AirpIane Wrecks Train.

An airplane has often proved itself
more than match for it's antagonist
In an unequal encounter. A French
aviator once penetrated far behind the
German lines and Glanced upon a
heavily laden troop train. The speed
of his craft being fully twice that of
this unusual antagonist, it gave him an
advantage he was quick to use. The
airplane flew so low that it's machine
gun was brought to bear upon the cars,
raking them with disastrous results.
Still flying very low, the airman in
creased his speed and, on coming
abreast Of the locomotive, shot both
engineer and fireman. Left to itself,
the locomotive raced forward uncon-
trolled, and taking sharp curve at
high speed was wrecked with great
loss Of life.

Strict Prohibition Law.

Under the act of congress organic
ing the territory Of Alaska, the legis-
lature meets every two years. 1t did
not meet in 1915, but the legislature Of
1915 passed law providing for pop
ular vote on the liquor question in No
vember, 1916. At that election the
people voted by large majority that
from and after January 1, 1913 spir-
itous liquors should not be manufac-
tured, sold, transported or given away
anywhere within the territory. The
prohibition law thus to be established
by popular vote, notes an exchange,
probably will be the most stringent Of
any in the United States.

FIFTH LOAN PROBABLY
 BE FL0ATED IN APRIL

Notice that the country must pre- pare for another intensive war loan campaign, probably in the, latter part of April, was given this week by Sec retary McAddoo in latter to bankers explaining the treasury's program for floating certifictes of indebtedness and bonds during the next six months.
 The secretary stated that plans for continuous sale of government bonds, recently discussed as strong possibil ity, had been abandoned, and that plans should be made for "one more great popular campaign" Previously he had announced that the bonds to be offered then, would be of short matur- ity, less than ten year, and it has been indicated that the amount would be around five billions. Although MT. McAdoo did not state the time of the campaign, it was learned the treasury plans tentatively to hold it the last three weeks in April.
 Blocks of treasury certificates of indebtedness, ranging in amounts be- tween $500,000,0O0 and $75O,OOO,OOO, will be marketed every two weeks, be- ginning December 5, to provide funds for running the government until pay ments from the fifth war loan begin to come in, and these payments then will be used to pay off the certificates and every bank will be expected to subscribed five per cent of its gross resources monthly to these certifictes.
 The first issue of $6OO,OOO,OOO mini mum, announced today, may be sub- scribed between December 5 and De- cember 10, will mature next May six, and will bear 4 1-2 per cent. This rate is not considered as affording any indication of the interest to be borne by the fifth war loan bonds.
 MT. McAdoo also disclosed the fact that the governments expenses this month probably will run to a new high record of $2,000, 0,0O0,0OO, and that "the wise policy of prompt liquidation of contracts" may increase rather than lower the governments outlay.

CONCERNING DESERT|ON
 OF SOLDIERS NOW THAT THE ARMISTICE IS SIGNED

More drastic steps than have yet been taken will be taken by the fed
 eral authorities to prevent desertion
 from the army and navy during the period of demobelization. This word
 has come to the Arizona State Coun- cil of Defense with the request that the state council and the several coun- ty officials aid in every way possible in discovering any deserters who may come to Arizona and to immediately report their presence to the national authorities.
 In particular is the Arizona State Council of Defense asked to see that the civil population understands that assertion at this time is a serious blow a the final morale of the army and navy, something which must be prevent so tlat the demobelization period may be just as orderly as has been the period of induction into ser vice.
 All cases of desertion and draft ev- asion will be followed up and prose- cuted now that the war is practically over just as though the war was still going on. The extreme penalty for desertion is death. The crime is re- garded as one of the most serious in the catalog of criminal acts and the penalties will be as strictly meeted out now that the war is seemingly over as they would have been were the war prolonged. In fact, peace is not formally declared and the army, and navy are still upon war footing in every sense of the word.
 Families of soldiers and sailors are particularly urged not to do anything which would suggest to their members in the service that the war being ov- CT there is no need for further service. All the soldiers and sailors not need ed are to be returned as rapidly as circumstances will permit but this re- turn to civil life must be conducted in an orderly fashion and with the same highly sustained morale which has characterized the American fight ing men from the start of hostilities.
 All civilians who have suspicion that men they know to have been in service have deserted are requested to notify the Arizona State Council of Defense or their county council of de- fense so that a suitable investigation may be made by the proper authori- ties. Such information is regarded as strictly confidential but will be promptly acted upon.
 This request for information covers also cases of draft evasion for there is to be no let up in cases of men who have evaded their full duty under the draft laws of the United States.

NEED Of LEGAL ADVICE
 TO SOLDIERS GREAT AS EVER

Pointing out the greater necessity for legal aid to. soldiers during and immediately following the demobliza- tion period than when they were being inducted into service, the National Council of Defense has wired the Ari- zona State Council of Defense asking that plans for the continuation of free legal aid for the men in service be made at once.
 As most of the people of the state are aware, the attorneys of the state
 have periodically given advice and assistance to men in the service from the time they were mustered in up to date. They have assisted in mak- ing out the questionnaires for the reg istered, have given legal assistance to families of the men in the service and now they are asked to continue this fine practice for the men as they em- erge from the military to civil life. There is no doubt but that the patrio- tic attorneys of the state will readily comply with this request and new call upon their legal skill.
 In the telegram to the Arizona State Council of Defense the nation al body points out that Adjutant Gen. eral Harris of Washington, D., c. has requested the field division to ask the states to continue their legal aid com mittees to give free legal advice to returning soldiers under the civil re- lief act. The need for competent le- gal aid in the demoblization period is even greater than before, says the message, since the soldiers are pro- tected from litigation only so long as in military service while the soldier becomes a civilian in the eyes of the law two months before he ceases to wear a uniform. For this reason prompt action is necessary to secure full protection under the civil relief act. "This legal protection is duty the people owe the soldier," concludes the message from the National Coun- cil of Defense.
