RUMoRs OF PEACE

Talk OF peace is again revived In
Europe and it is reported that Germany
is willing to call the war a draw. No
doubt Germany for some time has been
prepared to make peace on terms that
the Allies could not or would not ac-
cept. But the latest peace "feelers"
put out by Germany modify her pro-
posals. At the same time it is stated
that the Allies will make concessions.
If these reports be true it is possible
that negotiations will soon begin look
ing to the termination Of the war. The
enormous debts being piled up by the
struggling nations have made their
leaders think seriously of how long the
titanic struggle is to continue, how long
it will be before Europe is complete
wreck.
Along with these reports is the inter
esting statement that the Allies are no
longer determined that Germany shall
be crushed" England and France are,
it is said, ready to talk peace when the
German people ss'have been made to
realize that the German policy of mill
tary aggression is wrong and that it is
proftless."
The German people at this time must
be convinced that their policy Of mill
tary aggression is wrong and that it is
proftless The tremendous losses in
life and wealth which the German peo-
pie have suffered should convince them,
unless they are blind to reason, that
they have paid a very high price for
what they have accomplished by their
military aggression, and that in the end
it will be utterly proitless, because they
cannot hope for a complete triumph
over their enemies.
So many rumors concerning peace
have been put out, rumors that proved
to be without serious foundation, that
this latest story will be received with
caution, but if true it would indicate
that reason is beginning to flash
through the minds Of the controlling
forces of Europe.

eral notified the commissioned Off
GERS Of Companies A and B, stationed
at Phoenix, that they had been placed
on the unassigned list" because of
their failure to recruit to war
strength Capt. Gulley protested that
he had secured the promises of so
men, who were to appear at the ar
mory that night and sign enlistment
papers. The order was not with
drawn, however.
Company A was officered by Capt
Gulley, First Lieut.. c. A. Shamhart,
and Second Lieut.. B. A. Wilson. The
officers of Company B were Capt. E..
j. Helseley, First Lieut.. Harold Briggs
and Second Lieut. Harold Hess.
Capt. J. E Noble, of Company D,
stationed at Mesa, has been notified
that unless he recruits his command
to war strength within 20 days he
and his lieutenants will be placed on
the unassigned list. 1t is understood
that an order placing the officers of
Company G, at Tempe, upon that list,
is in course of preparation.
All the officers affected by these
unassigned list" orders have been
outspoken in their criticism of the
conduct of the Clifton camp.
The unassigned list is something
new in military circles. No mention
of any such list is made in the state
militia code. The unassigned Off
GERS however, are relieved of their
commands as effectively as though
they had been removed for legal cause
or had been resigned.
Just before issuing his first "uri-
assigned list" order the adjutant gem
eral told the officers of the three
Phoenix companies that they were to
receive no more instructions from the
pector-instructor Capt Stacy had
been appearing at the armory each
drill night and sometimes taking per-
sonal charge of the drills.

State Mine Inspector G. H. Bolin,
which has just been made public Only
49 fatal accidents were reported in

68 the previous year. The number

remove him, though the guard be
wrecked.
Now it appears that the guard will
be deprived of federal support, amount
ing to approximately $4,000 a year,
unless Harris is removed. There is
also every indication that Gov. Hunt
will see the guard pass out Of existence
rather than remove Harris. He is
quoted as having said THAT If TT
CAME TO A SHOWDOWN, THE
GUARD WOULD GET ALONG
WITHOUT FEDERAL SUPPORT!
In other words, at time when an
efficient national guard is needed as
perhaps never before in the history of
Arizona, the chief executive is prepar-
ing to throw it into the discard, to re-
tain political appointee. For if the
Hay bill becomes a law, no state can
maintain any armed force other than
the federalized guard provided in that
measure. It is narrowing down to a
question Of Harris or the guard. And
if it comes to that, will the governor,
in the face of the present grave situa-
tion, dare to choose Harris?
The Arizona copper camp., 1916-03-31
THE SHAME OF THE GUARD

Just when it seems likely that the
United States will need all the men
that can be secured for military serv-
ice, citizens of Arizona have awakened
to the fact that the national guard Of
this state is almost totally unprepared.
Instead of being ready for the call to
service, which may come at any min
ute, the guard is depleted in numbers,
demoralized as to organization, and
lacking in equipment and officers. At
tention has been directed to this con-
dition by the recent dismissal of six
commissioned officers of Companies A
and B of Phoenix, and the announce
ment by Adjt. Gen. Harris that he in
tends to muster out the entire first bat
talon and "reorganize." In other
words in the face of grave interna-
tional situation, when the national
guard of Arizona, border state, is
most likely to be called out either for
service abroad or protection at home,
we hear that it is in no condition what
ever to do its duty
The blame for this deplorable condi-
ton of the guard-only three compa
MES are said to have passed the federal
inspection just ended-is laid by guard
officers and by high officials of the war
department. on Adjt Gen. Harris, chief
of staff, and the man directly response
bic for the organization They declare
he is incompetent, inefficient, and what
is worse, that he is playing politics with
the guard. They point out that if the
Hay bill becomes law, as there is
every indication that it will, Harris
will have a large amount Of patronage
to distribute to the supporters Of Gov
Hunt. Captains are to be paid salary
of $500 a year, and privates paid for
attendance on drill. The fact that the
adjutant general may assume the power
to remove any guard officer by placing
his name on the unassigned list" GER
tainly places a powerful weapon in the
hands of one man, which may be used
to further political or other ends
For years the war department has
been urging Gov. Hunt to remove Har-
ris, but the governor has turned deaf
ear to these requests. In July, 1914,
Secretary Garrison wrote Gov. Hunt
that the adjutant general of Arizona
was totally inefficient from federal
standpoint, and that the guard would
remain in its deplorable condition as
long as Harris was in charge. He init
mated that the remedy for this condi-
tion might suggest itself to his excel
lency's mind. If it did, nobody ever
knew it. Again, Acting Secretary
Breckenridge wrote the governor last
December that Harris had always
maintained an attitude of "poorly-
yelled hostility" toward the war de-
partment and urged his removal for the
sake of the organization. Did the gov
ernor act on these suggestions from
men high in the military affairs Of the
nation? Of course not. Harris, man
who had had almost no training for the.
post of adjutant general, was one Of his
appointees, and he could not bear to

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 3O.-Under-

sition that an underwriting associa-

before they can do business. The

from a trip to the southern part of
the state. Instead he will retire from
politics and re-enter the mercantile
business in Cochise county. Aversion
to the third term idea, in which he
does not believe, it is said, led to his
decision not to run again. While
Jesse Boyce, secretary of the tax
commission is the only candidate for
the office now in the field, it is con-
sidered probable that j. B. Ormond,
who has been deputy auditor under
