KRUPP'S SECRET COURT TRIES
TRAITORS IN UNDERGROUND
Woman Head of Munition Plant Is
Judge Of Tribunal, and Victims
Usually Receive Death Penalty.


Judge of Tribunal, and Victims
Usually Receive Death Penalty.
In an underground apartment of
the mansion tenated by Bertha
Krupp, at Essen, where the great
German ordnance plant is located, is
what is perhaps the most secret and
amazing court in the world, accord
ing to Pearson's Weekly. Here trait
ors. employed in the most guarded ar
senal in Europe are tried for the
crime of treachery, and death is their
inevitable sentence.
The judge of this strange and
weird court is the cannon queen her
self, and she passes the dread SEN
tence without a vestige Of emotion,
in spite Of the shrieks for mercy from
the doomed prisoners. Those who sell
the guarded secrets of Essen cannot
hope to escape the extreme penalty.
Hundreds of nationalities are rep
resented in the large number of men
employed at the Krupps great plant.
In spite of the numerous guards
there are occasions when, tempted by
money, workmen disclose the treas
ured secrets to the agents of for
eign agent. There are scores of de-
tectives employed and all kinds of
traps are set.

Army, was relieved by Gen. Fayolle, the Frenchman, and right hand to Gen. Foch. Fayolle performed miracles in the first few hours after taking over the stricken field. With few French divisions he checked the German rush and then rallied the broken Fifth British Army and linked a resistance across that field that will be sung of in France and England for a thou sand years.
 And he is holding them still. He saved Amiens and has kept the foe hemmed into that costly elbow salient formed by Mont didier and Noyon.
 Like Napoleon and Foch, this new hero Is an artilleryman and a master of strategy, and, like these same two famous French artilIerists, Fayolle fits brilliantly into the panoply of war. He has the elan the sol diers love- He has the dash and daring that the world at large loves in its military heroes. Fayolle commanded division at the beginning of the war and has seen hard service and served with distinction in the hardest fighting on the western front for over three years. He took part in the Somme offensive and prior to that com manded corps in the first battles around Arras. He was sent to Italy in command of the allied forces that went to help hold the Piave line In fact, he had only re- turned from the Italian front few days when the German drive began. Well it was for the allies that they had Fayolle in Picardy, even as they had Foch at the Marne.
 It is believed that when Foch launches his counter stroke that Fayolle will lead it against the Hunnish front.

A new hero, or rather military genius, has arisen from the red geam of the west ern battle front, Gen. Fayolle, the French chieftain who stopped the breach left by the Fifth British Army when it reeled back and shifted to the northward, allowing the Germans to advance that deep wedge in the allied lines east of LaFere In fact, the experts declare that Gen. Fayolle's strate- gy and daring in Picardy ranks with the ex- ploit of Gen. Foch in the battle of the Marne. It is not yet known just what hap pened to that British Fifth Army before LaFere. At the end of the second days offensive Gen. Haig reported he was hold ing everywhere in the second lines. The Prussian was stopped after making only moderate gains Then came the disaster before I.aFere The Fifth Army crumpled up and, worst of all, piyoted to the north, leaving fatal gap between the French and British forces. The Germans were quick to take advantage of this opening, and brought forward division after division and threw them into this gap.
 Nine miles did they gain unchecked. Disaster for the entire allied armies loomed in the foreground of the fourth day of the German drive It was then that Gen. Cough, commander of the Fifth British

GUY WEIGH APPOINTED SHERIFF BY BOARD OF
 COUNTY SUPERVISORS
Popular Under-Sheriff Is Placed in Charge to Fiji Out the Unexpired Term of Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler.

The board of supervisors were in session at Tombstone yesterday and one of the first acts of the board was the appointment of Guy C. Welch to ! fill the office of sheriff made vacant by the resignation of Sheriff Wheeler upon his departure for France. MT. Welch has been acting as under-sher- if ever since Mir Wheeler was first eelcted to the office in 1912. He mas the record of being one of the best under-sheriff's of any office in the state. His methods of keeping the records of the office have been com mented upon with favor by every state examiner that has made an examina- ton of the office. MT. Welch, before going into the sheriff's office was the manager of the Green Cattle com pany's interests at Hereford for two years and prior to that was in the em- plOy of the Copper Queen store at Naco. He has hosts of friends through out the county, who are more than glad to learn of his appointment.
 Mir. Welch intends to keep the for mer deputies of Mir Wheeler so far as possible, that is, the regular deputies that are on the pay roll of the county. To these officers he yesterday issued a commission: Harry Rafferty of Tombstone, James L. Cannon and A. w Howe, Bisbee; William Brakfield, at Lowell; Charles E. Cross and Percy Bowden of Douglas; J.

Patriotism in Arizona

Folks return from trips east and tell their western friends that they do not know the nation IS at war According to the tales of these travellers the east rings with war preparations and seethes with tn, works and movements of war. Maybe so. We have no powder, factories or training camps or shipyards out here in Arizona, but even the most casual observer who travels in these parts cannot help but be inn pressed by the patriotism of the state at large. Since that German drive began on the twenty-first day of last March, and the allied line reeled back before LaFere and bent back in many other places to the peril ous edge of disaster, Arizona has hitched her belt in at least three notches and her eyes are set in the suns glare until they are pinpoints, and she IS taking the war seri- ously
 The Liberty Bond campaign, just closed, proves in most spectacular fashion that the state is awake to the needs and the serious ness of the war A different feeling pre- vailed during their third bond campaign from that which held in the former two loan drives The workers did not say Please" They said You must!''
 German sympathy talk and propagan- da have been reported more or less over the county ever since the war started, and not much attention was paid to it. But it is different now It is worth mans lib- erty at least to talk disloyalty in this camp these days. Arizona is after the slackers and pacifists and agitators and German sympathizers and she Is in grim earnest The spirit of the state shines bright and fine. The patriot is to the front and the wobblies are in their holes.
 From every section of the state it IS the same They had a Liberty Bond parade in Phoenix Saturday night that was hummer and whale. From Pima comes the glori- ous news of the bond sale. Mesa made magnificent showing In the columns of every newspaper of the state is reflected the new vim and purpose and patriotism of the citizens of that community.
 We have no gun factories or shell plants, it is true, nor troops swinging down the gangplank to the transport while the bands play But we have the copper mines that are just as vital as any of these, and they are going full blast And we have the spirit and the fire and the resolution to back President Wilson Force policy to the everlasting limit.
