GERMAN MORALE WEAKENING

lnsubordinatIon and Disobedience Of
Orders increases.
London, Aug. 31.-While it is neces-
sary to guard against exaggerated ex-
pectations of German collapse, it is
nevertheless true that the fighting of
the last month has given definite evi-
dence OF a notable deterioration in
German morale. There also is proof
of increasing INSTRUMENTATION and dis
obedience to orders, which is very
significant in any event, bearing the
reputation of the German machine.
Captured orders tell of the refusal of
new drafts to enter the trenches.
Others censure officers for laxity in
dealing of offenders.

Constantinople newspapers print re-
ports of the death of Hussein Ben
Ali, king of the Hejaz and grand
sheriff of Mecca. In 1915 Grand Sheriff
Hussein assumed the title and office
of the king of the Hejaz at the request
of the ulema, or body of Moslem doc
tors of the law who interpret the
Koran, and the notables of Mecca and
the unanimous vote of the people.
The Allied governments recognized
the king, who entered into close re-
lations with other important chief
tains who approved the steps he had
taken. Since his attainment of the
throne the king had upheld the Allied
cause and had thrown his men into
the conflict against the Turks in his
territory.

GOOD SHOWING MADE
 BY MESA DISTRICT IN
 LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE

MESA, Oct. 10.-During the past two days the Mesa district has made a great showing in Liberty bond sub scriptions. By the Mesa district is meant not only this town, but the communities of Lehi, Alma and Jordan, all of which are being handled through the local office. In the subscriptions offered, the three outside places have shown commendable interest
 At the close of business yesterday the amount subscribed for the cam paign was $93,250. The apportionment for the district is $124,1OO. The man. agers of the district wish it understood that when the apportionment is reached, no more will be asked This for the reason that the sum allotted seemingly represents alright, what the committee considers a just share, and hence believes the government will be satisfied with the effort
 All soliciting committees report a cordial welcome and a hearty willing ness on the part of the great majority of the people approached.
 Six hundred ninety-five subscribers have contributed to the fund, and it Will be seen to that each person in the district has an opportunity to join in the great loan which is bringing joy to all but the kaiser and his cohorts.

MESA NOT OVER TOP IN LIBERTY LOAN,
 TOTAL |S S101,150

MESA, Oct 11.-Contrary to the statement made in The Republican of yesterday, Mesa is not yet over the top in the Fourth Liberty loan. The error occurred when the local chair man had phoned into the central or ganization that 1000 had been sub scribed, and since Mesa district proper had been allotted $67 7,000 the error was easily made. However, it must be remembered that the local commit tee is handling Lehi, Jordan and Alma, and the county organization had made separate assessments for the two lat ter places, the total for the three dis tricts being SPA, 100.
 Mesa has $101, ,150 for this combined district and is not yet over the top, but fully determined to be. The work CTS are most earnest, and persevering Mrs. Stadlman and her helper, Miss Price, are at their desks from early morning till the close of the days business, and committees of men and women are carefully canvassing the entire district. When the apportion- ment is reached and a little added so that they can go over the top without too much eXertion, then and not until then, will the workers rest.

EFF|CY ON STREET OF MESA FARMERWH0
 WOULDN'T BUY BOND

MESA, Oct. 11-An effigy, dressed in overalls with a liberal showing of vel low colors, stands in the center of the main business street of Mesa. A plac- ard on the breast of the figure reads: III. G. Saylor-Yellow Slacker-Lives 1 F miles s. w. of Mesa. Can, but won't buy a Liberty bond" The work was done by the local liberty loan manage ment acting upon authority of the county Liberty loan officials.
 The incidents leading up to the plac- ing of the effigy are thus related by a citizen who formed one of the commit- tee which waited upon Saylor in the effort to induce him to buy a bond. Being told that he had refused, a com mittee was appointed and a portion of this committee saw him-at his home on Wednesday afternoon where for two hours they endeavored to persuade him that it would be the right thing for him to do, but through it all he steadfastly refused.
 He then accompanied the men to Phoenix at their request, and from to F o'clock he was subjected to every form of pleading and argument in the endeavor to win him over, the spokes- man telling him that it was not the mere matter of his buying a bond. but rather the desire to have no man in the county refusing. where he was finan cially able. Saylor steadfastly refused even when a one armed soldier was brought into the room and placed the matter before him. It is to be admitted however that the soldier who had left his arm in France, soon lost patience and addressed some forcible remarks rn ta tn hn 1rav xyir O room, toward anyone who refused to support the war
 Saylor stated that he would support the Red Cross, but when the committee had his offer of a check for not more than $75 for that organization, it was refused on the grounds that from a man who had refused to buy a bond, it was getting off too cheap.
 The reason given by Saylor for his refusal is on religious grounds. He claiSed that his religion would not | permit him to in any way support the war. He is prominent farmer of this section, and he and his family with a large circle of relatives are well known and respected citizens. He is esti- mated to be worth around S25,000 and his present attitude is one that causes great surprise and regret among his friends, though among the general puglic, criticism is severe.
 The stacker committee in the Mesa district is efficiently organized and more than one man who had refused flatly to purchase bonds. had their minds changed. However, there are those whom the committee has cheer fully admitted are not in a position to buy, but in such instances the facts are we'll known and the willingness of the unfortunate beings, must be plainly manifest.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-Peace and war shares again pursued widely di- vergent courses in todays stock mar ket, gains in the first named division far outstripping irregular losses else where.
 Trading assumed wider and larger proportions, although the greater part of the days transaction concentrated in equipments, shippings, oils, utili- ties and allied issues.
 Next to United States Steel which resisted pressure better than other shares of the same class, closing at a gain of IS points, the stocks most in demand were marine preferred at a five point advance, Texas company, which rose 612 points and Mexican pe- troleum, in which the extreme gain was slightly in excess of ten points.
 Striking features in the utility group included Peoples gas, American Tele- phone and Western Union, the wire" companies deriving further strength from their guaranteed status under federal control.
 Rails were an uncertain quantity most of the day by reason of Canadian Pacific's irregularity.
 Bonds of all descriptions, including liberty issues and internations were appreciably higher on more extensive trading. Total sales, par value aggre- gated $10,65O,0O0. old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
