ARIZONA MAKING GOOD RECORD IN WORLD WAR
 FOR DEMOCRACY
More Than Five Thousand Men From This State Were in Service on November 30. Many Enlistments Since

A total of 5SI1 Arizona boys are serving Uncle Sam in some military capacity. according to figures ac- ourately compiled by the welfare di- vision of the Arizona council of de- fense. Of this number. approximately 35 per cent. or 1889 men. have voluR- teered their services.
 These figures show that apOroxi- mately 2 per cent of the total pOpula- tiOn of the state is in the military service of the country. More than that. they show that Arizona has done more than it's share In support of the war for world democracy.
 Estimating the total population of the state at 25O. .0O0. Arizona has sup piled almost ? 1-4 per cent of its in habitants for Uncle Sam's army and navy. Ii other states had contributed equally as large a percent of men. the total fighting forces of the United States would now be more than 2.000.- 900 men. but the actual figures fall considerably below that mark
 Of the total number of men in mili- tary service. S472 were included in the first draft, 15 per cent of which have not yet departed for the training camps. All of the remaining men have volunteered their services to the government.
 Of the volunteers. 679 were included in the First Arizona regiment before it became a part of the great national army. Of these. 5S are members of quarteTmasters' corps and an addi' tiOnal 5 are aviatOrs. Fifty-nine Ari- zonsns are attached to the medical corps. 62 more are members Of che signal corps and @ are engineers. In the navy. Arizona contributed a total of 164 volunteers. while 2S addi. tiOnal army gave their services to the United States marine corps. The fig ures above mentioned include all mem in service on November 20. There have been several enlistments since that time which will materially in- crease the total
 This data has been collected by the welfare division of the Arizona coun- ell of defense for a double purpose. First. 1t will serve to carry on welfare work among the soldiers dependents, and second. an accurate record of each soldier will be maintained.
 Each soldier was requested 70 fin Ou the welfare service cards Cues. tiOns which they were obliged 10 an swer were as follows: Name. age married or single; place and date of enrolment; present address: inclnd ing regiment and company: branch of service; present rank: compensation rem government: portion of pay as signed; to whom assigned: former m plOyer; compensation received from former employer. if any; former address; names and addresses of de pendents.
 Through the signing of these cards it has been learned that approximately 50 per cent of all Arizona men in military service are purchasers of Lib erty loan bonds of either the first or second issue. A great majority of these men are receiving SS0 month compensation from the government. and of this amount $I0 is being ap- piled on the Liberty loan bonds. Some are paying S5 monthly. and a few are paying as high as SIS monthly.
 In countless instances. almost. men are assigning practically their entire monthly pay to various purposes. For instance. one man is receiving SSO a month compensation; $10 of this amount is assigned to apply on his Liberty loan bonds; and SIS mere is assigned to dependents. leaving the man total of S2 for spending money each month.
