INDIAN WAR VICTIM
First In Troops From Arizona to Fan
In Battle.

First In Troops From Arizona to FAN
In Battle.
The first native Arizonian TO lose
his life in France was an Indian, Mat
thew r. Rivers. better known at
Phoenix as Matthew Juan, who was
killed.
He was a native Pima Indian and
enlisted In a Texas unit. He was
known In California as Lucky SLIM"
where he was a baseball pitcher of
more than local reputation. He was
educated at the Sherman institute at
Riverside, Cal, and was a survivor OF
the Tuscania sinking en- route to
France.
Many native Arizona Indians have
enlisted In the army and navy here.
A majority expressed preference for
the navy, although many Of them had
lived all their lives on the desert and
had eve cen the ocean until they
enlisted.

HUNS POUR BLAZING
LIQUID ON WOUNDED
Flame Turned Against Unarmed Men
In Packed Trench by Bar
barians.

Details have been officially published
for the first time of gross outrages ON
British prisoners and wounded men
committed by the Germans last March.
Afiidayits of Scotch soldiers testify to
the authenticity of the charges.
A private of the Royal Highlanders
tells how he and a number Of com
rades, consisting of one officer and Is
men, ten of whom were wounded, were
compelled to surrender near Monchy
on March %. They were lined up in
the original front line trench, and af-
ter some time a German officer and two
men appeared.
One of the men, under orders of the
officer, turned a stream of liquid fire
straight down the trench i'm which the
Britishers were standing and continued
to spray them for six or seven minutes.
Another private testified that he
and other prisoners were marched
down a trench to an e~mplacement
about 6 feet deep, o feet wide, and from
8 to II feet long, and while they were
packed in the Enclosure two Germans,
of whom seemed to be an officer,
appeared. The other man had a CYL
inder on his back and attached to it
was a flexible pipe.
"Just as he reached the entrance to
the inclosure." said the soldier, "a
flame spurted out from the pipe and
caught the men. The other men lay
in heaps around and partly on me. 1
heard a kissing sound for a short while.
Then it stopped, but started again. BY
this time all the men were on the
ground"
Another soldier related how an off,
Ger, wounded in the head and foot, and
four others wounded and three I'M
wounded men, including himself, were
In an old trench when two Germans
appeared and used liquid fire.

80 IN PARIS U. s. EMBASSY
Working Force Eight Times What u
Was Before War.

So great have been the war de-
mands upon the diplomatic and con-
sular services of the United States In
France since America entered the con
fiict that the embassy has had nearly
to multiply eight times Its former
strength in Paris and the consulates
all over France have doubled their
forces. In addition there has been es-
tablished In Paris, either in the en-
bassy or In close liaison with its
branches Of the val trade board, the
Hoover food bureau and the committee
on public information. The working
force at the embassy before the war
began was about ten, exclusive of
secretaries and attaches. Today 1t Is
eighty.

Of the census, Is at the head OF the

BRIDGE COMPLETED
ACROSS sUEz CANAL
Work Of British Engineers Considered
important Event In History
Of the Orient.

The suspension bridge across the
Suez canal is now complete and part
of the railroad system. Direct trains
are running between here and Jeru-
salem. The building of this bridge is
one of the most important events in the
history of the Orient.
A long time before the war engineers
planned this span, which was to con
meet Egypt and Palestine. When wal
broke out nothing had been accom-
plished. A desert 200 miles wide lay
between the Suez and the end station
of the Jaffa-Jerusalem railway.
At the beginning of the wal the line
from Zagazig to Ismalja up to the
bank of the canal opposite Ell Kantara
was built. This line was to facilitate
the transport OF troops needed for the
protection of the canal and their
means of subsistence.
When English troops advanced into
the Sinai peninsula railroad builders
followed in their footsteps. In No
vember, when GAIA was taken, the
railroad builders were within a few
miles of that city. In the meantime
Turko-German forces had extended the
Jaffa-Jerusalem line from the north to
a point near GAIA. During February
General Allenby constructed the miss
ing link connecting the two railroad
lines. Then there was direct connec-
ton between Jerusalem and Ell Kan
tara.
To connect with Egypt 1t was neces-
sary to use a ferry. This caused de-
lay and annoyance. Besides, it cost
time and money. Actual military ne
cessity accomplished what had been
too much of a task for the engineers
before the war. A splendid suspension
bridge was built, which now furnishes
direct connection between the land of
Moses and the land of Pharaoh.

Novel Grounds for Divorce.

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. "a divorce
case on grounds decidedly out of the
ordinary has been started in district
court here by Christina Cassidy. She
claims that her husband forced her to
subsist for several months in 1916 on
green peanuts and when she complain
ed he substituted a diet of beans,
following this later with raw meat.
Continuing her allegations, she states
that he forced her to use an old stove
that smoked and that he refused to
let her open the windows.

SEE FAST RABBIT
Motorists Think American Soldiers
MIGHT Use Him.

Junction City (Kan.) motorists who
frequent a long, level north-and-south
road some miles west of town tell of
frequent aces with a huge jack rabbit
who, on occasion, gets up a speed of
forty miles an hour. The jacks size
would gain him recognition anywhere
regardless of his speed.
All Of the motorists tell of meeting
him in about the same spot each eve.
ming. He jumps into the road ahead
of the car and races for a distance of
several blocks, then darts into the
weeds beside the road and lets the car
pass him. Races with rabbits i'm the
evening are quite frequent; the head
lights blind them and they stay in the
road ahead of the car until they can
see to escape to the side of the road,
but this particular jack always meets
the machines at a certain point and
races with them until he reaches his
jumping-of place, so 1t is presumed
that he races the autos by intention
and not by accident.
Motorists tell Of having three and
four races with the same jack rabbit
within q week.

Mrs. e. H.. Porter Of Crittenden, KY.
has gained an enviable reputation this
season as a raiser of young chickens
and she now has a fine brood with nc
mother. One Of her hens sickened and
died recently, leaving a nestful of
eggs.
Mrs. Porter Immediately brought
her oil stove into requisition and put
her eggs near 1t and kept the room
closed and the eggs covered with
warm cloths, with the result that they
hatched at the proper time. The
chickens r lively and healthy, and
having never known any other mother
than Mrs. Porter they are quite happy
and do not miss the hen.
They will be looked after, fed, wa.
tered and given every opportunity by
their foster mother, we opine, and are
probably the first batch ever brought
off by the use of an old-fashioned
coal-oil stove.

Uniforms as Souvenirs-

IL IS one OF the proud privileges of
thousands OF veterans of the Civil war
mat they are able to show tn thair
children and grandchildren the mi.
forms in which they rendered service
to their country. No relics of tho con.
Hlct OF 1876 are more tenderlv
cherished than these.
Inc men who got into actual combat
IN the presnt war are in no wise diff
Ierent sentlmentally from the fighting
men OF half a century ago. Virtually
all OF them, we may believe, will wish
10 retain as souvenirs the garments in
winch they went into action in Europe
Ihey surely have earned the right to
mold fast to these visible associations
and just as surely, in most cases, the
uniforms would be of no further prac-
tlcal use to the government
1t Is to be hoped, therefore. that tho
order that all enlisted men DISCHARGED
from the army return to the govern
ment within four months the uniforms
in which they leave camp will not be
made to apply to those who smelled
the smoke, heard the roar and perhaps
felt the sting of battle
The fascination which these BATTLE
USED uniforms will have for the COM
ing generations will be enhanced bv
the fact that the wearing of them was
IN foreign lands. It will be a case of
distance lending enchantment.
The government may have good rea-
son Tor asking the return of the uni
forms which were worn only in the
home camps and environments. These
could not have as great sentimental
or moral value to the wearers as the
uniforms used in Europe have for the
soldiers who served there. Perhaps a
great majority of these home uniforms
are nearly as good as when they were
issued. They might be available for
use in future war, if there is to be
such thing, but not so much could
be said of the habiliments worn in &C.
ton at Belleau Woods, Chateau-Thier
ry, the st. Mihiel salient and in he
great movement forward on the Meuse.
BY all means, let the soldiers who
wore these keep them the rest of their
lives. The government will lose moth
ing worth while materially, and it
stands to gain much in finer WAYS be-
cause of the patriotic sentiment these
| precious relics will keep alive-Min-
| neapolis Tribune.
For once something appeared in the
editorial columns of the above news
paper that has our unqualified approx
al. If Uncle Sam cannot afford to give
the boys the uniforms they used in
the service, at least give them the
privilege of buying them a nominal
price, which most Of the bows would
be glad to pay.

A WARNING VOICE.

The following editorial written bv
Gunnar BjOrnson, who was chairman
of the Republican party of Minnesota
during the brief period in which it
hopelessly struggled against reaction
airy control is we'll worth reading. Not
that it will be needed by the powers
that be, for whom the gods would de-
stroy they first make mad" but it will
help our readers to get a clearer view
of what is going on, and that is the
mission Of the Willmar Tribune:
DANGER AHEAD.
The following sentence, from the
editorial columns of the Pioneer Press
for last Sunday, is significant:
I'VE are threatened, in this
country, as in most countries, with
a species of Bolshevism which,
left to itself, can be of no effect
against the good sense of the Ameri-
can people but which, If suppressed
by a coercive denial of constitu-
tional rights may become a seri.
Gus menace"
whether the Pioneer Press editor
who wrote that intended to tell the
truth so plainly, or whether the para,
graph just happened to get into the
editorial ball Of yarn by mistake, we
do not know, but we do know that
there is much truth in the sentence
quoted and that it is worth ponder.
ing over-even if it comes from an
uneXpected source.
But those who should ponder over it
most carefully are the ones who for
political and business purposes shout
"Bolshevism" at every movement that
does not fit in with their own selfish
schemes.
Certain restraints upon the consti.
tutional right Of free speech and a
free press were found necessary, and
for the best interests of the nation,
during the war period.
These restraints were imposed in
America, to an extent probably not
| surpassed in any other country and
| equalled in few.

Chicken Thieves Routed.

~h"~NSu uuSVVo nVOSOOs
Two men in an old Ford car got
rather unexpected reception when they
drove into a farm yard nine miles
northeast of Litchfield last week. The
owners were in Minneapolis over
Thanksgiving leaving an 10 year old
son in charge of the place. Thurs
day noon two men drove in the yard
turned around and went out again.
The son and several other boys we're
in the barn and saw them. That
night while the boys were eating sup
per, the same car came in again.
They hailed the car, but is never
stopped. Friday night the son was
home alone and the house was dark,
he being out in the yard when he
heard a car without lights drive in
the yard. He ran in the house and
got the shot gun, slipping shells in
and got out in the yard behind a
large tree. The car drove way back
into the yard and turned around near
the chicken house and stopped. The
car was recognized as being the same
one that had made the other visits.
One man got out and the young man
called Hello Guy" The man turned
back into the car and told the driver
to chit it." Halt or I'll shoot" but
the car did not stop and he shot at a
disappearing foot on the running
board. The car kept on going and
the gun was raised and fired the shot
entering the front of the car. This
shot brought howl of pain, but
they never stopped going west and
disappeared in the darkness. Un-
doubtedly they are picking shots in
stead of feathers.-L1tchfleld hide
