"She" is wanted as an actual
sharer in warlike operations. She
will furnish the nurses, the experts
in cooking, the storekeepers, the &C.
countants, the searchers for lost
soldiers, the aids to the GONZALES

to her man on the firing line and to
some other girls man in the hospi-

"She" will nerve the nation up to

her city or of her hamlet to work to-
gether for the common need. She
will be brave in defeat, she will urge

the sacrifices and sufferings, of the
joys and triumphs Of the national

BRITISH FILM CENSORS

London, April 25.-The British
Board of Film Censors last year Re.
jected 500 out of $500 films sub
mitted to them for inspection.
Among the grounds for the rejection
Of films are the following:
Impersonation of the King;
scores holding up the Kings uni
form to contempt.
Incidents tending to disparage Eng
lands allies or to disturb friendly
relations with them.
Propaganda films of German orr
gin; incidents calculated to afford
information to the enemy; scenes
depicting too realistic horrors of
warfare.
Irreverent treatment of death;
naturalization of the conventional
figure Of Christ.
Reference to controversial or in
ternational politics; scenes tending
to disparage public characters and
to create public alarm; antagonistic
relations of capital and labor.
Nude figures; scenes purporting
to illustrate might life; vampire
women of the drug habit; white slave
traffic; excessively passionate love
scenes.

WHAT CAN SHE DO?
(By Albert Bushnell Hart Of the
Vigilantes)

(By Albert Bushnell Hart OF thu
Vigilantes)
What can ''she do? How did Ev.
spend her time while Adam wa:
dragons? How did Calphurnia hell
when Julius Caesar was practicine
frightfulness on the Gauls? Whar
aid did Mrs. Grant give while the
General was fighting the Virginia
Campaign? What have heroic womer
always done when the war cloud des
cended upon their country and THEN
men took up spear or cross-bow OF
rifle? Just the same thing that the
women of America are to do during
the continuance Of this Tremendous
war.
"She" can keep the family going
The profession Of most women is
housekeeping, and there is no lessen
ing of demand for competent moth
ers and sisters and aunts and sweet
hearts to feed the hungry, bring up
the children and strengthen the
hearts of the faint. Every country
that goes into a real war fights on
the base line of,the home, from
which aid, comfort and love flow
without cessation to the men in the
trenches. The great work of the
home which is the preservation of
civilization, must go on, war or no
war. If the father is where he cannot
take part, the mother must take all
the responsibility.
"She" can take a part in the in
dustrial life of the country which
will set hundreds of thousands of
men free for the hard campaigning
which they alone can perform. She
has long been a work-woman in a
factory, saleswoman, stenogra-
pher, a bookkeeper, a business
those things she will
keep on doing, and she will add in
tasks that are waiting for
women to perform. In the great or
ganization of the industrial forces of
the country she will give indispen-
sable help. The war cannot be Sue
fought without her. New
will open up to her, as
telegrapher, department clerk, or
secretary. She will have
the most glorious opportunity in the
history of womankind to share in

ARCADE TONIGHT

Betsy. a little maid-of -all-work in
a boarding house of the "quick and
dirty" variety. However, she has an
imagination and she dreams of silks
and satins; of knights and ladies.
There are two men who come into
her life-one is grocer's boy with
a learning toward Sherlock Holmes
and the other just boarder with a
story of inheritance.
And these three unearth a thrill
ing mystery that leads to all sorts of
hair-raising situations until they
find "Betsy's Burglar" and Betsy is
not a "slavey" at all!

pense from beginning to end.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS COMMITS
SION CREATED AT PEKING.

Picking, March 2O.-(Corespond-
ence of The Associated Press)-
Since the breaking off of diplomatic
relations with Germany, an 1nterna-
tional Affairs commission has been
created to advise the Premier and
the President upon international
questions Of movement. This COM
mittee at present consists Of fifteen
members, practically all of whom
are elderly men with wide expert
ence in official affairs. Premier Taun
Chi-jua is chairman of the commit
tee. DR.. WI Ting-fang, the minister
of foreign affairs, Lu Cheng-hsiang,
former minister of foreign affairs,
Hsiung His-ling, former premier,
and Asao Ju-lin, former vice-minis-
ter of foreign affairs, are among the
prominent members of the commits
sion.
Tt the suggestion Of the premier,
subcommittee have been appointed
and the various men in the commits
sion will deal specially with mat
tiers in which they have wide expert
ence.
As the result of the severance of
German relations, many changes
must be made in the personnel of
railway custom staff. The commits
sion has decided that Germans en-
ployed on the railways must surren-
der their positions, because of the
close of connections of Transporter
ton with any possible war operations
In the custom service it will not be
so easy to discharge the German en-
ployees because Of the treaties in |
which neutrals are just as much in
teresed as belligerents. It is quite

She had found the money and the watch under the pillow of his couch.
 It was several days ago that Dr. Smith missed the money and the watch He could remember only of the girl having been in his private room and then only fer moment while he was engaged elsewhere He reported the affair to the police and told of the presence of the girl in his office. He said, however, that the did not have the slightest suspicion that she was the guilty party.
 The police instituted q careful in vestiSation with the result that. she was found to be purchasing literally of wearing apparel and pretty things, That she would hardly have the amount of money she was spending, unless she secured it in some such way as that of the robbery Of the physicians office, was the belief of the police.

WHITE VINES COSTING VALLEY
 THOUSANDS; RELIEF |S SOUGHT

, Doves and white wings feed twice a day and in one instance, q party killed F birds and took the wheat from their craws, dried and weighed it and found an average of nearly two ounces to each bird. Now for the sake of argll- ment let us assume that there are one million birds in the valley from east of Mesa to west of Buckeye and I really think that this estimate is conservative and also for the sake of argument. we say that instead of each bird eating two ounces twice day, that they eat altogether, one ounce day, this makes 62500 pounds per day. Now say that there were only one half the birds we have allowed and that they only ate half as much, the damage is enormous. It is not altogether either what they eat as what they waste. I have. eX- amined fields of grain and found Whele e the shocks stood, the ground almost covered with grain. have seen fo.lr or five white wings on one stalk of feterita and allowed them to feed till they lert and examined the ground around the stalk and it would be nearly white while other stalks would be filled with grain and the ground about them. show practically no grain.
 am writing this at this time to show you the best l can. without T demonstration, the loss occasioned and to see if some action cannot be taken before the grain ripens. The demon stration that you spoke of would take some days and in the meantime the loss goes on.
 believe that if you will make in- 1uiry among the ranchmen and h1rnt- CTS they will corroborate all that have said. That the loss is far greater than most people suppose, goes without say Ing and while the hunters will not be able to save all the grain. they will certainly be glad of the opportunity to do what they can, not only for the sport but for saving the grain.

In an effort to secure relief to the
 farmers of the Salt River valley from the destructiveneSs of the white wings and doves that daily consume thou ] sands of pounds ofs grain. Walter D.. | Brawner, now in Washington, D. C., has 1 enlisted the aid of Congressman Carl ! Hayden In telegram from BraWner received yesterday by the board of su-

 WALTER b. EXAMINER. In this connection it was stated by Clarence Standage, clerk of the board of supervisors, that the board is anX- IouS to secure such relief locally as is possible. Ranchers all over the valley are complaining of the devastation to their crops worked by the doves and white wings. As the federal law does not permit the shooting of these birds lntil long after the mating period has passed in the valley, it is pointed out that some provision must be made to remedy local conditions. It is probable that about the only relief at present would be that secured through a proc laniation from the president advancing the opening of the season and possibly
 inca easing the daily limit, if not lifting it entirely.
