anthem of this country was a bore to
them. If this was the case at the time
OF our entrance into this war for
ideals, It is much more so now. Since
the signing Of the armistice the great
majority Of people apparently hold that
all war rules are abolished.
To be sure every one stands up when
the anthem is >heard. 1t Is not certain
even now what may happen to the
man who declines to rise. Soldiers and
sailors stand at attention. That Is
regulation" They have to do 1t. and
they have been taught to believe in II.
To them the flag means something and
the celebration OF it In the anthem is a
ceremony OF purpose. But no one can
attend a single concert or opera per-
Torrance without being satisfied that
many civilians in the house fail to
show the least respect to the national
hymn.
People who are passing down aislee
on tbs way to their seats continue on
their Journey. They slam down the
seats. take off their wraps, and after
stare around the house wait impa-
tiently till the music ceases and they
can sit down. People who have risen
from their seats move about restlessly
on their feet. carry on animated con-
versations. wave hands to friends in
other parts of the house. and gener-
ally comport themselves as II the mere
act Of standing expressed as much re-
spect as they considered their coun-
try's national air to be worth.
Seem to Have Lost Interest.
There has never been a time wrle,
all conversation ceased while the
"Star-Spangled Banner" was sounded
but now 1t is quite general. People
are not entirely blameworthy. They
! have lost interest in what now seems
20 them to be an empty and meaning
less ceremony.
The nightly performance Of the all
at the opera should be stopped. TIL,
orchestras, such as the Philharmonic
and the symphony, should lay the an
, them aside. When the Philadelphia o

haps the air might be heard as a spe
cial expression OF the loyalty OF tn

At any rate, THE Star-Spangie

AUSTRIAN REPLY
 MAY MEAN END
Press Views the Austrian Reply to Wilson's Note As Surrender;
 Caution Is Urged.

LONDON.-The concensus of opinion in this country regarding the Austrian reply to President Wilson's note, is that it cannot be viewed in any other light than an unconditional surrender.

 Editorials, however, urge extreme caution lest there be hidden snare
 The Echo de Paris, one of the leading French newspapers, says that the Allies must beware of the last convulsions of the colossal enemy, who has not yet been completely crushed. The situation will not clear, it says until military de- feat has been acknowledged or in- flicted

The Arizona copper camp., 1918-02-16

Small operators are finding greater
labor ease than ever before at. this
time of the year. because Of the fact
that assessment work is not required,
and that hundreds of miners employed
on this work in previous years are
free for regular employment this year.
Miners of this class are in the large
majority of cases found during all of
the months of the year except Janu-
ary and December in the employ of
the comparatively small operating
mines. They are semi-prospectors and
do not care for and in many instances
cannot efficiently handle the work of
the large mines. while doing admira-
bly, in the employment they prefer.
The Arizona copper camp., 1918-02-16

The most important point in De-
cember records of mining in Arizona,
as shown by reports received to date,
is considered to be the increase in
efficiency. With smaller operating
forces in the Warren district, for in
stance, record production was made
of copper. Many of the men who
came to the mines in strike districts
of the state during the summer from
agricultural sections and without pre-
vious experience in mining, have be-
come proficient operatives with from
three to five months practical expert
ence. Efficiency in mill and smelter
work sattained in even less time.
