FEW EXEMPT FROM MILITARY DUTY
 AND NONE FR0M MILITARY CENSUS
Mennonites Appeal to Governor to Be Left Off List Against Their Religious Beliefs and Are Told That
 All Men Are Subject to Census But Can Claim Exemp- tion for Their Belief in Proper Method and Manner

Section 59 or the new federal defense act entitled, Exemptions from Mill tia Duty-The vice president ct the United States, the officers, judicial and executive of the government of the United States and Of the several states and territories; persons in the military or naval service of the United States; customhouse clerks; persons employed by the United States fn the transmits sion of the mail; artificers and work men employed in the armorles, arse nals and navy yards Of the United States: pilots. mariners actually enn- ployed in the sea service of any citizen or merchant within the United States, shall be exempt from militia duty with out regard to age and all persons who, because of religious belief shall claim exemption from military service, if the conscientious holding Of such belief by such person shall be established under such regulations as the president shall prescribe, shall be exempted from mi litia service in q combatsnt capacity, but no person so exempted shall be ex- emPt from militia service in any ca- pai,ity that the president shall declare to be noncombatant.
 Despite the fact that they are exempt from militia service in a combatant ca pacity, delegation of Mennonites from the SahuaTita district in Pima county, appeared before Governor Thomas l.. Campbell at the state house yesterday afternoon, asking that their names be omitted from the military census now being taken. The delegation was com posed of Rev. H. J. Gaede, H. T. Epp, John J. Bolat and J. B. Schroeder.
 This religious party, it was explained to Governor Campbell, is composed all most entirely of Germans and Rus sions. They left their native haunts in the old country to avoid military ser vice and training of all kind, because their religious beliefs are not in keep ing with military service.
 According to the information given the governor yesterday afternoon, there are about 61 members of the religious faith in the Sahuarita district This includes old as well as young men. In the United States there are about TO- 900 Mennonites.
 While Governor Campbell explained to the delegation the new federal de- fense act, he told them that no one was exempt from being enrolled on the military census of Arizona because it was for the purpose of determining who was exempt from military service that the census was being taken.

AMSTERDAM, April Il (via London, April 12).-The American army is held up to ridicule by Major Moraht. writ ing in the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, who jeers at the idea that America can give any effective military aid to the allies. Major Moraht says:
 The American army can do no harm to Germany. The civil war cost half a million lives because neither side had a trained force. Now Wilson, forgetful of history is trying the same thing but it will be shown once more that the braggadocio of his country men is in inverse ratio to their fight ing value"

DESERT DIVISION
 FUR ROOSEVELT |S RECRUITING HERE

Believing that Colonel Roosevelt is going tC secure permission from the United States government to organ iZe division. and that the call will come within q short time, Major Frederick Russell Burnham. and w. H. Lightfoot, who have been in the state for :he past week laying the foundation for a desert cavalry reg
 iTnent are going ahead with their plans and enrolling men for the or ganiZatiOn.
 Major Burntam, who was cchief of
 scouts under Lord Roberts in the
 8oer war. has been in Bisbee confer
 ring with John c. Greenway, and in Tucson where he met Epcs Randolph. He is Cnlisting the services of SeV eral of the biggest men in the state
 in the enterprise ans expects to enroll
 large number of Arizonians who are used to riding and roughing it.
 Mir. Lightfoot, who has practically finished raising a company in Blythe, California, made up of cowboys from
 the Colorado river country. left for that place last night to finish his ar :. engagements.
 While in Phoenix, he covered con- siderable ground ard personally se lected about 50 men who will join his company when the call comes
 MT. Lightfoot has a wide acquaint- ance among the cattle men of the state and many of them are anxious
 to join his command. He will prob ably return here within he next two weeks or so. In the meantime he has left enrolment blanks with Robert F. Holiday of The Arizona Republican, who will furnish information 70 all those who desire to enroll.
 Enrolment with the Roosevelt di- vision is not an enlisi ment. It does not mean that a man will have to go when the call comes, Eut merely sig nifies his desire and intention to go if he is called.
 Only men who are good horsemen, and accustomed to life in the open arc desired. In case the necessary permission is given Colonel Rocse- welt plans have all been made for the mobilization of the various units. Six days notice will be given each man. If he does not report at the
 place designated within that period, his name will be dropped from the | rolls. l. is thought that the Arizona | contingent will mobilize at Blythe.

 They are the Wasps of the navy mounting rapid firing, destructive, high power guns on the super decks and the little chasers fairly lift them selves out of the water as the power is applied. They seem to realize the need for the great speed that is said 10 be their chief asset.

Census Is Not a Draft

In line with the statement of the governor to the Mennonites is the statement of the purpose of the mili- tary census now being taken. It is . military census and not a military draft that is being conducted by the county, said County Assessor J. T Bone who urges every man betweer the ages of IS and 45 to register al his office in the court house. MT. Bone said yesterday that it would be a big saving to the county if the men would cooperate to the extent of voluntarily registering.
 People seem to have a wrong idea of the purpose of the census" said MT Bone. This is not a draft. It is mere ly compilation of rsmes of men be- tween the ages set forth by the law The men will not be called to take uI arms by having their names on the list. The county has employed large staff for this work which the governor wished completed at an early date. Ii will be a great help if people would come in and register and I am sure they would if they understood the situation. Since the census began the number who have appeared in my of flee for this purpose average but three a day"
 Court Bows to Census
 The United States district court stopped yesterday afternoon while the , enumerating officer securing names Ot all men of military age who were in the court room.
 The men who are taking the names of all men who are liable for military service have had some peculiar ex- periences. Some few of those ap- preached have refused to give thei1 names, and have been arrested.
 Judge SaWtelle of the federal court though thought different of it yester- day. As soon as the officer told the judge that he was there on official business and desired to secure the names of all those in the court room the judge granted recess, and would ! have been at the head of the list if his age did not exempt cm. Everyone in the federal building was listed yesterday. There has been q popular opinion that all employees ol the government are exempt from the draft. This is not so. Their names are put on the list, and if any of then are drawn, proper certificates showing i they are employees of the government will exempt them from military service for the time being.
