DICK HICHFIELO FACES SERIOUS
 COURT CHARGE
Meets Young Girl at Bowie, Takes Her to Globe and Then Brings Her Here as Daughter

Dick Highfield, who is quite well known in this district where he has lived off and on for the past ten years, occupied a cell in the county jail at Lowell and on Monday will appear be- fore Judge High to answer to a charge of statutory rape, alleged to have been committed on the person of a little II year old girl, named Louis Belcn- er
 According to the story told by the little girl to the officers she was on her way from Santa Monica, Califor- mia, on a Southern Pacific train bound to some place in New Mexico to meet her father When she arrived at Bowie, she was informed by the con ductOr that his train did not stop at the place that she was to get off, and for her to stop over at Bowie and take the next train out. While she was in Bowie she was approached by High field, who told her that he was her father and he took her to Globe and several other places and kept her sleeping with him every night. She stated that he brought her here about four days ago and kept her at Lowell uulll ulkul l0bL NAlth AAC brought her up to the Moose hotel in this city where he told her that she would have to take his name end then <. vas that it dawned on her that he was not her father. She was afraid to tell any one and if it had not been for the fact that his actions and talk had with the girl in the room was oyer heard by a Toomer, it might not have leaked out. The roomer was not satis- fled with the story that was told him and he reported it to the police Offic- CTS and an investigation was started. The girl was found and told her story and then a search was started to find him. He was located in Lowell. The girl at present is in the custody of Miss Cummings, the probation of ficer. Telegrams were sent last night by the officers to try and locate the girls mother. The little girl did not know the address of her mother in Santa Monica but knew the address of her sister at Ontario. Telegrams were sent to officers in both places so that they could be communicated with and also to try and get the location of the father
 One peculiar feature of the girls story is that if he had been with her for two weeks that no word had been received by the officers of the disap- pearance of the young girl from the train at Bowie and of her no arrival at her fathers address in New Mexico.
 It is expected that some further de- velopments will be had today. No mat ter whether the girls story of the two weeks adventure is so or not the of ficers have sufficient evidence to con vict him of the Offense on account of his actions on Friday night at the Moose hotel
 Highfield at the time of the Oatman boom was on was in the district sell ing stock in some claims there. He was arrested at Douglas on charge of passing a bogus check about that time but managed to fix the matter up.

SUFFER CLUB GROWS RAPIDLY
 IN DISTRICT

The proof of the pudding is in the eating and the proof of popularity IS the manner in which the mention of a mans name arouses enthusiasm. By this test fhe Hon. Fred Sutter lacks neither popularity or friends ready and willing to back him to the limit in his campaign for the democratic noIni- nat'Co Tor The governors ip tt g 4ea n. or lie eve -uiirl committee of the Warren district Sutter club, last night, it was announced that the membership had reached 1400.
 The one complaint offered was not that gre3t effort had to be expended in bringing additional members into the club membership list, but that the secretary, Henry Aiken, was hav- ing all he could do in keeping up his lists and attending to other purely clerical duties attached to his office. The outlook at present is flattering to the hope that not many days will have passed before the club roll reaches the total of 2500 active, work ing members, while predictions Of 5000 members and even higher, are heard frequently.

0Contnued from Page one) their casualties were small. according to the latest reports. Virtually the en- tire body or Americans came througi unscathed. This was probably due to the weak resistance which the Ger mans offered to the Angl0-American onslaught
 Yesterdays operations were speciii- cally planned as a Fourth of July cele- tration which should bring the Ameri- cans into the British battle line for the first time American troops who were to take part in this memorable event were brigaded with their Aus iralian allies. who took the deepest interest in the forthcoming welding of the link of brotherhood The plans were carefully rehearsed until every American knew his role almost as well as the hardy veterans from his maj esty's ally.
 Few people along the front knew of the forthcoming event but the Brit ish staff officers were watching every move with the keenest attention. Those officers today were OutspOken- ly delighted with what they had seen.
 The Americans went over the top with the Australians behind big tanks as though they had been doing the same thing all their lives. Then came the clash with the enemy infantry among the shell hole defenses and trenches under the gray light Of the early dawn.
 There was no hesitation. For week past the British experts had been din ming into the ears of the Americans the words kill, kill kill" It is the cardinal slogan of the fighting man and while it is not pleasant to dwell upon. yet that is what war is.
 The Americans had learned their lesson well. The British officers spoke of this after the affair was over. No drill master ever got better returns for his talks than the one who taught these Americans this hardest lesson of all A great number of Ger mans paid the supreme price yester- day and the men from the United States exacted a y/ry heavy toll.
 The Americans were naturally hap pv last night over the success of the operation in which they had played a creditable part. and the Australians were no less pleased with their new found pals.

RED GROSS IS
 ORGANIZED FOR
 HOME SERVICE
Home Service Department Headed By Mrs. JuIiff Will Look After Welfare of Fam flies of Soldiers Here

The agencies maTshalled by the gov ernment to attend to the wants of the nations soldiers in cantonments on this side of the water, as well as on the battle front in France or Italy now are complete The welfare of the wives, parents or litle ones of these soldiers now is the chies aim of the Red Cross. In the Warren district the organization of the Home Service Ge- pertinent of the Red Cross society has been completed with Mrs. Frank Ju- Tiff as chairman. She in turn has nemed Mesdames Henry Poppen' George B. Wilcox and Gerald Sher- man as members of a board 10 assist her.
 Others probably will be added to the board in the immediate future as Mrs. Juliff plans to ask the ministers of the district, the city attorney, a number of physicians and others in touch with those needing assistance, to cooperate with her.
 Families os soldiers who are in need of assistance, or persons who know of families in need Of assistance, whether financial, medical attendance, legal or business advice should report them to Mrs JlSiff CT her assistant at the aTuory T has been ioSnd 'h2i .1r e rPgrte arc 1.l0, .I =ati
 end others may not be informed of the relief which has been subscribed for them by the people of this city.
 Although the fact was not brought out at the time, 25 per cent of the funds raised in the second Red Cross war fund drive, were intended for and will be retained by the Bisbee chapter for civilian relief at home This will amount to a considerable sum of mon ey. The chapter is well supplied with funds for this purpose, but they will be used for the relief of real neces- sities.
 W. Frank Persons, director general of civilian relief of the American Red Cross has just returned from France, where he organized the bureau of home service in the American Red Cross organization in that country. He is more firmly convinced than ever that proper conditions in the homes of soldiers and sailors and fhe maintenance of close and intimate con- tact between the men and their fami- lies is of the stuff Of which morale is made. We cannot assume a passive attitude" said MT. Parsons. "On the part of the soldier or sailor. satisfied that all is going reasonably well and patiently waiting for things to right themselves. The fighting man wants to know all about what is going on al home-an the details about his family and about the friends and his com munity generally. He wants to be kept in touch with the local civic af fairs and what is going on in his town and state We are coming to see that this interest is a powerful support to a mans stamina. It keeps him sane and healthy. It braces him up to know that those with whom he has lived and who mean so much to him appreciate the sacrifice he is making.

IRE new DRAFT BILL.
PASSED BY SENATE AND HOUSE
GOES TO PRESIDENT.
Senate Adopts Conferees' Report on
Legislation Providing for Army
Service for Men Between Eighteen
and Forty-five Years OF Age.

Washington, Aug 30.-Congress
| failed again today 10 complete the
man power bill, extending: the Selec-
tive draft age limits to Is to 5 years
of age. Only the formality OF the
signing of the measure by the presid-
| ing officers of the senate and house
remains, however, and it was predict
eG cOnlght the measure would be IN
President Wilson's hands soon after
the noon convening hour. Itl imme-
diate approval by the executive is
expected.
The conference report on the bill,
approved yesterday by the house, was
adopted late today by the senate by a
yea and nay vote with but feeble
opposition. Senate debate on the
work or fight" amendments eXcision
was so protracted that the house aG-
journed before the bill could be re-
turned there for the signature Of the
speaker.
Senate debate today centered on
the elimination of the work or fight"
amendment by the conferees. Sena-
tors Thomas of Colorado, author OF
the amendment, and McCumber OF
North Dakota veIlemently protested
against the striking out of the provis-
ion, which has been fought by or
ganized labor. Chairman Chamber
lain OF the senate conference COM
mittee defended the action of the
committee in yielding to house oppo-
Sitfor1, declaring that the present law
and regulations could. if enforced
meet the ends designed by the Thom
as amendment.
Criticism of published plans of the
war department for free technical
and special education Of drafted
youths under 21 was expressed by
several senator's, dcnouncing the ac-.
ton of the war department in taking
over schools and colleges as socialis-
tic.

elimination from the man power bill
because they believed the president

present act it is discretionary ask
ed Senator McCunber of North Da

"The thing is discretionary under
this amendment as the president is
authorized to formulate rules and
regulations il order to carry it into
effect" was the reply.
The Penrose amendment to exempt
registrants from claiming draft ex-
emption, Senator Chamberlain en-
plained, was eliminated because it
would delay the new. registration by
making necessary reprinting millions
of qusstionnaires and other official
forms and because new regulations to
