ARIZONA HOTELS AND b|G EATING
 HOUSES WARNED
Food Administration Noti-
 fies Users of Ten or More
 Barrels of Flour a Month They Must Have Licenses

warning was issued today from the office of the federal food admin istrator for Arizona to all hotels and restaurants serving bread or other bakery products of their own baking that they will come within the scope of the presidents proclamation requir- ing that all concerns using ten or more barrels of flour a month apply for government license. In this connec- tion it was pointed out that there is hardly a hotel or restaurant in the state that handles it's own baking that does not consume this amount of flour.
 Through the cooperation of NJ. T. Grier. chairman of the hotel and res taurant mems committee for the state, Timothy A. Riordan, federal food ad ministrator for Arizona. is planning to secure the rigid observance of the li- cense program which is to become effective December 10. The president S proclamation makes clear its applica- ton in the following terms:
 'All persons, firms, corporations and associations. who manufacture for sale bread in any form, cake, crackers. bis cuits pastry or other bakery products, excepting, however. those whose con- sumption of any flour and meal in the nldnuldCIure or SuCn pIOuuclS IS, III the aggregate, less than ten barrels a month, are hereby required to procure a license on or before December 10, 1917. This includes hotels, restaurants, other public eating places, and clubs, who serve bread or other bakery prod ucts of their own baking"
 Application for license must be made to the United States food administra- tion, Washington, D. C., law depart ment-license division, on forms pre- pared by it for that purpose, which may be obtained on request.

initiation into the frat" demands that he spend a night in what has been commonly called the gnost house." an old deserted house that bears the unenviable reputation of being haunted. Unaware of the fact that the house is the rendezvous of notorious gang of thieves, the surprise of the young candidate may well be imag- ined when he enters the house under these conditions. Further complica- tions are made evident by the fact that two women have come to make the house their home, it having been willed them by a relative. Each occu- pant being unaware of the presence of any other, the strange sounds are readily traced to the doings of the ghosts" and many amusing situa- tions are the result. A strong cast has been assigned the co-stars, and the bill will prove a very enjoyable enter tainment.

 MP[0YES WIRE
 PROTEST EAST
President Wilson Is Urged by Labor Leaders Not to Retain Postmaster Gener- al BurlesOn in Office

The postal employees are hot! Per haps they are in a torrid state all over the country, but there is certainly ca loric among them in t'noenix.
 The report of Postmaster General Burleson to congress in which he con- demns the unionizinS of postal en- ployes and denounces their orgaAiZa- tion as a menace to the nation, brought a quick and spirited kick from Phoe- nix in the shape of a telegram signed by Thomas J. Crpaff, secretary of the local Postal Employes Union and by Thomas A. French, secretary of the | State Federation of Labor with wSich the local uiion of postal empluyes is affiliated.
 The telegram which was directed to President Wilson, follows:
 Speaking for organized workers in Arizona, including postal en
 ployes, we moy: earnestly protest against the unWise and unfair in- suit to organized labor contained in
 the postmaster generals report.
 MT. President, you know the ad- visibility of having at the head of
 the postal service, employing such
 large number of men and women, an executive who knows and un-
 dersts nds the problems of men and
 women who labor for a living. The retention of Burleson as postmaster
 general would be detrimental to the
 service, and unjust to the em- 1 ployes."
 | MT. Croaff, who is also president elect of the Arizona State Federation ot Labor, was very outspoSen last night | in opposition to the policy of Postmast CT General Burleson because of his al | legged anti-labor activities
 With the workers in the postal ser. vice he said. 'it is not a question O politics or personal opposition to an! 1 government official, but it is certain that Postmaster General Burlesol must go. He has opposed every nov, for the betterment of the condition o postal employees aud his autocrati policy has made 1t almost impossible t get qualified men and women sufficien to properly run the postal service. Tn public is entitled to thu very best ser | vice but they can only secure il b. raising the standard of the service. b better pay a11 better conditions coupled with better opportunities fo advancement.
 "A new bill will be introduced i congrets at this se.lion for better pa for our employees but conditions cki not be improved until autScracy i banished from the postal administra tion. We Nxpect President Wilson t do that
 The public will watch the contes between the postmaster general an the postal workers with great interes for there is involved in it the questio of the right of government workers { organize.

AS. a matter of fact, Italian studies are his favoriteS, but his first work in character impersona tion was as a Frenchman. Mr. Beban has chosen his type from an actual character living in the Bohemian quar- ter of New York, and is said to give a most interesting character study ln this story of the love and willing sac rifice of an old Frenchman for his boy, that the boy might become the ac- complished artist to which he asplres. This picture was due to show at this house some little time back, but through some mishap in shipping, the picture never reached the city, much to the disappointment of the many followers of the celebrated Beban.

DR. FRANCIS |S
 HEARD IN ABLE
 ADDRESSFOR Y

Devotng his attention chiefly to the causes which have Ted the United States into war and using this as the basis for his appeal in behalf of the Young Women's Christian association war work campaign. Dr. James Francis last night addressed a crowd which filled to capacity the First Methodist church.
 After he was introduced by Cover nor Thomas E. Campbell, who was on the rOstrum with him. Dr. Francis re- lated startling facts in support of the theory that a European war was not possible of prevention in face of the belligerent attitude evinced by Austria and Germany in 1914.
 Tn spite of all the efforts made by other European nations to stay the threatening hand of Austria against Servia it took the Austrian govern ment just 32 seconds to sever diplo- matic relations with that country said pr. Francis
 The speaker related how after the Serajevo incident Servia readily as- sented to most of the demands made by Austria and then asked for a short time to consider the two remaining demands and how this request had been refused by Austria Although | the consent of the Servian government to admit these demands were in the hands of the Austrian ambassador ex- actly two minutes before the time limit expired, the Austrian ambassador |! packed up bag and baggage and 3: minutes later was on his way home with diplomatic relations severed. l Tt took the United States two anC | half years to decide to sever dip l lomatic relations with Germany" saiC l the speaker, even after all the insults | that had been heaped upon us after oul women and children had been mur- dered in the sinking of unarmeC ships, and the German government hae marked off the Atlantic ocean and for bidden us to send ships there on any ] kind ofanission.
 1 Tt simply showed the frame of mint i of Austria. Later it was found that il reality it was not Austria, but the l great crouching giant behind hel which said go through with it, we ar, back of you"
 Dr. Francis endeavored to illustrat, | that Germany and Austria were anx. 1 ious for the fray and were only await i ing the opportunity to start the grea world war now raging in Europe.

Redmond Hit at Elks

"A Thief in the House" the smart musical conceit now being played at the Elks theater, is proving to be the big hit of the Redmond season. This play is a recent New York success, and in the Redmond production the startling features that made it a Broadway hit are brought out in a clever manner by the Redmond play CTS. A striking feature of this cur rent production is the list of diversi- fled characters introduced. Ed. Red mond portrays the role of myster- ious. stranger and Marvin Hammond, who has always been seen in the petite ingenue roles, appears in this production as the forlorn slavey and her subtle comedy style makes her rendition of the role a pronounced hit.
 Myrtle Dingwall, Joe Kemper, Bob bic Deane, Bill Cochran, Mae McRae, l Eddie Mitchell and the bevy of sing and dancing girls have good support ing roles and the play runs rapidly from the opening number to the last song feature rendered by the clever | character comedian Of the Redmond forces, Minor Reed.
 "A Thief in the House.. will be staged tonight, tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night, and Sunday matinee and night for the last time.

 ''The opening episode of The Re l treat of the Germans shows great | variety of phases of modern warfare. l You see the men working over | barbed-wire entanglements, trans l porting munitions, managing machine guns, reconnoitering in airplanes close l to the enemy's line. You see them | tumbling along in the toadlike tanks on which the Tommies lavish the same affection they might upon a faithful l dog or horse. You see the engineers rebuilding bridges n.own up by the retreating enemy, strengthening roads 1 overlooking ruins-you see them mak- ing friends with the homeless womer and children of devastated towns
 These pictures are in a series of two reels each and will be shown at the Columbia theater every Friday anC Saturday until finished. On the same bill will be seen The Mysterious MT Filler" and also a Mutt and Jeff car toon comedy.
