What Would

Here is what would happen if the
United States went to war:
1.-The first consideration, of
course, would be men and ma
chimes.
LARGE ARMY
The Army mechanization, naval
improvements and air additions are
already under way. Congress is
about to authorize standing army
Of 280, 900. To that would be added
100000 of the National Guard for
500, 0,000-man army.
opinion on how many voluntary
emergency enlistments above that
number could be had, some of the
general staff officers believe they
could have 500, 900 volunteers as fast
as they could be handled. For any
army strength above 10000 men,
therefore, the selective draft would
have to be applied, if not before.
DRAFT SETUP
Draft legislation and machinery
for its adn1inistrat ton has been set
up In the War Department since
1886. Many officers there believe
that it would be better to have Sc
lective service Immediately instead
of depending upon volunteers.

v-i' l1avc full control OF the draft
i. its assigned area.
When the plan goes into effect,
every man of certain age group
registers at his precinct, filling out
necessary cards. These cards then
are collected by the district board,
shuffled and numbered. The draf-
tees then are classified as to type on
the basis of examinations conducted
by army officials.
When the draftees are called,
they receive orders to proceed to a
given training center, receiving free
transportation and other accomoda-
tions Arizona draftees probably will
be sent to Fort Sam Houston In
Texas, General Tuthill said.
Persons who claim exemption from
the draft may appeal to their local
or state draft boards.
Few appeals will be heard by
Washington.

Body Of Miner
Recovered At
HardsheU Mine

Badly decomposed and minus the
head and one leg, the body of Viii
liam George, 40, who fell to his
death in the Hardshell mine on
March 18th, was recovered Wednes-
day.
The body was brought to the sur
face after the American Smelling
& Refining Company had pumped
water from the old abandoned mine
day and night the past month.
Identification of the body was
established by Ex-Officio Coroner
Cyril L. Forsyth through a number
on an electric light battery that
George had carried.
The Trench mine has been shut
down for month because it took
all the electric energy generated at
the Trench to run the pumps in re-
moving" water from the Hardshell.
There is possibility that since
the water has been taken out of the
Hardshen it may again be worked.
