GUN TEARS OFF HAND 0F HIGH
 SCHOOL PUPIL

Sidney E. Lathlean, the 1S-year-old son of Henry w. Lathlean, superinten- dent of money orders in the Phoenix postoffice, yesterday accidentally shot off all of his right hand save the thumb when a shotgun he was carrying through a fence went off. The Lath- leans live upon a ranch near Phoenix and the young man, who is a high school pupil, was out hunting at the time of the accident. It is understood that in crawling through a fence he was attempting to drag the gun through after him, hauling it, by the muzzle, when the fence pulled the trig ger and the youth got the full charge in his right hand
 The father was hastily sent for and brought his son to Phoenix as quickly as possible. Dr. E. Payne Palmer was summoned and operated immediately. pr. Palmer states that the thumb will be saved in all probability as the charge went through the palm of the hand and did not injure that member
 Young Lathlean is at St. Joseph's hospital where the operation was per formed.

crecy regarding government contracts let is illegal, adding, this policy of secrecy is unwise, unbusinesslilIe and contrary to American business method and practices
 'Eisenman offered to ask firms given contracts if they disapproved the se- crecy policy.
 Of course, the firms with which you dealt secretly would approve" said Senator McKellar.
 Eisenman sharply resented the state ment.
 Its not fair to have my motives i'm pugned," he said heatedly. T was called down yesterday for protesting and I am willing to be called down again. You can have all my records they are all open-but I'm not going to be insulted or have my motives inn pugned We have no secret contracts"
 Senator Frelinghuysen offered cor respondence to show that Sol s. Strooch, of the supplies committee, had over-ruled the quartermaster general on a felt order and had directed rejection of a quantity ordered from a competitor in the felt business.
 Eisenman said prices to manufactur- CTS, on government specifications, are fixed and public, but that to give ad- vance information of huge government needs would cause quick and temen dous price increases.
 Turning to the reduction of wool content offered by the supplies com mittee in clothing, Senator Kirby asked if, any complaints regarding the new clothing from officers in the field, abroad or in the cantonments, had been received.
 Not a single complaint up to now" said Eisenman, emphatically.
 Senator Weeks inquired regarding disapproval by Eisenman of an offer October of 101 900 overcoats at s1,- 500,000 to Quartermaster General Sharpe, who sent a letter to the wit ness asking if purchase of the coats would interfere with the supplies com mittees plans. Correspondence showed that Eisenman disapproved accepting | the coats, which were offered by the American Uniform company of New | York, for delivery July 1, 1918, because | they would be delivered too late for the | winter season and that the firms con- mercial rating was low.
 Senator Weeks said the American l Uniform company has $70O,0O0 capital and for a month tried to get a contract
 
 yards of cloth on hand. The supplies committee, the Massachusetts senator said, did not appear entirely respon- 1 sible for rejection of the overcoat offer and that the quartermaster generals office had rebuffed the company.
 Regarding wool offers from the Ma tional Association of Wool Growers Frederick Ellington, Eisenman's as- sistant, testified that wool was not of fered at the governments own price but that the government comman- deered the entire wool clip.
 Senator McKellar read a letter from Senator King of Utah stating that the latter had pleaded with Eisenmar and Secretary Baker to take the woo growers supplies at the government own price and that they had beer turned down. Eisenman replied that ht did not recollect such an offer.

Crowder shows that 9,5S6,50S men be- tween the ages of 21 and 31 years reg istered. Up to late in December, only 5,S70 arrests had been made of those who sought to evade registration and of that number 2,263 were released af- ter having registered, and there re- mains only 2.095 cases to be prosecuted. The report declares that in the final analysis of the records it will be shown that only 0.00026 per cent of the men within draft age evaded registration.
 A rough figure of S.2 per cent is given as the number of registrants who failed to appear when called by their local boards for examination, but General Crowder hastens to explain that most of these men already are in Europe in the American, British and French ar- mics. They did not await the draft process in their eagerness to get into action.
 The final data will undoubtedly show" General Crowder adds, that the number of those who fully failed to appear for examination when called is insignificant"
 Of the total registration of 9,5S6, ,5OS, the number called and examined was 30S2,949 and of these 1,O57, 1863 were certified by the boards for military service. Since the first call was for only 6S7, 900 men, there now remain 370,363 men awaiting summons to the mobilization camps.
 Physical Rejections Few
 Of all men examined, 730,756, or 23.7 per cent were rejected for physical reasons. That, it is pointed out, shows an encouraging improvement in the physical condition of the young men of

With eight new members initiated last night into the Phoenix lodge B. P. o. Elks, the local order has made a record of having initiated 165 new members into the lodge since October. The largest number ever received into the Phoenix lodge in any previous year has been 143. Thus the lodge is p ahead of any whole year.

With the enthusiasm now evident in ! the local lodge of Elks it is confidently expected that there will be 800 mem bers received into that order in Phoenix | next year.

the nation since civil war days for at that time the draft authorities rejected 32 per cent of all men called on physi- cal grounds. About one-half of all men called, or 1,560,570 claimed ex- emptiOn. The claims of 7S per cent of these were granted, showing in the opinion of officials that very few frau- dulant claims were filed. Of those eX- empted, "A per cent were released be- cause of dependent relatives, 20 per cent because they claimed alien birth and nationality; and only six per cent on vocational grounds. Less than l per cent of the exemptions were granted to religious objectors or to those morally unfit The figures are 3,SS7 exempted because of religious belief, their eX- emptiOn extending only to release from participating in actual combat; and 2,001 rejected for moral unfitness. The majority of the latter were convicts now in prison.
 The total cost of the first draft, eX- elusive of the cost of the provost mar shal generals office here, was S5,211, 965.
 This amount has been refunded to the states by the federal government. It represents an average cost of $4.93 PCI ludil dCCtpltu IOI iIl1lldIX S6INlCts and with the provost marshal general s expenses included, $5 per man, against a cost of $24.4S per voluntary recruit in 1914; $1914 in 1915 and $2S.95 in the first nine months of 1917. Prior to the draft act during the civil war, the cost ! per man was about s34, and after the draft was enforced, about $9.S4. Adequate Army First
 l In GiGPnS Sinpr tho fut f ha draf fl | General Crowder says the first duty is | to provide an adequate army. Economic considerations must be regarded in se- lecting the men, he says, but not at the expense of an efficient fighting force | Viewed beside the efforts Germany and Austria have put forth to place man power in the field, he adds, "it little | becomes us to emphasize above g whisper as a substantial national prob lem anything we have yet been called upon to do.'
 Tables accompanying the repor show many strange results of the draft. Taking the total of 1,243, ,S0- aliens registered, it is shown that O the 457,713 called up for examination 76,545 were certified for military ser vice, having voluntarily waived thei right to exemption as aliens and in eff feet volunteered for the battle for de mocracy. Even of the 3S1, ,16S exempt ed, 40 per cent went out on othe grounds than their alient status.
 There was evident some variations o practice among the states on the ques tion of eXempting married men. A tota of 163,115 married men have been cer tified for service. In Mississippi tn
 boards held 38 per cent of all married men called for service; in Wisconsin and North Dakota only per cent wer held; it is expected efforts will be mad
 to unify the practice of boards nor closely in this regard.
 Montana led among the states il number of men called who filed n
 claim for exemption Figures for tha
 state show that so per cent of me-
 called up were ready to go to the front Kentucky had the greatest number O exemption claims, 52 per cent of all me
 called filing affidavits. The averag
 number of claims was 46 per cent.
