II draws a picture of Prus-
sian brutality that is al
most beyond belief. In fact a
great many people for a long
time refused to accept the
stories of German methods in
Belgium and France. They
seemed incredible, but Mr..
Gerard brings the facts direct
from Germany He was the
American ambassador and
prior to the commission of
gross outrages against our
rights was on friendly terms
with Teutonic officialdom. He
fraternized with them and
knew the Prussian mind and
Prussian methods from first
hand knowledge. The report
he brings verifies the worst
stories from Europe. The
German warlords have a code
under which they think it per-
fectly right to stop at nothing.
There is no honor, nothing sa-
cred under the sky. Sworn
treaties are but scraps of pa
per. Germany started the war
deliberately and in cold blood
in hope of successful conquest
through finding the world un-
prepared and divided. After
conquering Europe she plann-
ed to whip America, and said
SO. Prussian methods have
been to maltreat the wound
ed, enslave a civil population,
disfigure. children and syste-
matically and deliberately out
rage the women and girls, so
much so that it is said none
escaped in the conquered ter
ritory. A government that fol-
lows such methods is not fit to
live. nor are men who cOunte-
nance such policies. If the
world is to remain for human
habitation there can be but
one answer to Prussianism. 1t
must be wiped out and 1t
should be done with thorough
ness. Brought to his knees by
reverses the kaiser should be
granted no peace save on terms
that mean the downfall of all
he has stood for. He and his
ilk deserve the dose they have
administered unto Belgium.
No matter if thousand popes
should ask for quarter there
should be no peace until the
allies have gained their goal
completely and the world be
made safe for decency and
democracy.

In connection with liberty
loan publicity in this state let
it be hoped the Portland com
mittee in charge will treat the
country daily press fairly. On
some propaganda work out Of
Portland during the war the
policy has been to give the
stories to the Portland press
fifst, then to send the matter
to the country dailies with re-
quests for publication. Ne
cessarily such requests are not
well needed for no newspaper
wishes to used warmed over
news. The proper way to
handle this subject is through
release date stories in accord
with the practice of the feder-
al government when news mat
ter is sent out from Washing
ton. D. C. c.. C. Chapman
should be sufficiently familiar
with newspaper methods to
know how to get the best re-
suits.

DIVISION Of j. s.
COURT IN STATE
SEEMS CERTAIN

According to advices from Washing
ton, received by members of the bar
at Prescott, the movement looking to-
ward the establishment of a new dis
trict United States court to serve the
northern tier of counties in the state
lis rapidly taking form at the national
capital.
At the present time the dOckets in
the single branch of the federal
court in this state are so crowded
with actions of various sorts that it
is a physical impossibility for one
Judge to give his attention to all of
them. and the establishment of new
judicial district appears to be not only
desirable but also highly advisable, II
the volume of business in the higher
court is to be handled with any de-
gree of efficiency. Judge Sawtelle is
at the present time one of the hard
est worked jurists to be found in the
ranks of the federal judges. and but
little time is allowed to elapse be-
tween the sessions of the United
States court.
In view of the fact that the naming
OF the judge who is to preside over
the new district is left in the hands
of President Wilson, it is considered
more than likely that the plum Will
fall in the lap Cs some faithful ad-
herent to the principles of democ-
racy, and one who resides in the
northern section of the state. In max
ing the appointment much thought
will of course be given to the qualifi-
cations of the appointee and it is
said that the powers in whose hands
| lies the privilege of naming the new
| Judge have intimated that the appoint
ment will go to one of the several
superior judges in the tier of counties
which will be under the jurisdiction
of the new court.
According to the statement of one
of the prominent attorneys of this
city. Judge John Ellis of the Mohave
superior court seems to be in line for
| the appointment on account of the
fact that he is both a democrat and
iurist whose rulings have come to
command a great deal of respect from
the legal fraternity in all sections OF
the state. In spite of his youthful.
ness-Judge Ellis is but 80 years OF
age-he has occupied the bench in
Kingman for the past three years and
1 So h.
other thirteen counties of the state
to hear complicated cases in instances
where the sitting judge has been dis
qualified and prevented from trying
the action. II is said that practically
all of the member of the Prescott
Bar association have signihed theH
intention Of indorsing Judge Ellis FOL
the new position as soon as the op
lportune time arrives.

THE SOLDIERS DOG

Bruce doth watch the whole day long
At the turning of the lane,
Where for mile on misty mile,
One may see the highway plain.
Down that highway, months ago,
Bruce's master marched away;
All the world TO Bruce seems strange
Greatly changed since that sad day
Autumn's leaves have fallen sere,
Winter winds blow cold and chill
Bruce, with coat all white with snow
Watches for his master still.
When the frosty twilight falls,
Weary, cold, with heart that yearns
For the sound of loved voice,

But the dog his watch must keep
