RABBIT CAGES H|DbOOzE;MAN
 SHOT IN FLIGHT

Shot by Deputy Sheriff Marks after fistic encounter with the officer who attempted to arrest him, Guy P. Wads- worth, alias James Jones, was taken into custody at o'clock yesterday morning at Glendale. In the arrest of Wadsworth, whose wound is not seri- ous, the authorities believe they have in charge one of the cleverest boot leggers operating in the valley. Ere quent trips to the coast brought Wads- worth under suspicion, but when he stepped from the train at Glendale yesterday morning, there was nothing about his person to suggest violation of the liquor law.
 The man descended to the platform with a rabbit cage in either hand, but even this camouflage did not serve it's purpose, for Marks seemed to sense that beneath the straw floor of the cages, where the rabbits nibbled at harmless greens was a secret con- partment containing liquor. Eleven pint bottles were in each cage, and a trunk containing several cases also was claimed by Wadsworth as his property As Wadsworth alighted from the train he was met by the officer who informed him that he was under ar rest. Wadsworth resisted and when Marks drew his revolver he put up a strong fight Grappling for possession | of the gun, the men fell to the ground,

MANY GRIEVANCES
 ALLEGED IN SUIT

Seeking to recover s5,100 damages from F. A. Gillespie, E. A. Gillespie and the Red Rover Copper company, G. J. Earl is the plaintiff in a suit now on trial before Judge Perkins of Coconino county who Is sitting in division one of the superior court.
 Earl claims that he had an agreement with the defendants to haul freight to their mine, and that after he had been employed ten days they refused to per init him to do the hauling. He alleges that he went to the expense of purchas- ing horses, a strong wagon and full equipment and has been compelled to sell the outfit at a loss. He had an offer to work in Pinal county, but the defendants chattel mortgage made it impossible to leave the county with the outfit.
 As a further claim for damages, he alleges that he was ordered to stop his team on a dangerous road and when again ordered to drive up, the wheel ran over his left foot. J. J. Cox and A. Y. Moore represent the plaintiff and J. E. Morrison and F. Louis Zimmer- man the defendant

AMERICANS QUICK
 IN MAN POWER GALL
TRepubIlcan AZ. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Evidence of the success of emergency measures to bring American man power to the aid of the French and British armies n rcpelling the German drive came today with the announcement that American troops had reached E1and- crs5 and gone into training behind the British lines there.
 Official reports were lacking to- night, but Secretary Baker and army officials accepted press advices tha. the first contingent of the forces to be brigaded for training and opera tions with the British army had ar rived. Soldiers from General Persh- ing's army have been in line witt the French and British in front o1 Amiens for some time but the de- cision to send additional forces from this country direct to the British army was made after the great Ger man drive launched March 21 was well under way.
 Less than two months has been re- quired to get the first of these troops across the sea into position.
 Total Number Unknown
 Nothing is available at the war de- partment to indicate the identity o. number of the men in Flanders. Il is probable, however. that the na- tional army regiment reviewed re- cently in London by King George Is included.
 The infantry and machine gun units of the division to which that regiment was attacked probably con- stitute this first American force to appear in the Flanders theater.
 The men, it is noted, are described as being "in training" in the British zones. That is taken here to mean that they are being brigaded witt British divisions in reserve and vii get their final seasoning quickly through this close association witt theg British veterans. Unless a greai emergency arises when the German assault is renewed, it is not regarded as probable that the American bat talions will be employed on the from line for some time.
 The immediate result of greates importance probably is that the bat talions of British troops displaced il these divisions by the Americans vii be available to fill other divisions tC full strength or for the organization of new British divisions, as Genera Ilaig deems best.

 Dashes For Liberty
 Wadsworth, after inflicting an es- pecially- severe cut on the officers 8 face with his heel, made a dash for liberty. Marks struggled to a sitting position and emptied his gun at the fleeing man, one of the five bullets taking effect, passing through the left hip.
 The wound was not so serious but that Wadsworth could continue his flight had he not been stopped by a blow from a club in the hands of one of the many men who had gathered in response to the calls of the officer. Stunned, Wadsworth awaited arrest and is alleged to have admitted that he was ready to take his medicine. His wounds were dressed by a. Glen dale physician, and later he was brought to the county jail and given further attention by County Physician A. B. Nichols. It was not necessary to remove Wadsworth from the county jail because Of his condition.

AT END OF GLACIAL PERIOD
Geological Authority Makes Deduc.
tions From Shrinking Of Great
-.-~ Ice Cap at the South Pole.

DR.. Marsden Manson of San Fran.
cisco, an eminent authority on geology,
points to the fact established by re-.
cent Antarctic explorers that the great
ice cap is shrinking. From this he
draws the conclusion that the gradual
subsistence of the Age of Ice Of which
the polar ice caps are the existing
remnants, is still going on and that
we live, so to speak, at the tail end of
the glacial period. He expresses the
conviction that the same succession
Of geological climates has prevailed
IN Antarctic as in other ATTITUDES, and
says that the evidence collected in re-
cent Antarctic explorations is corrobo-
rated by the comparatively recent I'M
covering of temperate land areas and
the progressive retreat of the snow
line to higher elevations in temperate
and tropical ATTITUDES and toward the
poles at sea level. He comes to the
conclusion that the disappearance of
the Ice Age is an active present process
and must be accounted for by activi-
ties and energies now at work. He
considers 1t as proved that the rates
and lines of retreat are and have been
determined by exposure to solar en-
ergy and the temperature established
thereby and by the difference in the
specific heat Of the land and water
hemispheres.

The Unexpected.

An amazing instance of the unex.
pected happening at the front
ended in a French and German
pilot landing together. The French
man and the German were circling
and dipping for battle position.
Suddenly, the French pilot, think
ing he had the advantage, charged
his enemy from the rear. But the
German did not swerve sufficiently
and the left wing Of the French
machine struck the right-hand
struts Of the German. The collision
caused the French airplane to spin
around violently until it's tail whizzed
between the wings Of the German
and stuck. Apparently being too busy
or perhaps too astonished-to shoot
at each other, the opponents spiraled
side by side in a close embrace, ulti-
mately crashing into the boughs Of
some trees. Neither pilot was hurt,
so they clambered out, looking at each
Other-and the German was reminded
that he was prisoner.

Forestry After the War.

Nobody except those of us who have
seen something of life at the front
during the last four years can realize
what an enormous quantity of timber
has been taken from this country for
war purposes and what an enormous
amount of planting and tending Of
trees will be necessary to replace it.
Unfortunately foresters who really I'M
derstand all that afforestation means
are not numerous in England, and
though the necessity Of educating
youngsters for the work has received
much more serious attention in the
last few years than it ever did before,
when our methods-as in many other
things-were haphazard, the facilities
are still hardly sufficient to give us
enough foresters to cope with the de-
mand.-Westminste Gazette.
