Of FIVE
ARMY PLANES To
VISIT PHOENIX
Great Curtiss Tractors To
Arrive Monday Or Tues
day From San Diego; To
Come Again On Returning

Sometime tomorrow or TUESDAY
Phoenix people who look toward the
western sky will see, swooplng bird
like out of the distant horizon, fleet
of five great army airplanes of the
Curtiss tractor type. They will circle
above the city, getting their bearing
and hunting out a landing place, when
the five monster birds will slowly set
tie to the ground.
These five airplanes will wing their
way into Phoenix on the first lap of a
flight from San Diego to FL Paso to
pave the way for an air mail delivery
service in the southwest A few days
later the planes will again visit this
CITY on their return trip.
To Chart Air Routes
Announcement to this effect was Of
ficialIv made last night at San Diego.
The five airplanes will leave Rockwell
Field the training aviation school near
San Diego, either Monday or Tuesday.
They Will fly TO Ell Paso by way of
Maricopa, Benson and Tucson, it was
announced, stopping and landing in
this city. The return flight will he
made by way of Maricopa, Yuma and
Riverdale, with another stop here.
The flight over Arizona and New
Mexico will be made under orders from
the war department. Inc purpose OF
the flight is to accurately chart air
routes through the southwest. The
charts made during the flight will be
used later, when the plans of the post
office department for air mail service
throughout the country are put into eff
feet.
May Land at Fair Grounds
The planes that will visit Phoenix
in making the flight are of a training
model, $50 horsepower. and have
speed of % miles an hour. They are
of the type used chiefly in this country
for training work. Machines of this
type will play large part in the air
mail service when the latter is put into
effect. as large numbers of them are
available.
No announcement was made from
San Diego as to the landing place to
be provided here for the machines
However it is probable the landing
will be made at the state fair grounds.
which offer ample facilities for a per-
feet landing. The only possible field
for a landing within the city itself is
the Polk street grounds.

SUPREME DRIVE IN SPRING
Allies To Try To Win Victory Before
Year Closes.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Every effort
is to be made by the United States
and the Allied nations to end the war
victoriOusly in 1918.
Agreement has been reached by the
representatives of the nations fighting
Germany that the supreme efforts of
the war shall be put forth during the
coming spring and summer.
1t can be stated that in expressing
the hope that the war aims of the AL
lies might be achieved before the year
is completed, Lloyd George is speak
ing not only for Great Britain, but the
United States as well.
Every bit of information that comes
to the United States from sources in
touch with what is going on in enemy
territory, sustains the belief that Ger
many is preparing to crush her foes
on the West front before the might of
America can be thrown into the bal
ance against her. 1t is to this end
that she rushes to complete her ar
rangements for separate peace with
Russia and aims to lull the activities
in England, France and the United
States with proposals of a general
peace.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-State Attorney
Hoyne charges that the establish
ment of nationwide producers com
bine that would absolutely control
milk prices, was planned by officials
of various milk producers associations
in different sections of the country.
Hoyne declared Robert w. Childs,
special assistant United States attor-
ney general, has copies of letters in
dicating these officials were exchang-
ing views on such a milk trust"
These letters were obtained in connec-
ton with the federal milk investiga-

Contents of Letter Given.
One of these letters, written by w.
J. Kittle, secretary of the Illinois Milk
Producers association, to R. d. Coop
er, chairman of the Dairymen's league
of New York, follows:
Am enclosing you letter sent to
Mr.. Hull, Ga producer) of Lansing,
Mich.
"They are fully agreed that we, with
you and other milk producers of the
nation, can take care of man who
will do the right thing by us as Hoov-
er's right hand man.

''Mr. Potter (head of the Illinois as,
sociation) is of the opinion that Mr..
Haskell George E. Haskell, later

right kind of a man, but, like myself
and you, has his doubts because of the
great moneyed interests he repre-
sents."
Nicholas Michels, assistant states
attorney, who has represented the
public at the milk hearings, said he
would try to have these letters made

NATIONAL DEBT
S5,615,000,000
Increases To Five Times Size of
One Year Ago But Is Less
Than In Other Countries.
EACH ones SHARE S51
Expenditures Fall Far Below Esti.
mates For First Half of Fiscal
Year But Will Greatly Increase
From Now On.

Washington, Jan. 3.-With a nation
al debt of $5,615, 100000, more than
five times greater than when it entered
the war nine months ago, but only one
third of the debt which promises to
develop by the first of next year, the
United States enters the new year.
the debt per capita is about $51 and
the percentage of debt to estimated
national wealth is 21a per cent.
The Treasury financial summary
statement just issued for the first
time since June 60, shows actual dis
bursements during the first half of the
fiscal year have fallen far below the
estimates, particularly for the military
establishment.
OutIays To Be Increased.
An enormous prospective increase
in war department expenses, for mum
itions and materials contracts to be
filled in the spring, will raise the gov
ernment outlays at that time, but Of
fcials feel doubt that ordinary dis
bursements will reach the $12,316, ,000,-
600 estimated for the fiscal year end
ing next June 80.
Actual outlay for the military estab-
ishment up to December 1 was $1,311,-
100000, the estimated outlay for the
whole fiscal year is $S,790,00O,O 900. The
navy spent $420,000,000 and the esti-
mates for the year is $1,300,000, 900.
Shipping board expenditures were
S,000,O00, while the years estimate
is 1901, 100000
Each of these three principal de-
partments has outstanding contracts
for which big expenditures will have
to be made within the remaining half
of the fiscal year, however, and the
aggregate of this is the uncertain ele-
ment which makes it impossible to de-
termine at this time precisely how
many additional Liberty bonds must
be issued between now and next June
30th.
Other Countries Far Ahead.
Great as the national debt seems to
this country, whose debt before the
war was only little over the $1,OO0,-
100000 mark, it is only about one
fourth that of either Great Britain,
France, Russia or Germany.
The debt of all of Americas co-bel-
ligerents is about $S4,000,000,0 900, or IA
per cent of the estimated wealth of
those nations, and the Teutonic allies
debt is about $4,000, 100000, or % per
cent of their estimated wealth.

PARISH PRIEST
USED AS SHIELD
Brand WhitIock Tells of CoWardIy
Act of Commander of Ger
man Detachment.
HUGH GIBSON ADDS EVIDENCE
Tells of Priests Compelled to Walk Be-
fore "Huns" to Form Screen
Cardinal Mercier's Statement
as to Taking Of Hostages.

That the Germans in Belgium
made use of Women, children, and
priests as screens to protect the in
vaders from Belgian troops is shown
by the following testimony gathered
By the committee on public infor-
nation:
Minister Whitlock, in his report of
September II, 1917, to the secretary Of
states, gives an instance Of the Ger
man practice of seeking protection.
1.-THE Germans attacked Hougaerde
on the 18th August; the Belgian troops
were holding the Gette bridge in the
village. The Germans forced the par
ish priest of Autgaerden to walk in
front Of them as a shield. AS they
neared the barricade the Belgian SOL
diers fired and the priest was killed.
After the retreat of the Belgians the
Germans shot four men, burned SO
houses, and looted 100."
Hugh Gibson, in "a Journal From
Our Legation in Belgium" page 155,
gives another incident:
1.-TWO old priests have staggered in
to the - legation more dead than
alive after having been compelled to
walk ahead Of the German troops for
miles as sort of protecting screen.
One Of them Is i'll. and it is said that
he may die as result Of what he has
gone through"
Statement Of Cardinal Mercier.
'At the time of the invasion Bel
gian civilians, in 20 places, were made
to take part in operations of war
against their own country. At Ter
monde, Lebbeke, Dinant and elsewhere
in many places, peaceable citizens,
women and children were forced to
march in front of German regiments
or to make screen before them.
1.-THE system of hostages was carried
out with q fierce cruelty. The prOcla-
nation of August 4th, quoted above,
declared, without circumlocution:
Hostages will be freely taken
can official proclamation, posted at
Liege, in the early days of August, ran
thus: Every aggression committed
against the German troops by any per-
sons other than soldiers in uniform
not only exposes the guilty person to
be Immediately shot, but will also en-
tail the severest reprisals against all
the inhabitants, and especially against
those natives Of Liege who have been
detained as hostages in the citadel of
Liege by the cOmmandant of the Ger
man troops
These hostages are Monsignor Rut-
ten, bishop Of Liege; M. Kleyer, burgo-
master Of Liege; the senators, repre-
sentatives, and the permanent deputy
and sheriff of Liege."
The above quotation is taken from
"An Appeal to Truth" addressed No
vember "a, 1915, by Cardinal Mercier
and the other bishops of Belgium to
the cardinals, archbishops, and bishops
Of Germany and Austria Hungary.
