SOME BRANCHES ARE OPEN
 EVEN TO DRAFTED MEN

The aviation section ordinance. de- artment and some other branches of the army are open to registered men not actually called for army duty. According to rulings recent y received from the provost mar shal general, such registered men may enGst in those departments.
 The rules permitting the release of men not called for a current quota hal been interpreted by some boards as meaning that registrants likely to be called at any time dur ing the second draft should not be allowed to enlist DelinGuents and registrants who have been ordered by the boards to report for military duty are alone debarred from en- listment.
 candidates for special branches of the service must first secure an or der from the proper military authori- ties. Local boards upon presenta- tion of such letters are instructed to examine the registrant for physical defects. and if qualified. to induct him into service. If the registrant is away from home, a transfer may be secured from the board of origin. The new rules provide that induction orders need not be sent to military authorities for endorsement.
 This explanation of the rules will do much. officials declare. to clear up confusion regarding enlistments and to free men from the draft who may wish to enter a special branch.

MILITIA COMPANY WILL oE
 FORMED fN SHORT WHILE

PHOENIX. March f-Formation of a military company in Phoenix as a part of the reserve battalion of mi litia is to 90 forward at once. accord ing to an announcement made yes terday at the office of Colonel Chas. w. Harris. adjutant general.
 This is in accordance with the in- structions issued to the adjutant general late in December by Cover nor Hunt, who stated in his letter that it was his opinion the organi- zation of a reserve battalion, ac- cording to the laws of the state. was necessary to the welfare and pro- tection of Arizona.
 According to Colonel Harris. adiu- tant general. the laws of the state relating to the organization of re- serve battalion provide for a batta- lion of four companies of not less than 100 nor more than r50 men each. and to be completely outfitted.
 The first company of the reserve battalion will be organized in Phoe- nix" said Colonel Harris yesterday. "CIarkdale. Bisbee. Globe. Yuma, Saf- ford and Tucson have made appli- cation for companies at those points. but am doubtful that companies Of sufficient size could be formed at the last three places.
 The organization of the companies will be left entirely to the men who form it." declared Colonel Harris After the formation of the com panies they will make application to the governor for acceptance in the reserve battalion. and it then will be up to him to approve of their or ganizations."
 At smoker to be announced in short time. it was declared at the statehouse yesterday, the first move toward the organization of a com pany for the reserve battalion will be made It also was announced that an armory would be secured which is to include the features of a club house.

Civil Code. will be determined by suit filed in the c.sice of the clerk O: the superior court yesterday. the plaintiffs. Wal ter NJ. Stein, ct al. praying that a writ of mandate be issued against the state tax commission to transmit pa. pers to the Clerk of the superior court of Cochise county.
 According to the complaint filed by Judge Richard E. Sloan. the plain tiffs are the owners of five mining claims in Cochise county.

LABoR'S LEADER STATES
 STRIKE IS NOT PLANNED

PHOENIX, March 1-There will be no general strike in the copper camps Of Arizona. according to Thomas J. Croaff. president of the Arizona State Federation of Labor
 Mir. Croaff last night made this denial of rumors that had been cir culated following the receipt of word from Utah that men were being se- cured in tat state for employment in the copper mines of Arizona.
 The statement of MT. Croaff is as follows:
 The rumor Of general strike throughout the state started at Bis bee, and no doubt found it's birth in the headquarters of the Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Congress and the Bisbee Loyalty league.
 No general strike is contemplated by organized labor in Arizona, and if trouble is started it cannot be credited to the State Federation of Labor or it's affiliated unions.
 Organized labor insists, however. that the best protection against in- dustrial strife is for the copper com panies to follow the letter and spirit of the orders of the presidents me diation commission. Organized la bor is doing that, and we urge or ganized capital to do likewise

GERMAN RESIDENT POSED AS
 ENeLisHMAN: IS EXPOSED

BISBEE. Feb. 27.-That her hus- band is a German and married her under a false name, was the surpris- ing information received yesterday by Mrs James Allan. g years old. a bride of three months. in a letter from the man she had welded. says Sundays Los Angeles Times. Mrs. Allan. when she read the epistle. collapsed and tainted in the postoffice and was taken to the Receiving Hos pitaI where physicians stated that she is in a perilous condition.
 Mrs. Allan was married in B!sbee three months ago to a mine foreman there. who told her his name was Al Ian Yesterday she received letter from him saying:
 T am German and I married you under the false name of James Allan. My real name is Frederick Wilhelm Droremeier. The knowl- edge of my past life was brought home to me when I was refused ad- mission into a church because my his tory was known. shall surrend- CT to the authorities and try to right the great wrong l have done You can easily secure a divorce
 While here the family lived on the top floor of the Kanaar Flats on Clawson Hill south of the High School They moved in on the 12th of last Angus; and before they left sold their furniture Allan. or Droremeier left here two weeks ago supposedly for New York and thence to England, and Mrs. Allan left last Friday morning for Tucson, where she stopped between trains and went on to Los Angeles.
 Mrs. Allan had a married sister in England and the husband was go- ing to England to bring the sister. who was separated from her hus- band. and children here to live.
 It seems probable that when Drore- meier attempted to get a passport in Washington or New York City his nationality was discovered and that he was not allowed 10 leave the country. Local people who know him believe he was a German spy and that his trip to England on hi. ostensible errand of bringing back his wife's sister was more to get in formation than anything else.
 Allan worked here for the Copper Queen as a miner and the couple had apparently been married more than three months as stated in the story from Los Angeles. as they had lived in the Kanaar Flats for six months.

DESERTER IS IN AGAIN
 AFTER BEING OUT AGAIN

DOUGLAS. March In again, out again and back again. is John Kelly's record in the guardhouse at Camp Harry J. Jones. KeIly's latest ad- venture was to escape from the gaardhouse last Tuesday night
 He was arrested about ten days ago by soldiers engaged in the man-hunt for desertion. Last Tuesday night he and the sentinel on duty at the guardhouse decided to break camp. Yesterday morning Kelly returned to the city and informed the authorities that he was ready to go back to pris- on to await the verdict of a court martial
 Kelly was arrested by the troops near Light, where it was said he had been residing with brother for some time. He had been wearing his uniform and had a government rifle. The troops brought him in and he was placed in the guard house to await arraignment before a court-martial
 Sheriff Harry c. Wheeler. who spent more than two weeks search ing the Chiricahua mountains for the Powers-Sisson band of outlaws, was quoted as having said that his failure to capture the murderers was partially due to the aid furnished them by Kelly and others. This could not be confirmed yesterday.
 Military authorities concluded that Kelly and the guard had fled to Mexico. Why he returned yester- day was not known to .them. Kelly appeared at the police station and said he was ready to be turned over to the military.
