"The People be Damned"

When the above expression comes to
represent the sentiment Of any public
official, from president Of the nation
down to member Of district school
board, then it is high time that that
public official was either resigning or
being removed from his Office. ITO

equately and completely express the
personal spleen Of one who has DELHI
erately taken q course he had every

nor desire to serve the public interest.
Probably the local community has not
consistently and continuously taken the
interest it should in the conduct Of its
only public enterprise: its school sys-

GEN. HA|G SENDS
 0UT MORE REPORTS
[Republlcan A. p. Leased wlrel

LONDON, Nov. I'm a further re- view of the operations on the British front in France and Belgium dated to- day. General Sir Douglas Haig, the British commander, reports:
 Since my hast review, October 19, the weather has been unfavorable to extended operations Such conditions hamper military operations seriously, but during the past fortnight we have made progress and advanced our front towards Butte de Warlencourt. in the neighborhood of Gueudecourt and Les Boeufs.
 From October 20 to 23 weather was dry and fine We took advantage of this change to deliver between Schwa ben redoubt and Le Sars, very sue cossful local attack.

From it trenches called Stuff and Regina run due east some 5000 yards to point about 1900 yards northeast of Courcelette.
 The enemy defended these trenches with tenacity. A captured German regimental order dated october 20. emphasized the necessity of regaining Schwaben redOubt, which is the pivot of the position. The order says. The men are to be informed that this attack Is not merely a matter of retaking the former German trench. but of the re- capture of the extremely important point involved
 Since his loss of the main portion of SchWaben redoubt the enemy de- livered eleven counter attacks on our front in that neighborhOod. In every case he was repulsed.
 Early in the morning of the 2lst he attacked Schwaben redoubt as already reported. We replied by an attack de- livered against the whole length of Re gina redoubt and pushed our advance posts well to the north and northeast of Schwaben redoubt taking in the course of the operations nearly HOO prisoners.

GIRL FROM J. $. 4. FAILS ID PLEASE
 OR T0 EVEN AMUSE
By Sally Jacobs

The manager of the Orpheum theater of Flagstaff, unsolicited. wired the Phoenix Amusement Company that The Girl from the U. $. A." was a worth while show. He admitted in his telegram that he had been stung twice this season but that when a good show came the management should know it. It is the one redeeming thing about last nights performance that the Elks management did not know what 1t had booked.
 The manager of the. fOrpheum be longs to the most jealous profession in the world and we wuuid rather believe that he was moved by the spirit of re- venge or the remembrance of the fact that he had been twice stung and wanted to see the other fellow get it. than to believe that Flagstaff audi ence would and could sit through the mixture of melodrama and mad ness that was presented at the Elks last night
 There was faint applause in the back of the house after the first act and after that a cold polteness tenn pered with an occasional giggle. Sen ator Mark A. Smith was the guest of honor at box party and not few cast amused glances at his hosts who chanced to be clever enough 10 take the whole thing with good grace.
 A particularly poor play gives an audience a certain amount of pleasure in the pardOnable pride it takes that it does not have to tolerate that sort of thing. But the three acts given last evening were SO wholly bad that even this small concession was denied
 The first act was laid in Japan. IL was a barren Japan without d solitary cherry blossom and a Japan without pidgen English. but that forgotten de- tail came to one of the principals later in the evening and she attempted to cover her former mistake.
 The "meller -drammer" was-well nothing like IL has been seen or heard since the days of the old Park theater and 1t is q libel on the actors of those days to make the comparison. The cos tunes however were surely handed down from that particular time
 There were pretty and popular songs cruelty treated. There was not a voice in the company and treatment received by Simple Melody and Yaaka Hula would not let us remain for Mothers Rosary and Dixie Land.
 There was q chorus d chorus of five A neighbor with a program declared : that the center young woman was shadow boxing whatever that is Ger I tainly the chorus was distinctive foi there's not another girl like any oi those five in the whole L. S. 4.

in our politics they have ceased to be rational beings.
 We have got the impression that some Americans want to use America for her own destiny and that some want to use it in order to promote the particular interests of some group of foreign nations.
