ROAD IMPROVEMENT NOW
 ASSURED.
Douglas internationally

At the meeting of the Cochise county board of supervisors held in Tombstone yesterday the bids of the Copper Queen branch of the Phelps-Dodge corporation and of the Calumet & Arizona Mining company were accepted for one-half of the million dollar road improvement bonds voted last fall by the county. While noth- ing definite has been stated by the com mission 1t Is understood that the members feel confident that the remainder of the bonds will be disposed of in time to prevent interference with the continuance of the work
 It Is fortunate that Cochise county has such good friends as these two mining com panies, for in the sale of these bonds our county was certainly in need of friend after bids had failed to bring satisfactory and desirable purchasers. Had not the home companies come forward as buyers of the bonds the matter of the proposed inn portant road improvement work would now be indefinitely postponed.
 The fact that these local companies, ac- quainted with our conditions and with those charged with expending the bond money on the roads of the county, must be regarded as tribute to the road commis- sion, composed of Harry A. Clark and Mayor w M Adamson of Douglas; John l. Bowen and Captain J. P. Hodgson of Bisbee and A. H. Gardner of Tombstone; the confidence of the bond buyers that un- der the direction of this commission the money will be economically expended no doubt was an inducement which prevented any delay in carrying out the road improve ment program. An important part of this program IS the paving of the link of the state highway between Douglas and Bis bee, besides other work on the borderland route from Rodeo to Benson and on to the Pima county line.
 The sale of the road bonds should pro- vide joy among the county road boosters. The bonds were carried by heavy majori- ties in all sections of the county, excepting on three or four precincts.

LIBERTY BOND DRIVE IN NWARRENDISTRICT READY FOR START

With practically the same commit tees working in identically the same districts. the Liberty Bond drive for the raising of this districts share of S1.11S,S70, is ready for launching as soon as the necessary supplies and ma teriais arrive from the district head quarters. It is hoped that these sup plies will be in hand on Saturday, April 6, the date set by the national government for the inauguration of the drive and the first anniversary of this nations entry into the war.
 At meeting last night in the War ren District commercial club rooms J. N. Gaines, county chairman for the sale of the bonds presiding, the organ izatiOn for this district was completed. The meeting was largely attended by the workers of the last October drive, by representatives of the banks and by new workers willing to lend assistance in the third drive Several addresses were made, and plans for the drive were discussed at length. No definite action was taken, however, on new or novel plans presented.
 The old committees where they stood intact were appointed by the chairman to handle the third drive. Where the committees had suffered loss of personnel. new members were added to bring up their strength Com mittee chairmen of last October were then assigned the same territory they canvassed on the last drive and in- structed to proceed in exactly the same manner as on the previous oc- casion to visit every resident in their territory and secure his or her pledge to one or more bonds.
 The women's committees and organ ization is separate from the mems, and was well represented at the meeting. It was filled to capacity with members and assigned the same work as on the former drive.
 The personnel of the committees will be published later in the Review. eantime plans suggested at the meet ing for stimulation of sales will be con sidered and should they be adopted. will be announced later. Further de- tails of the drive, the date of starting. and similar data. has been left until the papers arrive for workers.

NOUeL Car Ride
 For Commuters

Warren and Lowell residents com muting into Bisbee last evening on the street car which leaves Warren at 6:30 o'clock, were given a novel treat in bumps and jars, when car No. 103 be- came pusher for cor No. 102. and boost ed the latter from the Custom House stop to the siding in front of the dis. pensary. The delay occasioned some comment by passengers but most jok- ed over the incident.
 The leading car had pulled out of the Custom House siding when a fuse blew out. After waiting several mo- ments the car started forward but did not have the power to climb Slag Dump hill. Half way up the hill the car in the rear bumped against the lead car, began pushing. and finally showed the vehicle over the grade.
 Residents of the district who have seen the Fl Paso & Southwestern en- zine pushing the train from Osborn. stood along the streets and stared at the inauguration of similar system on the street car lines. They had seen one street car pull another. but never before had they seen one push the other.

Had Germany not struck at all she would have had half mil lion more men with which to withstand the battles of August sure to come. The three peoples opposing her in the west will fight on to a decision. Germany tried 10 force that decision by April |, but instead the date came only to witness All Fools Day in Berlin.

After certain state officers of the Hunt administration had admitted their part in the disgraceful scene in San Diego hotel where certain Arizona soldier boys had be- come so drunk as to draw reprimand and punishment fr m the army, Governor Hunt, in an interview in Fl Paso, declares that the soldier boys got the state officers drunk He places the shoe on the other foot with a vengeance. To Arizona peo- pei who know the facts of the San Diego disgrace and who know Governor Hunt more than passing we'll, how natural and characteristic is his Fl Paso interview.

HAS THE CITY NO RIGHTS?
(Kansas City star.)

tkansas City Star)
 Has Kansas City no rights in the present situation?
 Here is a whole town tied up, business interrupted, street car service stopped, tens of thousands of persons not directly con- cerned in the labor troubles thrown out of work or put to intolerable inconvenience, the city for hours at the mercy of mob. and the militia called out-and all because a few laundry drivers were dissatisfied
 It seems inconceivablel
 At time when the government needs all the resources of the country not only in men and munitions and food, but in money as well-in war saving stamps and liberty loans-the business of this big city IS slow ed down and brought almost to a standstill And not because of any serious grievances affecting large number of persons.

It now seems to be pretty well establish ed that the recent German offensive cost the Hun over a half million men. This means that for every mile of the thirty-five miles of ground gained they paid fifteen thousand men. Now comes the question, who won the second battle of the Somme? Even If the Germans hold all the ground they have gained, they paid tod much Tor it.. And it is not expected that they can hold 1t, for the great allied reserve has not yet been brought into action. A terrible counter stroke now might well regain this costly ground. But the campaign, based upon its present status appears to be an actual defeat for Germany The allied armies arc unbeaten and still full of fight

CURING THE HUN.

Of five thousand war gas masks made in the United States for shipment to France, two thousand nine hundred were discover ed defective Monday when they were in- spected by the war department. The de- fleets were attributed to the Hun in the factory.
 On March 8, the Associated Press told us that a spy is possibly working behind the American lines in France
 A nefarious batch of more than one hundred l. W. w. is now on trial in Chica- go for alelged violation of the espionage act, and an Arizona l. w. w. attorney is assisting in their defense.
 More than one-half of this gang of trai- tors have spent some time in Arizona with in the past year spreading their evil doc trines.
 Last fall, torch-bearing Prussians scared black line across the Salt River valley, of Arizona, when grain and hay was set afire on a dozen or more occasions.
 The menace of the pro-German, the dis gruntled agitator, the pacifist, the l. W. w. and the propagandist has come home to this state We have felt it in production. Our industries have been handicapped through it. Society in its broad sense has come in contact with it, and, sad to say, in some in stances, has been tainted with it.
 Bonds issued in direct opposition to the Liberty bonds of this government, have been publicly offered for sale by these para sites.

Wisconsin has arisen at last and thrown her spear full and fair against the brass shields of the traitors who have so long mis- represented her. In the election Tuesday for U. s. senator, out of 230,000 votes counted up to Wednesday morning, Berg CT. the German traitor candidate, received only about forty thousand. Six to one Wisconsin has voted against disloyalists Lenroot committed body and soul to Presi- dent Wilson war program, seems to have been elected by slight margin over a loyal democratic candidate. Berger will likely go to prison or an internment camp instead of the U. s. senate When it is remem- bered that Wisconsin has larger number of German and Scandinavian born people in proportion to her population than any other state in the union, one must bow in wonder and admiration before the magic properties of tke melting pot in this free, prosperous and just land

The improvement work will be under the direction of road foreman and will be inspected at regular intervals by the county engineer. A deputy sher- iff will be in charge of the camp which will comprise from 10 to l5 men.

The fourteenth day of the great struggle on the west front witnesses the forward drive of the Germans at standstill and the allied counter offensive not yet under way. Germany effort to force decision has been frustrated Now the question arises, Is her capture of ground and men and equipment worth the loss of half million or more of her best soldiers? Can she hold her gains? It is certain that the allies have not yet used their reserves. They have the power to strike mighty blow, but as to the wisdom of striking now, or waiting un- til later, this is for, our leaders to judge Be sure that General Foch is not afraid to strike. He is fighter as well as logician. In the meantime the Germans are digging in and bringing up heavy guns. Any day or hour now may well bring momentous events in its train.
