SHlPBUILDiNG AT ALEXANDRIA,


The Rivet," an eight-page qJarto,
abolished in the interest Of the Vir-
ginia Shipbuilding Corporation, has
h.ade its appearance. 1t is prepared
with neatness and is illustrated.
George Simpson, of the Mold Loft,
contributes the following to the first
number:
Every man in the loft,
Although the job may look soft,
Is working right hard, and all
Are doing their best
Along with the rest,
Tic help build the "Gunston Hail."

Aid to us will send applause.
Sc let's hasten the day
When she'll sail away;
A span for the Bridge of Ships,
That we need to complete
Il we expect to defeat
The Kaiser and old Won Tirpitz.
The Virginia Shipbdilding Corpora
ton has now developed into an or
ganIzation of approximately 1900
members. This makes pretty good

ANOTHER CRUEL ACT

The German submarine has added
another horror to it's already dark
chapter. A dastardly attack, similar
to that which sunk the Cunard stearl-
or Lusitania, is reported upon the
British passenger steamer Galway
Castle. AS is generally the case, the
steamer was sunk without warning
many miles out on the ocean, and the
fiends who perpetrated the outrage
witnessed many women and children
struggling in the angry waters. I'm a
short time sea weeds. will have be-
come their winding sheets.
The news of this latest horror comes
at time when Austria, coached by
Germany, is seeking an armistice and
a peace parley. 1t will make the al
lies more determined to fight to a
finish.
The Kaiser is quoted as having said:
"Woe and death to those who oppose
my will. Death to the infdel who de-
MES my mission. Let all the enemies
of the German nation perish. God de-
mands their destruction" There can
be no peace with such fiends.
The shrieks of women and children
as they find themselves about to per-
ish has again been heard on the bosom
of the great deep, and their walls
have gone up to the God of Sabaoth.

HUN PEACE WINES

In extending an invitation to all the
belligerent Governments to enter into
no,-binding discussions at some neu-
trail meeting place, the Austro-Hun-
garian Government states that the OBJ
iect OF the conference would be to Sc
cure an exchange of views when
would show whether those prerequi-
sites exist which would make the
speedy inauguration of peace negotia-
tions appear promising"
The main object is to give the leu
tons a breathing spell, in order to pre-
pare for sitter resistance.
This latest German peace feeler, adj
yanced through Austria. it is officially
stated, best finds its answer in Presl-
dent Wilson's Baltimore speech deliv-
cred last April.
Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
fand triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world, and
cast every selfish, dominion down in
the dust"
That was the Presidents answer
and it is reiterated No one doubts
tha..it is the answer of all the trium-
plant Allies.
1t is suggested that Austria's
peace seems more important than
those which have preceded it, be-
cause it comes formally from one of
tie belligerent powers and is address
Jed directly to the others, but it is part
:and parcel of Germanys' peace often
,sive which has been in motion ever
since the failure of her last military
offensive It is the latest step in the
program OF which Won kuehlmann's
:sutteraacks, and Won Hertling's and
Eur:an's and Czernin,s and Delbruck's
have formed part. That it was made
with Germany's consent and approval
can hardly be doubted. Austria would
assaredly be glad to make separate
peace if it could thereby save its soul
alive-it did indicate its readiness to
make a separate peace. under certain
conditions, last year--but the recent
action of the great Allied nations in
recognizing the Czecho-Slovaks was
fair notice of their intention to dis
member Austria Hungary. Under the
circumstances it is easier to believe
that this action of that government
was not only consented to by Ger
many, but that it was actually dicta-
ted by Germany, rather than that it
was an independent movement.
As contemporary says. America.
unless we repudiate civilization and
abandon humanity and put premium
on savagery and brutality, can make
no covenanted peace, 20 peace by
agreement Or negotiation with Ger
many. 1t would be covenant with
hell, a partnership with infamy
Nor would such peace secure
peace, except so long as it suited Ger
many. We can Judge the future only
by the past, and to Germany sacred
treaties are scraps Of paper only. Ger
many's whole history is record of
national treachery, national bad faith
national dishonor, national murder,
and national infamy

PHOENIX MAN SAW
MUCH FINE WORK Of
LIEUT.. FRANK LUKE

Robert Boardman, writing from Bor
deauX, France, TO a member of The
Republican staff, adds another first
hand acknowledgement to the bravery
and intelligence of Lieutenant Frank
Luke. The letter is as follows:
Ny Dear Charles:
| am sending you the Plane News,
the official air service paper in France.
which contains an account of Luke and
his work. As saw Luke. and was as
sociated near him and with him many
times yer here, | feel like all praise
given to him is little. He was one of
the few aviators who went through the
school with a high mark. He eXcelled
in gunnery and was as daring as he
was brave. We talked over old times
many times and often of Phoenix and
the boys there. He never expected to
return to Phoenix. as he said. except
/ in box" The last time | saw him
was in Paris, just before he departed
for the front | was on the front at
that time, but came to Paris on a bust
ness trip. We bade each other adieu.
/ saying We would meet and celebrate
after the war. The last time | heard
| about him after was at Bar-le due.
where | met a group Of aviators who
said they had Just received word that
| he was missing They spoke of his
daring and bravery and fearlessness.

ROBS MAN WHO FED
HIM CLAIM POLICE

Upon the complaint of 2. C. Williams
his erstwhile friend Robert Halpin,
was taken into custody last night
charged with theft and base ingrati-
tude. Halpin was arrested at the
Hardwick hotel where the police found
him registered under an assumed
name.
Halpin is a recent arrival in the
city. A short time after coming to
Phoenix he. met Williams whom he had
formerly known in Douglas. To the
latter he confided the fact that Ire was
financially embarrassed. The other
promptly took Halpin to his home al
321 East Jackson street and for a
week furnished him with food and
shelter.
Then came the day when Williams
had only s92 left. Midnight, Saturday
while he was wrapped in slumber, his
money and Halpin disappeared Be
lieving that there was something sig
nificant i nthe absence of . both, he
notified the authorities.
Officers Strathy and Ellis were de-
tailed to the case and five hours later
succeeded in locating Halpin at the
Hardwick hotel where he was regis
tered under the cognomen of f. john
son. When searched at the police
station he was found to have $40. Is

CITY RING TODAY
School days are back again.

SchOOl days are back again
Several thousand school children of
the city Of Phoenix will find their
twelve weeks vacation ended abruptly
this morning, when every public school
in the city reopens, to finish the re-
mainder of the years session and
make up the time that was lost. For
the school board rules that, no matter
how much the children may desire
continuation of the vacation, school
must go on.
The school children will practically
begin all over again for the year to-
day, for only three weeks OF school had
been held when the schools closed on
account Of the influenza epidemic. SO,
to all itnentS, the children will have
full years work to do in the time re-
manning between now and summer.
In the grammar schools. classes VIII
be held. beginning at once, Saturday
mornings in an endeavor to make up
part of the lost time and the holidays
of the rest of the year are cut down
to almost nothing.
To take every precaution, however,
against a. recurrence of the influenza.
nurses will be held in attendance in
every class room in the schools to
watch for any indications of disease,
and the teachers will take every means
to guard the health of the pupils.
The high school will also resume
sessions this morning after being
closed as long, as the ward schools.
| The high school, however, will hold no
Saturday sessions as vet, waiting to
watch the effect they have in the
lower schools.

USE Of 14-|NCH GUN
TOLD BY UTAH CREW
LRepuh IN A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YO-,K. Dec. 29.-The story of
the success Of Americas land battery
of 14-inch naval guns, as told by mem
bers of the. gun crews themselves, was
given to the public here today, when
copies of The Big T." newspaper
printed on board the battleship Utah
were circulated on shore.
1t was the Utah's picked gun crew,
the newspaper said, that was sent
ashore to get the German super gun
which was Smelling Paris. The gun
was removed, it was said, before the
batteries could get into action. but the
navy men had the satisfaction OF
smashing away at the German line for
several months before the armistice
was signed.
The shells fired by the naval guns,
according to The Big u were almost
twice the size of those fired by the
Germans super gun, and were so pow
erful that on one occasion an eXplod-
ing shell hurled two loaded freight cars
from track to the top of a railway
station.
Another shell landed in hut where
100 Germans were watching a motion

troops later reached the spot, forty

ALARMING SCARCITY
Of TEACHERS HURTS
EASTERN SECTIONS

An alarming scarcity of teachers
throughout the country, and particu-
larly in the eastern sections is re-
ported. To relieve this situation, an
effort is being made to bring back
into the harness all those who have
forsaken this pursuit for other lines of
endeavor.
Pedagogues. public and private who
are not engaged in this occupation at
the present time are requested to call
at the office of the United States en-
ployment service and register. Situa
tions in which thy may exercise their
talents will be found for them with lit
tie or no delay. according to Frank
Brown, manager of the local bureau.
The call for instructors is made at
the instigation of the Chicago branch
which reports that there is a serious
shordtage of teachers in all parts of
the country. Each branch manager
is being asked to ascertain just how
many instructors. if any, are availa bic
within the radius of the various Of
fices. The professional section of this
service announces that it has innum
cradle vacancies that must be filled
Immediately in rural schools, city
grade and high schools. There are
also positions as principals. superin-
tendents, college and university pro-
fessorships waiting.
All qualified teachers not now ac-
tually engaged in the practice of their
profession are asked to enrol at the
government office at the earliest OPP
portunity. Special registration blanks
for this purpose have been received.
An especial effort is being made to
get in touch with those who have
temporarily abandoned the work but
who are DESTROYS of again undertaking
the task of tutoring the young idea.
