ing their formal transfer to the Ameri-
can forces in accordance with the
agreement between the two govern
ments- Twelve OF these men, who
have seen at least two months actual

CORPORATION ADVERTISING MUST TESTIFY
 Ol| FACE ID NON-ENDORsEMEl|T BY ARIZONA

Refusing longer to be made the in- nocent tool to further the sale of stock or securities of various enterprises in Arizona, the state corporation commits sion yesterday took drastic action to prevent such schemes in the future.
 Ingeniously worded advertisements have been placed in the newspapers by concerns urging the sale of their stock or securities, it is stated, in which it has been made to appear that the par ticular stock has the endorsement of the members of the corporation com mission.
 By a resolution passed by the com mission yesterday, it was made imper- ative that all companies selling stock in this state under permits issued by the corporation commission and all concerns that in the future receive such permits and which advertise such stock or securities for sale must place at the head of the advertisements a plain statement to the effect that the corporation commission does not rec ommend for purchase the stock or se- curities of that corporation thus ad- vertised.
 The resolution is as follows
 Whereas, Chapter TX, Title 9, Re vised Statutes of Arizona, 1913, Civil Code. prescribes the manner and form for the conduct of the business of in vestment companies, and
 Whereas, paragraph 2263 of said chapter provides that every permit

Packing Probe Brings Out
 Interesting Facts With
 Regards to Methods of Packers Campaign Work
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

CHICAGO, March 15.-Alleged eff forts of Morris & Co. to evade certain tax assessments in Oklahoma; alleged efforts to defeat the Borland resolution which provides for investigation of the packing house industry; the retaining of former Senator Bailey to oppose the suit of the state of Texas to oust the packers and some of the troubles of Swift & Co.,, with the sale of bad eggs were among the features of the federal trade commissions meat inquiry today.
 The principal witness was M w. Borders, who for fifteen years was counsel for Morris & Co.,, and for the last IS months counsel for Wilson and company.
 Personal Feeling Shown
 During four hours, in the course of which some personal feeling developed between witness and Francis J. Heney, attorney for the commission, MT. Bord- CTS added no material informat ton to the records. He identified a few of the persons referred to in letters read by Mir Heney, but his memory failed him. he said, on many points. At best, when his previous knowledge of transactions was shown in the correspondence. MT. Borders, unembarra ssed. said that the l letters spoke for themselves. Take Fancy to Assessor l According to the letters, Morris & Co. were anxious to be on friendly terms with whomsoever was elected assessor at Oklahoma City, where they had erected a plant in competition, Mr. Borders said, with the Armour and Swift plants at Fort Worth, Texas. They were threatened with an assess ment of s1.000,000. or $5O0,00O more than the year before, and gave much consideration to the forming of a will lage with their own village government on the outskirts of Oklahoma City.
 A letter of November 4, 1916, from Mir Borders to H. H. Hutchings of Oklahoma National Stockyards con- l for assessor:
 Play Both Candidates.
 T do not believe that Carrico will want anything but support but Offutt will need all that he can get. In any event I want the friendship of both ot these men so that we will be with the winner, and I want you men on the ground to be sure that this is brought about"
 It appeared that $90 was expended ir the assessors campaign and that after some discussion as to operating it the sum was deemed so small that it was CIldI Scu OkldHO1ud Slly SlOCh- yards company.
 Knowledge not Specific
 F Mir. Heney tried to gain from Borders admission that this was only part oi the expense, but the witness, disclaim- ing specific knowledge, said large sums never were spent. and that Mir. Heney in the end would find that the $90 rep. resented the entire expenditure. | MT. Borders memory was hay as tt the alleged connection with the Texa.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Unnec- essary articles sent by relatives and friends to American soldiers overseas are taking up so much transportation space that drastic curtailment of the parcel post privileges to the fighters in France will be necessary unless the public co-operates in decreasing the volume of this class of mail.
 The postoffice department in making this announcement tonight, said trans port reaching France this month car ried, beside ,9S0 letters, 335,840 pieces of parcel post and newspapers. the whole taking up 12,000 cubic feet of space, although weighing only 121A tons. The parcel post packages and newspapers filled nineteen French rail- road cars, badly needed in France for war purposes.
 To Inspect Packages An inspection of the packages for the soldiers, the statement said, showed that two- thirds of the articles are on General Pershing's canteen list and sold to the soldiers virtually at whole sale prices. Other articles found in cluded a bouquet of flowers and a baby outfit as well as a bottle of WhiskeY and other unmailable and dangerous matter such as matches, solidified al- cohol and cigar lighters.

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

That peace terms have been offered Great Britain by Germany may possibly be inferred from several significant statements given out Friday. Lord Robert Cecil, British minister of block ade. when asked if proposals had been received for a peace at the expense of Russia" answered that mo such proposals are being considered or will be considered" A little earlier in the day an Amsterdam dispatch quoted Field Marshal von Hindenburg as say ing that "the entente has shown an unresponsive attitude toward Ger manys peace intentions and the great German ffensive C,uN, there, go on." -
 Later in the day General von Luoen- dorff the German quartermaster gen. eral was reported as saying: Since the enemy is not inclined to make peace, he will have to fight, and this fight will. of course be the most tre- mendous of the whole war"
 German Is Confident
 General von Ludendorff continued: "We are stronger than the enemy as regards men, material, aerial forces and tanks. Everything in fact, of which he boasted is standing in readiness on our side in the greatest abundance. It is admitted that offers of peace have been made to Serbia by Austria Hungary and Bulgaria, but it is stated that Serbia has absolutely refused to consider them
 Ratify Treaty in Russia?
 The treaty of peace submitted by Germany to Russia at Brest-Litovsk which makes Russia an outpost of the central empires has either been rati- fled by the all-Russian congress oi | soviets. or it's ratification apparently is imminent.
 Holland stands in a perilous situa- i ton. according to the German news papers. which are printing editorials evidently inspired. on the taking over of the Dutch ships by the United States i and Great Britain. Drastic measures are advocated if Holland gives way to the allies.
