Decision to break up the organization, said a statement issued by the directors, was reached after conference with depart ment of justice officials.
 Attorney General Gregory in a let ter written shortly after the armi- stice was signed asked that the or ganization, which was formed shortly after relations were severed with Ger many and which the attorney general said" has performed a great task, continue it's activities during the period of readjustment. A canvass of the situation, the statement says, re- suited in an agreement to disband February l.

The return of peace would soon render the problem of finance acute, the directors believe. and may local organizations be forced to sus- pend.
 Although the league will disband, the directors statement expresses a belief that the service of the league will not end" but it will remain a potent force through the training re- ceived by its members during the war.

COL. GREENWAY
 REPORTED ON WAY HEREFROM FRANCE
Local Man Has Been Released From Hospital Over There and Is Expected Soon After New Year

Col John c. Greenway, general manager of the Calumet & Arizona Mining company, who secured leave of absence from his directorate in order to serve in the United States engineers, has been released from the hospital in France, where he was taken after being severely gassed by the Germans, and now is reported to be en route to Arizona. It is expected that he will arrive in New York about January l and come back to Arizona soon thereafter.
 It is not known here when Colonel Greenway will procure his discharge from the army, but it is probable, If the event has not transpired already, that it will not be long after his re- turn. His intention upon entering the army was to get into the fight, an aspiration accomplished in a manner calculated to bring pride to his rela- tives and friends, judging from let ters received in this district from France. Not long ago it was reported by Sgt. Maj. Thomas Cowan that Col onel Greenway had been recommend Cd TOT DlSiluS SulSHtu oSlNlSC htueA as a recognition of his fearless serv- ice in the American army.
 He applied for a commission when the United States entered the war with Germany and was commissioned a major of engineers soon afterward and after making hasty arrangements to leave his position he sailed for the front Because of his efficient work with the engineers and because Of his intense desire to engage in the real fight he was made a lieutenant colonel and assigned to the command of an infantry regiment at the head of which he won distinction and finally was gassed by the enemy which end ed his activity.
 The many friends of Colonel Green way are anxiously now awaiting the opportunity to see him back in Ari- zona when they can extend personal congratulations for his service in helping winning victory over the Huns.

 Singer, wife of a department of
 justice agent hers, passed through
 an experience yesterday afternoon
 about , o'clock such as seldom
 falls to the lot of any one in the workaday world. When MT. Singer reached his home in Quarry canyon about 5:30 o'clock last evening he found the doorkey missing.
 When he gained entry to the house he found his wife tied to a chair in the middle of the room, her mouth gagged with a rubber ball. He i'm mediately released her.
 Mrs. Singer then told him that about 5 o'clock she was in the rear of the house and heard a noise in the front roOm and started to go back when she was accOsted by a man who had entered the front door and was standing about the middle of the room. He said: Mrs Singer is Mir. Singer home?" She replied: No; he is not, but he is liable to be here at any minute" He told her that MT Singer had sent him up for some paDers that had his signature on Incm and that they were in Singers trunk. He asked to be shown the trunk. but she refused and that then he said ne was going to look anyway. She start ed towari the door to give an alarm as she had become frightened. As she made this move he pulled pictol from his pocket and. covering her, made her sit down in the chair. locked the door and stated: We will have no noise about this matter"
 Singer has been meddling into my personal affairs and l am going to see into his," said the man. He has some of my personal papers and I am going to get them or get him"
 He then made the woman go from the sitting room into the bed room and take a seat while he started to go through the trunks. He first open ed her trunk but discovered that it was filled with wOmen's clothes and then opened Singers trunk. He was going through it while Mrs. Singer was watching him. Then. she said, he discovered a rope. and picking it up marched her back to the sitting room and tied her to a chair. putting a handkerchief in her mouth. He then went back into the bed room and con tinued to search it.
 Mrs. Singer managed. while he was doing this. to kick the table over and this caused him to rush out. As he came she noticed that he had pack age of letters tied with a string in his hand. He went up to her and took the handkerchief from her mouth and picked up a little rubber ball that was lying on the floor and forced it into her mouth He then unlocked the door and went out. Mrs. Singer says that there was an automobile waiting in

BEAUMONT, Wednesday, Dec. 25.-(By the Associated Press.)- President Wilson today pledged himself to the American troops in the field to attain peace which would preserve the fruits of the sacrifices they have made. Standing with barred head in field near Langres, over which Caesar marched with his legions centuries ago, the president told 10000 American infantrymen that, now that they had done tAeir part 10 win the ideals for which America entered the war, they could depend upon him to see that they were preserved.
 The president came up from Paris to spend Christmas day with the men who have done such a great part in winning the war. Historic old Ghau- mont, headquarters of the American army, did itself proud in its recep' tion. In its homely way it rivaled Paris and in the depth of its sincerity it fully equalled it.

 The president nodded appreciative ly and smiled from time to time.
