of this shipping agreement.
"As recently as March IA, 1918. at

been informed that the situation had
reached a point where the assoclat'

One year ago the United States
abandoned its neutrality and pledged
its entire resources Of life and treas
ure to insure the triumph OF democ-
racy over autOcracy and to assist to
save the world from the blight OF mil
itarism. As a result OF a species OF
naval warfare directed against belllg-
erents and neutrals alike which the
Netherlands government have them
selves declared to be illegal, there has
during this period existed a shortage
of shipping which threatens to post
pone at frightful cost the ultimate vic

which in magnitude and significance
has seldom if ever before been equal

During this period there have
been lying in ports of the United
States and subject to its jurisdiction
and control approximately 100000 tons

REQUESTS SOLDIERS
 BE ENTERTAINED IN
 PUBLIC, FREE PARKS

Col. Charles W. Harris, representing the federal government in the opera ton of the selective service laws in Arizona, has requested the committee on entertainments for the selective service men not to hold the farewell parties for the boys at any park where au admission fee is charged persons who wish to be with the men on the eve of their departure for canton ments.
 The request from the adjutant gen. Cral grew out of complaints that came to him following the entertainment of the last contingent of selectivc service men at Riverside Park last Sunday. The informant said that while the selective service men themselves were admitted to the park free. all others. even members of their families and friends who had come down to spend the afternoon with them and hear the speaking were charged to get into the park. Investigation developed that even one of the speakers of the day paid admission to get into the park.
 Colonel Harris took the stand that such procedure was making capital out of a national institution.

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR BROWNS UPON COUNCIL OF DEFENSE'S
 ORDER TO MARK MERCHANDISE

FLAGSTAFF, Aug. 2S-In response to a comnuni- cation from C. E. Addan1s vice chairman of the Arizona Council of Defense asking for expression of opinion regarding recent resolutions adopted by the council order ing all merchants to mark the cost and selling price every article Timothy A. Riordan, the federal food ad mnistraor for Arizona has sent the following wire:
 Referring to your letter enclosing resolutions re- quirng merchants to mark cost and sale price of each article offered for sale have to inform you that working under definite program and therefore cannot cooperate with you such rule The expense attached to the plan proposed by you would doubt increase cost of commodities to and would be serious drain upon power which the government is attempting to conserve at this time.''
 In explanation the food administrator stated that this telegram should not be construed as showing lack of willingness to cooperate with the Arizona Council of Defense in all matters which not in conflict with the national program of the food administration
