Then we rounded a curve little ways
out of Prescott where the wall rose
sheer for great distance causing me
to look up. There in the clear pale
blue Arizona sky was the evening star
peeping forth. All Of a sudden it
dawned upon me the fleecy clouds re-
sembled the red. the white and the

When Mr.. Green spoke of the Ger
man plan to make Arizona a portion
of Mexico if Mexico joined Germany in
conquering the United States. he took
the stars and stripes and waved il from
the platform asking the students II
they would defend it. The response
was vigorous applause and it took sew

The shortage of az ricultural labor is already so serious that with the harvest season now ap- preaching, including the putting up the hay crop on 100000 acres of alfalfa, harvesting our grain and general crops of produce and fruit, together with cotton, that it is very evident that without some relief as suggested by allowing us to obtain temporary labor from Mexico a large portion of our crops cannot be harvested. This is not a question of wages, as the producers of our sections are ready and willing to pay good wages, but it is absolutely impossible to obtain the labor, and l earnestly trust that you may evolve some definite plan at q very early date which will comply with the suggestions made in the resolution of the executive committee of the Arizona State Coun- cil of Defense and the inclosed tele- grams from various producers

ITALIANS AND
 AUSTR|ANS IN
 DEATHEMbRACE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

From Playa in IsonZo to the Adriatic sea, the Italians and Austrians are fighting bitterly and the troops of Gen eral Cadorna are making steady prog ress, especially on the southern end of the 21 1-mile front
 North and south of Jamiano, eight miles south of Gorizia, the Italians have driven the Austrians back and taken additional important positions. The gains here are a direct menace to the defenses of Trieste. The fighting is made harder because of the barren, hilly country. Cadorna's men, however, have taken two strongly fortified hills north of Jamiana and reached the out skirts of Versio.
 The Austrians have attempted to check the Italian advance on the south ern Carso by making violent counter attacks south and east of GoriZia and along the Vodice sector. At all points of attacks the Austrians were driven back with heavy losses and east of Hill 652 on the Nodice, the Italians cap tured the position from which the Aus trians emerged to the attack.
 Local infantry attacks by the British and the Germans and intensive artillery and aerial activity on the Arras front may indicate a renewal shortly of the intensive fighting there. Around Loos and Bullecourt, the northern and south ern ends of the Drocourt- -Queant line both armies have made attacks, but with no great success yet reported.
 Near Braye en Laoonois and east of Graonne, on the Aisne front, the French and the Germans have again been al grips. In the region of Pantheon northwest of Braye, the Germans after an artillery bombardment. gained a foothold in the French lines. Immedi- ate counter attacks by the French however, drove the forces of the Ger man crown prince from most of the captured elements.
 General Petain's forces have occupied most of the Chevreux wood, east o1 Craonne, after inflicting heavy losses on the Germans and taking thirty pris- oners. Two German battalions were almost annihilated by the French
