CASE POSTPONED,

Superintendent Milton Sutherland
Of the Empire Arizona Consolidated
Copper company went to Prescott
Tuesday as a witness in the suit
brought by F. M. Shaw, a former en-
ploye, against the company. The
suit was instituted by Shaw several
months ago and is for the recovery
OF $295, the amount of check is
sued by the Empire company in the
plaintiffs favor on the defunct Com
mercial Bank of Parker. The check
was issued about three weeks prior
to the failure of the bank, and it is
alleged by the defendant company
that Shaw presented the same to the
bank before it failed and refused to
accept payment when the cashier ten
dered the total amount in small cur
rency. Shaw wanted bills of larger
denomination, which the bank at the
time did not have on hand. Owing
to the illness of the court stenograph-
er the case was postponed to a later
date

ago. Each official report shows that
this sector is valueless from a mill
tary standpoint and that the Ger
mans have paid a terrible price for
their advance to the lines establish
ed by the allies during the first two
years of warfare. 1t is officially re-
ported that seventy German divisions
or $4,000 men have taken part in
the fighting and that troops have
been moved from every part Of the
western battle front to reinforce the
armies which have been forcing the
British to fall back.
Observers at the front say that the
German losses have been frightful,
and that the enemy has lost from 10
to 20 per cent of his men, by the most
conservative estimates.

THREE BILLIONS
IS LIBERTY LOAN

The third Liberty loan, to open
April 6, will be for $4,000 ,0O0
and all ver-subscriptions at "A per
cent interest.
Bonds of the first loan, bearing
31a per cent interest, and of the sec
ond loan at 4 per cent, may be con
verted into the new bonds, but those
of the third loan will not be convert
ible into any future issues. This an
nouncement was made this week by
Secretary McAdoo with the comment
that "the great events now happen
ing in France must fire the soul of
every American with a new deter
nination TO furnish all the dollars
and all the material resources of Am
erica that are needed to put an end
militarism''
In connection with the loan, the
secretary plans to establish sink
ing fund with which to purchase
back any bonds of the third loan
thrown upon the market, in order
to aid in keeping the price up to par.
The majority of the bonds is yet to
be determined, but it was officially
stated they would be long term, prob
ably between twenty and thirty years.
Other features, which will be set
tied as soon as congress passes the
necessary authorizing legislation are
the length of the campaign and the
terms of payments on the bonds.
Most financial observers, accord
ing to press dispatches, were surpris-
ed at the comparatively small size of
the loan and at the interest rate, both
of which they had expected to be
higher. Reduction of government
expenditures and allied loans below
the former estimate is responsible
for the loans size, Secretary McAdOo
explained.
He said the bonds were made nom
convertible to put an end to expecta-
tiOns of higher interest rates in the
future, indicating his purpose to
maintain the Az rate for future
loans.

GERMAN DRIVE
IS SLOWING Up

After a week Of terrific fighting
the German offensive in France is
beginning to show signs of losing it's
momentum. The progress of the enc
my, according to latest press dis
patches has materially slackened,
and the form of the dent made in the
allied line west of Cambria has be-
gun to resemble the familiar wedge
like salient instead of the broad
straight forward movement of an Of
fenive which carries all before it.
At it's apex this wedge has gone
beyond Albert, to the south of that
place, and is to the westward of the
old allied line as it stood a year ago
when Won Hindenberg began his
strategic retreat" From this point
the line runs off to the northeast at
gentle angle, with the line to the
south running back until it reaches
the Disc river.
In spite of tremendous exertions
and terrible losses, the German eff
forts to widen the tip of this salient
have been defeated. The British
lines have stood firm to the north and
have forced the Germans to turn
resistance.
Official statements issued at Lon
don confirm the report from Berlin
that American forces are engaged in
the struggle. They are reported as
fighting shoulder to shoulder" with
the French and British in the region
of ROye, on the south side of the sail
ent driven into the allied front. There
has been no official report sent to
Washington as to the identity of
these troops who are taking part in
this greatest battle in history.
With the slackening of the German
pace there are indications that the
allies are ready to strike back some
where along the front. Just where
this blow will be launched will not
be known until it is struck, out it
may be expected that it's impact will
be terrific. 1t is known that. the al
lied war council at Versailles created
a great strategic reserve of men to
be used in just the contingency which
COnfrOnts the armies which have
borne the brunt of the fighting since
last week. This force probably will
be launched when and where it is be-
lieved it will break the force of the
German onslaught and send the enc
my reeling back over the desert from
which the British have slowly with
drawn.
Each succeeding day reveals the
plan of the Germans absolutely to
crush the allied lines west of Cam
brai, a terrain which could not be de-
Tended by Won Hindengurb a year
