JEROME. Ariz.. March 2S. - Grim privation. distress and Restitution be- yond the comprehension of a Belgian, Serbian or an Armenian. is faced by the Indians living along the Verde river.
 They are to be deprived of all per fumery. including that old, reliable fa- vorite, Florida water; likewise of fla voring extracts.
 That time-hOnOred custom which re- quired young Apache bucks to sprinkle themselves literally with Florida wa ter before grasping their mesquue clubs and sallying forth to call upon the squaws of their choice must per force be abandoned.
 John Link is the indiviual respOnsi- ble for the terrible fate that has be- fallen the tribe. It is feared by the authorities that the Apaches wnl wreak vengeanc upon him.
 Link could have burned every wickiup on the Verde without bringing upon himself half the unpopularity which he has acquired.
 According to the story that Link told when he appeared before United States Commissioner C. H. Rutherford on a charge of resisting an officer. ne bought bottle of Florida water carry in the month. His purpose was ic make himself sweeter than new-mOwn hay in the nostrils of all Apache squaws. In court he gave a conyInc- ing demonstration of his method of administering the fragrant liquid 10 his person. He denied vehement,y having perfumed himself internai:y, pue it is pretty well established that the Florida water application was not entirely external.
 At any rate. soon after Link got home with his little round bottle ne began to act in a manner which Jim Ca.chum, Indian policeman. found o0- jectionable. Jim called at the LinK wickiup prepared to place the disturb CT under restraint But the prospective priosner got the drop on the officer In other words, he'd rev first, and he advised Jim to beat it thence whine the beating was still fair going. Jm did not stop to argue, but he enlisteu the assistance of Deputy United States Marshal Harry Carlson. and the tive of them succeeded in running Jim to earth. He offered no resistance % the white man.
 Commissioner Rutherford did not regard the. evidence as sufficient to hold the defendant, but he gave Link a severe lecture before allowing him to go. Then he announced that he would request all Clarkdale, Ctton- wood and Verde merchants to refrain from selling perfumes and flavor;ng extracts to Apache customers.
 'The trouble is that they flavor and perfume their tummies," explained the commissioner

AVIATION NOV|CES
 CONTINUE ID FLY
 DESPITE TERRORS
Old Adge That Burnt Child Breads Fire" Fails to Apply in United States Aerial Training Camps.
CBy Review Lea1ed wIr..


 DALLAS, Tex, March 23 - The old adage that a burnt child dreads fire" apparently doesn't apply to the young aviators in Texas training camps.
 Despite the number of men killed or injured in Texas aviation training fields. the several thousand student aviators in Texas have never lost their nerve" nor has a single one indicated that he would rather desert the aerial war game and fight on terra irma.
 In fact, several who have tumbled from dizzy heights while flying and suffered injuries varying from a broken neck to the loss of a dozen teeth, are counting the days when they will be discharged from base hos pitals and be permitted to resume flying
 Several weeks ago Frank Forbes of New York tumbled 45O feet while steering one of the big flyers at the American aviation camp near Fort Worth. When they dug him out of the wreckage 1t was more dead than alive. He was hurried to the hospital and surgeons said that his neck had been broken-he might live and he misht not. But Ford disagreed with the sur geon.
 I'm good for a lot more flying" he told his nurse after the doctor left him.
 For eight hours every night a 2O- pound weight is used to keep his spinal column drawn upward. A nurse adjusts the weight at midnight and it is removed at 8 o'clock next morning During the day Forbes walks about the ward and amusement room. to all outward appearances a very robust young man. Now it is stated that he will be entirely recovered in a few weeks and he expects to resume prac- tice flights and win his commission as flyer.
 Eric Riddle of Philadelphia tried to join the American flyers. but was re- jected on account of his eyes. Then he tried the Royal Flying corps and was accepted by the Canadian officers. When the Canadian training camp was moved from Toronto to Everman field at Fort Worth he came along. He suf fered several minor falls near To-  Several weeks ago he tried a nose spin while about 500 feet up. He failed to straighten his plane in time to turn the machine. and when the ambulance attendants reached him he had a broken ankle. broken nose and practi- cally all of his front teeth were miss ing
 When they finished dressing his wounds he said: "Oh, this is nothing. 1 had all my teeth knocked out before in a fall The first time it was my "solo" in Canada. l certainly do want to fly gain. and I'm going to. The spinning nose dive is not so danger ous if you start it well above the ground It takes only a moment 10 right the machine But when you are diving downward there is great pull on the lever and you have 10 use all your strength to get it back"
 Riddle comes of the famous Riddle family of bankers and millionaires. There are five sons in the service. Young Peyton March. who was killed at Fort Worth a couple of weeks ago and Riddle were close friends. and while March's death shocked Riddle it did not lessen his determination to become a flyer.

 The entire state, however. is accom- plishing large results in the matter of and restaurant division. says the re- the food administration conservation port Charges have been made that the food administration conservation program in the state has fallen down. says the chairman. In refuting these charges he issues a statement of sav- ings showing appreciable net gains in meat. wheat flour. sugar. butter and lord by the public eating places of the state.
 In calling attention to the conditions existing in Bisbee the state official admits that this district faces different problems than any other in the state He recognizes the fact that the pa irons Cf restaurants are men who de- mand hearty food and that savings in meat and flour for this reason should naturally he lessened. How ever. he declares in conclusion: Per haps a little publicity in your paper about the public eating places down there will get them iu line"

For years, according to the opinion of

of powerful German propaganda:

OF German money were invested in the
country. Close commercial and even matri
monial ties were established by German
agents with wealthy Costa Rican firms and
families. year ago last January Germans
were IN full control of the country. They

The Costa Ricap government was set
up by revolution, and such a govern
ment is not proper for the United States
to associate with. Such seems to be the
attitude of the Administration. But The
New York Tribune pricks that particu-
lar moral bubble By pointing out that
"the United States has recognized scores Ct
foreign governments which came into exist
ence that way. Our own government was
established through revolution Only
couple of years age President Wilson in o
message to Congress highly eulogized the
right of revolution. The theory that the
successfully established government of an
independent state should be boycotted In
definitely because of its revolutionary orr
gin is entirely new in international law and
morals.
"ln fact, our own recent practice has been
inconsistent with the Costa Rica boycott.
We have recognized revolutionary govern
ment in Peru. We have also recogn zed the
revolutionary Carranza government in Mex
leo. Why split hairs about the de jure char
acter of the present administration in Costa
Rica?"
And The Tribune concludes:
"a friend in war is twice friend. If
Costa Rica has any troops to send here to be
trained and equipped we ought to welcome
them. Mere pride of opinion has no place

Dleading For a Little
1 Open Diplomacy

The Philadelphia Public Ledger"
pleads for the application of little of
President Wilson'S open diplomacy to the
intricacies of the Costa Rican middle.
The question is more serious" it says,
because
"the attitude of the United States has pre-
vented Ilnoco from obtaining the financial
assistance he needs, and has also kept alive
the German propaganda against him He
can get no money from the Allies while the
State Department repudiates him, but ne
can get plenty of money from German
sources If he himself will repudiate the
cause Of the Allies"
The Importance of a friendly feeling in
Costa RIGA is urged by THE Philadelphia
Press" since
1T is so placed geograph caly as TO be IN
position TO render great service to the
Allied cause. Costa Rican waters command
the western entrance TO the Panama Canal.
With Costa RIGA friendly. American
efforts to protect the canal would be aided
immensely. With Costa Rica hostile, Ger
many would profit to great degree"
1T is difficult" says 1.-The North
American Reviews War Weekly" "to
account for our unfortunate attitude
toward Costa Rica, unless on the theory
that our diplomacy in that direction still
suffers from the decentralization ard deg
radiation which the GORGEOUS Bryan
inflicted upon it when he openly pro-
claimed it to be q field for partisan

when German Propaganda
w Fell Down

German influence in Bolivia was re-
ported to be strong, but Bolivia broke off
diplomatic relations and ranged herself
on the side of the Allies only few days
after the United States declared war.
German propaganda, which had used the
particularly subtle weapon of stirring
Bolivia's unfriendliness toward her near
neighbors, fell down completely in trying
to swing that country to her side.
Honduras and Hayti followed Bolivia,
and then Peru, which had previously de-
clared its intense sympathy with the aims
of the United States, broke off relations
with Germany last October.
Uruguay came in only one day after
Peru. Before the government acted, the
following ringing defiance of Germany
was published in "El Da" of Montevidao:
"Our Foreign Office has under considera-
ton the note of Brazil communicating the
repeal of the decree Of neutrality in the war
between the United States and Germany, an
attitude which responds to a high sense Of
