JOFFRE WARNS U. s. NOT
 TO SEND UNFRAMED MEN

WASHINGTON D. C., May 15.- The military section of the French mission, headed by Marshall Joffre. during conferences continued today with representatives of the war de- partment, warned the United States that active participation in the war without absolute preparation and pre- yious contact with field operations would invite enormous losses. This became known today after Emile Hovelaque, general counselor, speak ing for the mission. had outlined q statement to be made tomorrow by Marshal Joffre to the American press.
 You must realize," said M. Hovel- aque. that Americans cannot be trained in this country to play at war. They should be there on the field. Americans should know these things first hand and what war really is be- fore they go into it on large scale. Unless America has some actual knowledge of real war conditions in- stead of play war it may cost you much.
 You will be surprised how rapidly conditions change. Lieutenant Colonel Remond, who probably knows more about artillery than any man in France said to me only yesterday: I am afraid of getting stale before get back to France

 Sheriff Wilkey of Mari copa scented trouble when Daley was brought to the Maricopa jail Saturday night and at 2::30 Sunday morning attempted to spirit the prisoner away to Flor ence and place him in the penitentiary there for safe keeping. His plans leaked out, however, and the at tempt was frustrated, when a mob of from 400 to 500 gave pursuit to the Sheriff's auto and caught him just as they arrived into Florence. There was no violence shown the deputies, but the prisoner was taken away, and in less than a half hour he paid the penalty of mur- der and worse, and a coro- ner's jury from Florence found him dangling from a telegraph pole at the scene of his crime. The jury ren- dered a verdict of "justifla- ble homicide" and his body was taken into Florence. The crimes of Daley were those of the basest degener- ate, and the citizens of Phoenix and Florence made him pay the penalty.
