 LIBERTY LOAN HONOR ROLL
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The attention of the governor oi Arizona was called to the fact that Yavapai county and particularly the towns which first went over the top on their allotmcnts had not received official recognition on the honor ros- ter which is being kept at the State capitol Yesterday the following communication was directed to the Liberty Loan headquarters at the Chamber Of Commerce:
 'I am in receipt of your letter of the 2oth ultimo and may l not ask that you convey to the people of Yavapai county my congratulations on their magnificent showing in sub scribing to the Third Liberty Loan. l shall certainly sec that Yavapai IS not overlooked on the roll of honor being kept in the capitol My under standing is that this roll is kept up from information furnished by the State Liberty Loan committee and they probably have not gotten around to reporting the cities and towns of Iavapai county. Nevertheless. am referring your letter to the Commits sion of State Institutions, custodian of this honor roll, in order that there may be no further delay in the plac- ing of Prescott, Jerome, Clarkdale, Stoddard. Miller Valley and Hum- boldt on the roll. The town of Stod- dard has paid fitting tribute to the patriot for whom it was named. Yava- pal county continues to be an inspira- ton to the rest of the State.

BEST THEATRE

"A Dogs Life,' is the initial sub- ject in the series of eipht $1,OOO ,OOO laugh-makers that Charlie Chaplin is doing for the First National Exhbi- tors circuit will be shown at the Best Theatre last time today.
 The story with which Chaplin in- augurates production under his own management was selected by a pro- cess of elimination, after half a dozen scripts had been rehearsed and found wanting for one reason or an other. Finally Charlie himself hit upon the idea of utilizing as his chief support a homeless, unkempt white mongrel that had sought refuge in the studio one day. The shivering, neglected cur furnished the novel note of pathos that the little come dian believes absolutely essential to the type of screen humor that he has made all his own, so a story was built about the pair-Charlie as a tender-hearted vagrant and the dog as his only friend.
 From the moment at the opening of the story when he is aroused from profound slumber in fence-corner by the aroma from the wares of a passing hot-dog vendor, until his final triumph over gang of cabaret crooks in a resort to which he and the dog have wandered on the trai of beautiful, innocent-eyed young singer, there is no occasion when the action does not make full demands upon Charlie's powers of expression Also showing one of those famous Wm. s. Hart, two reel Western dramas.

Hun Aviation Is Failure On
 West Front
Allies Have Swept Enemy Flyers From The
 Sky.

London, May 6.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)-German aviation has proven signal failure in the great offensive on the western front according to a correspondent of the Morning Post. Writing from the front, he says:
 German aviation does not exist at present. There are two principal reasons, the first being the tremend- ous wastage caused by the incessant attacks of the British and French pi- lots on German machines, the sec ond being the bombing of airdomes. The enemy today suffers from lack both of men and machines in it's fly ing arm.
 ''In every department the Germans have been and still are exerting their full strength. If they had airplanes available there is no doubt that they would have full use for them. as we have done, for observation purposes to prevent the bringing up of rein forcements and to disorganize troops on the actual field of battle. They have done none of these things effect ively.
 "The conclusion seems manifest that it is because they have not the necessary force available. In any case the fact remains that German aviation has ceased to be force to be seriously reckoned with. In the last four weeks, the situation, which on several occasions has nec- essarily been delicate, would have been very much more so had the Germans been equipped with an adequate air service to supply them with def mite observation"

OFFICER URGES
 YOUTHS TO JOIN
 ARKANSAS GUARD

Little Rock, May 17.-While there is no prospect of an immediate or even an early call of the National Guard units to the colors, it is the de- sire of the authorities to keep the or ganizations to their fullest strength, and maximum of possible efficiency in the event they are needed by the Government.
 Adjt. Gen. England has addressed the following to the commanding of ficer of the National Guard organiza- tions:
 "There are hundreds of young men in our state who were under the re- quired age on registration day. The law will soon require them to regis ter. and in due course they will be subject to draft.
 "You should make special appeal to these men personally and through the newspapers, to join your organ ization. Impress upon them that they have everything to gain and nothing to lose by enlisting with your organization now, that the ex- perience they will gain in drilling might qualify them for immediate ap- pointment as non-commissioned off cers if they should be drafted into the National Army before your or ganization is called into active ser vice; and that it will not only be an advantage to them personally but that it is their patriotic duty to do everything in their power to qualify themselves for efficient service as soldiers of their country with all the haste possible"

AlRPlANE ROUTE TO SWEDEN
mini Of the Proposed Line Con.
meeting With Germany.

The following bulletin on Trelleborg
and Sassnitz, the termini of the pro-
posed SwedishGerman airplane route,
which assumes special significance in
the light of recent developments In
the diplomatic relations betwe,s Ger
many and Sweden, has been issued by
National Geographic society.
Between Trelleborg. the most south
erly town In the Kingdom of Sweden,
and Sassnitz, summer resort on the
northeastern shore Of the German
island Of Rugen. express steamers in
times Of peace make regular trips
across this arm of the Baltic in four
hours. This is the chief water link In
the 24-hour express service between
Stockholm and Berlin. Neither town
would be of any Importance were 1t not
for the fact that they are the termini
of this steamer service.
Trelleborg Is quaint old town Of
some 10000 inhabitants, lying 20 miles
southeast of Malmo, capital of Skane.
teh most populous province in all Swe-
den. 1t Is only 10 miles from Malmo
to the Danish capital, Copenhagen.
Sassnitz Is one of several popular
seaside resorts on the Island of Rugen,
the largest insular possession Of Ger
many, having an area about equal to
that Of Cape Cod. Only about $500
people make Sassnitz their permanent
home, but during the bathing season in
times Of peace the village ds visited
annually by more than 10000 pleasure
seekers.
The water trip from Trelleborg to
Sassnitz is 60 miles. Thus the rail.
and-steamer distance between Stock
holm and Berlin Is AS miles.
