MEN
 FROM GREENLEE
APPROXIMATELY 400 NOW AT FRONT AND IN CAMPS, iNcLUo- ING voLuNrEERS MExicANS GENERALLY PATRIOTIC.

According to the old standards Greenlee has nearly one half of a regiment in the service. It Is esti. mated that there are approximately 400 from this county now fighting the battles of democracy, in the diff ferent training camps and over there.
 For the purpose of this story only Class I will be considered, as the records of those who volunteered are not available, many of whom are in the army, others are in the navy, while numbers have enlisted in tho special service of the government, all doing their part in winning the war.
 There are in Class I 317 select men. Of this number POS have been induct- ed into the service, and the other 192 of the estimate of 400, are volunteers as the exemption records show that 109 are classed as deserters. Many of these have doubtless enlisted from some other boards, but the above figures are how Class stands on the records of Greenlee's board.
 The several communities of the county are represented in the differ ent army camps and the European front by the following number of select men:
 Morenci, 3S; Clifton, A; Metcalf, 15: Duncan, II; Franklin, 8; York, 4; Blue 2; Sheldon, 1; Guthrie, 1. Since the 1917 registration, how ever, many have left Greenlee coun- ty. and these entrained for the diff ferent camps from where they were 'ccated. so Greenlee is credited with Ss additional men from this source. This estimate does not take into con- sideration those who art classed as deserters, of which the communities iare charged with the following num- bers respectively: Morenci, 57; Clifton. 30: Metcalf, 23; Duncan, l.: Franklin, 1. The other precincts are 100 per cent loyal.

OF COPPER
 FIXED AT 26 CENTS
OPERATORS WIN HARD FIGHT TO HAVE PRICE OF COPPER PLAC- ED so MINES GAN PRODUCE MAXIMUM OUTPUT.

It has been conceded in all quart CTS that the price of copper, as fixed by the war industries board, was such that mines were unable to run at the maximum capacity, and to that cause the supply necessary or the use Of the government has been materially cur tailed.
 The operators, with the true patrio- tic spirit, have been doing the best possible without losing money, to produce the maximum amount of cop per at the price fixed by the Federal authorities. But patriotism alone is not the whole matter. They cannot afford to operate their property at a loss
 Owing to the increased cost of living labor is demanding increased wages, and to meet the conditions that the operators saw were inevit- able, efforts have been made to have the war industries board revise the established price to the end that the maximum production could be ex- pected. Thirty cents was the price asked to be fixed. The news was telegraphed from Washington Tues. day that the board had advanced the price of the red metal to 26 cents, an increase of 1-2 cents per pound, ef- fective on July 2, to continue until August 15, subject to the approval of President Wilson. The operators had requested that the price be advanced to 30 cents per pound, which was deemed fair price to all concerned However, this 2 1-2 cents advance is welcome to the operators, who have not been making the profits such tremendous investments demand. and it is anticipated that the war indus. tries board will yet see the justness of the contention of the operators and grant them price on which 1egiti- mate investment can be expected when the allotted time of the present price shall have elapsed
 General Manager Norman Carmich. ael of the Arizona Copper company while in Fl Paso last Friday, was interviewed by a Times reporter and sized up the situation in the follow ing concise and comprehensive man ner:

Mrs. J. A. Davis was hostess to the old basket ball teams of the High School last Saturday evening. Her beautiful home was thrown open to the young people composing these teams in the past, and about thirty guests were gathered there to par take of her hospitality.
 Games and other parlor amuse- ments were indulged in to make this one of the most enjoyable occasions of the season, which it was so ac- claimed by each and every guest present. In fact the hours sped by very swiftly, so delightfully."- the af- fair proved to be, that all were reluc- tant to leave even when the hands of the clock denoted that morning was young and leave-takings were timely. hut before leaving each voted Mrs. Davis most charming hostess.

MExIcANs ARE PATRIOTIC
 AS WELL AS LOYAL HERE

The Buckeye News is responsible for the statement that there is not a Mexican resident of that valley serv- ing in the army, though many have been called. The News says the Mexi can registrants are the most disloy- al people in Arizona"
 This statement is subject to quail fication. It may be true that the Americans of Mexican percentage in the Buckeye valley are as disloyal, as the News states, but it is taking in lots of territory when it includes the whole sta,e. No such conditions prevail in the Clifton-Morenci dis trict. Ont of registration of 317, many Mexicans are now in the ser vice.
 That is not 50 bad, compared to tfe statement of the Buckeye News, that not single Mexican is in the service from that valley.
 The Ncxicans of the Clffton-Mo- Tenci district are correspondingly loyal. also, in the purchase of Liber- ty Bonds and War Securities. Ac- cording to their financial ability, per haps more so than the Americans.

23 cents pound for copper is not bringing out the full productive power of the copper industry.
 '.As a matter of fact, the copper producers are in false position. The price limit has badly restricted their output and has made their labor con- dition most critical. Labor has be- haved very we'll in Arizona during this crisis but much uneasiness is now apparent.
 You remember that when the 23 cent price was put in force it was a compromise measure. The copper producers were passing their wages at that time on 25 cent copper and they advanced wages to 25 cent basis in order to hold their labor.
 Another wage increase is sure to come in August or much skilled labor will leave the state. Fuel, oil and all other costs are much higher than when the 23 cent price was fixed. In consequence, many companies are ob- liged to curtail their output to avoid ruinous loss.
 The natural remedy IS to nx price high Enough so that ali of the established companies can produce copper without loss and then take their excess profit by taxation. The mining companies would make no protest against this system. It would greatly improve labor conditions, would speed up the production of copper, and would give no opportuni- ty for proflteering."

DOES SUPERVISION
 MEAN OWNERSHIP?
PROTESTS AGAINST FEDERAL RE REIMBURSEMENT OF SHORT LINES INDICATE PUBLIC FAY. oRlkG GOVERNMENT OWNER. SHIP. sz-s

Ana now congress is consideriu9 bill to take over the lines of com munication. A bill has been intro duced in both houses, and the house Interstate Commerce committee has ordered its favorable report, for the Government to take over the tele- graph, telephone, cable and radio systems of the country for the dur ation of the war. Indications point to this measure going over until af- ter recess unless the president re- quests action.
 For several years Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson has advocated the tax. ing over of the lines of communica- tion by the government, and now he is supported by Secretary of War Baker. as war measure. It is un- derstood that this action for the taking over of the lines was speed ed up by the threatened strike of the operators of the Western Union. If this is true it is likely that the presi- dent will request congress to act be- fore the recess.
 But the ultimate taking over is al- most certainty. When once the government assumes control it is likely that the lines of communica- tion will pass into Federal hands for all time. It is doubtful if the trunk line railroads will ever revert to the original owners. True, since the gov ernment assumed control of the rail- roads freight rates have been higher, ic drrc, fN one believes these high rates will pre- vail when the country is again on a normal basis. In fact it is expected, | if the roads continue under Federal control, that rates will be materially reduced below that prevailing before they passed, into the hands Of the government. This can be dore if the roads were publicly owned by the elimination of much of the water in the stock of the average road, and the adjustment Of salaries ac- cording to duty performed.
 But if the roads are retained it will be because there will be a demand from the public for their retention That this demand will be forthcoming is evidenced by the opposition to the government reliquishing short line roads of the country. From most every quarter comes opposition, and demand for Federal control
 The Federal authorities last Friday announced that approximately 170t short lines would be turned back to the owners, but later word comes that 553 of these would still be retained, and perhaps others again taken ove. there existed demand for their as- sumption. None of these short lines have been named yet, though it was announced that they would be given out last Monday, consequently it is not known, at this time, if the A. & N. M. is included in those which will be returned to the owners.
 The trunk lines are all retained. It is the prediction of many that the public will demand Federal control after the war, because by that date it will have been demonstrated that the roads are best administered un- der government control. A continued supervision by the Federal govern ment, it is believed by those who have given the matter much thought. will lead to ultimate Federal owner ship.

Message to the Men in Camp Hancock
From Bernard Suttler

I have just spent a pleasant week IN
Camp Hancock and feel myself in
debted to the ''Y'' taft for courtesies
shown me- and to the soldiers for the
excellent attention paid me when talk
ing to them in the ~" houses / write
this letter therefore, at the request of
the editor of Trench and Camp" for
a message, to show my appreciation
by conveying to that great number I
was unable to meet some facts I want
them to remember as l am hopeful
that the knowledge of these facts will
nerve their arms as they strike for
world wide freedom for men.
Democracy and Autocracy.
Two great opposing theories of gov
eminent are fighting desperately to
decide which theory shall rule the
world. Whether government shall be
by consent of the governed as being
created and maintained by all the
people, or whether it shall be by a few
self appointed rulers arrogating to
themselves Divine right to rule man
kind, placing themselves in a class
apart from the common run of man
kind and giving to al below them
selves only so much as in their super
Tor judgment they can afford to give
without injury to their Divine rights.
Boiled down to a sentence, the issue
is whether goVernm MT belongs to the
people, or the people to government.
If Germany wins it means that the
masses exist only to serve government
as represented by the self-elected
masters.
If we and our allies win it means
that hereafter governments will exist
to serve the masters and makers of
governmental the people.
In such a conflict the duty of every
American man is too clear to admit
of argument, and my American citi-
zen not willing to give his all both
in service and money to so sacred a
cause should be deported to Germany
where he belongs.
