We had the pleasure Of returning
from Columbia on Wednesday after
from Columbia on Wednesday after
noon with Mr.. C. Y. Morris in his
Studebaker in company with Mr.. e.
s. Blease and Mr.. j. NJ. Morris. The
trip was made in two and half
hours. The roads are not good. They
are dry and very dusty, but equally
full of holes, all for the lack OF the
use Of the split log drag at the prop
er time. Just a little dragging when
dragging should have been done
would now find the roads excellent.
At Spring Hill we took the old Bun
combe road and came around by Ca
pers Chapel into Little Mountain
That is really the nearer route and
is better road. We understand that
it is to be worked and widened and
put in fne condition. 1t avoids, a
number of ugly hills and all the
road crossings of the railroad from
Columbia until you reach Little
Mountain. We suggested that this
road be adopted some time ago and
we are glad to learn that it is going
to be. 1t leaves out Chaplin but i,
seem that that community does not
care especially about a road from
there to Little Mountain.

The millionaires are offering tc
have their incomes taxed to hell
raise the money to carry on the war
That is right and proper. They have
made millions out of the war and
should be willing to be taxed to car
nv it on. If they are not willing they
should be taxed anyway. Some one
suggested that all incomes over $10.,
900 year should be conscripted tc
carry on the war. In these times
when every one is preaching econo-
my and the conservation of our re-
sources it does seem that family
might manage to get along on a meas
ley $4,000 a year.

The First regiment is made up OF
good soldiers. Many Of these boys
have left good positions to serve their
country. The last year has been a
practical loss to the individuals. many
of them, but they are not complain
ing and are viewing the future with
complacency, although it holds in
store for them nothing more exciting
than a summer spent in remote COM
munities on guard duty over private
property which bears a useful rela-
ton to the good of the country. The
newspapers are not permitted to print
anything definite about the movement
of the troops.-Columbia Record.
We are pleased to hear this about
the drst regiment. 1t has number
of Newberry boys in it and We know
they are all right and We are salts
fed that the others are also. It was
also our understanding that the
newspapers were not permitted to
print anything about the movement
of the troops but they do all the same,
that is some Of them do.
We do not see any necessity for
the guarding of some Of the places
where guards are placed but 1t Is
Just as we'll that the soldiers be dis
tributed out to do this work as to
remain in camp. We do not believe
there is any danger to private prop
erty in this section.

Mr.. Hoover who has been the food
distributor for America in Belgium
says that the total of food available
in the allied world is not sufficient
to last till September. Then why
should we listen to Mr.. Joffres to
send our troops to France before We
get something there with which to
feed them. They would make a poor
out fighting unless they had some
thing to eat. 1t seems to us that the
soldiers over there now would rather
see some rations coming down the
road than our soldiers waving the
flag and singing Dixie without ra-
tions. We know of course what We
say will have no effect, but we feel
the better for having said it. It is
all left now to the experts" and the
war council. 1t is out of the hands
of the people 1t is for them to obey
orders. And yet they are going to
fight for democracy, a rule OF the
people. To give liberty and freedom
to the world.

that Germany had lost 100000 Of
it's men in this war. The statement
is not made as to how many the al
hes have lost, but it is fair guess
that the number is not less. 1t is
also stated that in the last week
nearly a half million tonnage had
been sent to the bottom of the sea
by the submarines. And yet the
world is facing a state of starvation.
Truly, "if a new peace offer come,
proud Albion should not be too proud

Marshal Joffre. says himself that
his mission to America is to ask that
we send troops to France to fight
with the French and the other allies.
Just what We thought. We can not
get rid of the idea that it is none OF
our business just yet to send troops
to the trenches These commission
ers also tell US that there is no food
supply over there now for the troops
that are there. Why should they
ask to send more to be half fed and
starved Better try to get something
to eat. Or better still agree upon
some terms of peace and stop this
human slaughter.
We see it also stated that the war
council is considering the PROPOSE
tion to send the National Guard. We
can not get rid Of the idea either
that somehow We have had a regular
army for many years, and 1t seems
to US that in the first real fighting
this country is called upon to do that
it would be the natural thing that the
regular army should be sent to the
front instead Of the boys who have
volunteered, at least until the Tolun-
teers got a little seasoned. To send
raw troops to the trenches would be
just like sending them to the slaugh-
ter pen.
We are also under the impression
that when We declared war 1t was
because of the interference with our
right to travel the seas where We
please and it would seem that the
6rst thing We would be called upon
to do would be to clear the seas OF
the submarines. England has big
navy and we have always heard that
che was mistress OF the seas. but
since this war began We have not
heard much of the prowess OF the
English navy. And now these COM
missioners come over and beg Us to
do something to stop the terrible raw
ages Of the submarines. They viz
tnally admit that the submarine is a
terrible menace with which they
have not been able to cope. Why
should they think that America three
thousand miles away could do more
than their own navy.

The editorial which We copy from
the Charleston American, "For Hu-
manity's Sake" expresses our views
exactly. There Is an offer to come
for peace from the central powers.
If 1t is to come, no harm can result
from entertaining it. Why should
any one desire TO continue this hu-
man slaughter? Would 1t not be
better to stop the slaughter and save
some of the wealth and some OF the
lives, and let each country rule itself
in accordance with the Will Of It's
own people? Can democracy be car
ried by the sword? Is it not a two
edged sword that will turn democra-
cy itself into a bloody chasm"

According to Mr.. Balfour, what the
allies need is provisions, not more
mouths to feed. Are the bellicose
Americans who are chafng to join in
the scrap patriotic enough to sail for
the firing line and leave their ap-
petities behind ?-Anderson Mail.
But what about Mr.. Joffres? He
says he wants the men to cheer the
soldiers on and for the moral effect.
We should not think the moral effect
of an empty stomach would be very
cheerful.

 CAMP; MORE TODAY

Arizona started yesterday to say good by Co her soldiers who are to form a part of the new national army and whose certain destination is France unless the great war comes to an un- foreseen end before the spring of next year.
 The first men of Arizona to leave for the mobilization camp were those of Cochise county, thirty four of them, who entrained at Bisbee yesterday for Camp Funston at Fort Riley Kas. It constituted five per cent of the quota allotted to that county
 Five northern counties of Arizona will bid good by to their soldiers some time today when they entrain for the same camp in Kansas. These men Will go from Apache, which furnishes three; Coconino, three; Mohave. six; Navajo, five, and Yavapai twenty one men. Altogether. thirty eight men will go rom this state today for the camp.
 Glla will send twenty-six men. to- morrow, as will Graham, six, and Santa Cruz, five. The other counties in the state will follow on the succeeding days with their five per cent of the quota allotted to them.
 Housing good bys will be given tie men from Arizona by the people who gather at the entraining points to see them off Although they will remain in the United States for several months. yet It will be the last time many of them will see their relatives CT friends until after their return from France.

1t not time to recognize that the red blood in America demands that he shall safeguard himself and his fellow man or he ought to perish in the struggle?
 Now there are some people who have said that this question of the declaration of war should have gone to referendum vote. I wonder if there would be a band of a dozen or more men who would endeavor to surround the home in which you live and then demand your surrender or your property, and in the meantime, while you are considering the sub Ject. discharge their revolvers, killing your wife and your children-whether YOU would call meeting for the de- liberation of the subject and vote as to whether you should defend your self.
 We want peace. To ask the gov ernment of the United States now to specifically state the terms of peace IS to play, consciously or unconsci- ously into the hands of the enemy. At this time the military machine of Germany and Austria is upon soil for efgn to them. The military machine is in Serbia, is in Belgium, outraged Bel gium and gallant France. A peace at this time must necessarily be predi- cated in part at least upon Germany's conquest of these countries and ter ritories"

A young man who had just been drafted called at the office of Col Breen yesterday to inquire what might be done in his particular case He had called several times in the course of the day, but he had forgotten to state his case in all it's fullness. He was a member of the Amish branch, a branch of the Mennonites, opposed to war. He had forgotten p state that he had been a member of the crurch for eleven years. He feared that it might be suspected by the eX- emption board that he had joined recently, whereas he had been a mem Der long before it was found that the world held perils for democracy.
 The young man was told that his case already had been disposed of by presidential order; that membership in any religious denomination, what ever might be it's tenets with regard to war, could not interfere with. the operation of the selective draft; that members of such churches would have to engage in military service though they would be placed in non com = blatant positions; they wouldn't-have to kill anybody; they could -d1g trenches and gather up the wounded and perform various such Services without doing bodily injury to @the enemy.
 It was found that the youngs man already was in possession of a docu- ment defining his status in the. ruili- tary service and he was told that that was his guaranty that he would not have to shoot or otherwise injure Germans.
 He appeared to be greatly relieved as one who had performed a duty He said he had presented himself at the insistence of his father, and now that he had done all he could do to

 "Back, back, back from Flanders; back from Serbia; and hack, back from France; and then perhaps we may determine the conditions of peace, but not until then.

TIME CHANGED F0RDEPARTURE
 OF ] PER GENT

Announcement by General Passen- ger Agent A. R. Cater of the Arizona Eastern Railroad company that the first contingent of this county's se- lected men for the mobilization camp would leave Phoenix on Saturday morning at six o'clock instead of Sat urday evening at seven o'clock, as had been stated, disturbed seriously the arrangement for dinner to the men and their friends and a parade to the depot in which it was ex pected practically the whole popula- tion would participate.
 Mr Cater had been apprised of the change of plans by the general pas- senger agent of the Southern Pacific at Chicago, acting under orders of the quartermaster's department.
 What plans for the goodbye to the men would be made to meet this change could not be determined upon last night and it was decided that nothing could be done pending the arrival from the coast this morning of F. P. Cruice, of the Santa Fe, who has been designated by the transpor- tation association to have charge of the movement of the drafted men of Arizona.
 II was suggested that dinner De given to the men on Friday evening instead of Saturday evening and that a parade be arranged from the Wom- ans Club building to the city hall plaza where an address would be , delivered by Governor Campbell in stead of from a platform at the depot. It was shown that that arrangement would not add to the inconvenience of the men who live outside the city, since they would have to come to town on Friday night anyhow in | order to be ready to leave at an early hour in the morning.
 The committee in charge of ar engagements for the entertainment will
 annouce the new program in the
 Gazette this afternoon and in The Re
 publican tomorrow morning with such
 additions to it as may later be found necessary to make. An effort was under way last night to see if il
 would not be possible to restore the
 original schedule for the departure | of the men on Saturday night.
