La Toilette Would Bar Guns.

Continuing his opposition TO Presi-
dent Wilson's policy in breaking with
Germany. Senator R. NJ. La Toilette
has introduced a joint resolution pro
viding: THAT II shall be unlawful, at
a time when the United States is not
at war. for any merchant vessel Of
the United States to be armed. and 10
depart from a port OF the United
States or any OF its territories or pos
sessions, for a port of any other coun-
try, its colonies or possessions.
It is indicated that the navy depart
ment, while opposed for military rea.
sons to any project Of conveying Amer
lean merchantmen, favors furnishing
such ships with guns for their. own
defense. In as much as the govern
ment has recognized that naval stores
are the only supply Of naval guns, it
has been held that obtaining guns
from that source does not alter the
private or commercial character OF a
ship.
The enforced idIeness Of the Amer
lean merchant feet is viewed with
growing disquier. and the general view
here is that not only the export trade
but the nations standing before the
world demands that American vessels
continue TO ply the high seas without
regard TO the German proclamation.

FROM SIBERIA TO TUCSON

Among the recent arrivals in Tue son from the war-swept plains of Rus sia is E. Adalar, a native of Poland, says the Citizen. In the late drive that Russia made against Germany through Galicia, Adalar was picked out of the multitude of prisoners as the huskies> man and was shipped over to the salt mines in Siberia. along with his wife.
 Shoveling salt did not appeal to Ada lar in the least and the first opportun- ity that presented itself Adalar escap- ed and sailed for San Francisco. Ar irving at the city of the Golden Gate, news came to him that the mines in Tucson were calling for iaDorers, so lifting his trunk onto the train he came to Tucson.
 He applied for a job with the Silver Bell people, his chief recommendation being that he could speak seven Ian guages and could out work any horse. He was quickly hired and sent out to the mines If there is any increase in the output of the ore from Silver Bell the credit can probably be placed on Adalar.

 It is understood that the syndicate, which has heretofore planned to lease the grove for year, with privilege Of renewal, is now considering the pur- chase of the entire property outright, The lease called for only the east half of the property.
 It probably will be several days be- fore the plans of the new syndicate are complete and ready for announce ment.

WILL WE HAVE TO
 WEAR WOODEN SHOES

In view of the abnormal conditions of the leather market not only in this country but in every other coun'ry of the world, the suggestion which has been made in London for solving the shoe supply problem is of great in terest. A London clog maker doing a big business says that clogs are com ing more and more into vogue.
 Hundreds of London school children are now wearing clogs, which cost about three shillings pair (about 75 cents), and London County Council school teachers have been providing clogs for ill-shod pupils. who have been paying for them by weekly in- stallments of three pence.
 "The price of leather states a writer, may make it necessary for the city man of the future to chatter to business in his clogs.
 For country wear one can buy an elegant pair of lace-up clogs at quar- ter of the price of equally efficient boots. Apart from the attention that they would attract, there is no req son why these should not be worn in town There is nothing undigni- fled in the clog worn by the Lam cashire or Yorkshire textile worker. and not few of the captains of the British textile industry have them selves worn clogs, and some at least would not be ashamed to wear them again.
 "The present home demand in Great Britain is so great that an order for 100000 pairs of sabots for the British government has just had to be declin- ed by British clog-making firm, which received an award for its clog show at London exhibition"

ALLIES FELL
373 PLAINS IN JULY.

Jacques Mortane. the great French authority on aerial fighting, author of Thrilling Flights of the War, and Ell itor of La Guerre Aerienne, a weekly aviation review, has written for Lc Petit Parisien a full account of the aerial activity of all the beliigerents in July. M Mortane has given me for the Chicago Daily News the following z data concerning the aerial activity in that month:
 "our aviators destroyed, or forced to land in a seriously damaged eondi- tion, 373 enemy airplanes in July.
 That month was particularly active for all aviators and the following fig ures will give some idea of the cap ital aid which the aerial army render ed in the last month.
 The English aviation corps de stroyed lSS German airplanes. four ob- servation balloons and seriously dam aged 115 other machines. French avi- ators destroyed thiriy-seven enemy airplanes and two observation bal looms and forced forty-four German machines to land seriously damaged.
 Italian aviators counted fifteen victories and the Belgians i've, two of which were credited to Lieutenant Thiry. The allied armies at Salon iki destroyed five enemy airplanes. In Russia six were brought down and in Rumania. one.
 "The allies admit the following | losses:
 "The British. ninety-two machines destroyed. the French two. the Russi- ans two, and the Italians one. The English war office always announces the full aviation losses. The other al- lies do not.

AS MAN TO MAN

Der or a tightwad. objects to paying high prices in a real town where wages as we'll as the prices are high But there is a limit to everything. A town can run wild as we'll as an auto that is cranked up when the clutch is not thrown out. An oyercharge al ways has it's reaction
 It is said of him that seeks blood. that. he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword" The town that goes on high price rampage shall surely suffer from it When men go money mad they also go to the mad house. If conditions in Bisbee really warrant exorbitant prices, then these conditions are wrong and should be rectified.
 At second hand prices the newspa- per mans trunk might have brought fifty cents. That would allow two dollars for it's contents, and that is placing them pretty high in the mar ket. With gasolene selling at a dol lar a gallon and chauffeurs working for ten plunks a day, the price would still have been high. If the newspaper man ever has any company from abroad he will buy a wheelbarrow and push their trunks out to his home and thereby realize more on his labor and his time than he has ever been able to do since he was born into the world.

THE YOUNGEST
 PIONEER OF
 COCHISE COUNTY

It was awful hot one day last week Everything went wrong for the news paper man. Creditors knocked on his door and debtors passed by on the oth CT side. Enemies beset him and friends were far distant from his side Worries. cares and disappointments ringed him round like he was a may pole trimmed in black.
 With bow step and a shuffling walk he made his way from the street car running behind schedule, down the street of Lowell to the office of James Brophy. He was after a favor, and from the trend of events on that un fortunate day, he did not expect to re. ceive it.
 But it is a long lane that has no turning. At this point the newspaper man left the dust of the road and en- tered the pleasant meadows. Jim Brophy, short of stature, strong of body. red of face, keen of eye and great of heart, arose from his chair and smiled a greeting and shouted a welcome that quickly drove all the newspaper mans cares away.
 Long may he wave, this product of the Emerald Isle. The newspaper man is strong for the Shamrock. Its bril- liant green never fades nor does it's fragrance die. The fight, flavor and friendship of the ould sod stay with 1t always.
 The man with the brave greeting and the bright smile never knows how much good he does upon this gray old earth. Weary come and stand before him, spent from their journey and broken by the blows of the world. This man himself may be heavy-heart- ed. He, too. may have fought hard that day, and not always with success. But he draws on the reserves of his unbeatsn heart and he summons the unfailing treasures of his gay. game, gallant Irish disposition and gives them to the guest at his door as though he were his fathers son.
 They say that Jim Brophy came to Tombstone in 'S1. The newspaper man don't believe it. He is too young. He wasn't born in 'S1. He has the spirit and freshness and hopefulness and sunny soul of broth of boy that had never known a care in the world beyond keeping some Galway cattle stealer from making off with his sweetheart.
 And even if he did come to Cochise in 'S1. this Brophy, the newspaper man will maintain with his last breath that he is the youngest pioneer in the valley.
 Did the newspaper man get the ia vor. the quest for which caused him to knock at the Brophy door? That's a foolish question. The greeting made him so glad that he forgot what he came for.

Gems From the NeWs Field
PAUPER ARMY IS
THAT OF SERBIA.

THAT OF SEH6lH
 There is no upholstered car at the Serbian front for the use of a cores pondent, says Herbert Cary. Even King Peter had no car for time Prince Alexander had car, but at the moment his staff had none, and so his car was used for staff errands. Vol vode Mischitch, the genius of the Mac edonian campaign, rode in tin Lizzie Serbian officers below the rank of gen eral rode in box cars on the single track railroad that leads to Monastir unless they knew a military surgeon well enough to beg ride to the front in an ambulance.
 All this is not to be wandered al, for the Serbs are the poor relations of the allies. In land where it is so very hard to get the barest necessi- ties for living and fighting, the distact kinsfolk can hardly expect luxuries. Correspondents travel just as colonels do when they visit the serbs. Box cars became familiar to us.
 You must have a tent" I had been told at the Serbian headquarters.
 So I got a tent which was so small that was forced to back into it, like . prairie dog. My head made dome Tn the roof when 1 set at work on the typewriter.

PRICES THAT ARE AS HIGH AS
 A CATS BACK

The newspaper man was writing an editorial in which he was conveying to his own satisfaction, the burning thought that Bisbee was a better place in which to live than New York He had made his argument and was standing by to clinch it with one final sentence that should be a hammer stroke. when-ting-a-ling-g-g, went the telephone. It is ever thus. The tele phone breaks in upon the council Of kings and the thoughts of common men alike.
 The calling party proved to be the newspaper mans wife. and in bitter accents, she broke the news that the drayman had charged two dollars and fifty cents to transport battered old trunk from Bisbee to Warren. Sacred name oi Shylock, the Jew of Venice The newspaper man was sore for the rest of the day. He finished that edi- torial in a lame and halting way. like a man with a crutch would finish a relay race that had been started by the fleet indian lIOrpe.
 Two dollars and half a dollar, In the city where the newspaper man came from one could hire plate-glass piano-finish, deckle-edged. sixty horse power limousine de luxe an hour for that sum. He lived six miles from the depot, in his old home town, did the newspaper man. and the husky and cheerful drayman back there charged seventy-five cents for hauling a trunk to his home. and smiled over a profit able job when he took the money.
 Two dollars and half dollar, At the same rate it will cost the newspa per man five hundred dollars to get his household goods moved to Warren. Al the same rate for everything that must be bought throughout the month the newspaper man will have to negO- tiate a bond issue and mortgage his next years salary and sell stock in 8 blue sky land deal and poison his rich aunt in Boston on the chance of being remembered in her will.
 An auto will go to Warren and back in but little more than half an hour. At five dollars an hour this fes- tive and fortunate drayman will cord up his shining dollars at the rate of about forty per day. It beats the writ ing game to death. In fact. it beats the banking business and the railroad business and any other old way of ac- cumulating wealth, all hollow.
 And it will also beat a town. High prices are a handicap that will hold back any town and offset all the work that commercial association can do. even if 1t works nights and Sun days. That is. exorbitant prices will do this. No man. unless he is a cheap sport or a short horse or a back mum

HOW GERMANY'S CHILDREN WERE TAUGHT "HATE HYMN

You know that in the schools of Germany at the outbreak of the war the teachers were ordered by the gov ernment ro teach all the little children Lissaeur's Hymn of Hate" against England, said Rev. Willard L. Sperry of Boston. It would seem that Ger many has since come to a better mind, and has repented of this sacrilege committed against the souls of her lit tie children. For now, we are told, the |teaching of that hymn of hate has been stopped, and Germany is trying to erase from the memory of it's child hood the evil and fsteful lesson that was taught at the opening of the war. It is too late. The lesson cannot be unlearned, the memory cannot be erased. Teaching children to hate was a sin against country and God. as grave as the crime of the "Lusitania." That was poisoning. the wells. That was
 mortgaging the soul of the future.
 Over against that grim and evil pie ture which has come to us out of Prus- sia, let me put another picture, full of promise for the future of our own coun- try, of all the world. In the course of my parish work I came the other day upon little child. lying out upon the floor reading an open Bible. found that she was reading the Sermon on the Mount and she told me that her teacher had asked all the children in her school to learn the last verses of the fifth chapter of Matthew, about loving enemies and forgiving those who do us i'll, and she said in her naive way, We have to do that, don't we, because that is what God does to us?" And my heart went out to some loyal teacher somewhere in this city who has seen the vision and heard the call, who is trying to fulfill in some class room her high calling as Christian and a patriot. And know that in the figure of that little child lying on the floor learning the neglected words of Jesus lay the true hope of the world.

4 CLASSIC OF COURAGE

Another game fair played. fair lost. Another castle burst in air;
 Another counting of the cost.
 And from the world another dare. "The same old Hope Fate never whips. The same old Faith that knows no
 wear:
 The same old smile upon my lips. And in my heart the same old prayer"
 The above was written by Dempster O. Murphy of St. Louis after the de- cision by the officers at West Point that he could no longer stand the strenuous preparatory course at the academy on account of an asthmatic affiiction. The editor of the Review. who is proud to number MT. Murphy among his friends. knows that it was the ambition of this young mans life to enter the army as an officer and a gentleman. He had only been at the point two months when the physical breakdown came under intensive train ing methods.
 The young mans courage only stiff. fened under this great disappointment and the beauty of his character re- mains still the same. The lines. pen ned above, might we'll serve as shin ing light for all young men who reel back under the blows of what to them seem cruel fate that they cannot conquer.
