THE NET RESULT

A feeling of anger because of the loss of five aeroplanes with their valuable pilots and observers, doubtless will be the first sensation of Review readers as they note in this mornings paper the fact that Ger many claims to have captured five ma chimes, while General Pershing admits in his communique that this number failed to return to our lines. Pity for the young men who rode on the winds to bomb Ger man positions and thus came to grief, will be the next sensation. The horrors of German prison camp will be visited upon them. The third and most lasting impress sion will be that of dogged determination to play even with the Hun.
 Throughout the length and breadth of the United States good citizens will read this news today and experience the feeling we describe. The net result. of the capture of our planes will be a grave determina- ton to tighten our grasp on the situation, make every possible sacrifice to better the military status of our country, and plough ahead to victory.
 Relatively, the German accomplishment in the capture of our aviators was small one, not comparable with that of our marines in stopping the best German shock troops at Chateau Thierry. War is game of give and take, and thus far we have given far more than we have been called upon to take.

 As a relief matter and quick way to keep copper coming out in the Morenci district, copper needed for war purposes, the Bunker Hill com pany at Tombstone played it's part the last few days. It seems that a big Nordbery compressor at NIorenci broke down, and the part needed could not be delivered right away so arrange ments were made at once 10 shut down the big compressor here and take out the needed part and send it to Nor enci. This was done by switching the work onto the small compressor at the big shaft but as it cannot carry all the power needed for drills and hOists it was arranged Co run the need ed hoists by steam and cut off some of the drills until such time as the needed part can be made and shipped out here by the N0rdbery company it is expected that within few weeks the new part will be here rom the factory and matters resume their nor nal condition at the mines.-Pros- peCtOr

 farmers of the United States the price administratlyely fixed has been re- garded as fair and liberal, and Obliga- tions to it have come only from those sections of the country where, unfor- tunately, it has in recent years proved impossible to rely upon climatic condt- tions to produce a full crop of wheat and where, therefore, many disappoilt- ments to the farmer have proven to be unavoidable.
 Personally, 1 do not believe that the farmers of the country depend upon the stimulation of price to do their ut most to serve the nation and the woriG at this time of crisis by eXerting them selves to an extraordinary degree to produce the largest and best crops pos sible. Their patriotic spirit in this matter has been worthy of all praise and has shown them playing a most admirable and gratifying part in the full mobilization of the resources Of the country To a very greatly in- creased production of wheat they have added an increased production of ai- most every other important grain, so that our gTanaries are likely to over flow, and the anxiety of the nations arrayed against Germany with regard to their food supplies has been re- HeYed.
 The administrative method of agreeing upon a fair price has this very great advantage which any ele- ment of rigidity would in large part destroy, namely, the advantage of fleX- ibility. of rendering possible at every stage and in the view of every change of experience a readjustment which will be fair alike to producer and con sumeT.
 "A fixed minimum price of $40 per bushel would, it is estimated, add S2 per barrel to the price of flour; in oth- CT words. raise the price of flour from the present price of S10.50 to S12.50 at the mill and inasmuch as we are anticipating a crop of approximately 800 100000 bushels of wheat this in- crease would be equivalent to the i'm mense sum of S3S7, 900 .000.
 Such an increase of the price of wheat in the United States would force a corresponding increase in the price of Canadian wheat The allied governments would, of course, be ob- liged to make all of their purchases at the increased figure, and the whole scale of their financial operations in this country, in which the government of the United States is directly as sisting, would be thereby correspond ingly enlarged. The increase would also add very materially to the cost of living. and there would inevitably ensue an increase in the wages paid in practically every industry in the country These added financial and economic difficulties, affecting prac- tically the whole world, cannot, 1 as sume, have been in contemplation by the congress in passing this legisla- tion.

A special correspondent in Washington

A special correspondent in Washington severely criticises congress for passing over the man power question to the next session. He declares that the bill raising the draft age was the most important measure before this session. He believes congress should have raised the draft age in spite of the administration And he brings up an amaz- ing array of facts and figures to support his stand Class one of the present draft will soon be exhausted, and class two will not last very long at the present rate. The postponement of means to provide man. power merely piles up the work and adds to the strain and confusion when the call for help shall come. This country Is full of men between the age of thirty and forty who are wild to go and who comprise the finest kind of material for soldiers. Those who have married since the war would, of course, go in class one. A fine army of a million Is waiting here for congressional action. And that army will be needed when the allies reach the Rhine. Why not be- gin now to provide for 1t, and not wait until the allies call next summer for more men, The raise of the draft age Is inevit- able, therefore the sooner 1t IS done the better. And by the way, while on the subject, it is well to note here that Uncle Sam has sent out recruiting officers to all parts of the country with especial instruc- lions to seek men between thirty and forty for any branch of the service except aviation Voluntary eRlistments of class one men of this age are now in order, and class one means all those who are unmar- ried, or who have married since the war and who are physically fit Only heavy enlistment can long postpone he raising of the draft age in spite of the administration reluctance to take any but the youth of the land for war

HERE'S THE COAL SITUATION

c. Wainwright Evans in the Nations Businessl
 First we are not going to have enough coal next winter.
 Second, the supply will be enough to keep the people warm and to run the nation on war basis-no more. The fuel admin istration will see that coal is distributed to accomplish that result.
 Third, the preferred list issued by the war industries board indicates the classes of con sumers that 1t IS of supreme importance to supply. They will get their coal. Other consumers will have to take what Is left. Some of them will not get enough
 Fourth, the supply of coal for domestic consumption will be adequate in those com munities that bestir themselves now and arrange to get their coal in early Those that wait do so at their peril. Communities that take active measures toward building proper storage facilities for laying in coal will receive the full cooperation of the fuel administration in that work
 Fifth. can we produce enough coal for all? Yes but the railroads cannot haul all the coal demanded in some parts of the country. and at the same time haul all the things equally necessary, such as iron ore, steel, cotton, wool, lumber, food, guns, shells, ship plates, and the like This con dition will limit the output of coal and the supply of 1t in some parts of the country, particularly on the North Atlantic seaboard. It is problem. therefore, not of mine pro- duction. but of railway transportation.
 Sixth. because of the growing flood of war orders the burden placed on the rail roads Is growing steadily.
 There, in nutshell, Is the diagnosis of the coal situation which got from J. D. A. Morrow, general director of distribution for the United States fuel administration, when l asked him what he thought would be the situation next winter.
 T mean that there won t be as much coal as people want, Mr. Morrow explained, and that all the kings horses and all the king men, and all of Uncle Sam railroads to boot can't alter that fact; and that we've got to begin right now to reef our sails, make all snug, and prepare to ride 1t out. Also that we can thank whatever lucky stars there be that this time we know be- forehand just what is going to hit US which was far from the case last year.

ASK FLAT RATE FOR
 THEIR POSTAGE
Say Two Cents Per Pound Would Not Be Unfair, but Decry Zone System as Dis criminatory
Bv Review Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, July 12-The house ways and means committee today closed hearings on the new SS,000,000,- 900 revenue bill after re-examination of Charles Johnson Post, representing magazine and periodical publishers, and Jesse H. Neal, spokesman for publishrs of trade papers, who pre- sented final arguments for repeal of the zone system of rates for second class mail.
 Both witnesses urged the adoption of flat rate of two cents a pound, or any other flat rate that would apply equally to all publications and not dis cvriminate against those of nation wide circulation.
 The committee will begin executive sessions Monday on framing the rev enue bill, although the treasury will not have ready a great deal of essen tial data regarding incomes and ex- cses profits until early in August.

The bolshevih are good fighters-in way. They fight well enough against other Russians, and boast loudly about what they will do to any allied soldiers who set foot in their distracted and dispoiled country. But they cannot be kicked or coaxed or threatened into fighting the Ger mans The only phrase in all the ancient or modern classics of diction that aptly de scribes the bolshevik soldiers attitude toward the Germans is, that the Germans have got the Russians goat.
