BEWARE THE DRIVE
FOR A GERMAN PEACE

Let no one deceive himself by the
thought that German propaganda in
American is dead, and that the dan
ger of it no longer menances. The
moment the Allies show serious in
clination to discuss terms, the great
drive for the peace that Germany
wants will begin.
All the power of the slackers, the
pro-Germans, the pacifists. the an
archists, spies and traitors will be
concentrated upon the Cabinet, the
President and Congress to "let-us-
have-peace-and-friendship," and get
back-to-business." There will be dole
full wailing about the cost of the war
the wickedness of hate toward Ger
many, the demonstrations ality" of
boycotting Germany, and the upset
of business.
At that time a million blatant an
archists like Nearing, Or" Magnes
and Shiplacoff will yell for peace at
any price; and no matter what Ger
many's terms are they will swear
that they are fair and liberal. and
should be accepted.
| At that time, the string of 10 Hearst
newspapers will get tremendous
ly busy. Already (September q. 1917
the New York American has printed
4 very clear forecast Of its editorial
spirit and intentions in the following
significant language. Mark it we'll:
"When Germany shows clear
willingness to abandon these iniqui-
tous designs, to assume her former
position as an equal among equals,
and to provide sufficient gurantees
against any future attack upon the
freedom of the world, then the Unit
ed States will consider that the de-
feat of Germany's war lords has been
accomplished, to procure which de-
feat America drew her sword; and
that having achieved its purpose, the
United States will willingly negotia-
te peace, and will resume friendly
relations with Germany, and will ex-
spoiiation Of Germany BY other ma
tons"
Nov, in the fapid-fire language of
the street can you beat itl II the hand
that wrote the above was not the
hand of a dyed-in -the-wool pro-Ger-
man ally of the Kaiser. then in the
name of common sense what was il !
And what, we ask. are we to expect
from the American. and all the other
nine Hearst newspapers when the
great peace drive begins for a peace
such as Germany wants, and now Is
demandingf
BEWAREi
When the peace drive comes in the
interest of the bloody Huns, every
member of the American Guardian
Society should take time to make
his influence felt. Write to your
newspapers. your Congressman and
your President, in no uncertain terms.
Germany must not be permitted to
dictate any of the terms of peace
The murderous Huns must be made
to pay for their war and their crimes
by indemnities and the permanent
loss of all the colonies they once
owned, and frightfully abused.-A-
merican Guardian Journal.

ARIZONA KEENLY INTEREST
ED IN SUIT OF HEARST
(Arixoua Daily Starl

William Randolph Hearst, owner
of a dozen publications. friend of
Bolo Pasha. is seeking to vindicate
himself in the eyes of the people of
New Mexico. He is asking for an
injunction to prevent the neighbor-
ing commonwealth council of de-
fense from exercising its functions.
New Mexico appears to be in dead
earnest. The people of that state, as
represented by the council Of de-
fense, are All American, and by that
we mean that they for all of Ameri-
cas- Allies and everything that our
war with Germany stands for. Ia

lications are under the ban. They
are not wanted and Hearst is maxi
ing every possible effort to get back
into Ne good graces of them.
Misjsage New Mexico
People in Arizona and in Other
states are often inclined to point
to New Mexico and smile. tolerant

the Spanish American war New Mex

Rough Riders. to the regular army
and to other volunteer units New
Mexico's sons accredited themselves
with honor.
Since America declared war against
Germany. the people of the state
have taken an active interest in the
struggle. Sentiment against Hearst
and against the Hearst pubiicat
has grown from day to day until
the state council Of defense took
action. II advised against the read

STATE FURNISHES
QUOTA OF l,l40
UNSKILLED MEN

One million men short! That is
the alarming situation that TODAY is
confronting the men who are direct
ing the war work of the United
States. There are shortages in other
classes and grades Of labor, but the
shortage of 100000 men is in un-
skilled labor.
A picric acid plant. costing $S,OO,-
600, is now IN course of construction
at Brunswick, Georgia. Labor has
not been forthcoming to expedite the
construction, and Washington has
notified the State of Georgia that
unless 5000 laborers are furnished
at once for this plant, the gigantic
industry will be removed from the
state. The Midvale Steel plant, at
Coalsville, Penna., finds labor so
scarce that it is able to keep only
a part of the plant in operation. Other
instances might be cited, but these
two are enough to show how badly
war industries production is crippled
on account of the scarcity of labor
New Mexico Quota Doubled
Washington's telegraph call to New
Mexico this morning is for the state
practically to double its quota of un-
skilled laborers. who are to be en-
rolled and started to work with the
least possible delay. The original
quota for the state was for SIS men.
That quota has been increased to
,ll40 men. Washington says that these
men are to be put into service with
the least possible delay, no matter
what may happen to private business.
In recruiting men for Government
service, il must be borne constantly
in mind that men are not to be
taken from farms. railroads and
mines. And remember that men en-.
gagged in getting out supplies and
materials for the farms. railroads
and mines, are engaged in work
just as important as those employed
on the farms, railroads and in the
mines. The term farms" is to in
clude the allied industries of stock,
cattle, sheep and hog raising.
State viii Not Fail
New Mexico has not yet failed In
any Of its tasks in war work. And
New Mexico will not fail now. This
office looks to you to see that the
men are enrolled quickly and made
available for service where the Gov
ernment may need them most. I'm
press upon every man the vital fact
that our armies overseas will be
beaten when we can no longer fur
nish them with arms, munitions,
equipment and supplies.
