daring, there must be the patriotism of
vanishing war jobs and anxious days,
of changing conditions for loyal work
ers everywhere and contradictory re-
ports about labor readjustments. And
this second test of patriotism touches
all classes. 1t is covered by the one
word reconstruction" an industrial
process in which the civilian popula-
ton receives and assimilates the re-
turning soldiers.
This is what Miss Laura Drake Gill,
CLief of the Field Division of the
United States Employment Service,
Department of Labor emphasized
strongly after busy day.
In the months that are coming it
is to be expected that human nature
will reveal itself in the little incon-
sistencies so characteristic in plain,
everyday living" said Miss Gill. Per
sons who have been keyed up to the
supreme sacrifices doubtless will man
ilest Impotence at the minor sacri-
fees. Those who have courageously
borne the heavy possibilities of
the war are likely to chafe under the
lighter burdens.
Women will feel the minor sacri-
fees even more than men. After put
ting off the one big load of anxiety
concerning a beloved son or husband
they will be inclined to be aggrieved
when the smaller weights of care are
substituted Voluntary self-sacrifice
for the Red Cross is much more pleas
ant than compulsory self-denial for
the home There is a thrill in can
teen work for the Y. w. c. A. not to
be found in kitchen work for ones
own family. In other words, women
will encounter in the return to home
8, rvice from world service many sig
nificant trials. The reaction from
the exaltatiOn that attended the drama
of war to the monotony that belongs
to domestic routine at time when the
most severe economies are impera-
tive will be hard to endure
But Americans will be equal to the
secondary test of patriotism. They
will meet all the costs of the war
cheerfully. They will economic wise
ly They will serve nobly even in the
hublest tasks. Comparatively few
will think first of what they are going
gel rather than what they are going to
give in supporting Government plans
for reconstruction. After all, there are
not many men or women who will eel
that the Government owes them some
thing instead of knowing that they owe
much to the Government"

PATRIOTISM'S SECOND TEST.

1t is easier to carry a gun than to
carry an empty pocketbook.
Every soldier who has gone away
with the one must be prevented from
having any experience with the other

that the nation must be equal to what
may be termed the second test OF
patriotism.

HOCTORING THE COTTON FIGURES.

Tom Helm, who starts Things III
the House of Representatives a
Washington every once in while,
started something else Saturday when
he accused the government bureau of
crop estimates with oyerestimating the
1918 cotton crop by half million
bales. And Tom appears to have the
figures on his side. The complete gin
ming figures will be available before
many days, and Tom says they will
show he is correst. If he should be
shown to be correct it will be up to
the board to do some real explaining.
Issuing a statement at this time over
estimating the cotton crop-a time
when the big cotton gamblers are do
ing everything in their power to break
the market and themselves reap the
reward of world demand that will
bring millions to the South, if the
farmers but hold on-is a serious
matte:
But, whatever the facts later on may
show, here is what Hetlin says:
up to December /, 1917, we had
ginned 9,14,000 bales of cotton, and
the crop of that year was ll,248,OOO
bales. Up to Decc.nDer /, 1918 we had
ginned only 9,563,0OO bales, 10000
bales less than were ginned 10 De
cember l, 1917, and yet the bureau O.
crop estimates, by some strange pro-
cess of reasoning, ignores the physi-
cal facts here stated and guesses that
the 1918 crop will be II 100000 bales.
This estimate is unjustified by
every fact of the cotton situation The
red spider a new pest, did, incalcula-
BILE damage in some sections this year.
The boil weevil infested area was
larger than 1917 Less fertilizers were
used than in 1917, and the destructive
drought in July of this year was with
out parallel in the history of cotton
production.
so in the light of these truth re-
garding the sotton situation charge
that the bureau of crop estimates has
Overestimated the 1918 cotton crop by
At least 100000 bales. The final gin
niag reports will prove the correctness
81 my position" -~%i<AsA&ar.
Hefin declared that the worlds de-
mand for cotton is about seven million
bales greater than the worlds supply
and that the world Is face to face
with cotton famine"
The cotton mills of the United
States will consume 100000 bales of
this years crop and the English spin
ners will need 100000 bales of Amer
lean cotton" Heffin continued. This
is more than the American crop will
be, and there viii be no cotton sup
ply the cotton mills of France, Italy,
Russia, Belgium, Austria and Ger
many. There are more spindles in
these countries that there are in the
United States, and yet our mills con-
sumed last year about 100000 bales
of cotton"
1.-THE lowest grade of the best wool
is selling for $1.03 a pound and the
highest grade for $185 a pound" add
ed Hefin. Who can deny that these
prices justify the cotton producer in
demanding 60 and 20 cents per pound
for his cotton?"

 one had been exhausted
 "Therc is q sentiment in this com
 mittec," said Baker. "I don't know
 how large-against calling men as young as IS unless it is absolutely necessary I think the sentiment of the country is to get all the men necessary But from the beginning have planned as matter of regula- ton to have men from IS to lo put in a separate class with a view to de- ferring their call until it is neces- sarv."
 He added that this preference might well be left to the executive, but he would have no objection to hay ing a specific provision written into the bill. Regarding exemption of married men. Secretary Baker was closely examined by committee mem- bcrs. Representative Tilson of Con- ncCticut suggested that many nfen are being married to evade the new draft and that the bill should provide that those married after the new bill was introduced should not be exempted Baker said such a rigid provision of the law was unnecessary: that the de- rartment could disregard all mar riages made to evade the new law.
 Baker said not more than six training would be given at home to the new registrants.
 In extending the draft ages, Secre tary Baker said, suspension of aca- dcnrc education is an "unsolved prob lcm." and that it would be most un- fortunate to have all collegiate educa- ton stopped. He was against exemp- ion of college students as a class.

KHAKI BOYS ARE NOT KEENADOUT
 THEIR VOTES
OUT OF THE 1000 PRIM- AIRY ELECTION BALLOTS SENT TO THE CAMPS, ONLY 25 HAVE BEEN RE TURNED TO DATE.

The sending of the primary cleo ton ballots to the Arizona soldiers who are supposed to be scattered about at various army cantonments in the United States, isn't going to add materially to the size of the vote in the county on September 10, 1918, according to statement made yes terday by R. T. Belcher, clerk of the board of supervisors. In spite of the fact that Mir. Belcher has mailed out more than 1000 ballots for the primaries 10 the Yavapai county boys, only g of them had been re- turned to the supervisors up to yes terday evening. Consequently, the soldier vote at the coming election isn't going to be any great thing in point Of size.
 When the law which provided for taking care Of the votes of absentee soldiers was passed, ii was believed that many of the Arizonans would still be in camp at the time the pri- maries rolled around. and that if would be worth while to go to a lot of trouble to allow the boys to vote But firm present returns, it would seem that there are very few Hassa- vampers left on this side of the At -lantic or else that those who do re- main in the United States aren't ovcr- ly keen to bother about voting.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - No general exemption of married men simply because of their marriage status is contemplated by the war de- partment in preparing for the pro- posed extension of draft ages. Sec retary Baker declared today in a statement before the house military committee on the new administration manpower bill.
 Baker said his previous remarks on this subject had been misconstrued, and that married men who do not support their families and who are not engaged in useful occupations will continue 10 be called. There are many married men in inc country who ought to go and fight as freely as single men," he declared.
 The war secretary. with Gen. Mt.rch and Provost Marshal General Crowdcr. appeared bef2re the house committee to reiterate their explana- ton that immediate enactment of the manpowcr bill is imperative
 "There are two ways of prosecut- ing this war" Baker said. "One way is to make every possible effort 10 do it now, and the other is to proceed somewhat more leisurely and do it later. The obvious advantage from every standpoint. social, military. in dustrial and economic, is to put forth every effort in this country and win the war as soon as possible"
 The secretary announced that he would not object to placing a pro vision in the bill making a separate class of men between IS and 10 wars and to defer calling them Gas far as

IS thoroughly undemocratic. Scien tifically trained experts, however, are needed and education of such men must be continued to an extent.
 Men injured in the war will be sent 10 colleges after they recover, the secretary explained, and thus to some extent fill up the academic institu- lions. Regarding present exemption of divinity students, he said their draft for army chaplains is being arg ed.
 The departments plans, Baker said, are to call all the young men by the middle of the next year-but substantially after the school year is through.
 Gen. Crowder interjected that the new program is expected to raise 2,300,000 men by June 30, 1919. and that it is proposed to call 100000 men by that time.
 On the question of volunteer en- listments, which some committee members said should be discontin- ned for the navy and marine corps as well as the army if the new bill IS passed, Baker said the navy opposes prohibiting volunteer enlistments. He pointed ont, however, that the bill would place every man between Is and 4 under control of the war de partment and that it would be pos sible for him and Secretary Daniels to work out in harmony a program to supply men for the navy
 Regarding supplanting young of- ficers in non-combatant duty by older men, Secretary Baker said, all young officers capable of military duty are being relieved as far as possible

In addition there are about l5.00O marines serving with the expedition ary forces.
 For the present it is planned to send 25O.OOC men monthly to France, Gen. March stated, adding:
 But we hope to increase that in the spring."
 By having the man power bill pass ed quickly, Gen. March told the com- alittce, the new men could be call cd in time to get more training than the six months minimum.
 Not Maximum of Power
 By calling these men then" said Representative Anthony, you will have delivered by July this coun- try's maximum military power" By no means" Gen. March sharp ly replied. Not at all"
 The bill. Gen. March said, will not interfere with men between IS and 45 going into training camps to seek commissions.

WASHINGTON. Aug. l9.-Naval officials concede the possibility that the German submarines operating off the Atlantic coast may have been in communication with persons ashore and may have even landed members of their crew. The two raiders re- gently off the coast have now ceas- ed their operations.
 The naval department estimates the total number of German submar- ies destroyed at over 200. The num- Der in commission is believed to be about l0S. The raiders recently cut the French transatlantic cable for the second time. but it has been re- stored. Three raiders which were re- gently on this side are described as being of the cruiser type, with an operating radius of l7,OO0 miles and carving two guns.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l9.-To put 80 divisions of Americans in France by June, 1919, Gen. March, address ing the house military committee, em- phatically declared:
 We need every single man in class one between IS and 45. We must not deludc ourselves with the idea that those in the IS and lo calls are going to be deferred any length of time. They will have to be called carly next spring in order to get their training in time to get to France"
 The Subdivision plan Gen. March said, depended upon shipping facili- ties, but he asserted:
 T might as well say right here, frankly, that the program of MT. Schwab will take care of the army program and gain on it."
 Gen. March read an official state ment showing on Aug. l the Ameri- can army numbered 3,0l2ll2 men divided as follows:
 American expeditionary force and en route overseas, l,30l,742; in the United States and insulaf posses sions, l,432,706; called in the August draft, 277, ,664

 Representative Kahn said 1t might be necessary to go beyond the Rhine, and asked if any accurate estimate could be given of the number of men that finally will be necessary to win the war.
 Replying Gen. March said that when the Germans began their spring offensive they were superior in rifle power
 If you put go divisions of Ameri- cans in France. Of approximately 45.- eco men to a division" said Gen. March, you will give us marked Superiority in rifle power - more marked than was the Germans-and we should be able 10 bring the war to a successful conclusion in 1910"
 ''I think the war will be won or lost on the western front" Gen March replied. in conclusion, when asked if he had considered only con- ditions on the western front in esti- mating that the war might be won next year.

.erwin Family Seems Consistent
 In Fighting Spirit

George Mcrwin was agreeably sur prised yesterday to learn that his son, Jerome Merwin, a native of Ari- yona had been commissioned a first lieutenant in the army, and was on duty at Camp Fremont, Cal.
 The honor bestowed on this young man of omiy 57 years is due to his training as soldier during the Span ish-American war. when he enlisted at the age of only Y years, serving the full service period in the Philli- pines. After being mustered out he again volunteered and served two B year cnliStments with the coast ar tillery. His reward comes from ef- ficiency and is due to his splendid record in the past.
 It is stated his promotion from the ranks came unsolicited, and he writes that he lis in the dark" as 10 where lie is going.
 David Merwin. another son of Mir Merwin. is now in the navy on the Atlantic coast, also being a volun- tcer. The father stated yesterday his two boys seem to be "chips off the old block" as he is a civil war veteran and did not wait for con- scription 10 be exercised in the long
