Fields said when he returned to his house. he found his gun on the dresser and re- alizing how. infuriated his wife was he took the weapon and put it in his jumper pocket. When she arrived the first thing she asked for was the gun.
 You can't have the gun while you are in this frame of mind,' Fields claims to have told the woman. She then snatched a knife and made two slashes at him, Fields declared, and he grabbed his gun and once outside the he fled. He said it was the first time he had been in trouble and it seemed natural for him to go to his mother who was in Prescott. En route for the north he was captured by the officers from whom he learned that his wife was dead, and that he was accused o1 her murder.
 County Attorney Laney emphasized the weak spots in the story in the cross examination of the defendant. The of ficer who made a close examination of the negro's home was put on in re- buttal and demonstrated how Fields must have taken deliberate aim and fired from the holes in the screen door through which the bullets passed
 The defendant is represented by T. J. Norris of Prescott and G. $. Gun ningham.

 Fields, on the witness stand, admit ted that he fired the shots which proved fatal but said that he only shot to frighten his wife who had threat ened him on that and other occasions. He testified that on the fatal October evening he had attended a picture theater and had been joined there by his wife who confronted him with a photograph of another woman which she had taken from his trunk.

 Serious economic conditions are disclosed by the censorship orders. One fOrOids the publication of adver- tisements of dog meat for sale.

MOBILIZATION
 THREE MILLION
 WORKERS BEGUN
United States Employment Service is Launched on a Gigantic Scale by the De- partment of Labor.
CRv Review Leased wireN

WASHINGTON. Jan. T. MObiliza- ton of three million workers for agriculture. shipbuilding and war con tract plants was entrusted today to the United States employment service by the department of labor.
 John B. Densmore of Montana. solic- itor for the department of labor. will be national director of the employment service. He will have as his assist ants Robert Watson of Massachusetts and Charles T. Clayton of Maryland. Samuel Gompers of New York. son of the labor leader, will succeed NIT. Wat son as the departments chief clerk
 Tremendous expansion of the serv- ice is in progress in preparation for recruiting men necessary to carry on the economic work in support of the military forces in the war. Solution of the labor shortage problem by this means is confidently predicted by the department and the cooperating labor organizations in answer to suggestions that cOEscriptiOn of labor is necessary.
 One early result is expected to be the placing of 100000 mechanics in shipbuilding plants to aid in hurrying to completion the merchant marine program
 Organization plans of the new serv, ice were described in an official state ment which said:
 Statement on Service.
 The United States employment service has been divorced from the bureau of immigration under whose control it has been since its establish ment, made a separate arm of the de partment and one of the largest and most important prosecuting organiZa- tiOns of the national government
 Through the utilization of existing and projected federal. state and muni- cipal employment offices and the labor supplying facilities of the various state councils of defense. the federal employment service will cover the en- tire continent with a network of inter. allied labor exchanges. This will re cruit' and transfer workers from one section to another to eliminate the present chaotic situation of surplus of workers in one region and a shortage in another.
 The public service reserve is ex- pected by the department of labor and the heads of organized labor to solve the labor shortage problem and to prove conscription of labor to be un- necessary. The executive committees of many of the largest international unions are cooperating with the re- serves heads in the enrolment of their members and their voluntary ac- ceptance of war jobs.
 The making of the United States employment service. the instrument for the handling of the national labor question meets with the approval of both employees and employers. Since the entrance of the United States into the war the American Federation of Labor, representing the workers. and the Chamber of Commerce of the Uni ted States, speaking for employers and business generally. both have sought the action announced today"

Although infantry operations in the character. signs are not wanting that big battles are in the process of mak- ing in Flanders. France and Italy. Al various points in these three war zones intensive artillery duels are go- ing on day and night. They are parti- cularly severe in the region of Ypres and the -Cambrai sector, where the British are facing the Germans along the Aisne. and on the Verdun sector and along the Moselle river. where the forces of the German crown prince and Grand Duke Albrecht of Wurttem- burg are opposing the French. and in the Italian highlands from the region of Lake Garda eastward to the Piave river. where the Austro German troops are aligned against the Italians. French and British.
 Southwest of Ypres. in Flanders. the Germans have made an attempt to enter British positions but met with repulse and heavy losses under the fire of the British infantry and ma chine guns. Likewise an attempted raid against the French positions on the historic Hill SO4 in the Verdun sector was stopped with sanguinary losses to the Germans. These two maneuvers constitute the only activity by infantry forces at any point. except that small British patrols al several places forced crossings of the Piave river against the TeutOnic allies In Russia.
 The situation arising in the dis agreement between the TeutOnie allies and the BOlsheviki leaders. in Russia. still remains clouded owing to lack of definite information concerning tho
