CRIPPLES COPPER OUTPUT Strike Fever Ties Up Pro duction of 100,000,000 i Pounds of Metal MENACE TO WAR NEEDS WASHINGTON, July 7. Ex-Governor Hunt, of Arizona, has been appointed by Secretary Wilson to assist John McBridc, agent of the De partment of Labor, in settling the cop per strike in Arizona. BOSTON. July 7. The strike among copper miners of the country one of the most far-reachmg dis turbances In tho hlsttry of the industry hai tied up or seriously affected tho pro duction of 100,000,000 pounds of copper monthly. If long ma ntalned. It will have disastrous esults at a time wheh the metal will be urgently needed for war muni tion. Complete suspension of production has taken place In the Morencl-Cllfton-Qlobe districts of Arizona, while curtailment In the Ulsbee camp of the same State has cut down output mure than fifty per cent The btrlke had Its Inception In the Jerome camp of Arizona, where It restricted pro duction at the United Verde and United Verde Extension properties. It has since spread to the Kennecott mine of Alaska, almost paralyzed operations in Butte and has worked its way around to the South west again, where It has also shut up tight the Shattuck-Arizona mine.

The Phelps-Dodge property In the Clifton camp has shut down. However. The Greene shut-down was the result of Mexican troubles.

EVENING LEDaER-PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1917 METHOD OF DRAFT NOW BEFORE BAKER Plans Provide. for Drawing Slips, Inclosed in Capsules, From Glass Globe OPEN TO PUBLIC SCRUTINY WASHINGTON. July 7 Tho fate of the 9,649.938 men on the na tional army registration rolls will be held In a huge glass bowl filled with little gelatin capsules. Th numbers on paper squares In each of these capsules will designate the men drafted for America's armies. The final plan of the unique method of singling out the men for the first levy Is before Secretary Baker today. 1'nlcs a shift is made In present arrange ments this Is the method of the draft lot tery, I Squares of paper numbered serially will be placed In gelatine capsules. Thcso will be thrown Into a big transparent globe. On the day of the draft, capsules will be drawn at random from tho globe. Each slip Indicates for draft every man bearing that number In each of the more than 4000 counties and cities In the nation. The slips arc numbered from one up as high as the number of men registered In the largest precinct In the country. President Wilson's advisory board has settled upon this method as the fairest that human Ingenuity can devise. Every action Is open to the public scrutiny. DRAWING IN PUBLIC The drawing will probably be held In somo larga room In the War Department. A committee of prominent men will be ap pointed to act as official witnesses, testify ing to the Impartiality of the lottery. In tho provost marshal general's office today, clerks were busy numbering tho half-Inch slips that will choose the draft army. As soon as the last local precinct has completed Its organization and affixed the red Ink serial numbers to the registration cards, the draft lottery will take place In Washington. Although General Crotvder urged eery board to complete this labor by today, of ficials assert that the draft may be de layed through next week by resignations from the local boards. President Wilson himself has glen con sideration to th various plans for the draft lottery. It has not yet been fully decided whether the first drawing should cover only enough men for the first levy or the entire 9,649, 93S registered. In the latter case the num bers of every man registered will bo listed in the order drawn and this list will stand for future levies, the second draft to be gin at the serial number in each district where the first draft ended Twenty men selected by Provost Marshal General Crowder will do the actual draw ing of the numbers from the glass globe. MUST WATCH FOB NEWS America's men of draft age will be re sponsible for ascertaining whether or not they are drawn In the big human lottery. Hence the War Department today asked that In the next few weeks they be on the alert, follow the newspaper announcements of the draft requirements, and when In doubt ask their local exemption boards. The provost marshal general is preparing a boiled-down announcement of draft re quirements. In simple English, so that there can be no mistaking the duty of the 9,600,000 registrants. In brief, this la what each registrant Is required to do: Go to your exemption board and And ont what your red Ink aerial number la at teon a your board haa finished num bering the cards for the big human lot tery. Wateh for the drawing In Washlnfton. Then find out whether you were drawn and the order In which you must appear. After that learn when you must appear for physical examination. In rase of doobt as to any point ask your local board'about It. these are the first steps the registrant must watch, but there will be others, and as every man la taxed with the responsibility of knowing requirements It behooves the youth of America to keep close tabs on newspapers from now on. The first set of Instructions will be given officially to the press In the next few days. TaaaHaM DOLLAR EXCURSIONS EVERY DAY 7:00 A.

But the Germans could not quite tear and crush and beat the life out of Chauny. The town breathes despite Its wounds feebly, but still hopefully. Chauny Is like a lone trav eler on i dark road, waylaid and clubbed und robbed and left to die. Another trav eler may pass that way and may not be In too great a hurry or too much concerned with his own affairs to stop and give aid Then Chauny may live. But the traveler may be In haste or Indifferent. Some trac!ers are Even so, Chauny may live, but It Is doubtful. Chauny needs to be adopted. The traveler beset by thlees could be tent to his home after his wounds were bound, but Chauny has no home to be sent to Chauny was homo Itself before the Germans came now It Is little but a name and some thousands of women nnd girls nnd boys and old men. No; one cannot play good Samaritan to Chauny by bandaging its cuts and giving It a little food and drink and sending It on Its way. Chauny must be adopted. Chauny needs a city to say. reaching down with two strong arms nnd lifting It to Its feef "Well, little fellow, they pretty nearly finished you, didn't they? Good thing I happened along here when I did. Lucky, Isn't It? Still, that's tho way things will happen. You don't need to worry now. though I'll take care of you. Don't worry about anything Just leave It all to mc. Say, you're In awful shape but It's all right I'm good and strong It may take as much as n year maybe more maybe three years what do I care? to get you ns good as new ; but I guess I can do It. Yes, I reckon I can." That's what Chauny needs. Chauny needs to lie adopted by some big, strong American city some American city with a heart just as big nnd Just as strong Philadelphia could do It, Chauny Is willing CHAUNYS DAYS OF HAPPINESS Chauny is one of the 213 towns and vil lages iln the Department of the Alsne In France that felt the German steel. Before the autumn of 1914 how long ago that seems: Chauny was a prosperous little city of some 10,000 or 12.000 souls. It was as pretty and happy nnd good a city as you would care to find In France or Pennsylva nln. It wasn't ono of those perfect cities that ono sometimes finds In story books, but It was -Just as near perfect as one ever finds outside of books. The people were honest and decent for the most part, and they had their churches and schools and theatres and stores and market places. Not very many of the people were rich, but none of them was poor There were places In the glass factories for nil who wlsned to work Chauny was the center of the famous St Gobaln glass Industry and nearly all of the men and some of the girls and children worked. Nobody was spiteful or mean or jealous, you might say. Of course, once In a while two men loved tho same girl, and once In a while somebody drank more than he should, and once In a while somebody cheated some one else. Those things will happen everywhere. But Chauny waa a town that any decent man would be glad to call home. THEN THE GEBMAN DEBACLE Then came the German hordes, sweeping tho French soldiery before them. The French fought bravely as long as they could Most of those that fought will not fight again. The others fled because their commanders ordered them to ; ana command- Ready Money- United States Loan Society 117 North Broad St. 414 H. Sth at.

So the Germans stepped In Chauny nnd the rest of the Milages nnd saw what they wanted and took It. They occupied the homes of the men and ouths that were In the army or had gone to death In the nrmy. They took the stores of food and the money that had been Based for rainy days. They took everything. The women and the children and the girls they let live there to work for them When tho French army enmc 'back the Germans retroated. but before they went they tore Chauny to pieces. The houses nnd stores and churches were torn down. The gardenH nnd the little ncre.-tges were laid waste. Nothing was Jeft : nothing but the name of Chauny. with the women nnd chil dren and old men. Tho fate of Chauny was the fate of Sols sons and tho fate of Noon, the fate of Maucourt. Washington has adopted Noyon. The Countess de Chabanres la Pnlllce has adopted Maucourt Detroit has been asked to adopt Solssons Chauny waits to be adopted. Perhaps some American city will adopt It. Who knpws? Perhaps It will be Philadelphia The city that adopts Chauny must rebuild Its houses and Its stores nnd feed Its peo ple a while until Its gardens grow again. It must provide tools for the people to work with, that they may earn their living again Even then they will hnve to work hard for yeara to replenish their little stores that were taken by tho Germans Adopting Chauny won't be a cheap or simple task. It Is so big that only a city like Philadelphia or New York or Chicago or Boston can do it Maybe It will be New York or Boston Maybe It will be Philadelphia. The Evenino Ledoeii has suggested to Julef Jusserand, the French Ambassador to the United States, that he name a French town or city that Philadelphia could adopt The French Ambassador was grateful and said he would name such a city or town. Here Is M Jusserand's letter: AMBASSADE DE FRANCE A WASHINGTON . July S, 1917. Dear Sir It Is most kind of tho City of Independence to hae formed such a plan, and I shall be delighted to suggest a name. I do not like, however, to act at ran dom to risk recommending one of the same cities already provided for or giving advice In any way unsatisfactory I must ask that a delay of some days be accorded me to make the necessary Inquiries. Believe me. with sincerest thanks, Very truly yours, JUSSERAND M Jusserand probably will name Chauny.
