OKLAHOMA BAD MAN KILLED IN ARIZONA
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

HOLBROOK, May 3.-Wesley Kirk, alias Roy Davis, a fugitive from jus tice for the past three years and noted Oklahoma bad man, was shot and killed this afternoon after an all-night and day chase over the desert.
 Kirk came into local prominence last night when he attacked and beat up a Mexican, after which he escaped. Soon after this Sheriff w. J. Ballard of Jef- ferson county, Okla, arrived here with the information that he wanted Kirk. Sheriff Newman of this county i'm mediately took up the trail and fol- lowed it all night and most of the day. When overtaken Kirk fired point blank at the sheriff without hitting him. The sheriff ended Kirks life with perfectly directed shot from a 3o-Se rifle.
 Kirk arrived here with his uncle, Jim Stillwell, and a woman. The au- tomobile in which they were travelling is alleged to have been stolen at Wau- rika, Okla, on April IT. StillweIl and the woman are in jail here. The man is alleged to have left a wife and four children in Oklahoma when he eloped with the woman in whose company he was arrested. They will be taken back to Oklahoma.

Inspired "News" Reports

Experts, writing what may be con- sidered inspired reviews of the situa- tion, say that nothing would be gained by the capture of the ruined city. This may mean that the Germans will turn their attention to some other part of the front for a new effort and the bonn bardment of the lines near Merville and further east may be the first step in an attempt either to bore straight through the allied armies, or cut through toward the south and force British retirement from the Arras- Lens salient. So far as known, no in fantry fighting has occurred in this sector in the last day.
 Recapture Hill No. S2
 While waiting for the Germans fo make the next move, the allies have not been idle. All along the line their patrols have been active and at Hang ard and Villers- -BretoneuX. before Amiens, they have taken tactical posi- tions from the Teutons. One of these positions was hill 82, north of Castel, a height which afforded good observation of the allied communication lines.
 Zeebrugsee Biockaded
 The British admiralty has found that the channel at Zeebruggee, in which old British cruisers recently were sunk during the naval raid on the German submarine bases on the Belgian coast, is still blocked and will probably re- main so for a considerable time in spite of the efforts of the Teutons to dredge new channel around the obstacles formed by the wrecks of the warships.
 German Peace" Move German troops operating in Ukraine have advanced into the Donetz coal re- zion, in the eastern part of the gov ernment of Khaskov. The presence of Germans as far east as this would seem to indicate that .Teutonic domina- l ton of southern Russia and the Black sea is almost complete.
 The authority of General Foch, who was recently designated commander inc chief of the allied armies in France, has been extended to include the forces on the Italian front as a result of the meeting of the inter- allied war council at Abbeville.

Fifteen Billions for Army

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Simultane- ously with the announcement today that 233 900 men from 45 states had been called 10 join the colors in May Secretary Baker indicated the scope of the governments plans for increasing its fighting strength by stating that congress had been asked to appropri- ate approximately $15,00O00000 for the army for the next fiscal year. That amount is exclusive of funds provided in the Qualifications bill which not only covers coast defenses, but as a rule provides the bulk of heavy field ordnance.
 Last Year Six Billion
 Last year the army estimates az eregated 00O00,000 to pay for a force of 1,50O,OOO men which already has been excluded.
 The call for quarter of a million during May goes to all states except California. Oregon and Nevada, which with the District of Columbia, already have supplied so large a part of their quotas that it was decided not to in clude them this time. The movement in most states will begin May 25 and will be completed in five days.
 By this order the war department abandOns it's plan of assembling men in even monthly increments of approXi- mately 100000 The call for 15O. GOO in April and 233,000 this month will bring out in two months half of the number originally contemplated for the year. Officials made it clear that it is the purpose Co mobilize all the men for whom equipment and training facili- ties can be provided.
 "Let us Avoid Specific Figures"
 Let Us avoid specific figures" Sec retary Baker again said today. "They imply limits. There is no limit. We will call out enough men to make vic- tory certain. We will call them as rap idly as they can be trained and sent forward"
 In preparation for this tremendous increase in the army the house mlli- tary committee was told today that every existing cantonment in the coun- try will be enlarged and every national guard camp utilized to it's full capac- ity. It is regarded as probable that some new cantonments must be built. Ground already has been obtained in the vicinity of several cantonments for expansion.

The parade will form by divisions on Third, Fourth and Fifth avenues. as indicated under each division heading in the line of parade. Leaders of each section should report to the division marshal before o'clock for assign ment to position.
 The route of march will be as fol- lows: east on Washington street to Third street; north to Adams; west to Second avenue. The distance is less than one mile.
 After the conclusion of the parade, 1t will be the patriotic act for organ izations to swing back to Washington street and assist in every way possi- ble in the sale of Liberty bonds. Op portunity to help and to hly will be afforded on every down town corner.
 All Soldiers Wanted
 Colonel McClintock urges that ev- cry soldier in the city who now is in the service of the nation or of its al- lies report directly to him or his aides at 6:45 p. m., at the corner of Wash ington street and Fourth avenue.
 Chief of Police Brisbois suggests that marchers park their motor cars near the point where their divisions form. Thus marcherS who form on North Third avenue can leave their cars north of Adams street on Third avenue or on West Adams street In similar manner, marchers who form on South Fifth avenue can leave cars south of Jefferson on the same avenue or on Jefferson street. This arrange ment will save congestion that would be inevitable otherwise in the business district.
 Veteran soldiers not now in the serv- | ice but who have served at any time | in the national or allied armies are invited to join the Spanish War Vet erans and to report to Camp Comman- | der J. L. B. Alexander at the Elks theater not later than 6:45 D. m.
 Drummers are needed and should re- port themselves to MT. McAleer of the general committee. He can be found at the Kissel auto agency on North l Central avenue.

LONDON, May 3.-Later reports show that the Germans are displaying great activity in the endeavor to re- pair the damage caused at Zeebrugge, the German submarine base on the Belgian coast, by the British naval raid The channel still remains blocked and it is thought likely it will remain so for considerable time.
 Apart from the fact that the en- trance is occupied by two sunken con- crete vessels. the position of the sunken cruiser Thetis, which is at the edge of the shoal is likely to increase the difficulties of dredging and prevent the harber from being cleared up.

 Organizations
 To Aid Parade

To make the chorus the biggest pos sible success, William Conrad Mills urges all members of other organiza- tions, who can sing the old familiar songs programmed, should by all means form in line just back of the Indian ~cNool band with the other singers. The chorus should number at least 400 voices to judge from the interest al- ready manifested. High school organ izations, faculties ot all the schools, members of all the church choirs and all persons who just sing will be in- cluded. No rehearsal will be held as all songs to be used are familiar. If everyone does his part, this will be the greatest chorus of voices ever heard in Arizona. Lets all meet at Fourth avenue and Washington street at z o'clock, sharp.
