The Spoilt Coffee
After half hour rest before dinner
at the Croix Dor. I felt ready for
the nights work, which was this
to drive about five or six miles down
the railroad to one of the entradning
points, and take charge Of the coffee
serving. I had two men with me, one
of whom had been up the night be-
fore and intended to sleep in the car,
and there was another man already
on the ground who also had been up
for thirty-six hours already, but who
proved to be the only one equal to
the strain of another night Disposing
Of our goods as quickly as possible
where we could hand them to the
men as they passed, we started in to
serve the coffee. But we had hardly
begun when tn familiar hum of
"Boche" machines in the starry sky
above us sent the major hurrying to
our shack to command the fire out at
once There being no water handy,
splash went the coffee, and the deed
was done. Then for an hour, we were
kept busy telling men who strolled up
that there was Nothing doing" and
the major did not want men to gath
er in groups They must keep scat
tered.
1t Was Great Fun
But at last, about 9 o'clock, we were
allowed to rebuild the fire. I wish
For me, it meant tending the fire,
smashing boxes for fuel, pouring Cor

renewing the supply, going after wa
ter, or anything that needed to be
done, meanwhile talking, joking, sing
ing, or whatever would best keep the
men in good humor. Not that I had
to try to do these latter things Every
body was IN good spirits, despite the
cold fog that had settled down, and
made the rehghting of the fire safe.
It was great fun, and when a, little
luI1 came, and asked someone what
time it was, thinking that it must be
about 10 o'clock, I was amazed to
hear that it was twelve O'clock! The
rest of the night wore along more
slowly. AS it grew colder, we let
those who would or could come in
and sit or stand around the fire. IT
was the one warm spot in all that
wide expanse of damp and chilly
ground.

two hours were Just endured and liv-
ed through by pure grit How much
that hot coffee, (and it Was-hot, If
nothing else) served to keep up the
spirits of the men through that trying
night, no one can tell. But the graft
tude of the men was expressed in
many ways, in acts of heIpfulness
rather than in words, and was gen.
uine and deep. The officers and chap
latns, several of whom came for a
hot drink and stood around the fire,
were particularly strong in Their ap-
probation of what this meant to their
men; and when the morning came at
last, and we had finished our break
fast with the men, who insisted that
we must share their mess, we return
ed to the city and to our work in the
warehouse, buoyed with the sense of
having had a share in one Of the big
gest jobs of our lives.
-Four Left Behind
The next day, Saturday, was large
ly a repetition of Friday, only the
boxes we tackled did not yield so
quickly to our touch, and we had to
stop more frequently to rest Had
not the train to Paris been late, we
should not have been able to get all
our packing done, and our trunks and
bags all carried to the station. But

last minute, all but four of US manag-

our seats for the first wink of sleep
in from thirty-s1 to forty-eight hours.
Those fouR chased the train in a mo-
tor truck from one station to an
other, Just missing it by inches each
tine, until they had covered so large
a fraction of the distance that It seem
ed best to come on all the way,
which they did, arriving here at
1880. I, with two others, came to
the Pavilion a fine hotel which has
been taken over by the Y. M. C. A,
and is being splendidly run for the
benefit of our boys on furlough. I
was fortunate enough to secure a room
and when at 11:15, I dropped into a
feather bede, between real sheets, it
would have taken thelarge8t squad

sailed the skies, or a dozen rs mile
guns, to prevent me from sleeping

1t has been a great experience, and
the best part of it is the insight it
has given me into the hearts of men.
I have learned more, in these last
three days, about the things that
make for essential manhood, the
things that really count in lie, and I
have seen the wheat sifted from the
chaff more thoroughly, than in all the
preceding three weeks.-CThe Inter-

SUNDAY STORMS DRENCHED ALL
 OF YAVAPA|
FOR THE FIRST TIME HIS SUMMER RAIN FELL VERYW VIII ERE; DROUTH IS DROWNED OUT IN COUNTY.
(From Tuesdays Dailv1


 Sunday nights storm was the heav jest of the season, but was relieved of any freakish actions in hitting on, , section and missing another, cover ing all sections with a drenchine downpour The elements seemed tc double up, breaking to the north ot : Prescott and also to the south, this { locality also receiving n generous portion
 Reports received yesterday morn ing at the s. F. P. & P. offices in this city stated that Ash Fork, cast iand west, had received a heavy soak ing, and along the line as far south as Phoenix rain reports were every where mentioned as unusual The storm to the north as well as to the south was Of long duration and as remarkable as it may seem, no prop ertv damage has been reported.
 Telephone and telegraph reports reaching Prescott yesterday were of the same tenor-happiness and re- joicing among farmers and range men. That every foot of Yavapai has been soaked deep is now admitted and such benefit is given as to insure to all industries an excellent outlook
 Individual reports are quite inter csting. J. w. Stewart who arrived yesterday from Williamson valley, said: ''I have been in the country now for A years, and the situation on the range today is the equal to that of the long ago; it cannot be beat"
 Former Supervisor ". c. Wing field, arrived yesterday afternoon from Camp Verde, and reported the country as now in fine shape, and while the valley has been soaked by heavy rains, Clear Creek, however re- ceived the bulk of the big downpour.
 C. P. Crandall, a mining man in the city from Copper creek yester- day, said the region had been swamp ed, but no cloudbursts fell.
 "A private telegram from Seligman said: Its all off with the drys: we are extremely wet up here"
 Fred LaJeunness, of Skull valley. says it was a good and big rain, and the dry farmer is now chuckling with glee over the outlook
 C. T. Parker, who had been look ing over conditions in the Congress Junction range region, said the storm was heavy and long, and had surpris- ed old-time residents for being so general.
 Dan Condron, of the Pickerell & Condron Garage, who was on Turkey creek Sunday night, after his return yesterday, stated such a storm he had not experienced in many years, and was unusual in lasting so long, in dicating that it must have covered large area of country.

Fl HAWORTH IS NOT ID BE A
 CANDIDATE
COUNTY ATTORNEY BE- LIEVES ALL YOUNG MEN
 SH OUL ID B E IN I'll E ARMY JUST NOW AND
 WILL ENLIST SHORTLY.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

2 NEIOHl utSudy baiE.b i County Attorney E. L. Hawortf yesterday issued formal statement in which he stated that he would not be candidate for the office during the coming campaign. giving as his principal reason that he believes that it is the duty of every able bodied young man to be in the ranks of the United States army instead of at tempting to be elected to public office.
 Mir. Haworth has made splendid record during his incumbency, and his friends had not questioned the wisdom of his making a race for the office at the coming primaries, and consequently his announcement of yesterday came as something of a surprise Mir. Haworth could un- doubtedly have the office again should he care to make the race, and his acquaintances who had hoped to have the opportunity of expressing their approval of his official conduct by giving him large vote, are nat urally a little disappointed, although they will instantly see the logic of Mir. Haworth'S viewpoint. Perry Ling his assistant will also enter the army, which leaves the field free for Alex Jones, who announced his can didacy yesterday.
 The statement issued by Haworth yesterday is as follows:

 Prescott, Arizona.
 Gentlemen:
 One of your members today ask ed me for statement as to whether expect to be candidate for the of flee of County Attorney at the com ing election.

I appreciate to the fullest extent the offers of support which l have received from loyal Democrats in this country, but I believe their efforts should be turned to the cleo ton of some man incapable of mili- tary service by reason of age or other I am authorized by Perry NJ.

SAYSHUN MONEY PURCHASED THE
 EVENING MAIL
NEW YORK PUBLISHER ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF USING GERMAN GOLD TO BUY UP CONTROL OF EVENING NEWSPAPER.
By Associated Press

NEW YORK, July S-Dr. Edward A. Rumcly, vice president and treas urCr of :hc Mail and Express Com p?n,-, publisher of the Evening Mail. was arrested tonight at the office of the attorney general, charged with perjury in his report to Alien Prop erty Custodian Palmer. The com plaint charges that Rumely in mak- ing his report of the transaction, fail ed to disclose his relations with Bern storff, the German ambassador, and Dr. Heinrich r. Albert, a commer- cial attache Of the German embassy.
 Attorney General Lewis has been conducting an investigation of the af- fairs of the Mail for some time. It is charged that Rumely purchased stock ;n the company in June 1917, from Henry l.. Stoddard, and in so doing acted in behalf of the German government. Lewis charges that Germany raid Rumely $1 ,36l 900 with which to purchase the Mail. the amount of the various payments be- ing concealed until investigators, lat CT uncovered the details.
 The bond holders of the Mail and Express Company will take posses sion of the evening Mail tomorrow morning: We will see to it that the Americanism for which we stand will be reflected in its columns" said Henry L. Stoddard, the president. A statement was issued late tonight by Assistant State Attorney General Becker who said: "Tl,c erti-c a,aount which went into the purchasse Of the Mail was derived from the sale of German war bonds in this country, and Americans furnished the money to acquire the paper which was to be used to spread German propa- ganda While the deal was made with Stoddard for the paper there is no evidence that Stoddard knew it was German money. Stoddard retired from the management and still holds most of the bonds When America declared war Stoddard threatened to foreclose unless the Mail expressed loyalty in every way"

PROHIBITION FOR WAR PERIOD
 IS LIKELY
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Legisla-
 ton providing for absolute prohibi-
 ton during the war was reported to the senate today after the agricul- tural committee agreed to drastic changes in the Norris amendment to the Sll,000000 emergency agricul- tural appropriation bill by which the sale of distilled spirits, beer and wine, except for export is prohibited after next. January lst and the manufac- ture of beer and wine stopped after November lst Prohibition leaders hope this section will be taken up tomorrow and are confident of vic tory on the final roll call. Strong op- position is expected because of the opposition of the shipping board of ficials. Under the amendment the removal of distilled spirits held in bond is prohibited after January ex- cept under regulations of the com missioner of internal revenue.
 Efforts of the administration to obtain immediate senate disposal of the house resolution authorizing the president to take over the telegraph and telephone companies stirred up a bitter fight. The resolution was buffeted back and forth between the committee and senate floor over question of hearings or hastening senate debate No decision was reach ed and the factions are prepared for a renewal of the struggle Tuesday.
