GERMAN LIES AND PROPAGANDA

From all parts of the country comes stories of the work of German propagandists ln cir cu1ating stories about the war, about the con- ditions at the front and about the situation at home The Philadelphia North American quotes few of these stories, as follows:
 .'In the treason-factory output are stories that American battleships have been sunk by the German navy and the news suppressed; that thousands of American soldiers have been killed; that a. German army is to invade us through Canada; that hundreds of thousands of Germans in this country are drilling for a revot that Secretary Tumulty is in jail, charged with treason; that our troops ln France are suffering for food; that our troops in France have quarreled with the British; that articles knitted for the soldiers have gone to the officers. They are all ies.''
 The same paper calls to mind few typi- cal stories about the food situation, as fol lows:
 ssThat Herbert Hoover, federal food ad- ministrator, gets salary of $12,OOO and lives in luxury It is a lie. He gives his services to the country, without salary, and lives simply.
 ''That, at Camp Mix Camp Meade, quarters of beef are thrown away or burned. It IS a lie.
 'That tons of vegetables, principally po tatoes, are rotting through the carelessness of soldiers. It is lie.
 ''That whole carloads of fruit are decay ing on the railroad tracks, because the com mission men want to get high prices. It is lie
 ''That French army officers have been shot for selling American wheat to Germany It is a lie.
 ''That Canada is holding it's wheat that it can demand high price when the Ameri can crop is exhausted. It is a lie.''
 It has been suggested by high authority that every patriotic citizen should endeavor to trace down any such rumors, and should communicate the facts to the nearest United States marshal or deputy, or to the first police man deputy seriff he meets.

THE WAR OUTLOOK

This paper loves 10 print part of the weekly letter of Henry Clews, the New York banker. He is so brave and sensible and cheerful, aud he speaks from deep knowledge and wide experience. Here is his word for the new year;
 : 'sThe year opens with an extraordinary conflicting outlook For those who really en- joy living on the shady side of the street, there is plenty of company. The pesslmlst can dwell upon anarchy in Russia; upon Germanys momentary military successes; upon the ter .rible cost of the war; upon the economic and political upheaval and upon numerous other depressing factors.
 And yet every healthy minded, thoughtful American refuses to be downhearted. On the contrary he is more confident than ever in an Allied victory He believes that the enemy is nearing the end of his power; that he is un- able to hold his winnings, and is marching to inevitable collapse when armies reach France. Germany is gradually breaking down financially economically and politically. She is threatened with revolution, and only the cohesion of her military machine, which IS fighting for its very life, holds the fabric to- gether. How long the autocrats nal hold out cannot be foretod; hut It l- certain that dis sensions within coupled with opposition of the whole civilized world witho tt, will have but one end-and that is ignominious defeat. Blind ed by empty victories and false leadership, Germany seems utterly unable to read he handwriting the wall
 Civilization outside of Germany, however, recognizes that it cannot live, if Germany ideals and purposes prevail The may c.n tinue for weeks, months. Nevertheless the real foundation for hope the Allies side has never been so clear and strong as today.
 At present the brunt of the struggle falls on Britain and France Both are enduring tie strain infinitely better than ever anticipatcd and both show unconquerable spirit and steady rising of morale, while that of the e:.c my is declining. Both of these countries

STAND BACK OF THE
 SOLDIER BOYS

Phoenix. Ariz., Jan. 9.-From the National Council of Defense have come high words of confidence for the outcome of the world struggle. It is urged that immaterial and futile are the ordinary resolutions of the average New Year time. Instead, there should be a pledge to the Ma tions. fighting forces:
 ''To uphold our fighting men; to have faith in them: to make their welfare our abiding care: to give them the strength of our loyalty; to sup port their courage with our wit: our energy and our united effort: to be as sine'e hearted in the Nations cause as they are"
 They must prove their devotion with their lives if occasion requires We send them forth under the old Spartan injunction to come back with their shields on them. They are sworn and trained and disciplined to taht sacrifice. Surely we should not be niggard of pledges given to be kept-to make the comparatively lit tie sacrifices demanded of us that they may be maintained and heart ened

A MIsCHIEVOUS MEASURE

The bill providing for universa; military training a permanent policy of the United States Government is a mischievous measure at this time.
 The permanent military policy of the United States must be determined after peace is established. It cannot be determined in the midst of war. There Is nobody in Congress out of Congress who is wise enough to fore see the kind of a military establishment that this country will require when the conflict has ended. .2---~~
 Such measure adopted while the United States is engaged in to end war might easily have wholly disastrous influence up on American prestige abroad. It would in- evitably be construed as a calculated experi- ment in imperialism on the part of the United States The German Government would point to 1t as proof that all the professed idealism of this Government was fraudulent, and that the American people had taken advantage of the war to create military establishment for themselves by which they could impose their will upon all other nations.
 great wave of radcalism is sweeping over Europe. What Is going on in Russia is going on in lesser degree in Great Britain, France, Italy and even in Germany, although it is still held down there by the force of mili- tary discipline and governmental pressure. The power of the United States for good in the final treaty of peace must depend largely upon the confidence in which this Government is held by the radicals of all countries. We shall have to deal with the Russian Socialists of all factions, with the British Labor Party with the French and Italian Socialists, and even with the German Socialists
 Our great moral strength in Europe today lies in the fact that we do not want anything and readily prove that we do not want anything. It by reason of this that the United States was able to the situation at the Paris conference and open the way to the coordination of the war activities of all the Allies.

CAMPBELL ASKS A
 REHEAR|NGOF CASE AGAINST GOV. HUNT

PHOENIX, Jan. 9.-The skeleton of the Hunt-Campbell gubernatorial contest case was rattled again when the counsel for eX-defacto Governor Campbell, filed a motion in the su- preme court this afternoon asking for a rehearing of the case.
 Like General Byng's sensational drive on the western front recently, the legal generals for the deposal of de facto governor pulled their coup without the usual verbal artillery preparation, and when the news that the motion for rehearing had been filed spread through the capital, sur prise was manifest on all sides.
 With the undisturbed lapse of 14 of the 15 days following the decision of the high court, it had been taken for granted that the matter was set tled for good. Today marks the close of the 15 days during which motions for rehearing can be made, Judge Sloan, together with his assistants worked until almost the last minute to get the legal papers to the Clerk of the Supreme Court on time.
 As has been the case throughout the long recounting and trial in the lower court, Douglas precinct No. forms the backbone of the attack of the Campbell attorneys in their mo- tion for 1ehearing.
 The brief sets forth the contention that the supreme court erred in stat in gtat Douglas Pre-. No. 1 is rot |. separate precinct as unity. The ,cc ords show, according to the brief taht the election officials of this pre- cinct did not live in the precinct, and further, that they went to other pre- cincts tocast their own votes. That the boundaries of Douglas No. l were laid down and determined by the board of supervisors as were teh addi tional six precincts in Douglas. Eacf is as separate a precinct as any other precinct in the state, it is con.ended

bearing the strain with surprising ability; and there is no doubt that they will be able to hold on until American soldiers reach France in sufficient force to overwhelm the foe. Per haps this will happen in the coming sp,ilg; and, if fate should postpone the grand decis ion, prostration of the enemy will be far great CT than if wise counsels induced an earlier yielding to the inevitable.
 Back of these considerations winch are sound reasons for hope, is the belief growing daily that the world is surely facing new and better era than the one now so rapidly passing away

CUT OUT THE BUSINESS FRILLs

Phoneix, Jan. 9-'fWhile saving for the war, why use the miles of wrap ping paper and twine that daily are wasted in the stores,'' is the criticism of a patriotic Phoenix matron. She continued, Why should be ashamed to carry a package of breakfast food in its original neat carton or a loaf of bread already wrapped in it's wax ed paper, and why should the time of the clerk and my own be spent in the wrapping process. Might we not cut out all this fussing?" On the same line is the cash-and-carry system something that might save 10 per cent of the cost of doing business if logi- cally carried out. This drop, of course, should go to the customer and not merely be added to the retailers profits.

Ropes had been placed about he
necks of Muttons and Derks and the
order to haul given, when a horseman
forced his way beneath and holding
out a weakened arm demanded the
executions halt. Jeers drowned the
voice and the luokless prisoners were
hauled into the air.
The horseman again cried out 10
the men TO halt and pulled OF his
hat. He was Black Jack. The mob
instantly recognized him and their
lust for blood grew. He also must
take his turn at the moose an dhe was
dragged from his horse and a rope

Bessie and the baby reached the

she screamed for them to stop. A

Bending over his dying enemy,

DIRECTORS SENT TO PRISON
War Department Has No Sympathy

Washington-In approving sen.
fences ranging from Is months to 20
years Imprisonment imposed by court
martial upon 2 privates who refused
military service at Camps Upton, New
York and Gordon, Ca, Secretary Ba-
ker made it plain that the War De
partment does not consider these men
as coming within the class of con.
Scientious DIRECTORS. The men refused
service solely because they were asked
to fight against Germany and Austria
in which countries most of then
claimed to have relatives. Since they
are not regarded as conscientious OBJ
jectors they will not have right of q
review of their cases by the special
board appointed to hear appeals Of
such directors.
