NEW MINISTER AIR
 FORCES SELECTED
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, April 26.-Sir William Weir has been appointed minister of the air forces in succession to Lord Rothermere, brother of Lord North cliffe, who resigned yesterday. Of ficial announcement of Sir Williams s appointment was made this evening.
 Announcement was made Thursday in a dispatch from London that. Lord Rothermore. who is a brother of Lord Northcliffe, chairman of the London headquarters Of the British mission to the United States and director of British propaganda in enemy countries, had resigned as secretary of state for the air forces as a result of ill health. Recently Lord Rothermere had been criticised severely by a portion of the press for running counter to Major General Trenchard, chief of the air staff, and Major General Sir David Henderson, director general of military aeronau- 'ios. who recently resigned their posts.
 Sir William Weir has been made director general of aircraft produc- ion.
 He was born in 1877 and has been in the aeronautical service since last year. Formerly, he was a Scottish director of munitions.

One of the first steps in the face of approaching hostilities is the stopping of all leaves of absence. 1t is known that the Germans stopped all such leaves and recalled officers absent from post long before the start Of war in 1914.
 The situation between Holland and Germany is obscure in the extreme. There have been unconfirmed reports of the recall of ministers and officials have admitted the situation delicate but there has been nothing more sig nificant than the stopping of all leaves of absence both for men of the land and sea forces.
 Holland has an army of about 6OO,- 900 men and a potential possibility of a much larger force beside the ever present possibility of waging war by flooding the country as has been done in bygone days

Seventy four soldiers, 54 of them from Maricopa county, left at 5;S0 o'clock last night over the Southern Pacific for Camp Funston. Hundreds were at the train to see the boys off and bid them good by.
 Members of the contingent were sworn in as soldiers by the local board at o'clock and were then entertained under the auspices of committee from the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce at the city hall plaza. Music was fur nished by the Indian school band. Judge Ernest Lewis and George Stone man were the speakers. Prayer was offered by Rev. E. T. Pomeroy of Mesa.
 Stirring addresses were delivered by both Judge Stoneman and Judge Lewis, the keynote being that the boys going away would be backed to the limit by those who are forced to remain at l home

tary, but none the less appreciated They fell naturally into places in the parade so that there was no interfer- ence with the schedule.
 HOUR IN PASSING
 When a parade winds about through a maze of city blocks, it is impossible to say how long it is in terms of linear measurement. But when it is said that procession largely made up of auto mobiles many Of which cannot be "throttled down." takes an hour to pass a given point it is understood that it is something of procession.
 if those in the parade had seen mo- body along the streets they passed, they would have thought nothing of it; it would easily have occurred to them that everybody was in the parade. But when they saw the streets banked with thousands of men, women and children, until in some parts of Washington streets there was barely room for the procession to pass, they were amazed. Where had all the people come from? Most of them were people of Phoenix. Other hundreds were from Glendale, Tempe, Mesa and laveen. The whole valeIy had outpoured.
 AVENUES CONGESTED
 The procession began forming far west as Eighth avenue at 10 o'clock The various organizations took places at that hour on the avenues just off Washington. These avenues were 50 congested, that two rows and in some places, three rows, of vehicles extended as far back as, Adams on the north and Jefferson street on the south. The procession began moving at 10:30 o'clock and half an hour later, with flying flags, to the music of the bands the parade was in motion it's whole length. It proceeded east on Washing ton to Fourth street, north to Adams. west to First avenue and then north to the Y. M. C. A. and the Water Users buildings where it was dissipated and where the eliminating incident of the day was to take place, patriotic ad- dresses at the "" stadium by Judge A. c. Baker and Captain Benjami Seovall, who before his entrance into war was a member of the faculty of Occidental college, southern California.
 WOMEN GIVEN PRAISE
 To the women of the Liberty loan committee who worked so hard for the success of the parade and to the men who managed and handled the semi military maneuver of it's progress the very highest praise was given by the thousands who lined the streets and cheered it in passing.
 There were children by the thou sands and the impression the spectacle made upon them will not be the least of the assets of the days for to them it typified united nation in a generous cause.

Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun-
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at a low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been dtsap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as we'll as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by One-half ;
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every ef-
| fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts of sugar.
| Later when the sugar supply is larg-
er, the canned fruit may be sweetened
as it is used.
