FIRST ID PUT O[D
 GLORY 0VER, CLAIM

Ernest W. Van de Void of Ray. for merly with the Canadian Scottish has written to The Republican in regard to the story published last Saturday in which credit was given to Sergeant William H. Clancy for being the first to carry the American flag over the top at the time of the Vimy Ridge battle
 T believe I am the first American or Canadian to take the good old Stars and Stripes up the line with the best of luck and over the top writes MT. Van de Void.
 ''In a package of cigarets received while in Belgium was a silk flag, old Glory It sure looked good to me and I carried it behind the hat badge of my Glengarry cap as my mascot. This was in August, 1916. 1 carried it through the Somme offensive, but lost it at the battle of Regina Trench about the middle of October, 1916.
 "I have proof of this, as some of the boys of my section are back in Canada again and I showed them where I put it at that time. Here is chance for some other boys of the first C. E. F. to start an argument. My claim is dated August IS, 1916, in the Ypres salient near Nermazeele. I will say I am an American born and joined the Cana dian eXpeditionary forces the first part of the war. and if you will let me have a little more space l will just get at the correspondent who signs himself R. A. Windes' and tells us in the issue of July that i've should not hate our enemies
 T would ask that gentleman if he has seen any of the diabolical cruelty of the Huns earlier in the war in both Belgium and France. If he has and yet doesn't hate the very name of Hun he is hopeless. I believe, though, that he is talking about something he should keep quiet in these times. I car relate a hundred and one incidents that I saw of their hellishness which would turn every one hearing them tc hate every boche ever born. ''I say with the rest of the boys who have seen. Hate, Hate! Hate. No | only now, but for ages.' Germany. many crimes can be effaced only witt the blood of the boche. I hope it vii be the last drop, too.
 Thanking you for so much spac, 1 in your valuable paper, remain, Your truly.

 "The meeting of the conference this year is to be a most important one, said MT. Cronin yesterday. Uniform drafts of many leading measures are to be presented by committees. Sons of these are: The conditional sales act, fraudulent conveyance act, depo- sitions and proof of statutes of other states. taxation act, cital and penal statistics, occupational diseases and legislative drafting.
 There have been about thirty five uniform laws passed" added MT. Cro- min. Many states have adopted all of these laws. and it is the hope Or the conference that all of the states soon will.
 Arizona is one Of the most back ward of the states in this respect, the only uniform laws yet adopted being the negotiable instruments act and the uniform sales act. I am going to prepare all of these laws and present them to the next legislature. One of the most important of these is the uniform marriage and divorce act

MEXICAN LABORERS
 MUST SAVE MONEY

The new regulations of the depart ment of labor for the importation Of Mexican labor demand provision of fair wages, good housing and sanitary conditions, with temporary lifting of the illiteracy, head-tax and contract labor features of the immigration laws
 Indeed, no alien of this sort shall be admitted unless under contract for his work. If the alien fails to work for two weeks, he may be arrested and de- ported as a trifler. An interesting fea- ture of the regulations is that each Mexican laborer shall open a postal savings account, in which shall be de- posted by his employer, taken from wages, the sum of 25 cents a day, pay- able when the laborer leaves the coun- try.
 After the deposit reaches s100, only s1 month shall be so withheld. The number of Mexicans available this year has been materially lessened by pro-German propaganda south of the line, telling that poor wages are paid and that every laborer is liable to con- scription in the army.

The Fourth was more generally celebrated in Arizona than ever before and in nearly every com munity there was participation of the foreign element of the population, who marched in sections of the parade, pre- sented emblematic floats, mingled in the main exercises of the day or held patriotic meetings of their own. At no point did there appear single feature of discord, the celebration pledginS the people of the state as a whole to the nations service, without regard to race or language.

A Double Show at the Hip.

Metro has sent mighty smart so- ciety story. "The House of Gold" to the Hip today again for screen with an equally charming comedy entitled Love Loops the Loop"
 The pair of offerings make one of the best mixed bills the Hip has screened this season. Emmy Whelen, blond and dainty as a bit of Dresden china. is seen in the part of this girl who is forced into marriage with a brute who poses as a society leader. He tries to drag her down to his own level and forces her to attend the midnight revels where he invites the haIf-clad women of the half world and where men of his type make merry with wine and women who do not care. From this worse than a hell, this girl escapes in a story that is replete with romance, action and adventure.
 Love Loops the Loop brings Char ley Murray. the Paramount -Sennett comedian. assisted by Polly Moran, to the screen in one long laugh. The comedy is filled with good hearty

ADJUSTMENTS
TOM SAWYER'' REAL
 DELIGHT IF FILMS
(By H. H.)

tby n. n. J
 Out of the world of good pictures both sections of Tom Sawyer stand out as a cameo-the first. which ran the second and final half of Mark Twain's great book, playing today for the last time at the same house.
 All the world loves a lovcr-and Mark Twain's Tom Books almost without number have been visualized for the screen. but no book has been better done than Tom Sawyer" by the Paramount people. So far as the writer knows its only rival in pre- senting the minds eye picture from the story is Greater Expectations, and it is remarkable coincidence that in both Jack Pickford played the lead and the same people did the producing.
 Oliver Morosco transported his com pany to the little city, so slightly changed since Samuel L. Clemens. Mark Twain" spent his boyhood there, and there filmed the classic juvenile classic some call it, but while beloved of youth it is the story of Everybody and so appeals to all who have had childhood of their own.
 The second installment takes up Toms story at the murder episode and carries it through to the recovery of the treasure Ac-ed by the same people who made the first part so wonderful, with the added thrills of the second part of the book. it Is perhaps. even better than the first.
 Pickford. to whom his sister may point with pride, is now lieutenant in the army, but one could never be- lieve that the young man who makes such an ideal Tom-Tom of the Mississippi Valley-is more than a lad of tender years. Clara Horton, as Becky, has not as much opportunity as in the first part. but makes the most of her chances, while if there is a better bit of character acting than that of Tom Bates as Muff Pot ter, it is not readily called to mind Of course, Edythe Chapman continues her fine work as Aunt Poll and the little episodes of the book are ont and all there in detail.
 Tom was just an ordinary boy witt a boys ambitions and desires. Witt | Huck Finn CRobert Gordon), he hat all of boyish credulity and love O honor and that Pickford and GordeI make the parts convincing so tha 1 they would have delighted Marl Twain himself. any lover of Ton Sawyer" will readily believe after see ing this picture.
