 MT. Mcbride was for many years one
 of the foremost labor leaders in the United States. It may be said that ne was the foremost.

into this colossal war, than which there has never been a greater or one more abOunding in sorrow.
 So great a war and such deep sor rows should not be without the bene- ficial results of humanity. We feel that to establish fuller human life, nobler union of mankind we should let our selves be ruled, as regards all the na- tiOns and even as regards our enemies, by that sense of justice which insured your hero.
 And today, at the tomb of George Washington, while we reaffirm our promise never to hesitate in war and to offer to our just cause our fortunes and our persons we affirm solemnly that We look upon war as the necessary via dolorosa which leads to universal jus tice and peace
 In the name of my august cousin the king of Italy. and in the name of all the people of Italy, I wish solemnly to declare, in this place sacred to the American nation, that we shall never lay down our arms until our liberty and the liberties of the peoples who are suffering with us, shall be rendered safe against all surprises and all vio- fence, and at the same time. I affirm once more that our victory must be that of progress and of justice.
 May the spirit of George Washing ton watch over us and light us upon our way"

w. c. Zimmerman, a banker of Pasco, Washington. who is now residing in the city, has just received word from a townsman. A. J. Elrod, secretary of the Interstate Evergreen Highway As sociation. of a tour of the officials of that association which will include Phoenix The tour is in the interest of military road which will extend from the Mexican border to the Pacific coast northwest, the only route that will be open at all seasons of the year. It is further said of the tour and it's objects;
 The existence of a state of war has forced upon the people of the United States. as never before, the conviction that good highways are Indispensable as a means of defense, and, in the campaign of preparedness being con ducted in every nook and corner of the land the need of connecting high ways so located as to be of special service in military operations is not being overlooked. General Goethals, the builder of the Panama. canal, is serving the state of New Jersey as highway engineer, to supervise the eS- penditure of 5000 900 for state roads. Governor Stevens. of California, IS ad- vocating for his state. federal, state
  struction of military roads" Senator Bankhead, Of Alabama. recently said in a speech, Tt may be I can be of the most service to my country. whether in war or at peace, by promoting the building of better roads"
 Actuated by the same sense of nec- essity. the executive committee of the Interstate Evergreen Highway asso- citation have proposed the extension of the Evergreen Highway so 2s to run from Vancouver, British Columbia, to the Mexican border at Fl Paso, Texas, a distance of 2,S00 miles. The route will be from Vancouver south over the Pacific Highway to the Columbia river, thence east with the north bank of the Columbia, and over the Snake river plateau. to Lewiston, Idaho; thence through the Snake river canyon, part ly on the Oregon and partly on the Idaho side, to Weiser: thence by way of Boise, Twin Falls, Ogden, Salt Lake City. the Grand Canyon, Prescott, Phoenix. Tucson, Bisbee and Douglas, to Fl Paso The advocates of this route are impressed with it's para mount utility in military mobilization because of it's two commanding ad- Vantages. in that. first. it connects the Pacific coast and both national houn- y for, and. second, it is the only route into the Pacific northwest overwhich motor trucks could be operated every day in the year It follows water grades. It connects in one chain the cities Of the United States blessed with the least annual rainfall and the largest percentage of possible sun shine Throughout it's entire length climatic conditions, soil formations and contours are such as to eliminate troubles from mud. The few missing links in the chain can be constructed with little cost.
 The highway will also serve local divisions as a utility road, usable the year round; in some states breaking the bonds of isolation which have hamp- cred maximum industrial development as in the counties of Waiiows ana Baker in Oregon, and some of the counties of southern Utah not served

 It is proposed that the advice and instruction should be direct and abso- lutely specific"
 The advice, MT. Hoover said, will be based on the fact that we eat plenty if we eat wisely and without waste"

The prisoner is a corporal and was piloting a two- seated machine on reconnaissance work The passen ger was a new lieutenant observer whom the pilot was taking up for the first time.
 The lieutenant was nervous from the start and kept giving the pilot contra dictory instructions which caused him completely to lose his way That is now he happened to get over the Brit lsh lines. The pilot turned his ma chlne eastward, as he thought, but be- lieved something must have gone wrong with his compass. He had not flown a great distance when he sight ed several British fighting scouts Now the passenger became fairly frantic and began beating the pilot on the back urging him to swing around in the op- posite direction. This further confused the pilot and the first thing he knew one of the British machines had open ed ire and shot him through both legs.
 The pilot took matters in his own hands then and in order to escape from the attackers, dived almost vertically With the engine full on. He did not flatten out until within twenty feet of the ground, and then, almost faint from his wounds, he let the machine slip and landed with a crash.

COLLIE |S SHOT;
 OWNERS IN GRIEF
 BY WANTON ACI'

There was a tragedy in Phoenix yes terday morning; a spiteful and needless one. valuable white collie dog be- longing to Phillip Meyer was shot and killed by a policeman It was a sacri- flee of a dogs life to ignorance. It was the old story of a dog with foam on his mouth and the hue and cry of mad dogi' But they are no longer burning witches; perhaps sometime 1t Will be understood that foam on the mouth of a dog does not mean rabies.
 This dog was well known by all the dog fanciers in town. A few days ago he had an affection of the throat caused by eating fox grass and he was treated by Dr. Gerdes. The dog had been taken back home still troubled with swelling of the throat and an occasional dis | charge of saliva or foam. Yesterday
 morning he left home and went to the
 house of a friend of his master. Mir. {. Meyer. soon after missing him, called
 at the police station and told of the
 loss and requested that the dog might 1 not be harmed if found running at | large. He was assured that the dog would not be harmed.
 About that time the dog was seen in 1 the neighborhood where he was after
 ward killed. He had been playing with young son or MT. Edlenndn where ne i had gone. Somebody saw him drinking water and noticed the foam on his
 mouth. Policeman Stewart. who lives
 nearby, was called rom his bed, and without any other information or in vestigation, shot the animal.
 l Mir. Meyer said that he had been of- i fered $500 for the dog which was a per i feet specimen of the collie breed, 1 clear white except for yellow spot on one side of the head. An offer of $500 1 I7lght as well have been made for 6 child if MT. and Mrs. Meyer had one. i Mrs. Meyer could not control her grief
 while speaking of the killing. She re cited where she was with the dog q ! week ago yesterday. a month ago yes- ] terday, and so dwelt upon her various
 associations with him.
 She said that her sorrow might have ! been softened little, but for the con 1 duct of the officer when she remon- i strated with him fors the act. She said i that he told her he had notion to ar
 rest her so addressing him while he l was on duty.
