serving Uncle Sam in some military capacity, according to figures ac- curately and carefully compiled by the welfare division of the Arizona council of defense Of this number, approximately B per cent, or 1889 men, have volunteered their services.
 These figures show that approxi- mately ? per cent of the total popula- ton of the State Is in the military service of the country. More than that, they show that Arizona has done more than it's share in support of tn, war for world democracy.
 Estimating the total population of the state at 250,0O0, Arizona has sup piled almost 214 per cent of its in habitants for Uncle Sam's army and navy. If other states had contribut- ed equally as large per cent of men, the total fighting forces of the United States would now be more than g. 100000 men, but the actual figures fall considerably below that mark
 Of the total number of men in mili- tary service, 3,472 were included in the first draft, Is per cent of which have not yet departed for the train ing camps. All of the remaining mel. have volunteered their services to the government.
 . Of the volunteers, 67o were includ- cd in the First Arizona regiment be. fore it became part of the grea, national army Of these, B were members of quartermasters corps and an additional g were aviators. Fifty, nine Arizonans are attached to tn. medical corps, e more arc member, of the signal corps and g are en- gineers.
 In the navy, Arizona contributed a total of l64 volunteers, while 2S ad ditional gave their services to the United States Marine corps. The figures above mentioned include all men in service on Nov. 30. There have been several enlistments sine. that time, which will materially in crease the total.
 This data has been collected by the welfare division of the Arizona coun- cil of defense for a double purpose. First, # will serve to carry on wei fare work among the soldiers de- pendents, and second, an accurate record of each soldier will be main taincd
 Each soldier was requested to fill out the welfare service cards Dues tions which they were obliged to ans wer were as follows: Name, age, mar ried or single; place and date of en rollment: present address, including regiment and company; branch of service; present rank: compensation from government; portion of pay as signed: to whom assigned: former employer, compensation received from former employer; allowance now made by former employer, if any; former address; names and addresses of dependents.
 Through the signing of these cards it has been learned that approximate ly 60 per cent of all Arizona men in military service are purchasers of Liberty Loan bonds of either the first or second issue. A great majority of these men are receiving S30 a month compensation from the government, and of this amount, Sl0 is being ap- piled on the Liberty Loan bonds Some are paying s monthly and a few are paying as high as SIS month ly
 In countless instances, almost, men are assigning practically their entire monthly pay to various purposes. For instance, one man is receiving $50 e month compensation; Sl0 of this amount is assigned to apply on his Liberty Loan bonds; and SIS more is assigned to dependents, leaving the man a total of g for spending money each month.
