Mayor George Freeman of Nc Gregor, Ia. has resigned after paying a fine of $400 for alleged violation of the statutes prohibiting the importa- tion of liquor into Iowa. There is big heap of broken glass on the hill side near the town where state officers smashed up bottles taken from sixty five motor cars loaded with beer and liquors.
 Mayor Freeman operates a ferry be- tween Prairie du Chien. Wis, and Me. Gregor. Since the bone dry law went into effect in April the ferry business has doubled

SETTING CAULDRON
 AWAITS ADVENT 0F AMERICANS IN WAR
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, July 2S.-The arrival of the first contingents of the American army in France serve to recall the fact that the United States is entering war already old and wise-wise with the dearly bought wisdom of three long adventurous yeal sand steeped in all the diabolical wickedness that incess- ant delving into the deviltries of de- struction can bring to it.
 Having escaped the first terrors of weapons which German science had evolved through tOiling years of mili- tary preparation, the American diVl- sions will nevertheless plunge eventu- ally into a seething cauldron which has grown from the unavoidable policy of fighting the devil with fire.' They will have quickly to learn not only to take the awful German frightfulness with calm endurance, but to return it with an ever incr easing measure. In doing this many nerve testing and soul searching experiences undoubtedly lie before them. but there are already thousands of young Americans in the Canadian and British ranks who have proved themselves additionally worthy in the scorching flames of modern war.
 The American forces are fortunate indeed to be able to base their educa tion upon the bitter lesson learned by the French and British soldiers in all the eventful days that have followed that first rush of battle in 1914. Mar velloasly complete books of instruc ton have been builded upon those eX- periences and out of these the Ameri- can soldiers will glean the last-word knowledge that will fit them for the foremost trenches.
 First of all, when they take their place, will come the baptism of fire from the noisy black high explosive German shells that scream in from afar and burst with terrifying reports sometimes in most unexpected places. The Germans are great believers both in noise and high explosive. They even mix their adored HE with their shrapnel shells which break high in the air and send their bullets showering down with the whine of an angry win ter wind. The Americans soon will learn to distinguish the individual songs of the various shells for there is not the slightest doubt that the mo- ment he discovers they are in the line" the German will turn every available calibre of weapon against
 them in a flourish of introductory

 There will be little opportunity to hear Big Bertha" for those famous old 42-centimeter howitzers are seldom used nowadays, It is believed that the Germans planned to Lombard Arras with them, using prussic acid shells, but the British advance on Easter Monday last put stop to that par ticularly nefarious scheme against the

INVESTMENTS
 IN AIR CORPS'

While enlistments in the aviation some time ago, with Arizona well rep resented. it is again possible for young men to become connected with that branch. These later enlistments. how ever, will not insure instruction in ac- tual flying. The government now de- sires to recruit it's aviation section with the addition of skilled artisans.
 According to a bulletin just received at the local recruiting station by Ser geant-in- Charge Joseph Hannah, it is necessary for men for the aviation sec ton, signal corps. to have one of the following trades: Blacksmith cabinet maker chauffeur, clerk, cook, drafts man, electrician, engine repair man, engine tester, lithographer, machinist, mechanicians (airplane), metal worker, magneto repair man rigger, sailmaker, stenographer, toolmaker, vulcanizer, welder packer, stockmen, boat builder, instrument repair man. molder, pattern maker propeller tester. saddler, bugler, carpenter (boss), carpenter. painter, plumber truckmaster. cordage work man, gas works employe, tailor, skilled and unskilled laborer
 Enlstments are particularly sought of young men from IS to 21 years and from 31 to 40 years. In this connection attention is called to the fact that all men between the ages of IS and 40 years are eligible for enlistment in the United States army, irrespective of the selective draft designation of men be- tween 21 and 31 years.

 A justice of the peace was on hand and court was held on the roadside. The drivers pleaded guilty and were fined from s1 to $50 apiece. Seven truckloads of liquor were confiscated and emptied into a gully while the captured chauffeurs looked thirstily on.
 An injunction against further li- quor transportation was obtained against the mayor. He was fined s400 and his resignation accepted. w. Bergman, proprietor of another ferry known as the Snake boat" which plies between McGregor and an is land saloon in the middle of the river, also was arrested.
