Prussians Cruelty Belgian
Child, Says American Writer

to the side of the shed was a little
girl of about years still breath

There was a swish as the Belgian
mother fell heavily to the ground.
Ma p'tite. ma pauvre p'tite," she
muttered (my little one, my poor little
one.)
Although almost overcome by the
picture of Internal brutality, Miss
de Vine ran to the shed and tore
wildly with her hands at the long nails
which held the little girl TO the boards.
The mother, returning to her senses.
brought a large stone from the road
with which, after tearing their hands
badly, they managed to pry the child
loose,
The poor mother" said Miss de
Vine with tears in her eyes as she
told this part of the story, held the
child to her bosom like an animal,

THE GROWTH OF ARIZONA

The State of Arizona is growing in many respects. A state can be judg ed by it's schools and especially by it's state University. A state should be proud of it's universities for through them the state reaches out and be- comes associated with the younger generation. A state institution like the University of Arizona is a credit to the state which gives it life. Dur ing the short time the institution has had at its head Dr. Won KleinSmid, the institution has grown remarkably, and now is regarded throughout the country as one of the leading univer sities of the Southwest.
 This growth has been remarka ble in many ways and during the past year the University of Arizona has | formed relations with other institu- tions that will last as long as the University stands. In 1916 the Kappa
 Sigma fraternity, having chapters in
 many colleges and which. is recogniz- ed as one of the leading fraternities
 in the United States, blazed the trail
 so to speak, and granted charter to
 the Arizona institution. It was not
 long afterward until the Sigma Alpha
 Epsilon fraternity granted a charter to Arizona and last week the third
 national organization entered the Ari- zona field when the Gamma Delta So- rority was granted a national chapter by the Pi Beta Phi. And on the heels
 of this installation comes word that
 the Gamma Phi Sigma Sorority will go nationaP' early in the school year
 Truly the university is growing and nothing shows it quite so we'll as does the way the national fraternities and ) sororities are entering the field.
 It is probable that the importance of such an event as took place in Tue , son last week is not recognized by the
 citizens of this state who have moi
 had the opportunity of going to col lege, but the importance of the event , is fully realized by the institutions o , higher learning and by all college graduates and students Yuma Sun

HONOR SYSTEM ABOLISHED

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 12-The honor system at the Arizona state prison inaugurated by former Cover nor Geo. W. P. Hunt was abolished today. Trustworthy prisoners, here after would be required to serve their full time within the prison walls, un- less action is taken by the board of pardons and paroles.
 The abolishment of the honor sys- tenn comes as a result of communi- cation from Attorney General Wiley E. Jones addressed to Superintendent Anderson of the prison in which the former stated that honor prisoners were enjoying freedom illegally and that action must be taken immediate ly to return the same. Unless you follow these instructions, I can ana will start mandamus proceedings to return these men,"
 On being notified of the attorney generals act, Governor Thomas E. Campbell gave instructions to call in all honor prisoners, many of whom had enjoyed comparative freedom for

been of a friendly nature," declared whatsoever of what was coming, and it was as great a surprise to me as to anyone.
 The statement attributed to Gov ernor Campbell,in which it is claimed that there will be no need for such an officer after August 8, is erroneous" added Harris, because this office is directly in charge of military train ing in the high schools and other insti tutions of learning in this state. An adjutant general will be necessary to carry on this work
 Attorney General Wiley E. Jones refused to make any statement re- garding the controversy other than to say that his opinion in the matter had not been sought.
 That he is resting easy in his office of adjutant general regardless of the demand of the governor for his resignation, was the statement of
 
 Colonel Harris, as with the statutes of Arizona in one hand he read the laws which he insisted made his of flee impregnable as far as the gover- nor was concerned.
 The governor not having the pow CT of appointing me to this office, has not the power to discharge me-" de- clared Colonel Harris. "The statute says the governor shall appoint the adjutant general upon the recon. mendation of the general staff. and a majority of the officers of the nation al guard, including majority of the members of the general staff, shortly after the last election, requested the governor that he make no attempt to make a change in the office of adju- tant general added Col. Harris.

NO IMMUNITY FOR MARRIED
 MEN IF WIFE SUPPORTS SELF

Washington, Aug. 12-Exemption boards have been instructed to deny immunity to married registrants in cases where parents or other relatives of the wife volunteer to assume her support during his absence
 Governors of various states today received notice from General Crowder that the first one-third of 6S7,OO0 men drafted for service in the national ar my would be called to the colors Sep tember first and sent to training can tonments before September five. The governors were urged to make certain that the first quota would be ready on time.

GERMAN SPY GETS PLANS

TUCSON, Aug. 12-Learning that a German who spoke Spanish, wore good clothes, had plenty of money and was highly educated has been making inquiry about the water plant south of the city, J. M. Treahy, Dep uty United States Marshal, and Dep uty Sheriff Sid Simpson conducted an investigation.
 They found several persons who had talked to the man and learned that he had dined with several prom inent Mexican residents. When he returned to 'Nogales, he walked out over the railroad right of way instead of taking the train.
 Officers are convinced that he was German spy, that he came here from Sonora, mapped the water SUD- ply and pumping plant, returned to Mexico and forwarded the informa- tion to the military authorities of his government.
 As he was last seen about two weeks ago, the officers abandoned the chase, convinced that he is safe in Mexico.

 ture passed an act providing that all officers of the national guard and the adjutant general shall continue in of flee without the issuance of new com missions, and further provided that all officers shall hold their commits sions until vacated for cause as pre- scribed by law.
 As far as T. know" declared Col onel Harris, the governor has no cause to attempt to remove me from office. However, the receipt of the letter demanding my resignation was no surprise to me. Possibly" con- tinued Colonel Harris, because I make it habit to look far enough ahead not to be surprised.''

COL. HARRIS FIGHTS ID KEEP
 JOb
Adjutant General is Determined to Re main on PayroII-DecIares Cover nor Has No Right to Dust Him.

According to advices received from Phoenix, Col. Chas. w. Harris will not give up his cftice without a fight. This at least was the substance oi a statement issued by the colonel re- gently, in which he strongly ques- toned the Jurisdiction of the govrr- nGr.
 Only for cause and in legal way can an adjutant general be removed from office, according to Colonel Har- ris. Likewise, a successor can be ap pointed only by the four line officers of the national guardsmen of this state and not by the chief executive says Harris.
 Notwithstanding this belief, it was learned that a summary of the law re. garding this point is on file in the of. flee of the chief executive and every law phase had been carefully and resignation was requested, it was stated.
 According to Colonel Harris, nc cause for the request was given by Governor Campbell, the communica tion merely stating that his resigna ton was desired.

It was with a feeling of much pride that the many friends of Col. A. M. Tuthill noted his promotion to Brigadier General in the new na- tional army, in the various newspa- pers this week. The announcement of commissions to various other Morenci boyswas also gratifying and was as follows: c. l.. Queen, Cap tain; J. R. Mclean, 1st It.; Albert E. Ryan, 2nd It.; c. B. Hostettler, 2nd It.: G. w. Schlichton, 2nd It. It is a safe bet that Morenci has furnished more commissioned officers in proportion to her size than any city or town in the whole United States. We naturally include the off, cers who left here on the ColonePs staff as we'll as the company M off, cers. The congratulations and best wishes of the entire community are extended to them all.

FRANCE, CRIPPLED,
HELPS ITS ALLIES
Germany Seizes French Coal
Mines, Iron Ore and Manu-
factories in Drive.
ENERGY IS THE SECRET

Correspondence Of The Associated Press,)
Paris, Dec. 3l.-France was de-
prived Of so per cent of its resources
in coal, 90 per cent of its iron ore and
80 per cent of its iron and steel manu-
featuring establishments by the Ger
man invasion. At the same time the
developments Of the war multiplied
her needs of precisely the things
which those resources supplied. Off
cial figures just furnished to the AS
ISOLATED Press show how, crippled as
she was, France metamorphosed her
remaining industries and improvised
new ones so as to utilize to the maxi
mum her remaining resources, not
only supplying her own army, but
handing over nearly quarter of her
output in arms munitions to her
allies.
France has supplied to the Belgians,
Russians, Italians, Serbians and Rou-
manians great quantities OF such arms
and munitions as she has manufac-
tured herself and has abandoned to
her allies a considerable portion of
what she has bought aboard.
THE cessions of war supplies
France has made to her allies are
not regarded as sacrifices" an Off
Ger of the general staff says. I'VE
simply delegate thus part OF our
energies to those who are in situa-
ton to employ them to the best ad-
vantage
What France Gave.
Of its total production since the be-
ginning of the war, France has turned
over to its allies quantities that rep
resent the following proportions:
