TEUTON HATRED HITS AR|zONAN
 IN MEXICO
T. L. HAMILTON, MINING MAN FORMERLY OF YAV- APAI, ROUGHLY HAND LED IN MANYANA LAND BUT FINALLY ESCAPES.
(From Saturdays Dsilyl

Several copies of San Diego news paper have been received in Prescott giving an account of the escape out .of Mexico a few weeks ago of Thomas l.. Hamilton, which is of local interest, as this mining man made this field his base of operations for some years when he was connect cd with the old Arizona Smelling Co.,, at Humboldt: Mir Hamilton says in the interview:
 "My brother got away from the camp in the Sierra Naryat range near Guadaloupe several months ago, leav- ing me in charge and stated he would make arrangements with certain Mexican officials by which I also would be permitted to leave in few weeks. I waited patiently to hear every week since January 3, this year. but received not a single word from him. Finally my money ran out and with that distressing circumstance could buy nothing. I even sold my two pair of top boots, some clothing of no use at mining camp. silk shirts, neckties, and lot of other nice wearing apparel. all sums there from being used to pay tithes to the damnable jeffo politicos and for something to eat. I got down to my gold watch and chain with the dia- mond locket that was hid out, and to this piece of jewelry owe my escape.
 We'll, to be honest and explicit, I was camouflaged by being ian American, in a pro-Hun country. I know it to he a fact beyond ques- ton that a certain German influence Twas used to strip me to finish. and that this hostility was successfully exercised which resulted in the desir- able gold property being shut down. When my brother went into the country to take charge of the mine it was wonderful to see the welcome given us Gringoes. In June of last year the brickbats started to fly at us, and several American boys. some from Yavapai county, took the tip SOl Oul DNlOlC litC UT hH NNtN set off. Finally I got to the coast and aboard of a steamer near San Bias. The captain God bless him greeted me with smile. and when he heard my story he and the crew of IS warmed up with the good old American fighting spirit.
 Don't tell me anything about the Hun, as it won't wash down. so far as his good qualities arc concerned. They have made the Mexican hate the American as vic fously as if we were at war with them. The German wants to get rid Of us to secure our mines. knowing that we are far ahead of him in practical ef- fort, and his presumed friendship for the Mexican makes the game easily played, as of all races-the Mex IS cer- tainly an easy dupe. Wait and watch for future developments as the war goes on, and see what happens when the German rides into every invest ment of desirable nature, which has been made by American capital

PHOENIX, Aug. 14-It won't be long before workers in Arizona en- gagged in producing materials for war will be wearing war" badges.

 This move to extend government recognition to. those who are giving real patriotic Service in war indust- rics is responsive to the general ac- knowledgcment that those civilian workers who are faithfully taking a vital part in the prosecution of tho war. second only to the part played by the men in the firing line.

 and home all combined and it is for them the most popular place in the city Naturally London is the Mecca of every soldier and sailor on leave in England, and the first visit is like iy 10 prove bewildering. Forewarned, the American makes a bceline for the Eagle Hut. and gets his bearings and ready answers 10 the hundred and one questions he invariably asks. There he finds food, entertainment and com panionship.
 In the roomy, comfortable lounge he registers by writing his name on marker which he sticks into the flag -your-own-town" map of the U. s. A. Through the good office of those little flags he may be able to say little later in the words of the song, Gee, but it's good to meet a pal from your home town,' for the flags have been the means of rcviv- ing old-time friendships between men who had lost sight of each other for years. In one instance they enabled q father to find his son.
 The visitor notices also in the lounge a counter filled with American magazines, reading and writing tab les. and big English billiard table. Just off the lounge is quiet room for reading and writing.
 Continuing the inspection he sur veys the concert hall with its fully equipped stage, moving picture ma chine. two pianos and, in the alcoves, four American pool tables. Uusually in the afternoon, always in the even ing. there is something doing here. and on Saturday night comes the big party After the formal entertain ment has been concluded. the chairs are removed and the floor cleared for frolic.
 As General Pershing does not per init his soldiers to dance, substitutes for one-stcp and fox-trots must devis- cd. The Y. NJ. C. As resourceful volunteer workers have introduced ll-hands-around" gambols. grand marches and parlor games with such success that, judging by the laughter and shouts of the scores of partici- pants. the embargo on dancing causes no regret. Most of the girls who take part are daughters of Americans liv- ing in London.
 The hut contains sleeping accomo- dations for about 300 men. There are four dormitories known respectively as the "Dixie,,' Blue" Green and Red" rooms. The Dixie" room is reserved for sailors. As a large pro- portion of American sailors hail from the Southern states, this dOrmitory quickly found its name.

 Over In France.
 Over fin France where the death-shells
 scream Our boys are fighting as in dream. \ Glorious dream of blood and hell While I stay here and prosper well. Over in France they are dying now, Like red earth turned by a giant
 blow. They are going across with a smile
 for me, While I stay home in security.
 Over in France the gas clouds roll, And the shower of steel is taking
 its toll. The flag drives on-but the boys lie
 still. While I live on and eat my fill. Great God in heaven, in whome we
 trust, May the food in my throat be turn-
 ed to dust If I miss one chance that may come
 to me To bring them home with the victory. | Wendell w. Moore. |. s. Medi- ! cal Dept.

HOT FIGHT FOR STATE
 SENATOR IN COCONINO

PHOENlN, Aug. l4.-l ne polltlcal ambitions of Hugh Campbell, state senator from Coconino county, are hanging in the balance, depending on the result of a fight being waged against him for the nomination for state senator this year by John Hen- messy of Flagstaff. The Hunt and anti Hunt lines are being closely drawn in this fight, Campbell being openly opposed to the governor and Hennessy being one of his henchmen. Hennessy is a member of the board of trustees of Northern Arizona Normal School, and voted to throw Dr. Blome out as president. Campbell will be a candidate for governor two years hence if elected to the senate. Both Campbell and Hennessy are rich sheepmen, and the fight promises to be one of the hottest in the political annals of Coconino county.
 Among the latest persons. to join Fred Golfers army Of paid political workers is Mrs. Grady Carnage of Tucson, a temperance worker and singer. and wife of Grady Carnage. secretary of the Arizona Temperance Federation. Mrs. Carnage has taken the stump for Colter and is visiting every section of the state, praising Golfers temperance record. Golfer has more paid workers out than any other candidate, and is probably spending more than any of his rivals.
 Lieut.. Thomas Maddock, who will be the Republican nominee for con gress. will be unable to be present in person and make campaign of the state, being with the American Expeditionary Forces in France. but it is announced that such political leaders as F.. s. Clark of Prescott and ]. P. Boyle of Douglas will take the stump for Maddock and tell the patriotic men and women of Arizona why they should give Hayden a vaca- ton and send soldier to congress this year.
 Down in Cochise county, the Re publicans seem certain to elect a sheriff this year, to succeed Sheriff Welsh. who was appointed to sue ceed Harry Wheeler, Lorenzo Wright of Douglas will be the Republican nominee. The Democrats have a three-cornered fight, two conserva- tive candidates, Bradfield and Cross opposing Mcdonald, the radical ia vorite. This means that Mcdonald, will be the Democratic nominee, .and Wright will easily defeat Mcdonald Wright was the nominee in l9l6, and made great race against Sheriff Harry Wheeler, who was very popu- lar.
 Allan B. Jaynes. Republican Ma tional Committeeman and editor of The Tucson Citizen, was recently appointed a member of the Pima County Council of Defense and his name submitted to Gov. Hunt for approval. Jaynes was formerly chair man of the publicity committee of the state council. He resigned when Hunt took his seat Hunt accepted the resignation in a caustic letter. and Jaynes replied exposing Hunts af- ! filiationS with the wobblies.
