TOO MUCH SHIPPING.

There has been too much of what
Lloyd George calls shipping" espe-
cially in the hall of Congress. There
| has been too much petty criticism, too
much derogation of pubic officials,
too much tendency to exaggerate the
natural errors and too little dispo-
sition to appreciably appraise the
achievements. There has been too
much playing of personal politics.
Reckless criticism of responsible Of
ficials must hinder the progress of any
undertaking. The work in which we
are now engaged calls for the best
there is in us, demands our loyal sup
port and cooperation, and anything
short of that, whether unwillingness to
follow the guidance of our leaders or
unjust structures upon their manage
ment of the war, not only savors Of
dis1oyalty but tends to give aid and
comfort to the enemy
"a house divided against itself can
not stand" Where there phould have
been a united country behind our
president, with every man in his place
and ready to do his best, we have seen
men who should have been leaders
holding back and finding fault because
things were not being done in the way
they would have wished.
That things are not done according
to our particular method is not suffi-
cient reason for fault-fnding. Our
way may be best adapted to our own
peculiar psychology or temperament
and work out well under our direction,
while under the direction of another
failure might result. No two men
think or work exactly alike.
Much has been done and much more
is in process of accomplishment but it
is not being done by those who spend
their time in useless debate or in
criticism of officials. The conduct of
the war is in the hands of the men
elected to represent us, and until they
shall have proved themselves incom-
petent or disloyal they are entitled tol
our support,
That mistakes have been made none
will deny 1t would have been miracu-
lous had so complete a change from
peace pursuits to the placing of the
country upon SO vast war basis been
free from errors. But of what avail
to be continually calling attention tot
them? Let us think forward, not
backward, and remember mistakes
only that we may profit by them.
Let us forget that there are Demo
Gratis, Republicans, Prohibitionists or
SOCIALISTS, and all work together for
the crushing of the spirit of Prussian-
ism that threatens the liberty of the
world. There will be ample time after
this shall have been accomplished for
the settlement of our own political or,
private differences. ''If you can't
push, pull; if you can't pull, please
geat out of the way"

ASSOCIATED PRESS
 DOING MARVELLOUS WORK IN NEWS WAY

NEW YORK, April 26.-The report of the board of directors of the Asso- ciated Press this year is considered of such unusual interest as to warrant publication. It refers among other things to the experiences of some Asso- ciated Press men in the foreign service, and in making this part public the board authorized the insertion in pa- renthesis of the name of the man con- cerned.-
 The report follows:
 To the Members of the Associated Press:
 In earlier reports we have endeav- ored to summarize briefly the most im- portant news events of the year. We make no such attempt this year. There have been months during which more epoch making news has developed than during some previous years, and all newspaper men must wonder whether we shall ever return to former stand ards of news values. Nor do we en- large in this report upon the news gathering achievements of the organ ization. With those achievements have come many inevitable disappointments Overtaxed cables, muddled censorship and similar exigencies of war often have upset our plans and frequently neutralized the resourcefulness of our starr. Yet we have incomparably the most comprehensive machinery for collecting and distributing news that the world has ever known.
 All in the Days Work
 Of our men abroad, we gratefully acknowledge our appreciation. Tor pedoes and mines at sea and shot and shell on land have held no fears for them. Their escapes amid danger have been countless. One Crank NJ. Amer lea) was knocked down by a Zeppelin bomb in London, but worked all that night as usual-merely an incident of the days work in an office building which has itself been hit by such shells; another (Robert T. SmalD fell into the icy Somme, but rode 35 miles to cable the story of the first American action; another (Charles T. Thompson) was on the highest rampant of the castle of Gorizia when shell buried It and him under earth, but on that afternoon he wrote a story which thrilled the press of Europe as well as of the United States; another (Walter Whiffen) was shot in the knee on a Russian observation post; another (Charles s. Smith), after bayonet and list encounter at Harbin, escaped with painful decorations: another Games Hickey) was blown through glass door by the Halifax explosion, but before dressing his wounds was re- sourceful enough to find demolished building the terminus of the cable to the West Indies and sent by way of Bermuda and Havana to New York the first direct messages out of Halifax. Such incidents are not unusual in the service of your organization.
 Standard of Accuracy
 Through the years the Associated Press has, by maintaining it's standards of accurate reporting, preserved the best traditions of journalism. The good name of the Associated Press has not been impaired. The public confidence in our dispatches has steadily grown. until millions of readers now hesitate to give credence to many published reports until assured that they were carried by our association. The sen-

notified that he has been appointed custodian of the Liberty Loan Honor Roll and the Liberty Loan Honor Flags for Arizona. The appointment came from George K. Weeks, general cam paign manager for the Liberty loan general executive board for the third Liberty loan campaign.
 MT. Ladd was notified yesterday by MT. Weeks that, Of date of April l5, the towns in Arizona to which honor flags had been awarded are Kingman, Casa Grande, Oatman, Flor ence, Ray and Superior. It was stated that, from time to time, the treasury department would forward the names of other Arizona cities and towns in the order in which they ''go over the top in the third Liberty loan. These towns will be added to the honor roll and will be awarded honor flags by MT Ladd to whom they will be sent by the treasury department.
 The honor roll, which at present is at the right Of tha main entrance ot
Arizona republican., 1918-04-27

the state house, is to have a better holder, MT. Ladd stated. A wooden case with glass front is to be provided.
 The honor roll is a handsome piece of work. It was designed in the of lice of the commission of state institu- uons and consists of roll surmounted by an eagle with spreading wings. Liberty bells being in each corner and cannon underneath the eagle. Credit TOT the design of the honor roll is due A. J. Clifford, chief draughtsman in the office of the commission.

the side of the bed. He had only
to bend and place his hand in the
pocket which the cast filled awk-
wardly. The wind alone, he saw,
wasn't responsible for the shaking
of the candle. His hand shook as
the shadows shook. The sense of
Loneliness grew upon him nutil he I'M
derstood that loneliness can possess
a ponderable quality. 1t was, he felt
potent and active in the room-a
thing he couldn't understand, or
challenge, or overcome.
His hand frightened. He thought
of Katherine guarding the corridor;
of Paredes and Doctor Groom. held
downstairs by Graham; of the coun-
ty authorities hurrying to seize the
evidence that would convict him;
and he realized that his duty and his
excuse was clear. He understood
that just now he had been captured
by a force undefnable in terms of
the world he knew. Fora moment
he eluded the stealthy fleshless
hands of its impalpable skirmishers,
He reached impulsively out to the
dead man. He was about to place
his fingers in the pocket. which,
after all was said and done, held his
life.
In the light of the candle the
face seemed alive and more menac-
ing than it had ever done in life.
About the straight smile was wild
err, more triumphant quality.
The candle flickered sharply. 1t
expired. The conquering blackness
took his breath.
He told himself it was the draft
from the window which was strong,
but the companionship of the night
was closer and more numerous. The
darkness wreathed itself into mock
ing and tortuous bodies whose
faces were hidden.
In an agony of revolt against these
incorporeai, these fanciful horrors
he reached in the pocket.
He sprang back with a choked. in
audible cry, for the dead thing be-
meath his hand was stirring. The
dead, cold thing with languid and
impossible rebuke, moved beneath
his touch. And the pocket he had
felt was empty. The coat, NOM
ent ago bullying and awkward. was
flat. There sprang to his mind the
mad thought of the detective, malev-
client in life, had long after death
snatched from his hand the evidence
carefully gathered, on which every
thing for him depended.

NO BRUTALITY IS

U. S. PRISONERS
General Pershing Says Food
tSCanty, but Germans Are
Not Impartial to the
Americans

Washington, Dec. 2.-American
prisoners returning from German
prison camps complain of scanty
food and bad housing conditions,
General Pershing has informed the
War department, but there is no
evidence OF discrimination against
Americans nor any authenticated re-
port OF brutality toward them.
The War department today is
sued the following statement based
on a cable from General Pershing,
dated November % and sent in reply
to an inquiry cabled by General
March:
american prisoners released
from German prison camps complain
Of Door and scanty food and bad
housing conditions. Only a small
percentage of those who are sick are
hospital cases. The majority are
suffering from slight colds and the
prospect is that al! will recover
rapidly with proper food and hous-
ing. There is no evidence of dis
elimination against the American
prisoners.
Among 1000 prisoners of all ma
iionalities who have been released
there is no authenticated instance OF
brutality against the Americans.
THE majority of the American
prisoners state that the German SOL
diers also suffered food privations
but that in cases where the supply
OF food was insufficient, food for the
prisoners was cut off before that for
the German soldiers"
