MOVING AN ARMY

Moving great army is affair of timetables There Is room for only certain amount of men and material on the roads and railways at one time and every man and every wagon above that maximum be- comes factor of confusion and the movement or the whole mass to dangerous degree The sud- den retreat of an army is often reduced to chaos 1rst because thoroughly worked plan of general retirement exists but rarely in the strong of any general staff. and secondly, because the absence of time table drawn up in detail and strictly en- forced the elementary principle of self preservation leads every unit of the army put itself on the road Just as quickly as 1t can get transportation This is not to say that confusion is invariable indication or personal panic but it is very natural and even very proper, that every battery commander the d- rector of every military store and depot and the leader of every body of troops not definitely ordered to remain should have the individual deter mlnaton that his particular command shall not fall into the hands of the enemy. The artillery officer Firmly resolves that he will his guns at all costs: the heads of supply departments are in charge of val
 uabe stores which their army needs for it's very ex lstence if captured and the troop leader naturally argues that it would be futile to allow his men to he cut oft when general retreat has a-ready been or dered So If the organization of withdrawal is left to the discretion of the people involved it. as it has to be when the whole thing has not been deliberately arranged beforehand, confusion is almost inevitable G.

increasing the penalty for it's violation and providing for the confiscaton of automobiles vehicles by which liquor is brought into the state
 An anomaus feature too, of our prohbitory legis- lation, is the refusal to regard liquor contra band unless it is found in the possession of who has introduced it or who is trying to sell it. There Is probably very little liquor in the state now that was here year and four months ago when it's importation on any pretext became a crime It is safe to assume that any man who is in possess sion of liquor has encouraged the crime of importa tion.
 Though prohibition law is a very good one yet it furnishes sort of a compromise with crime and in that respect should be amended The voters should see to that in the selection of candidates for the legislature and should elect men who will not hesitate to make the law thoroughly effective They should also elect to administrative judicial posi- tons only men who will enforce the law vigorously

JUDGE FRANK ]. SMITH TELLS OF AID ALL MAY GIVE BOYS ON OTHER SIDE IF WATER

giving our men something better to divert their tired minds and lonely hearts, and it is up to you people at home to get in and help, if you wish to save your boys, and help win the war.
 'So just double what you gave the '. M. C. A. and make young Arizona the banner state in giving, so our brave soldier lads may come home to the women who love them and have worked for them-whether privates or officers, what matters ?-but back to you with the words: I am the captain of my soul, 1 am the master of my fate.'
 q am now afield at Romilly-Sur
 Seinz, being about 100 miles from Paris. I am seeing thousands of French soldiers daily, and it is an eX- perience worth crossing the ocean to see; so cheerful, so capable, so sea- soned to hardship and so sure of vic
 tory.
 ''The American soldiers are quick to catch on and are learning every day taking short methods, too. I do not know if it will become necessary for them to order larger sized hats or not, | for one could not blame them is their | heads are little swelled, so open and l flattering is the admiration the French
 soldier has for his friend, the U. $. 1 Sammy. I wish you could hear them pronounce that word-and, whatever this war does, one thing is sure, the i friendship of France for America will | be everlasting.
 Send my kindest regards on to my i friends in Arizona; how far-away Ari-
 zona seems, yet I like to throw my
 memory back across the sea and think | that Out where the hand clasps a little stronger-that's where the west begins,' and tell them to write to every ] boy they know over here and to some
 they don't know; for I know, while
 they wouldn't come back for worlds till l they've seen the ching through, at
 times, there is a lonely feeling in the heart for home"

COURT
 CRITIC CHILLED

Provoking the sarcasm of certain of the best known members of the Mari copa county bar by the statement that a lawyer could not get his cases tried in court, A. $. Hawkins, was the tar get for the attorneys who assembled at the association meeting called yes terday morning for the purpose of fix ing the court hours when the daylight saving plan goes into effect.
 He was advised to return to Texas if he did not like the manner in which the courts were conducted in Arizona.
 Claiming that the courts were behind in their cases MT. Hawkins aroused the indignation of the members among whom was Judge c. F. Ainsworth who signified that Hawkins was lost when he came to a city the size of Phoenix from the backwoods of Texas. Forty years ago there wasn't much business in the small villages of the south, said Judge Ainsworth who would not com pare that situation with that of the local courts.
 As Mir Hawkins urged longer court hours, the session to begin as early as o'clock which he thought due the tax payers, George Purdy Bullard in terrupted what he termed a political speech with the statement that the government was more interested in taking the men away from their labors who had to serve as jurors and wit nesses. "The government is more in- terested in crops than in getting judg- ments against the railroads that the government has to pay" said the rail- road lawyer.
 Taking exception to the remark made by MT. Hawkins that both courts were behind in their cases, J. L. B. Alex ander stated that not a case had gone over in any month that Judge Lyman had been on the bench and further more that division one was not very much behind on its cases.
 The Texan contended that for more than year he had been trying to have case tried in division one and that when it finally came to trial he had se- cured verdict against bunch of in- solvents.'
 His was not the final word and the meeting adjourned with the under standing that the hours in vogue at the present time would be continued dur ing the new hour plan.

It Depends Upon the Machinery

Whether the backbone of the bootlegging busi- ness in Phoenix has been broken by the wholesale arrests on Monday night will depend upon the action Temperance Federation has done it's part and promises to if it is given the aid of the chinery of the law.
 In spite of the prohibition law the distribution of liquor in Phoenix notorious. Only those who were ignorant those who were in active or passive sympathy with the illicit traffic denied it. There was evidence of it every hand The streets every ing have been the depository of empty whisky bottles Drunken men have reeled along the streets by day and night reminding very much of the good old days of the open saloon.
 We have heard the excuse that "as long as whisky is made will get it. That is a weak humliating and cowardly confession of an inability or an unwillingness to enforce the law against the meanest and most despcable of crimes. The voters W this city and country certainly expected no such situation as this when four years ago they made the prohibition law possible But Marcopa county the amendment would have been defeated.
 With it's enactment the voters very naturally supposed that it would be enforced but they have been deceived. They should now inquire who is at ault and take measures at the election to cor rect such defects as they may discover. They must ssain get on the job if not they had better con- vent to repeal of the amendment.
 But instead the voters of this and all other coun- lies who earnestly desire the enforcement of prohibit ton should for the strengthening of the law

more nearly free than any civil com munity in the country taking numbers of young men into account.
 A drafted man who was to go out in the first call visited several physicians in this city. He was suffering of Q venereal ailment and knew or thought he knew what kind of treatment he wanted. None of the physicians would administer that. a specific on sale in most drug stores and finally he was sent to Dr. H. K. Beauchamp, city health officer.
 Dr. Beauchamp offered to treat him but he too refused to administer the particular kind of treatment the young man was bent on having. He then went away and Dr. Beauchamp re- ported the matter to Dr. Sweek, the state health officer who resolved no longer to fool with the case swore out a warrant for the arrest of the young man and he is in for 30 days and the payment of a $50 fine. "
 And that is not the end of his tr6ub- les for on his induction into the army there awaits him another six months period of confinement.
 At the beginning of the war, that is of the participation of the United States into the war, venereal disease was a certain cause rejection of either the enlisted man or the drafted man. But it is so no longer. It is now the policy of the war department to take them if they are afflicted with no other disability. and make clean men of them. The soldier who refuses to CO., operate with the government in this enterprise will have a hard row to hoe.

 The marine corps is one of the most attractive branches of the service and each day is becoming more popular. It offers many advantages which are not to be found in other branches of mili- tary service. Not only does the re- cruit receive valuable training upon the shore, but he is also enabled to spend good part of his time aboard vessels, and trips to distant ports are included in his itinerary.

Two Groups

The other day J. P. Morgan replying to an in- qury whether he thought it safe to place. or all low the finances of the country fall into the hands of group of men since time the group might turn out to be bad men, said that it was no more dangerous than to allow the affairs of the country to rest in the hands of congress which might turn out to be a bad congress. Mr. Morgan seemed to think that his rejonder a "squelcher" and in some quarters it has been accepted as such
 But We think it impertnent in both the Eng fish and the Latin meanings of the word in the latter sense in that the answer did pertain to the n- quiry
 1he question of responsibility, the main question: was missed entirely by MT. Morgan. There are bad groups and bad congresses but they stand in diff 1erent relations to the country The latter are re- sponslole to the people while the former are wholly irresponsible The people delegate to the congress the power 1t uses or misuses It may be displaced if msuses Its power and it is generally so displaced
 The financial group seizes the power it wieds and holds it by force until it wrested from it. There " no punishment for the use or the abuse of that power And it is generally difficult to disodge it from the welders of it.
 It is impertinent to compare a groun of nriva+a cltizens With any group of the peoples delegates

captains of sailing vessels are more cautious. When the fleet of great five and six masters was transferred from the coastwise coal trade to the deep water service across the Atlantic mas ters were offered as high as $10,000 a round voyage, and there was no rush of applicants. They knew far better than the owners, who were greedy for rich dividends, how small a chance of escaping submarines with only the ficlzle winds to drive them. These ves- sels were recently barred from the trade with Europe by the refusal of the American Government to issue export licenses for cargoes conveyed in them.
