In the offense Of neglect of sentry

Sibility whose seriousness has made
it an almost unfOrgivable crime against
military law, the letter of the regu-
latiOn recognizes no difference between
being asleep and being intoxicated.
The ruling reads: "Any sentinel who
is found drunk or sleeping upon his

does not apply to the striking Of an
officer "in legitimate self-defense,"

the opinion Of the food experts Of the

Number Of Foods Carried.
The number of foods that can be
easily carried has been enlarged of
late by the possibility of using paraffin
paper and parchment paper, i'm which
moist foods can be wrapped so as to
prevent them from sticking to other
foods. Paper cups. jelly glasses and

tage over pals that they can be folded

MESA BOARD HEARD
 IN SCHOOL MATTER

MESA, Jan. 26.-There has recently appeared in the public press an article ostensibly emanating from the board of trustees of the Gilbert high school distri1, which made grave charges against the members of the Mesa Un- ion High school board and which par tially presented the facts of the rela- tions between the respective boards. The inference drawn from this article is to the effect that the board of the Mesa Union High school without good reason is endeavoring by legal action to hamper the operation of the Gilbert high school and finally to have said high school dissolved. The truth is that the members of the Mesa Union High school board have at no time been the aggressors in this matter. The legal action which has now been in- stituted between the two districts is a result of situation which was forced upon the Mesa Union High school board and in which they have partici- psted with considerable reluctance.
 A little over year ago a delegation from the Gilbert district waited upon the members of the Mesa Union High School board and requested them to furnish better facilities for the high school pupils living in and adjacent to Gilbert. The members of the Mesa High School board agreed with the members of this delegation that better facilities for attending high school should be furnished to the pupils re-

DENVER, Jan. 24-Increased activ- ity of the western district of the Amer ican Mining Congress, with headquar- ters in Denver, representatives at Washington and a campaign fund of 1000 was outlined at a conference today between mine operators of ten western states with delegates to the fifth annual joint convention of the Colorado Metal Mining association and the Colorado Chapter of the American Mining Congress.
 The object of the movement is to unite all western mining operators be- hind proposed legislation to be asked of congress and to protect interests of the industry in any possible govern ment wartime emergency action. The ten states represented are: Wyoming, Montana, California, Arizona, Idaho, Washington, Utah, Nevada, Oklahoma and Colorado. Bulkeley Wells of Dem yer was appointed chairman of the committee to take charge of the new organization. Other members are: Governor Emmett D. Doyle, Nevada, Idaho.
 The convention today adopted reso- lutions prepared by committees in con- ference with representatives of the mining industry in other western states. They urge government-fixed price of one dollar an ounce for silver, excoura cement of the production of precious metals, amendment of the ex- cess profits war law and creation of a bureau of statistics of the American Mining Congress.

Monday, January 2S, local playgoers will have an opportunity to see one of the biggest dramatic productions to come to our stage in recent years. The production requires the services of some 40 players, and in size it ranks with such previous successes as Ben Hur,' "The Garden of Allah Joseph and His Brethren and "The Daughter of Heaven" The picturesque on the stage has always had an attraction for MT. Fully as was evidenced by his other plays "The Rose of the Rancho" The Bird of Paradise" and Omar, the Tentmaker." In "The Flame" the action of the play takes place at the edge of the Caribbean sea the historic old Spanish Main, and there, too, this author has found a locale to delight his eye for color and his sense of the dramatic. ''The Flame" deals with the experiences fo some Americans who have gone into Mexico to seek good fortune. When everything seems to be progressing to a happy end they are suddenly swept into the violence of political uprisings and revolutions. Disaster after disaster falls upon them but it only makes their love the strong CT. That great love is at length per- fected by the greatest of all blessings the coming of baby. In "The Flame the audience is kept continually at tense interest. Climax comes upon cli- max until the final curtain falls. It is red -blooded drama throughout.

GERMANS SECRETLY EVACUATE POSITION
 AFTER FRENCH MIN

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN NORTHERN ITALY, Wednesday, Jan. 23.-As a result of a brilliant victory French troops gained recent ly on Monte Tomba, the enemy has secretly evacuated the territory on the northern mountain front from Tomba west to the Piave river.
 The evacuation was discovered by French and Italian patrols and raid- ing parties.
 When the French made their drive at Monte Tomba some of their de- tachments were carried by enthusi asm through the Austro German lines to the banks of the Piave river They then found the hamlets were deserted but it was believed this was incident to the days operations and it was not then known that the section was being systematically va cated by the enemy.
 Further reconnaisances made in the last few days showed there had been a definite withdrawal. Camps, material and supplies, had been taken to the rear and the long lines of for ward trenches-were deserted.
 Italian patrols exploring the region found that the AuStrians had adopted a remarkable ruse to conceal their departure. They had lined the for ward trenches with dummy soldiers topped with helmets which protruded slightly above the trenches to give an appearance of occupation. In one of the battery positions they had concentrated machine guns with zinc barrels mounted on wood while pieces of wood and gas pipe were shaped with the same object.
 The sectcion evacuated includes de- fensive positions along the valley of Ornio. The enemy's retirement takes him further into the mountains. The heights around Monte Tomba do not exceed 1000 feet, while those in the vicinity of Monte Spinoncia are near ly four thousand feet high and are further back from the plains.
 While the enemy still holds his advance positions on both slopes to the Brenta river his voluntary evacu- ation of one of the chief lines of ap- proach to the plain appears to indi- cate that he has given up hope of breaking through this winter, and the French are receiving large measure of credit for this decisive setback o1 the enemy's plans.

siding in the Gilbert district, and agreed to furnish suitable transporta tion to all of said pupils to the Mesa Union High school It is evident that this arrangement did not satisfy cer- tain people residing in the Gilbert dis trict for, at the next session of the state legislature, they were instru- mental in passing law which per- mitted the Reorganization of union high school districts, something which hitherto, under the law, was not pos sible. So far, the Gilbert district has been the sole body to avail itself of this law. They have separated from the Mesa Union High School district and have organized as a separate high school district. Unfortunately, the law permits the further disorganization of union high school districts and the Mesa Union High school faces the pos sibility of losing more of its territory any time in the immediate future. Under such conditions it is impossible for the members of the Mesa Union High School board to plan properly for the future operation and maintenance of the Mesa Union High school. Con- sequently, in justice to themselves and the remaining taxpayers of the Mesa Union High School district, the only justifiable recourse for them was to test the merits of this new law in order to determine exactly on what grounds the future of the Mesa Union High school rested.
 It will be readily foreseen from the foregoing statement of facts that the
 board of the Mesa Union High schoo has at no time attempted to hinder ol
 embarrass the Gilbert school district They bear no malice against any one | and are acting only in self-defense They have been forced to defend them selves exactly as any other union higf school district in the state may b, | forced to do when it's existence i!

Complaints from the parents of school children who have been accosted by gypsies on the Asylum road met with results yesterday when Deputy Sheriff E. J.

This is this popular stars first visit to the city for some time, and her host of followers will be glad of the announcement that their favorite is on hand, starring in a play of such widespread fame as the pres- ent offering.
