many months before this deficiency has
been corrected.
Taken as a whole, the allies are ready
for any contingency.
The Germans likewise continue their
preparations. 1t is "a significant fact
that large forces now are being train
ed in open warfare. Evidently the Ger
mans believe that the coming year will
carry both groups of heliigerents out
of the trenches and into the open.
where the battles may be won or lost.
The Germans are bringing up Hun
garian units well as Turks and Bu!-
moved to the Flanders front. This is
further indication of the completeness
of the Teutonic preparations.
Each week sees an increase in actual
fighting along the hole front. This
condition win continue until the real
and chief battles are begun. The Ger
mans during the past week engaged in
several raids south of the River Scarpe
and to the north of st. Quentin. near
Arleux-en-G -Gphelle. Wutschaete, Poly
gon wood near Mercken, on the Ypres-
Roulers railway and in the region of
Arnlentieres. but. barring small success
against two British posts in Flanders.
Gen. Haig's men turned the enemy
back. The Germans likewise attempted
to raid French positions northwest of
Rheims. in the sector southwest of
Butte de Mesnil. northwest of Courcy
and Four de Paris. but again were
checked in their ambitions. The French
scored striking success in Lorraine
during the past week where German
positions over front of several hum
dred yards were stormed and more
than half a hundred prisoners taken
in addition to the infiiction of heavy
losses on the enemy. The effectiveness
of the French artillery was proved
northwest of Rheims, where before
successful raid the French guns poured
) 900 projectiles into enemy positions
in a period of fifteen minutes. British
raids against enemy positions near
Houltholst forest, south of Lens, near
Epehy. Wytschaete. Polygon wood, Were
successful. prisoners being taken and
much valuable information obtained.
The work of the allied aviators dur
ing the past week has been particular
ly striking. Successes have been scored
over the whole front and the Germans
have lost more than a hundred air
planes as result of the weeks work.
The allies have poured streams of bombs

SAYS u. S. SOLDIERS WANT
TO GET CHANCE AT HUNS

One District boy serving in the Signal
Corps at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Tex.
has a perfectly definite idea Of why he
is in the war. He is Herbert Freas OF
Brightwood, and in a letter to his sister,
Miss Dora Freas. he writes:
You asked me why all the men want
to get to France. There are many rea-
sons. I think, why they have enlisted.
They want to get over and have .
chance at the Huns. They know that
the winning of this war depends on the
American soldiers, and the men want
to show their sisters and mothers that
they can whip the whole German army
and navy, no matter how strong these
are Another reason is that they re-s
member the insults the Huns gave us
before We went into the war. by sinking
American ships with women and chfl-
dren on board. leaving them to drown.
They remember that a German sub
sank an American transport carrying
soldiers. Now. every soldiers is like .
brother to every other one. and you
know any one will avenge the death OF
and everything I have gotten
has had so much encouragement In tt
that would do anything for the 6tax
Spangled Banner.

summer the lower section of what the
allies now are pleased to call the west

scene of some of the most bitter fight
ing Of the war. The character of ter
rain alone insures sahguinary strug-
giles. In addition to this. both the Teu-
tonic armies and those of the allies.
French. British and italian. have in
creased their offensive and defensive
power during the past few months or
SINCE the main German drive for the
heart of Italy was checked on the
Piave and in the mountains skirtinS
the Venetian plains.
The Teutonic command has made some
establishments. The main body of Ger
mans who participated in the offensive,
starting from the 1sonzo. have been
moved to France OIL. Flanders. but their
place has been taken by Austrian d.
visions moved from the Russian front
and by Hungarian units. Though
weather conditions have been adverse,
the Teutons have managed to increase
their offensive power in guns. many of
the more effective large weapons hav-
ing been brought up during the period
of comparative lull. The airplane
strength of the Austrians and their
allies likewise has increased, while it
is safe to say that several additional
divisions have been moved to this
front. Communication lines have been
streng thened. and the Austrians will
be in better shape than in many months
when the Teutonic endeavor to break
down over the plains of Italy is re-
sumed.
But while the Austrian strength may
be greater in every respect the same
Italians halted on the Piave and their
present line in the mountains It was
military miracle that they held firm.
though their tremendous resistance and
decidedly heroic stand cannot be dis
counted in the least. That they man
aged to hold in the face of extreme
odds forms one of the brilliant facts
in the wars history.
When the Teutonic offensive came to
a halt and after a. series of desperate
attempts to break through the noun
; tain passes onto the Venetian pla ins
definitely were halted. the French and
British sent great forces to the assist
ance of the Italians. This stream of re-
Inducements has continued during the
past two months, and the French and
British armies on this front are greater
than planned when it first was deter
mined that aid would be sent to imper-
lied Italy. The French and British
forces, all seasoned veterans. have with
them such artillery as is needed and
the allied airplane service now plainly
predominates over that of the enemy

many has everything to gain in the
way of extension of her influence in
the east without dealing with the Rus
slams at all. They we'll know that the
better elements of the nation cannot
rally quick enough to prevent the Ger
man invasion. and as the bolshevikt are
under the kaisers thumb there is no
great reason why they should treat
further with these apostles of national
detructiveness, at the present moment
at least.
Tie bolshevis leaders have called on all
Russians TO resist the enemy. No matter
how high sounding this may be. the fact
remains that the Russians, were they to
engage in prolonged guerrilla warfare,
could not impede organized German ag
gression, ii this advance is made by ma
terial numbers of seasoned forces. Fur
thermore, the appeal, in view of the way
in which the bolsheviki have generally
been discredited, probably will receive lit
tie response except from the more radi-
cal elements of the nation Should the
boIsheviki be overthrovn and all Russians
with the best interests of the nation at
heart assemble in the lower sections of
the nation and organize their military
powers, the Germans might, in time. be
compelled to modify their present plans,
but until that time comes the world is
sure to witness a gradual broadening of
Teutonic influence throughout the Rus

Mexicans and negroes. For some time past it has been regarded as a hOt-bed of food viOlatOrs and has given the officers considerable trouble in other respects. Though it was felt that there was more or less violation of the food regulations, however. it was difficult to secure concrete evidence. Finally this was obtained quite by accident.
 On July the county food admins trator issued a certificate to one, Leo cardio Ponce. allowing him fifty pounds of sugar for the manufacture of ice cream On the same night Ponce's place of business was visit ew by officers in search of liquor. Among other things they found the fifty-pound sugar certificate and with it 250 pounds of sugar. This was sack ed in ten-pound bags and hidden away in egg cases.
 It was this circumstance that led Mullen to call for federal assistance. The federal food administrator for Ari- zona sent a secret service officer to the scene and the raid was carried out by the officers visiting several es- tablishments simultaneously.
 What action will De taken against the hoarders has not yet been deter mined. All are held under surveillance and in the meantime Sonora is patriO- tically inclined.
 On July 16 the federal food admins trator for Arizona issued an order closing the place of business of Charles Guam, proprietor of the Amer ican Kitchen at Mesa for three days and imposing fine of S1O0 to be paid to the Red Cross.
 In a hearing held before S. J. Buck ingham. county food administrator for Maricopa county, Quam was found guilty of having violated certain regu- lations of the hotel'and restaurant di- vision with reference to the serving of sandwiches and the sale of bread. This was deemed tO be in unfair com petition with other Mesa restaurants. which were strictly complying with the regulations.

COUNCIL AGREES ID
 CURFEW ENFORCEMENT

At the city council meeting held last Tuesday night it was agreed that the existing curfew ordinance be put into effect and enforced. By the terms of this ordinance all children under the age of 16 years must be off the streets after 9 o'clock. The police will have the authority to take any child less than 16 years of age out of picture shows or from public dances after g o'clock at night unless they are prop erly chaperoned either by their par ents or other reliable persons. Should parents fail to cooperate with the city in this matter and see that the ordin- ance is carried out to the full extent, they may be subject to either a fine or Imprisonment.
 An effort will be made to secure appointment of a police woman to as- sist in the enforcement of this oTdin- ance. The resolution requestion the enforcement of the curfew ordinance were presented to the council by Miss Colton, secretary of the Y. W. c. A., and City Marshal J. A. Kempton was instructed to enforce the law. The committee in charge of the resolution was composed of Mrs. James Stewart, president of the Parent-Teachers ass0- citation; Miss Cotton, Mrs. C. H.

 The cleanup of the Mexican hoard CTS was one of the most successful ever carried out in this state. and its effect will be to implant a wholesome respect for Uncle Sam's food admins trations in the breasts of those cer- tin foreigners who were inclined to look upon them as a joke.
 Hoarding was something akin to bootlegging .with these simple minds. It was perfectly legitimate as long as one could get away with it, but that viewpoint has been altogether changed.
