 5. & M. LUMBER CO.

One of the smoothest rob-
 berries which has ever been per-
 petrated in Williams, was that
 on Monday afternoon when C.
 Corbin secured SIP worth of
 clothing from w. c. Kitten
 houses store and very nearly
 got away with the booty. Dis
 covery of the theft swiftly fol- lowed the deed and Corbin was
 apprehended by the local off cers.
 A little before noon, Mon
 day, a telephone call was re ceived at the Mems Clothing store of w. c. Rittenhouse, the man calling stating that he was R. A. Nickerson of the Mill, and would like to send a man over to the store for about S2O worth of clothing. Peter Campbell, who was in charge of the store at that hour, answered that 1t would be all right, and when a man arrived a few minutes lat CT gave him the clothes wanted Towards the end of the trans action the man, Corbin, asked, for part of the twenty dollars in cash. This was the first cause for suspicion and when Mr. Campbell went to phone to Mr. Nickerson, Corbin decided not to bother about getting any cash just then, and remarking that he would wait until pay day for the balance yet due him from the mill, beat rath- CT nasty retreat. His next stop was at Kelly's Second Hand Store, where he sold the new coat, and then prepared to leave town. ess
 In the meantime MT. Camp bell had learned from the Mill that MT. Nickerson had had no knowledge whatever of the transaction. The police were notified immediately and Bob- by Burns and Seotty McDou- gal engaged in a lively game of hide and seek, with Mir. Cor bin always just few minutes ahead. Finally, after failing to find any fresh traces of the man in town for some little time, the officers took a hunch and set out on the Ash Fork Road at a Barney Oldfield pace in McDougal's Ford.
 They were able to trace foot prints in the dust as far as Su- pal. There the tracks were lost. Section Foreman Cotto- lendy was consulted and re- ported having seen a man en- route for Ash Fork, and moving at such a rate of speed that he was hitting about every fourth tie. An important detail in the mans appearance was a large object of some sort in his hip pocket-probably quite sizable artillery.
 The man had some twenty minutes head start, and the of ficers figured that neither of them stood a ghost of ashow of being able to overtake him on foot. Returning, to the auto ;. Bobby gave the word to travel and Scotty proceeded to take the kinks out of the road to Me Lellan, while Bobby amassed a few more gray hairs.
 At Mcclellan Bobby got out and started off up the tracks

GERMAN WAR PRACTICES
Issued by the Committee on Public Information, Which is Comprised of Secretaries of State, War and Navy, and Geo. CreeI
Germany Pledged to Hague
 Regulations

For many years leaders in every civilized nation have been trying to make warfare less brutal. The great land marks in this movement are the Geneva and Hague Conven- tions. The former made rules as to the care of the sick and wounded and esta ablished the Red Cross. At the first meet ing at Geneva, in 1864, it was agreed, and until the present war it has been taken for grant ed, that the wounded, and the doctors and nurses who cared for. them, would be safe from all attacks by the enemy. The Hague Conventions, drawn up in 1889 and 1907, made addi- tional rules to soften the usag- es of war and especially to pro- tect noncombatants and con- quered lands. Germany took a prominent part in these and with the other nations sol emnly pledged her faith to keep all the rules except one article in the Hague Regula- tions. This was article A, which forbade the conqueror to force any of the conquered to give information. All the oth- CT rules and regulations she ac- cepted in the most binding manner.
 German Policy of Fright
 fuIness
 But Germany's military lead CTS had no intention of keeping these solemn promises. They had heen trained along differ ent lines. N Their leading gener- als for many years had been urging policy of frightfulness. In the middle of the nineteenth century von Clausewitz was looked upon as the greatest mil itary authority. and the meth ods which he advocated were used by the Prussian army in it's successful wars of 1866-1871. Consequently, because the wars had been successful, the wis dom of von Clausewitz's meth ods seemed to the Prussian army to be fully proven.
 ... Now, the essence of von Clausewitz's teachings was that successful war involves the ruthless application of force. In the opening chapter of his work, "Vom Kriege" (On War), he says:
 Violence arms itself with the inventions of art and science. * Self-imposed restrictions almost imperceptible and hardly worth mentioning, termed usages of international law, accompany it without es- sentially imparing it's power. A* Now, phiianthropic souls might easily imagine that 1 there is a skillful method of | disarming or subduing an ene-
 my without causing too much bloodshed, and that this is the
