Saturday morning at 9:01, the
entire quota Of s102, ,0OD having
been fully subscribed at that
time. Since then subscriptions
have been coming into the banks
every day, and 1t 10 estimated
that the total subscriptions to
date will equal approximately
$3.50, 900. After all the subserip-
tions have been made, the CON-
mittee in charge intends to equal
ize the same 90 that the quota Of
$102, 900 shall not he over-sub-
scribed. or if 80. but to q small
extent. The idea being to have
everyone who was assessed to
subscribe for the amount which
was allotted to him, and then to
diminish the subscriptions pro-
portionately and equitably. It 10
quite likely another issue of Lib
erty Bonds will be made some
time this fall. and it is the inten-
ton of the committee that Gillian
county shall do its share by sub
scribing for the amount appor-
toned it. but that nothing is to
be gained by g large over sub
scription. and that il is much
better to equalize the subscrip.
tons to this loan. and that by 90
doing the people Of the county
will be in a better condition to
subscribe to the next one, il one
should be made this fsi;. Ssiii; no No

county in the state to 90 over the
top on this drive. and the people
of the county are to be commend
ed and congratulated on the man
ner in which they subscribed TO
this issue. II is conclusive evi
dence that the people at last have
been awakened from their slum-
bers, and now realize they are In
the war to win. and are willing
to assist the boys In the trenches
with their dollars. About
fifty per cent Of those who re1
ceived notices from the commit.
tee have not as yet responded.

so or inform the committee o.
their inability to purchase the
amount allotted them. If they
fail. refuse or neglect to either
purchase the amount assessed
against them, or inform the COM
mittee of their inability to do 30.
and give good and valid reasons
therefor, they will be listed On
the yellow card as slackers. Do
not think that because the entire
quota has been subscribed, that
you are excused from purchasing
your required amount of bonds,
but it is your duty to subscribe
for the amount allotted you. and
then allow the committee to
equalize all the subscriptions so
that no injustice will be done by
co mpelling some to take the
amount assessed against them.
and allowing others to escape

chief who carries all our military effort at home and abroad in shis mind. He is seeing with his own eyes what we are doing on this side and his visit is a personal inspira- tion to every officer and man.
 Secretary is Satisfied
 Secretary Baker said to the cores pondent:
 "These days have been worth of my trip across the Atlantic in the in- formation and encouragement which they have given me. I have seen only the effort in two ports, only the re- ceiving depots of the great war plant which we are constructing. But l have seen enough tc convince me that when VIC have an organization which will meet the problem, with its increas- ing volume of demand, of coupling up the ports of embarkation at home with the ports of debarkation in France.
 q find that the written reports have given me an inadequate idea of the dif- faculties, which the enemy said we could not overcome and which we are overcoming. After her long and stout hearted defense, France could spare us little material or labor for our purposes. except by ill-advised diver sions from her own organizations. She could offer us land on which to raise our structures and the right of way for our communications.
 Pays Tribute to Engineers
 q should like to pay a tribute to the men who began last summer and fall to bring into being the blue prints of a great conception. which now is ad- vanced enough to yield to conviction of success to any observer and a tribute to our engineers and experts from civil life in all branches who have continued to arrive to serve with the officers of the regular engineers in command of an increasing army ol workers, all doing their part.
 They come from pioneering epo- pie and they have brought to France pioneering energy. They have turned marshes into docks, facing water ways which they will dredge. sent out g spur of railway track and built ware houses and the necessary supple mentary plants for a system whicf will dispatch along the lines of com munication to the front food, clothes guns, ammunitions and all the enor- nous amount of complicated war ma terial which the resources of oul country can supply, 70 be transported

must come from America. Any feeling of distrust or unfriendliness seems to be lacking. As a matter of fact a large section of influential men in Japan favor the American view point, while only a few chauvinists jeer at Prem- fer Terauchi and Foreign Minister Motono, as being under American in- fluence.
 Caution is Advocated
 Leading men, such as Baron Shi- busawa, president of the American Japanese association for the commer- cial section and Yukio Ozaki, leaders of the constitutional party, for the Outs" advocate extreme caution. Sim ilarly many strong supporters of the administration point out that the hour action has not yet struck. They say that first it is absolutely necessary for all of Russia and the rest of the world to understand that Japan is engaged in no chauvinsitic adventure and desire nothing more than to safeguard the far east, assist the entente allies, and if possible save Russia from German domination, which means the mailed fist in the far east.
 Chinese Problem Serious
 The Chinese problem is one of the | that this is China's great opportunity, and Japan is urging the leaders in the north and south to settle their differ ences by a sound compromise, form a capable national government at Peking and join Japan and the allies in guard ing the frontiers and helping Russia. Some indications are manifest that this effort may be successful.
 Tang Shao Vi, who has held many posts fl the chinese cabinet was form erly governor of Mukden province and is leader of the national party of China, is on his way to Japan. Baron Hashii the Japanese minister to China has returned to Picking, and it is stated that there is reason to believe that by tactful diplomacy the obstacles to the effectives cooperation between Japan and China in Siberia may be removed in time to enable both coun- tries to share in the far customers real participation in the war. Such an outcome of the present negotia- tions resulting in agreement and CO., operation between Japan and China would mean, to the minds of Japanese statesmen, an alliance of vast import ance.
 Must Trust Japanese
 bOtNOON, trlday, March l5.-COn- siderable space is devoted by the news papers to comment on the address made by Foreign Minister Arthur Bal four in the house of commons on the subject of Japanese intervention ir Siberia.
 The Chronicle says:
 MT. Balfour indicated the possibility that Japan might give promises to re. spect the territorial integrity of Rus. sia. He insisted very properly that il Japan gives such promise we mus assume she will keep it.
 The Manchester Guardian says:
 If we are to help Russia, it can onl, he in co-oepration with her govern. ment. President Wilson sees thi. clearly"
 ''Mr. Balfour disposed of all objec tions to Japanese intervention" say, the Times. "The great factor neede, is that Japanese should enter Russi; with the concurrence, not only of al the allies, but if possible with the ap proval of these elements in Russia wh, are determined to offer effective re sistance to German domination.

It is like entering a great American port except that the merchandise is all American. not for eign crate or case being found among the masses of supplies being trans shipped for the American front.
 Secretary Baker spent some time in the improvised shipyard where Ameri- cans are building lighters so that ships may be unloaded from both sides at the same time. He went into the kitchens providing the food for men, mostly colored, belonging to stevedore regiments. The members of the party agreed that the meat stews and bread were much better than could be ob- tained in Paris. The only complaint of the day was from a colored pri- vate.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 16-Mrs. Margaret A. Hirsch was convicted by a jury in superior court today of an attempt to exort $5OO,0O0 from Mayor Asa c. Candler by blackmail and was given the maximum sentence in Geor- gia for a misdemeanor--a year in pris- on and fine of s1.000. J. w. Cook indicted jointly with her, and tried two weeks ago, also received the maximum sentence, but instead of the prison term, he was given a year and day on the chain gang at hard labor.
 When Judge Hill pronounced sen- tence, Mrs. Hirsch, who had remained seated, looked up and said:
 q haven't a word to say" Her coun- sel, however immediately announced that a motion for appeal would be made later. and Judge Hill fixed the bond at $4,O00. Mrs. Hirsch was un- able to furnish bail and was returned 10 jail.
 Conviction is Quick
 The jury was out 26 minutes. While the jury deliberated, Mrs. Hirsch ap- pdTently was continent, anu even Wnei the adverse report was made, she took the result with greater calm than she had shown at any time during the trial, and in marked contrast of her demeanor when counsel was arguing the case. Then she sat with her head bowed in her arms and wept bitterly when denounced by counsed for the state.
 Mrs. Hirsch and Cook were indfcted last February IA for the attempted blackmail of the mayor after the latter had gone before a special grand jury and related the details of what was alleged to have occurred in his private office February 6 yhen Mrs. Hirscf called on him, and Cook later appeared at the office door. Later. the mayol alleged, the man and woman had un' dertaken to eXort money from him.

 Gentlemen:
 Complying with your request for statement of the number of laborers that will be required during the pres ent season in the cotton industry of the Salt River valley, Florence, Casa Grande and Yuma districts, we re- spectfully submit the following esti- mate, which we believe to be en- tirely conservative. As has been stated verbally to you, we think that from the very mature of things it will be impossible to pass through the ports of entry the number of people shown in this estimate for some of the months in question, un- less additional help is provided to those in charge of these ports.

INCREASE |SASKED
BY ST. ELIZABETH
Larger Appropriation Needs
Based on Army Demands
and Per Capita Cost.

Increased number of patients from
necessitate for the fiscal year to end
June 80, 1920, an appropriation of
S1.314.000, an increase of $263,800
over this year, Supt. William A. White
of st. Elizabeth Hospital declares in
his annual report made public today.
There were admitted during the year
1854 patients, the largest number re-
ceived in one year in the history of
the institution.
While the average number of pa
tients during the year was $3.50, the
institution began the fiscal year
which will end June 80. 1919, with
1915 patients-forty-fv more than
the daily average of the past year.
Difficult to Estimate.
'Under ordinary circumstances"
Supt. White says, 1--WE believe it would
be safe to figure on daily average of
1000 patients for next year.. OF
these we expect 100 from the Dis
trict and 1900 from other sources;
but these are extraordinary times, and
there is no safe method in estimating
for next year the number that this
institution must care for.
The Increased number of patients
from the Army of the United States,
with a gross total of more than
100000 men, would undoubtedly be
more than 1000 patients. Adding to
the men from the Army those from
the Navy, from the marines, from
public health service, criminals and
other sources, you can see how very
low it is when we place the average
daily number of patients at 4,000."
Increase Per Capita.
The institution must have an in
creased allowance for the cost per
capita, DR.. White adds. on account of
the increased cost of all classes of
supplies and of labor. The cost per
capita during the past year was ap-
proXimately So cents. The superin-
tendent does not believe that the in
stitution can get along with less than
10 per cent increase or 80 cents day
during the next year. This would be
a very conservative and low amount"
he declares. The 1876 patients in the
hospital June 80, 1918, were ISL pa
tients more than on the correspond
ing date the preceding year.

recommendation is mxde in the report

It is pointed out that the function
of the board is almost as important

the commerce of the nation. With an
organization fully equipped for serv-
ice and shipyards established with all
the necessary means of production,
the corporation, it is contended, is in a
