TEMPE BOYS ARE
 CLIMBING ID T0P

TEMPE, May That Tempe men are making good as soldiers of Uncle Sam is evidenced by word received from two of the young men yesterday.
 T. A. Anderson who before his de- parture for the training camp was an employe of the Tempe National bank has put his time to good advantage. Anderson has been attending a school for the signal corps of the army and finished his work with a grade of 100 per cent. He was one of four to be chosen from the division to take spec ial divisional training and judging from his past record he will make a success of this training.
 Leo Buck another Tempe young man has also been climbing up since he went into the army. Like Anderson, Leo has been selected for special train- ing and leaves for the east with 21 other young men from his division.

 FIyina Squadron Visits Mesa Two hours late but full of pep" the Liberty loan flying squadron came into Mesa yesterday at 12:30 o'clock, es- corted by three decorated autos filled with women workers of Mesa, who had journeyed to Tempe and waited pa tiently in the dust storm for the arrival of the boosters from the Capitol city. However the music which the visitors brought along and the live wire talks made, compensated for all delays. It is to be regretted that the visiting l delegation was unable to make the l schedule, for a large crowd had as 1 sembled, and the high school cadets were on hand in full uniform, the girls of the school also being present.
 Even as it was a goodly number greeted the speakers, who expressed | themselves as highly pleased with the hospitality shown by the gate city.
 Those comprising the squadron were
 Charles McArthur, Paul Renau Ingalls,, Art Kicks and Mesdames Chester,
 Reid, A. c. Dulmadge and White.
 In connection with this Liberty loan drive, work is being done by a num- Der of Mesa women, which deserves

ately to the barracks where the men
were being sheltered.
Hunter Sharp, consul, had gone to

that the Red Cross machinery was in
operation. He appeared before the
men, introduced himself as the Amer
lean consul and cheered them with the
information that the Red Cross was
on the job and soon would be there
with all the necessary equipment.
The discussion all around the big
bare room had begun to center COM
pIetely on the question of food when
the first Red Cross car, honking cheer
fully, rumbled into the cobbled drive
way of the barracks. The door opened

There was rush to the doorway

London.-England has her plans all
laid for the great industrial change
over.
There are about 5000 large concerns
which have been engaged in munitions
work.
These factories have been prepar-
ing for months for the "quick change"
and are ready to switch to peace-time
operations Immediately.
Munitions is by no means the only
branch of industry where sharp read
iustments will be necessary. But the
same statement of preparedness holds
true generally.
The ministry Of reconstruction,
which has been operating for more
than a year, and which has made an
extensive survey of the industrial
problem, has aided manufacturers
who have been engaged on war work
In the preparations for the advent OF
peace. And it has worked out plans
for converting many government-op-
Grated plants into production OF ma

ALLIES MISTAKES

great task Of mobilizing and distribut.
ing labor. Something of the kind was
absolutely necessary, for without Uni
fed arrangements for obtaining the
help needed for war production indus
trial life in America would have been
chaotic.
The experience of European coun-
tries had illustrated how essential is
perfect organization and coordination
of labor power toward successful pros
ecution Of war which places practi-
cally whole nations in arms. In the wars
of the past, Industrial life at home
went on without any considerable in
terruption; the armies In the field were
ordinarily not so large that they could
not live on the country If they were
forced to do so.
With the summoning of millions of
men to the colors by all the belligerent
nations, however, the world war of
1914 quickly took on quite different
aspect. The withdrawal of all these
men from industry proved a tremen-
dous shock to the economic life Of ev-
cry nation.
Germany probably was the best pre-
pared for the great change, for the
possibility of summoning most of the
man power of the nation into warfare
had been considered more thoroughly
than elsewhere:
France and England, it soon became
apparent, had made serious mistakes.
In France large numbers of skilled mu-
milton workers were called into the
army, and they suffered tremendous
losses when the Germans overran Bel
GUM and northern France. Munitions
output slowed up, and only by the
most heroic exertions were the French
finally able to turn back the enemy at
the Marine. Eventually the skilled ma
chinists were called back into the fac
tories, where they could be of much
better service than even in the first
line trenches.
England had similar experiences. In
the patriotic zeal of thousands to en-
list, for the voluntary system was re-
tanned in England for about three
years, little attention was paid to the
retention on essential jobs of men
whose places hardly could be filled.
America was able to profit by these
mistakes of the allies, and from the
start organized war program on the
basis of highest efficiency.

Washington.-Amer success In

as much by workmen at home as py

America was confronted by ire

made. The work Of American laborers

that spoke with all sorts of American
accents from pure "BOstonese" to the
hearty tones of the Pacific coast.
Meanwhile came the news that ether
survivors and many bodies were like
ly to be found on the coast of Islay,
off the Scotch coast, where the Otran-
to had persisted or the rocks. 1t was
known that the Red Cross organization
in Scotland was trying to reach lslay,
but it was doubted whether, owing to
the terrific storm, travel by the usual
routes was possible. So the Red Cross
organization in Belfast decided to send
an expedition on the perilous trip from
Ireland to Islay. A party of eight,
including two physicians. and carry
ing large outfits of clothing and
quantities of medical and other sup
plies, made the voyage on small YES
sci furnished by the British navy.
sHere, in Islay, 1t was found that the
greatest loss of life had occurred, for
the Otranto had gone on the rocks
close to the scene of the Tuscania dis
aster
OF her $50 passengers 20 men,
including IL American soldiers and
three members of the crew, were
the only survivors. These twenty,
more dead than alive, were washed I'M
conscious on the rocks, bleak and des-
olate spot, and were taken care of by
a handful of cottagers who live on this
barren shore at a little hamlet known
as Kilchoman, which consists of only
three houses, church and school
house.

TUBERCULOSIS OF HOG HERD

ment Of Agriculture)
tuberculosis is rapidly increasing
among hogs in the United States, and
every owner of swine should be on his
guard against the introduction of this
serious malady upon his premises. Un-
like hog cholera this disease is insid-
iOus in it's attack and slow in It's de-
velopment, so that it may be present
for months in herd without exciting
the least suspicion Of the owner, and
will be revealed to him only at the time
of slaughter. Until recent years tuber-
culosis has been looked upon as of I'M
common occurrence and only of impOr-
lance from a meat-inspection stand
point; but today it must be recognized
as O serious menace to the owner of
hogs, and especially to the one who al
lows his hogs to run with cattle that
have not been proved to be free of tu-
berculosis, or who feeds them upon
nonsterilized products as part Of their
ration. AS tuberculosis Of hogs Is chief
ly contracted through eating infected
feed, the Importance of this statement
Is obvious.
tuberculosis Of hogs Is closely asso-
ciated with the same disease in cattle,
the reason being apparent when one
considers the close relations Of these
two species of animals upon nearly ev-
cry farm. Tuberculous cattle may scat
ter great numbers of tubercle bacilli
with their excrement; cows that are
tuberculous may produce contaminated
milk that is subsequently fed to pigs;
and carcasses of cattle that have died
from tuberculosis are sometimes eaten
by hogs.
The feeding Of hogs upon creamery
refuse is also very frequent source
Of infection. In this way the milk Of
single COW with tuberculous udder,
If sent to q public creamery, may
spread the disease to q number of
hogs, and may also infect many farms
that have never previously been con-
taminated with tuberculosis.
An equally dangerous source Of in
lection is likewise observed In the
methods which obtain among some Of
the small country slaughter houses. 1t
is not unusual for these houses to get
rid of their blood, intestines, viscera,
and other inedible parts by feeding
them to hogs, herd of which is usual
ly kept on the premises. This custom
Is pregnant with danger and serves to
perpetuate the infectious principle of
various contagious and parasitic dis
eases, particularly tuberculosis.
Hogs are also susceptible to tuber-
culous infection from affected persons
and poultry, but these sources are I'M
