GOATS GET
 SHEEPMEN IN TROUBLE

Two of the Echevierre Brothers of Flagstaff, said to be among the wealthiest sheep owners in the state, were arrested near Kirkland yester- day on charge of stealing about 60 head of goats belonging to H. E. Sheppard of the Kirkland district. It seems that the goats had become mix ed up in big band of sheep which the Echevierre Brothers were driv- ing to the valley for the winter, and instead of cutting out the stray goats as the law requires, the men in charge of the herd allowed the animals to go along with the sheep, probably with no intention of Thigh grading" the beasts.
 Sheppard swore out a warrant for the men and they were arrested near Wickenburg and brought to this city, where they at once gave the required bond. In the band of sheep which was moving southward, number of trained goats were used as leaders, and it is probable that the goats own ed by Sheppard took a fancy to their travelling kinsmen and decided to fol- low them on their march. Stockmen say, however, that in event stray ami mals are allowed to join a moving band of sheep or cattle, it is the duty of the herders to separate the two brands and see that the stray ani- mals are not allowed to accompany the movement, even though the strays did get into the band through no fault of the herders.-Pressott Jour- nal-Miner.
 A later report says the Echevierres were discharged in the justice court Monday, the prosecution having fail ed to show any intent to steal the goats.

MINING PROPERTIES WILL
 BE INVESTIGATED BY STATE

The Arizona Corporation Commis- sion has long been desirous of making arrangements whereby the Commis- sion could be enabled to make de- tailed and scientific examination of the affairs of the mining, oil and oth- CT corporations that seek permission to sell stock in this state. The Con- mission, however, has always been handicapped by the lack of sufficient appropriation and unlike other State Commissions, vested with the enforce ment of the Blue Sky statutes, has no funds with which to secure the servic- es of compentent mining engineers.
 However, without charge to the state, the Commission has just been enabled to consumate a working agreement with the State Bureau of Mines, a department of the Tucson University, headed by Professor Will lis, whereby the Commission will re- ceive, without charge, the services of Professor Willis and his corps of en- gineers for the purpose of making the necessary investigations of com- panies seeking to sell stock in Arizona.
 That this will tend, in large meas ure, to eliminate wildcat promoters, goes without saying.
 Another remedial effect of this ar. rangement is that through the engi- neers of the Bureau of Mines, the Commission will be able to see that funds received by the sale of stock to the public, are legitimately spent in development work, rather than to line the pockets of the promoters.
 In connection with this matter, the Commission wishes to announce that hereafter it will be necessary that all application for permission to sell stock in Arizona be submitted to the Commission in duplicate. One copy is to be retained by the Commission while the other goes to the Bureau of Mines.

BRITISH RECRUITING
 OFFICE OPENED

Major c. s. Manchester, Officer Commanding Pacific Coast Division, British and Canadian Recruiting Mis- sion, recently made tour of Arizona, and was so impressed with the possi- bilities of obtaining men for the Ser vice in Arizona that on his return to Headquarters in San Francisco he or ganized a party of officers and men to proceed to different cities in Ari- zona to carry on the good work.
 The personel of the party is as fol- lows, with the name of the cities where offices will be opened:
 Officer in charge, Lieut.. J. A. Cro- zier; Phoenix, Sergt. J. E. Mitchell; Tucson, Sergt. E. Blinman; Globe, Sergt. Maj. J. H. Smith; Clifton, Sergt. D. Mckenzie.
 Pte. D. Bury will remain tempora- rily at Phoenix which will be the "hub" for the work of the entire state.
 All these men have seen service at the Front and can tell very interest ing tales of what happened lover there" ..
 The intention is to use the United States Army Recruiting Offices as much as possible, as arrangements have been made with the Federal Government to assist the British and Canadian Recruiting Mission with their machinery.
 "There is no reason whatsoever" Major Manchester states, "to hinder any man from enlisting as all expens- es in connection with his going for ward will be paid and any dependents which he may leave properly cared for during his absence. All he has to do is to apply at one of my offices or any U. S. Recruiting Office in the state"

HORSE AND MULE FAMINE.

If Arizona is to avoid horse and mule famine within the next four or five years, she must get busy and breed these animals right now.
 This is the opinion of Dr. R. J. Flight, state veterinarian. "Never be- fore in the history of the country have we faced such shortage of horses

Des Moines. Dec. 4.-There appears
to be little likelihood that negro fami-

to Des Moines or vicinity because OF
the drafted colored men being station

pressed when it was learned that COL

brought to Camp Dodge. However,
over 5000 colored men have been Ah
camp for more than a month now and
no influx of colored people other than
the negroes themselves is apparent.
Governor Harding wrote to Governor
Charles Henderson of Alabama re-
garding this possibility. Monday he
received the following reply from Gov

Il am in receipt Of yours Of the 18TH

GERMANS PlNcHED BY HUNGER

;.utenant lossiter, Released From
Prison, Calls Hun Women Brutal.
Des Moines. Dec 4.-Germany today
is starving to death. The Germans are
suffering from mal-nutrition: They are
prey to every contagious uisease'
These were statements made by Lieut..
Ivan Lossiter, of the Canadian army
who was for several months confined
in different German prisons and VINO
spoke at the Y. NJ c. A. and Plymouth
CONGREGATIONAL church.
Lieutenant Rossiter was captured IN
the battle of Sanctuary Wood on the
Ypres front. His story Of life in Ger
man prison camps was intensely IN
teresting.
In the course Of his lecture the
Canadian asked himself and answered
several questions Among these was
the familiar one, "Ts the United States
at war with the German government or
the German people?'
The German government and the
German people are one he SAID
in reply 70 this question There IS
no division between the two. Ger
uanv and Germans hate everyone and
everything English. They will fight
both with all their power
While confined in German prisons
Lieutenant Lossiter had an opportunity
TO see the food conditions in Germany.
Potatoes and vegetables are PLENTIFUL
ne said. But meat is almost unob-
tainable and meat to a fighting man Is
absolutely essential. For this reason

nourished. their health is becoming
undermined
During the entire time I was con-
fined in German prisons not once was
my hunger satisfied. While wounded
and in German hospitals neither I nor
German wounded had enough to eat.
What we had was not good food"
Lieutenant Lossiter told Of the work
of the German Red Cross. In only
one instance he found that it in any
way compared to the Red Cross Of the
allies.
One thing in particular he empha-
sized That was the cruelty OF Ger
man women to English prisoners. The
German women he said were unspeak-
| ably brutal to English prisoners.
NO man who has ever been a pris-
oner in Germany will harbor any SYM
pathy for the German women" he said.
For the children he may feel sorry.

American shipping board at the inter-

found in the enormous shipbuildins

who has been one of the busiest menu
bers of the mission.
II can at least say. however, that
it has been Of the highest value ana
significance. My time has been almost
entirely engaged with the shipping
problem of the war.
Il think I can fairly say that the
problem is solved. The stupendous
building program Of America Is the
answer 20 the submarine. the answer
which the defective psychology Of Ger
many could not foresee.
"Of course, the most fruitful thing
about our visit Is the opportunity II
has given us to meet face to face ana
exchange views freely with the men
who are directing the mighty events
now passing. But to me the most In
teresting contact has been with the
men at the front. Here you find no
trace Of their doubts or hesltations OF

The soldiers are splendid. It is al
most incredi BILE that after three years
of war one should find such tone and
spirit among the fighting forces.
Il visited the front, walked in the
trenches, surveyed the German
trenches from an observation tower
in advance of the allied artillery, and
crouched my way thru the dugouts
OF a French battery which was In &C
ton Everywhere 1t is the same; the
soldiers faces are serene. their move

their work in hand and they know It
is good work they do.
Just at present the German line
around Cambria Is reeling under the
staggering blows Of the British. I have
had no time to visit the British front,
but I have seen thousands OF their sol
diers returning from their trenches on
short home leaves. They are sturdy
and cheerful: they look like conquer

after seventeen months, during which
Germany has been on the defensive,

nearly 1900 square miles OF French
territory as they have been slowly put
surely pushed back. This winter will
