There are not only slackers and German sympathizers in no small number in the Warren district at this time, but there are German propagandists Does this surprise you? Well, it is true Liberty bond work CTS have found them and they are being indexed and identified for fur ther consideration. The latest blow at the fourth loan is the spreading of the story that the effort to raise our quota here is going to be abandoned. Think of that and our workers, men and women, striving with might and main to get Bis bee over the top at the first possible hour. Tuesday of this week sixty-nine thousand dollars worth of bonds passed through the Bank of Bisbee alone. This day results in this single bank nails the German-born lie. Chairman Gaines also declared yesterday that some of the women workers are being met with curt and even rude rebuffs and ill., considered and indifferent excuses for refus- ing to buy bonds. Chairman Gaines has the name of every one of these persons. Politeness and courtesy are due every bond seller in this district, and should be accord ed as a matter of common decency, if not patriotism These men and women are working for their country, not themselves, and any boor who lacks in courtesy to them will soon regret 1t.

"A HELL OF A TIME TO STRIKE!'
CFrom the Salt Lake Telegraph

(From the Salt Lake Telegraph
 This IS a hell of time to strike in Amer ica
 These are the words of an American sol dier in France, who has just received the Croix de Guerre and a silver star for risk ing his life to save that of a wounded French officer, when told of labor troubles in cer- tain mills and factories in the United States.
 When this man, who is jeopardizing life and limb twenty-four hours day and seven days week for little more than dollar a day in money, says This Is hell of time to strike, he expresses the indigna- ton which every man in the United States army, navy or marines feels at the idea of halting the war for higher wages.
 Yet it Is evident, both in this country and England, that there is a certain labor ele- ment that thinks it is hell of good time to strike" Clearly one of these views is the selfish and unpatriotic view and the other is the unselfish and patriotic view. It does not take long to determine which is which

Getting right down to cold cases, the Germans held US pretty well everywhere along the fighting lines Wednesday and Thursday in the face of strong attacks
 The German staff, in spite of appalling losses, Is still able to find brave and skill ful men by the thousand who will inter vene between the allies and their beaten armies with machine guns and fight to the death. As long as these men can be found the advance will be slow As long as there are German regiments who will counter attack with ferocity and determination in the face of fate and fearful gunfire the al- lied advance will be delayed This is neces- sity of modern war, made so by the machine gun. But the allied artillery and tanks and airplanes and dash and daring have about taken the measure os the German machine gun and pill box and dugout and tunnel and concrete emplacement Held now, for a day or two, the allies will move on as surely as the morning light But the end is not near, as yet. As long as the German hghts ike he has been fighting the past two weeks, victory will remain long ways off. If Foch drives the invaders back to the Mouse line this year he will have done all that is now hoped for Not until next summer, with the American army of front line fighters three million strong will FOch be able to follow up the threat of disaster

Then. all alone, he dashed across it. although there were probably a dozen machine guns pointed at him from the other bank and jumped into a hole in the ground where three Ger man pioneers were waiting the order to throw the switch and blow up the bridge with demolition charges. The corporal bayOneted two of the men and accepted the surrender of the third. who offered to show him where the charges were. The corporal cut the wires leading to the explosive under the bridge and the bridge was of immense value to his comrades immediately afterward.
 The Enghshmen bagged nearly a thousand prisoners at one place during this engagement.
 How They Took the Tunnel
 After the Englishmen had croseso the canal one party was sent to one end of the BellengHse tunnel and an other to the other end There wer- signs immediately that the tunnel was full of men. Therefore, a captured German howitzer was brought up to enc end of the tunnels mouth and a shot was sent screaming through 1t.

THE UNIVERSITY
CFrom the Douglas International)

CFrom the Douglas Inernational)
 Through the leadership of Dr. von Klein Smid, president of the University of Ari- zona, this institution is fast becoming the leading educational unit in the entire south west. The fall term which has just opened, in spite of every deterrent factor, is the greatest in its history.
 Many ups and downs have been experi- enced by the University of Arizona. There was time when it was literally, the football of every legislature and of every politician. Now that it has been established on a solid foundation, the politician and the leg islator regard it as one of the few state insti- tutions which must be considered apart from the party pie counter.
 Under the leadership of von KleinSmid we have seen the University grow tremend- ously. We have seen the attendance mount steadily and the influence of the institution increase proportionately. No longer is the University of Arizona regarded as a little school It is one of the biggest things in the great big west.

It is estimated that the allies captured eighty thousand prisoners in the seven days from Tuesday of last week to Tuesday of this week. This means that since July Is the allies have taken about quarter of million prisoners, more than twice as many in less than three months than were taken in the three years previously. German losses in men, guns and military stores since Foch struck last July have been tremendous. No army, no matter how large or well pro- vided for, can stand such losses without its efficiency being sadly impaired.

Proposals to warn Germany that her system of burning and dynamiting all French and Belgain towns. and cities she is compelled to evacuate will meet with re- prisals with the Rhine cities paying the price, are meeting with the strong approvals of the allied peoples It is the only way to reach the Prussian and make him under stand. This work of detailed ruin, pillage and destruction has been going on on a small scale ever since the beginning of the war, but in the next few weeks 1t may well reach a large scale, for a general retreat faces the invaders Now IS the time to give fair warning to the Hun. And stern and terrible as Is this decision it is also just It is the only way to save scores of the fairest and most historic cities of France and Belgium And, this warning once proclaimed to the world, history will place the blame for a ravaged Rhine upon Berlin where it belongs.

The allies know pretty we'll of the condition of the German army, but of conditions behind the lines they can only guess or judge by hearsay. These latter may break any day, or they may hold to the end with the army; one guess is as good as another here.

It is reported that the Turkish cabinet has decided to stand by the German alliance. Naturally, with Constantinople policed by Germans and the turkish armies command ed and dominated by Germans, the poor Turk elects to stay with his bad bargain. His far eastern armies have been destroyed and soon the allies will threaten from AlePpo, the back door of Turkey proper. His com munications with Germany are cut and his military end is near And how like the Turk it Is to select this time to stand pat with only two torn deuces in his hand.
