Comparison between the gross and
net quotas shows what any State has
done in furnishing troops by the voluntary
system. Striking examples
from the top and bottom of the list
| are Oregon and Arizona. Oregon's
gross quota was 7,737 men, but the
[ State has 4,683 National Guardsmen
| and has given 1,974 war recruits to
j the regular army. In all Oregon had
i credit for 6,657 volunteers to apply
j against aer gross quota, which has
hor n&t 'nnnta to 717 mArt
uw uvto vj-v ? .
Arizona, on the other hand, with a
i gross quota of 4,478 men, has only
j 727 in the National Guard and has
! recruited only 171 men since April
i 1 for the regulars, making the State's
net quota after adjustment 3,472.
Preparations for the great drawing
went ahead steadily today. Of the
' ~~r\ nanara
"i\y UiOti v
of 3,500 have now reached Washington
and hundreds more may be in the

by the writer and very ably dis-i

society has done more for the colored

They were orphans and that flag had
meant the care of a father who bad

that could and would shield them from I

could be paid to any nation or flag,
