A RACE WE MUST WIN

It is well that Americans should occas- ionally hear words like those spoken by Premier Lloyd George at Edinburgh, when he referred to the present tense period of preparation for the coming battle in France as a race between Hindenburg and Presi- dent Wilson, and added the statement that after all America exertions we had not supplied to the Allies one-fifth of the strength which Russia collapse had added to the German forces in the West.
 If such a comparison IS for the moment disconcerting it ought also to be stimulat- ing as showing in the dearest manner the extent of the exertions we have yet to make before we can begin to think we are winning the race There are more than one-half million American troops in France. That IS as much as we know about the state of our present strength although we are permitted to expect there will be million men in the line by July. Mir. Lloyd George, however, evidently Is counting our troops and not our expectations, and II he based his statement on Secretary Baker figure of more than one-half million Americans in France he has notified us that Germany has brought no fewer than two and one-half million troops from the Russian front.
 That gives us some idea of the size of our job and of the nature of it. America help must be in men. Nothing will count now but men, men by the million. Not men next fall or next winter, but at once. Hin denburg will not wait one moment longer than he believes himself strong enough to resume his hammer blows, because ali his hopes are bound up in this summer oper- ations. He knows that if he does not get to the Channel before America arrives he never will get there His next thrust for ward may be a matter of days only; it can not be delayed much longer. Every day and every regiment counts in this race, and ev- cry American must contribute all his ener- gy and all his prayers to speed it.-Kansas City Star.

I. A. HUGHES BACK
 FROM LEGISLATURE

T. 4. Hughes. representative from COchise in the legislature. .returned yesterday to spend Memorial Day in Bisbee. Mir. Hughes is a doer of things and not a tallser. hence he had but little 70 say Of the special session for nothing has yet been done by that body. He expects, however, that the session will continue for at least two weeks logger, and maybe three.
 lt is lis opinion that if Governor Hunt called this session in order to build ID political machine for the next election, he has called in vain. for the house is certainly opposed to the passage O. any measures except those calculated to benefit the coun- try in time of var and to strengthen ATizonls share in any war work The senate, too, has shown a disposition to place country first and politics in the discard. according to MT. Hughes
 That part of the Governors mes sage that attacked Bisbee so bitterly was i'll received in Phoenix by citizens generally. said MT Hughes, and all those politicians of the better class, who have the good of their state and country at heart these days All loyal legislators will oppose the building of Hunt machine this session and will try to force the passage of an anti wObbly resolution

MEMORIAL DAY IS
 OBSERVED BY MANY

i Recognition of Americas Memorial Day. that patriotic occasion of the past and doubly-patriotic occasion of the present, brought out yesterday morning several hundreds of residents of the Warren district, who joined III the Memorial services which had been prepared for the day. The exercises opened at 9:S0 o'clock with a parade, and concluded at about noon. follow ing suitable and fitting program at the city park
 Judge $. w. White, of Douglas, an attorney made the principal talk Of the exercises at the city park. His words recalled the reasons for the recognition of the day, recited the memorials of the past, and were direct and to the point A great sum of logic, mixed with a small burden of rhetoric, marked the address, which closed with an appealof patriotism, an appeal that everyone be patriotic at an times, not just when the oanu is playing or the speaker is throwing himself into the climax of his Orati0n. Universal. overwhelming, perpetual patriotism was his plea of all Amer jeans for the speedy winning of the war.
 The parade which preceded tae pro Sram at the park was typical of ;he day. Grey headed veterans 0. the Civil war, less aged veterans of the Spanish American war, and the youths who today wear the khaki Of th5 United States army. marched in the procession. The Calumet & Arizona band furnished music for the occasion. playing later at the park.
 The Memorial Day prayer was of fered by Rev. C. H. Compton The audience sang America" and the band closed the program. Cullen A Gain presided at the exercises.

Bisbce observed Memorial Day with due reverence and kept brave heart while news of reverses on the western battle front continued to come over the wires. To the music of the band and with flags flying she marched to the city park and heard 5. C. White, the Douglas attorney, deliver the Memorial Day oration. All day long men and women carried flowers to the Lowell cemetery and paid a last tribute to the dead. We are just entering the Great War today. A year from now Memorial Day will have deeper, stronger meaning than ever it has had before But the nation IS prepared for the sacrifice and ready to pay the great price for its ideals. Seriously and calmly 1t listened yesterday to the words of its orators and steadfastly it looked to its flags and proudly it thought of its tradi- tions Our work is before us, but we paused for a moment yesterday and looked back at the past with its sad and tender memor-' ies The bravest are the tenderest; the loving are the daring.

The loss of the Chemin des Danes and Soissons is a severe blow. No discounting it. Rheims, too, may fall, and other i'm portant towns and strongholds. Back bends the allied line twelve or fifteen miles at one point The initiative lies still with the Prussians and only bad news comes over the wires. But with the coming of reserves to the threatened points the ad- vance has been checked and the allied line still presents an unbroken front. But there is no disguising the fact that these are dark days for loyal men, and courage and resolution are needed to face the facts of the Prussian advance westward at every offensive Strong and thoughtful men among the allied leaders are looking to the 1919 campaign and planning it right now. Not until then, it Is believed, unless the unexpected happens, will the offensive re- vert again to the allies.

There is to be some explaining done by the local draft boards of eleven If ArizOna'c counties regarding a discrep- ancy in the number of men sent by this state to camp Monday. The num- Der entrained is 267 less than the num- Der ordered out by the provost marshal generals office. that number navlng been arrived at from reports from the local boards as to the number of men examined and accepted in class one. This number reparted did not include delinquents. emergency fleet men, men in limited service or men with remc- dial defects.
 Santa Cruz county just filled it's quota by and Pinal by ,. In only one of the other counties was the number of men in the quota entrained.
 The adjutant general has asked the local boards of the eleven counties for an explanation. One reason why the shortage is apparent, is that inasmuch as all the men of Class 1 were taken there were no alternates from whom to make ID the quota. But the short age itself may have occurred in two ways: One by the desertion of men who had been ordered out Also the local boards may have granted men an extension of time for occupatiOnal reasons. something the boards are not authorized to do.
