when they begin to meddle with the complex politics of foreign countries that they into trouble From time to time amused the comments of foreign newspapers on American political events. Perhaps American newspapers are as muddling when they discuss foreign events
 But the most ridiculous thing we hayes seen is the following observation by MT G. K. Chesterton's paper the New Witness, the New York mayoraty fight:
 The result of the election of the mayor of New York is very important from the Ally point of view. Mir Hyian the successful candidate and Ha nominee of Tammany, is strong supporter of the war and an opponent of all those highbrow tenden cies which link up with pacifism and find their eI presson in the pages of the New Republic His defeat of MT. Mtchel, the hishbrow candidate who stands for prohibition in its worst forms to have been expected; sensational victory, however, is Tammany's triumph over the third can didate. Mir. Hillclift he calls himself, is mil ionaire and had the backing of the German vote in New York. This senemans original Hikovitch' and the two million Germans in New York, not unnaturaIly, gave him their support Hill kovitch's complete collapse at the polls shows very plainly that New York has no sympathy with the stop the war policy and will not have German ism at any price Indeed the determination of the New Workers to carry on the campaign to a success fu conclusion, shown by the return of Mir Hylan, is of immense value at d time when it is more than necessary to stiffen our resolution On this side of the Atlantic in America in this country, one inevitably finds that. pacifism and prohibition nearly akn and congratulate New York having overthrown the representatives of both the accursed things.
 How such a conception of the New York situation could have been formed cannot possibly imagine certainly not from reading of the New York news papers during the mayoralty campaign. The New Witness editorial writers must have carefully trained from such perUsa and gathered their ideas of the campaign from returning Englishmen whose information concerning it must have been gathered from casual overhearing of street and street conversation. ...

FACULTY GIVES
 F|NE PROGRAM

A most pleasing musical event was the program presented last evening a the Arizona School of Music by mem- bers of the faculty. Heinrich King enfield; although a stranger to Phoenix audiences having but recently taken the position of violin teacher with the school. won admiration from the first tone of his violin and held his hearers through every number, thoroughly con- vincing them of his ability as a player of the violin as well as being a great teacher and director of orchestra.
 Frank Ronald Evans assisted at the piano and easily demonstrated by his artistic aecompaniments that accom- panying is an art attempted by many, but attained by few
 The work of MT. Evans was as per feet and fitting to the soloist as any one who ever has appeared before a Phoenix audience in that capacity.
 Sara Ward Hetherington's readings were so varied as to suit all lovers of expression Her voice is clear and dis tinct, and in the interpretation of her selections she was at all times pleas ing

NOW REPENT|NG
 AT HERLE|SURE

Mrs. Grace Shindlebower whose husband, Frank Shindlebower three months after their marriage had her brought into the juvenile court charged with being incorrigible and a neglected child yesterday instituted divorce proceedings in the superior court.
 The couple were married April 19, 1916, and in July Mir. Shindlebower asked that his girl-wife be made ward of the court on the ground that she was beyond his control. He said she left her home for that of her parents and refused to return.
 In her divorce complaint Mrs. Shin dlebower alleges that she left her hus- bands home for that of her parents because she was forced to leave through fear of losing her life. She claims this prompted her to swear out a warrant for the purpose of having Shindlebower placed under peace bond. While under arrest she alleges he came to her parents home and threatened to kill her. She charges that Shindlebower escaped the officers and went to California.

A Hun Waterway

We have just received suggestion by telephone from lady reader of The Republican. It relates to purely local matter and touches upon worldwide activities only incidentally. The lady says she would not deract from the latter at all They may be pur sued ntensiyely as ever She speaks of the saving of babies in which we are all so greatly and properly concerned; the saving of Belgian babies French babies and the babies of all nations in dis tress. Also. reader suggests, while we about it, the saving Of Phoenix babies from the Salt River canal.
 We do not know who our reader is; perhaps mother whose baby the canal has claimed, for it takes yearly toll of the babies of Phoenix. The list is horribly long one. We think that if the babies which have been so lost within the last twenty five years were cataogued authorities would be mortified that they would hasten to do something to keep the list from growing any longer.
 We cannot say that they have bean quite idle. Tor ten years they have rcen talking and perhaps evHn ctualiy thinking aoort it The ,e nova of the canal has leer proposed likewise the covering of so it cannot reach out and claw our babies in but nothing has yet been done.

We cannot shout them down by declaring that their knowledge of babies is theoretical and not personal Perhaps our babies yet lack something of perfection. But have them and should take of them the while we join in the hue and cry for the Better Baby.
 These imperfect babies have are worth con- serration if for nothing else for the love and affec ton that have been lavshed upon them. But as a war measure they should be conserved If this war lasts five or ten years, as well it may we will need every baby

RIVAL UTILITY CASE 1S HEARD

Rival public utility concerns of No gales were represented yesterday in a clash before the state corporation com mission. The application of the No- gales Electric Light, Ice and Water company for permission to issue bonds was opposed by the Arizona Electric Light and Gas Company, also of No- gales.
 These Nogales public service con cerns never miss an opportunity to clinch in legal battle, it is said, and every move of one is opposed by the other. The Nogales company desires to issue bonds to refund short time notes and to liqudate book accounts all to amount to about sl00,000
 The Arizona company declares that such use of bond money would be ille- gal that it must, be for new consuuc- tion or the purchase of new equipment and- not for replacement which, they argued, should be taken care of by a depreciation fund.
 The matter was taken under advise ment by the commission and also is to be held open to permit Benjamin H Fergusan. engineer for the commission to examine the plant and books il necessary. of the Nogales Electric Light, Ice and Water company.
 The Nogales company was repre-. sented at the hearing yesterday by Judge Selim M. Franklin of Tucson o. E. Titcomb, merchant and banker of Nogales and one of the owners of tn, Nogales Electric Light and Watel company, appeared as witness for tha company.

A Rule O Thumb

It is not because Col. F. s. Breen, fellow citizen, worthy and well qualified, has been deprived of the rank of major in the national army that we disap- prove the rule by which he was limited to cap taincy and which he has declined The rule is a foolish and unheard of one that military rank should SO by population; that only states which have population of not less than 100000 may have majors while those with smaller populations must be con tent with captains. If this rule were logically ex- tended in both directions, New York Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois would furnish the generals of our armies and Arizona, Nevada and various western states would contribute the corporals. Other ranks would be appointed states of intermediate pop ulation, brigadiers. coonels, majors captains and leutenants Then state under the operation Of this rigid rule could be heard complain that it has been uniustly treated in the distribution of military honors.
 AnotherNWay in which the department might have simpliffed the making of officers and have relieved itself of the tedium of inquiry as to the qualifications of candidates for appointment might have been adopted. It might have been decreed that only bald-headed men should have the higher ranks, gray haired the next higher; that majors should have black hair captains red hair and lieu tenants and commissioned officers should be far-hared youths. Or all these matters might be determined by pecuarites of the nose or other facial features or by inequalities Of stature-anyway, by some fixed, definite system.
 Such population rule as that of which Colonel Breen has been apprised if adopted at the dawn of civilization would have given the world very diff ferent military history. Hannibal and Caesar of course, would have been given places on the stage one from Carthage and the other from Rome Napo- leon would have remained unheard of at Ajaccio and Arthur Wellesley, Irshnan would not have become the Duke of Wellington The civil war would not have extricated Grant from the wilds of Illinois, Comparatively few of the who have made mi- tary history could have emerged from obscurity
 The department suppose is proceeding under the law of averages. On average there ought to be more good material for any given rank in population of 100000 than in a population of 30OO00. But why make population of 100000 the headline? We think know what the Republican Publicity Association of which Mr. Jonathan Bourne is the spokesman, will say about it. The association will say the purpose to create majors in the southern states Every southern state except Florida which has mostly northern population, is above the mark though many of them pass it by only nose.
