DRAF I AGE MEN
 CANNOT BE USED

In response to many queries received concerning enlistment in the Red Cross service after rejection by army off cials, a decisive report was received yesterday by the Phoenix Chamber.
 Several applications have been for warded to headquarters in San Fran cisco, and in this connection Atholl Mclean, director, bureau of personnel there, says:
 We are sorry not to be able to en- roll the application enclosed with your letter. The applicant being within the draft age bars us from accepting his application for foreign service.
 This is a rule that has been laid down by the Washington headquarters. Even though the applicant has been re- jected by the army, it is not possible for us to send young men abroad whose appearance would warrant their being in the army, on account of the effect it would have on the French and British soldiers.
 Tn case you have any more appli- cants within the draft age, will you kindly explain this situation to them"

LONDON, Mar. 5.-A Petrograd dis patch to the Exchange Telegraph com- pany, dated Monday evening, says that notwithstanding the cessation of hos tilities, German airplane appeared over Petrograd at five o'clock in the afternoon and dropped bombs. Air planes also were seen flying over New sky Prospekt, and the belief prevailed that the enemy was aiming at Nicholas Station.
 Sunday night Zeppelins were ob- served at Gatchina, 35 miles from Pet rograd flying toward the capital, but they were driven off by the anti-air- craft batteries.

REGISTER FUR
 ELECTION OPEN

The registration for the city election has been resumed since the primary and will be continued until within 10 days of the general election. An oppor- tunity is thus offered those who could not or did not register for the pri- maries.
 How many voters were yet unregis- tered can only be guessed at. It has been roughly estimated that there are 1000 people in the city qualified to vote. Of this number 5,631 were reg istered for the primaries. The present period of registration ought to add at least 1000 to the list.

WOMEN IN GARAGES.

THE IDEA OF woman in an argument with an obstinate
gasoline engine is painful and so it isn't without
feeling of regret that their invasion of the motor trade is
noted here Yet, If they can qualify and absorb the me
chanica skill needed in that work their efforts are apt to
be something than passing fad an outburst OF
patriotic enthusiasm The growth Of the automobile in
dusy is so great it is problem to keep the assistants
needed to keep the cars in shape. And right on top Of
that is the shipping industry calling for mechanics Of
many kinds, and General Pershng making particular
appeal for more mechanics for the aviation branch
Of the service in France The idea Of letting the
do the work so popular with first Americans may be
unpleasant to those whose ancestors came later but there
is doubt that the is getting too large for the men
to handle without letting women do more Of the work

meeting At Ardmor. last week Being the patriots they
are Il was right and natural for them to pass resolutions
of un,nted praise for the Oklahoma congressman ana
senator who have proved their patriotism in the halls OF
congress- and that the one who failed and altered in the
hour of his nation, need should feel the sting OF their
wrath.
And the young democrats Of today are the party organ
iraton Of tomorrow hence their support will mean more
and their anger have more telling effect in campaigns yet
to come than in any that past Like the young men
who met at Ardmore this state patriotic and will prove

But, while patriotism predominates, there are other
issues which have place in the campaign now opening
prominent among them being suffrage and national proh-
hilton That the young democrats have given these their
support will greye Henry Wateson who sees in one the
downfall of states rights and in the other the degradation
of womanhood a needless alarm, It seems to us These
changes are coming and when they come will prove how
needessy the old school statesmen have viewed with alarm
Young men see Visions and possibly see more in the
contemplated measures than their realization will bring
for the political panacea never up to expectation
But on the whole they have shown political sagacy,
which plus patriotism means enduring life for the party
