Le CateLet- JOnCOuTt

Never in this war have we seen keener or braver soldiers or more intelligent, high minded men than the two American divis- ions in the fighting north of St. Quentin " Thus wrote the correspondent with the British forces for his paper in London And he has.seen all of them. Seen the Scot in his kits go forward to the skirl of the pipes to storm the very gates of hell. Seen the Irish at Guillemont where no human force could stay them Seen the Canadians and Australians perform prodigies of valor and score dashing triumph after triumph. Seen the Poilu through four years of glory. Seen the famous guards regiments of England and her Devonshire and Yorkshires and Lancashires; seen the Londoners and the Welch and the men of Hampshire who fought on and on after they were beaten and took the trenches and who held posi- tions to the last living man. Yes, this vet eran correspondent had seen them all. Seen the bravest of the brave. And, after the three days battle of Catelet and Joncourt, he was moved to speak as quoted above of the Americans Brigaded with the dash ing and wonderful Australians, the U. 5. troops were vertically on the same leash with the very dogs of war. We had won some small glory in France already this year In the little pickering on the Marne we had part We smelled powder under Mangin on the Ailette, and that scuffle be- tween the Argonne and the Mouse is still lively affair and all our own with horde of husky Prussians barring the way. But to have had the honor to fight with the Australians between Cambrai and St. Quentin. ah, that is to pluck the rose of fire from the very breast of Glory herself, robed in a dazzling flame that will never dim before any light less bright than the Final Dawnl

lurch." When state tickets were be- ing named for the primary election, action was started by Andrew Bau- inert, secretary of the Arizona repub- lican committee, to prevent Secretary of State Sidney P. Osborn from includ- ing the names of any candidates for that office or the state ticket. The matter was already in court and a decision handed down by Judge Ly- man of Maricopa county was in accord with the view of the republican state cOmmittee-that there would ESt be a vacancy on the tax commission next year.
 Mr. Kerby Named
 The case has since been appealed to the supreme court, where a ruling is expected within a comparatively short time. Rather than forego the pOssi- bilities of the decision of the lower court being reversed and not having a candidate in the field for said office, the state committee. this morning named Kerby as its candidate.

The BeLgiians

Do not overlook the Belgians They have thrust forward ten miles into the heart of the Prussian lines that protect that triangle of Lille, Menin and Roulers, forming the most populous and richest section of Elan ders and comprising an anchor of the entire, northern line and the Belgian sea bases as well. Consider, the British fought last sum- mer and fall for three months for the Pas schendaele ridges, trying to reach Roulers, and here the gallant little Belgian army, aided by General Plumer's British forces, has, in three days passed the terrible Pas schendaele ridges and reached Roulers it. self Thousands of prisoners have been taken and hundreds of guns, most ot the latter pieces of large calibre. This IS one of the striking triumphs of the war. It IS made possible, of course, by the desperate straits of the German at Cambrai and Laon and in the Champagne where he has massed his entire reserves But nevertheless he has many thousands of good troops in Flanders where he must protect vital spots This Belgian-British drive promises the cap ture of the submarine bases Tn Belgium and the evacuation of Lille, Menin, Robaiux and Lens and the recovery at once of no small part of Belgium. Onlyaby terrible sacrifices and the most desperate fighting can the Hun save his lines here in the face of the present menace of the B.-B. spear head. And how must those Belgian soldiers feel, after four years of exile, oppression and wrong, to be able to repay their hor- rible foes with shot and steel and death and defeat Verify, these are the days of the Belgian and the Serb. Nothing could daunt them. Fighting still like David's mighty men of valor, after four years in the black shadow. Brave hearts like these can never fail of their reward Lo, far have they wan dered in the night time, but now they re, turn to their home and little ones at the dawn.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
 ENDORSED
lDouglas InternationalO


 One of the pleasing paragraphs in the democratic platform adopted in this city yesterday was the one which endorsed the county administration during the past two years. It was deserved compliment paid to honest and efficient public officials.
 The public business of the county has been we'll managed; official duties have been performed so promptly and efficiently as to win the party applause.
 The great burden of county government is always on the board of supervisors and we think the members of the present board are due the party praise for the able man. ner in which they have handled the road work of the county. A vast amount has been accomplished in the matter of road i'm provement in every section of the county A system of more permanent road improve ment has been inaugurated which we hope to see carried forward without any hesi- tation on the part of the incoming board
 Vance Johnson, John Rock and M: Sparks have served their county well and they are entitled to the endorsement given them in the democratic platform.

ASHURST TRIES AN ANALYSIS OF
 THE PRESIDENT
SAYS WILSON NOT EASY TO SIZE UP; MOST sUccEssFUL OF ALL DIPLOMATS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 2.-Senator Ashurst has attempted an analysis of President Wilson in a letter to a po-
 Iitical associate in Arizona. That he | thinks well of the president Is lndi-
 cated by the following excerpt from | the letter:
 ''The president is not an easy man to size up, and he has confounded
 many shrewd diplomats and oblique | politicians (who always assume the ether fellow has cards up his sleeve) ! by simply dealing in a direct way with them. By dealing direct his very can dor has made him the most successful of all the diplomats. Until I saw his career I did not believe it possible
 for any man to reach such a peak of Cminence ana then sustain himself so easily amidst dizzying heights to which his talents and world events
 Lave projected him.
 He is exposed to Obsequious adula- | tiCns, yet has escaped the big head; ne is bold, yet wary and cautious. He has been subjected to manifold em' barrassments and many false lights are daily set out to lure him. Then
 again he must work with such mate rial as he can find and some of the
 materials in both houses of congress are weak sticks and spavined steeds, Although he has not as yet been sub jectsd to the hideous abuse that was heaped upon Lincoln. it is tragical to know that so many obstacles and thorns have been placed in his path by politicians seeking partisan advan- tages.
 He possesses Washington's dis eliminating judgment of men, Jack sOnian iron will, and he can grasp sit nations and psychologists with more than a Rooseveltian rapidity. His speeches ring in every city of the kworld and in the remote foreign ham, lets ana villages the peasants repeat and believe his words.
 He is the greatest moral force of modern times; even of all times. so far as profane history is concerned. Whether or not he is a child of desti- ny it is useless to inquire. Whether the legerdemain of fate has directed his course and career and he has moved as fate's commanding finger decreed and bade him move, or wheth- CT uC tlSdAlg AOi esq" eAAi 'ho1 ""Si all that is and all that is to be, can not at this time be more than a wild conjecture.
 According to my size up of the man the things which make him the colossal figure that he is are his ab- sOlute fearlessness, his power to in- terpret facts and find out what they mean and his hatred of tyranny. Ii he did not possess the power to in- terpret facts and know what caused them and what in turn they would
 cause, he would not be able to detect
 the clear call of duty amidst such a bedlam of strident voices as are now filling the sky"

STATE TICKET IS ENDORSED BY
 THE DEMOCRATS
PARTY WILL TAKE DECIDED Ac- TON IN REVISING PRESENT PRIMARY ELECTION LAW - PLACE CANDIDATE FOR TAX COMMISSIONER

PHOENIX, Ariz, Oct. 2.-Resolu- tions endorsing the entire state ticket including Fred Colter for governor, and calling upon all county commit tees to inaugurate a fight against the present primary laws, were adopted by the state democratic committee at It's final meeting at Patrick's hall.
 A resolution naming James J. Kerby, present county assessor of Greenlee county. as democratic candidate for the state tax commission was unani- mously adopted, together with a resO- lution expressing gratitude and appre- ciaticn to the Arizona press which has so Loyalty supported the party.
 Action Practically Unanimous
 Endorsement of the state ticket was practically unanimous, all of which was widely divergent from expecta- tions. It had been rumored that a storm would break inethe committee when the matter of endorsing Fred | Colter, as democratic nominee for gov sernor was introduced because of the question of his eligibility to serve in | the event of his election. But the mat | ter seemed to have been carefully ron | ed out and there were only muffled mutterings when the resolution was read

Never since the world cooled from mol ten mass has there been such terror, chaos, upheaval and destruction in one given spot as that of the past three days and nights in the fifteen mile sector between Cambrai and St. Quentin The hardest, most bit ter and ferocious fighting of all the great war has taken place there, and in this strug- gle the Americans, nearly one hundred thousand strong, have taken glorious part. The flower of the modern worlds man. hood was matched here and the stake was death British force, French dash and American courage beat invincibly against impregnable positions held by German dog ged resolution that bordered upon despair. It would be silly to deny to the German troops in this sector their just dues, and it would detract from the allies exploit and heroism Many Prussian regiments fought to the last man. Their cause can be ques- toned but not their courage. But the final result was inevitable.

GENERAL WOOD IS NEEDED

(From the Pittsburg Chroncle-Teleg raph)
 The command of the Siberian expedi- ton calls for not merely military skill and experience It demands administrative qualities of the highest caliber, consummate tact and the capacity to take a broad, com prehensive, statesmanlike view of things. The commander will be confronted by many delicate and perplexing problems. He will have to consider not only military ad- vantages to be gained, but how best to aid our new partners without stirring up fresh animosities. He will be diplomat as well as a soldier.
 For such position General Wood is con spicuously fitted by training and experience and natural trend of mind. As military governor of Cuba and of Moro Province in the Philippines he achieved notable record as a wise, firm administrator. There is no question as to the discretion and abil- ity which he would bring to such posi- ton as the command of the American mili- tary force in Siberia.
 Why has General Wood been passed up" again2 What is this wonderful mis- sion for which the administration Is reserv- ing his talents? The admiration and re- spect of the American people for General Wood are as strong as ever, and 1t does not seem that the administration can much longer ignore the force of public opinion.
