(By Associated Press)

MORALES, Ariz, March 2.-Burro beef is the latest addition to the list of foods brought to the fore by war conditions. In the Altar district of the State of Sonora, Mexico, burros are now being slaughtered for their food value. Sonora, while not directly in, terested in the war, has felt it's econ, omic effects. according to MexIcans af.. fiiiated with the state government.
 The burro of the Altar district ia said to be worthless as a beast of Bur. den' hence his use for food causes mn loss in other ways. The animals ara slaughtered at soap plant at sarae where the fat is reclaimed for use in soap making. the hides are taken for iariats and thongs, and the carossses are immersed in garlic bath which removes any unpalatable flavor.

STEPS n BE TAKEN
 AGAINST skACkERs
(By Associated Press)

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March D. Major General F., S. Strong, at Camp Kearney, Linda Vista, Cal, has sug- gested that some means be taken to frustrate the efforts of persons con- mitted to penal institutions to obtain short terms under the indeterminate sentence law where it may be estab- lished that the offender committed a crime ''solely for the purpose of escap- ing the hazards of campaign in the trenches"
 If under the terms of the indetermi- nate sentence law such offenders se- cured their release in a short time, General Strong wrote Governor Ste- phens, it would be precisely what they wanted, and in addition it would be unjust to those who are willing to go to the front in their country's service.
 Governor Stephens referred the sug- gestion to the state board of prison dt- rectors.

BUILDING TRADES UNIONS
 STAND BEHIND PRESIDENT

VISALIA, Cal, March 2.-Patriotism is to be the keynote of the annual con vention of the California State Build ing Trades Council which convenes in Visalia, Monday, March IS, for the 1918 six day session. President P. H. Mccarthy of San Francisco, is expect ed to devote almost his entire opening address to the war situation and the part labor of California and the entire country has to play in the struggle against autocracy.
 According to tentative outline of the program now in course of prepar- ation the council is expected to un- dertake a series of important discus sions which may lead to the formula tiOn of plans for the better solidifiCa- tion of the trade council and it's many thousand affiliated members behind the unreserved prosecution of the war At it's last meeting at Santa Rosa the state organization went on record squarely behind the government in the crisis then existing between the United States and the central powers and according to reliable information, the session may be expected to carry forward the ideas advanced at that time
 Between 400 and 800 delegates rep resenting almost affiliated trade in California are expected at this meet ing which, according to information, will more than likely prove to be one of the most inspiring and demonstra- tive gatherings the council has exper- fenced in several years due, primarily to the war situation which leaders have declared must command the at- tention of every laborer at this hour.
 Elaborate preparations are now be. ing made for the entertainment of the visiting guests in which plans all Tu- lare county is assisting. Several ban quets for the visitors are in prospect as well as dancing parties and auto- mobile trips.

CONDITIONS IN GERMANY AS SEEN
 BY PRISONERS
(By Associated Press)


 LONDON, Feb. l (by maiD.-AIl England has been stirred by the re- turn of 360 soldier and civilian prison CTS of war from Ruhleben, Germany, some of whom are fishermen who were surprised by the Germans in the North sea immediately after the declaration of war and had therefore been prison CTS almost from the first day of hostili- ties
 It is not because of the stories they tell. for their lips have been sealed so far as their own sufferings are con cerned by order of the government. The remark of one of the civilians to an old friend who met the party. "We are fairly all right, but we have all got barbed-wire fever" is said to contain the whole story. Englishmen know what that means and there is nowhere any desire to reverse the government order
 Barbed-wire fever is the nervous strain that is telling with increasing fOrce-especially in the case of the older men, who cannot take so much eXercise-upOn the hundreds of men who have spent over three years on that unhappy race course, says the Manchester Guardian. They were bit terly disappointed that the attempt of the government to abolish Ruhleben altogether by an exchange, however it might advantage the Germans, came to nothing, and many of the repatri ated men are convinced that there may be an increase of mental cases if Ruhleben continues much longer. You could see the marks of nervous excite ment on many of the faces, and prob- ably the reaction from being set free will be felt severely by the men of more sensitive minds.
 From few of the civilian prison. CTS something of the condition of af- fairs in Germany was Iearned-illus- trations supporting the general i'm. pression, according to the Daily Tele- graph, "that the war has entirely changed the conditions of life in the enemy country, which has ceased alto gether to display that air of cheerful prosperity which characterized the Germany of peace days'
 Germany, it was said, presented the appearance of a country under a blight"
 T was very much struck when trav- cling through the country" said one of the men, with the dead look of everything. Even in one of the great towns through which we passed there seemed to be little going on, and the railway stations were almost entirely deserted. On the line between Span dau and Hanover we did not see a single passenger train, and the goods traffic appeared to be negligible. The fields were devoid of cattle, and on the whole journey I saw less than a score of sheep"
 Other men with observant eyes had come to the conclusion that the fuel shortage in Germany must be acute, because, though the weather was bit. terly cold, smoke was rarely to be seen issuing from chimneys. Another thing that struck them was the extent to which women are doing work on the railways. They were. seen acting as firemen on locomotives and as plate layers.

on fire. The decks were quickly lit

confusion most of the poor fellows
aboard were drowned.
The submarine again attacked us
and we kept up our fire until we real
