Phoenix and Maricopa county an swered the German peace proposal yesterday with subscription to the fourth Liberty loan that heartened workers at headquarters and aroused the hope that in the eleven days yet remaining before the close of the cam- paign even better work would be done.
 Material increases in the daily aver age subscription were still badly need ed, however, for with the campaign more than one third over, neither Phoe- nix nor Maricopa county has raised more than 9 per cent of the quota assigned.
 The total for Arizona, as reported by state headquarters last night, IS s1,540, ,S00,/ as compared with quota of s6,213,200 to be raised This is ap- proximately 25 per cent of the amount assigned to the nine counties in the twelfth federal reserve district,
 Much to be Raised
 As for Phoenix, this city had up to last night subscribed s453,S00 out of it's quota of s1,s13, ,655, leaving $1,S59,- S55 yet to be raised in the eleven days before the campaign closes.
 Maricopa county has. subscribed s6OS, 900 to date, leaving s2,01L,100 yet to be raised. In other words, Phoenix must raise almost $125,000 a day from now on to meet it's quota, while the county will have to buy bonds at the rate of over s1S0,000 every working day between now and 8 week from next Saturday. ....
 See Through Peace Bluff
 Workers reported little difficulty on account of the German peace proposals. People generally seem to have made up their minds that the proposal was cleverly timed peace drive, and cal culated to upset the fourth Liberty loan and acted accordingly. It was pointed out that Germany is at pres ent floating another enormous war loan. and that the kaiser would like nothing better than to see the Ameri- can loan fall behind while the Germans are putting forth every effort to make their loan a success.
 It is further pointed out that Ger many will watch the response to the fourth Liberty loan closely as the best | indica tion of the feeling of the Amer | ican people at this time. and any fail ure to over subscribe the fourth loan would be hailed as German victory and as further encouragement for the | German hope of a patched up peace.
 Glendale Responds
 Glendale responded yesterday ill nc uncertain terms to the German peace note, sending in subscriptions amount

ing to s3.100 This brings the total for that city to $24100 or better than 50 per cent, ,of the total quota. Glen dale workers are planning for large over-subscrip,ion and are hoping to get their honor flag this week.
 Phoenix automobile men have sub scribed $50,000 to the fourth Liberty loan. This was made known when R. D. Roper, chairman of the automobile mems committee. turned in the sub scriptions of 300 automobile men at headquarters late Saturday night. Dealers, statesmen, garagemen and SUD- ply dealers all responded in manner that has aroused the greatest enthu- siasm at headquarters.

Closing of the schools, theaters, etc., to prevent the spread of Span ish influenza will not interfere with the Liberty loan campaign in any way. On the contrary, the closing of the schools will release for lib- erty loan work large number ot workers, both teachers and pupils, and will make possible more thorough canvass of the city.
 During the week the schools are closed it is planned to carry out an energetic and systematic cam paign throughout the city to in | increase the number and the amount of subscriptions to the 1 fourth Liberty loan and thus boost l Phoenix that much nearer the 100 1 per cent mark.

ordinance, which became effective at midnight last night. As pointed out at the commission meeting yesterday afternoon, at least 75 people will be thrown out of employment for an in- definite period by the closing of, the theaters alone. Representative of the theaters were present to say they were not protesting, but to ask that the theaters be opened as soon as pos sible to save them from as much loss as possible. For instance, the Colum- bia, which has an expensive musical comedy billed. will lose at least S1,000 week, it was announced.
 Ounce of Prevention
 In response Acting Mayor Dunlap said he was satisfied Dr. Beauchamp would not permit the theaters to re- main closed any longer than necessary. John D. Loper, superintendent of the city schools, said it cost S4,O00 afWeek to run the schools, although only half salary would have to be paid, under the present closing and that the time could be made up in the spring, after the regular date for closing for the | summer vacation.
 Dr. A. B. Nichols, county health of ficer, in advising that the ordinance be adopted said: There are not enough nurses here to cope with the situation should it become epidemic. 1t is best to do all we can now. It is better to prevent than it is to let it run and then try to cure"
 Close County Schools
 The county board of health yester- day followed the action of the city by ordering all county schools. dance and pool halls closed and prohibiting public gatherings. Dr. A. B. Nichols county health officer. said last night that it is expected that all incorporated towns in the county will follow the ex- ample set by the city of Phoenix an6 assist in every way, in arresting the Spanish influenza.

That gives positive traction and keeps the wheels from spinning when you start your car. Thus the Miller Tread prevents scufing and burning tires. And of course it makes all roads safer.

 Next time don't buy only one tire come here and let us put a pair of Miller teammates on op- posite wheels of your car. Then both will give like endurance.

ALBERT ROSENBERG ..r'''.'
COMMISSIONED LIEUTENANT

Mrs. Philip Rosenberg yesterday
received a telegram from her son,
Albert, stating that he had received
his commission as a second lieuten-
ant, infantry. The people of this
community will read the announce,
ment with delight.
Lieutenant Rosenberg is another
one of those aggressive men, who
have started at the bottom and
worked their way up to the top. En-
listing as private, he rose solely
because of his ability, to the rank
of corporal and then of sergeant.
In the severe competition among
the thousands of men at Camp Jack.
son, he was then selected to go to
the Officers Training School at
Camp Sewer. The commission comes
as the logical outcome of a career
thus begun.
The lieutenant is best known
among us as one of the number of
young men who used to work in the
Rosenberg Mercantile Co., and whom
that firm sent to the war. He is ex-
pected home today, choosing to
spend short vacation with his par
ents and many friends.

ALLIES STRONGLY PRESS ADVANCE
AGAINST BEATEN GERMAN ARMY
Refute Words Of
Lenine and Trotzky
Statement BY Allied Governments
Of Northern Russia-Plan il 70
Aid Russia.

Archangel, Russia, Thursday, Aug
22.-An official announcement today
by the Entente Allied governments
in the northern region of Russia de-
MED the statement recently made by
Lenine and Tfotzky, the Bolshevik
premier and war minister, respec-
lively, that Great Britain, France
and the United States were enemies

The statement follows:
"Lenine and Trotzky declare the
British, French and Americans when
disembarked at Archangel are brig
ands and they call upon the Russian
proletariat to fight against them as
enemies of Russia who attacked her
without a declaratio nof war.
eve declare to all Russian citi-
zens for whom the welfare of Rus

Admiralty Ruling
In Lusitania Case
Says Cunard Company Cannot Be
Held Liable-AH Suits Are
Dismissed.

New York, Aug. 25.-The Cunard
Steamship company cannot be held
liable for loss Of life and property in
the torpedoing of the Lucitania by a
decision handed down in the admiral
ty branch of the United Staes Dis
made public today.
"The cause of the sinking Of the
Lusitania was the illegal act of the
Imperial German Government, acting
ing through its instrument, the sub
marine commander" declared Judge
Mayer, who held that 'the fault
therefore, must be laid upon those
who are responsible for the sinking
of the vessel in the legal as well as in
the moral sense" .,..
In dismissing suits against the Gu
nard Line aggregating nearly s4,,-
100000 bought by heirs of per-
sons who perished with the Lusitania
May II, 1917, Judge Mayer asserted
''It is not to be doubted that the
United States of America and her Al
lies will well remember the rights of
those affected by the sinking of the
Lusitania and when the time comes
be made for one of the most indefen-
sible acts of modern times"
Judge Mayer went exhaustively in
to claims that the Cunard Line was
negligent, and dismissed them with
the conclusion that the captain and
members of the crew took every, pEee;;
caution justified by the then known
facts, both before and after the YES
sci was torpedoed. ..... .,
*'It is, of course, easy now,' he
declared, Gin the light of many later
events added to proceeding acts to
look back and say that the Cunard
Line and it's captain should have
known that the German Government
would authorize or permit so shock
and so foul an offense, not only a.
gainst an enemy, but as well against
peaceful citizens of then friendly
nation. But the unexpected charac-
ter of the act was best evidenced by
people,"

British About to Wrest
Important City From
German Invaders.
DEFENsEs OF TOWN
ALREADY CAPTURED
Hun Lines Show Evidence of Lines
Cracking-Many Guns Of Large
Calibre Taken. ~

With the British Army in France,
Aug. 25.-The British continue
smashing the Germans toward the
old. Hindenburg line, which has al
most been reached in the northern
battle zone. The defenses of Ba-
paume have either already been cap
tured or are in process Of being cap
tured. Bapaume itself must fall
shortly. y
Meanwhile some of the heaviest
fighting of the war is going on in
this section Of the battle front, for
the Germans are loath to part with
the town, which has great strategic
value. ..r'
Warlencourt, an important posi-
tion just south Of Bapaume, on the
road to Albert, which has been wide
ly crossed, was taken by the British
after bitter struggle in which the
Germans suffered very severe losses.
Great numbers of the enemy were
captured during the day among them
large party from the Third Ger
man naval division. ~
British Advance Fast. '...,
So fast was the British advance
last night and today that it is i'm
possible U be certain where : tia
front lines will lbe located from one
hour to the next.
The German line exhibits signs Of
cracking at some places, but they
are offering desperate resistance.
Many more guns, some of large cali
bre, have been taken. One British
corps alone has counted go.
There is evidence of confusion of
the enemy rear. Units of the same
divisions have been taken at points
separated by many miles. Quanti-
ties of material are falling into Bri-
tish hands because the Boches has
not troubled to apply the torch Of
explosive to them.
Posires, to the north of Albert,
fell this morning. British patrols
were seen entering Aartinpuich,
where apparently the Boche made
good his escape.
Highwood, a strong position near
Longeval northwest Of Combles) is
'eported captured, while Eaucourt
pAbbaye, Contamination and Cource-
lette have been occupied by the Brit
ish.
Sapiegnes is completely in British
hands after hard fighting. At last
reports a local battle within the big
battle was being fought at Mory and
it's environs where the lines run
through the town.
St. Legar was captured and left
far behind. After having once been
"eported in Croiselles the British
withdrew to the outskirts. The Ger
mans counterattacked heavily and
the British retired to the edge Of
the town and poured shells into the
place, while pressing forward on the
