CRADLES AND TRENCHES.

When DR.. Josephine Baker. in the course of her
propaganda work for the saving of 100000 American
babies year. declared that there is three times
as much danger in being baby in a crowded city as
being soldier in France" her statement chal-
lenged She seems to have proved her point.
Her conclusion she says was based on official figures
for French military mortality the second half Of
on New York Citys infant mortality reports
for 1917.
the half-year OF lighting referred TO, the total
losses French army including missing and prs-
oners well killed, only little than one
percent OF the men engaged That period included the
great somme drive. the fall drive of Germans
against Verdun and other big military operations The
following year the death OF children under one

children between and two years. per thou

ism. For the president is above the
vulgar, the low passions, and the
ultimately self degrading. He. never
appeals 10 the primitive in us in or
der TO render us fit and willing to
make sacrifices. With firm faith in
the power Of the noble and the
ideal to stir the American people to
heroism and self-immolation, he ever
imparts to our purpose a sublime
and humanitarian content. For he
knows that it is righteousness that
exalts a nation" And he wishes us
to be exalted and not dwarfed.
Our president has emphasized this
in nearly all Of his uneXcelled mes
sages. An appreciative nation would
have long ago committed these TO
memory and daily recited their quin-
tessence as a religious creed. They
would have done this particularly
with his last public utterance. In

In order that all Of us here might

FLAG RAISING
 SERVICES AT OATMAN

Oatman observed Decoration Day by
 flag raising service, in which the Miners Union of that place proudly flung its service flag to the breeze with 46 stars on it's field of white, showing that the horny handed sons of toll were there with their loyalty to country.
 Owing to delayed trains Governor Hunt, who was slated to deliver the address, did not arrive in Kingman un- til the late afternoon. His car was ready and he was whisked out to the big gold camp, where he arrived in time to keep the appointment. From those who were present we learn that the meeting was one of the most en- thusiastic ever held in the camp and a great gathering assembled in the open air. Governor Hunts address was along the lines of governmental labor policies and a tribute to the la barring men for their fidelity to duty and loyalty to the government.
 J. A. Burgess, of the United East ern, made an address filled with ex- pressions of loyalty and good will, and those who know him will have no trou- ble in convincing themselves that what he says he means. Other speakers were A. c. Cooling, secretary of Snow ball Miners Union; S. D. Stewart, county attorney, and c. W. Maier. Mir. Maier is a rough-and-ready patriot, who believes that no one in the United States can be a fifty-fifty American. We like his talks and we like his way of going after the men who are luke warm or wholly disloyal.
 Mrs. A. c. Werden, of Gold Road, gave a reading that received great ap- plause.
 The Honor Flag was raised by Gov ernor Hunt, while the band played the Star Spangled Banner. During the evening the band gave a pleasing con cert and played many selections dur ing the intervals at the dance, which followed the flag raising.

GRABS LEGISLATOR

l A roundup was carried out in Phoe- nix last Saturday of all slackers ana deserters by a special posse of off cers and more than 2000 were taken into the tolls. Every man in the draft age who could not show a registration card was arrested. Among the num- Der was Jasper N. Brewer, Mohave county's representative in the legisla- ture. Jasper had left his registration card at home and had to talk pretty fast to convince the officer that he really and truly was not trying to evade the draft law. The boys had some fun with him over the event, and we will wager that he will surely take his card with him when he leaves home again.
 SPECIAL ARMY TRAINING
 Provost Marshal General Crowder has sent out to all boards in the Unit ed States and the colonies a request that all selected men can get army training by making application there for. All selects should at once make application to their local boards and receive a leaflet telling them how and where to obtain this special training and of what it consists. The training for vocation work will be under the military and it is sure to be thorough. Do not wait until you are called, but take the matter up at once. Two hun dred thousand selects, those probably rejected for some defect, will soon be called for service in the quartermas- ter, tank, truck or field service, and some training is necessary to fit men for their avocations.

SPOT ON HAPoLEoN's RECORD
Ultimate Failure Dimmed the Glory Of
Great Soldiers Early Wonderful
Successes In the Field.

The military genius Of Bonaparte Is
still a fruitful theme for discussion. In
the early part OF his career he achieved
such successes as made his name a
terror to Europe. and gained for him
q prestige which a series Of continu-
ous and overwhelming defeats In tho
latter part OF his history was unable
to destroy. But In the game Of war,
results alone can form the criterion,
and the victories Of Marengo. Austen
litz and wagram can scarcely be adj
mitted in compensation for the blum
ders Of the Russian campaign and tho
overthrow ut Waterloo.
One qualification Of a great general
was conspicuous In his character, the
capacity Of recognizing and rewarding
merit In whatever position II might BIO
found. Favoritism was almost un-
known In his army. He was Of cold
FLOODED temperament. engrossed ex-
clusively by the nlaster-passion. ambi-
ton. and the very cause which kept
his moral purity inviolate made him
almost insensible to the promptings Of
love and affection.

Scorpio IL a constellation and the
eighth sign Of the zodiac. The con-

mer in the skies OF the southern Unit

nificent tail clears the horizon. With

over one-sixth Of the planetary circle,
the Scorpion being represented with
exaggerated claws embracing a c!rcu-
lar space where Libra is now placed.
From this irregularity It may be In
ferred that the constellation IS older
than the zodiac. which was formed be-
fore 1000 b. G. Libra. though later. Is
of no small antiquity, since IL appears
In the Egyptian zodiacs. Its adoption
