of giving aid and comfort to the enemy by the an nouncement yesterday morning of the death Of Sir Edward Grey, which must have been news Of the gratifying character to the Germans and their sympathzers He is the one of all Englishmen, most particularly and cordially "strafed" As the director for many years foreign policies of Great Britain he threw more obstacles in the way of German ex- pansion and German aims than any other living man. It was the shadow of Sir Edward that fell more dar1ly upon Germany's place in the sun.
 The Republican led into accentuating the death this distinguished statesman by printing his picture form of tribute adopted by newspapers generally to those who do something anything out of the ordinary. To die, of course, is common and ordinary, but it is feat which no man has accom- plshed more than in the course of his career, no matter how long it may have lasted Therefore, death seemed out of the ordinary for Sir Edward It seemed proper render him this mark of distinction
 But The Republican imposed upon, we can say by any particular agency, but by circum- stances chief of which is the great frequency of the name of Grey in English political history Sir Edward is yet undeservng of the mortuary tribute which we have been betrayed into offering him. He is not dead.
 We make this announcement for the abate of German glee excited by the story of his de- mise and raise allies and their friends from sorrow and abasement Sir Edward survives and may he in the flesh witness the end of the The states man who is dead Albert Henry George fourth Earl Grey former governor general of Canada, and who had much to do with the British colonial policy but little with the foreign policy of the empire
 With these few remarks restore the picture of Edward its place in the 'morgue" with the fer vent hope that many years will eapse before it is withdrawn to illustrate and embellish story of his death.

a request that Colonel Byrens be given a place on the speaking program
 This appointment is in line with the activities of Colonel Byrens, who for the past two years has declared that Phoenix shall have population Of 100000 by 1922, and he expects to con- tribute very largely to such an in crease He already has brought scores of residents and business men to this city and he believes that he will have an opportunity at Peoria to lay the advantages of Phoenix and the Salt River valley before many thousands of people who have money and who want more pleasant homes and a place of wider opportunities.
 He will speak especially of the cot ton industry in this valley and of the state as the greatest copper producing region of the world, the origin of more than one-third of all the copper pro- duced in the United States last year These facts, he believes, can be laid before that assemblage in such shape that they cannot be resisted.
 Colonel Byrens recently has returned from the coast, where he spent the greater part of the summer. He was one of the principal speakers at the Hassayampa picnic and for half ar hour he talked Arizona and nothing but Arizona.

"GIRLS LEFT BEHIND" BY GERMANS ARE

Souvenir hunting in abandoned German dugouts favore occupation of the entente soldiers on the front when time permits-is not safe pastime it at first. The willy Huns have resored all kinds of tricks to make the visit almost as dangerous to the intruder when they still mained there, vividly told by Lewis R. Freeman in illustrated article in the September Popular Mechanics Magazine of which the following is sample
 Something of the direction his dhe German's) latest effort has taken revealed by a Tommy who exhibiting of the treasures he had gathered in cleaning up recently occupied German dugout. One of these carefully preserved between the leaves of magazine the photograph of what evidently German girl punctured with not less than dozen bullet holes.
 Did you take it from German soldier?" asked.
 No, sir" the relp, "only from the wall of a dugout"
 But how did she come to get so shot to pieces?" I asked adding banterngly "I have heard that the British soldier makes women.'
 But this 'Un ydy maxim us sir" he answered with grin; "or leastways of Ter friends three four dugouts down the line tried to strafe us and we had orders to strafe back
 Then he went to explain that the Tommes had always vied with each other in collecting photo graphs from the walls of the captured dugouts souvenirs, circumstance which the Germans who appeared to have got wind of it in way, endeav ored to take advantage of by running wire from the back of of these mural decorations mines concealed beneath the floor. The Tommies had al- ready learned to avoid stepping the loose ends of boards and to refrain from rocking "toroises" and picking up inconsequential odds and ends from the floor; but the mined" photograph something new, and before the discovered several cleaning up' parties made to pay rather heav- fly for the desire of certain of their members add another " 'Un frawline" their picture galleries Photo collecting languished for little time after the designing" nature of of these abandoned, Gretchens and Hildas had been disclosed, and it is still the custom to give picture with suspicious bulge behind tiff there is to do it in safety-a few propitiatory shots before seeking closer &C., quaintance.

The District Board

The district exemption board is strictly carrying out it's instructions for the administration the se- lectve draft law and is living up the spirit of the law as the board has gathered it from it's language and the interpretations which have been given the language The board is most rigidly denying claims for exemption when it appears that those claims not we'll founded matter by whom they are pre- sented and backed by, what personal or political influence. All the decisions of the board have so far been unanimous
 The board has proceeded in disposing of claims for exemption industrial agricultural grounds the theory that comparatively few cases in which the place of the applicant exemption on either of these grounds be filled by one whose prevents him from being drafted into the military service. The board and does not take into account the inconvenience applicant of going to There is less inconvenience to all who go Thero be line drawn through inconveniences so that one side may be taken and the other side left.
 4 great industrial agricultural enterprise may suffer loss when important attache is taken away. substitute always be found. If he is not quite efficient that is of the myriad in finite misfortunes the war.
 In the matter of exemptions the grounds of dependency. that claim intended by the law to be made only by the poor by we'll to-do And that IS the way the board is strictly sdering such claims. The board is not depending upon affidavits They are of course given due con- sideration. but personal information is sought out by the board It is collecting information regarding family relations of the intimate character and consequently is unearthing lot of fraud applica- tons and affdavts in support ofythem.
 The board will probably make some mistakes it may send some to who ought to be left at home and it may reject who ought to be ac- cepted. It would be strange if such errors are not made. It would be a contradiction of the accepted statement, ITO is human"
 In it's rigid application of the law in its letter and spirit and in it's firm stand against personal and political influence the board mind justice to the drafted and the effect of it's. decisions upon public sentiment in the community. The war is not popular war. No war is popular But if it should appear that any in this community has been saved by his position, by personal political influence from military service that would tend to make the hateful The effect of such fav- oritism would be manifest in the entire contingent from this community It would be disastrous upon at home.
 That would manifest itself here when subscriptions are wanted for the next Liberty Loan and when the next drive is made for Red Cross funds. The re- pleased to observe that it is being well sustained.

We hope the whole county will out to witness the departure on the evening of September of the first contingent of drafted for the mobilization camp It will be serious occasion we do think yet that there realization of it's seriousness We hope, and it would be futile and foolish express hope that all the boys who go from Ari- to the will return. Some of them will be seen the last time
 They going such errand men were never sent on from any place in America. They are going fight not merely nation but coun- try. It has been said of soldiers the civil war that they laid down their lives their country. That in a sense only. They fought to save form of government, for idea. Some Americans believe the country should be divided each state or division should adopt such laws customs as would better insure the happiness and prosperity of it's people Others believed that survival depended upon the integrity of the nation. There desire by either side to destroy the country by either prey upon the other.
 This is for existence. If it does not go we'll for America the end of will beginning of the downfall of America, its institutions the Ameri- manner of living If Germany should win, and though that hardly seems possible yet is possible it would be the beginning of the imposition of the Ger will upon the whole world. The movement could not. it is true be accomplished immediately perhaps not within generation, but it would proceed inex- orably until it had been accomplished defeated years hence. after a supreme struggle.
 But would begin to feel the effect of the process immediately. Our of living would change. Our purpose would become military. Every other activity by which have become happy and prosperous would be subordinated We would enter of preparation for the supreme soil
 This is the errand on which these boys will set out on September 5. Surely their going is worthy of all the honor give to that occasion.
