FRENCHMAN GIVES
 AMERICANS PRAISE
(By Review Leased NIrel

PARIS, May 4.-"The end will show which weighed most in the balance. Austrian cannon as endorsements to the enemy, or the battalions which crossed the Atlantic to support the de- lenders of right" says a special dis patch to the Temps, describing a visit to the American troops at the front ''The French-British liason has been rightly described as intimate; the Franco-American is, if possible, still closer. It is real fusion. Every dOcu- ment of one of the French divisions touching the Americans is immediately translated and communicated to the allies. There are two uniforms, two languages, but one army"
 The correspondent asked a French artillery colonel, who is well known in Washington, what he thought of his American allies. The colonel replied:
 "We value them highly of course. There are lots of tricks which we learedn-at what cost-which we can hand on, but I am astonished at their faculty of assimilation.
 Take my arm of the service. One of the greatest difficulties in artillery is the utilization of observation points. You can hardly imagine the work in- volved ;n properly using the informa- tion collected at these posts. Our Am erican comrades have succeeded splen- didly in this delicate work"

Arizona Military Band
 To Tour Baby State M
 Bic Red Cross Benefit
Musical Organization Now at Camp Funston Kansas Is Preparing for Twenty Day Concert Trip Through Cities from Which Members Were Drafted; Thomas Egan Prepares to Receive Soldiers in District.

940th F. A., Camp Funston, Kansas, in which he states that their band, composed of Arizona men, has been granted permission to make a tour through their home state, providing financial arrangements can be made. He states that the 340th band is rated as one of the best in the camp, and carries in addition several soloists, both vocal and instrumental, as well as an excellent orchestra.
 "The proposition is that this band will make a tour of this state, putting on concerts and entertainments for which they will charge an admission fee of s1.00. The proceeds, after de ducting the transportation and other necessary travelling expenses, will be donated to the Red Cross.
 Chambers Must Act
 "This band will tour the state if the various chambers of commerce throughout the state can arrange to promote the proposition in their re- spective communities. This will ne cessitate the local chamber securing the hall, arranging the bookings and lne duNeTtlSlnSs anu duNdHClnS tne travelling expenses.
 This, in my estimation, is a splen- did proposition and will allow these boys, all from our state, to see their home folks one last time before they leave for France It will also help to enthusiasm and patriotism throughout the state. I feel that il we can get together on this proposition, I would suggest that we include Phoe- nix. Tucson, Douglas, Prescott, Globe, Jerome, Ray and Bisbee in the sched- ule. It will be up to us to set our own dates. The band, as I understand it, will be granted 20 days leave, and they can leave at any time prior to May 20th. I am writing this letter to above mentioned chambers of com meree. It is necessary that We take quick action in this matter in order to put the proposition over
 Yours very truly,
 Thomas A. Egan,
 Secretary"

FRIENDLY RELATION BETWEEN JAPAN AND
 U. s. IS PREDICTED

TOXIC, March 21 Correspondence of The Associated Press)- Friendly cooperation between Japan and the United States was the spirit of the speeches delivered last night at a. din ner given by the American-Japan So- ciety in .honor of Viscount Ishii, the new ambassador to Washington, the former ambassador, Aimaro Sato, and Baron Megata, the chief of the Japan csc financial mission which recently visited America.
 Besides the guests, the speakers in cluded Roland S. Morris, the Ameri- can ambassador, Viscount Kaneko, the president of the society, Dr. H. Blake. of Yokohama, member of the executive committee. and Dr. J. Tax anime, of New York
 Viscount Ishii expressed his convic- ticn that, among the many changes which are fated to be brought about by this great war, the most fundamen- tai one should be in the field of diplo- macy. To his mind the German way of international dealing land Pan-Ger- manism should be eradicated. The ambassador was convinced that jus tice and fairness as we'll as frankness and sincerity should be their sole guidance in all dealings between civil ized nations.
 An especial cause of satisfaction and qualification was found in the excellent relations actually existing between Japan and the United States. Today there were no disturbing clouds on the horizon of the Pacific and, in fact, the relations between Japan and America had never been so cordial and friendly as at this moment He warned his hearers. however, that a vigilant watch must ever be main tained lest the ever active enemy should again slip in and renew his at tempts to SOW the seeds of discord as he had done with no small success in the past
 Baron Megata voiced his thanks for the sympathy, consideration and help with which his mission was received in the United States. He believed the visit would tend to a clearer and bet ter understanding between the two nations. He said his visit had brought lhO JdRaACoC AllO NAOSCk lO0Nal Mlln American leaders in industry and fi- nance and had suggested more oppor- tunities and possibilities for coopera- tive endeavor. between the two na- tions, especially in the Far East He urged more exchange visits between the countries in the future.
 Ambassador Morris praised the ac- complishments of Viscount Ishii and said that the United States was to be congratulated on his selection as am bassador to Washington.
 Viscount Kaneko declared that at this critical moment of the war they should send a message to the soldiers and sailors of the allies urging them to fight to the end and declaring that all the men and resources of the Unit ed States and Japan are ready for their support.

Sweeping Terms of Sabotage Act as Analysed by Department Of Justice

troops may be transported It is not restricted to railroads or vessels or ether transportation facilities upon which war materials or troops are be ing transported, but includes all those which may be used in the transpOrta- tion Of war material or troops.
 Includes all Public Utilities
 This practically means any part of the transportation system or trans pOrtation facilities of the United States. It also includes public utili- ties. which supply war industry plants such as the water, light. telephone and telegraph service to war industry plants or to forts, camps, and other military and naval stations.
 In short, practically speaking. the whole industrial and agricultural re- sources Of the United States, all of it's transportation and shipping ia ilities all of it's public utilities and all parts thereof and all products of industry cld agriculture and all parts thereof suitable for war use fall within the protection of this act Nor is it ne cessary in q prosecution under this act to prove that the person guilty of injuring or destroying any war materi- al or war premises OF war utilities in- tended to interfere with the prosecu- ton of the war. IL is sufficient to prove that he had reason to believe that his act might injure. interfere with or obstruct the United States or one of the allies in preparing for or carrying on the war.
 As the entire material resources. of the United States are enga eed. direct ly or indirectly, in the prosecution of the war, everyone has reason to be- Iieve that any injury or destruction of any of these resources may injure interfere with or obstruct the prepar ations for or the carrying on of the war. The fact that the act of injury or destruction, therefore, was not com mitted to benefit the enemy or for the purposes of hampering the, prosecu- tion of the war. will furnish no ex- cuse in a prosecution under this ac,.
 For the first time, the United States through it's Department of Justice, is by this act furnished with an effective weapon against all willful acts of de- struction or injury which directly or indirectly weaken or retard the prep arations for the war or the actual con duct of the war.

The act of Congress entitled "An act to punish the willful injury or de struction of war material. or of war premises or utilities used in connec- tion with war material. and for other purposes" (popularly known as the sabotage bilD approved April 20, 1918, is the most important and sweeping of all war statutes relating to hostile or antiwar activities, as analysed by the department of justice in bulletin just issued.

 It provides a punishment of a fine not to exceed S10,OO0 or Imprisonment for not more than 30 years, or both, for the willful injury or destruction of war material, war industries. or war utilities.

 Sweeping in it's Scope
 It includes every possible kind of supplies of a nature which could he used by the United States government CT any cfth allies in the prosecution of the war It includes not only the finished articles. but all parts and in .gredients. As almost everything that is being grown or made today is eith- CT for the use of the United States or the allies or suitable for such use, this bill practically protects articles and supplies of every character. the whole product of agriculture and in- dustry in the United States. Whoev- CT willfully destroys or iniures or makes in a defective manner or caus- es to be made in a defective manner any of such supplies, materials. parts CT ingredients, can be punished under this act.

REAL PATRIOTS

Among the real patriots of the pres
ent period stands the little Mitchell,
South Dakota, boy, who gave his pet
guinea pig to the Red Cross because
he had nothing else to give. The lit
tie pet was all he had to offer and he
loved it dearly, but he marched up like
a true soldier and turned in his Soon
tribution." 1t is pleasing to add that
the true American spirit was displayed
when after having been sold and
turned back to the Red Cross several
times, that the last bidder returned
the pet to the boy, much to the lat
ter's delight. A similar case was that

own accord to the expense and incon-
venience of surgery so that they may
not be barred from serving. Of two
Young men in like circumstances, one
will ~cheerfully waive all claims to ex-
emption while another will go to abb
surd lengths to convince the officials
that he cannot be spared.
Very likely it has occurred to the
draft officials that in this state Of af-
fairs lies the strongest possible argu-
ment for the selective draft, Most Of
the men who are now willing to serve
might have been brought into the ma
tons service without the c%ompulsion
of the draft, but the shirkers would be
unassailable in their selfishness, and
their share of the national burden
would have been thrown to other
shoulders.
That is why a measure of forced
military service was necessary, anc
that is likewise why the country viii

fast cereals should reduce their pur-

fast cereals should reduce their pur-
chases and consumption of wheat and
wheat flour to 70 per cent Of their
1917 requirements, and all bakers of
bread and rolls to 80 per cent of the
current requirements. Consumers
should reduce their purchases of wheat
products for home preparation to at
most 20 per cent of those of last year,
or. when buying bread should purchase
mixed cereal breads from the bakers.
To provide sufficient cereal food,
homes, public eating places, dealers
and manufacturers should substitute
potatoes, vegetables, corn, barley, oats,
asd rice products, and the mixed cer-
cal bread and other products Of the
bakers which contain an admixture Of
other cereals,
In order that consumption may be
restricted to this extent, Mondays and
Wednesdays should be observed as
wheatless days each week, and n
meal each day should be observed as
a wheatless meal.
In both homes and public eating
| places, in order to reduce the con.
sumption of beef, pork and sheep pro-
| ducts, Tuesday should be observed as
meatless day in each week, and one
meatless meal should be observed in
in each day; while. in addition Satur-
day in each week should further be
observed as a day upon which there
should be no consumption of pork pro-
ducts.
A continued economy in the use Of
sugar will be necessary until later IN
the year.
1t is imperative that all waste and
unnecessary consumption of all sorts
of foodstuffs should be rigidly elimin-
ated.
The maintenance Of the health and
strength of our own people is vitality
necessary at this time, and there
should be no dangerous restriction OF
the food supply; but the elimination
of every sort of waste and the sub
titution of other commodities of which
we have more abundant supplies tol
those which we need to save, will II
no way impair the strength OF ou1
people and will enable us to meet on'
of the most pressing obligations OF tn
