British F God Shortage

Aided by Bad Weather
[Staf CORRESPONDENCE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE great
shortage of foodstuffs in Britain,
France and Italy is partly attributable.
according to authorities here, to the
work Of the enemy submarines. which,
despite Lloyd Georges declaration
some time ago that they are no longer
to be feared, are still exercising a
dangerous influence upon the shipping
Of the world.
Naval experts attribute the late sue
cesses of the submarines to the weather
conditions adverse to the operations of
destroyers and other small chasing
craft, and predict confidently a sure
improvement in the spring, when not
only weather conditions will be more
favorable to the destroyers, but there

MUST REGISTER
 SATURDAY, AUG, 24
THOSE BECOMING 21 YEARS OF AGE SINCE JUNE ARE DEQUiR ED TO REGISTRATIONS BABY SOLDIERS

There will be no let up in the stream of men to be poured into Flu rope from now until peace is declar- cd. The new age limit is estimated to furnish ten million men who can be drafted into the service, if need be, these will be called upon to reg. ister September 5, unless changed by the presidents proclamation, in the event the law passes congress in tiIoe.
 But General Crowder has called for another registration for next Satur- day, August 24, when the young men who have become 21 years of age since June 9th, will be called upon to register for military service. It is estimated that one hundred and fifty thousand will be available from this registration, which will be used to fill up Class I, now practically ex- hausted.
 All young men who have become 21 since June must go to their places of registration and register next Sat urday, August 24.
 On account of many of the larger states holding primary elections on September 9th it is probable that the date for registering those between IS and 45. will be changed to date later. Alaska and Porto Rico is also excepted from the registration, it is announced, and date some time later will be named for registration in those territories

AR|z0NA's QUOTA
 IN NEXT DRAFT 300
GREENLEE CALLED ON TO FUR NISH TWENTY TO ENTRAIN BE- TWEEN AUGUST 26 AND 30.

Provost Marshal General Crowder has called for another draft of select men to be sent to training camps by the last of August. The call is for one hundredt housand white regis trants from forty-three states. Of this number Arizona's quota is three hun dred, and Greenleeris called on to fur nish twenty white registrants for gen eral military service. In addition to this call for ,000, twenty-one states are called upon for 30,207 colored reg 22 and 2i This call brings the Aug ust draft up to 300,000.
 Following are those from states grouped with Arizona and where they will train:
 Arizona, 300, to Camp Pike, Ark, California, 2,375, to Camp Lewis, Am erican Lake, Wash; New Mexico, 1000, to Camp Pike, Ark; Texas, B. 900, to Camp Travis, Texas; Oklaho. ma, 1,500 to Camp Pike, Ark. The exemption board of Greenlee county has been called upon for twenty men, which will be drafted from the re classified list, and the Baby Regis trants. It is estimated that five or six will be called from the last registrants to make up this quota. A list has already been prepared, but as the same is subject to change, their names will not be given until next week, when the exact day of their induction into the service, and day of entraining will be given. But the call is for their entraining be. tween the dates of August 26 and 30. Owing to the fact that some of the men who will be sent out in this call have moved from Clifton, only about sixteen are expected to entrain from this place.

WEYLAND BILLS
 REACHES FRANCE
CLIFTON BOY WHO ENLISTED IN NAVY WRITES INTERESTINGLY OF MATTERS OVER THERE.

Weylnnd Bills, son of MT. and Mrs. J. W. Bills, of this city, after sill ence of such length that his parents had begun to get uneasy, especially as his last letter home stated that he was about to sail for he battle front. He enlisted in the navy about year ago, and has been in training at San Diego until this spring, when his class were sent to the east, and the early part of June embarked for French waters, sailing from New York
 Weyland writes that he has been in Ireland, England and France, while enroute, and says his experience is something to be remembered, but will keep details for relating when he re turns home.
 He states that the voyage over con stunned seventeen days, and no sub-ma' rine was sighted. One of the ghastly sights that were common was the dead bodies encountered floating on the ocean passing their ship, which was conveyed by an English and Am erican destroyer while on the trip over. The dead bodies seen floating by had their heads submerged, with feet dangling in the air.
 Speaking of the sight of human bodies on the ocean Weyland states: ''One night while off the coast of Spain was on the top deck chatting with the gun crew and watching the moonlight play upon the waves Gan in teresting experience to mel The sea was running in long swells which would almost wash the deck,a and while hanging on the rail enjoying the experience, suddenly found myself looking into the face of woman floating on the waves strapped to a life preserver."
 He states that he is well pleased with the navy. but the thought of the comforts of home are ever present and like most of the others, will be satisfied to remain in the United States as soon as the war is over. Most of the others with whom he was in training are still with him on his ship, and the other Clifton boys are getting the same valuable experience from their service in the navy.

MACHINERY READY
 F0R REGISTRATION
LOCAL BOARD INSTRUCTED TO PREPARE FOR NEW REGISTRA- TON SEPT. 9TH SET AS DAY.

Anticipating the certain passage of the new registration law which win
 be presented to the senate Monday and that at an early date Marshal
 shal General Crowder has transmitted
 to the local board instructions to get
 the registration machinery in motion
 for the law now pending before con- gress, in which it is proposed to in-
 crease thed raft age from IS to 45. years. September 5 is the day set,
 for the new registration, if the law can be passed by that time.
 Just as soon as the law is passed the President will issue his procla-
 nation calling those subject to the new law, to come to their various registration booths and register. Local boards are expected to be in readiness just as soon as the presi. dents proclamation is sent out Secretary Callicotte stated that the local board was ready to properly reg
 ister the new class just as soon as
 the final measure is put through. Instructions from the Provost Mar
 shal General are to the effect that 1t is expected that the new registration will produce one and one-half times
 as many as the 1917 registration. This will hardly apply to Arizona, at this is a young mans country, and the new registration will hardly produce
 as many available men as is anticipat- ed in Washington.
 Owing to the fact that large num- Der will be called upon to register just as soon as the measure becomes
 a law, it is probable that the local officers will need all the assistance they can get, and those periodically inclined are called upon by General Crowder to assist the local boards of the country in securing the names of
 those who will be required to register
 under this new regulation.
 The supplies and full instructions will be rushed to the various boards just as soon as the law passes. The precautions are taken in advance of the passage of the law for the reason there will not be time afterwards to
 put the necessary machinery in mo- tion. and the authorities are taking
 time by the lore lock, and not wait | ing for the deliberations of legisla-
 tion. It seems the passage of the
 law as proposed, is foregone con-
 clusion. and there is hardly doubt
 of it calling all men between the ages
 of Is and 45, will be the new regula-
 tion for registration for military ser
 vice.
 The local board will appoint regis
 trars to assist in the new registra-
 tion in few days, when the procla-
 nation is received every precinct will
 have supplies, and there will be noth-
 ing to interrupt the registration which
 is almost certain to be September 5.

ANOTHER CHAPTER
 GRAHAM MURDERS
WIDoWS OF DEAD OFFICERS SE- CURE JUDGMENT AGAINST THE POWERS BROTHERS FOR $12o,- o.oo-MINES ATTACHED.

Another chapter was written in the Powers-Sisson tragedy last week in Graham county, when the widows of the slain Graham county officers secured judgments against the Pow CTS boys for the death of their hus- bands and the famous mine in the Rattlesnake canyon was attached to secure the judgment.
 Some time ago it was reported that this mining property was to be sold to other parties, but nothing more was heard of the deal. It is said the Powers mine is one of the rich est in gold bearing ore in this sec tion of Arizona, and at the time of the, trial, whisperings were indulged in that certain interests were seek ing to secure this valuable claim. In fact, it is stated that this was one of the causes of the young Powers evading the draft, as he was lead to believe that it would require the com bined physical strength of the en- tire Powers clan to hold this proper ty. However, this is based simply on rumor. Since the conviction of John and Tom Powers, and Tom Sis son, little has been heard of the min ing claim of the Powers boys, of Rattlesnake canyon, until the legal proceedings brought by the widows of the slain officers. Judgments were rendered in their favor in the the Superior Court of Graham county last week, according to the Stafford Bulletin, which contains the follow ing.
 Monday, in the superior Court of this county, the widows of the three Graham county officers, Sheriff Mo- Bride, Undersheriff Martin Kempton, and Deputy Sheriff Kane wooten, who were killed by John and Tom Powers and Tom Sisson when they attempted to arrest the latter as draft evaders, were given judgment against the Powers boys.
 "The three widows were suing for damages as follows: Mrs. Mcbride, $50,000; Mrs. Kempton, $20,000 and Mrs. Wootan, $50,000 When suit was started, in order to attach the proper ty, it was necessary to file bond in an amount of double the amount sued for. Mrs. Kempton was the only one of the widows financially able to make the bond, and, not being able to make a bond of $100,000, she voluntarily reduced her claim to $20,000 and made bond for $40,000.
 There was no appearance on the part of the defense in court, conse- quently judgment was rendered.
 Attorneys E. L. Spriggs and Lee Stratton represented the plaintiffs.
 'Tt Is estimated that the Powers mining property in the Galiuro noun tains, the scene of the shooting, Is worth $100,000. It is said that the senior Powers, who was killed in the battle with the sheriff's force, and the two Powers boys were, some time ago, offered $100,000 for the proper ty and the only reason why the deal was not made, it is said, was be. cause the prospective buyer wohld not take the money up to their cabin in the hills and count it out in dol lars and cents.
 John and Tom Powers, the two defendants in this case, own a one fourth interest in the property. The balance of the property belongs to the estate of Jeff Powers, father of +, 1-.II r. a u

Alleged Draft Evader-

Undersheriff Turney journeyed to Globe last Monday where he went for the purpose of bringing back a young man whose name is Donald Mason. who was apprehended in the Gila county town. Mason Is alleged to have failed to register, also to have appropriated one horse, then and there the corporal personal prop erty of Arch Gilliiand of near Dun. can, and to have converted the use and benefit of the same to himself. It is understood that the case of horse theft will not be pushed, but he will be held for the Federal court. Mason is said to have given his name as Wm. Foster to the Gfla county authorities.

IRVING e. THoM DIES SUNDAY;
 APPENDICITIS OPERATION

Irving Q. Thom, who na- .ived fn Clifton for the past two years. died last Sunday morning at the A. c. hospital, after an operation for ap- pendicitis.
 He was painter by trade, and was employed with the Baker painting concern in North Clifton. Deceased came to this place from Los Angeles. where he has sister residing. As soon as he was taken i'll his sister, Miss Thom, was notified, as was also a brother in Detroit. Miss Thom arrived soon after the message reach ed her notifying her of her brothers illness, but his brother did not reach here until after his death. He was taken to the hospital about week previous to his death, but had been in poor health for nearly year.
 The operation developed the fact that the disease had made such pros- ress that he would have died soon had the operation been further de- layed, and little hopes were enter tained for his recovery, though he had a chance.
 MT. IuOm was d McIuucT Ol udn- itan Lodge, Knights of Pythias, at Los Angeles, and that order was noti- fled of his death immediately. The body was turned over to the Pascoe undertaking establishment and prepared for burial, being held there awaiting the arrival of his brother from Detroit.
 Wednesday morning, accompanied by the brother and sister, the re- mains were shipped to Los Ange- les, where they were buried by the lodge of Knights of Pythias of which he was member.
 Deceased was forty-two years of age at the time of his death.
 Local Knights of Pythias rendered to the bereaved sister all the com- fort possible, as we'll as attended to the preparation of the body for ship ment to the California city.
