OF DEFENSE BEING PUT IN

End OF the War, or at Least Until
All Danger of Submarine

Washington. Naval conveys for

Indications We're given at the depart
ment that the convoy system for coast

the end Of the war, or at least until
all danger Of further submarine raids
on this side of the Atlantic Is re-
moved.
Taken In conjunction with uncon-
drmed reports from neutral countries
that the German high seas fleet Is pre-
pairing for a major stroke against allied
commerce generally, the information
gives an indication of the steadily ex-
panding prograntof defense being put
into operation against further raids.

Daniels, twill be maintained so long

HIGH RENT CHARGES ID BE INVESTIGATED

The committee appointed by the State Council of Defense to adjust the matter of rents in Phoenix met Mon day evening after hearing from Wash ington, their deliberations resulting in the passage of a resolution that will probably solve the problem of alleged high rent charges.
 In substance, the resolution provides that all complaints of that character may be made to r. w. Griffen, chair man of the committee, in writing. All the facts must be stated at the time. The complaints will be investigated by the committee. If it is found that the landlord may have charged extra ordinarily high rent, the matter will be placed before the adjustment commit tee, consisting of William Roer, F. w. Griffen and w. l.. Barnum.
 Both the landlord and tenant will be called before this committee and the evidence heard. If it is found that the rent to be charged is not too excessive, the case will be dismissed | If, on the other hand, the complaint seems to he justified, the landlord will | be requested to make an adjustment to be decided by the committee. Upon l his refusal to do so. upon patriotic | grounds, his name will be given to the oewspapers for publication without comment.
 By this method of procedure, ad. vised by the Council of National De fense, upon request from the StatC Council it is hoped to secure an annie able adjustment of all such cases as may arise within the state.

TH|RTY-ONE OFF ID
 OFFICERS SCHOOL

Thirty-one class 1 men left at 6:2O o'clock last night over the Santa Fe railroad for Salt Lake City, Utah, to enter an officers training camp. These men all volunteered out of their turn in order to get into the contingent. The men were registrants of the drafts of 1917, and June and August of 1918.
 Logan Stillwell was made train cap- tain of the contingent and he will be assisted by three leaders or special military police, Basil Hom9 Wilky, Roy Pohle and Harry F. Westfall. An item of interest is the fact that young Wilky, is son of Sheriff w. H. Wilky who is chairman of the local board.
 Basil Wilky is just within the age limit. He registered in August last after reaching his Fist birthday. The sheriff has another son in the service Frank Wilky. who is now in France. Frank Wilky went into training at San Diego and left there several months ago with his regiment for France.
 Members of the contingent that left last night were sworn in as soldiers at o'clock yesterday afternoon. There was no entertainment for the contin- gent and only friends and relative were at the train to bid them goodby.
