WEBSTER NAMED ON COUNCIL.

Last Wednesday Governor Hunt named George Webster of this city, to represent Green lee county on the State Council of Defense. This is the third nomination by the governor to have Greenlee represented. Both of the other appointments failed to be confirmed by the Beard of Supervisors and it was rumorel that no other appointments would be made, but Greenlee was not rocking the boat, nor interested itself one way or the other All seemed satisfied to be without representation unless man was appointed who would be ac- ceptable to the Board, which stood ready to confirm any nominee the governor might make who could command the cooperation of the whole people.
 It is believed that the present appointee will not be opposed, though the Copper Era has no authority to speak for the Board.
 It is often the case when there are men of ability and integrity, who are eminently quail fled to discharge certain duties of the position to which they may be appointed, yet by cer- tain personalities they may have engendered such antagonism that they could not secure the cooperation of the whole people, or a sufficient number to make their administration efficient.
 It is not believed that the present and last appointee can be so classed, and it is very probable that his appointment will be confirm ed just as soon as the Board of Supervisors are in session.
 But the Governor has found rough sled ding in getting his appointees confirmed He seems to have adopted the theory of ignoring the wishes of the counties for which he has named the representatives.
 Two appointees have been turned down ;~ n,oon1aa opd ono o, txpo othar c011ntiaS sides Cochise, has rejected his nominees. Co chise up to this good hour is without represen- tation. His last nimonation, Senator Charles M Roberts, has not been confirmed. Neither has he been rejected by the Board of Supervis ors of that county, but they do not seem to be in a hurry to convent and confirm the appoint ment.
 With the confirmation of Senator Roberts of Cochise and that MT. Webster of Greenlee, the Council of Defense will be complete

 Sugar certificates for August should not be issued. Full instructions will be sent you by mail in few days. Allowance for house. holders has been reduced to two pounds per person per month. Hotels, restaurants and public eating houses will be allotted on basis of two pounds per every ninety meals serv- ed. '' RIORDAN

Watch Out for the Dog Man

Watch Out for the Dog Man
 The city dog ordinance is now in effect. Marshal Young states that the enforcement of this law will be in augurated just as soon as the license tags arrive. If you have dog which you do not want killed dig up the price, $2, as the city needs the money, or the dog will be sent to his happy hunting ground. Might evade the tax by sending the dog out in the country to enjoy the heated term, but it will only defer a hard ordeal

It seems that the deadly work of the Yan- kees have struck terror to the heartess Huns They are now complaining of the unfair methods of the American fighters, charging that they are using the deadly sawed-off shot guns for close range effectiveness. This method has always proved effective against bandits in America and all hope they will be as deadly to German bandits, if used. But where does the howl of the Hun come in?

DEMANDS ANTWERP ROUTE.
Cologne Gazette Asserts it is Vital to
German Trade.

In a long editorial concerning the i'm |
portance for German commerce of the |
empire retaining control OF Germany g
lines of communication with the outside
world, the Cologne Gazette, which some
times speaks for the Government in Ber-
lin. recently laid great stress upon the
value OF Antwerp as an exit for Germany
and minated that, under no circum-
stances, would the German Government
conclude a peace which would bar Ger
man trade from the great Belgian port.
The article began by asserting that
Germany before the war had economi-
cally outgrown her political frontiers; she
had economically become a World Power
while politically she renamed a Contnen-
tai Power and the consequent tension"
| was among the most important forces lead
| ng to war. During the war Germany has
| learned what dangers lie in the incon-
| gruity Of her economic and her political
| strength, and these lessons are said to
apply not only to German oversee inter-
ests, but TO the position of Germany in
Europe
Then, az quoted BY The London Times,
| the Gazette continued:
| The world economic position Of Ger
many is seriously impaired by the forma-
ton OF her coast. Her political history
has deprived her of the control over the
mouths OF the Rhine, the Meuse, and the
| Scheldt, and thereby of the natural gates
Of exit and entry for her foreign trade
| Economic relations had to make good
what the empire had lost Thus the
Dutch and Belgian ports served German
trade to the widest extent, and III great
part owe to German trade their develop
ment. Both Holland and Belgium in
their own interests always promoted this
German trade with the seaports naturally
destined for it. As regards Holland, we
can assume that in the future also she
Will see her MISUNDERSTOOD interests in
cultivating these natural relations, and
that she will not allow Germany's enemies
to force her into the part of a leader III
the economic war.
But how do matters stand with Bel
GUM? King Albert's government openly
proclalms enmlty TO the death even after
the war. In association with the Bel
gian Frenchlings and with the Frencf
themselves, the Belgian Government is
armlng Tor economic war against Ger
many. Thus one OF our main trade roads
to the open world sea is threatened
Neither the Dutch seaports especially
Rotterdam. nor the German seaports
can provide substitute This is proved
by glance at the map. The road, fol
example. from the southwest German
iron district to Rotterdam is about hall
as long again as the road to Antwerp
which was unique in the multiplicity Of
its freight facilities
The article concludes with the argu
ment that Germany must solve her prob
lens at the expense OF England.

\ narrow cloud Of outline quaint,
Much Ike a human hand;
And after it, with following faint
Came up dull, gray, frightening

OF small cloud-hilows like seasand.
And then, out OF the gaps Of blue,
Lett movcless in the sky, there grew
Long snaky knots Of sable mist,
Which counter-winds did vex and twis.,
Knitted and loosed, and tossed and tore,
Like passive weeds on that sandy shore
And these seemed with their touch I,

The sweet. white upper clouds, and
checked
Their pacing on the heavenly floor,
And quenched the light. . 49,.
