STARVING EUROPE LOOKS TO
U. S. FOR AID

PHOENIZ, Ariz., - Recent Euro
pean reports received at the office of
Timothy A. Riordan, federal food ad-
ministrator for Arizona, present a
forceful argument for greater food con-
servation in America during the COM
ing year than ever before.
Shortage of wheat in France is be-
coming more and more alarming each
week. M. Maurice Long, minister for
general revictualling of France, indi-
Gated recently that a further reduction
of 20 per cent in the bread ration
would soon become imperative.
The manufacture and consumption
of pastry. regarded as luxury, will
be entirely suppressed during 1918,
except on Sunday and holidays.
Denmark is now looking forward to
reduction of wheat rations. Final
figures for the cereal harvest show a
total of about 62,00O,OOO bushels,
which is 2O,0O0,00O bushels less than
in 1910, and about 100000 less than
was estimated in the summer, when
the populace was put on bread rations.
The authorities are already consider
ing further reduction in the allowed
consumption.
The Food, situation in Switzerland
is rapidly falling to the danger line.
A ration that is far below the con
sumption in many of the countries at
war has already been ordered.
Under the new regulation, the Swiss
may have only a pound and a half Of
sugar per person per month. The
bread ration has been fixed at about
half a pound day. and the butter
ration at one-fifth of pound a month.

 Friends: There have gone from our midst this Illinois day, two whom ev- cry one that has attended these an nual gatherings, in the years past, have learned to love.
 MT. and Mrs. Andrew Downing are with us no more We do not believe it would be right to say, we mourn them, but we miss them. We have not today the pleasing poem with crisp humor and kindly wit, with which Mr. Downing has entertained us at these annual picnics.
 Mir. and Mrs. Downing came into this community, past the time of life, which is usually regarded, as moving to ac- tion. At the age of serenity, the hours of reflection, the harvest time of years. But with them it was not a time of inaction. but of decided activity.

ERROR APPEARS IN
 STORY FROM COURT

An error appeared in the statement m The Republican on Friday that Gus A. Streitz and Richard E. Par thum, after being arraigned in federal court on a charge of violating the immigration laws by harboring an alien enemy, would plead guilty the following day.
 The sentence was written will plead today" and through typographi- cal error was set will plead guilty today
 The fact is that when the defend ants were arraigned and were asked for their pleas they pleaded not gull ty Judge Barnum their counsel stated that he would probably with draw that plea and file demurrer. That was done and the demurrer was argued yesterday and taken under ad- visement by Federal Judge Sawtelle. There has been no suggestion at any time that they would enter pleas of guilty.
 These defendants were arrested some months ago on the charge of violating the espionage law by rem dering assistance to- Alfred Titterman who it was afterward learned had escaped from an internment camp. That charge was later changed to one of violating the immigration laws.

TRIBUTE PAID
 ARTHURG. HA[M

A resolution has been adopted by the Rotary club in honor of the memory of Arthur c. Hahn, who died recently in the United States army service. The resolution follows:
 RESOLVED That the members of the Rotary club of Phoenix lament the untimely death of the late Arthur C.. Hahn and record their apprecia- tion of his life, high character and affectionate regard in which theG hold his memory.
 Arthur Gainsford Hahn was born at Columbus Ohio, October l, 1890. He was graduated from Stanford in 1914. Shortly thereafter he entered business life in Phoenix and later became secretary of the Arizona Fire Insurance company, contributing largely to its growth and success. When the war with Germany was declared he arranged his business affairs and entered the third officers training school 91st Division, Camp Lewis. American Lake, Washington, upon January 5, 1918, having been selected and recommended as a can didate for a commission by his Alma Mater. He pursued the prescribed course of study with credit, despite the progress of the disease which re- suited in his death, and completed his work with honor. He was awaiting commission when he was ordered by his commanding officer to the base hospital where his death oc- cured Friday, n April 12,191S. The announcement that he had been com missioned as Second Lieutenant in the United States army was made Friday, April 19, 1918, the day he was buried with military honors in Greenwood cemetery at Phoenix, Ari- zona.
 Although he was not permitted to see active service in the great war in which the United States is now engaged, in every true sense he gave his life for his country. Others may have the privilege to serve their country longer, but none served it with greater fidelity and single heart ednesS. The sweetness and strength of his nature, and the charm of his personality drew close to all that knew him. The ready smile, honest glance and strong handclasp that marked his greeting made him the i friend ana comrade of Us all. Earnest, strong and devoted to duty, Rotary will find in his memory stimulus to greater effort to carry through the stern task to which he gave his life | RESOLVED FURTHER that these resolutions be spread upon the mn- utes of this meeting and that copies be sent his mother, Mrs. Kittie G. Hahn, to his brother Willis G. Hahn. and to each of the daily newspapers at Phoenix for publication.
