months must elapse before our mil lions of men and the ordnance which accompanies them, are transported to this country and the army demobil- ized.
 The two questions which seem to be attracting considerable attention in political circles today, are the woman suffrage and nationwide prohibition. They appeal to nearly all and the manner in which they will eventually be settled is of vital interest. However with John Barley corn out of the running the suffra- gettes might enlist the "dry' advo- cates as they will have little else to do, and if they work as hard for suffrage as they have for prohibition, all women may yet vote.

Germans Capture VOOrmezeele. But Are Driven Out-Ma- chine Guns and MOrtars Are Also Captured.

London, April 28.-The fighting to- day along the British front in France was largely confined to minor opera tions, according to Field Marshal Haig's report tonight. The British positions in the Ppres sector were heavily bombarded.
 The statement says:
 "A hostile attack in the neighbor- hood of Locre was reported to be de- veloping this afternoon. Otherwise the infantry action today has been confined to local engagements on diff ferent parts of the battle fronts.
 South of the Somme a number of prisoners have been brought in by our patrols in the neighborhood of Vil- lers- -Bretonneux. Artillery activity continued on both sides.
 "This afternoon the hostile artil- lery heavily bombarded our positions in the Ypres sector. The thick fog Saturday prevented aerial operations.
 London, April 2S.-The Germans made an attack yesterday afternoon on the northern side of the Flanders salient and captured the town of Voor mezeele, two miles south of Ypres, but were driven out last night by a counter-a attack, the war office an- nounces. Late at night the Germans again attacked on this front.
 The statement follows:
 "Yesterday afternoon hostile at tack developed in the neighborhood of Voormezeele. The enemy succeed. ed in capturing the village, but was driven out early in the night by ouI counter attack. At late hour the enemy again attacked in this locality
 "There was local fighting through out the night on both sides of the Ypres-Comines Canal. Successful raids, in which we captured over 50 prisoners and four machine guns and trench mortars, were carried out last night south of Gavrelle and in the Lens and Hill 70 sectors. A raid at tempted by the enemy north of Bail leul was repulsed.

LIMITING OF OFFICE OF
 COUNTY JUDGE TO LAWYERS
Editor Prescott Daily News.

Editor Prescott Daily News.
 Dear Sir: note in your paper a statement to the effect that the con- stitutional convention is considering the limiting of the office of county judge to lawyers only. I think this is something that should be thorough ly discussed before being adopted, even by the convention.
 I would consider its adoption a very undemocratic action, to say the least. We are now in the greatest war of all time, fighting for democ- racy, are we not? Well! let's not dirty our hands by framing a funda- mental law that denies all of our citi- zens the right to office except one special class, Why not also limit the office of representative to lawyers,

WHITE MAN IS STRUCK
 BY NEGRO WITH AXE

Deputy Sheriff L. c. Steele went out to J. M. Smiths farm, ? 1-2 miles south of Prescott this morning and took into custody John Washington and his son, two negroes, and placed them in the county jail, charged with assault on J. M. Smith, for whom they were working.
 A dispute arose early this morning between Mir. Smith and the negroes over a piece of work and one word followed another until the negroes became angry, one of them getting an axe and striking MT. Smith on the side of the head. The axe was a double bit and was extra heavy. The blow, fortunately, glanced and did not render MT. Smith unconscious. How ever, his neck received quite twist which may result seriously.

FREI. MAKES CLOS
 ING ADDRESS AT
 s. s. cHAUTAUQUA
n;,sctor of Publicity for Arkan- Dns sss Food Administration Sreaks @ on An Imperative Necessity"

u, ,ost number of the Sunday c,bool Chautauqua at the Methodist e which has been held every Sunday night in this month, was sroucbt to fitting close last night sr an address by Walter M. Ebel, di- rsctor of publicity for the Arkansas rood Administration, who used as his subiect "An Imperative Necessity" and took advantage of this chance to n,onound a number of facts to his hoorers on food conservation which Nr Ebel predicts will be more forci- Nv brought before the American peo- rle in the near future than ever be- fore.
 Mr. Ebel had the largest audience last night that has greeted any of the chautauqua speakers and we thor opcbly believe that no one went away in the least disappointed. He chose his text from the bible, the keynote of which was. How Shall it be in the End?" The entire scripture, Mir. Ebel said. has direct bearing on the pres ent war and the conditions which brought it about. He spoke at length on the many sins practiced by the people of the world and especially of Belgium and France, which countries he said were having the wrath of the Almighty brought down on them for having forgot God. He referred t6 the dangerous ground on which our own country was treading year or two before we entered the world con Aict, many ministers over the United States being forced to take the stand in defense of the very faith the church and the Christian religion is founded on; the church, Mir. Ebel said, was attacked by people who claimed that it was losing its hold in the world and was on the decline.
 The speaker when well into the subject of food conservation, proved by the bible-with due reverence and respect, he said-that the conserva- ton of food was taught in the bible in nun1har nf met ancac opa nf uvbiah was the feeding of the five thousand, when Jesus used barley bread instead Of wheat bread and used fish instead Of beef or pork, and after the five thousand had been fed, as another means of conserving feed, Jesus or dered all that was left to be gathered up in baskets so that none would be

GERMANY DEPRESSED
 BY LOSSES IN DRIVE
Nervousness is Revealed by Pub lished Article - Capt. VOn Salzman Tries to Restore Con- fidence.

London, April 28-A telegram from Reuters correspondent at Amsterdam says:
 Extraordinary nervousness and depdession prevails in Germany owing to the losses in the western offensive, revealed with remarkable frankness in an article by Capt. von Salzman in the Vossische Zeitung, in which he en- deavors to restore their lost conti- denee to the Germans by emphasizing the importance of the capture of Kemmel Hill.
 Capt. von Salzman enumerated a few of the series of rumors current in Germany. All these stories are prefaced by the remark. In the Reichstag it is said and goes on to say:
 "'Our losses have been enormous. The offensive in the west has arrived at a deadlock. The enemy is much stronger than the supreme command assumed. We are unable to continue the offensive owing to the lack of horses. The region before sYpres is a great lake and, therefore, impossible. The whole country between our Amiens front and Paris is mined and will be blown up.
 "'The people, continues Salzman, have begun to lose their nerve. Re plying in the Reichstag the minister of war said something like this:

 LIBERTY LOAN URGED
Only Hard Work Can Bring the Total to the Maximum-Ex- pect $3,00O, O,000,O00 to Be Passed This Week.

Washington, April 28.-Oversub- scription to the three billion dollar minimum of the third Liberty Loan now is looked for during the cam paign's final week, about to start, but treasury officials declared tonight the five billions needed would be sub scribed only if millions of citizens take shares of the loan in the next six days.
 It is apparent that with about $2,- 200 100000 definitely pledged, many other subscriptions in the hands of campaign committee without the in- stallment payments and a roll of g. 461 ,000 individual subscribers, the third war credit is truly peoples loan."
 But only the hardest kind of work in the next six days will make possi- ble approach of the 20,000,000 sub- scribers goal asked for by Secretary McAdoo," said the headquarters re- view tonight.
 When the second loan campaign was three-fourths over, the treasury estimated that possibly $2,225, 100000 had been subscribed, although only $1 ,228,000, ,000 had been officially re- ported, as compared with the $2,200, 100000 now officially tabulated for the third loan.

One is just as reasonable as the other and just as democratic. It appears to me that 1t would be the proper thing to divide each county into two or more judicial districts and elect a district judge from each district and a presiding judge from the county at large.
 Then abolish the chancery court, putting a portion of the business under the jurisdiction of circuit court, aad establish the office of judge of probate to handle the balance. That is what l would call democracy.

A CRUTCH WITH ROCKERS.

According to the Journal of the
American Medical Association, DR..
Robert G.. Hall, of Portland, Ore, has
improved upon the classic crutch,
which has remained in it's present
form, we suppose, for centuries, by
the addition of rockers. These rock
ers, adjusted to the ends of the
crutches, greatly facilitate the pro-
gress of the user; he makes much
faster time with far greater ease
The arc of the rocker, as we under
stand the description, is designed to
approximate that described by the
movement of the shoulders when the
ordinary form crutch is employed.
Thus the shoulder become the axis
instead of the ferrule of the crutch,
greatly reducing the amount of en-
ergy required. The crutch with
rockers has the obvious disadvantage
of being rather unwieldy, conspicu-
Gus and heavier than the old style
prop" Otherwise, it would seem to
be notable improvement. One
wonders "why. no one ever thought
of it BEFORE" .

ROADS IN WAR TIMES.

Some people seem to think that
because we are at war the highways
should be allowed to deteriorate.
In the first place, it helps to win
the war by maintaining the highways
already built so that the products of
the farm can be hauled to market
cheaply, which means a reduction in
equipment and man power necessary
to do the hauling and, Furthermore,
foodstuffs will be produced in greater
abundance if there is way of get
ting them to market, and new roads
should be built only if they are of an
economic and military Importance.
At the same time, good roads will
assist great deal in relieving the
congestion on the railroads.
Second, counties that vote an ex-
ira road tax are not making any ad-
vancement whatever, they are merely
standing still, as it is necessary now
to have the extra tax because it re-
quires about two dollars this year to
go as far as one dollar did last year.
Third, the road system of county
represents several hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars and if the roads are
not maintained the original invest
ment will be lost, and if sufficient
funds are not provided for such pur-
pose we will suddenly find we have
no roads and instead of conserving
we have been wasting.
Fourth, twenty cents on the one
hundred dollars is only two dollars
on the thousand, which is practically
negligible so far as money is concern
ed and means very little to any one
man. We should remember that the
roads are the peoples property, and
not merely the hobby of any Fiscal
Court
Fifth, there are numerous ways in
which we can can conserve before
advocating the false theory of cutting
the necessary expense for road work,
because roads are not a luxury, but
a necessity especially in times Of
war.
