have drawn on China and Russia and there is no good argument why We
 should not do likewise. It should be understood. of course" that at the end of the war all such labor should re. turn to its home country and not be
 entitled to aCquir" permanent resi- dcnCe here. unless the customary eli gibility tests could be met. In short, this problem could well be met in the same manner as that observed by our farmers who have been permitted to import labor from Canada and Mex. iCo for farm work expressly. The gov
 crnment requires the farmers 10 pay the prevailing wages and to hold out 25 cents a day, the same to comprise a fund to deiray the expenses of the laborers return to his home country at the close of the war Why not adopt this plan in all our industries

A CRITICAL SITUATION

IL is estimated that America stands in need of additional man power ap- prOximating fifteen millions to hold her big war machine at its present momentum. How it is to be obtained is now the chief concern of the ad. ministration and the captains of in dusrTy. The work or fight" order will produce material relief, but not enough. Then 1t is to be assumed Schwab take hold of affairs, sufficient lost motion will be arrested to allow for an increase of at least few mil lion man power, But even that will leave a critical shortage, and the men charged with the responsibility of keeping the war industries running full speed are at loss for a plan to meet the emergency. It has been proposed by certain intrepid advo- cates that the government conscript all males. say from IS to 50 years of age, and put them to work under government direction. That, of course would speedily solve the problem, pro vided public opinion would indorse the plan. But it is too revolutionary in character to even be seriously con sidered at present, and the plan will have to be pigeonholed until day oi worse extremities than this.
 Another plan which is finding favor is that which contemplates the i'm portation of foreign labor for the dura ton of the war. England and France

ANOTHER INDUSTRY PARALYZED

When Barney Baruch. speaking for the war industries board. informed the American automobile manufacturers that they would have to curtail their production 75 per cent, he just about sounded the death knell Of the indus try. Commissioner Garfield had al ready put them on a 25 per cent fuel allotment, and the decision of the war board to put them on a 25 per cent steel allotment has brought many of these manufacturers face to face with overwhelming disaster At present it looks as though nothing can save the situation. unless it is possi- ble to convert the great automobile factories into war plants. Then it is just barely possible that the manu- facturers might be able to construct their own steel mills. but this will take tim" and credit. and the administra- tion may not permit it.
 The automobile makers quite natur- ally feel that they are being discrimi- mated against. However. the fact re- mains that the production of steel will have to pass all previous records from TOW on to simply supply the govern ment's war needs alone And as be- tween the use of steel for war pur- poses and it's use for the building of pleasure cars, the war board had no choice It would appear also that the manufacturers have themselves partly to blame for their present predica. that their product would eventually hay" to be curtaied. and urged to transform their plants so as to be able to engage in the manufacture of war essentials Had they respected this counsel they would be in better shape today tO weather the storm ahead.
 But it will not do to allow these great plants to go to the wall or re. main idle. They are all, by their very nature, mighty potential agencies for the making of war machinery. and . they should be so employed This should be done at the earliest possi. ble moment and in a manner that will occasion the least inconvenience and . injury to the manufacturers. There . is too much at stake to allow the big . industry to go to smash.

The first native AriZonian to lose
his life in France was an Indian, Mat

Phoenix as Matthew Juan, who was
killed.
He was a native Pima Indian and
enlisted in a Texas unit. He was
known in California as Lucky Slim"
where he was a baseball pitcher of
more than local reputation. He a
educated at the Sherman institute at
Riverside. Cal, aud was a survivor of
the Tuscania sinking en- route to

Many native Arizona Indians have

A majority expressed preference for
the navy, although many of them had
lived all their lives on the desert and
had never seen the ocean until they
enlisted.

Out in the sagebrush-covered wastes
of eastern Washington there has just
been tanned a big gas well, and devel-
opment work on the property is now
under way. The flow of gas was dis
covered three years ago, when a mis-
guided settler drilled for water and
had a four-inch pipe blown out of the
ground. A year later a passerby threw
a lighted match into the gas and for
Is months the well burned day and
night, a beacon visible for miles
around. A few months ago the old
well was capped, the gas used to pro
vide fuel for a modern drilling engine,
and an 18-inch pipe has just feen sunk
into the gas reservoir.

Lost one-Third of Electives.

Since the One Hundred and Ninety
seventh divisions entry into the battle
on June l IT'S losses have been very
heavy. and are estimated at about a
third of the electives Of June 2 and
so per cent of those of June 8.
Such a system of wear and tear en-
ployed for such a long period has
wrought havoc in the ranks OF the Ger
man army. The electives have suf-
fered heavily and every possible means
has been employed to obtain combat
ants with which to fill In the ranks.
The anticipated calling up of the
youngest classes took place some time
ago, almost at the outset Of the Of
fensive. The Germans have already
sent to the front the greatest part Of
the 1919 class.
According to the official bulletin of
the Fourth German army, issued last
May, in order to augment the depleted
divisions IL has been found necessary
to employ men of the auxiliary services
In the fighting ranks. II has also been
established that all Germans drafted
out are replaced by men of the aux
Hilary services.
There Is still another method which
the Germans finally resOrted TO. They
have had to break up and dissolve
whole regiments and. being unable to
reorganize the units which had suf-
fered too heavy losses and TO re-en-
force those that were still OF some
value, they decided on the fusion of
numerous regiments.
II has been said that the strongest
walls would crack If in order to fill
up its holes and ~crevlces other holes
were made and under pressure of a
violent shock would crumble alte-
gether. Critics point out that the al
lies will be in a position to deliver this
violent shock when enough Americans

One Division Traced.
Formed in June, 1916, this division
remained on the eastern front till Feb
ruary, 1918. After losing many of Its
best soldiers the division was brought
to the western front shortly before the
beginning of the March offensive with
out being in any way REINFORCED, GER
tain of it's regiments containing COM
panies of only 100 men. In May 1t oc-
cupied a section Of the Chemin des
Danes sector, there representing that
type of division which the Germans
call "front divisions"
It's participation in the attack of
May 20 has been clearly traced; dur
ing the night Of the 26th 1t sent out
numerous patrols to protect the work
of constructing bridges over the ALI
cite and at the same time to be within
a useful distance to participate in the
attack on the Chemin des Danes. The
stormlng divisions then replaced 1t at
the moment when the artillery prep
aration began.
In the evening Of the 9th the dlvi-
sion returned to G%randelain, north of
the Ailette, which 1t left again the
next day for the Vesle in conformity
with the movement of the troops which
preceded 1t. On the evening of the
28th 1t was at Vauxhertin, and arrived
at Cerseuil during the night. From
that moment, on account of the extern
sion of the divisions which preceded
1t, II began to send units into the first
line to fill In the gaps. On the 10th
it was at Joumignes and on the Both
at Bruyeres.
June l found the entire division In
the lines relieving tired troops In fact,
IL had entered the battle. 1t attacked
at BONES, then marched to Bussiares,
where II encountered French and
American troops and underwent cruel
losses. 1t was there, to the south OF
Chevy, that this division met the Amer
leans, to whom 1t yielded Veuilly and
Bussiares.
