MINES, SHELTERS AND
 RAILROADS ESSENTIAL
 SAYS DISTRICT BOARD
ARIZONA WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY IN MEETING QUOTA ON AC- COUNT OF CHARACTER OF IN- DUSTRIES

TUCSON, Sept 23.-The question as 10 how far employees of the mines. smelters and railroads are to be granted deferred classification in the next draft was discussed at a meeting of the district exemption board held at Tucson Saturday afternoon. The meeting was attended by a number of mine managers from southern Ari- zona who laid their case before the board.
 Members of the district board present were D. II. Claridge, John B. Wright, Dr. W. V. Whitmore. c. O. Ellis and c. J. Hellerstedt. The lat ter were recently named members of the board when the number was increased to seven. J. G. Compton and Arthur Notman were absent MT. Notman -as at Camp Cody taking the examination for a commission with the engineers.
 Mine Managers Present.
 Mine managers present at the meeting were G. H. DOwell, Bisbee, Copper Queen; Harry Clark, Doug las and Gohring, Warren, Calumet & Arizona; J. s. Williams. Jr., Douglas. Moctezuma Copper Co.,; Casep Stles, Cananea, Cananea Copper Co.,; l.. R. Buddow, Fl Tigre Mining Co.,, and Milton Mclean, Morenci, Detroit Copper Company. The question con sidered was urgent as questionnaires have been mailed out and must be re- turned within seven days. The board practically held that the mines, the n1e a sfaH but individual claims for exemption must be presented in every case, showing that the industry is essen tial and that the individual is neces- sary in operating the particular in dustry.
 All Necessary in Mine'%
 Affidavits must be made by both the head of the concern and the reg istrant's immediate superior. As a matter of fact practically every man employed by the mines these days is necessary. The output of the big companies has averaged only 72 per cent the past year, due entirely to labor shortage. All of the copper pro duced is sold to the government or on order of the government. Copper mining is Q hundred per cent war in dustry. All men are being used to take out ore and practically no de- velopment work is being done.
 Position of Shelters.
 The position of the smelters is a little different They will make no claim for exemption except for skill ed labor The mine managers left apparently very well satisfied with the position of the board. Whether under this arrangement Arizona will be able to raise her quota remains to be seen. Practically all the lead ing industries of the state are es- sential, including mining, smelting, railroading, agriculture and stock raising, Arizona also has a large foreign population which was figured in when the quota was made up. All of this will make it difficult to meet future draft quotas. Also many laborers have been shipped out of the state, but this practice has been ordered stopped.
 The district board has a big job before it and is settling fast the new problems brought up by the new draft

GRAIN MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23-New levels for the season were reached in the corn market today as a result of liqui- dation precipitated by reports that the German emperor was seriously i'll. The close was heavy, 12sc to 15sc down, with OctobeF-$4461z to $1.465s and November S1.441L to $1.449s.
 Oats finished unchanged to Ac higher. zv-sv
 In provisions the outcome varied from 5c decline to S5c advance.
 Numerous bearish factors in addi- tion to the reported illness of the German emperor contributed to the weakness of corn, once the down grade movement of prices had re- ceived impetus. Cheering war de- velopments and some revival of peace gossip attracted more and more at- tention and so, too, did the prevailing favorable weather for drying out the crop. Besides, rapid progress in cut ting was reported and indications pointed to uninterrupted liberal re- ceipts. Under such circumstances moderate gains which grew out of the food administrations announce ment of increased need of feeding grain for export were soon lost sight of and bulls were in retirement near ly the whole day.
 Oats showed fiI=nness despite the breaks in corn. Sustained inquiry from the government and exporters was responsible. Better cash demand and large shipments hoisted provf- sions. The setback in the value of hogs was entirely ignored.

CHARACTER OF SHELL
FROM BIG GUN NOW KNOWN
Premier Clemenceau's Paper De.
scribes the Peculiarities Of the
Big PrOjectile

Paris, March 2S.-The caliber of the
shells that are being fired into Paris
by the German long range gun is S.S
inches and the length of the shell Is
twenty inches, l'Homme Libre, Pre-
mer Clemenceau's newspaper states.
The shell weighs 200 pounds and con-
tairs less than twenty pounds of ex-
plosives.
The shell is provrIed with fuse
protected by threated stopper and
has diaphragm inside which divides
the she'll into two compartments of
unequal size. The holes in the dia-
phragm afford communication be-
tween the two pockets. These facts
are accepted as an explanation of the
two explosions which on occasion
have followed in quick succession and
which led to the belief that two guns
were firing.

AUTHORIZES 1T
500 Men Get Busy On $3,000,000
Structure to Store War Supplies
In Record Time

Chicago, March 2S.-Within 10
hours after General Goethals, acting
quartermaster general, had signed an
order authorizing the erection Of a
new $3,OOO,OOO warehouse here, 500
men and several steam shovels were
at work on the foundations.
With the completion of the struc-
ture Chicago will become, it is de-
clared, the largest warehouse center
in the United States and probably in
the world. The rise to this position
has been one of the phenomenal fea-
lures of Americas war program, The
mush-room-like growth of this divis-
ion has taken place since April, 1917
when the warehouse space here was
less than 4O,O2O square fee. With
the completion of buildings now in
course of construction, the depart
ment will have storage space in the
Chicago district totaling 100000
square feet
Chicago, according to Col. A. D.
Kniskern, in charge of the central
ouartermaster's depot, is being made
the storage center of the army be-
cause it is manifestly the most logi-
cal point.
Three units will comprise the lat
est warehouse, only two units oil
which will be erected at once. The
ultimate capacity will be 27,OOO,OOO
cubic feet. Each unit will have
frontage of 900 feet and a depth OF
500 feet.
The warehouse, which is located in
the central manufacturing district
will be built of REINFORCED concrete
and will be one of the largest in the
world. Like others previously erect
ed for the army, it will be one story
high. with 1O-foot platforms on each
side served by five railroad tracks.
The floors will be at car-door level
this being accomplished by the de-
preston of the tracks.
The history of the quartermaster
departments growth in Chicago reads
like the account of a remarkable com
mercial achievement Shortly after
war was declared an abandoned race
track was taken over and its acres
we're soon filled with motor trucks
army wagons and similar heavy
equipment. Thirty days later 6OO''
900 square feet Of floor space were
added through the utilizing of build
ings already constructed, and at the
same time the erection Of special
warehouses was begun.

Preparation for expert supervision

farmers. The war preparedness board
will be furnished with records of pro-

Crop production will play one of

Mr.. Ford added. This is shown in
the fact that the English government
gives tractor shipments preference ov-

opens on April 9Th.
A special woman's committee TO
carry out organized effort throughout
the district has been organized with
Mrs. Haynes McFadden, Of Atlanta, as

chairman; and under the direction of
these, Liberty Loan womaI's commits
tees are being organized in every
county in the state.
IL some of the larger cities, a
unique scheme is being introduced by
the women in charge. A little cottage,
known as a Liberty Cottage, is being
built at the busiest part of the city,
where most people are constantly
passing. This cottage is used as a
booth at which bonds may be pur-
chased, literature obtained, and gen.
eral information given committee Of
prominent women and pretty girls
are in charge.
Elsewhere many plans are prepared
for reaching the public and the pub
les pocketbook Stress is being laid

hangers will be placed on residence
doors by Boy Scouts. Newspapers are
receiving advertising layouts to be
paid for by patriotic banks and busi-
ness firms of the towns in which they
