HAYDEN GUARDS
ARE,I3OO. .STRONG

HAYDEN, Ariz., Jan. 28.-ln line
with the movement which has sprung
up oyer the state for war duty from
clviEans, more than three hundred
men have enrolled for guard duty in
Hayden and vicinity. All do not go
on duty at one time, OF course, but
work in relays, or shifts. Each shift
is assigned in accordance with a defi-
mite plan laid out in advance. The
service, although inaugurated so re-
Gently, has worked with surprising
smoothness and efficiency. Judge
Nash, at the head of the organization,
is receiving much praise for the sys-
tematic way in which details have
been worked out. Some of. the boys
felt the cold little at first. but plenty
good, warm clothing, and thermos
bottle or two filled with hot coffee
soon remedied the difficulty and has
made the self-imposed duty more OF
a holiday event than a hardship.

Editor of The Copper Camp.
Dear Sir:
Through your paper l wish to thank
the fellows of Ray for the package of
tobacco they sent me. BY some mis-
take all of my packages have been
addressed to Co. H, 158th Inf. while
am in Co. A, 158th Inf, but luckily
1 received everything but the knife
and razor, which must have got lost.
To say that we are grateful for
these gifts is putting it light, but
could you see the boys loading up
their "hods" with that tobacco, after
a long hike, and mark the smiles of
satisfaction on their faces, you could
see appreciation and thanks written
in their every movement
Pinal boys are coming to the front
in more ways than one, and you can
watch our smoke from home.
In the last month four have been
made corporals, L. Sonoqui of Hay
den, Ralph Sheriff. and VIM. Gillette

have earned those coveted first
stripes"
Well it's movie night at the Y. M.

Possibility of a reversal of decision
under which hundreds of county office
holders in Arizona are sueing for back
salaries aggregating over $250,000 was
indicated in argument of the case Of
Mcknight VS.. Santa Cruz county this
week before the supreme court, when
l.. B. Whitney, assistant attorney
general, advanced the theory that an
officer who accepts compensation un-
der a statute and treats such statute
as valid cannot afterward take ad-
vantage of the unconstitutionality of
same. He also urged the one year
statute limitations against the recov-
cry of back salaries of county Off
cials.

Ladies, Gentlemen and School Chill
dren of Ray:
l take pleasure in thanking you for
the packages have received through
your Kindness. A man is indeed for
tunate if he halls from dear little Ray.
I received the tobacco while in
--aples, Mimi, and although 1 do not
use the weed in the form of cigarettes,
| assure you the tobacco was not
wasted as there were plenty of sailors
who volunteered to smoke it for me.
The comfort kit and fruit cake l re-
ceived only few days ago, they hav-
ing been sent to the receiving ship at
Philadelphia, thence to New York,
then back again to the Prairie (my
present domicile). r.

1t must be understood, however, that
the income derived from such proper

of state, or any political sub-divl-
sion of a state, or upon the obliga-
tions of the United States, except in
the case of obligations of the United

authorizing their issue.
(e) Interest upon the obligations

(b) The amount received by the in

county officers, and employees OF mur

such persons from sources other than
state, county or municipal funds and

answer, is taxable.
If in Doubt, See Collector
If you are in doubt as to whether
you are required to make a return,
see the deputy collector of internal
revenue, who will be in Ray Feb. 8
to 16. It will greatly facilitate his
work if you will cut out the blank
form printed in this weeks Copper
Camp and fill out same and hand it
to the collector upon his arrival in
Ray. He will then be able to tell you
whether or not you are required to
make return.
| AS all returns must be made by
March 1st, and as heavy penalties are
provided for failure to make return
on time, unless an extension is
granted, or for the making of false
or fraudulent return, it is apparent
that this is a matter which should be
given careful attention by all persons
affected. In view of the fact that the
exemptions were lowered recently by
congress so as to affect great many
persons who have never before paid
income tax, it will be necessary to
give strict attention to the require
ments of the law so as to ascertain

could not have been appreciated any
more if they had arrived on time.
The cake arrived at very oppor-
tune moment, as only recently an or
dor was posted that no more sweets
would be sold at the ships canteen.
To give you a faint idea of what that
means to the jackies, candy, cookies,
cake, ETC., are as essential to a sailors
happiness as milk is to a baby S
health. Needless to say, the cake was
eaten to the last crumb and whoever
baked that cake, "she was sure some
cake builder"
When you know that sailor has to
put all his earthly belongings in a
single bag, fourteen inches in diameter
by three feet long, you begin to real
ize what that comfort kit means to me.
Putting it mildly, with this precious
kit in my possession, no longer need

Dear Friends-I don't know when
was ever more agreeably surprised
than was few weeks ago when your
delicious fruit-cake was brought to me
by the mail orderly. 1t was just fine
and l enjoyed every bite of it, from
first taste to frosting. l gave each of
the boys in my tent a sample and they
all agreed with me that old Santa Claus
must live in Ray, Arizona, instead of
at the north pole, as of old.
Wishing you all the joy and happi-

FEDERAL REVENUE AGENTS
 SHOT BY POLICEMEN
EACH THOUGHT THE OTHERS ILLICIT DRUG SELLERS THEY
 WERE HUNTING.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 5.-As a re- suit of mistaken identity John Fully and Albert Raithel, of St Louis. fed eral revenus agents, are in hos pital here tonight suffering from gun shot wounds received late today in a pistol fight with city detectives in a house which the officers suspected drugs were being sold and had gone to raid. Members of each party thought the others the suspects they had gone to arrest.
 Both Fully and Raithel were shot through the body and their wounds | are dangerous, according to physi- clans. None of the detectives were injured.
 More than sixty shots were ex changed and the mistake was not dis covered until police reserves had re. sponded to a riot call.
 Earlier in the day the police had arrested man and woman who ad- mitted they had been trafficking ir drugs and who told the police they had quantity of narcotics stored al the house where the shooting took place. This afternoon the police took the two prisoners to the house. Mean time information had been received at the district attorneys office that drugs were stored at the place and Fully and Raithel were sent to the place. Neither the federal officers nor the detectives are clear as to which party arrived first or who fired the first shots.
 Persons in the vicinity turned in a riot call to police headquarters and when reserves arrived they found Fully and Raithel lying on the floor wounded. The detectives were bar ricaded behind piles of furniture and although they had a number of bull let holes in their clothing, none were injured
 During the fight the man and woman who had been taken to the house by the detectives escaped and no trace had been found tonight. Officers found a quantity of nor phine, opium and heroin in the house it was said.

EARTHQUAKES CONTINUE
 AT GUATEMALA CITY
CITY IS REPORTED IN RUINS AND FIFTY DEATHS HAVE RE-
 SUITED FROM DISASTER.

Guatemala, Jan. 5.-The earth quakes here continue with varying frequency and intensity. The capital Is in ruins. Fifty deaths so far have resulted from the disaster. Assist ance is arriving from the adjacent plantations and the departments of telegraph and the posts have been partly established. The houses are uninhabitable ana many of the building fronts have fallen into the streets, leaving the interiors open to the elements. Martial law has been established and several looters have been executed. Red Cross stations have been established to fight the danger of a pestilence that turks in the faulty sanitation and the inter ruption of the water supply.
 The weather is exceptionally cold and the homeless inahfDtants are suf- fering severely. To lessen the chance of disorder, the authorities have pro- hibited the sale of liquor.
 The public anxiously is awaiting the arrival of supplies reported to be in transit from New York.

MILITARY OPERATIONS
 ARE AT A STANDSTILl

With the American Army in France, Jan. 5.-United States aViators have flown over the German battle lines and dropped bombs, in conjunction with Brit ish and French pilots. The flight of the Americans virtually was a reprisaI for the killing of two American wood cutters during German bombing expedition a week ago.
 Through the courtesy of the British and French flying au- thorities the American aviators also have taken part in observa- ton and photographic work. It is not thought advisable to name the places where the Americans flew on the bombing expedition, but it was we'll beyond the Ger man air defense lines at the front.

the Austro Hungarian nationalities
 The Turkish empire with the homelands of the Turkish race, with Constantinople as it's capital, may be maintained. But the passage be- tween the Mediterranean and the Black Sea must be internationalized and neutralized and in the British view, Arabia, Armenia, Mesopotamia, Syria and Palestine are entitled to recognition of their separate national conditions
 The matter of the German col onies, all of whic~ are now in the hands of the allies, will be placed before a conference, where decision however, must consider the wishes and interests of the inhibtants-the future administration must be ac- ceptable to the various tribes.
 The premier made brief reference to the violations of international law committed by Germany with special emphasis on the sea, and the peace conference, he declared, must not lose
 
 sight of the outrages suffered by British and other seamen and the services they had rendered.
 The three cardinal points of the British terms, as enunciated by the British prime minister are: Re-es- tablishment of the sanctity of the treaties; territorial settlement based on the right of self-d determination, or the consent of the governed the ere ation of an international organization to limit armaments and diminish the probability of war.
 Arthur Henderson, leader of the labor party in the house of com- mons, tonight stated it was his opin ion that British labor would welcome Premier Lloyd Georges statement of the aims for which Great Britain is fighting in the world war.

ROADS AFFECTED BY TIE
 0RDtR ARE IN THE EAST
Fast Trains Between New York, Chi cago and St. Louis Will Be tho Next to Be Taken off--MeAdoo Urges People to Refrain From Unneoes. sary Travel.

Washington, Jan. 5.-To free lo- comotives and crews for the moro important freight transportation, more than twenty per cent through passenger trains on the eastern rail- roads will be discontinued tomorrow by approval of Director General Me- Adoo. The running schedules of others will be reduced to lower speed to facilitate the movement of freight trains. This policy, announced to- night by the director general, will be gradually extended to affect train service throughout the country. Fast trains between New York and Chi cago and St. Louis and between Chicago and southern and western points probably will be the next to be affected Individual railroads will l take the initiative in suggesting cur I tailments, but these will be approved by the director general in most cases. In approving the new passenger schedules of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio, which go into ef- feet tomorrow and of the New Havep which becomes effective January 12, MT. McAdoo ordered number of notifications resulting in retention of more parlor cars than the rail- roads had planned.
 The program for elimination of trains and lengtehening of their run nj al
 nounced by the Pennsylvania, Balti- more & Ohio and New Haven and a few other smaller lines. Others are expected to take siimlar action with in few days.
 MT. McAdoo appealed to the pub lic in a statement tonight to refrain from travel as much as possible, but promised that no commuter trains or others necessary for proper mainte- nance of business life in cities will be eliminated.
 Congress next week will take up the railroad bills introduced yester- day following President Wilson's message on government operation and discussion today among members of both houses indicated a marked difference of opinion of whether gov ernment control should extend only a definite period after the end of the war or indefinitely until congress or ders otherwise.

Soldiers InD0de Mexico
 and Rescue Officers
Fight Results in Which Two Mex- icon Customs Guards Are
 Killed By Ca1alrymen

Douglas, Ariz., Jan. 5.-The two American officers, Captain David H. Blalelock and Lieutenant George J Lind, whose seizure Friday afternoon resulted in a fight between United States cavalrymen and Mevican GUS tom guards, in which two of the lat - ter were killed, one wounded and three taken prisoner, were captured on American soil, according to an an- nouncement today by Colonel George II. Morgan, Arizona district com mander. who ordered an investigation immediately after learning of the af- fair
 "The incident is closed so far as am concerned" Colonel Morgan said. 1t developed today that there had been frequent sniping by Mexican pa trols at our men in the vicinity of the place where the fighting took place but did not know of this until to- day. I think the precipitate action of the soldiers in crossing the line to rescue their officers, who had been seized on United States sof partly was due to the enmity that the Mex jeans have shown toward them.
 Tt is a regrettable affair and there is no prospect of repetition or of any further local difficulty"
 According to the report of Captain Blakelock the cavalry troop had left Douglas Friday for practice march most of the members being recruits and at noon had camped IS miles east of here. Several hunting par ties were formed. among them being one composed of Captain Blakelock and Lieutenant Lind. When the off yards of the international line they

have been made out of the city, and the matter was reported to all city. township and co,~nty officers that every watch might be kept on per- sons who are going away, either by highway or train. It is not believed that the dynamite was to have been n9ed in this city, but that it was to be taken up here and removed to some point where perhaps bridges are to be attacked or public buildings or ports are to be destroyed.
 Tt was ineed fortunate that this was discovered when it was," said Mir. Williams last night. q do not believe that any considerable harm can be done from the incident, as it Is, but I do know that the possibili- ties were such that 1t was fortunate that we located the broken door, and did not permit any more of this ex- plosive to get into the hands of the enemy. can not believe that the theft was an ordinary one because there Is not a man in Garland county who has use for dynamite for legiti- mate purposes, but who could have bought it for cash, or could have ar ranged for credit for 1t. It seems credulous to believe that this dyna- mite theft was for blowing up stumps in clearing land or for such other legitimate uses"

London, Jan. 5,-The British prime minister. David Lloyd George, today set forth Great Britains war aims more specifically and at greater iengt. before the delegates of the trades unions than he had ever done before.
 Having first declared that 1t was not war of aggression against Ger many or the German people, nd that the breaking up of -le German peo- pies or the distintegratfon of their state was not one of the objects for which the allies were fighting, he Proceeded to mention the funda- mental issues for wich Britain and her allies were contending.
 First among these was the restora- tion of Belgium and reparation for the injuries inflicted
 Next came the restoration of Ser bia, Montenegro and the occupied parts of France. Italy and Rumania France must have Alsace Lorraine, and to this end, saic the premier, the British nation would stand by the French democracy to the death
 The question of Russia was touched upon, and Mir. Lloyd George said that Britain, as well as America, France and Italy would have been proud to fight by the side of the new Rus sian democracy
 But now Russia could only be saved by her own people. He de- clared an independent Poland an ur- gent necessity for the stability of western Europe.
 Rumania is to be protected and the British and other allies are with Italy in her desire for complete union of the people of the Italian race and tongue.
 Austria Hungary, he felt that while the breaking up of the dual Kingdom was no part of the allied war aims, 1t was impossible to hope for the removal of causes of unrest in that part of Europe unless gen uine government was granted

They then entrenched themselves with rifles and machine guns against the other German units. The Ger man military authorities have been powerless against the revolters and are trying to cut off their food sup plies.
