JUDGE SMITH RESIGNS
POSITION TO enter
WAR Y. M. CA. WORK

To accept the position of overseas
secretary of the Young Mems Christian
association, Judge Frank o. Smith, one
of the ablest jurists in the state, has
resigned his position as judge Of the
superior court of Yavapai county and
win sail before the end of the year for
France.
It was while Judge Smith was a
member of the first officers training
camp at the Preside chat the New
York committee asked him to consider
taking up the big service work abroad
and he was again approached by rep
resentatives of the organization who
urged his acceptance. Eager ID serva
his country in whatever capacity he
could be of the greatest service. Judge
Smith decided to close his affairs and
yesterday made the announcement o.
his plans at a meeting OF the bar as
ISOLATION in Prescott.
He will leave Prescott early in the
week and although the date OF his de-
parture for over there" has not been
given out ii is known to be some time
this month. He will pay his entire ex-
penses on thetrip across.
In the recent drive of the Y for wa
funds, Judge Smith served as Yavapai
county chairman and it was largely
through his efforts that his county
broke the record by subscribing more
funds per capita than any other coun-
ty in tie union.
He has served on the bench in Yav-
apai ever since statehood and his name
has been prominently mentioned for
the supreme court. He Is recognized
by the state bar as one o. its leading
members and is looked upon as one OF
the most brilliant Judges who have
ever presided over the courts in Arr
zona
After graduating with high honors
from an eastern university, Judge
Smith came west, going 10 Tucson.
where he became a member of the fac
ulty of the University of Arizona, oe-
cupying the chair of history and eco
nomics. Later, he went tn Prescott
where he practiced law. Six years ago
he was elected superior court Judge
and has been reelected every succeed
ing election Actively interested in all
betterment work, he has co-operated
with all movements that tended To-
ward this end He is staunch patriot
and when war was declared was one
of the first to offer himself fo- serv-

This disposition has ben suggested
by Gov. Campbell, who mas just re-
ceived a letter from II. p. McClain,
adjutant general of the army, approx
ing the plan. The letter recites: 1t
now appears that the large quantities
OF alcoholic liquors being confiscated
and destroyed legally in several OF
the states can be redistilled and the
pure alcohol in it thus be made avail
able for military uses. The advan-
tages of conserving such use by the

are, of course, obvious"
II is understood that the law may be
interpreted in favor of the proposed
