Allies Make Progress

The Allied armies are reported to have made considerable gains all along the Western battle front. They are reported to have met with a decisive check at but few points. This is thot by many to be the beginning of the general offensive advance of the allies which has been planned by General Jeoffre for some time, and has been postponed for a time when the Germans would have exhausted themselves with attempting to break thru the Allies solid line.
 During the first two months the Panama Canal was open it collect ed tolls amounting to three-quart- CTS of a million dollars. Nearly all of the money has come from Amer jean vessels. It goes to help pay the cost of operating and maintain ing the canal, and decreases the financial burden of the nation.
 It is paid willingly by the vessel owners, because they find that the saving in expense far exceeds the toll charges. And to think that we nearly missed repeating that free tolls law!

 Miss Peet trains child ren.

Following a custom which has come down to us through the centuries and is observed in near ly all the larger cities of our country, Williams is to hear the good old Christmas carols sung under a municipal Christmas tree.
 MT. Dermont, President of the Lumber Company and MT. Greene, our Forest Supervisor have arranged for a large tree to be placed in the center of town just in front of the band stand.
 MT. E. A. Adams has offered to wire the tree and MT. Slower, manager of the Electric Company has offered the lights'and current.
 Mrs. Rittenhouse has consented to direct the chorus and the members of the choirs of the three churches as well as any Ywho can sing even a little bit are requested to meet at the Parish House Wednesday evening of this week for practice. The school children under the direc- ..5n of Miss Peet W0ssng the carols which they have learned inschool. The Boys Band under the direction of MT. Barnes will assist in the program.
 To all of these whom we have mentioned the town is indebted for an effort to promote the true Christmas spirit of joy and good will.
 Below we give two of the time honored carols which will be sung. In the next issue of the paper will be given the words of others. We suggest that these be clipped from the. paper and the words committed to memory so that we may be able to sing them on Christmas, in the spirit of our hearts and lives if we may not be able to add to the melody of other voices.

PROHIBITION AMEND.
 MENT IN COURT
Three Suits Filed in Phoe- nix and One in Tucson to Test Validity

With tEe filing of the three com- plaints in the federal court late yesterday afternoon the opening gun was fired in the fight against the statewide prohibition amend ment adopted at the November election.
 The plaintiffs in the three cases are the Adams Hotel Co.,, The Owl Drug and Candy Co.,, of Prescott and Me'czer Brothers the whole sale liquor dealers.
 Attorney General Wiley E. Jones and all the county attorneys and sheriffs are named as defendants. The amendment is attacked on the grounds that it is in contravention to the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution, and that it is not self-executing. A temporary restraining order is the first step sought by the plain tiffs to prevent the amendment be- coming effective Jan. l. After the restraining order an interlocutory injunction is desired. The plain tiffs desire that the latter be made perpetual and that the amendment be declared null and void.
 In the complaints it is alleged that it would be impossible to dis. pose of the stock on hand before Jan. 1. It is alleged that the stock of the retail dealers in the state amounts to $500, GOO.
 I Several of the states most pronii~ nent lawyers have been engaged on each side to take part in the battle.
 The attorneys for the liquor dealers are former Attorney Ger.er- al G. A. .Bullard, Thomas Arm strong, Jr., Ernest w. Lewis and former Gov. R. E. Sloan.
 The attorneys for the druggists are Reese M. 1fng of Phoenix and Richard LAmsoh and LeRoy And erson of Prescott. It is understood that the drys have retained John H. Campbell, former associate justice of the supreme court of Arizona and United States Judge at Tucson: Samuel L. Kingan of Tucson, George F. RinehArt and Eugene w. Chain. George J. Stoneman and Judge A. c. Baker have been engaged also in the de- fense to assist Wiley E. Jones.
 According to advice from Tucson the Catholic complaint against the amendment will be filed in that city by father Thomas Connolly pastor of the All Saints Catholic church at Tucson. The Catholics will question the constitutionality of the law on the ground that the use of wine in the sacrament can- not be denied. J., B. Wright and Eugene s. Ives will represent them. i Under the federal law, where an interlocutory decree is asked, three judges, one of whom is a judge of the circuit court of appeals, must sit. This will mean that the ap- plication for the injunction will be heard in Los Angeles before Judge Morrow of the circuit court of ap- peals. Judge Sawtelle and another judge to be invited by the latter to assist.
 If the plaintiffs should win, Ari- zona will have direct interest in the fate of the Webb-Kenyon bill, the constitutionality of which has been questioned. The case is now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States. This law pro- hibits the shipment of alcoholic liquors into dry territory. If it is declared constitutional the rail- roads will refuse to handle liquor shipments. If it is not, the pro hibition of the Arizona law against shipment of liquor into the state will be invalid.
