Odds In Battle

It is important or at least desirable that we should have understanding of the war news which has generally been confusing or misleading Even the brief official dispatches tend to confusion which is increased by the of the war offices of the allied nations in which great hatuses are left in the story of tho battle and in which explanation and pre- dction and descriptions of the state of mind in the various capitals are foisted upon as war news.
 We have noticed for instance tendency in the allied dispatches to account for the rapdity of the German drive by the statement that the allies have been outnumbered by, sometimes, as much as seven to one. These odds indicate only the herosm of the allied troops in wthstanding the avalanche even for Q short tme But what serious reflection they are upon the allied command to have let such odds occur or to let them exist day after day according to the dispatches from Paris they have done.
 It is an elementary principle of war as old as war Itself to endeavor to throw force against an enemy greater than his own It is that principle which successful commanders have sought always to apply In battle. It has never been credtable for a com mander to allow himself to be outnumbered for that frequently means that he has been outgeneraled
 It has not always been possible for a commander io avoid being outnumbered and perhaps it was not possible in this It was commonly believed at the beginning of the March offensive that the allies somewhat outnumbered the Germans along the west orn front as a whole They though at the dis advantage of being on the defensive That would have been an advantage an ordinary battle front but not on front of hundreds of miles extending from the North Sea to the Adratic
 The enemy might at his pleasure weaken his front at various comparatively non-essentia points of which the allies could not know so as to make huge concentration at chosen point as was done in Ifcardy, later in Flanders and in a greater degree along the Aisne.
 In order to meet such situation the Army of Maneuver was decided upon by the Versailles confer ence and after the first few days of the March of- fensive' General Foch put in command of the entire front.
 Five days have elapsed with the still reported superiority Of the Germans along the Aisne and

COMRADES OF THE MEN

To call on women t0 conduct propaganda to sell Liberty bonds to occupy important positions, to un- dertake hard and steady physical labor to share in every responsibility and every activity except that Of actually carrying arms, and then to deny them the opportunity of voting would be of those of fundamental inhumanity and injustice which would in the end involve in disaster the nation which con- scented to it. The of America are the com rades of the men in this fight. They have just as much to gain as the men have from the successful achievement of American national purpose and just as much to lose as a consequence of failure. Any man who has the parade of American nurses and of the mothers of the drafted men, and who fuses to allow to their share in the respon- sblity for the political policy, whose burdens they cheerfuly carrying, is callous the moral realities of what is now taking place almost to the noint of being defective-New Republic.

 His father expresses his fullest ap- proval of Walter Thalheimer's enlist ment and advises any young man en- tering the service of his country to enlist in the marine corps, for there, he says, is the service which is first to get itno the fray and where oppor- tunities for service are greatest.

WORTHY PEOPLE l. ARE DONE INJURY

A week ago this morning there was published an expose of a concern call ing itself the George Washington h. stitute. The information concerning 1t came from the Associated Advertising clubs of the world through the state corporation commission. It was an | alleged correspondence school. It was not, however, stated that there is an- other institution known as the Wash ington Institute of Chicago, a reput- able correspondence school of many years standing and on whose name
 the fraudulent concern was trading. The agent for the Washington h. stitute, R. M. Kennedy, who has repre- sented it in this territory for the last three years, has found himself greatly handicapped in the last week because
 of this publication. He can offset the | effect of it sometimes by showing recommendations from well known
 Arizonians who are familiar with the work of AIr. Kennedy is doing.
 The Washington Institute has simi-
 larly suffered in other localities. for 1 the Associated Advertising Clubs"
 says of it: Inquiry at the office of the ] Washington Institute, POS La Salle street, Chicago, a concern selling a
 reading course, business books and 6
 business consultation service, reveals that they have suffered considerable
 annoyance from Hills trading on their
 name and reputation. Established as
 a going concern long before the George | Washington Institute came into exist
 ence, they were the first to employ as
 a slogan the picture of George Wash ington and were amazed to find Hill
 boldly appropriating their idea"

WILLIAM DEAN HoWELL,s WORK

The now venerable William Dean Howells has protested his inability to write patriotic slogans for Liberty loans and other campaigns, but has finely demonstrated his ability to help in bringing Italy and this country closer together From 1861 to 1885, or during the period of Civil War, our beloved novelist and social philosopher United States consul to Venice. There he studied the Italian language and literature and steeped himself in the joy and charm of a land that is dear to so many Americans. He lived in Venice during the last four years of Austrian domination, and tells the Italian people that it is his old ages greatest grief to see the Austrians again in Italy. He hopes to live long enough to see them driven out of that country for and in that hope and expectation his country men are with him. The Amercansm of Mir. Howells is a burning flame, and this message to Venice well
 becomes him.-Springfield CMass.) Republican,

FLOWER PUT DEAL |S NOTABLE 0NE

One of the most notable business deals transacted in some time is the sale Of the Flower Pot aCttle company, formerly owned by Dan Millett, John

 has ranches in the vicinity. Peterson

 winch he secured the rights. It is un- derstood that in the sale of land and
 cattle something like s200,000 changed hands.
 It is said that Montgomery, who is in Prescott, and Cooke, on the coast,
 have not made any plans for the future. Cooke contemplates remaining in Cali fornia, and with that end in view will look over the business prospects in southern California. Both men have lived here for a number of years, Cooke representing this county in the first state legislature.
