ing the meeting Of the officers of
the Home Guard. According to
the rules and regulations adopted
at the meeting each company as a
unit must have at least 40 men,

The Tabor Company has about 36
members and it is necessary that
we get the minium number of
40 members soon. Those who
wish to join need not come to the.
drills, but may appear before pri-
vate j. A. Dvorak who will fix up
necessary papers After that they
become members. There are 2,
547 members in the state and 90
Companies which will be divided
into three regiments, of three bat
talions each. The first regiment
will take in all Companies in the
north half of the state east Of the
river; the second all in the south
portion east of the riyer and the
third, all west of the river.
The War Department wants
this state to furnish 800 men of
military age, 81 to 81 years, who
can qualify as telegraphers in the
Signal Corps of the U. s. Army.
The nature of this -selective SER
vice calls for men of good cliarac-
ter and ability. OILY few weeks
of honest study will equip the
everage person to pass in the Sig
nal Corps service. Schools in te-.
legraphy are now being opened
where, at slight expense, you can

 dering about the school build
 ing within school hours. Ascer-
 taining that this practice was
 upcalled for, I instructed Wal
 ter to remain in his seat as the
 other students were required to
 do. After repeated violations
 of these instructions, I gave
 Walter shaking and a severe reprimand. That evening while
 walking down town, I was ac-
 costed by MT. Finney who in- formed me that I must get
 along with Walter or he would
 withdraw him from school.
 MT. Finney, also protested
 against my shaking Walter asking me to employ some
 other means of punishment. Every time censured Walter, he remained out of school for a half day, excused by his mother on the plea of sickness. So when I administered a se- were reprimand to Walter for his neglecting the furnace, re- sulting in uncomfortably cold class rooms, he left the school premises. I immediately tele- phoned his father asking if Walter were excused from school attendance for the after noon. MT. Finney replied that he had not given Walter per mission to remain out of school that afternoon. Sometime later that afternoon I saw Wal ter in the basement of the school house. I-ordered him to go to his classroom to attend to his school work. Walter refused to obey my orders and went home at once. Remember . ing MT. Finney's protest against the shaking, I suspend ed Walter for insubordination thus leaving the settlement of the case to the Board. In the next meeting of the Board, at which Walters case was dis cussed, I requested the Board to authorize me to expel Walt CT upon the recurrence of the offense. This request the Board indignantly refused to grant. In so far as I know was done in punish ment of this offense. But the of the Board did re- prehend me for not getting along a micably with Walter and practically ordered me to placate Walter.
 The Arizona School Law Manual contains the following clause relating to suspension:

STREET SIGNS ARE UP
Paid For and Money Left For
 Other Improvements

The News is pleased to an nounce that the street signs which it has promoted were put up the last of last week. This improvement is very much appreciated by the people of Williams. Residents of many years standing have been in ig- norance of the names of the streets on which they lived and they are gratified with the in formation which the signs give.
 The News has found that the estimates for material and la Dor made by Williams experts were very liberal. The ex- pense of the. signs has fallen considerably below the esti- mate, and the News holds a nice balance which may be used for other public improve ments.
 The News collected $40 to be used in defraying the ex- pense of the signs. Of this amount the News has paid out $27.2O, leaving a balance on hand of $12.SO. There is a de- mand for an extension of the street signs and the balance, of the fund on hand, or a part of it, can very appropriately be used for that purpose.

 Three or four Mexican boys and one or two American boys were strapped just as severely as Junior McConkey was strap ped. Why no trouble over those cases?

VIII Ask Csranza
To State His Attitude

Washington, Mar 2.-Acting under
state department orders, Ambassador
to Mexico Fletcher will see General
Carranza today to ask the first chief
to make plain to this government his
attitude regarding the German plot to
plunge Mexico and Japan into war
against this country.
The Washington government is anx-
ious to ascertain whether the German
proposal-even though it did not reach
Cararnza-is in any way affecting his
attitude toward this government.
Fletcher's inquiry does not go on
the theory that Caranza has been in
any way affected. The administration,
it was stated, assumes the first chief
will affirm friendly relations with
this government.
Japan has already done so voluntari.
ly. She officially let the government
know, through her ambassador, that
she had no knowledge Of the German
plot to align Japan and Mexico against
the United States and that in any
event she would not hearken to the
proposal of Germany.

CALLS ATTENTION TO
COUNTRY'S WEAKNESS
Chairman of Defense Society
Says Party Lines Must
Vanish

New York, March g." Exposure of
the German plot to embroil Mexieo
and japan into war with the United
States should turn the attention of the
entire country TO the weakness of our
defense system and to support of uni
versal military training, Colonel JOS
eph H. Colt, chairman of the board of
trustees of the American Defense So
ciety, declared in statement to the
United Press today.
- Only one thing will give us any
sort OF chance to hold our own against
Germany or any other nation. That
is speedy breaking down of party lines
IN congress so that the question of de-
fense can be considered by a national
legislature united for Americanism.
Politics in the past had divided the
American congress against itself, with
the result that our legislators. chosen
to give the best that is in them for
nnselfish devotion to the nation. have
thought less of defense than ANYTHING
else.
9 The fest hour for those legislators
is here.
- 1t may interest them to know that
there are fewer men in the United
States regular army than there are IL
eensed chauftcurs in New York; and
the $4,000 men needed to fill the va
eaneies in our regular navy would give

down.
Both requests were made, the Costa
Rican government has every reason to
believe, after investigation, in the in
terests of Germany. s
German government money, the Cos
ia Rican government believes w6uld
have built the wireless station had the
requests been granted.
The Costa Rican government turned
down the request after its officials had
consulted United States officials, and
after the latter had been told the
company wanting the radio concessions
would balk at making operation of the
station conform with Certain under
standings" between Costa Riea and
the United States.
Another sign of German activity was
in the purchase of the ship Marena
Quesada in the United States and at
tempting to place her under Costa
Rican registry.
Temporary registry was obtained
from the Costa Rican consuls in New
York, but upon the ships arrival at
Port Limoh, application for permanent
registry was rejected because, it was
stated, the ship was to be used as a
supply boat for German raiders.
Later the New York Costa Rican
cousul was dismissed from the service.
1t has been considered significant
that two members of the present Tino-
co cabinet are German, although little
is attached to this by
parties here in close touch with the
Costa Rican affairs.
The sentiment of the country is said
to be almost unanimously in sympathy
with the allied cause.
