Political Gossip

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct 1S.-When Carl Hayden flooded Arizona postof- fices with a pamphlet published at government expense. defending his pad war record and attacking the Ma tional Security league for exposing it., Andrew Baumert, Jr., secretary of the republican state committee wired the chairman of the league of Hayden's as- sault on that organization, whose honorary president is Elihu Root and whose honorary yice-president is Alton B. Parker, democratic candidate for the presidency in 1904. | In reply Mir Baumert received the following letter from Charles D. Orth, chairman of the league: Mr. Andrew Maumert, jr, | Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 ! We are in receipt of your telegram advising us that MT Hayden is endeaV- Cring to discredit the National Secur- | Iity leagu through a letter which he is publishing iR your newspaper
 We have no doubt that the wisdom and conscience of the good people of Arizona are fully equal to a correct in- depreciation of the facts. An adage sometimes humOrously quoted by law yers is to the effect When you have weak case. abuse the other side" We | do not believe that any man who voted against the preparedness principles enumerated in our chart and who also voted against the principle of selective conscription, without which the United
 
 temptible little army compared to what it has-can expect a constitu- ency made up of American Americans to regard his candidacy with favor. Please do not misinterpret this let ter as an aid to the republican party in Arizona, or anywhere else. We are writing similar letters daily about re- publican members in other parts of the country.
 Very truly yours.

 Chairman Congressional Committee.
 Did Not Want to Fight
 The following excerpt from Hay den's speech against conscriptiOn prob ably explains why he waited a year and half before going into a training camp with an officers commission.
 Our chief part in this conflict. and for if, we are well prepared, is to see to 1t that the veterans who have learned through two years of bitter struggle the way to drive the Germans back. shall not suffer for food or cloth ing or for an abundance of all forms of the arms and ammunition which are required in such great quantities in modern warfare. Our people are not trained to arms and the year that must be spent before any large num- Der of our soldiers can be fitted for service on the battle fronts of Europe, might better be spent in using these same men in the production of the things that the allies most sOrely need. It follows logically that if our great est contribution to the war is to be in the form of products of our fields and mines and factories, then. but a limit ed number of men should be permitted to cease from work of national i'm pOrtance in order to become soldiers. To send such men out of the country would not only be an economic but d military waste.

 Let us not pay Prussian militarism which we are seeking to destroy. the compliment of adopting the most hate ful and the most baneful of it's insti- tutiOns."

He is also alleged to be a deserter from the army.

Caldwell
 suspected Thomas and notified the police and Fourr started on the trail that brought in the quarry at 3:30 o'clock. He used a jituey and fired several shots at the fleeing man dur ing the chase. CaldweIs $50 was helC and marked by the police as evidence and Caldwell. who is employed at the phelps Dodge store. was an excited and angry man when he confronted Thomas at the police station. He ad- mitted that if he had had the gun instead of Fourr during the chase he would have killed Thomas.

 The McNeal fair has been called off This far was to have been held to day, October 19. Although there is no malady of influenza in the McNeal section, the directors of the annual fair thought best to cancel all en agreements, and possibly hold a fall festival or fair later in the season The farmers are very much disap pointed in not having their fair, as there is some very choice farm prod ucts ready for exhibition. Many of the farmers have been caring for spe cially fine specimens of corn. pump kins, potatoes. fruit and other prod ucts with a view of taking the prize at the county fair. Many of the farm CTS have samples of cotton, grown for experimental purposes, which they wanted to exhibit. Although there has been a dry season throughout the country, the farmers of the McNeal section, who are farming under pump ing plants, have made a good success and have splendid crops which they are selling in Bisbee and Douglas aI good prices.

Madrid, Sep. 5-A dispatch was re-
ceived here last night from London
reporting the assassination of ths
former Russian Empress and hel
daughters, but in view of the steps
taken by King Alfonso to obtain the
transfer to Spain of the family OF
the deposed and murdered Russian
monarch the report was treated with
all reserve.
Ell Sol says the Spanish Ambassa
dor at Berlin conferred on the ques.
tion of removing the former EN-
press and her daughters from Rus
sia with Ambassador Joffre, the Boil
shevik Ambassador at Berlin. AT
the same time, the newspaper says
Spanish military medical mission
which was in Germany in connec-
tion with the exchange of prisoners
of war left Germany for Russia and
that mission is now with the ex-Em-
press and her daughters.
There remain only a few formali-
ties to complete which will take on
ly few days Ell Sol says, and then
the former Empires and her child
rem will come to Spain on a yacht
flying the papal colors. The Rus
sian women will reside at Magdale-
ma Palace at Santander.
Ell Sol, adds that it seems difficult
to believe the negotiations could be
continued without the Spanish gov
ernment, learning of the death of
the former Empress and her child
ed as reported.

400 INSTITUTIONS LISTED IN
PLAN EDUCATING RECRUITS

| Washington, Sept. 6-More than
400 educational institutions have
| been enlisted in the War Depart
ment's program for educating at the
expense of the government recruits
who are selected as worthy of this
privilege. Tentative con tracts with
i additional colleges are being signed
every day.
Practically the entire first class to
be given the special courses will be
drawn from the Is and 19 years old
men who are registered at the ap-
proved institutions for the scholas-
tic year beginning next month. The
period between October and Decem-
ber will be devoted to testing out
the plan, and those students who
fail to take full advantage of their
opportunity in this period will find
themselves changing places with
other men from the draft ranks.
Selection of recruit for special
training, it was said officially today,
will mean that he will then face one
of four eventualities: He will be
found sufficiently qualified for de-
tail to an officers training camp; he
will be found qualified, but not ma
ture enough for this supplementary
training and will be maintained at
the school; he will be found unqual-
flied for commanding troops, but
qualified for further technical train
ing; he will be returned to the sta
tus of a draft registrant and will be
called in his turn.
No decision has been reached as
to whether the military regulations
daawing dry zone around all army
training camps will be extended to
cover these institutions. 1t is prob
able, however, that where college
is within the corporate limits of a
city zone will be established with
in one-half mile of the campus

HUN CONSPIRACY
AGAINST AMERICA

Washington, Sept. 6.-German in
spired attacks on America appearing
in Danish newspapers threaten the
interruption of negotiations now
pending between Denmark and the
United States for a commercial
agreement. This became known
yesterday after receipt of an official
report from an American agent in
Copenhagen.
For some time past the report dis
closes, articles have been reprinted
in the Social Democrat, so-called
government organ in Copenhagen
written by the former New York
correspondent of the Berlin Tidende
Henry Hellssen, ridiculing America
at war and bitterly attacking it's
motives and the people. Another
Danish paper, the Politiken, unoffi-
cially accredited as a government
organ, also has INDUCED in anti
American propaganda.
German influence is stated in the
report as having inspired anti-Amer-
lean feeling among the leaders of
the Socialist party. The people OF
Denmark are pro-ally, but the for
eign office is pro-German Germa
ny's methods of operation are strik-
ingly disclosed in the official report
made to the government in Wash
ington enclosing translation of the
articles from the Social Democrat.
The report reads in part:
The purchase by Germany of one
section of political leaders the radi-
cal labor unionists, was made by Or,
ganizing a Socialist labor company,
which was given the privilege OF
buying at low figures large part Of
the German coal import. This pur.
chase is we'll known and generally
admitted. And ii is in a large mea-
sure with those who were thus
bought that the Danish Commercial
agreement with theUnited States is
being negotiated. In the light Of
this fact, the oft repeated Danish
statement, What can we do, with
Germany at our doors?' has differ
ent meaning from the one it carries
when spoken by conscientious
Danes.
There is no doubt but that the
influence behind the social Demo-
craten is also behind many of the
diplomatic acts of the Danish gov
ernment And SO long as this infu-
ence considers 1t wise to cause the
publication of articles such as the
ones enclosed, it would seem only
fair on our part to be reluctant in
granting concessions to Denmark. 1t
might be made known to the people
of the United States that such SLAM
ders are being printed by people who
at the same time are asking for a
share of our supplies"

TOBACCO THE
GREAT DEMOCRAT
Men of High and Low Degree
Smoke With American
Soldiers
N TO ENJOY OUR WEED

r. j. Kirk, member Of American
Expeditionary forces in France, has
this interesting letter regarding to-
bacco, which is published below:
Probably the most discussed theme
next to the war in France today
among the French public is tobacco.
The authorities see that they get
enough bread and three meatless
days a week cause no hunger pangs.
But tobacco, it can't be obtained ex-
cept on rare occasions. And what
they do get is pretty fierce. Tres
mauvais, Monsieur they assure the
American soldiers, who have fair
ly plentiful supply of American man
| ufacture.
Tobacco in France is issued by a
sort of bread card arrangement. The
| available supply is proportioned out
to the tobacco shops, and on certain
days a limited amount may be sold
to civilians. The soldiers at the
front are supplied first, then the
troops in the rear, and If there IS
any left the civilian can take his
regular turn in getting his allot-
ment.
French tobacco at its best is pref
ty bad, most any American soldier
will assure you. But with the war
restrictions in preparation it is in
finitely worse. 1t is no more like
American tobacco than day is like
night. Apparently the French man
ufacturers do no blending. Tobacco
being a government monopoly, there
were even in the old days not more
than two or three brands. 1t all
looks alike-black and stringy and
tastes like natural leaf, only strong
er.
Walters in cafes and cab drivers
take their tips from American pat
rons in cigarettes or pipes full of
smoking tobacco. French million
aire bankers and clubmen are not a
bit abashed to have smoke with a
Yankee private soldier. There Is
one delightful thing about French
democracy-it hits them all alike.
The teamster, the carpenter and the
shoveler smoke as much as the mil
lionaire.
The greatest favor an American
soldier can do Frenchman is to-
give him a sack of American tobac-
co. Probably these little gifts of the
filthy weed" has done more to ce-
ment the Franco-American union
and to clear the way for mutual
understanding than any one thing
since the Yankees arrived in France
more than year ago.
French women are the most ap-'
preciative of all for tobacco gifts.
Not for themselves, but for their rel
atives and sweethearts in German
prison camps. 1t would be difficult
to estimate how many pounds OF
American tobacco the Yankee troop
er has sacrificed for a French friend
to send to the German stockades.
1t would be more difficult to esti-
mate how much Of it ever reached
its destination after it reached Ger
man hands. But some of it has
gone through and the French appre-
citation of the Americans sympathy
has Increased in nronOrtion
