geon was enc Of the matters discussed
last night. II was stated that The com
blnlng of these two positions and the
paying OF salary commensurate with
the work, would make It possible TO
have a medical man devote all his time
TO The work.
The city hospitals are complaining
that as conditions are now they are
compelled to do far more work than
they are Justified In doing for the com
pensatlOn they receive and oouncllmen
admit that the Saturday night cases are
far above that which the hospitals
should handle, II there was a physician
always available at the police station
In light Of these facts. lt Is likely that
a Capitalization OF The city's medical
force VIII be had with an office at the
police station. The fact that the present
police surgeon was engaged for one
year, but one month ago Is not ex-
pected to interfere with the proposed
new dlspensatlOn.
The city pays tho police surgeon
$3.50 a year and the city physician
$500 a year.
The Councilmen also discussed with
the police commissioners tho question
OF transferring tho two Rmbulances
Of the Phoenix Fire Company 10 tho
Police Department It was explained
that the fire company will not allow
tho machines 20 leave the city and
this causes the police patrol TO be
pressed into service as an ambulance
at times. When this occurs tho Police
Department is Handicapped.
The commissioners will take the
matter into consideration and at n
later meeting Council will submit an
estimate OF the cost OF running tho adj
dltlonal ambulances. 10 Is estimated
that corps of three men viii be
necessary for each machino-a driver
and two men. Some members OF COun-
ell suggested that emo woman who
knows something OF nursing should bo
placed, which may be considered IN
tho program.
In order 20 shift the ambulances
from the FIRE cOmpany's Jurisdiction. a
matter which IS much desired by the
fire company, 10 the city, Il may be
necessary TO pass a measure I'm the
next session Of the General Assembly.

Commission and City Council will have
a definite outline OF their plans 10 be
submitted at the next session Of the
General Assembly, carrying out the
program accordingly.
The question OF establishing an Of
fee in the City Building for the fire
chiefs was discussed, but Il was the
opinion OF the Councilmen that as the

LONDON, Oct. iO-Tho German Gov
crnment, according TO a dispatch from
Amsterdam TO tho Exchange Telegraph
Company, lntepds to grant pardons TO a
number Of politicians imprisoned since
the war began including tho Socialists
Dr.. Karl Liobknecht and Wilhelm Dltt-
mann.
A general amnesty. the dispatch adds.
probably Will be granted to political Of
tenders.
Or. Karl Liobknecht, who according
10 tho Amsterdam report, is about TO
DO released from prison, Is probably
the most striking figure in German
socialism and one Of the few Socialist
leaders IN that country who have con-
slstently stood against the government
In It's war policies.
Or. Liebknecht was arrested In Bcr-
lln May 4, 1916, on the charge OF par
ticipating In riots on that day In the
German capital. In the following month
no was tried on the charge Of attempt
cd high treason, gross insub0rdlnatlon
and resistance to the authorities. The
trial was held behind closed doors and
resulted IN Socialist leader being sem
fenced 90 thirty months penal servitude
and dismissal from the army.
lt has been alleged that Or. Lieb-
knccht was IN possession OF important
documents showing that Austria was
forced into the war by the German
military leaders against the wishes Of
Vienna and Budapest.

HARRY LAUDER IN POLITICS

Harry Lauder, Scottish comedian,
minstrel and patriot, announces that
he will be candidate for election
~ the British Parliament at the
next general election. And his pur-
pose is plain when he adds that he
will run against Ramsay Mcdonald
or Philip Snowden, both belonging
TO what is known as the British
Socialist-Labcr "pacifist" group.
All who have heard Lauder speak
on the war know the intensity with
which he opposes those who favor
any end to the struggle short Of a
Knockout victory by the Allies and
America. Having lost his only son on
the west front, he has entered up
on the work of arousing and sus-
tanning the spirit Of the Allied peo-
pies with this one end in view-that
civilian pressure be prevented from
demanding a premature peace. In
America, in Australia, in France,
and in Great Britain he has used
his stage work as a means to gather
hundreds Of thousands of people
together for the purpose of swaying
their hearts and their sympathies
/ by his undOubted great powers as
a preacher.
We doubt if any single man has
been so effective in this respect as
has Harry Lauder. His words have
sunk deeper than have the words
Of any other man or woman who
coming from the front, has tried to
make us one with the boys over
there. They have moved thousand:
of people TO undisguised, unshameC
tears where scores of others usine
almost the same words, have failed
TO excite more than interest.
Why has this been so? What i:
the basis of Harry LADDERS appeal
IL is. very largely the obvious in.
tensity and deadly sincerity of thu
man, coupled, no doubt, with thu
common knowledge of his bereave-
ment. But il is also the consummat'
artistry Of the man, able not onl,
to feel the injustices of the war u
the very bottom Of his warm Scotch
heart, but as well to lay the lattei
bare TO his audiences without
any touch of maudlinism or un-
manliness.
II occurs TO us that all this will
prove of inestimable value to Lauder
when he runs for Parliament. W.
do not envy his opponent, however
strong he may be in his constitu-
ency. Lauder will bring TO British
politics a sense of reality that cal
not help but he refreshing ant
cleansing. Political contests arr
too apt to skate on the surface o
life and TO ignore the deeper emo
tions. Harry Lauder will see TO /
that the electorate to which he ap.
peals has a full dose of red-blooded
soul stirring issues to consider.

Cumberland, Md, April ls.-The 5000
miners in the Georges Creek soft coal re-

mines Wednesday, having accepted the
verdict from Washington. There was a
telegram from Secretary Wilson of the
labor department urging the men to re-
turn to work at once.
In his message to the miners Dr. Gar

Il have stated to Mr.. Diamond and TO
Mr. Lord, who attended the conference
here, that / will not take up the case of

LODGE FOR STONES PLACER
improbable, But Interesting to Speculate
About, the Capital Believes.

Washington, April ls.-The suggestion
made by responsible senators that Henry
Cabot Lodge be made chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, in sue
cession TO the late William j. Stone, has
started discussion of profound interest
at the capitol. The purpose OF the sug-
gestion is not to displace Senator Hitch
cock with Senator Lodge but is rather to
provide means of settling the dispute
over the craftsmanship should the ma
ioritv be found unable TO agree upon
Hitchcock. who has been bitterly at
tackled by a leading administration or
gan. Majority parties are not celebrated
for passing their best chairmanships over
to men in the minority, and it can hard
" be doubted that in the end Senator
Hitchcock will be chosen. However, it is
equally certain that should the Demo
cratic steering committee fail to select
Hitchcock, the opposition to John Sharp
Williams is so strong that the matter
might be taken up by the committee on
foreign relations itself, and eventually
the controversy might reach the floor.
Should this unlikely outcome be reached,
the election of Senator Lodge might rea-
sonably be expected. The opportunity
would be given, at least, to test out
professions of loyalty and
non partisanship in the conduct of the
war.
