Counter Attacks Fail,


But the next day Passage had his re-
venge, after du Plessis had carried the
trench Of Weimer and its neighbors in
the Blois Hassoule, and his famous troops
swept in two hours through Hardaumont
Wood, seven lines of trench and the
formidable work of Bezonvaux, after
which they stormed the village itself,
taking several thousand prisoners. Violent
counter-attacks by three new German
divisions in the next two days failed to
retake any Of the captured ground, and
all the original objectiyes of the battle
were held excepting the .Chambretes
Farm.
I have kept the best story about this
battle to the last. 1t was important to
take the Chambrettes Farm, because it
was now the only point from which Ger
man artillery observers could see the
Fort of Douaumont, and the Chaufour
and Caurieres woods. The Germans were

This has been called a railroad war.
Americas preparation for such a war
is a greater railroad mileage than
that of the entire continent OF .Eu~
rope, and a railroad army of 1885,
900 employees. Already the railroads,
modified under their War Board at
Washington, have won some impor-
tant victories.
Up to November IL the number of
carloads of construction materials and
furnishings brought into the National
Army cantonments was 7e,124. To
the same date building supplies used
in the Guard camps amounted to 3d.
$40 carloads; and 9,649 carloads had
been shipped into the Aviation
camps.
A standard box car of 100000
pounds capacity is forty feet and six
inches long. If all the cars carrying
material for these three classes of
camps could be coupled together the
train that would result would extend
from New. York to Chicago and on
out to Evanston, Illinois.
That is long train 1t repre-
sents great burden added on to the
task accomplished by the railroads III
the record-breaking year of 1916. But
the carrying of construction materials
to the environments is only a small
part Of the total increase in traffic for
1917.
After the camps had been built, the
railroads had to move the men into
them. They have also had to carry
to the Atlantic seaboard, from all
parts of the country, the men who
have gone to France. Up to Novem-
Der 10 they had carried a total of
100000 soldiers to camps and ports
of embarkation.
And after the men have been
moved, the railroads have to carry
supplies to them. Every day $500
hauled to the National Guard and
National Army camps alone.
Up to November IL, a total of IT,
900 carloads of freight had been han
died for the Shipping Board. This
figure represents a part of the traffic
involved by the building of 1,4OO,-
new ships. An enormously greater
number of cars have rolled down to
Atlantic and Gulf ports loaded with
supplies and munitions for ships al
ready built to carry to France and
England and Italy.
All modern military and CONNER
cial activity is based on coal and
oi1-but especially on coal. No fig
ures reveal more clearly the extent Of
the increased effort put forth in the
last half year by America generally
and by the railroads in particular than
the figures on the coal traffic.
In the six months from May to
October, inclusive, there were moved
10000 more carloads of hard coal
than in the same months of 1916,
and $4,000 more carloads of soft
coal. Figuring an average coal car
at length of 33 feet the total in
crease for half of 1917 over the cor
responding half of 1916 may be rep
resented by a solid trainload of coal
extending from New York through
New Orleans, to Los Angeles and on
up the Coast to Seattle and then East
again to point in Montana, 80 miles
East Of Butte.
The day is past when it was the
good citizens duty to fight the rail-
roads. The railroads are doing their
best on tremendous job. The citi-
zen can do part of his bit by help
ing them in any small way that he
can

one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the Skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce OF waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone pho1-
plate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with dull, aching head or
nave furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation, are assured of pro-
nounced improvement in both health
and appearance shortly.

 Before the Leach Motor con- pany of Los Angeles, San Fran cisco and other points, established its branch in Phoenix, repre- sented the concern in this state, and in it's interests toured the state in Liberty car for more than a year. In view of this truth. I feel that 1 am in a position to say that no other one public movement in Arizona is more desirable or nec- essary than good roads campaign.
 To some it may occur that ad- Vocating the expenditure of large sum of money for this purpose while the country is at war is an unpatriotic thing. To me it appears pears to be quite the converse. Conservation, economy, and the cheapest and most efficient handling of products constitute the meas ures which shall contribute to this nations success in the world war
 California, famed for it's soil pro dues, perhaps has the best roads in the country. They in California realize that good roads are abso- lutely essential to their well being and the unhampered development of natural resources. To one who has toured both in California and Arizona, the difference in the re- spective highways of the two states is peculiarly noticeable. And to one who knows that Arizona's treasures of the soil, both mineral and agricultural exceed in value

PIERCE ARROW E
 CONTAMINATED BY
 DOUGLAS AUTOISI

The most exclusive highest priced aristocratic motor car has arrived in Douglas. It is d new Pierce-ArroW, sold to D. A. Richardson by w. F. Shey. Pierce-Arrow salesman for Rabbit Poison company of Phoenix The car has attracted more attention than the British tank which is on it's way to Montreal, Canada, and those Douglas residents who have been proffered the privilege of riding in the car are unanimous in their ap- probation and cOmmendation.

Shey picked a beautiful French grey car out of the stock at the Fl Paso distributing point and hauled the purchaser all the way from the Texas metropolis 10 Doug las. The Judge declared he had never enjoyed anything so much in his life life and said that a ride in a Pullman car could scarcely have been more pleasurable.
 Not alone has MT. Richardson's car attracted the attention of all Douglas population, but the newspapers is well have caught up the cry and 5rs shouting the praise of the new Pierca as the following from Douglas pa per will testify:
 ID. A. Richardson's new Pierce-Ar- row car was the exposure of all eyes on the streets today. It's the first { Pierce-Arrow ever owned in Douglas 1 and such a luxurious type of autom1- bile perfection that motor fans gazed | at it with longing eyes.

TRANSCONTINENTAL
 JUNKET MADE WITH
 STEER IN TONNEAU

Everyone who drives an automo- bIo must first learn Co steer it. but a new kind of steering has been dis covered by John Haynes California rauchcr, who passed through Phoe- nix one night this week with ycarling Hereford in the tonneau of his Oldsmobile eight"
 Haynes raises fancy cattle on his golden state ranch. Recently he re- ccived an order from an eastern concern for the delivery of one of Es year old Herefords. After ne- godatiug several days with the rail- road company to obtain transporta- ton. he found that a delay of several weeks. due 10 the heavy shipment ot other more important cargoes. might prevent the consummation of the deal in which there was a tidy sum involved.
 'G didn't want to wait for the rail- road company to make up it's mind, and since I had never been east, l just thought l would load Dlr. Bovine in the car and deliver him myself" said Haynes
 Haynes declares the calf was a trifle restless the first few days and tore at his moorings with such Vigor as to almost upset the car during tho first stages of the journey, but fIAaly became acquainted with the sudden lurches of the car over the crooked and somewhat bumpy roads. 'I think he will be a confirmed motorist before We reach the end of inc trip,' said the rancher. be cause he indicates every day that he likes it better"
 So far as can be ascertained. this Is the first time in the annals of the motoring world that feat similar 10 that which is being per formed by Haynes has been at tempted. Haynes did not stop in Phoenix, but drove on through.
 Aside from a little damage to the cushions of the rear seat and a bit of varnish knocked off here ? there, the car is in perfect condition No engine trouble was experienced during the entire run thus far

BY E. P. HUGHES

Manager Leach Motor Car Compan,
 After attending several meetings of Phoenix automobile men, in- cluding those of garage men, ac- cessories dealers, and motor car distributors, and noting the deter mined stand in favor of better roads which is being taken, I feel that it is incumbent upon me to cite some of my personal views which may in some measure aug ment the movement.
 To say that I am heart and soul in sympathy with the proposed i'm provement of as great a mileage of Arizona roads as is possible under present circumstances would be superflous. 1 am vitally and keenly in favor of any betterment which may result from the combined eff forts of automobile dealers and the general motoring public. Were not, 1 would not be writing for the good of the cause.
 It would scarcely seem becoming for one who is not entirely familiar with the conditions he seeks to remedy, to publicly advocate im- provement. To correct any misun- derstanding on this point, I wish to say that I am intimately in touch
