JUSTICE AT LAST TRIuMpHs.

About one hundred leaders of the
so-called Industrial Workers of the
World, were found guilty by the fed
eral jury in Chicago of having con-
spired to disrupt the nations war
plans and operations by fomenting
strikes, sabotage, draft evasions and
instructions. The trial lasted 1873
days and everything was done in the
most complete and thorough way
Federal Judge Lands presided and
used the utmost care in protecting
both the rights of those indicted and
the government. Because of appar-
ent Irregularities he discharged one
jury and stopped the trial once be-
cause OF evident efforts made by the
accused and their friends to balk
Justice and force an acquittal by in
timidation. All the officers of the
court were on their best behavior and
the guards were doubled in all direc-
tons. United States attorney, Neb-
eker who had charge of the prosecu-
| ton and who declared that he had
lived with the case a solid year."
made the concluding argument
! against the defendants and declared
| that the documents issued by them
were themselves enough TO convict.
| This was correct statement and any
one reading them carefully and criti-
cally must come to the conclusion
! that the organization itself was an
| enemy TO the country. In addition to
all this there was presented to the
| court $4,000 pages of typewriter
testimony and all of perfect RELIABLE
ity. The jury had no room to doubt
in the case. The verdict was prompt
and unanimous.
1t had been proclaimed through
out the country by the l. w. w.
Socialist agitators that the conviction
OF these men would not be allowed.
Threats of violence We're made and
the evidences of plans to that end
were very visible. The famous mine

Secretary Haywood merely escaped

the influence of suborned witnesses.
The country accepted the verdict as
miscarriage of justice and right

society, when a United States sena-

newspapers made a martyr of him.

and yet the influences back of him
were so strong that it was impossible
TO condemn him. But no matter how
| long a lane may be it must have an
end and so that end has come.
And so, on September 18th William
! Haywood, the leader and secretary of

charges of violating the espionage

building in Chicago accentuated the
sentences and made it impossible for

FOUR INSTAILMENTS ....--
FOR LIBERTY LOANS

Ten per cent of the fourth Liberty
Loan subscriptions will be required
on application instead of 5 per cent
as for past loans. the treasury an
nounced at Washington Tuesday.
Twenty per cent will be due Novem-
Der 81, 20 per cent December 10, 20
per cent January 16 and 80 per ce 1T
January 80.
This is the first time more than
three installments have been ar
ranged in adStion to the payment on
application for any Liberty Loan. TIE
initial payment was increased as a
means of discouraging the practice
OF some persons in the past of sub
scribing without carrying out the in
staliments.
The setting of the last Install
ments of 80 per cent as late as jan
uary 80 was interpreted as assurance
that the fifth Liberty loan would not
be Heated before late in February Or
possibly March.
The initial payment, although due
at the time of pledging, need not be
paid until October 10, the end of the
subscription period and loan CAM
paign.
The installment dates will not in
te rfere with the practice by which
many subscribers have bought bonds
through banks or other agencies ard
paid 10 per cent month for approSi-
mately ten months. That arrange
ment, officials explained, is trans
action between the bank and its GUS
toners, and the treasury is not in
volved.
Iowa's quota for the fourth Lib
erty Loan has been fixed at $l47,-
900, 900, as against 81 100000 for
the third loan. Through change in
method of apportionments, the cities
will pay less than heretofore in pro-
portion, and the entire amount is
more equitably distributed through
out the entire state. Pottawatta-
ME county will pay $S,1S6,SOO; Har-
rison, S1,472.700; Mills. $9SO,OOO;

LANGUAGE QUESTION AN ISSUE

Orders have been received at
Camp Dodge to Immediately form
into classes all men who cannot use
or understand the English language.
The order directs that organization
commanders report to headquarters
the number of soldiers in their re-
spective commands who have not suf
ficient knowledge of English to
readily comprehend any instruction
given TO them. The order says
these men are to be classified by
the mother tongue into separate
groups or squads. The order at the
same time directs that organization
commanders submit a report show
ing the number of officers who can
speak languages other than English
and who are qualified to direct in
the various languages the enlisted
men so separated. Large classes of
enlisted men who could not speak
English have been given the instruc-
ton in reading, writing, elementary
grammar by the Y. NJ. c. A. educa-
tional branch working in conjunction
with the military authorities.

A NEW ORGANIZATION
FOR AUDUBON COUNTY

A Woman's Volunteer Red Cross
Motor Service Corps for Audubon
county has been organized with Mrs.
Myrtle Childs as chairman. 'Its pur-
pose is to furnish efficient and eco
nomical transportation wherever
needed by the Red Cross Chapter.
Chapter supplies will be called for
and delivered. Red Cross and civil
ian relief workers will be taken to
all parts of the chapter district.
Chapter officials carried on chapter
business. Red Cross and Liberty
Loan speakers carried to nearest
railway points, in fact, any war
service or important government I'M
dertakings will be attended to in SO
far as possible.
This motor corps service is
doubly valuable patriotic service as
it not only furnishes necessary trans
portation with little or no cost to
the chapter, but releases men who
would ordinarily be required for such
service. Women owning and operat-
ing their own cars are requested to
join this motor corps.
Those who have volunteered and
hold themselves ready with their

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. %
Mrs. Gertrude Schulz, acting presi-
dent of the War Mothers of America,
during the first annual convention of
that organization here, today re-
ceiyed a cablegram from General
Pershing in answer to one sent by the
convention pledging unlimited sup
port to the American expeditionary
forces. The message reads:
THE splendid example of patience
and bravery which American mothers
have set for their sons is a tremen-
dous inspiration to the American ex-
peditionary forces. In the name of
these troops. thank you for mes
sage which assures us of this cour-
ageouS spirit. "Pershing."

THE U-BOAT FAILURE.

The complete failure of Germany's
naval campaign is becoming more
and more apparent. She has large
fleet of modern war ships, but re-
fuses TO fight. Her submarine fleet
has done some work of military in
portance. but the plan as whole is
a dismal failure. The New York
World in commenting on the situa-
ton says:
1T would be disheartening to the
German people to know, if they were
allowed to receive the information,
that every six minutes merchant
vessel arrived at and another leaves
an American port, and from North
Atlantic sea ports one departs fer
Europe every forty minutes. This
does not include vessels in the serv-
ice of the army or navy. 1t does net
take into account the transportation
abroad of 1,750,00O American
troops, over 100000 of them in the
last three months alone"
The most disastrous failure the
world has ever known is Germany's
plan to starve the allies and prevent
the shipments of troops and supplies
to Europe.

GERMAN POSTER USED
BY L, S. IN LOAN DRIVE

A poster issued by the German
government in an effort to belittle
the war and bolster the failing spirits
of its people has been reproduced by
the Liberty Loan publicity bureau,
and 100000 copies will be distrib-
uted in this country during the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign,
which opens formally next Saturday.
Intended solely for consumption
within Germany, the poster will get
far wider circulation, resulting in
the enemy's publicity guns being
turned on him. The poster was for
warded by an American in Switzer-
land.
Can Americas entry make a de-
cison in the WARP" is the posters
title. And the diagrams showing a
small American army and small
merchant marine, the pamphlet in
ferentially answers, mo.
"Russia's army of millions could
not down Germany" argues the pos
ter. America threatens to send
transports of 100000 men, but it
cannot ship them.
These words are inscribed on a
scroll held by cadaverous looking
! Uncle Sam, alongside Russian sol
der appearing immense in compari-
son. At the time the poster was dis
played throughout Germany last
July. more than 100000 American
fighting men already were in France,
and this number soon will be
doubled.
"England's sea power and Eng
lands merchant marine have not de-
cided the war" says the poster.
America canont increase her gross
registered tons for 1918 by more
than 100000 or 100000 tons
our U-boats sink twice quickly as
America can build
These lines accompany a diagram
of Uncle Sam holding a toy boat,
contrasted with a big ship represent
ing England's merchant marine.
The poster also shows great fleet
OF ships, more than twice exager-
ated, represented as necessary to
transport a single regiment. A
French poster appealing to the
French to save food in order to has
ten the transportation of American
soldiers is reproduced by the Ger
man sheet, with the comment. "also
the allies are beginning to have their
doubts
Alongside the translation of the
German poster, the circular issued
by the loan publicity organization
presents statements of fact refuting
the enemy allegation and concludes
with Secretary McAdoo's assertion
that, "the Fourth Liberty Loan is the
barrage which will precede the vic
torious thrust of our army"

NO MORE GERMAN IN
 SCHOOLS OF ARIZONA

By an order sent out from head
 quarters German will not be taught hereafter in any of the schools of the state, and it is probable that the lan- guage will not be revived because of lack of interest. When the war is over, if the fighting passes the vic tory stage, there will be no necessity of the German language, as all the small principalities of the German empire will drop back into their own language or patois. And we never saw much use for other than the Eng fish language unless the student in- tended to enter upon some occupa- tion that made the study of languages necessary.

SCARED HUN JEERS
 AT J. s. AIR PERIL

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 16.-Appre- henslon that there will be extensive bombardments of German cities bv swarms of American airplanes have moved the Vienna correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt to seek the opinion of the chief commander of the Aus tro-Hungarian air forces. That off clal offered the following comfort to German city dwellers:
 "The American idea of constructinp number of standard type flying ma chimes with standard motors is absurd. Even if the Americans succeeded in combining the best features of the newest existing type by two-fold it would not follow that such a compo- site machine would be most useful in the European war theater.
 "As for the American threat that 10000 machines are coming over, every practical airman knows that it IS humbug. American machines ap- pear only sporadically on the west front and neither the men nor ma chimes are equal to the Germans.

Carlisle, Nogales; Leslie N. George, Clifton; Fred J. Hart, Globe; Wm. o. Hoogestratt, Prescott; Rev. Henry J. Matthias, Phoenix; Leo E.. Mckee, Roosevelt; Rev. Edward D.. Raley, Phoenix.
 This Is the fourth class of recruits for war work graduated from the the Southern Department School, the largest of it's kind in the country. Here, for three weeks the men under go intensive training in physical, edu- cational, religious and social work, that they may be equipped to aid in keeping the soldiers cheerful, and to minister to theil rests. The note of practical Christianity is emphasized throughout the course. The faculty is a strong one, being composed of A. B. Nicholl, formerly of the Boston Association, dean and instructor in Y. M. c. A. history and principlese; Dr. c. L. Neibell, formerly of Washington and Cincinatti, instructor in war work methods and Bible study; Prof. J.

WORK OR FIGHT" RULE BRINGS GOOD BASEBALL
 PLAYERS TO COPPER CAMPS
Tyrone, New Mexico, Has a Team Composed of Many Big Leaguers, Because of High Wages Paid at Camp

The "work or fight" edict as relat
 ing to baseball players has been pro
 ductlve of good men for some of the
 baseball teams of the copper camps
 ot the Southwest, for the selection ot
 thlsf kind of work allows the players
 to work and play ball at the same time. The night wages of the copper
 camps have tcen attractive to ball
 players, and the mining companies
 have been liberal in their support of
 baseball.
 The Baseball Club of Tyrone, New
 Mexico, where the Burro Mountain
 Branch of the Phelps Dodge Corpo-
 ration is operating, has recently been
 very fortunate in securing the ser
 wees Of Bill Pcrtica, who has made an eaviable reputation for youngster on the slab for the Los .Angeles team,
 Pertica will help produce copper, and will also make the men of the Copper League sit up and take notice.
 The Tyrone team has the reputation of being an unconquerable bunch of sluggers, and stand well in the lead ot the Copper League of New Mex leo, which includes Hurley, Santa Rita, and Fort Bayard, the two former Chino Copper Company teams and the latter a soldier team. The win ming of twelve successive games by the Phelps Dodge bunch of ball toss CTS placed them we'll in the lead, but the other towns have taken advantage of the fact that professional players are being released, and have strength ened their teams also.
 Good baseball is in order in Wes- tern mining camps, and among the players will be found many of the old time favorites of the big leagues. The Tyrone team includes Fred Gar rish, catcher and manager, three years with the Pittsburg Nationals and four years with the Cleveland Americans; E: A. McIvor, right field, two years with St. Louis and formerly manager of' the Fort Worth team; H. o. Bay ess, left field, two years with the Clnclnnati Reds and seven in the Joast League; Paul Mclean, center, 'Wo years with Chicago Americans md three with the St. Louis Amer cans; W. T. Burns, pitcher, four ears with Detroit, three years with and two with the Washing on Americans, and Frank Gibson. ormerly catcher for the San Antonio cam.

The addition of Pertica and Gib- on to the heavy hitters from Tyrone ylll offset the recent additions to the hurley and Santa Rita teams.

Dropping barrels of blazing oil from aeroplanes is one of the latest exploits of the Italian airmen. A realistic it. lustration of this style of bombing is shown in the September Popular Mechanics Magazine. During their last drive, the Austrians had thrown bridges across the Piave river, pre- raratory to an attack. Twelve of them were destroyed in this daring way, with great loss of enemy troops who were caught. on the structures.
