County Recorder
 Is c Busy Mdn

With his office so full of work it bulges out on the sides, County Re corder Krebs sits in the middle of a greatly increased force these days and struggles to get out from under the mass of extra work entailed by tae registration bill. AS the hour ap- breaches for the summoning of those registered for examination before the board the county recorders work be- comes heavier. Stenographers, clerks and assistant clerks occupy all the desk space in the office and work at improvised desks outside the railing. Every one in the office has caught the spirit of the thing and is working un- der a strain to get the 6750 registered persons in Cochise county enrolled anew in the order in which their num- bers were drawn in Washington. It is expected that the first 100 drawn will be summoned to Tombstone next week. The exact date will be an nounced soon and the Review hopes to be able to print the names of those persons summoned several days before the date set.

Inmates of Globe Jail Present Petition to Sheriff to Be Removed From Wobblies' Presence.

Deputy Sheriff Dan Armer of Globe who was in the city after John Coretto left this morning for his home. While here Mir.

 sir: The bootleggers and other loyal inmates of the GiIa counsy Jals respectfully request your majesty to segregate the spies and wobblies from those who, though rather unfortunate, still have some regard for decency and the laws of their country.
 We respectfully submit that the cage on the lower floor of the jail con tains several Americans and Irishmen, as we'll as few colored men and Mex jeans whose only offense was the pop ular one of trying to get by the pro hibition law. And we respectfully sug- gest that your majesty place the l. w. w. and the spies in the lower cage and remove the decent men of all col ors to the part of the jail where we are incarcerated, as it. would be un- just to said colored men, Mexicans and others to compel them to listen to the imbecile and traitorous arguments that we, your petitioners, have been forced to hear day and night for weeks"

 To End tue WaT

Joseph G. Walker, patient at the Cochise county hospital, has an inven- tion that he declares will end the war in a rush in favor of the allies if adopted by this country. It is nothing less than the arrangement of series of mirrors to catch the suns rays azu throw them from mirror to mirror ano thence through a powerful glass from which they are projected through space in the form of single terrible and death dealing heat ray. Walker claims that it will slay from afar; that it will devastate the German trenches from a distance of three miles.

CHIEF ENGINEER HAS
 GAINED 40. POUNDS
Almost Lost Hope of Getting Well-After Taking Tanlac Feels Better Than He Has in 25 Years.

"Tanlac to my mind is the greates; and grandest medicine in the world, said O. H. Mahaffey, chief engineer of th Life & Casualty building, Nashville, Tenn.
 T have taken eight bottles," he con- tinued, .'and have actually gained 40 pounds in weighs, and feel stronger and better than have in 25 years.
 For two years have surrered with the worst kind of stomach trouble and indigestion, and fell off in weight from 210 pounds to 162. I am now back at POP, which is almost as much as weighed before I was taken sick. About six weeks ago I got awful bad of and called on the doctor and he told me I had an ulcer of the stomach and if was not careful it might turn into cancer. He gave me some medicine. I didn't seem to get any better and was afraid to eat anything except lit tie oatmeal and sweet milk, but in spite of everything I could do I just kept going down hill and got weaker and weaker every day. l got so dis heartened one day tod my employer it looked like l would have to throw up my job. I was trying to hold on though as long as l could for had a family to support and l made up my mind that just as long as l could drag myself around l would stick it out.
 "One day my wife told me what she had read in the papers and what the neighbors were saying about Tan lac and begged me to try it. She had read about a man who had taken ... who described my case exactly, and he was getting lots better, but l had tried all kinds of medicines so 1 didn't have much hope of it doing me much good. Besides, my doctor had aireacy told me I would have to be operated on in order to get relief. Something just told me though it might help me and I decided to try it.
 After I had taken it a day or :wc I got so hungry I just simply had to eat and I did eat and you can believe me or not, nothing seemed to hurt me a particle My wife said to me, Tan. lac must be helping you and l said I guess it is from the way 1 am eat ing
 Tt wasn't long before those awful pains in my stomach and the small ol my back began to leave. Then l no ticed I began to sleep better. The medicine seemed to take hold quicker than anything I ever saw and bracec me right up. I am telling all my friends about Tanlac and hope every body will hear about it"
 Tanlac is sold in Bisbee by J. N Ball; in Douglas by Douglas Drug Co.,; in Paradise by c. A. Walker. and il Bowie by Bowie Drug Store.-Adv.

Litery Digest DeUOtes 2 Pages
 To Deportation

The Literary Digest of July 2S de votes two pages to the l. w. w. men ace and the Bisbee deportation. IL quotes briefly from a dozen or more newspapers of widely separated parts of the country that both blame and praise the act of the Bisbee citizens. Most of the papers quoted unquav fiedly commend the deportation; all of them condemn the l. w. w. but few criticize the methods used in getting rid of them Gas if there were as,- other).
 The Digest itself undertakes to be neutral but it closes the article in a surprised and pained way by quoting from Haywood, head of the I. w. w., in which he declares that his organi- zation is composed of the roughnecks of the world" and they can't stop us, We will take control of all products and work when We please and how much we please. The man who makes the wagon shall ride in it itself"
 In thus quoting Haywood on the purposes and ultimate objects of nsz organization the Digest pleaded the cause of the Bisbee citizens better than any partisan exclamations and adjectives could have done.
 A part of the Citizens Protective league and Miners Loyalty league telegrams of explanation were used as was also the salient parts of Sherif; Wheeler's proclamation declaring the causes of and necessity for the drive
 Of one thing there can be no doubt whatever. The swlIt, sudden, silent stroke of our citizens on that bright July morning stirred the country from coast to coast Thinkers, writers and takers have discussed it in every com munity in the land.
 We have succeeded not only in throwing the I. w. N. out of Bisbee but throwing them into the sharp glare of public inspection and public condemnation.

Various estimates are being made relative to the number of men in Co chise county who will be called in or der to perfect its quota for the nation al army. The quota for this part of the state is 665, the largest of any sub division in Arizona.

A. c. Karger, clerk of the board of supervisors, has completed the budget for the estimated expenses of the county for the fiscal year 1917-1S1S. It shows that s552. 2.5O1.25 will be need ed for the operation of the common wealth for that time, and that it is probable, according to the clerks esti- mate that the county tax rate will not exceed 30 cents. Last year the county rate was 43 cents, which added to the state rate of 40 cents made total of S3 cents. MT. Karger estimates that the total rate for Cochise county this year including the state rate will not exceed 60 cents, passing his estimate

1t looks very much as if there will
be great railway strike within few
days unless the various lines accede to
the demands of the employees. The
conference with the railroad repre-
sentatives is scheduled for today and
if the meeting does not prove salts
factory to the members of the var
ious brotherhoods. there will certain
ly be the greatest strike that the
world has ever known. 1t is said that
the strike program is as follows: All
trainmen in the freight service of the
eastern roads to be called out at six
o'clock Saturday night. Freight
trainmen on the southern roads lead
ing into New York to be called out
Monday evening at 6 o'clock, and the
freight trainmen on the Hill roads, in
Guiding the Great Northern, to be
called out Tuesday evening. If the
railroads still refuse to grant the
concessions the passenger trainmen
on every road in the country will be.
called out. A strike at this time must
be avoided. Even with the roads
working at full capacity, there has
been tremendous food shortage in
our large cities. Many sections of
the country have experienced a seri-
Gus fuel famine and freight cars are
hard to get for ordinary purposes.
We believe that the matter will be adj
justed, for if conditions become more
serious, there will be nothing left for
the government to do but to take over
the control of the roads.

The letter cleared up for Mr.. Critics
something he had puzzled over for
several days-the sudden dropping off
of grain shipments from Bremen.
The letter went on the say that the
writer was informed the exchange
gave prize Of a five gallon jug OF
whiskey for every car load shipment
of wheat it received and chided the
manager gently for not keeping faith
No more cars of wheat will come from

Whether or not there will be large
immigration from the countries now
fighting when the war ends is puzzle
to many. 1t is said that foreign born
citizens of our own land are in large
numbers saving up money to bring
over their relatives Immediately afte,
the war, and it is also said that those
same relatives, and others also, are
anxious to come. Time alone will tell
but the probability is that some of the
European governments may deter
mine to keep all the able-bodied men
at home in order to repair the waste
that war is making, and to build up
the industries that have suffered Con-
sidering the millions who have been
slaughtered or totally disabled, it is
one of the most likely things for those
nations to do.

This is a splendid time for every
body to show his patriotism by living
for his country. Only few people
may be called upon to die for their
country, but it is within the power
and privilege of everyone to prove his
loyalty by his life. At the present
stage he can show that in no better
way than by doing nothing to hamper
the president in the discharge of the
exceedingly difficult duties imposed
upon him. In ordinary times one may
be perfectly free to criticize and even
oppose the policies of the chief magis-
trate, but in times like this all criti-
cisms should cease and the whole ma
ton present to the world united
front, proof against all assaults from
without or within.

President Wilson has fully decided
to arm American merchant ships
which will be sent to the seven seas,
regardless of Germany's submarine
campaign. Congress did not give him
this power, but the president believes
that he has the power to order vessels
armed without any instructions from
Congress in the way of legislation. A
special session of Congress has been
called for April 16. and some action
may be taken towards backing up the
president at that time. American ships

have been given orders to fire on a
submarine attacking them illegally
and in the face of Germany's decree
that all armed merchant ships will be
sunk without warning, the American
ships will be given instructions to fire
at any German submarine that comes
in it's path. This is the next step
following our breaking relations with
Germany and one that will very like
ly lead us into war. The Navy de-
partment is busy furnishing guns, am
munition and gunners for the Americ
an ships, and it will take some time
to equip all ships. While this coun-
try does not desire war with Germany
or any other nation, Uncle Sam does
not propose to let any nation tell him
where to "head in" on the high seas
if he can help it.
