AMERICANS TALK TOO MUCH.

Major General E. D. Swinton, credited
with being the inventor of the tank, :"
and who, as "eyewitness" for the British
staff, reported the earlier battles in
France, has addressed a few friendly
words to Americans that seem needed at
Washington
Zone thing you Americans must do, :"
he says, land that is not talk so much
about your war preparations. ! see now
some talk about building gun to shoot
100 miles. Well, if you build such gun,
build it, but don't talk about it, The
same is true about your airplane program
Let the Germans have their first taste
when they see your air fleets in the air
over their lines.''
General SWintOn practiSeS what he
breaches. The first the Germans knew
of his tanks" was when they came wad-
ding across No Mans Land scattering
death and destruction as they numbered
forward. So with the Germans. They
did not advertise their 7O-mile gun, their
poison gas or their liquid FIRE. Who can
guess how many inventions they have
tried out that failed and no one the wiser
But at Washington every program is
press-agented far and wide. Look at our
shipbuilding stunt. Most of the criti-
cism and disappointment to ourselves and
our Allies in that field was due to exag-
gerated publicity at the start. The same
with our airplane program, with the pitt
full mouse that resulted from the noun
tain's labors. Eventually we shall no
doubt catch up and surpass the advance
notices, but think how much disappoint-
ment and disarrangement of plans here
and abroad would have been avoided had
our official publicists had General Swim
toms advice at the outset and acted upon
it.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The avalanche of refugees that
swept into Paris from the north of
France had been the despair Of the
civil authorities. These homeless,
stunned people were a new RESPONSE
bility to be added to the thousands of
wounded men that came steadily from
the Shambles of the west front.
Paris is an old city. II was not
ready to take in its neighbors' chill
dren. Its population was already a
tight fit. So it made the best of its
poor hospitality by offering up its gar
rets. New building construction seem
ed impossible Men were scarce. The
mechanic was either manning the
trenches or fighting the fight in the
war factories. Paris was distracted.
1t Is wonderful indeed how nobly
Paris tried to meet this condition.
And it is remarkable how Paris met it
with the aid of our own Red Cross.
Unhampered by red tape or precedent,
our Red Cross put on overalls ana
jumper, carried the hod, became archi-
tect, engineer and contractor and went
into the building of homes Here was
a church lot that lay vacant; here an
unfinished hospital; there worn out

Unless some immediate action is taken
by those in charge of the railroad prob
lens of northeastern New England, sew
eral important industries are going to get
a body blow that may cripple them so
severely that they will conclude that
there is no incentive to effort in the pro-
duction line. All along the Washington
County Railroad, from the seacoast to
Washington Junction, and particularly in
the extreme eastern section, there are
huge piles of pulp wood, cordwood and
other raw and manufactured products
which cannot be moved, and for the re-
moval and handling of which there is ap-
parently little immediate hopes.

The Pay of War Prisoners.

When employed on work that is neces-
sary for their comfort, or for the upk eep
of the prison barracks in which they are
interned, prisoners will receive no COM
pensation When the work is done for
the government, prisoners will be paid at
a rate according to the work executed;
when the work is for other branches of
the public service or for private persons,
the conditions of and the compensation
for such work will be settled in agree
ment between representatives of said
branches or persons and the adjutant
general of the Army. The wages of the
prisoners shall go toward improving their
position, and the balance shall be paid
them on their release, after deducting the
cost of their maintenance.

Our Boys Catch a Spy.

The first German American to be caught
spying on the Americans is safely in Gus
tody. Behind the characterization of
traitor to his country contained in the re-
port of his arrest, is the story that he
aided German prisoner to escape. Both
men donned American officers uniforms
and entered the line from the rear in the
late afternoon. They said they were
studying the ground between the lines
with view to using tanks and asked to
be allowed to cross the lines. The officer
to whom they made the request soon dis
covered the ruse and ordered them es-
corted to the rear. There it was found
that one of the men was a German and
that the German American was his &C

We here at home who associate the

lose this old illusion in the light of a

In this case we see the Red Cross
first as diplomats convincing the civil

architects remodeling buildings, chang

Catarrh Of Throat

Miss Amalie Ruzicka, 1449 South
18th ST., Omaha, Nebraska, writes:
Il have suffered with catarlh of the
throat. l caught cold and it settled
in my throat, and l coughed badly
and was very weak. I could not sleep
and had no appetite. I had two doc
tors, and had taken so many different
medicines and found no help. 1 thought
will have to give up; but at last
my mother read about Peruna, so l
thought of trying that great medicine
Peruna. I got a bottle of it and in
about four days almost stopped
coughing, and after a while I surely
found relief, and from that time we
are not without Peruna in our home"

THE RED CROSS MAN
Bv AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR
Of the ViQiIantes.

Broken with pain and WEAKNESS
And Slapped with vile disease,
Back to the land of ruined towns,
Of murdered men and trees,
Through Switzerland from Germany
The trains of wreckage ram
And on the French frontier they found
A Red Cross Man.
And when to what had once been home
Those haggard exies came,
Young wheat was green above the scars
Of steel and blood and flame
Round new built houses where once more
The work of life began.
And still they found to welcome them
A Red Cross Man.
There the husband casped again
The wife he mourned as dead
The child was its mothers breast,
The old were comforted
What wonder if they hope to find
The Angel of Gods Plan
Who meets them at the heavenly gate
A Red Cross Man!

ficials will take samples of the milk on the public market. These samples will be submitted to the state labora- tory at the University of Arizona where they will be subjected to bac- terialogical tests to determine the but ter fat and other solids contained in each, and their general quality. Super ficial tests made in the past, indicate that the milk supply cf Florence, Tue son and Uogales compares favorably with that of this city.
 The market milk consumed in Ray, Hayden, Winkelman and Superior, however is said to be far below the standard. This condition is due, it is said, to the long hauls that are neces- sary to furnish enough milk to supply the demand. An effort is to be made at this time 10 remedy this condition.
 When pressed for a statement as to how the local situation compares with those> of the other states under his administratio MT. Hoyt declined to commit himself. "The examinations which have been made" he said, while they are fairly complete, are not entifely finished.

A day of intensive work. for the pur- pose of carefully analyzing the general sales conditions and future develop ment possibilities now that the war IS definitely over, was spent in Phoenix and other valley towns yesterday by J. D. Hess, Jr., assistant western sales manager for the F'irestone Tire and Rubber company of Akron, O., and F. c. Flckinger, manager of the F'ireStone's district of southern California and Ar iZona.
 MT. Hess trip at this time is made to acquaint the company directly, and 10 study problems that arise here and to obtain a thorough knowledge of the territory, of the business conditions of the agencies and policies in effect with the agencies.
 MT Hess has found conditions in Ar iZona very satisfactory for his big tire manufacturing company. The Firestone company is also watching closely the development of the large amount of acreage in the Salt River Valley that is being devoted to the growing of long staple cotton peculiar to the valley, and which is becoming a factor in the mak- ing of cord tires by the big tire manu- ia cturers.

DAMAGE SUIT AFTER CYCLE AND GAR CRASH
 |ST ID BE TRIED AGAIN

In the co SC of C. D. Young, appellant, against Colin Campbell and Dan Camp bell. appellees, from this county, the supreme court yesterday reversed the judgment of the lower court and re- manded the case for trial. This was an action brought by the appellant for damages he sustained in a collision in this city four years ago.
 The collision occurred at the inter section of Third avenue and Adams street. The appellant was riding motorcycle east on Adams street and met the appellees who were driving On the avenue in a motor car. The appel lant alleged negligence on the part of the appellees in turning the automobile between the center of the street and the southeast curb corner in violation of the rules of the road as established by the ordinances of the city.
 A special defense was offered, alleg- ing negligence on the part of the ap pellant who, t was statd. was riding at high rate of speed and did not eX- ercise ordinary care. Certain facts were admitted by the defense so that the ls- sues raised by the special defense Of contributory negligence were the ques tions remaining for trial.
 The defense contended and offered testimony to show that the plaintiff had travelled at 9 miles an hour be- tween Fourth avenue and Third ave nue, though he sWore and offered t. prove that his speed had not been in excess of twelve miles an hour. After the instructions had been offered and the jury had retired, the latter returned to court for further instructions. One of the jury wanted to know whether the excessive speed of the plaintiff, con- corning which there had been testi- mony, pertained to the intersection or whether the witness was describing the speed of the motorcycle at a point between the two avenues. The court then said: That applies to the terri tory covered-any territory-by the evidence in this case" Mention was also made of the fact that the territory Tn this section was closely built up. It was the opinion of the court that all this was beyond the scope of the is sues and that whatever might have been the negligence of the plaintiff be- tween Fourth and Third avenue, that could not have been proof that he was negligent between the west line of Ihlrd avenue and the point of the col llsion. The instruction of the lower court is, therefore, found to have been preJudicial to the appellant.
