It is said that the German kaiser in- vested ten million dollars in Bolo Pasha, the French traitor, who was executed last week. Wonder what the kaiser thought of his in- vestment as it lay, a huddled heap at the foot of the Vincennes wall in the gray chill of spring morning with only grim French officer and ten Poilus whose faces expressed the bitter hate they felt for the scopndrel as they pressed the triggers that sped his doom? The kaiser also has an- other investment on hand, being nothing less than the throwing of million and a half of men into the war crater. France was the prize of the Bolo investment, and France Is the prize for this last venture
 Bolo's blood has dampened spot on French soil The blood of three-quarters of mil
 lion German soldiers has bathed French soil the past month. The last investment, prom ising well at the first, now looks about as badly as the Bolo venture. which also prom

McCEuskey

H. S. McClusky, professional agitator and regent of the University of Arizona, sounded the only dis cordant note at what would have otherwise been a splendid meeting of the Luncheon Club Friday when he stated that the entire press of Arizona Is dis credited that he preferred to be criticized to being complimented by the newspapers.-Iucson Cltizeh
 The weight of the evidence Is against Mister McCluskey. When ALL the news papers of the state assail him and he pub licly proclaims at peaceful dinner party that he prefers the attacks rather than the praise of the press, then he places himself beyond the pale of decent men. One news paper might err, and another might be moved by personal feeling, and another be misled or misinformed, but when all of them agree to brand and denounce this rad ical and dangerous agitator and promoter of class hatred. then has the verdict been written and read to the court by the fore man of the jury The day of the McClus- keys has gone forever from Arizona, along with the day of the dance halls and the sa- looms and the gambling dens and the Apache raids and the stage robbers of the old times, and the l. w. w. propagandas and German agent activities ot more recent times. As the Citizen has well said, Nc Cluskey IS a professional. Now a pro- fessional agitator makes his living from labor troubles, strikes, threats, picket lines, violence and all the lamentable and unfor- tunate things that go with wobblyism and the more radical labor troubles. The can dle may flicker high few times before 1t goes out, even as the bootlegger attempts to check the prohibition wave, but McClusky- ism and Huntism and wobblyism have beeli
 ! 1 al Al J 4I, flame of patriotism and the imperative needs of the Great War Workers are need ed now, not professional obstructors. The soapbox orator was thrown down and his pedestal broken when the U. 5. Govern ment moved against the wobblies from coast to coast. The agitator IS too closely linked with the German agent and the com mon enemy of mankind to be safe in the land today. That man of the MCCiuskey type should have been elevated by Hunt to a temporary place of dignity and impor- tance in state affairs is one of those unfor- tunate outcroppings of our political system which makes such strange bedfellowS. But the stay of such men in high places Is brief in this progressive age of publicity. Me Clusky may malign and defy the press of his state with his voice, but in his heart he Is sore afraid. Publicity IS the most deadly weapon ever used against the enemies of the public welfare. In the end 1t never fails, if used for the right against the wrong; for the best against the worst. There are two sides to Arizona politics today, and two only; one is devoted to the building up of the state upon permanent and prosperous foundations, and the other Is devoted to tearing down and laying waste. And there can be only one ultimate outcome to this struggle The Bolshevik won in Russia, but this is America, praise be, and not the besotted, benighted land that the agitators laid waste with the torch of radicalism and then betrayed to the Prussian king.

OUR BUSINESS IS WAR

Kansas City Star: The call grows loud CT daily. Every German thrust brings 1t home to us. At terrible cost England and France hold the western front If only we had million fighting men there to help them!
 We must send that million and millions more. Only by overwhelming force from America can the German power be crushed. Only by force fed by such sacrifice and de- votion as America has not yet dreamed of.
 We must get in this war to the limit We must speedily build an army of mil lion men. We must be ready to make it 10 million if necessary. We must hurry the ships. We must command the air. We must build guns, more guns, and still more guns.
 War must be our one business Every thing else must be subordinate.
 There is no trouble to get the men, Every boy is proud to go-every family Is proud to send its sons.
 ''l enlisted with my son, said devoted Kansas City mother Millions of mothers are ready in the same spirit
 The Nation must see that this devotion shall not be in vain. We must be prepared, everyone of us, to do our part. The bill for military census of all men from 8 to 50 is right. Each person must be at the dis posal of the government. If the govern ment needs him in a shipyard, in an air plane factory, in wheat field, he must go.
 We must all be soldiers. Some must serve in France, most in America All must serve.
 The German nation, said Lloyd George, IS spear; the army the head, the people the shaft Then the American nation must be a machine gun; the soldiers the bullets, the people at home the barrel and firing mech anism-
 Public opinion must press the govern ment to wider planning, vaster efforts, greater speed. In their turn the people must respond cheerfully with whatever sacrifice IS required.
 Only by preparing in such spirit can we do our duty by the men we send to France. Only so can we insure the tri- umph of the high cause we fight for
 Half way measures will not do To help just little Is to fail!

Entire suspension of infantry attacks in the Armentieres sector by the Germans during the past twenty-four' hours would indicate, judging from the trend of all of tensives since the war was started, that the worst is over. And the Germans, while gaining much ground and even threaten ing disaster at one time, have failed signal ly of their objectives, when these objectives are considered in proportion to the price they paid for goods they did not get The same is true of the offensive on the Somme, which ceased several weeks ago. The much heralded German peace drive to victory started just month ago today. They have lost doubtless about three-quarters of mil lion men and have gained but little ground cept that which had been wrested from them during the past two years at less than half the price. More troops and great CT efforts and heavier losses must attend the holding of these two salients gained at such fearful cost, even if Foch does not drive them back with counter attack AL lied reserves have not been drawn upon at all, that is to say the mobile reserve created by the council of Versailles When this army strikes it will be the supreme allied effort of the war. Of course, no one be- ieves that the German offensive is over by any means. Much hard fighting is doubt less ahead and another tremendous thrust may be looked for at any hour The Ger mans cannot afford to stop now without acknowledging defeat of their main pur- pose. But the real force and menace of the German drive to destroy either of the allied armies is believed to have come to an end with the terrible defeat of Thursday along LeBasse canal and before Givenchy when the pick and flower of the kaiser's forces were slaughtered by the thousand by Brit ish gunfire and bayonets.

BOW UNDER YOKE 27 YEARS
Germany Can Clear Up Indemnity by
1o45, Estimated,

London, Dec. At will keep Ger
many busy five years paying the in
terest on the huge indemnity to be i'm
posed upon her by the allies. In the
meantime she may re-establish her
national commerce.
In the next five years Germany
should be able, according to authori-
tative estimate, to pay one-fifth Of the
indemnity, besides the interest. 1t is
estimated that by 1915 Germany may
have cleared the slate.
Meanwhile an interallied commits

In trust Germany's intensely valuable
general chemical resources, worth
hundreds of billions.
The correspondent is in a position
to state that the German colonies do
not count in the liquidation Of the in

Nor does the German fleet count in
the liquidation, nor Alsace-LOrraine

WISCONSIN CELEBRATES
WORLD WAR RELIEF WEEK
Increased Production and Continued
Conservation Will Save Millions
From Death and Maintain Peace.

During this week dedicated to
World War Relief, we must discuss
the food situation in Europe today and
plan to improve it. Famine leads to
riots and Bolshevikism.
The little Allies who were under the
German yoke,-the Belgians, Serbians,
ROumanianS, Greeks, Zechs, Jugo-
Slavs, and the 50,00O,00O people in
north Russia who are undergoing
anarchy and breakdown of transporta-
tion will need our help most.
Production of all foods is the re-
spOnsibility of farmers, continued saw
ing the share of women since most Of
the food is consumed in the home, and
price regulation and prevention of
profteering the part of the food ad-
ministration.
"Joseph's granary which kept the
Egyptians from starvation seems a
picayune, One-hOrse affair in com
paTisOn with our task" said Mrs.
FOrbes-RobertsOn Hale of the U. S.
Food Administration at a convention
of Wisconsin food workers. "We have
millions to protect from famine.
Most people who have said the
Lords pra. ar have never realized the
significance of "Give us this day our
daily bread" but the war has made
millions of Europeans know it only
too well, and in view of their suffer
ing, we might now say, o God, we
beseech Thee, give them their daily
bread!'"

BAKER EXPLAINS LISTS
Unreported Names of Wounded
Are Minor Cases.
General March Says Pershng Is Sc
Iecting Units for OccupationaI
Force of 1,25OO0O Men.

Washington, Dec 4.-Secretary Ba-
ker, appearing before the senate mill
tary committee to explain the delay in
completing the publication of Ameri-
can casualties overseas, said he
thought most Of the unrep6rted names
were those of men slightly wounded
and would come by mail.
Senators were unable to understand
why only something over 100000
names have been published, when it
has been officially announced that the
casualties number 262 ,693. The sec
retary said every effort consistent with
accuracy was made to prevent delay,
and that General Pershing had been
urged repeatedly to expedite his lists,
sending the names of the dead first.
THE department from the begin
Ming" Mr.. Baker said, "has never held
up, withheld or delayed giving out
casualty lists. Our policy has been to
give a complete statement as soon as
possible"
General March, chief of staff, and
Assistant Secretary Keppel, were with
the secretary. Mr.. Keppel said the
system of obtaining and verifying cas-
ualty reports in France had been slow
at first, and if it had to be done over
again it probably would be done diff
ferently.
General March, discussing demobili-
cation, said General Pershing was Sc
lecting units for the occupational force
Of about 1,25O,OOO men, and that all the
other American soldiers in France
would be brought home as rapidly as
shipping could be provided.
Secretary Baker said many COM
plants had been based upon misunder.
standing and suspicious that the lists
were being held up, and that distress
had been caused among relatives by
inaccurate reports in soldiers private
letters. He told in detail of the pub
lication plan under which a telegram
is sent Immediately to the next of kin
before a name is put on the lists trans
mitted by mail to the newspapers for
simultaneous publication throughout
the country.

ALLIES Want THE KAISER
TO TREAT HIM AS PIRATE
MAY OCCUPY GERMANY
Panic in Berlin; Huns Beg More
Time.
Press Tells People Armstce Will Not
Be ReneWed-Terms Cannot
Be Fulfilled.

Amsterdam, Dec 4.-Berlin is in a
high state of excitement over two de-
velOpments:
l. The German press says there Is
no hope of the armiStice being pro-
lOnged.
2. Marshal Foch. according to Vor-
waerts, sent an ultimatum to Germany
which expired ~ 10 m Monday, de-
mandins the delivery of the best and
strongest locomotives among the 81
600 demanded by the allies.
DR.. Matthias Erzberger. head of the
German armistice commission, protest
ed to Foch that futillment of this de-
mand was impossible. He made a plea
for a respite.
From the situation as it stands VOr-
waerts draws the conclusion that the
allies will occupy the whole of Ger
many.
"Foch," says the Socialist paper,
which is the organ of the Ebert gov
ernment. ''intends to fulfill his work
by entering Berlin. But the realiza-
ton of the plan to occupy the whole of
Germany is no light task"
A fleet of British destroyers has
arrived at Lbau, according to Ger
man dispatches, which added that a
British fleet was expected at Wilhelms-
haven.
The crushing weight of her defeat
is dawning upon all Germany, and the
conditions in tho f1thprian0 are as
suming a panicky aspect.
At Berlin the Spartacus group is ag-
itating the general arming Of the pro
letariat,' which if carried out, would
mean the breaking loose of the red
terror.
The foreign diplomatic corps in the
Prussian capital has asked the Ebert
government for protection. fearing the
inception of anarchy.

Important Scientific Discovery,

The use of water holding fine sand
in suspension issa novel plan for sepa-
rating materials of different specific
gravity. A chemical solution of a den
sity somewhat greater than that of the
lighter material has served in the
laboratory, but this has been CONNER
cially unsatisfa actory on account of the
cost Of the chemicals and the difficulty
Of removing them from the substances
separated. The mechanical mixture
containing sand held up in water by
agitation has been found to take the
place Of the true solution of the same
density. II is stated that with quartz
sand and water, coal may be freed
from it's ordinary impurities, and mag
netic iron ore sand gives a fluid Of
sufficiently high specific gravity to
float quartz, limestone and feldspar,
while such heavy particles as those
of galena ore or metallic copper may
be used for fluids to float off still heav-
Ter solids.
