LIVE ON ARMY CHOW,
 ADVICE OF ABBOTT

PHOENIX, Nov. 3O. - Mothers sisters, sweethearts and wives-thc man who makes the good soldier is the man who lives on army chow.
 Don't send your boy-"sugar and spice and all that's nice" unless you want him to fall by the waysidc on 3 20-milc march with 60 pounds on his back
 This is the advice of Lieutcnan, Lyle Abbott who arrived yesterday from the officers training camp at Leon Springs where he received his commission last week. The young army officer, who is one of the best known newspaper men in the State, will leave tonight for Los Angeles. In ten days he returns South where he has been assigned to duty.
 Lieutenant Abbott has much to say in favor of military training. He de- clares it is the making of man and every phase of it has his approval save the camp exchange.
 It is a form of dissipation the off. ccr says is absolutely doing harm and .has been responsible for many a man dropping out of ranks. Complaints of dizziness by men in the march in variably brought the following qucs- ton from the officer in command "what have You been eating"
 The lieutenant declares that food plays an important part in military training and that those who send "boxes" are really infringing when they forward "indigestibles" to camp He believes in an occasional sweet sprcc," but he would have it confined to pure candies. Good old stick candy and pure chocolates. breaches the young soldier.
 Tobacco in all forms he declares i: a Godscnd to the boys in training and the really acceptable gift is the sleeve less sweater.

Associated Press Correspondence.


 BASE OF BRITISH GR A \ D FLEET, November 3O.-Thc head of the British admiralty. speaking the other day in the house of commons, flung out challenge to the German navy. He said: T disclose no se- cret, or if it is secret I disclose a fact which l should be glad to tell the enemy-when l say that the British grand fleet in its northern base lies behind no shore defenses. but relies on its own strength alone"
 There are people in the United States who do not appreciate the ac- tivities of the British navy in its home waters, who think that It lies in idle ness, like the German high seas fleet, behind impenetrable landlocked bases. For the purpose of removing this inn pression, The Associated Press rep resentative was asked to visit the grand fleet, live on board the first line battleships, and observe just what sort of days work it puts in day after day and week after week
 Ccaseless activity is the motto of the grand fleet. Neither men nor ships are permitted to gather rust or barnacles. From its base at the northern tip of the British Isles. it sweeps day and night the 10000 square miles of the North sea, on ceaselcss vigil, in unfagging hope that one day its watching will be re- wardcd by meeting with the enemy under circumstances wherein he can not avoid battle. Moreover, this sweeping of the North sea IS no mere afmless patrol. In the most casual moves of ships and men there is al ways a directing mind and directing plan. The North sea is as we'll swept in relation to its size as the drawing room of a well-ordered house. The enemy's coastline is still the British navy's frontier.
 The harbor which has been the home of the grand fleet for three years is probably the finest of its kind in the world. The whole area comprised in this British northern base is about equal to the hundred odd square miles which the Germans evacuated in France last Spring. I'm

CLUB MEMBERS GET
 CHRISTMAS CHECKS
(From Saturdays Daily

Quite a number of thousands of dollars were turned loose in Prescott on Wednesday when the Commercial Trust & Savings Bank mailed checks to the members of its Christmas club The check itself was a pretty speci- men of the lithographer's art. and its design was symbolical of the Yulctidc season.
 The Christmas club idea is not new, it having been in vogue for number of years, not only with this financial institution but with like ones all oves the United States, but its popularity is increasing owing to the fact that it affords an opportunity for many to save without hurting themselves and provides them with fund with which 10 remember friends and loved ones at the gift-time of the year. For this reason the club will be continued next year, as usual.
 One feature of the Christmas club which should not be overlooked is that it is stimulus to business and puts in circulation a considerable amount of money. thus bcnehtting the merchants to an apprcciablc de- gree. This year, with the merchants feeling the burdens of war taxation this money will act as sonic to bus mess conditions and aid materially in restoring them to normal.
 Despite the drain upon the com munity in various ways, it is evident that Prescott people arc prosperous, judging from the latest statement of the condition of the Commercial Trust & Savings Bank, Just rendered to the government In the past three months the, savings department has increased the amount of its deposits S52,000, a showing that speaks vol umes for the bank and its patrons.

 Judge Ainsworth belongs to the hyphenated class, being an English man by birth, but naturalizcd as an American over 30 years ago. He says he has come 10 stay and won't go back, win or lose.

BRITISH GRAND FLEET ISSUES A BOLD CHALLENGE ID ENEMY
Lies Behind No Shore Defense At Its Northern Base But Relies On
 Own Strength Alone.

battleship squadrons, for example, within their own particular section of this great base, have room for every kind of practice manoeuvres, includ- ing target practice.
 On a sunny afternoon the corres- pondent saw eight ba,iieships at tur- ret or target practice, a detachment of cruisers in manoeuvrcs, a seaplane> balloon ship at work under conditions stimulating those of actual warfare, and off around the edges, various op- erations by innumerable small craft and auxiliaries.
 Night target practice, which also is conducted within the fiarbor, is all ways an interesting sight. The battle ships steam down the nine-mile course. Suddenly a searchlight picks up target. Instantly every turret IS trained. every gun directed. Then button is pressed somewhere, and the guns speak as with one voice in gigantic broadside that awakens tho echoes from the hills.
 There is an infinite variety to the turret practice on a big battleship. The officer in charge of the turret speaks: An enemy shell has come in through the turret, killing men numbers 1, }, 1 and 6. Right gun disabled. Con- ncction with rest of ship lost. Carry on" The "dead men" file off to one side and watch their comrades work as they would in actual battle. There is the zest of game to 1t.
 The officer speaks again: Shell has hit turrct, killing all men except numbers l and }. Number } is seri- ously wounded. Ammunition hoistine machinery disabled. Fire started in pile of waste behind gun. Carry onr' The single unwounded man left in the turrct must now endcavor to keep the guns in action single-handed, be- sides dealing with fire and serious ly wounded man. The "dcad men" stand along the edge of the turrct and watch their comrades efforts to "car- " on" with interest and amusement
 It is play. but play with deadly efficiency behind it for 1t Is intended that in actual battle, there shall not be a single possibility with which these men will not be ready to deal

FEEDS HIS HENS ON
 GRASS; MAKES MONEY

PHOENIX, Nov. 29-At the State council of defense rooms a visitor from Cochise county told an interest ing story of an industrious individual who has a little ranch near Bisbce and who in seven months made S2,O00 from HOO hens that have been given little other feed than the clippings from the lawns of the residence dis trict of Warren. When Winter struck him, he had to feed them some thing else, but his saving was notable as long as the grass lasted.
 A Phoenix city official suggests that something of the same sort nigh, be done in other communities of the State. Here in Phoenix, probably 600 acres arc in lawn or in grass and a small army of men is employed in the cutting of the Summer Bermuda and Winter Australian rye. These trimmings usually are burned, consti- tuting clear waste of good horse O. cattle feed l. is worth considering also that every ditch border has a rank growth of grass. at present un. utilized except on the larger canals where the reclamation service keeps down the weeds by grazing bands of sheep and goats. With hay at S26 a ton, it is felt that the time now is ripe for utilization of large forage product

 TRAIN AND MAKES ESCAPE
(From Fridays Daiiy.)

c. Wadsworth, who was arrested yesterday at Crown King while in the act of piloting a cargo of whiskey into the arid lands in that vicinity, made a dramatic escape last night from Constable Patterson while the latter was bringing him to this city, by jumping off of the passenger train which is due in this city at GAO p. m.

The officers in this city phoned to the Crown King constable, and when the whiskey merchant arrived in that camp he was placed under arrest. The constable placed the prisoner aboard the train bound for this city and started for the county jail with the man and the contraband baggage. As the train was nearing this city and after its speed had been checked somewhat, Wadsworth asked permis- sion of the officer to go to the for ward end of the car and get drink, and when he reached point near the door, he made lunge for the plat form, and before the officer could get tO him he had slid off the train and was soon lost in the darkness.

RECORDER DOES BIG
 BUSINESS IN NOVEMBER
(From Saturdays DaiIy.l

County Recorder E. h. McSwiggin reported last night that his office had done business amounting to ST. 425.l5, ono of the heaviest months, in financial way, that the office has ever experienced.
 Mir. McSwiggin states that the un' usual amount of business was due primarily to two reasons, first, the large number of exemption claims which arc filed by mine owners who wish to take advantage of the recently enacted Federal measure which Sus- ponds the annual assessment work tor a period, and secondly, 10 the large number of oil land locations which are being made in the Chino valley. At the present time, according to the recorder, there are more than 50 sec tions of land which have been filed on in that part of the county, and it is said that many of the claims over lap each other, and in case the land ever does amount to anything through the discovery of oil. much litigation will be necessary to straightcn out some of the kinks which seemingly exist in the matter of the boundaries of the locations.
 Many thousands of claims in the county are now listed In the proper tics upon which the exemption claims have been filed. and it is believed that many thousand moro will be covered by the affidavits filed during tho pres cnt month.

THE RED CROSS MUST
 HAVE A NEW HOME
(From Saturdays Daily)


 Mrs. Morris Goldwa;cr yesterday afternoon announced that the local chapter of the Red Cross will, within the next few days, Dc compelled to seek new rooms for its headquarters, Inc work of the organization having reached a point where iiic present quarters in the High school building are very much too small. For the past few weeks, an average of Is or 20 ladies have been spending their time sewing and otherwise working in behalf of the activities of the local chapter, and the result IS that the women have manufactured such a large amount of supplies that the present location is unable to contain them all. The rules of the organiza- ton prevent the Red CroSscrs paying any rent, and consequently the ladies arc looking 10 some bcncvolcntly in- clincd landlord to furnish them a in which the manifold activities of the society can be carried on with plenty of elbow room.
 . Just now the ladies arc at work on +00 Christmas boxes, which they plan to send to the Yavapai boys at Camps kcarncy and Funston within the next few weeks. The packages will con tain goodly assortment of toilet articles and cdibles and other little articles designed to lessen the hard ships of camp life, and which will also serve as reminders to the local lads that the folks back home haven't quite forgotten them.
