RAID ROUSES BRITAIN
DEMAND REMOVAL OF THOSE RE.
sPoNslBLE.
Incident Described by Commentators
as DisgracefuI to All Branches
of the Service.

London, July 9.-The morning news
papers subordinate everything to the
air raid Saturday. Comments reflect
the popular indignation. Some in
dulge In spirited condemnation of the
government. The country, 1t Is said,
has been Inundated and disgraced in
II manner never experienced since the
Dutch fleet burned Chatham more
than $50 years ago.
The incident is described by the
most angry commentators as disgrace
full, alike to the war Office and the
admiralty air service, and the removal
of those responsible for the miserable
display Of incompetence" Is demanded.
Even those comments which are
more restrained complain that Great
Britain is falling behind In aircraft
construction and say 1t needs speed
ing up. General Haig's reference to
increased German air activity Is re-
garded as highly significant. In all
the comments there Is the same note
Of outraged national pride and disgust
at the impunity with which the enemy
came, raided and departed.
1t is noted also that the aerial at
tack raises to practical level the
question of possible absolute devas
tation of London by aircraft and the
infiiction of such losses rs would
amount to serious military defeat.

President Limits Shipping Of Food
stuffs-To Be Fair to
Neutrals.

Washington, July 10.-President VIII
son issued proclamation on Monday
prohibiting all exports of foodstufs
and war materials except under spe-
cial license.
In giving out the proclamation, the
president made the following state
ment:
I'm controlling by license the export
of certain Indispensable commodities
from the United States. the govern
ment has first and chiefly In view the
ameliOratlon of the food conditions
which have arisen or are likely to arise
In our own country before new crops
are harvested.
"Not only Is the conservation Of our
prime food and fodder supplies q mat
ter which vitality concerns our own peo-
pie. but the retention of an adequate
supply Of raw materials Is essential to
our program of military and naval con-
struction and the continuance of our
necessary domestic activities. We
shall, therefore, similarly safeguard all
our fundamental supplies.
"As to neutral nations, however, we
also recognize our duty. The govern
ment does not wish to hamper them.
On the contrary, 1t wishes and Intends
by all fair and equitable means, to CO.
operate with them In their difficult
task of adding from our available sur
pluses to their own domestic supply,
and of meeting their pressing necessi-
ties or deficits. l>
''In considering the deficits of food
supplies the government means only
to fulfill Its obvious obligation to as
sure itself that neutrals are husband
ing their own resources and that our
supplies will not become available,
either directly or indirectly, to feed the
enemy"

committee, published In the Lokal An
zeiger of Berlin, he said:
1--WE must continue the war with our
whole energies. do not deny that we

DOG FANCIERS FACING RUIN
Dealers In England Sec Disaster In
High Taxes Placed on Animals
to Conserve Food Supply.

Dog fanciers in England. especially
the women, say that the new dog
taxes are going to kill the business
they have been carefully building up
for years. They do not object to the
suggested increase on old licenses, but
they fear the big tax on new dogs Is
going to frighten away all their GUS
toners.
There are many British women with
small incomes living in the country
who have invested most of their money
In dogs as business. They wert
willing to mark time till the end OF
the war, looking forward to revival
In their business afterward. Trade Is
Of course slack just now, but with no
money coming In at all they Will be
unable to retain their kennels.
One fancier spoke bitterly of the
sensational stories told In certain-quar-
tiers about pampered dogs and the I'M
possible amount of food they were ac-
cused of eating.

U. S. TO SEIZE WHISKY
PRESIDENT DIRECTED BY SEN.
ATE. TO PURCHASE SPIRITS.
Government Must Pay Cost Plus 10
Per Cent Profit for All
Liquor Taken.

Washington, July 10. - Whisky Is
dead In the United States for the
period of the war. 1t went into oblivion
on Saturday when the senate voted to
prohibit use of foods for manufacture
of distlllates and adopted also an
amendment by Senator Smoot Of Utah
directing the president to commander
all distilled spirits now In bond and to
pay owners thereof the cost of produc-
ton plus not more than 10 per cent as
profit.
The senate provision would limit
consumption to stocks in retailers
hands or withdrawn before the law
goes into effect. Stocks of distilled
beverages in bond were estimated at
between 20O,0O0,00O and 30O,0O0,000
gallons and the annual normal con-
sumption Mt 12O,OOO,OOO gallons.
To purchase this quantity of liquor,
or what Is left of 1t after Withdrawals
In anticipation of the legislation, 1t Is
estimated that the government would
have to spend from 100000, 900 to ST.
OO0,O0O,0O0 The probable loss in fed
eral revenues was placed at from
$500, 100000 to $400,OOO,O00. although
this Us well as the cost Of purchase
would depend entirely on how much
liquor was withdrawn tax-pald before
the communicating. ~
Beer and wine were triumphant In
the action of the senate and in all
probability will maintain their ad-
vantageous position when the food bill
finally passes the senate and Is re-
turned to the house for conference.

Almost every form of athletics foot ball, baseball, track, tennis and basket ball will have splendid representation during the cou1se of the year at the Tempe normal school, and in it's op- portunity to draw material from all parts of the state to promote the strongest teams possible the normal has come to be recognized. aside from it's educational features, as one of the best athletic schools in the state II has always had a team in the running for state or valley h0nors and a trophy case that stands in the main hall at the normal. mutely but signifiC antiy speass of what normal athletes have accom- plished in their attempts to gain laur- els since the school launched into com petitive athletics in the year 1897. '97 is a significant date, for in that year the normal football squad scored a first pedagogue victory by a 10 to score over the University of Arizona. A few years later the institution organized one of the strongest football teams in the southwest and for as many as six consecutive years carried off highest hOnOrS in the valley and in the state.
 Athletics at the normal are open to every student; everyone has an adapt :, ness at some special sport and there i is always an open position for that boy or girl on a representative team that will some day go into competition and gain laurels for the school and the in dividual.
 Football
 Originally T. N. s. was a premier football school. Later interest in that activity waned and not until the term of 1915-1916 was the old game revived It was real home coming though and i' the way the fellows, many of them new to the game, went into the work under the expert guidance of Coach George H. Schaeffer developed a marvelously fast team. The fellows were enthusi astic and the cooperation between themselves and the coach enabled the school to get back into the game as in olden days. Competitive matches are held regularly with the valley high , schools, the United States Indian school
