The University Club of Tucson, has announced that this year it will give two scholarships to the engineering students of the university. Last year the policy was inaugurated by the Un- iversity Club and one scholarship was given. This organization recognizes and desires to assist the government in the great need for men trained in engineering for the present war situa- ton and also recognizes the fact thot many students will be deterred from attending college because of financial difficulties. These scholarships are for Sl50 which amount pays practically all the students expenses for one year. At the present time the University has 14 county scholarships, two Universi ty Club scholarships, one collegiate club, two Woman's Club and one Alum nj scholarship, besides very cOnsid- erable number of cash prizes.

It is with much satisfaction that The Re view comments upon the fact that the coun- ty and state authorities have gotten togeth- CT upon the Cochise county road work. Whatever the cause of the controversy, or whoever was to blame, the results were the same to the county-they did harm. Good judgment, good sense and patient effort have succeeded in bridging chasm that was pretty wide at first Peremptory and apparently unwarranted action upon the part of the state in assuming control of county road work marked the beginning of. the trouble This was met with resolute in
 dependence upon the part of the county supervisors. Neither the mails, the tele- graph or the telephone could serve to reach an understanding But when the county and state officials got together around the council table the affair was soon straight ened out. The Cochise county road work continues under the supervision of the same competent foreman of the old bootlegger camp on the Tombstone-Bisbee highway and the state pays its portion of expense. The spirit that brought about this agree ment of resumption of road work Is to be commended. Personal differences were buried beneath the need of the public for good roads This is as it should be and re- suits in happy outcome of what promised to be long and disagreeable controversy.

At last that report of Secretary Wilson's labor commission has been boldly branded as bogus and merely substitute for re- port of true conditions that-led up to and finally caused the famous Bisbee deporta- tion And no less parsonage than U. 5. senator applied the brand, selected the hall of the senate as his stage. And the nation heard him. And other senators joined the brave Senator King of Utah in the demand that the government stop coddling the l. w. w." Some day the real facts and under lying principles of that Wilson commis sion s report on the deportation will come to light, and be published to the world, along with the real facts and underlying causes of that deportation. And Bisbee will not only be justified by the rest of the country, but she will be applauded. Wonder how Congressman Carl Hayden felt when he read Senator Kings denunciation9

ten miles of the sixty mile battle front, and they certainly fought as well as anyone along that line. They lost some ground and gained back part of their lost positions. The world was watching these troops fight ing their first great battle. The result must be thrilling to Paris and London and most depressing to Berlin.
 Make no mistake; in one sense this last offensive has been a real allied success. They have held a German drive that was a month or more in the making. BUI. was 1t a major German effort? It Is too soon yet to tell
 NOTE: Since the above was written the night dispatches narrate a Franco-Amer- ican (Say, that compound word sounds goodD offensive upon a scale of consider able magnitude has been launched on the north leg of that German salient that tips Chateau Thierry. The German gains are on the south leg of the same salient. The allies made fine gains Their thrust will doubtless still further disrupt the great German drive In fact, as the hours go by, the German effort seems to bear decided resemblance to the late Austrian offensive against Italy. Quick counter attacks on the largest scale possible and with every ounce of power of the defenders seem to be the antidote for the German poison germ. The real success and significance of this recent counter stroke cannot be gauged at this time. Events are coming on thick and fast in France More and more does the ad- dition of that quarter of a million American troops loom up as a factor that may soon turn the tide in the 1918 campaign.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-07-19

It was estimated the other day by an ex- pert that when the German drive started last March that the British had million men in the battle line, the French million and a quarter and the Belgians and Portu- gese about 100000, making 2,350,0OO allied troops in all Opposed to these were 2,500,000 Germans, with a quarter of million available in reserve. Well, here was nearly a half million balance in favor of the kaiser But since that time quar-
 ter of million Americans have been placed in the battle line, and certainly more than 100000 English and 100000 Italian troops. A second quarter of million Americans will be available for battle by the middle of August So we have more than restored the balance of power on this front. It is estimated that at the most Germany cannot muster quite three million men on the western battle line this year The allies will surely have we'll over three million by September. So Germany MUST strike shattering blow now or give up the otfen- sive forever in this war. These figures are not official, but they are at least authorita- tive and as nearly correct as available at this time They are given here to correct some wild guesses and apprehensions re- garding the German strength and too much pessimism or optimism regarding the American strength Another thing; we have 100000 men in France but of these not more than 800,000 are fighting men. One-third of these are now at the front and another third will be available by August 1 , and the remainder by January |.

GIVE THE PUBLIC THE FACTS
fFrom the Tucson Citizenl

When the board of pardons and paroles turns woman cut of the state prison, the public and particularly the residents of the county from which the prisoner sent up, seldom hear of the release, unless some newspaper re- porter happens to stumble on it.
 On Monday there published in The Phoe- nix Gazette the story of the parole of Dr. Rosa Boido of Phoenix The story just thirty days old. On many occasions prisoners sent up from Pima county have been back paradng the streets for several weeks before the public gen eraly advised through the press of their pardon parole.
 These are matters which should be given full publicity. A law should be passed by the next legislature providing that when application is made by prisoner for a pardon or parole, notice of the hearing should be published at least ten days in the county from which he was sent'up.
 The law should also provide that when paroles are granted report of the same should be sup piled the newspapers at the capital and the news papers in the county from which the prisoner was sent up, together with a short statement of the reason for the action.
 The harden and parole board may have good reason for it's action in these cases and may 1avo intention of concealing anything from the public and can show its good faith by voiun- tarIly- furnishing this information to the press and through it to the public.
 In this same connection might be men toned the pardon of Mrs Ernie James, sent up for murderous assault for five years from Cochise county and set free by the pardon board after serving thirty days of her sentence, and this unknown even to the judge or prosecutor or jury or people of the county at large until days after she had gone free It would seem that board of pardons should do its work in due form and process and in the full light of publicity, like court of law. Neither conviction or pardon should be arrived at without warn ing or deliberation or all the form and cere- mony of law.
