ID RECOGNIZE THE |. U.S.A 4. GENERAL STAFF

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Definite plans for reorganization of the war department and the general staff, em- bodying the experience gained during the war, soon will be ready for pre- sentation to congress. The project will not increase, however, any proposal of a general military policy for the coun- try, as that question will be held ir abeyance until after the peace con ference at Paris.
 General staff officers are giving at tention now to the preparation of a bill for the permanent reorganization of the staff itself. It is understood that strong resolutions soon will be laid before Secretary Baker, for the abolishing of the old bureau system, and for the centraliZinz of both author ity and responsibility for the entire military establishment in the general staff.
 Instructions for the preparation of such plans were issued by General March, when the armistice with Ger many was signed. During the war the emergency authority of the Overman bill had proved sufficient to enable General March to erect the staff ma chinery as it now stands.
 Secretary Bakers approval or an et- fort to write into law staff bill which will perfect and perpetuste the central control General March has created is generally expected.
 While the reorganization of the army itself will be deferred until the outcome of the Paris conference is known, many aspects of the subject are being studied by general staff of ficers. The staff already has asserted it's very unanimous adherence to the universal training idea Should the peace conference arrive at a decision which would sharply limit military es- tablishments, however, officers say it might easily be that universal training machinery would be entirely too cum bersome for the size of the army tha United States was to maintain.

Local Produce Market

A great many Phoenix people have been sending boxes of tangerines, oranges and grapefruit to friends and relatives in the east for Christmas during the past week. Many have come to the belief that there is nothing that is more enjoyed by an customer than a sample of what Arizona can produce in the line of citrus fruits.
 Vegetables are plenteous on the local producemarket Many cars each week of fruits and vegetables not grown in the valley are arriving. Apples are now very fine. Many cars are arriv- ing daily. Yesterday a car of extra fancy Washington Wagners and a CT of extra fancy Baldwins arrived.
 For the Christmas table the local wholesalers are importing many deli cacies. One pound packages of Diam ond brand, California soft shell wal nuts are one of the novelties this year. Quart cans of pure, sweet apple cider is another. Many shipments of pop corn to make the evenings happy ones for the children are being re- ceived.

FINANCE AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased WireI


 NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Operations in the stock market today consistently followed the lines of least resistance, average prices and the volume of trad ing declining almost to lowest levels of the week.
 Almost 50 per cent of the nominal turnover during the early and interme- diate stages of the session was repre- sented by half a dozen issues, all of the more speculative variety.
 Price changes until the final hour were rather mixed, with a preponder- ance of losses, but the entire list broke sharply toward the end, coppers re- flecting especial weakness on reports of a cut in the metal to 19 cents.
 Investment rails, which were in clined to improve after a listless fore noon, reversed their course with ship pings, oils, motors and fertilizers, though rallying slightly at the close.
 Utilities, notably local fractions, in which weakness spread to bonds, were under constant pressure, probably as result of recent unfavorable statements of earnings. Total sales amounted to 5000 shares.
 Call money was offered as low as IF per cent but per cent was the ruling rate, with a minimum of time funds.
 Bonds were irregular, foreign issues easing slightly and Liberty bonds steadyin gafter early declines. Total sales (par value) aggregated S9,400, 900. Old United States bonds were un changed on call.

INTERCEPTED AERO MESSAGE DISCLOSED
 s10,000,000 SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Secretary Daniels, appearing before the house merchant marine committee today, in behalf of the administration bill for permanent government control Of all radio communication through acquisi- ton, by the navy department of all shore wireless stations, said:
 q hope the bill will not be con- founded with a proposition for general government ownership of public utill- ties. Radio communication stands aparl because the air cannot be controlled, and the safe thing is that only one con- cern should control and own it"
 Opposition to the measure was voiced b. Representatives Greene of Massa- chusetts and Edmonds of Pennsylvania, republicans. on the ground that It was part of a government ownership policy.
 Expenditure of s5,000,000 will be necessary, MT. Daniels said, to buy all stations and equipment, not now owned by the government
 Tt was good business policy for either war or peace" declared Secre- tary Daniels referring to the purchases already made.
 Marconi Will Oppose
 Commander Hooper of the radioidi- vision of the navy explained that the Marconi property was bought at the re- quest oft he shipping board. He said the Marconi company would oppose the bill because of its desire to retain its high power stations.
 Secretary Daniels told of some of the benefits of radio control in the war. He said that the alien property custodian, through one intercepted message, ob- tained the information that led to tn.
 @f owned ships, and that another message proved the enemy ownership of the Sayville station. Germany. he said, ai- so prepared to cut the cables between Europe and America, and arrange ments were made for the radio taking over all the work of the cables.
 All Senders Synthetic
 An arrangement whereby all sending keys for the high power stations at An napelis, Sayville, Tuckerton and Bruns- wick, Georgia, are operated from one Hpom in the navy department, per fected during the war and guarded heretofore as a military secret, was ex- plained by Lieutenant J. c. Cooper of the radio division. Receiving stations at Belmar, New Jersey, and Bar liar bor, Maine. are so equipped, he also disclosed, that several messages may As received simultaneously.
 Secretary Daniels also told the com nittee that the recent purchase of shore radio stations had increased the number of naval shore stations from 5S to III. The navy department, he said, now owns all of the radio stations in the United States and it's posses sions, formerly used for commercial traffic, with the exception of 16 pri- vately owned stations.
