Toyanna GuliHtless
Importing Peace
With F air Japan

S. Toyama, young Japanese en-
gagged in farming along the Christy
road was brought before Justice De
Souza yesterday charged with ne
glecting to take care of his waste
water with the result that that thor
oughfare was flooded. An investiga-
ton showed that Toyama was not to
be blamed for that and that case
against him was dismissed. But the
court having plenty of time on hand
and this being good opportunity,
thought it would be we'll to look into
any connection Toyama may have
had, if he had any, with the late
American note to China which has
threatened the relations between this
country and Japan and which the
state department claims was garbled
either in New York before the trans
mission or after its receipt at Toxic.
Toyara claimed that ne had moth
ing to do with the garblins; that it
would have been far from him to do
any such thing; that he desired that
the friendliest relation between the
United States and his native country
should exist. Moreover, he had not
lately had any correspondence with
Toxic on any subject, and still more
over he had never heard of the note
and didn't care anything about it,
only he was sorry if any trouble had
been caused by it.
On this showing, Justice DeSouza
dism ssed this count also.

LAND IS BASS IN
HALF HOUR PERIOD

Evidently the warm weather of the
past few days has aroused the appe-
tite of fish in Roosevelt Lake, accord
ing to reports received here yester-
day by the Pinney & Robinson COM
pany, well known sporting goods firm.
Bass are especially hungry, it was re-
ported
One party of anglers, according to
the report. succeeded in landing Is
bass. weighing a total of 76 pounds,
within a period of half an hour. 1t is
admitted that the above is some fish"
and some story" but it was never
theless the report sent down from
Roosevelt.
1t is generally conceded, however,
that it has been a long time since
fishing has been so good in Roosevelt
lake as at the present time Several
excellent catches are being reported
each day.

The following telegram from w. S.
Clifford, director II the National Council
of Defense, was received yesterday, and
the state council are arranging to i'm
mediately assist in every way possible
in speeding up enlistment as sug-
gested
1t is generally believed that as the
young men of the nation who have been
registered, realize the probability that
thew will be selected for service that
many of them will volunteer before the
selective draft commences:
Dwight B. Heard,
Chairman Arizona Council of Defense.
Attention is called to the recruiting
situation of the regular army of the
United States. Only 100000 men have
been recruited out of a Iull quota of
800, 900. There has been a very serious
falling off in the number of recruits
which, since registration day, has
dropped from 1000 per day to 1,400
throughout the entire country.
The recruiting officer in charge of
your district has been instructed by the
war department to get III touch with
your council. The Council of National
Defense hereby requests you to CO.
operate with such officer and to aid in
every possible way to speed up the work
of recruiting.
Prominence should be given in locai
newspapers to a campaign for recruits
and the aid of speakers bureaus or 9TH
er means of publicity should be enlisted.
Particular attention is called to the fact
that men between the ages of Is and q
and 81 and 40, inclusive, are eligible
for enlistment in the regular army as
well as all men who registered for mill
tdry service.
Men engaged in professions or trades
necessary to prosecute the war should
not be enlisted. 1t is exceedingly i'm
portant that the regular army should be
recruited to its full strength with the
least possible delay and we rely upon
you to impress the public with the
urgency of the situation. Please report
progress.
(Signed) W. S. CLIFFORD,
Director Council of National Defense.
Dwight B. Heard stated yesterday
that in addition to complying with the
request of the National Council Of De-
Tense to assist in recruiting the regu-
lar army, he felt it very essential that
a vigorous systematic effort should be
made throughout the state to fill up
the First Arizona Infantry by volunteer
enlistment Ne stated That sixteen
hundred men were still needed, and that
unless the regiment was recruited to
full strength by August there was a
strong probability of it's DISARMAMENT
which would leave the state without a
regiment in the national army, and
added that state pride should stimulate
US to give our best efforts to fill up
the First ipf9rtrv.

At the Hip

The Hip has a program today that
the management thinks is the greatest
Saturday offering since the Hip be-
came one of Arizona's best conducted
theater.
A western drama of the kind they ali
like despite the fact that the west is
prone to forget that it was once the
home of the bad man, the adventurer
and the pioneer. 1t is called sBill
Brennen's Claim" and if it We're not
known as one of the best of western
pictures. Neal Harris name alone
would stand for its excellence for ne
is an actor without many equals and
no superiors in the camera ranks.
And as if Bill Brennen's claim.
were not enough, the management has
provided another combination that
would be considered by some picture
houses, as sufficient for one daily wish.
Clara Kimball Young supported by
Earle Williams in Loves Sunset" a
dainty story of domestic felicity that
has been styled one of the best pic
lures the gifted Clara has made.
Add to that a comedy of the big
W brand and one has a fine mixed
offering with every angle of appeal
from the well acted love story, to a
smashing western idyl and d comedy
thrown in for good measure.
Tomorrow Mary Miles Minter, ali
sent from the Hip screen for several
weeks, returns in her newest picture
The Innocence of LiZett."
