GERMANS' GAINS
 NOT DANGEROUS
 AND ARE COSTLY
Bend in Allied Line is Said to be Insignificant-Allies Expected Attack Here and Were We'll Prepared.

With the French Army in France, June 10.-(Noon)-Fighting in this war probably never has been more severe than that going on today in the great battle of French and Ger man armies between Montdidier and Noyon.
 The Germans attacking on a ground where the entente allies were ready to receive the shock, have found them selves thrown into a slaughterhouse, whence most of them never will make an exit.
 When the German infantry began coming over in the densest masses, they encountered immediately heavy fire from both machine guns and ar tiilery, which moved them down. Ever since, as fresh waves entered the conflict, they were subjected to similar punishment.
 The German progress must not be taken to mean that the German forces have overcome the defenders, who intended from the beginning to retire to their actual lines of combat as soon as the action developed.
 Some idea of the determined nature of the fighting may be gathered from the struggle on each wing. The vil- lage of Courcelles changed hands many times and when this dispatch was sent was in the possession of the allies. At the other end of the line, Mont Renaud was still making a magnificent defense and last reports showed that Lepmont was yet in al- lied hands.
 The center about Ressons- sur Matz where the Germans made their most obstinate effort and formed a pocket tending southeastward, is the only part of the line against which the Germans have been able to report a real gain. Their intention is to try to reach the banks of the Disc and threaten the allied salient, which ex- tends to the vicinity of Noyon.

The kaiser did not figure on the fact that even his own subjects, ac- customed to obeying his merest wish if it took their lives, would change and become free men, after associat- ing with the people of America for few years, and would fail to rise and cause a social revolution in America, when he called on them to do so.

EVERY PRECAUTION TAKEN TO MAKE
LIFE IN CAMP PLEASANT.

Lawn fences of varied designs
are being built throughout
the camp and flowers have been
planted in many of the lawns.
These improvements add a
touch of beauty and change the
general appearance of the camp,
besides they make it look some

Surrounded by all this gorg-

to sleep on; plenty Of good warm
clothes to wear. and an abundant

books and papers.
Suppose he has book or ledger in
which he keeps a careful account
with his stock and crops, and tables
to show what he owes, what is coming
to him, and what he spends and makes
each year.
Suppose he uses his newspapers and

Suppose he goes to his Office on

MUST CARRY THE FLAG OF
LIBERTY TO WHOLE WORLD.

Our ancestors, over four GEN.
turies ago, breathed the pure air
of liberty, and braved the un-
known ocean to plant its emblem
in the Indian wilderness of the
Western hemisphere. So let us
carry this same flag back to tyr
amized and oppressed Europe,
and plant it SO firmly that it will
float above the whole world for
ever.
Its a fierce fight to whip the
Kaiser.
Its hard, says France and
England too.
But there's one flag left to win
the victory.
And that's our flag. The Red,
White and Blue.

SOLDIERS TREATED WITH PRO-
FOUND RESPECT.

Every soldier is treated with
profound respect by his super
ior officers. The officers are just
common men commissioned by
the government to organize the
army into an effective fighting
force. Each officer seeks to gain
the confidence and respect of his
men, just as the teacher seeks to
gain the confidence and respect
of her pupils. The greater re-
spect the men have for their
officers. the greater effort they
put forth to execute the COM
mands, consequently this officer
soon has the best drilled and the
best trained company in the reg
iment. which speaks for him,
just as good school speaks for
the teacher. So you see that the
soldier is treated with at least as
much kindness and courtesy as
he deserves.
At his leisure hours the sol.
diers may go to the Y. M. c. A.
and attend religious service, en-
Joy the music. or go into the
reading rooms where he finds
books, papers magazines. chairs
tables and stationery. He may
sit in parlor chairs and read and
to his own satisfaction.

FLOUR SITUATION IN
NATION VERY CRITICAL.
Hoover Lays Down Six New
Rules That Must Be
Observed.

Il liN w AA~tb AAOAA
the nation is very critical. More
drastic regulations are absolut-
ely necessary if this nation is to
do its duty to its associates in
war and provide for the needs of
its soldiers and sailors at the
front. The following appeal
from Herbert Hoover should
have the earnest attention of
ever patriotic American.
If we are to furnish the Allies
with the necessary proportion of
wheat to maintain their war
bread from now until the next
harvest. And this is a military
necessity, we must reduce our
monthly consumption to twenty
one million bushels a month as
against our normal consumption
of about forty-two million bushels
of fifty percent of our normal
consumption. Reserving a mar
gin for distributor to the army
and for special cases, this leaves
FOR general consumption approx
imately one and one-half pounds
of wheat products weekly per
person Many of our consumers
are depended upon bakers bread.
Such bread must be durable and
therefore requires a larger pro
portion of wheat products than
cereal breads baked in The house
hold. Our army and navy re-
quires a full allowance"
"The welI-to-day in our popn-
lation can make greater sacrifice
in The consumption of wheat
products than can the poor. In
addition our population in the
agriculture districts where the
other cereals are abundant are
more skilled in the preparation OF
breads from these other cereals
than the crowded city and indus
trial populations with improved
transportation conditions.
"We now have available a
surplus of potatoes. We also
have in the spring months a snr.
plus of milk and we have sample
corn and oats for human con-
sumption. The drain on rye and
barley as substitutes has already
greatly exhausted the supply OF
these grains to effect the needed
saving of wheat.
I'VE are wholly dependent
apon the voluntary assistance OF
the American people and we
ask that the following rules
shall be observed.
First -Householders to ust
not to succeed a total of ont
and one-half pounds per week Of
wheat products per person.
This means not more than on'
and three fourths pounds of vic
tory bread containing the re
quired percentage of substitutes
and about one half pound o
cooking -four, macaroni, crackers
pastry. pies, cakes, breakfas
cereals all combined"
2nd Public eating places AM
clubs to observe two wheatles
days per day, Monday and Wed
nesday as at present. In addl
ton thereto, not to serve to an,
one guest at any one meal a
aggregate of breadstuffs, maca

holders. +"
Third = Retailers to sell not
more than one eighth of a barrel
of flour to any town customer at
any one time and not more than
one quarter of a barrel to any
country customer at any one
time and in no case to sell wheat
produts without the sale of an
equal amount of other cereals.
"Fourth-We ask the bakers
and grocers to reduce the volume
of victory bread sold by the de-
livery of the three quarter pound
loaf where one pound was sold
before and corresponding pro-
portions in other weights. We
also ask bakers not to increase
the amount of their wheat flour
purchases beyond seventy per-
cent of the average monthly a.
mount purchased in the four
months prior to March first.
Fifth Manufactures using
wheat products for non-food pur-
poses should cease such use en-.
tirely.
"Sixth-1here is no limit upon
the use of other cereals flours
and meals, corn, barley, buck
wheat. potato flour, etc., Many
thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat
products whatever except a very
small amount for cooking pur-
poses and are doing so in perfect
health and satisfaction. There
is no reason why all the Amer
lean people who arc able to cook

subsist perfectly we'll with the
use of less wheat products than
One-half pounds a week and We
especially ask the well todo house
hold in the country to follow this
additional program in order that
we may provide the necessary
marginal supplies for those parts
of the community less able to a
dapt themselves to so large a
proportion of substitutes"
I'm order that we shall be able
to make the exports that are
absolutely demanded of US to
maintain the civil population
and soldiers of the Allies and
our own army we propose to
supplement the voluntary CO.
operation of the public by a
futher limitation of distribution
and we shall place at once re-
stricti0ns on distributions which
will be adjusted from time tc
time to secure as nealy equitable
distribution as possible. With
the arrival of harvest we should
be able to relax such restrictions
Until then we ask for the neces'

Big Picture Saturdau Night

Fox film spectacle, "Cleo patra," with Theda Bara in that role. This production comes to the Pastime theater tomorrow (Saturday) for one night only. As in all great photo drama pro- ductions, there is an orchestral accompaniment that follows the picture.
 This production, which has been creating an unusual i'm pression upon all devotees of the film drama Tn the most advanced form, has never been equaled, it is claimed, by any other photo play of like proportions. in the number of scenes presented and in the time taken by it's repre- sentation.
 SuperlatiYes have been applied in describing Cleopatra" for it's rich resourcefulness, but so far as report warrants they do not measure up to the unlimitless beauties of the drama as pre- sented upon the screen. There is magnifcence in every scene, sumptuousness in the costuming the miss en scenes being en- riched by multitudes, the display of grandeur, the afiuence of re- gal splendor, such as befitting the mode and fashion of the ancients.

Editors Arrested for Libel

On the complaint of Governor Hunt, a warrant was issued out of the court of Justice De Souza m Phoenix Wednesday against Allan B. Jaynes, general mana ger of the Tuscon Citizen, charg-
 ng criminal libel. The basis of the action was an editorial para graph which appeared in the Citizen of April 30, making re- ference to a statement which had appeared in the Coconino Sun in which the governor was represented to have spoken de- precatingly of the war.
 At the same time the con- plaint was filed against MT. Jaynes. another was lodged against Col. Fred s. Breen. owner of the Coconino Sun and a warrant against hlm was also issued and delivered to the sher- if who telegraphedthe warrantto the sheriff at Flagstaff directing that Colonel Breen be taken into custody that day. The Coconino sheriff, however. after serving the warrant released him on his own recognizance. The prelim- mary hearing of both men was set for next Saturday morning.
 The action is of the greatest in- terest because of the position of MT. Jaynes in politics, as re- publican national committeeman for Arizona.
 Colonel Breen has also had a prominent part in the affairs of the state. He was a member of the legislature and he was dis bursting officer of the government for the selectiYe draft until the first of the present year.

 According to h Holbrook News one of the men interested in prospecting for oil in that sec tion is Hon. Geo. D. Meiklejohn. of Nebraska, and he is at Hol- brook now looking over the fields. Twenty-Five years ago the editor of this paper, then engaged in newspaper work in Nebraska, was quite intimately acquainted with Gentleman George, and was interested in following his political advancement from lieu tenant governor to assistant sec retary of war under President Mckinley. In 1889, MT. Meikle- john was elected lieutenant gov ernor, and it was his firm de- termined stand that permitted Gov. Boyd to take his seat. The republican governor was Tefus- ing to give up the office. and the populist legislature was deter mined to count out MT. Boyd. With a near riot on his hands, and threats of personal violence, MT. Meiklejohn insisted on his rights as the presiding officer of the senate to preside over the joint session to canvass the re- turns, and at the conclusion an- nounced that Coy. Boyd had been elected. .--Winslow Mail.
