Morale

Ii Is too soon yet to estimate the inn portance and effects of the Austrian check and final retreat behind the Piave after winning hold on the western bank. De- tails are lacking and the Italian counter stroke has not yet had time to develop.
 It may be only withdrawal for Austria, and again it may be disaster In either case its moral effect for the worse will be tremendous in Austria and felt not little in Germany. In the allied nations this moral effect will be for the better It has been long time since we have had any news of a victory. Not since General Byng threw the Germans back at Cambrai late last fall And news of this success comes from line that we feared might be bent back at the worst, if not broken Aus tria mustered lO0,000,000 men and nearly 5000 cannon for this offensive Its result shows that either Italy Is very strong or Austria Is very weak in offensive power in spite of her numbers and her guns. After all, it Is the heart and not the arm or the weapon that wins battles in the long run, when numbers and resources are anywhere near equal The late news from the Italian front IS not as good as it might be; the Austrians are resisting desperately and seem to be making their withdrawal in

War Stamps

In war the dollar wisely used fights for this country like man well armed, says the Washington Times. Every citizen should keep every dollar at work the loose change -harnessing it up in the shape of war stamps for the quarters and dollars, Liberty bonds for larger amounts.
 The government lets you become patri- otic hoarder on basis that produces the following three remarkable results:
 First-You cannot lose your money It cannot be stolen;
 Second-Whie it is hoarded beyond all possible reach of danger it is earning liberal interest for you, every hour, working or sleeping, you are gradually getting richer;
 Third-ln addition to being safe and earning interest for you, the money wisely boarded in government bonds or war stamps i3 actually at work fighting for your country. e,
 Do not think 1t unnecessary to say it and repeat the simple fact.
 To your children, to the many who look upon finance as mystery, 1t is your duty, because you know more, to explain the facts, every day. Such explanation Is use Iul, necessary war WOIk
 No enc person may own more than $l 900 worth of these stamps.
 Carnegie, Rockefeller, dozens of others would buy them by the millions if allowed to. As far away as the Argentine Repub- lie, intelligent people are investing their money in these war stamps, seizing the op- portunity never known before and never to be known again, to invest money at com pound interest, which means interest on the interest.
 Take a one-dollar bill, or thousand dollar bill, and you will read The United States of America will pay to the bearer on demand
 That is all your money is-A PROMISE TO PAY.
 Your war stamp or government bond IS a promise to pay PLUS INTEREST.
 And war stamps and Liberty bonds rep resent the governments promise to pay BEFORE IT PAYS ANYTHING ELSE.
 If necessary this government would take every dollar owned by every rich man in the country to pay those bonds and those war stamps.
 The child with one dollar in stamps has an investment safer than any that John D. Rockefeller owns, except the government stamps or bonds that he has bought.
 Everything else may go down, but gov ernment securities will be 100 cents on the dollar plus interest as long as the govern ment stands.

some order; but still it is mighty good news. And better news may yet come, when the entire Italian line sweeps forward. A very small incident may well change this retreat into a rout. Anyway, Germany and Austria, striking their hardest blows with their full strength, have found the allies all there and ready for more. The buster of the March winds looked brighter to Kaiser Wilhelm than does the red sheen of the June roses.

ceived from Dr. Alexander of San Simon, a hunter of experience, that he saw a native elk in the mountains a year ago and subsequently, the same elk again. Eight years ago no elk had been imported to this state, and. so far as known, the last elk was killed in the state 29 years ago. For merly they ranged in great numbers through the higher portions of New Mexico and Arizona The plateau be- tween the Grand Canyon and Ash Fork fed many of them. Antlers which have been picked up prove this. These elk were of different kind from those that lived in the north.
 Every southeTner at Camp Harry J. Jones is now being examined for hook worm. IL is almost exclusively a dis ease of the southern states so that men from the north are not exam ined. To carry on the work labora- tory has been fitted up in the camp with Major C. A. KOtoid in charge. The latter arrived here last week with a crew of fifteen men travelling in the special car "Metchniko1," a Pullman fitted up for laboratory pur- porses. It is known as travelling laboratory unit of the United States army and is attached to the southern department All southern soldiers in the Arizona district are now being ex- amined The analysis and mieroscopi- cal examination which reveals the egg of the hook worm has already demon strated the presence of the disease at Camp Harry J. Jones. The 'Metch- nikoff' was given to the army by the Red Cross for the purpose for which it is now being used.

James DOuglGs

The death of Dr. James Douglas in New York City yesterday morning marks the passing of both great and good man. He made mark in the world of science, not alone because of his knowledge and ability, but because of his progress and develop ment along pioneer lines. lie led in those dark places along the way where one must grope and struggle and toll and doubt and often meet despair face to face before meet ing success. He was also a recognized authority upon many technical subjects and his historical and scientific writings are known and respected among men of learn ing. He was a philanthropist upon no small scale, but in this respect he kept his light under bushel to degree that only few intimate friends probably know any thing of the extent of his gifts and char ities As for the part he played in the de velopment and building of this section of the southwest it can scarcely be estimated. Few, if any, of the great mining fields of this state but that have had his aid and council when these were needed the most in the old pioneer days.
 He left his indelible mark upon the cop per mining industry of Arizona. His genius in the science of the treatment of metals led the way to the place this state now occu- pies at the head of copper producing states. His faith in the Mule mountain ore bodies made Bisbee the greatest copper camp Tn the world. Douglas, the smelter city, was most appropriately named after the man who did so much towards perfecting the smelling of copper ore.
 And the great southwest not only ad- mired Dr. Douglas for his talents and his success and was grateful to him for all that he had done for her, but she loves him for the fine and noble qualities of his heart
 He was never too busy in his great works to remember and to help friend or com rade of the old pioneer days He made men happy Seldom indeed, searching among million men, can be found such great quail ities of heart and mind in one tenement of clay
 Dr. Douglas imprint is upon the south west, graven as deep as the deepest shaft in any mountain side, and marked by wonder ful cities and camps in the pleasant, sun kissed, wind-swept Arizona valleys. Yesl But it is deeper still and more lasting still, in the hearts of hundreds of men who were here in the old days and who knew Dr. Douglas face to face and as man to man. When these men speak of him it is not of the scientist the writer the organizer that they speak; it is the MAN. And, please God, whatever its faults or failings or shortcomings or roughness or newness that the southwest may have, it has always been a hard, true judge of MEN! And this, its verdict of Dr James Douglas, will stand forever and for aye.

It's c Long Nay to Venice

It's long way to Venice by the noun tain route, and it is longer still by the Piave. Looks like there might be some pretty foot sore Austrians before they embark in gondola bound for the steps of the doege's palace They will probably stop awhile on the way at the bridge of sighs.

PLANTATION NO. ii
is NOW COMING BACK

Our old friend. Plantation No. IA,
over in Washington county, 16 miles
northeast of Machas, which has
been having its trouble to keep UP its
corporate existence, and which ac-
cording to the census of 1910 had a
population of 50. with % polls and a
valuation of s55,2oo, is doing its level
best to come back and everything
promises well to that end.
1t will be remembered that the
voters in Plantation No. IA did not
have the opportunity Of voting at the
June primaries. because thew had no
organization that could or did attend
TO the necessary business. That was
not pleasing to the most of them and
steps were Immediately taken to
have things in running order for the
September election.
Secretary of State Frank r.. Ball
was consulted and gave the informa
ton necessary to put the plantation
back in the running and interested
men at once took hold Of the matter.
