PEACE IS HERE


 Every day for the past week a lifetime of happenings has tranSpircd; in fact events have been following one another SD fast that it makes one dizzy Co contemplate them.
 It was thought last week that Germany would sign the amisticc terms drawn up by Marshal Foch and Monday morning they were signed and kings and cmpcrorS began tmbImg from their thrones like ten pins. Since then no less than half dozen crowned heads have lost their crowns and the kaiser like a rat deserted the sinking German ship of state.
 Rcvoutiouists have taken over many of .hc principal cities of Germany and there is little doubt but that a republic or mum bcr of republics will bc formed in what was formerly the German empire.
 The people of the central powers arc clamoriug for food and the powers that now have control have appealed to Presi- dent Wilson for food. The President has. promised rlat they shall have it. which. shows that although America is sturdy fighting nation 1t is also a nation that lS| humane even if we can never forgive or| forget
 Besides pleading for food thc people off Germany ar. clamoring for a speedy peace, but it is not likely that the latter will come until the governments of the central pow CTS have become stabilized SD that some one will be in authority Co sign the peace terms.
 As rcvoutiouiStS have control of some of the ships of the German navy, there may bc some difficulty in carrying out the terms of the armisticc as to the surrender ing of ships. but that difficulty will be overcome in time and there is mo doubt but that Germany is whipped and will have to take the terms offered to her.
 Although the German people may have control of their country now and will eN- poet mercy at the hands of their conquer ors. there is little doubt but the final peace terms will make them realize for all time to what depths of degradation they had sunk while they were willing tools of the kaiser ad his Jmkcrs. and the nation, as a nation. should be made to suffer for its past folly before 1t takes its place with the free governments of the world.
 Just what fate will betall the one who is now taking refuge in Holland is hard to tell. but it is mcouccivablc the he the au- thor of an the sorrows of the past four and a half wears. should be allowed to retire to a comfortable old age while the blood of murdered men. women and children are crying aloud for vengeance. It would seem to us that he is not above the law. He has been judged and found guilty in several courts both in Europe and America of wan ton murder of peaceful citizens on the high seas. and justice should be served.

And Sour Stomach Caused This Lady Much Suffering. Black
 Draught Relieved.

Meadorsville, Ky.-Mrs. Pearl Pat. rick, of this place, writes: q was very constipated. I had sour stomach and was so uncomfortable. I went to the doctor. He gave me some pills. They weakened me and seemed to tear up my digestion. They would gripe me and afterwards it seemed was more constipated than before.
 I heard of BIack-Draught and de. cided to try it. found it just what I needed. It was an easy laxative, and not bad to swallow. My digestion soon improved. I got we'll of the sour stom- ach, my bowels soon seemed normal, no more gripping. and I would take a dose now and then, and was in good shape
 I cannot say too much for Black Draught for it is the finest laxative one can use"

5000 DESERTERS ARE LISTED BY
 COL. BREEN

PHOENIX, Dec 3l.-Four thous- ant nine hundred and five deserters have been charged up to Arizona in securing the first quota of this State for the national army from the date of the registration to the present time.
 This compilation of slackers in Ari- zona has just been completed by Col onel Fred s. Breen, the first one of the kind ever made public, and gives some idea of the large number oi registrants who failed to appear for examination when so ordered by tn, local boards.
 This number of deserters is equiva- lent to S245,250 to the active man or men who turn them over to any off cer, as there is a price of $50 on the head of each one of them, placed there by the government.
 How this number of deserters Tn Arizona compares with the deserters of other states has not been learned. no such table ever having been re ceivcd at the local headquarters. But it is the opinion of the local officials that this state will stand near the head of the list in the number oi descrtcrs, principally on account of the large number of Mcxicans in tho population There are also many oi other foreign nationalitics in the State, with the majority of whom the draft officials have had much trouble.
 In the table prepared it is interest ing to note that Cochise county stands the highest in the number O! deserters. Cochisc county is in the southeast corner of the State and has probably the largest per cent of MeNi- cans of any county in the State.
 Gila county is second highest, and Pima third Apache county has the honor of owning the fcwest deserters only 13 being charged to that county Navajo is not far behind, with only Y.
 Following is the table showing the desertcrs in each county and the total registration:

WASA BANNER MONTH
 FOR RECORDER
MORE THAN S2,500 WAS TAKEN IN AS FEES AND EXEMPTIONS WERE ELL ED ON MORE THAN 5000 MINING CLAIMS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The month of December just past was the record breaker in the way of finances in the office of the county
 recorder, more than S2,500 having been received according to a state ment made yesterday evening by Re corder E. A. McSwiggin. This amount of business is nearly twice the amount which was transacted during the boom days of Jerome, when the land- scape for miles about was plastered with location notices. The treason for the good business during Decem- Der was the fact that so many of the mine owners took advantage of the provision which exempted them from performing their annual assessment work, and filed their exemption notices accordingly. Each notice was by the required filing fee andrthe cash register in Macs office came near being worn out while ring ing up the coin which flowed in.
 Nearly 5000 mining claims in this county were covered with the exemp- ton affidavits. Yesterday was the last day for receiving such claims for exemption, but Mir. McSwiggin stated that in case any more came in during the next few days they would be filed, the envelope bore post mark dated prior to midnight of the 3lst. Those which are sent in O, brought in after that time will have to- be returned to the sender without being given any official recognition.
