WAR MEASURES
 F0R SESSION
 ARE SUGGESTED

Suggesting that Governor Hunt in- clude in his call for an extra session of the state legislature the matter of declaring a moratorium, extending and protecting the civil rights of the soldiers of Arizona now serving the colors outside of the state and in suspending payments due from them to the state for public lands and which they might hold, and suggesting other matters, Wiley E. Jones, attor- ney general, sent a communication yesterday to the governor.

 Governor of Arizona. Dear Governor:
 Flowing information that you will call the legislature into extraordinary session at an early date on account of exigencies arising out of the present world war. I beg permission to make these suggestions:
 l apprehend that your call will open the way for the ratification of the prohibition amendment and the
 
 national constitution, as well as legis- lation upon the subject of the Arizona men in the military and naval service of the United States being permitted to vote during the war while without the state.
 I would suggest further that you permit legislation by your call to be enacted in the matter of a moratorium extending their civil rights and pro- tecting them in the same, covering the matter of taxation and the suspension of civil action against them, and all other necessary measures relating thereto, that they may thus be en- couraged, without the worry of home affairs, to devote their whole en- ergies to the cause they are now serving.
 Also that it include the suspension during their service of the payments due to the state for any public state lands which they now hold. Also a relief measure for dependents of our Arizona men now in military or naval service of the country. Also measure permitting the necessary expenses of a state coun- cil of defense to be met by monies from the state or county treasuries, as such measure may provide Ishall take pleasure in the prepara- tion of an ymeasure above mentioned or any others embraced within your call.
 Very respectfully. WILEY E. JONES,
 Attorney General.

COUNTY CALLED LIN TO DO MORE
 IN BOND CAUSE

During this week three times as much money must be secured as Was secured the first week. This IS the order of the officials of the TWeltth | districtr Liberty bond purchases must total a great sum. if Arizona IS to assume the same position it has heId in previous campaigns.
 Oregon is making wonderful showing. Out of 37 counties in that state, 19 have completed their allot- ments. These counties are now start ing out to treble the sum asked for. The additional subscriptions are nec- assary, as the sum total of the loan has been increased to a total of i've billions of dollars, instead of the two billions allowed by congress.
 More Money is Necessary
 Changes in the plan of the war de- partment have made more money necessary. More men must move to France at once. The wealth of the United States is estimated at two hundred and fifty billions of dollars and this enormous sum is growing each year by the addition of twenty | five billions more.
 Bonds buy bullets, bread and bay onets, and fit the men to carry on the war in France-and keep 1t there. The people of the Salt River valley are asked to raise three or four mil lions of dollars in order that the total | asked may be reached and the United States treasury may have the dollars necessary for the proper equipment of its army and navy. The valuation of property in this county is over Eighty millions of dollars. This is a low figure. The annual crop revenue from this county is over twenty mil lions. In order that we may continue to have this enormous total come to us each year, it is our DUTY and it should be our pleasure to give willingly without hesitation, with both hands. the allotment fixed by the federal officials in San Francisco
 Neighborhood Loan Meetings
 Liberty loan meetings are being held in different neghborhoods throughout the county, the object being to arouse interest and to in still in the minds of all. that they are giving nothing but are making one of the best of investments when they purchase Liberty bonds
 In this connection, Secretary Me Adoo, in recent address said
 Tt is one of the great objects of the treasury department to have these bonds held as permanent investments by the people and paid for out of savings, thus at once providing funds for the government and conserving labor and material. There are the soundest reasons for holding Liberty bonds. Their quotations under par on the stock exchange shows means a loss only to those who sell. The financial history of the United States | i-fr ( k1o. z ,1l bonds have gone above par, some as high as 1S9.
 The tremendous growth of our resources and of our trade-our do- nestle trade alone having increased from $50, 1000, ,000,00 in the last four years to s64,000,0O0,0OO, warrants the belief that our government bonds are the soundest investments in the world and with the restoration of peace con- ditions, will command a handsome premium in the market"

OFF RUSS AFFAIRS
IshTi May Ask United States to
Apply Chinese Agreement.

Japanese officials are careful here
to insist that Japan will not interfere
in strictly Russian affairs. They de-
clare that II Japan does land troops
in Siberia it will be purely to pro-
tect her own interests. 1t is admit
ted that those interests may be de-
scrbed generally as the maintenance
OF order in the Orient.
Though the State Department re-
fuses official comment on the possi-
BILE action OF the japanese against

the Far East or as the allies Of Ger
many. officials yesterday recalled
Lansing-Ishii agreement with re-
gard to China might well be applied
by Japan to the Siberian situation
cept such a view.
1t was considered significant in
this respect that Viscount Ishii, the
man who negotiated the agreement
with regard to China, Is now on his
way to Washington to succeed
Sato as Japanese Ambassa-
dor here. AS the famous exchange
of notes between Secretary Lansing
and Viscount Ishii recognized that
neighboring countries have a spe-
cial interest in each other. it Is con-
sidered that the United States may
be asked by Viscount Ishii to ex-
tend the recognition of this princi-
pie to Siberia as well as to China

At dawn the Americans were near
Trenton, but the Germans didn't know
II. They had gone to bed late after
their night Of merrymaking and were
sound asleep when their sentries came
flying back into Trenton with the news
that the American drive was on.
Knox and Hamilton wheeled their
cannon into position and poured a
heavy fire into the ranks of the dazed
Germans pouring out to meet the
Americans. Washington's sharpshcot-
ers stormed the houses and picked CT
the officers from windows, doors and
crevices. Col. Rell fell, mortally
wounded, his regiment broke and fled.
Just one company of Germans escaped,
getting across the bridge IF Assanpink

route of escape and threw his soldiers
across the path.

their guns upon the ground. their offi-

That victorious drive, coming as II
did at one OF the darkest moments Of
American history, when soldiers were

many Of the people had given up hope
for American independence. and when
Congress itself was lost in bitter quar-
rels, cemented the colonies more firm

PETTY GRAFT CHARGE
In FARM LOANS

Stories of petty graft among the
local organizations OF the Federal
Farm Loan Board led Representa-
tive Glass. of Virginia, representing
the administration, to introduce bills
yesterday placing such conduct under
the criminal statutes.
Members Of local boards. the sto-
ries go, have eXacted such tribute
as prize hogs from their neighbors
for approving applications for loans.
Glass said 1t was fear of a great
scandal. rather than really serious Of
fenses. which caused his action. Un-
der his bills, acceptance of any IA
vor or thing of value in return for
approving a loan is made a crime
punishable by fine and Federal i'm
prisonment

1t was on Christmas, I776, that Gen.
George Washington began his drive
against the Germans entrenched at
Trenton, N. ].
The password that Washington gave
his men was:
VICTORY OR DEATH!'
For many long and cold and hungry
weeks the Americans had been wait
ing in Pennsylvania. where the frozen
ground was streaked with blood from
their unshod feet, and where a potato
and a few kernels of corn often was
all that stood between the American
soldier and starvation.
The Germans were enjoying them
selves at Trenton. secure in the be-
lief that the half-starved, poorly drill
ed Americans would not dare attack
them. well armed. highly trained and
vastly experienced in war. Col. Rail
did not disguise his contempt Of the
Americans. In Trenton II was proudly
boasted that the Germans would wait
and make a great drive on what was
left Of the Americans In the spring.
Col Rail expected by that time WASH
iEgton's troops would have been put
out OF fighting shape by the rigors
Of winter and poor provisioning.
Then 1t was that Washington plan
ned his Christmas offensive. By a
fine bit of military strategy he had
thinned out the line OF the enemy,
and he had the Germans alone in
Trenton.
That Christmas night Col. Rail gave
a merry party. Song and dance, pret-
ty women and wine enlivened things.
The privates took the cue from their
officers and all Trenton was a scene
OF revelry.
But it was different west OF the Della
ware, the Americans were assembled,
each man carrying a rifle. a blanket.
three days rations, and forty pounds
Of ammunition.
With "Victory or DEATH" in every
American heart they set out. For nine
hours the little army. led by Wash
ington himself, marched through the
bitter cold. When they arrived at
the Delaware they found 1t almost
frozen over. A wild storm of sleet and
hail made progress extremely slow
and dangerous. But is was for "Vic-
tory or Death"' and they kept on.
Fishermen handled the oars. and
boat by boat the Americans went over.
1t was 4 in the morning before the
last of washington's soldiers had
crossed. Two other expeditions failed
to reach the river. but Washington
pushed on alone. Wrapping their guns
in blankets to protect them from the
sleet. the Americans pushed on

SENATE GETS ALIEN
STACKER TREATIES
Affect Drafting in United States,
Canada and England.

The "Alien Stacker" treaties were
last night reported to the Senate
in executive session. They will be
referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee.
These are the treaties which allow
Canadian, British and sAmerican
slackers to be gathered up in the
three lands.
Representative Mason. of Illinois,
declared in the House that England
and the United States lacked the
power to arrange a draft treaty.
Since the United States has no
power to draft men resident in Great
Britain, 1t has no authority to grant
such power to any other government,
he said. A similar line of reason
ing, he declared, would prevent the
United States drafting any foreigner
resident in this country who should
claim exemption on grounds of allen
age
