COLUMBUS CAMP
Former Governor of Ari-

George ". P. Hunt. ex-governor OF
Arizona, was in FL Paso Monday for
a short time. en- route from Globe,
Ariz, 10 Columbus, y. NJ The exgov-
ernOr OF Arizona has been in the
Globe-NIiami field as concuiator for
president Wilson. and. having finished
his business there and made a report

the camp OF the ''wobblies7 at that
place
The prospects for successful medi-
alton in the GlObe-Miami district van
lshed last week when the members Of
the Western Federation Of Miners
voted TO continue the strike. The vote
stood 81 TO 231 for continuing the
strike and no man a member OF the
said, the vote being merely an ex-
preston OF the sentiment OF the West
ern Federation men unaffiliated with
the "wObblies."
The old Dominion is now operating
with 400 or 500 men, when its normal
number Of employed men IS about 800.
according to information from there
Every thing Is closed at Miami. but
plans are under way on the part Of
the mining companies to attempt re-
sumption OF operations at Miami this
week.
Mr.. Hunt has no advices as to num-
Der OF men working in the Warren
district or the Clifton Morencf district
the other two mining regions Of the
three districts affected most in Ari-
iona by the strike.
Mr. Hunt said he did not know what
he would do nor how long he would
stay at Columbus, as he would re-

hole nests and situated half way he
tween them are machine gun emplaCe-
ments which command the openings
between the nests. Thus If the at
lacking troops force their way
through the nests they are met by 4
deluge Of machine gun bullets. Still
further TO the rear is the first fire
line which may be some sort of a
trench or merely a chain Of shell holes
connected TO form a more or less
solid front. Even reserve troops are
sheltered in the shell holes
Germans Now Avoid Villages.
The villages. which present an easy
mark to the British artillery are be-
ing avoided by the Germans. An il
lustratiOn Of this was TO be seen at
Langemarck- The defences tbOut that
place were most complete but when
once the British had battered their
way into Langemarck they found very
few troops defending it.
Make Small Concrete Forts.
Back Of all this deep front the
Germans undoubtedly intend 70 en-
plOy the old system OF trenches bat

tinue these in turn viii unQuestiou-
ably give way TO the shell hole Sys-
TEN The Germans also have taken
advantage Of every farm house in the
construction Of strong concrete re-
doubts for machine guns. In many
cases they have constructed steel and
concrete forts, small but almost i'm
pervious to artillery fire
Some Are Entirely Underground.
Numbers Of these strOnghOlds are
built entirely underground. the only
exit being through a steel trap door,
by means of which the Germans come
out TO set up machine guns A large
number Of these redOubts have been
found 10 the east and north Of Yprss
and the territory over which the
French fought TO the left was mainly
defended In this way. Innumerabla
cases happened where the advancing
allies swept beyond the Germans con-
cealed in shell holes or in concrete
dugOuts- Invariably the British have
to put Up with shipping from the rear
but ultimately they account for every
German who has remained behind
Germans HurrOW Under Lens.
The defences within Lens and sub
urbs are striking examples Of the
German tendency TO depend more and
more upon large numbers Of semi
isolated EarrisOns rather than to mass
their men in trenches, where they
would be at the mercy Of the British
artillery. Lens is a city Of concrete
and the ground beneath is honey
Combed win tunnels. Almost every
building has been destroyed by the
Germans and the ruins have been for
titled with machine gun emplace-
ments.
Force Garrison TO Surrender.
So long as the Germans remain on
the defensive II is improbable that
they will return TO the methods of
warfare inaugurated when they swept

Artillery Causes Change.
This alteration has been brought
about by the ever growing prepon-
derance Of British artillery which has
buried the German front line trenches
under an avalanche OF shells and has
left the defences nothing but heaped
burrows of earth and has made the
famous dugOuts Veritable map traps
in which countless thousands have
lost their lives without a chance or
fighting back.
The continuous deIuge Of breaking
steel made repair work on the
trenches impossible and as the Ger
mans were gradually pushed back
they Of necessity were forced to in
vent another mode OF stemming the
ever advancing tide.

What has become of the old
fashioned man who used to carry
buckeye in his pocket to ward
off rheumatism?
The only luck many a seventh son
has is the pleasure of wearing the
cast-otf clothing of his six elder
brothers.
There are times when a man
needs a new hat and doesn't want
one. But it is SO different with
his wife.
Wasn't it remarkable how city
folks began to realize how much
farmers needed better roads when
automobiles came into general
use?
1t must be embarrassing to have
been divorced about nine times
and to have to sit down and frisk
your memory in order to make no
mistake as to which one of the
men you have married is now
your husband.

The old fashioned man who

you give her what she wants when
she wants it she will nearly always
want something else.

Don't Worry

If YOU have the habit of worry
ing occasionally about one thing
or another, do not fail to read the
following philosophy, evolved by
a Gallic soldier, that will stand as
classic for all time to come:
"Of two things one is certain
Either you're modified or you're
not modified.
fyou' re not modified there no
need to worry: if you're modified,
Of two things one is certain: Either
you're behind the lines or you're
on the front. :
If 'resbehind the lines there
is no need TO worry: if you're on
the front, of two things one is
certain: Either you're resting in q
safe place or you're exposed to
danger.
If you're resting in safe place,
there is no need to worry; if you re
exposed to danger, of two things
one is certain: Either you're
wounded or you re not wounded
If you're not wounded there is
no need to worry; if you are
wounded, of two things one is
certain: Either you're wounded
seriously or you're wounded
slightly,
If you're wounded slightly there
is no need to worry if you're
wounded seriously, of two things
one is certain: Either you recover
or you die.
| If you recover there is no neet
TO worry: If you die you can
