Sheldon Has Four in Service
 Recently the Copper Era published a list of select men now in the ser vice, and stated how many each com munity in Greenlee county had sent to the front. Fn this report only one was credited to Sheldon, one of the most patriotic communities in the county. according to population. We are informed that four men from that place are now in the national army, and not a deserter is charged to that community. Our story only related to drafted men, and it is pos .sible that the other three were vol unteers.

THE AIRCRAFT REPORT.

Even though the senate committee
was not able TO find anything about
aircraft production to be enthusiastic
about, 1T admitted in its report that
u was going along much better now.
There is nothing startling in the com
mittee s findings that there have been
mistakes and failures in the carrying
out of the plans for the production of
1irplanes, and that money has been
wasted. The question of whether
there have been acts which would
warrant the prosecution of private in
dividuals or government officials is
left for Charles E. Hughes to find out
through his Investigations
When Mr.. Hughes reports, it will be
known how much or how little has oc-
CURED to support the accusations of
Custom Borglum. According to Borg
lum, there has been criminality. There
5 a great difference between crime
and a mistake in Judgment. On the
basis of the senate committee s re-
port, for the present, at least, the
public need not go beyond regretting
that so many mistakes have been
made. 1t is some satisfaction to learn
that these have been corrected in a
large degree, as have other mistakes
which have been made in connection
with the preparation for war. The
senate committees report on aircraft
production is, for the most part. de-
voted to retrospective contemplation
of milk that has been split, and long
and loud lamentations over that will
do no good.
