There Is steadily increasing impatience through out the country at the lack of severity on the part of our toward those who here as spies or trait ors and who are scheming and working in every way. chiefly underfand to harm soldiers and country Almost every day read of ncendary fires costing in dollars from few hundred thousand to million or more Yesterday it was shipyard. today it's a ware house filled with food supplies; and the enemy in our midst and at Berlin laughs devsh gee and the sound of his mrh is like that of Nero Some are caught with discriminating dOcuments others in the act of sedton and conspiracy.

A MILITARY HIGHWAY

In speaking of the Bankhead National Highway the Douglas Daily Dispatch after exhaustive write up the subject says in closing
 The Bankhead highway primarily will be a mil itary road. and it will touch more cantonments avia- ton camps and army posts than any other road in America. This is reason it should through Douglas. One of the biggest inducements to those who have authority to set the of the road is the fact that there will be paved high way from Douglas to Bisbee. and splendid road way across the county. with Douglas its line This ought to be the of congratulaton on the part of those who had the foresight support the $1.OOOOOO highway bond issue at the recent election They say, II told you so
 And this fact should be borne in mind Douglas Bsbee, Tombstone and Benson should not overlook one single little thing further this project along It is only matter of time until the Government will see to it that this highway is paved and the paving from Bis bee to Douglas and standard roadbed from Bisbee the Pima line and from Douglas ROdeo will have the foundation for the coming paving in which Uncle Sam will help

GIVE US MORE wHEELERs

The following is from the pen of Col. Fred Breen editor and proprietor of the COconno Sum- who was sue ceeded Federal Disbursing Officer for Arizona by F. Henderson of Tombstone. Mr. Breen was the most ca ahe disbusing officer ill service here. He IS publican the article below indicates but IS that broad sind who ''gives the Devil his due. be the Devil Dem ocrat' and Fred Breen knows Harry Wheeler from th' bottom of his feet the of his head and conse .i.,enty writes knowing whereof he writes:
 The war department has at last consented to let Harry Wheeler sheriff of COchise county. fight for his country. Three times he tried to break into the army some way other and was turned down because his eyes were too far apart. or because hs hide was scared up by old wounds and probably partly because he did not take kindly to the l. W. W.'s and that element who seemed to think the American flag was merely something to yell at in stead of for Harry is democrat, born and bred: he's fighter from end of his scared carcass to the other and he scar right out m the open: he didn't ask to be general but wanted any thing from a corporal down-just so he could help make the shine brighter in Old Glory and thanks be to good agency he was given a cap taincy and attached to the 30Sth cavalry regi- ment now being formed the border. There Is only about 130 pounds of Wheeler but eliminating the few ounces of the hereditary democratic taint from his system. he II average ounce per enemy ton if they allow him to get into the fuss with the Germans.

ROAD WORK TO
 BE CONTINUED

At a joint meeting held late this afternoon between State Engineer B. NJ. At wood and the Board of Su- eprvisors of Cochise Coun- ty, composed of Chairman V. NJ. Johnson and John Rock. with member J. NJ Sparks absent, an agree ment was reached whereby the work on the Bisbee- Tombstone State highway will be continued as here tOfOre without hitch. The bone of contention was rel ative to the working of the, county prisoners on state road work and this was. settled by both state engi- neer and supervisors reach ing an agreement whereby the prisoners would be un- der the direction of an as sistant county engineer to- work under the state divi-- sion engineer, who would be sent here to take charge of the work. An entirely satisfactory arrangeme nt was the outcome and both State Engineer Atwood and the Supervisors were pleas ed with the results. Louis. Whitney, of the COmmis-- sion of State Institutions: under whose supervision all road money is spent by the State Department, waE here also and expressed himself as entirely pleased with the results and that the commission would sanc- tiOn all demands.
 As the matter now stands the work will continue as it always has and both the state departments and the county board deserve cred it in coming to the amicable settlement which will meet with highest approval from the taxpayers.and travelling public of COchise County.

HAROLD srEiNFEuD
IS ORDERED HELo

According to the Tucson Star. re- ceived here yesterday. instructions have been received by the local draft board of that county to place Harold Steinfeh in the regular order of lia- bility under the old draft. The Star says:
 Harold Steinfeld will be handled the same as any other registrant in his proper order. Disregard the previous wire instructions.
 While no advices were received by either the local or district board. it was presumed from the message that President Wilson had passed adversely upon MT. Steinfeld's ap- peal for exemption and that instruc- tions were received by Adjutant Gen eral Harris upon which he based his instructions to the local board of Tucson.
 The last instructions the local board received from Adjutant Gen eral Harris were to suspend opera uons of the draft as to Mir. Stein. field. This put him on a suspend ed list and eliminated him from con- sideration in the draft to fill up the contingent to go under the new na- tional cal for S0.000 men. of which the Tucson quota will be 13 men.
 Mir. Steinfeld and number of others who have been held back from the camps on appeals. head the list as it now stands. Most of those at the head of the list are, like MT. S:einfeld. out of their order number. but in sequence Their associates on the original order of liability have already gone to the army either by volunteering or by draft.
 ''On this list Mir. Steinfeld is said to be the goth man from the top. but owing to the fact that a number whose number comes before his have
 
 applied for special induction into special regiments. virtually volun- teers. the possibility is very strong that he will be one of the 1s. All those who volunteer in the call for special service who are at the top of the list. will be credited, it is said, to the next big draft to be made when congress gets through with pending legislation. In other words. their volunteering now does not re- duce the quota to go at this time, but it does operate to reduce the numbers required in the next draft. This is according to present advices.
 The thirteen. according to the best information obtainable, will leave about March 2s. Whether they will leave from Tucson or not is still question, since some of the men are not here. The names of the 13 can not be ascertained un- til the special inductions are clear ed up and the final list arranged.

TRiTLe AND GAMES
 TOURING COUNTRY

DOUGLAS. March 2O-"Buying war savings stamps today and not buying any tomorrow. buying this week and not buying next week will not meet the needs of the govern ment which has asked that the peo- pie of this country to buy two bil- lion in thrift stamps during the present year. Each community Is expected to take its part of these securities and this will not be a heavy burden if everyone will do their part" This was the remark of Harry Tritle of Phoenix, who is state manager of the sale of Liber ty bonds and war saving stamps in Arizona. who Is in the city with J. x. Gaines. of Tombstone. who has charge of this work in Cochise coun- ty
 Mir. Tritle says that in sor,e parts of the state much interest has been awakened in this matter, but that in others it has been hard to i'm. press the necessity for action on the people. The present duty con- fronting the people of the United States is that of winning the war" said MT. Tritle. and all other things must be forgotten or made a second consideration until every aid possi- ble is provided for the government required for carrying on the con test"
 Messrs. Gaines and Tritle will go to Bisbee this afternoon to meet with local workers in the war say. ings stamp campaign.
 Third Liberty Loan
 Mir. Gaines when asked what he regarded the outlook for success in this county with the third Liberty loan said that he confidently ex- pected to see Cochise county go over the top" agad&. as she had with the previous two sales of these bonds. He said that he had been informed that Cochise county has been divided into two districts now for the sale of the third Liberty bond offering. The northern dis trict of the county will include all territory north of Bisbee with head quarters at Tombstone. The south ern district will include Bisbee and Douglas and all the territory south of Bisbee. Mir. Gaines will be in charge of the southern district and will have his headquarters in Bis bee. The third loan will be han dled very much as was the first and second with the exception that the county organization will not solicit purchasers among the soldiers. This does not mean that the soldiers will not have an opportunity to secure bonds, but that this feature will be entirely in the hands of the govern ment. through it's agents.
 Mir. Gaines said that while he has been somewhat disappointed in the volume of sales of war savings stamps in the county up to the pres ent time he felt confident that later it would be shown that Cochise county will take all of these securf- ties that have been allotted for this territory.

PoWERs-sIssoNs TRIO
 ASK CHANGE OF VENUE

TUCSON, March 1S.-John and Tom Powers and Tom Sissons, mur. derers of Sherin Mcbride of Ora ham county and two of his deputies will not be tried in Tucson, accord. ing to a letter received at the coun. ty attorneys ofiice from County Attorney Chambers of Graham coun- ty. They will be tried at Clifton in Greenlee county.
 County Attorney Chambers wanted the case tried in Tucson, and the attorneys for the defendants would have been satisfied to have the case tried here. but the judge held that u1der the law he must transfer the case to Greenlee county. having no discretion fin the matter.
 The penal code, paragraph l0O1, provides that in transferring a case on a change of venue 1t must be sent to the county seat which is most accessible to the county seat from which the case originated.
 The case vas transferred on the request of the defense for a change of venue, based upon the ground that the defendants would be unable to get an impartial trial in Graham county because of the hostility of the public.
