 Representative Sherley of Ken lucky said he had made suggestions to the military authorities and to the Red Cross as to plans which would keep the soldiers in money who had not received the pay due them, but that these suggestions evidently had not been carried into effect.
 q agree" he said, "that there is no possible excuse for any large num- Der of such cases happening. Here and there, of course, they are bound to occur, but the system ought to be such as to make numerous cases im- possible"

IF ARIZONA FAILS IT
 WILL BE FIRST TIME

PHOENIX, Dec. 21.--With only seven more business days in the year most of the counties in the state are making special effort to secure in- vestors in War Savings Stamps in sufficient amount to bring Arizona up to quota for the year. Exact figures at this time are lacking but even with the hard work done in several coun- ties so far this month it is known that more money will have to be invested in Baby Bonds in the seven remaining business days than is usually expect ed 10 be invested in an entire month, if the War Savings Stamp quota for the year is to be reached.
 Yavapai county is the only one which has reached quota. Maricopa county, which had an intensive drive to reach quota last week, is about $120,000 behind the needed total for the year. As soon as the Red Cross Christmas roll call is out of the way, Maricopa county will again undertake a strong campaign to reach it's quota.
 Some of the counties are severely handicapped by recurrence of the i'm fluenza, but in most of the state the epidemic condition is so greatly inn proved that there are scores of work CTS able to take the field for last dash for the sale of War Savings Stamps as against one worker who could be counted upon but a few weeks ago.
 If all those who have given pledges to buy different amounts of w. s. s. by January would make good their promises Arizona would now be pretty nearly successful in reaching quota. If it does not reach quota it will be the first patriotic campaign since the war started in which the Baby state has scored a failure.

DEATH OF $. w. HODGSON.

On last Sunday morning at eight o'clock, on his ranch near Cliffs, s. w. Hodgson succumbed to attacks of influenza and pneumonia. His death is a deeply felt loss to long list of friends here and they unite in ex- tending their sympathy to the rela- tives who mourn for him today.

While there he mar ried and after a stay of few weeks moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The following year he came to Flag staff with his family and made his home here until his death. The first three years of his residence here he worked at his profession as barber in Leslie's barber shop. Since then he has been ranching three or four miles south of Cliffs. MT. Hodgson leaves behind him a father in Indiana, a sis- ter in Missouri, brother with the A. E. F. in France, two children and his wife.

SENDING SOLDIERS HOME
 WITHOUT THEIR PAY

Washington.-With thousands of troops returning weekly to the United States since the signing of the ar mistice, it has been learned that in many instances soldiers are arriving on this side, financially stranded, due to the failure of the government to send them their pay. Some of the men have not been paid for several months and are literally penniless. Others have merely missed connec- tions with their last pay, but are in nearly as bad shape.
 This condition was severely criti- cised in congress by Representative Mann, republican minority leader, when he said:
 "I think the department ought to pay the men who are in the army now up to date. I have a telegram here from West Baden, Ind, which reads as follows:
 "Several hundred wounded men ar rived at West Baden hospital. A large number are without any funds and say they have had no pay for many months. Cannot some plan be put in operation to give them money when they disembark
 "It is a scandal to send wounded men clear from the point of disem- barkation to southern Indiana, with money due them for months, and not cent paid to them. The war depart ment has informed me that if 1 would have telegraphed to them the names of the men they would endeavor to

 YET UNPUBLISHED

WASHINGTON.-Casualty lists ot the American expeditionary forces which have not been published, bu, which have been announced officially by General Pershing, had been reduc. ed at noon, December IS, to a tota of 66,S92. These, the war depart. ment announced, were classified as follows:
 Major casualties, including killed ir action, died of wounds, died of disease and died of other causes, 1880; wound ed, 64,S62; missing and prisoners $50.

SHEEP INDUSTRY INCREASES

Sheep increased 12.6 per cent in the United States from July l, 1917, to July l, 1918, according to reports of the bureau of crop estimates of the United States department of agricul- ture. The estimates of January 1, 1918, show 2,7 per cent more sheep than for the previous year. In. 1917 there was a net increase of per cent over 1916. The production of wool all so shows that the sheep industry has gathered impetus during the recent years. Estimates for 1918 show 527,- 921 900 pounds of wool were produced, as against 245,573 ,000 pounds in 1917. This does not include approximately 4S,000,O0O pounds of pulled wool for each year.

WOULD CONTINUE ALL
 COUNCILS OF DEFENSE

PHOENIX, Dec. 19.-National lead CTS who addressed the recent confer ence of state governors, which was held at Annapolis last week, strongly advocated the continuation of the sys- tenn of councils of defense in the states as agencies for vital work dur ing the period of reconstruction. Sec retary Franklin K. Lane of the De- partment of the Interior, in a tele- gram from the National Council of Defense to the Arizona State Council of Defense, is quoted as saying in part:
 "We in the Council of National De- fense have been intimately in touch with all sections of the country through the organization of the state councils of defense In our judgment, for this trying period which is to come, it is essential that you shall be able in the future, as in the past, to reach your own people with whatever message the national government may desire to send them. The women's councils of defense-all the activities in which women have been engaged should not be allowed to lag. I say this so as to emphasize what Secre- tary Baker said to you Monday.
 "We wish you to promote through every way you can, through legisla- tion, through the message you will carry home, the idea that the United States shall not disintegrate into so many individuals but that the organiz- ed effort which has been in existence throughout the war shall be maintain ed until we know that this war is over and it's effects are passed"
 It will be noted that Secretary Lane alludes to the address delivered to the same organization, the confer ence of governors, by Secretary Baker on Monday. One press service had quoted Secretary of War Baker as saying to the governors of the. states that he advocated the dissolution of state councils of defense and the wire to the Arizona State Council of De- fense which contained Secretary Lanes quotation already given, states that Secretary of War Baker was mis- quoted in the press news story from Annapolis. An exact copy of what Secretary of War Baker did actually say. which was along the same lines as Secretary Lanes remarks, is being forwarded from Washington to the Arizona State Council of Defense.

Didn't Know War Was Over.

A letter from Ralph Fair, infantry. man, somewhere in France, has just been received by his father, E. D. Fair. The letter was written on the 18th of November and while the or mistice was signed on the 11th, the writer did not seem to know that the war was over. Ralph says, like all others, that he does not want the Hun let down too easily, but the thing kept up until the coming generations will not have to do it over again.

MISSED VISIT TO FRANCE.

William Allen, member of the United States Engineering force, has returned to Flagstaff after an ab- sence of about two years. He is q son of John Allen, of Milton, and for merly was connected with the A. l. & T. Co. Mir. Allen was unfortunate when it came to getting across and into the big fight. His contingent got so far as to leave an Atlantic port but when only a short while out the influenza became so bad that they were ordered back, and the armistice was signed before they could get q new start. Mr. Allen will make his home here in the future.

Pulliam has. been in France about two months and got to the front after arriving there a good deal sooner than is ordinarily the case. His impression of France is that it seems a handmade" coun- try. The small, highly cultivated farms, the miniature villages with their stone houses and sharp gabled roofs, the once well-kept and tree lined roads give one very pleasing impression, he says.

 "The pacifists are the enemies Of righteousness. The internationalists are the enemies Of nationalism and Americanism.
 When peace comes let us accept any reasonable proposal, whether calling for league of nations, or for any other machinery which we can in good faith act upon, and which does really offer some chance of lessening the number of future wars and dimin- ishing their area. But let us never forget that any promise that such a league or other piece of machinery will definitely do away with war is either sheer nonsense or rank hypo- crisy"
