Sabotage and the War

We can hardly agree with the senator from Yuma that bill to prohibit and punish the practice of sabotage Is not war measure and is therefore not within the governors call. Inasmuch as all industry and especially the agricultural and copper mining Industries have to very large extent been recog- nized by the federal government as necessary to the conduct of the war. any interference with them is an obstruction 10 the the war and there fore 1t would seem that any legislation designed to prevent such obstruction is legislation
 Arizona is the largest copper producer of all the states of the union and copper production is a industry. Interference with it by means of vio- ence advocacy of violence is interference with our part in the It would appear therefore that any legislation that could have the effect preventing this interference would be far useful than most of the proposed legislation to which such objection that nterposed by the senator from Yuma has not been offered
 The crime of sabotage. in the opinion of citizens generally. and. suppose, of the members of the legislature. is more likely to be committed, by the l. W. w. and persons who sympathize with the I. w. W. We may say that the legislation is especially advocated sabotage and practiced it, of whose members were deported from Bisbee and other mining camps last summer. We suppose that but for these circumstances there would be objection to the

NERVES OF GERMAN PEOPLE ARE ON EDGE

Though it is difficult to obtain accurate informa- tion from any one of the refugees coming from Ger many, still the total of their impressions makes interesting account of conditions in Germany day The little sdeghts the situation and the character of the peoe lead to conclude that it is the nerves of the enemy that bear the closest watch. As one American remarked
 Tt is not that there is food than there was year ago which is important, but that the power resistance of the people is less There more mur- ders robberies and suicides in Germany today than ever before in her history.
 His conclusions substantated by the brief nouncements in the press. About year ago all such notices suppressed. but today the court records are published and the epidemic of crime is not fined to the large cities It reaches far into the smaller communities. especially in tthe villages where the peasant women live, secluded with their large families.
 It is indeed a pitiful record of weakening which the newspapers print today Realizing this condition the government now permits the cafes to be open ontil II o'clock at night, and in every large cafe there is an orchestra Music seems to be the one diversion the people crave Cafes. hotels, the aters anad restaurants are reported crowded
 Everyone seems to be on the streets or away from home" said an American woman. T suppose many of them hunting for extra food or clothing because despite the card system so many things can be bought under the hand. This year coal Is so scarce that coal cards now given out There is also gas shortage and the people are permitted to cook only during certain hours of the day In Vienna theey have gasless days. The quantity as well as the quality of the is and the city authori issued special warning to the people about shutting off their gas because the escaping gas has poisoned many people,
 One of the recent arrivals from Germany brought a card with this text:
 Who does not wish that 1918 may bring peace!
 Ask yourselfi
 Sacrifice your pearls and precious stones upon the altar of the Fatherland.
 Go to the gold purchasing bureau, where the gov ernment pays the highest foreign prices. . The imperial Geman bank is not only storing gold, silver platinum in it's vaults. but diamonds pearls and other precious stones The only precious articles the government is not demanding the imperial decorations.-Carl w.

DAN KLE|N|MAN |S.
 SELECTED MAYOR

MESA, June 11.-Dan Kleinman has been selected mayor of Mesa. The rest oe the councilmen combined against the bluff, unsuspecting old timer and made him mayor of the city and every voter in town appears well satisfied with the selection. A stated before in this column, the mayors office has gone begging. But the business of the live southside metropolis was fast ac- cumulating and so they slipped it over on kleinman.
 MT. Kleinman is owner of the Mesa livery and feed stable, a former coun- cilman, thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the town, perfectly plain and outspoken for what he believes to be right and honest. The universal opin- ion is that the selection is a wise one. Mesa is fortunate also that it has seven men on the council, any one of whom would have made an excellent mayor and all of whom will pull steadily together for the success of the community

 America has come into the war with the allies. She has generously brought the aid of her army, of her resources, cf all her industrial and commercial power. These are sure pledges of victory
 But she had already done still more by her benificence. The American Red | Cross has from the beginning of the war rendered great services to our country, whose people and whose | property have suffered so much Her active and fruitful work has dressed many wounds. Her discreet activity has been felt in the two great spheres | of suffering.
 France will keep the never to- be- forgotten memory of the impulse which has brought Americans to the l 6Sid of har | Every battlefield of France speaks eloquent testimony of the merciful work of the Red Cross," says Newton D. Baker, secretar yof war. The terrors of battles are decreased and the hor- hors it entails are minimized by this greatest of relief agencies. No sup port which the American people give to it will be misconceived or mis- | directed --..
 The American Red Cross, ever prodi- gal in it's giving. has ignored no out stretched hand in France No appeal has been made in vain to it's lavish charity, and the refugees that have poured into France by the thousand have been the object of its special aid and succor. Recently, to the Comite | d'Arc, Rouen, the American Red Cross made a gift of 15 crates of clothine and toys for the refuge children.
 In the Departement des Hautes Apes, the American Red Cross has given material assistance to one hun. dred families affected by the war.

OffensiVes and Defensives

General Fochs statement that victories can be only by offensive can hardly be regarded as a revelation. To the layman even, no other way of winning victory would occur. A defensive has now and then so broken offensive to pave the way for victory. That happened at Gettysburg. Again, when at the last gasp enemy has thrown his whole force into offensive and is defeated he is in the position of the assaant who has Intellectually emped his gun and is out of ammunition in the face of an antagonist who has reserved his fire If the an- tagonist fires that is if he takes the offensive the victory Is won
 The truth stated by General Foch was probably recognized old when fought with stones and clubs Modern warfare has not in any way modi fled it. An enemy with reserves be beaten by being repulsed. No doubt Hindenburg and Ludendorf in full accord with the French general ssmo in this matter. It is quite probable that the offensive, begun March 21 and still persisted in undertaken the theory that which has just been restated by General Foch.
 It has always been understood that In offensive the enemy suffers more than the defender. ellis at triton is greater than that of his adversary and under former methods of warfare sometimes so great to leave him weakened and susceptible to sue cessful counter offensive But under the new system the attrton of the offensive is not proportionatey so great formerly Before the attack is now made there is bombardment that lays down blanket after blanket of shells territory miles in extent It would that living thing could exist within it. The advance is made when the bombardment ends and the of the attackers subjected only to the fire from machine gun nests and from such trenches survive the bombardment and such forces the enemy hastily rush forward from the to meet the advancing Those forces, it be seen, have advantage of position the attackers and the atrition during this stage of the battle is likely to be great side the other
 So in of this kind attrtion cannot be counted upon and brought back to the predic- tion of the experts at the beginning of the though the experts themselves probably did not then understand on what good ground their prediction based, that the could be won only by the destruc tion of the enemy. Destruction can not be accomp-
 shed in defensive operation.

SUICIDE ASKS.
 FLAG BURIAL

Wrap the Stars and Stripes around my body" wrote H. R. Bushong in q note to P. H. Brown and ". P Smith which was read at the inquest held be- fore Coroner De Souza yesterday.
 This was his farewell to his friends before he fired the shot which ended his life on Saturday afternoon. Coronor De Souza and the jury visited the scene of the suicide Saturday night just be- fore midnight in the South Central avenue field where the body was found earlier in the evening.
 In blood stained envelope was tho note, dated May H.. which indicated that the horse and mule buyer had con- tcmplated taking his life many weeks before he accomplished his desire. He wrote:
 "P. H. Brown and W. P. Smith:
 Wrap tre Star and Stripes around my body and see that l am properly buried. Find enclosed check for s250 and what money 1 have in my pockets. This check and pocket money are to be used by you for expenses as you see fit. The check for $50 goes to the Red Cross war fund.
 T have two brothers and two sisters. My brother Charles lives at POOP Lime avenue, Long Beach. Calf. Goodbye"
 Days later he added the postscript:
 This is the writing There's noth- ing later than above.
 III. R. BUSHONG."
 In his pocket was a receipt for s5 from the Red Cross and in a local bank is an account in his name of $700 and s100 in Liberty bonds.
 Smith. Brown and w. D. Dodenhoff, manager of the Kersting hotel where the dead man lived were among those who testified at the inquest, but the chief witness was J. A. Ivy.
 MT. Ivy stated that on various occa- sion Bunshong had asked to borrow his gun to go hunting. On Saturday he again asked for the gun and when Ivy gave it to him he inquired how to use it. He said that it would only be nec- essary to load it with one cartridge. Then he said to Ivy. I'm going out to look at the field" As he stepped away he left the gun at the side of the house and Ivy called his attention to it stating he did not want it left there on account of it's being in reach of his child. Bushong took the gun and walked away Ivy testified that he heard a shot but paid scant attention to it until evening when BushonS failed to appear and search revealed the body in the field.
 The jury returned verdict of gum shot wound self inflicted.

This is not partisan war but a national war" declared Captain George D. Christy, recently returned from Washington. D. c. in speaking of war appointments made by the chief ex- ecutive.
 Captain Christy stated that it made him more proud than ever to be an American when he noted the wonder full work being accomplished at the na- tional capital. He said that he felt a particular pride when he realized that party politics did not figure in the se- lection of big men for big positions.
 Captain Christy said that speeding up the war expressed the condition as he found it in the east.

THE STAGE DRIVER

Butting through chucky road, Struggling with weighty load, With relief he heaves a sigh, At the line of Yayapai. He whistles now when surely past, Maricopa's roads where safety's last Bright his eye and glad his song, As he smoothly bounds along. Sad it is that perfect joy Cannot live without alloy Return he must upon the morrow, And navigate those roads of sorrow To sober second thought he turns And a needed lesson then discerns: The fault lies partly at my gate, For I'm Dub who votes her straight

WHEN WASHING YOUR CAR
(New York Tribune)

Never try to wash the car out ih the cold. Take it in where it is mod erately warm; then use clear, cold water. The cold water will help to harden the varnish on new car, thereby preventing abrasion. If you use any soap at all, use only a linn ited amount, as free acid or alkalai tends to soften tthe finish. Soak caked mud thoroughly with a small stream of water until the mud runs off with the fluid. Don't rub the mud off If it has frozen to the finish. keep on applying cold water until it runs away. Never use hot water. In drying the car, avoid using a chamois that contains any sand or grit.
