LIBERTY MOTOR SUCCESS.

The Liberty motor, the airplane
engine upon which the United States
is relying to establish definite air
supremacy over the Germans over
the battlefields of France, has passed
it's final test and is a complete and
gratifying success, Secretary Baker
announced Wednesday.
In a fifteen hundred word an
nouncement Secretary Baker told
how all the best brains of America
and motordom had contributed Sc
crets and achievements to the gov
ernment to produce the Liberty
motor which is to carry the thou
sands of American airplanes over
Germany.
Probably the war has produced
no single greater achievement" the
statement says, and relates for the
first time the story of the design
and construction Of the new motor
which has added a thrilling chapter
to American engineering records.
The secretary says the motor is
''now the main reliance of the United
States In the rapid production in
large numbers of high power battle
planes for service in the war.
I'm power, speed and serviceabil-
ity and minimum weight" he con-
tinues, "the new engine invites COM
parison with the best the European
war has produced. The engine was
brought about, though the co-opera-
ton Of more than a score of engi-
neers who pooled their skill and
trade secrets in the war emergency"
For obvious reasons specifications
of the motor, details of it's perform
ances under test and arrangements
made for It's production in quantities
are withheld. In conclusion Mr.
Baker says:
Progress has already been made
toward organizing the industry for
the manufacture Of the new machine
and deliveries will begin in a COM
paratively short time"

If you are honest with yourself
you will admit they are. The next
time you hear any one talk about
the other fellow running the lodge

THE TOWN SLACKER.

In very town, just as in every

say, think they run things" or

Let US consider these men and
women who think they run things"

not the people who, when there Is
lot Of committee or detail work to be
done, the only ones who will do
it? Are they not the only ones who
are willing to give their time and

BUY HOME PRODUCTS.

a campaign is being started by the
Arizona council Of defense urging
Arizona people to buy and consume
home products. Coconino county
will place over 400 carloads Of fine
potatoes ON the market next month
all Of which will be consumed by
the people Of this state, and Navajo
county is coming into the market
with 20 carloads of beans which
Arizonans are to be called upon to
buy. Yavapai county will have lots
OF fruit, vegetables, alfalfa and
cereals which there is a home mar
ket for. Marketing experts are
working to provide the best avail
able markets for the farmers, but 1t
is essential that the council of de-
fens know at once what the farmers
are raising and the quantities that
will be placed upon the market.

SWEDEN INVOLVED IN GERMAN
CONSPIRACY,

Copies OF three brief dispatches
made public by the state department
Saturday last, revealed another case
OF sinister German diplomacy, this
time directed against Argentina and
involving the Swedish foreign offices
in an apparent grave breach of neu-
traltty and diplomatic propriety.
They were messages to Berlin
from Count Luxburg, the German
charge at Buenos Aires, forwarded
by the Swedish legation there as it's
own communications. Besides ad-
yising that no concessions be granted
Argentina In the submarine contro-
versy they suggested that the South
America country's ships be sunk
without leaving any trace" and
gave information as to the sailing
and positions OF certain vessels.
The departments announcement
was sent to the Argentine embassy
and the Swedish legation at Wash
tngton and at the same time it was
given to the public. There was no
explanation as to how the message
came into the hands of the United
States nor discussion as to what may
be the result.

The proposal will be then pushed with

To promote the idea, the Anti-Saloon

of offices in Washington covering near
ly the whole third floor Of a prominent
office building, equipped with an eff

State CAMPAIGN FOR
NATIONAL PROHIBITION
Anti, Saloon League Orators
Campaign Arizona
TO HELP MAKE NATION DRY

Phoenix, Ariz - Ambitious to have
Arizona in line in a concerted move
ment to promote national Prohibition,
the Anti-Saloon League of America is
opening a campaign that involves
national Prohibition rally in every
town and city in the State during the
next two months.
To open this campaign, one Of the
strongest workers in the League, Mr..
Edward H. Daley, has just arrived
in Phoenix to negotiate the necessary
arrangements and make the dates.
The opening gun will be fired in
Phoenix on September 9, DR.. Louis
Albert Banks being the speaker. For
some wears, DR.. Banks has been one
of the strongest advocates on the
League s big roll of spelIbinders and
he will speak, following the Phoenix
date. with an address in every large
city in the State, speaking continually
until October. Following the Banks
rallies, Mr.. DALEY will continue speak
ing in the State for two months to
come.
The speakers expect to reach every
citizen Of the State, presenting the
project of national Prohibition, for
which the 90 dry States have banded
themselves together to promote. The
remaining wet States are having trou-
bles of their own and, for this reason,
the nation-w wide campaign is being
pushed in the States that have out
lawed the saloons and so know the
benefits of the dry policy.
AN ORGANIZED CAMPAIGN
By vote Of pproximately two to
one, the United States Senate recently
voted to submit to the States an
amendment to the Federal constitution
forever prohibiting the liquor traffic,
which amendment must be ratified by
the States within six years to be eff
fective. The same measure is now
pending in the House of Representa-
tiyes, which must pass the measure
by two thirds vote in order to make
it effective. Because of the demo
cratic caucus action in the House bar

WAR STATEMENTS FAIL TO
HARMONIzE.

The general claims Of the dis
patches sent out. from Berlin and
made much OF by the pro-German
press in this country do not harmon
lie with the reports from the CORES
pondents of British papers at the
battle front in Belgium. In an ex-
tract from a dispatch from Philip
Gibbs to the London Chronicle, of
recent date, the day after the cap
ture. of Pilken ridge, he says:
81 saw this morning great numbers
Of prisoners taken during the past 81
hours and brought in. They had
the look of men who had been
through hell They were orenched
with rain, which poured down their
big steel helmets, Their top boots
were full Of water, which squelched
out at every step, and their sunken
eyes stared out Of ash-grey faces
with the look Of sick and haunted
animals Many of them had cramps
In the stomach through long expos
ure and hunger before being captur-
ed, and they groaned loudly and
piteously.
Many Of them wept while being
interrogated, protesting bitterly that
they hated the war and wanted moth
ing but peace. They have no hope Of
%ofn fo1 fhoi1. An advance
into Russia fills them with no new
illusions, but seems to them only a
lengthening of the general misery.
They do not hide the sufferfngs of
their people at home, and say that in
the towns there is bitter want. aud
only in the rural district is there
enough to eat.
I'm the field they are filled with
gloomy forebodings, and live in terror
OF our tremendous gunfire. The old
men, noncommissioned officers who
have come back after wounds, and
other soldiers of long training, say
that the boys of the younger classes
who are now filling up the ranks,
have no staying power under she'll
fire and no lighting spirit.
Among the prisoners saw today
/ think about quarter Of them. or
perhaps little less, were these
young boys, manufacturing lads.
with terror in their eyes. The
others were more hardy-looking men,
though. pale and worn. 1t is certain
that they made no great fight yester-
day when our men we're near them,
except when they still had cover in
concrete emplacements."
During the last three or four
months many reports of this kind
have been published. There could
be no better proof of the exhaustion
OF the man power Of Germany.
Since the war. commenced, Germany
has lost, according to figures COM
piled from her own official reports
mere than 100000 men or rather
more than double the number of the
entire first line army of the kaiser
when war broke out.

CAMPAIGNS THIS YEAR

This year, there are three Statewide
campaigns in progress. In October,
Iowa will vote at a special election on
a constitutional amendment making
the State dry. Some years ago, the
State Legislature enacted Prohibi-
tiOn law for the State and q succeed
ing Legislature enacted what is called
"mulct law providing that the
Prohibition law was not to be enforced
in counties that got up a statutory pc
tition to that effect, securing thereto
the signatures of ma aiority of the vot
ers of the county.
The last Legislature repealed the
"mulct law, - thus leaving in full force
and effect the original PrOhibitorv
statute. At the same time, the Legis-
lature submitted to the people con
stitutional amendment forever prohib-
ting the traffic, which is to be voted
on in October
At the general elections to be held in
November, TWO more wet states, New
Mexico and Ohio, will vote on the State
wide dry project In each Of these
States, the campaign is now being
waged with the utmost fury. In each
the drys are confident of winning but
are taking no chances and bending ev
cry possible effort to rolling up as large
majority as possible Ohio has voted
on the measure twice before, but lost
each time by small majorities. Each
time, the drys were defeated by. alb
normal wet majorities in Cincinnati
and Cleveland. Last year, the vets
won by very narrow margin and have
little hopes of success again this year

BOOSTED BY THE WAR

The war has given a great impetus
to the national dry game. The lesson
so we'll learned in European nations,
that alcohol not only makes for inef-
fciency in the military operations but
also involved an enormous wastage in
foodstut1s has made a serious impress
sion in America. This idea has been
diligently promoted by the Anti-Saoon
League organizations with the result
that Congress tackled a provision onto
the Food Control bill, enacting that
after thirty days, the use Of fOodstuffs
in the manufacture of distilled spirits
for beverage purposes should cease 1t
is estimated that this will save to the
people over 100000 bushels of grain
that formerly has been destroyed annu-
ally in the manufacture of beverage
spirits.
At the same time, Congress, in the
same Act, authorized the President to
take the same action toward malt
liquors should he, at any time, deem
such an act necessary. If the Presi-
dent should use his powers in this di-
rection, there would be further say
ing of nearly 70,000,0O0 bushels of
grain annually as there is more than
twice as much grain used up in the
manufacture of malt liquors as in the
manufacture OF spirits.
1t is to further arouse the people of
Arizona to getting in behind these ma
tional movements that the national Or
ganization Of drys is now conducting
these extensive operations in Arizona
which has adopted the dry policy and
whose aid is now coveted in putting
the balance of the nation dry.
