
troll bill.
] II was pointed out that the smaller
southern grain was already beginning
to move, and that by July /, most of
it would be on its way. "
While the entente allies are await
ing for the establishment of a food
control bureau before they establish
Ia purchasing bureau the neutrals are
pushing in and buying on a gigantic
scale. Unless some action is taken
soon on the food measure the allies
will be forced TO ush in head Of the
Ineutrals and buy
Unless some drastric action is TAX
en- by congress soon on the subject
and ample time given to Herbert
Hoover, Americas new food dictator
he will regard the time he has spent
as useless and at an end.
England Is Anxious.
London, June 2O.-'T hope that
shall not be misconstrued when ! say
that the sooner the food administra,
ton bills are put through the Amer
lean congress and enacted the sooner
we will breathe easier" declared
Lord Rhonda, Englands new food adj
ministrator and controller today. He
was discussing the scarcity of food
in America as we'll as in the foreign
countries.
IF America will awake to the food
situation, | know that Germany's
plans of starving the allies will cause
civilian unrest and are doomed to
failure. Unless we are assured of
sufficient food to enable England and
the allies to carry out the war to a
successful end it is almost superfuous
to appoint a food controller. We de-
pend virtually on the United States
and Canada for our supplies"
Lord Rhoda paid high compliment
to Herbert Hoover political food con-
troller of the United States.
Zone Of the few things he said was
that President Wilson was lucky in
getting such a valuable man as Hoov-
er with his character who understands
the situation of the allies to undertake
the great task"

million U.S.. MEN
TO GO To FRANCE
NEW YORK AND ILLINOIS TROOPS
TO REINFORCE PERsHINe.
NEW DRAFT IN A FEW MONTHS
Another Force Of 625,ooo Men Will Be
Called Not Later Than November
President to Issue Proclama-
ton in Few Days.

Washington, June 20-America's
plans for participating in the war I'M
folded rapidly during the day. These
things became known:
1. There will be second draft with
in few months after the first 625, 900
conscripts go into training.
2. Pershing's division will be re-en-
forced Immediately by another large
force of picked troops and by Septem-
Der l divisions of National Guardsmen
will be moving overseas.
3 The New York National Guard
VIII be the first. They will be fol-
lowed by the Illinois militia.
Indications are that the second draft
VIII be made not later than November
and call probably another 625,OOO men.
100000 on Front Next Year.
More may be called, as the general
staff is planning to fill all vacancies
through the draft. It may be 100000
Will be selected, making 1,625,OO0 be-
fore Christmas. IL necessary, men ex-
empted on the first draft will be called.
Army officials are concentrating on
getting transport facilities to move
the great force overseas. BY spring,
according to indications, the United
States will be represented on the Eu-
ropean battlefelds by not less than
100000 men and by summer the num-
Der probably will be 100000.
Men Well Trained
The war department selected the
New York and Illinois guardsInen as
the first militia to go to Europe be-
cause each state has complete d.
vision and the men can be moved as
a unit and because their work on the
border satisfied the army authorities
they have sufficient training. Also.
they can be better spared than regu-
lars needed to train the draft army.
President Wilson is expected within
the next two days to issue a proclama-
ton setting a date for the draft and
establishing the exemption machinery.
Work is being rushed to have the
environments ready for the first mere
ments September l. Intensive train
ing will fit the men to go to Europe
within six months, it is estimated, their
preparation to be completed behind the
front in France.
Will Reject 40 Per Cent.
Army surgeons estimated nearly 40
per cent of the men registered will be
rejected on the first draft, so severe are
the examinations. Nearly 100000
must be drawn to get the 625,OO0 for
the first levy. Reflections in the regu-
lar army now average from 40 to 60
per cent.
The men accepted will form the best
army, physically, in the world. In no
other army are the physical require
ments so hard to meet. sEven Ger
many's armies are picked on less
stringent standard.

WARDEN GIVES
 ADVICE II AL

"l have been studying the game laws Iof Arizona ever since 1 arrived in the state" said State Game Warden Joe Prochaska yesterday Prochaska is chiefly noted for the fact that he placed the town of Miami on the map. and was one of the chief causes of the state going dry.
 There are few people in the state who realize that he has always been supporter of game conservation, and the obliteration of the gamchog.
 q have never yet obtained the limit in any line of sport" he continued. q have hunted a great deal but when the time arrived when l felt I had enough for the needs of my family 1 have al- ways stopped. I have been studying the subject of game conservation fer number of years and have been deep iy interested in the subject.
 eff plans which l am working upon mature as l expect they will, 1 believe l will be able to announce to the people of the state within a short while a plan whereby, a certain portion of the game may be successfully converted into food. 1 am not ready as yet to an- nounce my plans, but will have them shaped in a short while
 Deputy State Game Warden Pettis handed in his star along with his resig- nation yesterday. Warden Prochasla stated yesterday he would name Pettis successor within a day or so, but re- fused to divulge the name of the lucky individual.

Chinese Prohibition

There is drastic prohibition law in China against the use of opium. The law, in operation for several years in progressive way. became absolute April 1, and is expected to regenerate China.
 The history of the opium trade in China is in teresng, and reflects anything but credit the Eng fish people and nation, China had drug prob- lem Wines were used extensively and intoxicant made from rice about strong as brandy was also in common use. In the fourteenth century, in order to rice food and to utilize the ground employed vineyards also for the growing of food stuffs the making of fermented wines and rice dis tilatons prohibited. China's at time one of the greatest civilizations of the world and the anti prohibitioniss fond of dating it's degenera- tion from the time China became bone dry" They also point to similar degeneration in the people of India Turkey, Persia and Arabia of whom ceased to take alcoholic liquors because of the prohibition against strong drinks in the Koran.

CHLORIDE MINI
 DISTRICT BUSY

Considerable activity is evidenced in the Chloride mining district, and es- pecially in the vicinity of the Famous Tennessee Mine" which has a record of producing $20,000,000, and has at tained a depth of 1,600 feet.
 Immediately adjoining this property on the north is the Schenectady with a production of $10,00O at 1855 foot depth; the Shuylkill at 500-foot depth jrGduced $125,000, while the Elkhart on the north of these two properties produced $1,150,000 and the greatest depth being 500 feet. These properties are all working full shift, and taking out high grade ore. The Tennessee is a steady shipper and the one property in this camp which has always been a steady producer. When the 1,400-foot level was reached it was predicted that the ore was running very low grade and the property was being worked out but on sinking to the present level it was found that the ore is much higher grade and the quantity greater
 The Chloride Queen which joins the Elkhart on the north has q record of producing $90,000 and greatest depth attained being 40 feet, and that being up on the sidehill. In fact this depth would not be on a level with the collar
 
 mine less than a mile away. The com uany have several well defined veins running full length of the property, ant are now running q drift on the main Sunday school vein, which is in ahout 80 feet, with very good values of ore in sight
 The road up the gulch from the Ten neSsee Is in fine shape due to the vari- ous companies working properties in this immediate vicinity It is reported that the railroad will be extended from the Tennessee mine to the Elkhart in the near future, also that the Elkhart will commence work at once on the re- modeiing and enlarging their mill to a 250 ton daily capacity.
 The Steffy mill just south of the Tennessee, which will have capacity of 25O tons daily, will, it is reported by the owner, be enlarged to 500 tons daily.
 The Chloride camp in general is very active Tributary to Chloride are about forty properties working steadily.

Liquor Traffio's New Line of Defense


 The brewers and distillers have been driven from their old defenses to new ones what may call the "Hndenburg" or "Sigfried line" They defending themselves against the charge of wasting grain which would otherwise be food In talk ing this line, they leaving exposed posi- tion. It is shown by statement by the brewers just issued senate committee on agriculture total cereal production United States last year 4745429 900 bushels; the total number of bushels used in making beer 7o5O548S number of bushels returned to farms as dairy food, 2467692O, so that only about per cent of the volume of grain turned into beer
 We do not know that these figures are correct, but there some other figures included in the state We learn from another source from official fig ures that the of domestic malt liquor con sumed in the Unied States in 1915 was almost 2O0O- 900 gallons Placing the this at 50 cents a gallon. there drawn the people domes- tic beer $1,OOOOOOOOO
 That is rather stiff price to have paid for the product of 45,82S56S bushels of grain whose market price could not have been one-tenth as much The brewers in their statement the committee take credit for having paid the government $S7 for the privilege of extracting from the people 100000 GOO which the people had better thrown away.
 The distilers also have statement in which it that last year they were engaged in patr- otlc work the manufacture of alcohol to be used and the allied countries in making munitions though of the 24923921 gallons of spirits from grain turned out last year 2O 900 gallons were not so account ed for It is also worthy of total output of spirits in 1913 in this country was 19S6O6OOO gal Ions and that year there munition making to speak of.
 We find also from official figures that the con sumption of domestic spirits manufactured from grain in the United States in 1915 the latest year for which figures available 12169O596 gallons Assuming that this the consumers s4 a gallon a very low estimate have here a half billion dollars worse than thrown away.
 All the arguments of the brewers and distilers are directed, of course against the proposition to prevent the wasting of grain by turning it into beer or whskey. Much little, it is a waste and worse than waste
 The Cincinnati Times Star concluding an editorial in support of the brewerfes and distileries says:
 The Times-Star is deeply impressed with the necessity of doing everything possible to win the war It is fully alive importance of food production and the cutting of food does not be- iieve that what might be called the net consumption of grain in breweres and disteries is large enough to justify under conditions closing these concerns. with all the disturbance to industrial and financial conditions which this would entail"
 But does not the Times-Star believe that the con servaton of $15O0oOOOOO which the people are an- nualy spending for domestic spirits is worth while Would the saving of this sum entail any serious financial disturbance?

The People and Panics

It is no doubt true, leading members of the Chicago Board of Trade state, hysteria is con trbuting largely to the soaring price of wheat panic which is affecting not only individuals but nations, resulting in a feverish placing of orders. President Wilson once said that business depression was largely a psychological effect. That not discovery. The psychology of panics has long been recognized. The high of living is panic People hear about and talk about it and exaggerate There are always plenty to help it along and promote the scare-the manufacturer. and the middlenan The panic of the high of living profitable to them The people put into frame of mind to pay still higher prices and when the prices raised people pay them Thus when the high of living campaign is once well started it needs adventitous aid to keep it going. The people, it's victims that All that those who profit by the panic to sit tight and rake in their gains. It's easy.
 So the food speculators are partly within the truth when they declare that hysteria is the trouble.
 Last summer when railway strike was immi- nent prices prodigiqusly everywhere People be- came scared and began hoarding@paying marvellous prices for pershable food which they could not con- sUIne and figures scared.
 But the people did not start the high cost of lv- ing. Nor did they commit any act to bring it to an alarming state That done by the spectators who having started the scare stood aside to watch it spread. Markets. defty manipulated here and there prices reached figures without any economic for doing so.
 Folks good deal like sheep, and they need protection against the whose it is to throw them panic If the people knew that the supply of food going to be properly controlled they would have less for stampedng. They
