THREE GENT LETTERS COMING NEARER
 WITH NOV. 2ND.
Postmaster Bailey Receives Instructions as Regards to tn e Increase In Postage. Postal Cards Two Cents.

Full details of the Scent postage plan inaugurated as a war revenue measure are contained in orders re- ceived yesterday by Postmaster T. R. Bailey of the local office. On and aft CT November a rate cents for every ounce and fraction thereof will be charged on letters leaving the city. All letters addressed to persons in the city will be delivered at cents. The postcard will be raised from 1 to cents.
 The instructions received indicate that it will be impossible for the gov ernment to supply Scent envelopes or the new 20 postcards in sufficient time to supply all demands for some time to come, and these probably will not be sold until the old supply of 2-cent stock is exhausted.
 Until such supplies are received it will be necessary to affiX 1-cent stamps to the 2-cent envelopes or a 1 and a 2-cent stamp to an ordinary envelope and a 1-cent stamp to a 1-cent postal card to obtain delivery after November 1.
 There has been large demand for 2-cent envelopes of late, evidently un- der the misrepresentation that the old rates would obtain until the present supply of stock was exhausted. The local postoffice emphasizes the point contained in the orders that the Scent rate will be rigidly enforced for alt outside letter mail.
 The orders indicate that postmas- ters may now take their acquisitions for Scent printed special request stamped envelopes of all designs and in all listed sizes with the exception of manila. The prices of the new en- velopes will be the same as for 2-cent plus l cent.
 There is one point that l would like the Review to make clear to the public" said MT Bailey in discussing the new orders, "and that is that all letters mailed with insufficient post age will be held up. If the return card is given. the letter will be re- turned to the sender for additional postage. If this is not given, then the addressee will be notified and asked to send additional postage re- cuired {"

Preston Fletcher Meets With
 Fatal Accident

Preston Fletcher one of the old res idents of the Warren District, acci- dently met his death yesterday about noon by falling off a wagon he was driving in the Sulphur Springs valley and breaking his neck. Fletcher was on his way from his ranch in the val ley to that of Lee Johonovich and was driving along the road and from ap- pearances discovered there, his team became suddenly frightened and turn ed off the road and he was thrown out of the wagon and struck on his head and in such a manner as to break his neck The team ran ont to the ranch of Johanovich and was found there by the people at the ranch. They started back over the track made by the team and after going some distance came upon the body lying where he had fal- len from the wagon seat.
 A message was sent to Lowell and Coroner Winters vent down to the scene of the accident with the jury, ex- amined the body and the surrounding premises and will meet this morning to render their verdict.
 Fletcher was a resident of the Wa-- ren District for over twenty years and was at one time engaged in the mer- cantile business and afterward went inro the transfer business and had a team at work in Lowell up until few months ago. A few years ago he took up homestead in the valley and has been spending part of his time at work improving it. He leaves wife and three children, one of whom is a daughter married to L. Spaulding of this city. He had many friends in the district who will regret to learn of his death.

ARIZONA TROOPS MAY BE IN FRANCE BY
 EARLY NEXT YEAR
Will Be Moved From Funston to Ft. Houston a n d Then Eastward Toward French Trenches.

| From the best advices now obtain
 able the Arizona troops now at Camp ! Funston will be given a 16 weeks course in military training in this
 country. The men composing the
 34Oth Field artillery will probably | be transferred to artillery ranges within two or three months and all | the troops after Is weeks course
 training will probably be sent to mill
 tary training camps in the east to re- place those now there who will by that time be training behind the lines in France.
 One delay follows another in con centrating the drafted men at the 16 National army cantonments. While it was announced originally that the cantonments were to be ready the 1st of September, and while all of the | 6S7,00O men were expected to be in camp by the first of this month at the latest, not one of the 16 military cit les has been actually completed as yet. and there is little hope that all the men will be assembled by the 1st of November
 General Crowder is still waiting TOT orders as to the physical examination of the 5000, ,000-odd men liable to the draft whose names were not reached while the examinations were being conducted to secure the men for the first National army. Plans are being outlined and will be placed before President Wilson as soon as they are completed. The general has been in formed that the physical examination of the 6.OO0,OOO or more men will be ordered shortly, but the date has not been set His office is inclined to believe that the examinations will start about the middle of November The boards will proceed until all of the men have been examined. It is realized that the men liable to serv- ice should not be kept on the fence much longer, and, too, that the ad- ministration may know how many men it can rely on to make up the second and third National armies. Probably more than 10000 900 of the 10000 OOO,0O0 conscripts will be accepted. Figures on the first National army are not ready for publication as yet. but it is believed that approximately one in every four or five men exam ined was accepted. Some of the boards took practially every other man, while others passed only one man in ten. The figures. as soon as they are all in, will be turned over to the census bureau to be compiled.

The American Telephone & Tele- graph company and its associated companies, forming the Bell System, announces a subscription in behalf of themselves and their employees for five million dollars of the second Li. berty loan.

Declare Officers
 M On tue Game

Notwithstanding that they were driving an automobile which they claimed belonged to the chief of DO lice of Nogales, and that they said the officers of Nogales, civil and military, had been fixed" so they could bring the whisky in, five soldiers, members of the machine gun company of the Thirty-fifth infantry, stationed at No gales. were arrested by Deputy Sher- fir Percy Bowden early yesterday morning on G avenue.
 q According to the sheriff's statement, he approached the automobile. which was standing in front of the Arizona garage on G avenue. and asked the men what they had in the car. It Is said the men promptly replied they had whisky which they were bringing from Rodeo. One of the men, ser geant. who seemed to be spokesman for the outfit. is reported to have added:
 "It's all right, though. This is the chief of police's car, and we have everything fixed with the authorities so we can take the whisky into NogaIes and into the camp
 The men were taken into custody as were also the automobile and the whisky. Ii is claimed there were l2 cases of whisky in the car, represent ing a value of about 5000. The sol diers were turned over to the mill tary authorities at Camp Jones and will be tried by court martial at an early date.-Douglas Dispatch.

HILLMAN REPLIES
 ID ATTACKS MADE
 ON TOBACCO MEN
Says That Average Man Crit icizes Wit h out Knowing Causes Which Necessitated Big Increase In R e ail Prices.

Championing the cause of the to- bacco retailers, H. S. Hillman has re- piled to the attacks made upon that body of men in the district for the increased retail prices now in effect. Hillman says few laymen realize that tobacco products have been constant ly advancing since the first of the year, keeping step with groceries and dry goods. However, grocery and dry goods merchants increased their sell ing prices as their buying prices went up, and although there has been anl advance of over 40 per cent in these two necessities, the gradually increas- ing selling prices during the past eight months was an easier thing to swallow for the average man than the sudden jump in retailed tobacco.
 Faux Pas of Merchants
 Although many of the merchants throughout the country did advance their prices, in the majority of cases these prices remained the same to the consumer Among the best sellers. 90 per cent of all tobacco products are controlled by the tobacco trusts. They prescribe the prices at which their goods are to be sold. and they set the margin of profit for the retailer. With the first advance and with the second advance in prices. the dealers squirmed; but their retailing prices. arbitrarily, remained the same.
 Then the government stepped in with its increased revenue tax. and tobacco products were hard hit. While the bill was pending in congress there came another advance in tobacco, and the dealers became frantic. When the revenue bill finally passed. collectors notified all dealers to take an inven- tory of the stock in hand, as it was subject to the tax.
 Cause for Increase
 The main point of misunderstanding between the dealer and the consumer is that the latter attributes the ,n- creased cost of purchasing the tobac- co to the ax, when, as mater of fact. the increased selling price must cover both the tax and the repetition of increases in purchasing costs.
 The Facts
 These are the facts of the case, says Hillman. They can be easily substantiated, he adds, oy comparing Bisbee prices with Los Angeles and n Paso prices which reflect Sle. prices all over the country. There is scant, if any difference, despite the fact that it costs considerably more to do business in the district than in the average city. The dealer mus make fair margin O. profit to exist. and fair margin of profit is all the dealer asks. For several months he has had no margin of profit, and now that he, in desperation. makes a move for something which is rightfully his the dealer resents attacks made upon by unknowing people who are not ac- quainted with the circumstances.

ARE YOU 4 MORAL
 "SLACkER" OR ARE
 YOU BACKING LOAN?
Tendency is to Let the Other Fellow Do It," But There Can't Be An Other Eel low" During Wars Dura- ton.

This is the thing that has caused so many failures, so much misery so many deaths-'1etting the other fellow do it." From the fall of great nations down to the smallest person al accident it is this policy that has been responsible for so many of the troubles of the world Time after time ''the other fellow" does not do it. The Liberty loan is a case in point. It is absolutely useless to re ly upon the other fellow, because the amount to be raised is so enor- nous that it will take the combined self-denial and effort of every max woman and child in this country to provide the money.
 This leads naturally to another thought. It is not enough that we merely subscribe We must see that our neighbor subscribes, because if he falls down. We ourselves shall sui fer, even although we may have done our share.
 There are just a few people left in this country who say let the rich man find the money" When the government has had it's needs supplied, the rich man will not be so rich; his taxes will be enormous, and many a wealthy company strug s-gling with the high cost of every thing they use in their business, in addition to their taxation, will have a difficulty in securing profits for their shareholders. The profits Of those making war supplies will be cut in half, at least, by government action. Again We must remember that our wealthy men invested mil lions and millions of dollars in the loan last time and will do it again. The average citizen must realize that the wealthy man is doing his share, and that it is to the farmer, the merchant and the working man that the country look for a large share of the subscriptions to the present loan.
 If you say let the other fellow do it. the loan will fail, we shall be disgraced in the eyes of the world, the resistance to Germany of our allies may break down and the most terrible thing in the world will happen to us-conquest by Germany. This would mean taxation beyond kuman endurance, national disgrace and having to work for German mas ters for years to come.
 The Germans are not willing "to let the other fellow do it." Their boys of 14 and their old men of 50 are serving in the army, their women and their children are going short of food; they are giving up almost every cent they possess in order to beat this country. Surely we have more patriotism than the Germans, more sense-if not, then we deserve to be beaten.
 Call in and see your banker and ask him whether this article con- tains the truth. He will tell you that it does, and will agree that it l is a fatal thing in this great na- tional crisis to '''let the other fellow do it"

CORNED WHALE AND GREENS
This Is Latest Item on Bill of Fare
Suggested by New Method of
Treating Sea Mammals.

To Gustav Adolf Holzapfel of Leip-
zig, Germany, patent has been grant
ed that suggests the culinary possibili-
ties of the meat of whales, seals, wal
ruses and other mammals of the sea.
1t is entitled Method of Making the
Meat of Sea Mammals Fit for Food"
and is described as follows in the Pat
ent Office Gazette:
'"The art of producing a meat food
for human consumption which consists
in subjecting sea mammal meat to the
action of cold water and warm water
IN alienation, then subjecting the so
treated sea mammal meat to the action
of an aqueous picking solution con-
tanning common salt, sugar and pun
gent alcoholic liquor, and a savory
vegetable, then subjecting the SO
picked sea mammal meat to pressure
operative to eliminate more or less of
said picking liquor, together with ex-
tractive matters offensive to the TASTE"

Missions Do HeaIth-Work.

The Christian forces in China are
becoming increasingly effective in
their efforts to improve social and SAM
tary conditions in Chinese cities. The
Young Mems Christian association has
been conducting health campaign in
Hangchow. The abbot of the large
Buddhist temple in central China in
vited Mr.. Turner, the secretary, to re-
peat his lecture on sanitation in the
temple. There were more than 100
priests and about 200 villagers to hear
the lantern lecture on sanitation. Mr..
Turner distributed tuberculosis story
calendars-the story of two brothers;
one followed the laws of health and
lived to good old age, the other did
not and died of tuberculosis at an early
age. A week after the lecture the alb
bot of the temple came to the associa-
ton bringing with him two priests to
become members. These men represent
much of superstition and yet have lat
ent power. They are now friendly
with the missionaries and may become
Christians.

MWhar,s the sneeret2,,

Daniel Willard, president of the q.
& O., and the man President Wilson
has chosen to organize industry for
war, will tell you about trip he
once made to see his father up in the
fine old Vermont town, soon after he
had acquired the 1897 and was justly
proud of her. He had expected the
big new private car to make quite a
hit with his father But the older rail-
reader made few comments upon it.
He inspected it carefully, opening all
the table drawers and locker doors.
Finally he turned squarely upon his
son.
Daniel" said he, "whar's the
speeret?'
He had drifted into the old-fashioned
name for liquor once used up in the
northeast corner of the land, but Dan
lei Willard understood. He knew that
his father was thinking of other days,
of the official cars that had once
swept disdainfully by the little depot
at Windsor, and he replied:
'sNot now, father; they're not rail-
reading that way nowadays" Every
body's Magazine.

Wireless Telephone.

The war has been the means of in
PRODUCING many scientific ventures. On
April II, 1916, Secretary of the Navy
Daniels wrote President Theodore N.
Vail of the American Telephone COM
pany with reference to testing the pos
sibility of the use of the wireless tele-
phone at sea. The resulting tests COW
cred period of 40 hours, beginning at
%. M. on May 6 and ending at 8 a. III.
on May 8, 1916. During this period
all communications of the navy de-
partment were on war basis. The
results are said to have been very
encouraging. John J. Carly, who has
been actively concerned in wireless
telephony, said: There is no navy
in the world which has the power of
the United States navy to mobilize In
stantly it's resources through such a
system of communications" Some
ships OF the navy already have in
stalled the wireless apparatus.
