ing instructors for high schools, the
greater part of whose teaching forces
have hitherto been composed of young
men. Numbers of these instructors
have been called to the national army
or have enlisted. The many special
services which the government has
been organizing have also drawn heav-

FINANCES AND MARKETS
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire]

NEW YORK, Sept 25.-Resumption of professional selling on a broader scale in the stock market today checked the upward tendency which had been in evidence during the past week. Conviction is still strong in some quarters that, aside from any special influences which may inject themselves as levers to raise prices, money restriction is still the para mount factor.
 After a somewhat confused opening there were sharp declines when gen erous offerings in many stocks, notably United States Steel were not absorbed except at marked concessions.
 Tobaccos, distilleries shares, oils motors and coppers suffered depres- sions in sympathy. Marine preferred s gain, amounting to 3 ss points for the day, developed after published reports that an announcement would soon be made that the British tonnage would be sold under a plan assuring higher valuation for both classes of it's stock Sales today amounted to 300,00l shares.
 An interesting feature of the opera tions was acute weakness in Anglo French 5s. which declined & of point in contrast with the establishment ot high prices for the year in the various munitions issues. Liberty bonds were affected early after announcement o the terms of the new issue, bu strengthened later The general bono list was variable. Total sales, pal

COURTS ID SETTLE
 G|LA WATER RIGHT

CHANDLER, AriZ., Sept. 25.-The controversy over the water rights of the Gila river, that has been Waged for the last few years between the Indians on the Pima reservation at Sacaton and white settlers near Flor ence, will be carried into the courts, according to Lewis Nelson of Yah Xxi. the government interpreter, who was in Chandler recently on business.
 According to Mir Nelson, some 15, 900 acres of wheat near Casa Blanca and 1S,000 acres of grain near Sacaton and Blackwater were burned up this summer for lack of water. M K. Sniff fen, secretary of the Indian Rights as sociation, of Philadelphia, recently completed an investigation in the vicinity of the Gila, and has reported in favor of the Indians. The aid of Mrs. William Thaw of Pittsburg and Mrs. Medill Mccormack of Chicago has been enlisted in the cause.
 Before Cato Sells.
 Rev. Dirk Lay went to Washington several weeks ago and laid the mat ter before Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs. He reports that the commissioner refused to intercede on behalf of. the Indians on the ground llldI llle Wulle ldIIileIS Cldllleu II llic water was sent down the Gila it would do no good anyway, owing to quick sands around Sacatnn, which sucked up the water before it could be applied to the land. Testimony of Indians and Engineer Reed of the reclamation service showed this statement was in correct.
 | MT. Lewis says that in the old days l before the advent of the white man. there was always plenty of water in the Gila for irrigation purposes, and that it was only in recent years that farmers above the reservation have been diverting their water He stated that Frank Thackery, former Indian agent at Sacaton and now superin- tendent of all the Indian reservations, controlled 1000 acres of land just above the reservation lane. and that his ditches were full of water when the ditches of the Indians were empty.

 The food administration has issued an official denial of the reports that have been circulating about the coun- try to the effect that the German mili- tary prisoners held in this country are being fed on the fat of the land while citizens are denying themselves in order to help carry on the war. Such stories are the work of German propa- gandists, designed to create dissatis- faction among the American people. and patriotic citizens should denounce them as lies whenever heard, it is de- clared. German military prisoners are fed the regular garrison ration, as re- quired by international law, just as American prisoners in Germany are ex- pected to be fed the same as the Ger man army. The wheat allowed prison CTS here is limited to one and one-half pounds a week for each person. Other commodities are measured out in suf- fscient quantities to nourish them p]operly. but without waste. !
