If the Germans can hang onto their
western front, keeping the allies busy
with such great offensives as the pres
ent. while their propagandists strike
a different kind of blow behind the
lines In India. Egypt. China, Mexico.
or even Japan-then the great plan
for disrupting the world will be in a
fair way TO work out, they figure.
But only If the allies are kept too
busy; deceived into deceiving them
selves.
II the allies realize their danger and
work intelligently TO combat it the
plan falls down. 1t is this that is be-
ing urged upon our government.
The above is a picture OF the Ger
man program as seen by the experts
mentioned, They point TO the east as
the place Of greatest danger-not inn
mediately, perhaps, but in the near
future.
And they say:

With all the wartime activities Of Phoenix and the great Salt River valley with. all the money put into Liberty ponds, thrift stamps, Red Cross and "" war work, bank deposits in this city are over three million dollars ahead ot the exceptionally high mark set last year at this time. People in this val ley know that business is qood but even the best informed probably do not realize how steadily business is forging ahead in this section. Such figures as those quoted indicate better than mere WoHs how strongly this valley is swinging into its advancement stride.
 hat 1917 has been a great year in spite of the war, is the statement of the most conservative bankers, that 1918 will be as good or better is their opin- ion, based upon the belief that the i'm mense demand of war for men and material cannot help but keep indus tries going in every line. There is not a single product of peace but has its place m War. Copper from the Arizona mines must be produced in maximum quantity. Grain and feed must come from the fields. Cotton will be in great demand for fabrications of such sort al. automobile tires for military as well as peace purposes and even for the very wings of airplanes. Cattle and hoqs must feed the soldiers at the front and so on down the varied list of valley and state products.
 The United States has already floated immense war loans and Arizona did its full share in their success. Some bankers feared that these loans might reduce bank resources. but such has emphaticalIy proven not to be the case. They have merely served to place

in circulation in the United States i'm mense funds which have found their way through the channels of commerce back to the banks. This process will undoubtedly be indefinitely repeated in the year dawning today.
 In 1914 the bank deposits in this city were less than six and a quarter mil. lions. Today they are very nearly twice that sum. Thus is testified the pro- ductiVe power of this section and state and the overwhelming demand for the ], things it does produce. That this de- mand will be greater in 1918 than in 1917 is the belief of all bankers here who have carefully studied the eues- ton for they must know tho future as well as the past.
 In 1917 the valley came into its own m the production of long staple cotton ana for 1918 an acreage of about 100 900 m thus product seems practically as sured. Cotton yesterday-the best qualIty-sold at "A cents a pound, a prlce which spells fortune to all cotton raisers in the valley who have been successful in their product This vast business Is literally a creation of this valley itself and it will be thrice as great m 1918 as it has been in the year closed at midnight
 One of the most remarkable thinos to consider is the fact that there is not bank in Phoenix but has shown re- markable growth during the year just closed. They have been able to care for all their customers and for all demands and at the same time have increased their deposits by one third. This is a showing which fIatters business of the past and promises greater business ir the year of 1918.

EXPORTSEXCEED
 1913 RECORD BY
 GREAT PER GENT

The changes in industrial and com mercial conditions in , the United States resulting from war activities are Illustrated by a series of statisti- cal statements, compiled by the Na- tional City Bank of New York, show ing conditions of productions, indust- ry and commerce in the United States In 1917, compared with the preceding years, and especially with 1915. Total imports for the full calen- dar year 1917, according to the bank S statement, are 50 per cent greater in value thar in 1913 and exports Of domestic products 150 per cent great CT in value than those of 1913. The total foreign trade of the country is estimated in round terms at 5000. 100000 in 1917, against s4,25O,- 100000 in 1913, the total of imports and exports combined being thus more than double in 1917 that o. 1913.
 Imports of raw materials irf 1917 are more than double those of 1913 and exports of manufacturers are three and one-half times as much as in 1913. Foodstuffs imported are nearly twice as great in stated value in 1917 as in 1913, and food stuffs exported are two and one half times as much in stated value as in 1913.
 That these large increases are due in considerable degree to higher prices is evidenced by the fact that the raw silk imports in September. 1917, were at the rate of S5.59 per pound against s3.43 per pound in September of 1913; raw cotton, chiefly Egyptian, 42c per pound in Sep tember, 1917, against lie in Sep tember, 1913; manila hemp s322 per ton against s210 per ton; cattle hides 27c per pound against 19c.: goat skins 42c per poundNa gainst 26c. and clothing wool 46c per pound against 24c in the corresponding month of 1913. On the export side the con- trast is equally striking, wheat ex- ports in September, 1917, having aver aged s2.32 per bushel against 94c in September 1913; corn s1.s6 per bushel against 7Sc in the corresponding month of 1913; steel billets ss4 per ton against S21; sole leather 59c per pound against 26c; raw cotton 25c per pound against 13c and refined sugar 7c per pound against 4c in September. 1913.
 Imports from Europe dropped from SS65,000,000 in 1913 to $560, ,000, ,GO9 in 1917; while those from South Amer ica increased from s19S.000,O00 in 1918 to s5So.000,000 in 1917; and those from Asia increased from s2S1, 100000 to $74o,00000 and from North Amer ica, from s390,O00,00O to sSsO, 900 900. Exports to Europe jumped from s1.- 500,o00,0o0 in 1913, to 4.110,O00,O00 in 1917; to North America from s601, : 000.000 in 1913, to S1,210, ,000 in 1917; to South America from s147.- 100000 in 1913, to s31o, ,000 in 1917.
 Production of the staple articles of food and manufacturing materials show also large increases, with a very few exceptions, notably wheat and cotton; and even in these, the value of the 1917 product is. by reason of high prices, far greater than that of 1913. Corn production is more than 300O. ,0OO bushels. as against less than 2.5o0. 100000 bush els i1l 1913; sugar 2,250, ,0o0,o0 pounds,

The total value of mineral products is set down at approxi- mately s4.O0o. .OOO, 900 in 1917. against less than s2.5OO, ,O00. 600 in 1913; and the wealth production on farms in 1917, according to the Department of Agriculture figures, s21, ,oO0. 900. as against slightly less than sI0,oo ,ooo.- 900 in 1913.
 The result of this tremendous ir- crease in production and especially In the value of the product, is shown in the fact that the total money in circulation increased from s3.369.- 73S,oOO, July l, 1913. to $4,S50, ,3so. .oeo on July l. 1917, an increase of nearly 90 per cent; and individual deposits in all banks, national, state, savings, and trust compaIies, increased from s17,745,764 900 in 1913 to approximate ly s26 ,O0O, 900 00S in the correspond ing date of 1917, also an increase of nearly 50 per cent,

errors and our weaknesses. The only
thing that ever stopped Uncle Bill in
an argument was a dishpan, or some
heavy, blunt instrument clouted over
his brow, and in his younger days he
was some argufer, as his scars attest.
Here Is the case of the blind man in
San Rafael, CAL, who fell 40 feet on
the roof of his house, and found his
eyesight restored; Aunt Ellen, who
was bedridden for years, was the first
person to reach safety when the house
caught fire, and her bad hip has been
practically all right ever since; you
remember that crippled negro who
beat even the dogs home when the bear
charged out of the brush.
A lot of US have troubles that are

little real trouble we forget the smaller
ones. There is, perhaps, an opening
for sanitarium that will take Grip

cliff, or crack him over the head with
brick or a Crowbar-anything to wake
him up, make him forget his small

ONLY HUMAN BEINGS CRUEL
Proud Man the Sole Living Creature
Capable of Deliberately Infiicting
Suffering on Others.

A cruel person is one who exults In
the pain, mental or bodily, suffered by
another. Cruelty has its basis in anger
(and thus is related to the combative
instinct), though there is cold-blood-
ed form of cruelty which may be en-
joyed without any obtrusive feeling Of
anger, Henry Campbell writes in the
Lancet, London.
Cruelty, implying as 1t does self
consciousness-th ability to realize
the feelings Of others-is essentially a
human attribute. Children who Inn
pale frogs and eviscerate flies cannot
be said to be cruel, for they know not
what they do. Nor are the lower ami
mails cruel, seeing That they are wholly
unconscious of the sufferings of 9th
ers. Thus the charge of cruelty against
the carnIvora is unjust. These animals
generally destroy their victims out
right and in the rare cases (e. g., cat
and mouse) where they prolong the
suffering they have no knowledge of
the pain they are causing. When,
therefore, we stigmatize the conduct OF
the cruel man as brutal we wrong
the brutes.
The animal which attacks another,
and in so doing causes pain, merely
responds to blind, unthinking in
stinct; but man, proud man, who looks
before and after, is able to realize and
take pleasure in the pain he deliber-
ately, and by subtle means maybe, sets
out to cause. 1t is clearly absurd to
speak of his conduct as brutal"
Rather should we call it devilish, the
devil usually being credited with a
goodly share of intelligence. We must
cease to libel the brutes by designat-
ing the basest acts Of man as brutal.
AS matter of fact, they cannot be
charged with nonmoral conduct, see
ing that they are devoid Of self-con,
sciousness.

Killed. The male is fond of perching
on the tiptop Of tropical trees and

The natives in Africa find young
hornbills easily tanned. They dig the
birds out of the tree nests when quite
young and raise them on milk and
berries in their huts. When grown
the hornbill remains attached to its
foster parents and will eat out Of the
