Concerning Foundations

We have come across a document issued under the authority of the Committee Public lnforma- ton, the department, suppose, of publicity for the shipping board, in which there is a statement by Mir. Charles M. Schwab, the head of the board, complimenting his predecessors upon the eX- celent foundation they had laid, (withn whole year), for ship-buildng operations We fancy can sec the sly wink indulged in by Mr. Schwab as he gave voice to that compliment, for MT. schwab though the symbol of efficiency, is not without vein of humor.
 Mir John D. Ryan, understand, has no sense of humor it is hardly probable that the new head of the air board will extend compliments to his pre- decessors He will at once plunge into the business of bringing order out of chaos.
 Nor do suppose that anybody will indulge in the coarse humor complimenting General Sharpe of the ordnance bureau the careful deliberaton with which he has proceeded, the caution he has exercised against undertaking the manufacture of offensive weapons until the last word in weapons las come that at last we may have the best and most effective of all.
 Speaking of laying foundations, those who have wandered about Tucson must have come upon a foundation in the lower part of the city which has ong since been deserted by both business houses md residences. It is nearly city block in extent. It's walls of a height depth fifteen or twenty rect, both outer and cross-Wals, are of massive granite. They would support. at the time they were laid, would have supporsd a structure of ten stories.
 The foundation completed more than a gen eration ago. To the present generation it is much of a mystery the nearby hieroglyphic rocks Old timers though, seem to remember that it was in- ended to be foundation for a great hotel. Any way, it is the most imposing underground or below the surface architecture in Arizona. Hundreds of men. competent judges, have stood on those walls and without any play of humor at all, have declared that was excellent foundation a surprisingly ex- cellent foundation. That nothing was ever built upon it is argument against it's superiority as foundation.

NO FOURTH OFFICERS

GIMP FUNSTON-There will be no | fourth officers, training camp held at Funston it was stated officially here uIis week, the school being called off after it had been announced, some 1 preparation made tor it and many ap 1 riications received.
 It is thought that the order applies only to Camp Funston, and that camps may be held elsewhere, although of ficials here have no information on the subject to give out, those wishing to apply being referred directly to the adjutant generals office at Washing | ton.
 Construction of the new s25,OOO Red | Cross building at the base hospital has l been commenced and it is expected that it will be complete and ready for use in six weeks. It will be used for a recreational center for patients and convalescents and will be connected with various buildings of the hospital by covered passageways.
 Grover Cleveland Alexander, the greatest pitcher boasted by the big leagues, will don the uniform at Funs- ton this week, arriving at Camp Wood for his three weeks detention along with a big flock of other rockies. His induction into the service is hailed with joy by Funston baseball fans who are already planning additional conquests for the S9th division team with Alex ander on the mound. He will not be the only big -leaguer on the Funston team, however, Moves of Connie Mack : Athletics, Chuch Ward who was sold to Brooklyn this year, being also on the army ball squad as well as many well known stars from university leagues.
 When Jewish Welfare Worker God haar loaned his car to the Knights oi Columbus secretary, w. F.. Donohue at Funston recently for work connect ed with the latter organization in which the '. M. c. A. and the Lutheran organization also had a hand, it typi- fled the earnest efforts being put forth by these bodies, work which recognizes no creed but that of helping the boys in training and at the front. The broadmindedness of the men in charge which makes this kind of cooperation possible has made the welfare work al Funston especially successful.

An Anti -Creel Symposium

The Chronicle" New York presents a symposium against George Greet, the head of the Committee on Public Information the mouth piece of the admin lstration. There is presented array of opinions by members Of congress republicans and democrats regarding Greet. Some declare him to be dangerous; others, incompetent; others, untruthful Some say that their opinions of him, in the mldest language that would be at all suitable, would be unprintable Others say that he is not worth discussion One hesitates to make any comment for, since Creel is an administration pet critic of him would be apt to have the charge of partisanship and disloyalty flung in his face' One senator accuses him of pro- German utterances.
 We think the gentlemen who hold that the sub-. ject is not worth discussion have rather the better of it. The Committee Public Information is some thing that the people of the country do not need and never needed There other more prompt sources of information. The great news agencies and the special correspondents. among whom are first class men, while Greet is admittedly not more than a sec ond rater furnish the people the information for which they care and they furnish it more quickly than it could come from a wel-drected bureau of information.
 The Committee of Public Information has ceased never more than that, it has become worthless. be- of its unreability As news source and i, never one. it's emanations drifted along in an official bulletin" days after the news had become history.
 It costs several thousand dollars day but what ever it costs, it is bagatelle when the nation has come to think only in terms of billions Let it ru, along. The waste paper baskets of the country are capacous, and if necessary to the daily output of the Committee Public Information. we can increase their capacity.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
As to Election Precincts

 Arizona Republican:
 You print in this mornings paper communication signed "Yyrene.A in which the writer states he wrote you some time ago calling attention to the lack of polling places for kyrene, and proceeds to criticize the Board of Su- pervsors for not establishing a voting precinct at that place
 Why a resident or citizen of Marico- pa county should write the editor of The Arizona Republican in regard to establishing polling places at kyrene or any other place in the county, is more than 1 can understand. The present voting precincts and polling places at Tempe were estab lished when W. A. Moeur was mem ber of the board of supervisors. Tempe No. 1 takes in all territory west of Mill avenue and south of Tempe city limits, and Tempe No. ? takes in all territory east of Mill avenue and south of the city limits. The three and one half years I have been member of the board we have not had suggestion from any one in these polling places stating that they were not satisfied. The board of supervisors are the servants of the people of Maricopa county, anu liiSS diC Ail SO99ioAt eNSAS Monday and the clerk of the board is | on duty six days in the week. We welcome recommendations or suggestions from any one in the coun- | ty as to the establishment of polling 1 places, voting precincts or any thing else pertaining to the welfare of the | citizens of the county. But unless they | tell us what they want, how are we to | know hut what they are satisfied? | Registration for all the county com- menced this morning and it is a late hour to try to establish new voting precinct, but if the people of Kyrene want one established we will do our utmost to have it established for the coming election.
 Yours truly.

SOLDIERS NEED
 NUT TPAY;LEGA[ ADVICE |S FREE

Every man on darft list or in the service should understand that he need pay no fee to any attorney for assis- tance in connection with their legal rights as soldiers, nor should there he any cost in collecting pay and family allowances. arrears of pay, extra pay. travel pay and other moneys due the estates of deceased soldiers and sail ors. The secretary of the treasury lately condemned certain claim agents who had collected for services under the war risk insurance law. The sec retaries of the navy and of war and the Council of National Defense regard such practices as unpatriotic.
 Claims such as listed above may be addressed to the bureau of war risk insurance or to the auditor for the war department, Washington.
 In Arizona the State Council of De- fense has established a legal commit tee for such service and seeks to have legal representatives in every com munity, to give all needful help to the men called to arms or to their families and dependents.
