FRENCH COLONEL; SWINlS RIVER

London, Aug. 3I.-Lien. (now
captain) Edwin c. Chamberlain,
United States Marine Corps avi-
ator, native of San Antonio, Tex,
has achieved supposedly the un-
achievable and won the greatest
personal triumph in the most
amazing single-handed adventure
yet recorded in this war of amaz-
ing exhibitions of bravery. Lieut..
Chamberlain gave the following
laconic description of himself:
"Just a plain, ordinary everyday
American, thank God"
No one here ever heard of
Lieut.. Chamberlain before, but the
world presently should ring with
his exploit. The story, gathered
from personal and official reports,
reached London only today, al
though the action took place July
28. If the story stands for scar
let-tinted z4-karat heroism, it is
because it will read no other way.

C|TY JAIL GETS
 0NH00vERbASE

Loyal Ameticans who are really anxious to aid in the prosecution of the war by saving food should look to the Phoenix city jail for inspiration. Real Hooverizing has been inaugurated among the prisoners in the basement of the city hall And according to Chief of Police George o. Brisbois the plan inaugurated under his orders will be continued throughout the period of the war unless it is shown before then that there is food enough and to spare in this country.
 Under no circumstance 'are eatables to be accepted for or given to prisoners in the city jail, other than the regular jail fare" reads the order posted yes terday at the police station. This means that friends of those incarcer- ated in the city bastile will no longer be permitted to bring delicacies to the police station for delivery behind the bars. Two meals a day, and only those provided as regular fare by the city will be permitted hereafter
 Why, the prisoners in the city jail have been the most wasteful of all Americans recently" declared the chief yesterday. They are given liberal all lowances of bread along with other foods. Nine times out of ten they have bread enough so that they don't know what to do with all of it. This has been stopped. Now the prisoners have just what they will eat and the waste has been eliminated.
 But this plan to save bread and other foods will fail of it's real purpose if friends and relatives of those held at the city jail are permitted to bring them food. Usually the foods brought to prisoners consist in part of bread or pastry in one form or another. the basis of which is wheat flour. This means that after man or woman held prisoner has had his or her allotted

COMPA ANY MAKING
 SPLENDID SHOW

Company B of the Phoenix Police Reserves turned out in it's full quota of 56 men last night, being the first company to do this thus far in the competition now on for the DeMund cup. But according to Colonel Gulley in command of the police reserves, Company E will probably be tied to- night
 Company B members all promised to be on hand for the drill. When the tune came to count noses at the Polk street grounds it was found two were missing. Short two," was the cry as members broke into squads and has, tened off to round up the stragglers. One of them had just been married. That made no difference He was or dered to fall in. What about my wife?" he asked. Bring her along" was the answer. Along she went. The remaining straggler was rounded up and showed under the wire for roll call just thirty seconds before o'clock, the hour set for counting noses for the last time.
 There were 142 men on the drill grounds last night, an attendance far surpassing any attendance since the police reserves were organized a year ago.
 It was announced that another cup has been offered, this one for the largest attendance for the next four weeks. The flag offered by The Re- publican to the company which shows the best in drilling, efficiency and other general requirements has proved a strong inducement for companies to compete, said Colonel Gulley. Colonel Gulley said that it looks as if Companies F and D will tie Com pany tonight by coming through with full quotas.

 MISSOURI MULE

Had a Missouri mule kicked Clar- ence Waymire full in the face the damage would not have been much more than that inflicted when Perry Williams landed two well directed blows on Clarenee's countenance about 7:9O o'clock last evening. The fes- tIvities began in the quarters of the negro club on South Second street and ended in the narrow confines of the pit of the hose tower at Central Fire station, a block or so away. They started, so Williams declared, when Waymire made some offending remark about his (WilliamsD sister. | They were concluded when Chief of Police Brisbois stepped between the belligerents and told them they were | under arrest.
 The calm of a warm spring evening had settled over the downtown dis trict. Business houses generally were closed. A few automobiles rolled quietly along the pavements. The city hall plaza was affording a rest ing place for 100 or more men, wom- en and children who had gathered there to enjoy the coolness of the trees and the grass.
 Suddenly the door of the club across the way was thrown open and two negroes rushed out. They were say ing uncomplimentary things of each other One of them (Waymire) took time to possess himself of the handle of an automobile jack from a ma | chine standing at the curb. He at ! tempted to use this on Williams. It was an inadequate weapon and was ! soon discarded for a heavier and more Wieldy weapon. But Williams | didn't relish a blow from a hammer even on his head and he countered beautifully and successfully. Seeing. he was outnumbered in the matter of pounds avirdupois Waymire 1 tried arbitration first and fleetfoot- ness next. In the latter he was pal = ] tially successful in that he evaded 1 Williams until in an ill moment he took refuge in the tower of the fire station. He was cornered and had to fight.
 It was rapidly becoming a one sided affair when Chief Brisbois, Policeman Strathy and a number of firemen ar rived Waymire was clutching 2 tooth in one hand, with the other he was attempting to keep his right eyt from closing completely while from his mouth an artesian flow of blood gave color to the situation.
 Its all right, Chief" declared Way mire. but as for dat man, if it's ths last thing I ever does, I'm sure goin to get him."
 At safe intervals Perry and Way mire were later allowed their liberty after furnishing bail in the sum O
 s25 each for their appearance in DO lice court this afternoon to answer charges of fighting.
