Wilson, United States district attor- ney, said it would be shown that the defendant in an address at Kansas City, asserted that the Red Cross and the federal food and fuel administra- tions were war camoufiage." that American soldiers in France were there to fight for capital, not for de- mocracy and that they had been lured there by the slogan make the world safe for democracy"
 "'You cannot get the truth from the press because it is controlled by prof. teers," the district attorney quoted from alleged statements by Mrs. Stokes. adding that she had asserted that If conditions in the United States could be improved by a Ger man victory. then l want Germany 70 win"

SHOE TRUST WILL
 NOT BE DISSOLVED
tBy Revlew Leased wirel

tbN hGNleW Leased Wlrel
 WASHINGTON, May. 20.-Through an opinion which some construed IS indicating a new attitude toward pig business and on which the court li- vided. four to three, the supreme court today refused to order the dissolution of the United Shoe Machinery com pany of Massachusetts, and its subsi- diaries. forming the so-called shoe machinery trust"
 While admitting the magnitude of the combination. the court declared it's growth resulted from efficient manage ment and not oppression. and held that the breaking up of such a concern un- der a dissolution order would be prac ticallv impossible.
 This suit, instituted by the govern ment in 1911, is the first under the sherman antitrust act to be decided by the supreme court in number of years, and for the first time in receDt history a complete victory has been won by an organization by the govern ment. In the proceedings the govern ment not only sought the dissolution of the company which it contended to he an organization in restraint of trade but also the abolishment of the so- called tying leases" by which the com rnny retained control over shoe ma chinery leased to shoe manufacturers.
 The lower court decided in favor of the company and dismissed the suit The supreme court affirms that the decision in the majority opinion rem dered by Associate Justice McKenna and concurred in by Chief Justice White. and Associated Justice Holmes and Vandeventer Justices Day, Pitney and Clark dissented, the for mer in an opinion declaring that the shoe machinery company does dom mate the trade and that the tying leases are a violation of the Sherman law. Justices McReynOlds and Bran deis did not participate, because of their previous connection with the case, tn former as attorney general.
 Answering the governments conten- tion that the company is an organiza- tion in restraint of trade and should be broken up as an unlawful trust, the majority opinion declared ''the idea is repellent that so complete an instrumentality should be dismantled and its concentration and efficiency lost"
 "The company" the opinion contin- ues. indeed has magnitude, but it is at once the result and cause of eff ciency and the charge that it has been progressively used is not sustained. Pa irons are given the benefits of i'm provements made by the company and new machines are substituted for the old ones without proportional charge.
 These are some of the results of the organization of the United com pany."
 In dissenting. Justice Day declared the tying leases" tend ''to prevent the free flow of interstate commerce and the natural course of its aetivi- ties at least tend to monopolize n-im- portant trade"
 In his opinion he added the restric- tive and prohibitive clauses of the leases are within the Sherman act as they are clearly in restraint of trade"

 A letter written by W. D.

Wdr Summary
cRy Review Leased wlrel

The allied armies are not permitting the Germans to "get set" for a serious blow at the western front. Here and there along the line there have been sudden blows at the German positions tured by the allies.
 Fhe French have done most of this work. On the front east and north east of Locre. on the northern side of the Lys salient in northern France and just to the west of Kemmel, where some of the most intense fighting of the war has been going on, the French have advanced their line over two mile front. Far to the south, near Rheims. the French have advanced into the enemy's positions as far as the third line trenches.
 The Australians on the front before Amiens have been active and have improved their positions.
 Fighting Near KemmeI
 Heavy artillery firing is reported from several points along the front, it being especially severe near Han gard and south of the Avre, near Amiens. The Germans also report heavy cannonading in the region of Kemmel
 The American sectors have been the scenes of fierce aerial battle. The Americans suffered a severe loss when Raoul Lufbery of Wallingford Conn.,. one of their most famous air fighters, went to his death in a thrill ing encounter above the city of Foul ne chimes, one of which is believed to he the one that accounted for Lufbery.
 In the Itanian theater of war. the lighting in the mountains east of Brenta river continues. reports telling of struggles on the slopes of the mountains.
 The French troops in Macedonia have taken the offensive near Lake Ochridd and have advanced to depth of more than 12 miles at some points. The object of this operation appears to be the straightening of an awkward salient in the line.
 Czechs Cheer Wilson
 The unrest which has been reported from time to time from Austria. in spite Of the efforts of the censor has again boiled up in Prague where crowds of Czerchs and Slavs have cheered for President Wilson and Premiers Clemeuceau and Lloyd i George.

This army is said to be made up of units which were not thrown into the | great battles on the Somme and alone the Lvs and it is believed that it has been brought up to the Arras front to lead the coming attack on the allied positions at that point.
 It is nointed out the German attack March 21 was timed so that the Ger mans were able to take advantage of ihe birth moonlight for several nights. The moon now is just past the phase which signalled the advance fr0m St. Quentin and Cambra' and the long expected attack may be launched at any time.

Phoenix. Arizona. March 20, 1918. Editor, Arizona Republican, City.
 Dear Sir:-I notice a story in your paper of this morning, which stated MT. Ayers, a wealthy and prominent man, had been annoyed by persons oc- cupying the room adjoining the rooms occupied by him in the Hotel Adams. The room next to MT. Ayers is occupied by two well-known business men who have resided in the Hotel Adams for years renting their room by the year. The hotel management has never received any complaint dur ing the years they have resided in the hotel except the two complaints made by Mir Ayers on March 7th and March 18th.
 On March 7th, Mir. Ayers telephoned the night clerk that he was unable to sleep on account of the noise made in the next room. The clerk telephoned room No. 404, that they were making so much noise they were keeping Mr. Ayers awake. he also telephoned MT. Law, the manager Mir. Law imme- diateIv went to the office. By that time the room had been vacated and the occupants were in the lobby They apologized to MT. Law for disturbing the sleep of MT. Ayers. and one of them remarked that as they left the room MT. Ayers said, Boys. I am glad you are going I could not sleep" One of the men in a pleasant, joking way, said We are sorry, old man. to have kept | you awake. If you can't sleep on our account we ought to pay for your 1 room There was no intention on their part to in any way insult MT | Ayers.
 On Monday evening between and 8 o'clock, one of the gentlemen went ur 1 to his room to wash for dinner and 1 took another gentleman with him While in the room his friend was tell

K|WAN|S CLUB
 ENJOYS TALK.

Taking occasion to boost the valley. Sam Sutherland, efficiency expert, yesterday made departure from a conventional address and ended d par ticularly interesting talk on the fur niture industry in an original poem in which he paid a glowing tribute to the sunshine land" Mir. Sutherland was the chief speaker at the monday luncheon of the Xxi wanis club, which was held at the Y. M. C. A. Introduced by Harry Pat ney, Mir. Sutherland's talk followed one given by Lin B. Orme who discussed the dairy conditions in the valley. MT. Sutherland, who is connected with the Doris Heyman Furniture company reviewed the furniture in- dustry in the country, from both the wholesale and retail viewpoint. He gave some interesting facts and figures and dwelt upon the point that a builder constructs a house but that it is the furniture man who makes the real home. He spoke of the growth of the firm he represents, giving its his tory dating from S1 years ago when it began in a small way on Washington street.
 Stating that in his belief there was no place on earth equal to the Salt  chant of Phoenix to show a spirit of optimism, MT. Sutherland concluded with his poem:
 Poets have sung of some wonderful Which with milk and honey are
 laden,
 Have told of the climate in words so
 grand
 You would think the place nothing
 but Eden
 But what cant see and can't under Why some poet that can sing don't

plaint made by Mir. Ayers, but when Mr. Law explained that any loud con- versation in their room was easily heard in Mr. Ayers room. they un- derstood why MT Ayers complained. The gentlemen occupying room No 404, are we'll known business men, who have thousands of friends in Arizona, and would not knowingly annoy or be discourteouS to any one This is shown by the fact that when they were informed over the phone that they were annoying MT. Ayers, they at once vacated the room.
 MT. Ayers made only the two com- plaints to the hotel. He made no com plaint to the hotel that they did not act promptly when he called their at -tention to the fact that he was being annoyed and disturbed.
 The Hotel Adams does not allow their guests to be annoyed. If they are at any time, complaint should be made and same will be corrected inn mediately.
