COUNTY FORMS. DEFENSE BODY.
 ID AID IN WAR.
Business Men From Every Dis trict Assemble Here to Organize Common Council and Instill Patriotism.

The first actual and constructive step towards the mobilization dhd CT ganization of the entire people of Co chise county in Concentra'szi effort for prosecution of the war was taken yes terday afternoon in the offices of the Warren District Commerc !, Cirb. when the CochIse County Common Council of Defense. a branch af the state and national cou.lCils. Nas folm- ed, officers were elected, and a partial working program was drawn up. The meeting was entirely successful, and was representative of every district of Cochise county. Thomas E. Camp bell, of the state body. assisted in the organization.
 Officers of the organization were elected as follows: Vance Johnson. chairman, Bisbee; Thomas A Egan, secretary, Bisbee; Charles O. Ellis, treasurer, Douglas; Bassett Watkins, chairman committee on public defense Bisbee; Mrs. A. " Smith, chairman committee on welfare service, Pearce; Robert Rae, chairman food conserva- tion and production, b0usias, with w. A. Morgan, vice-ckairiaan, anl J. N Gaines, Tombstone, cnajrBln commit tee on thrift stamps and liberty bonds.
 Vance Johnson, :halr l'vn of Inc Co- chise county board of supervisors. who called the meeting. acted as chairman Thomas E. Campbell, former governor of the state, represented the state council.
 In addressing the meeting MT. Camp bell called attention to the fact that the council of defense is created with federal authority through bill passed by congress. He gave the history of the organization of the national and state organizations. and finally summ- ed up the situation by declaring that in states where the population is wide ly scattered it has been found neces- sary to organize county units to assure complete mobilization of the people for war work and to impress on ther, the importance Of the fight which the United States has entered.
 He then outlined the formation of the council. laying especial stress on the committees Of public defense, well fare service, food conservation and production. and liberty bonds and thrift stamps. Election of officers was then held.
 The neucleus of the county organiza- tion which resulted from yesterdays meeting will begin immediately per. fecting their plans. Included in these plans will be other organizations branching from the county body and distributed throughout Cochise. Com mitteemen will be named. publicity will be arranged for, and other details of the mobilization of this country's residents for war work will be worked out along scientific lines adopted and approved by the national administra- tion at Washington. Instructions for this york will be furnished the local council by the state and national bod ies and assistance from the higher branches will be offered on all occas- ions

 Our American allies. who are be- ginning to reinforce our number, are already proving their value. They are sportsmen and show much interest in athletic exercises in the training of pilots. Among them let us cite the holder of the worlds record for run ming, Ted Meredith, who is finishing his instruction somewhere in France.

HA|C DENIES HUNS AT TAIN REAL OBJECT
Attacks Made in Mass Forma- ton Prove Very Costly to Hostile Troops, Says Off siai British Report.
Ry Review Leased Wirel

LONDON, March 2I.-Field Marshal Hsig's report from British headquar- ters in France describes the German offensive as comprising an intense bonbar6nont by the artillery and a powerful infantry attack on a front lof. over 50 miles. Some of the British positions were penetrated but the German losses are declared to have been exceptionally heavy.
 On no part of the long front of the attack did the Germans attain their objective.
 The text of the statement reads:
 At about o'clock this morning, after an intense bombardment os beth high explosive and gas shells on our forward positions and back areas a powerful infantry attack was launch ed by the enemy on 6 front of over fifty miles, extending from the river Disc in the neighborhood of La Fere to the Sonsee river, about Croisilles.
 A hostile artillery demonstration has taken place on a wide front north of La Rassee canal and in the Ypres sector !. The attack, which for some time past vas known to be in the Course Of preparation, has been pressed with great vigor and determination through out the day. In the course of the fighting the enemy broke through our outpost position and succeeded in penetrating into our battle positions in certain parts of the front.
 The attacks were delivered in large masses and have been extremely costly 10 the hostile troops engaged whose losses have been exceptionally heavy.
 Severe fighting continued along the whole front Large numbers of hostile reinforcing troops have been observed during the day moving for ward behind the enemy's lines.
 several enemy divisions which had been especially trained for this at- tack have already been identified, in- clading units of the guards. Captured maps depicting the en- emy.s intentions show that on no part Of tie long front of the attack has he attained his objective"

Wobbly Threats in Northwest Lead to Warnings; Report of Deportations From Ari- zona Attacked.
CBy Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Warn- ings that the people of the Pacific northwest, tired os l. w. W. activities might take the law into their own hands to suppress traitorous conduct; charges that the government itself had 'coddled" the leaders, and pre- dicticns that sabotage and other hampering activities to embarrass governments air craft program arti likely to break out in the spring and summer. featured the senate debate today on the administration bill to em- power the government to commandeer timber and conduct logging operations.
 The debate flared up so suddenly and lasted so long that time allotted for considering the bill was used up and Chairman Chamberlain of the military committee let it go over for action later.
 Senators were not sparing in their declarations that. the government should act swiftly and drastically to meet what they characterized as a menace to the people Senator Cham berlain particularly declared it might be necessary to send troops into the spruce forests to protect workers get ting out the precious timbers for the airplanes.
 The Industrial Workers of the World win not allow men to work in the forests" he said.
 Senator Borah Of Idaho declared the government could deal adequately with the I. w. w. without resort to force and by orderly lawful action.
 Without mentioning the name of the I. w. w. leader to whom he re- ferred. the Idaho senator declared:
 "The government now has in its possession the evil genius of the l.. w. w., a professional criminal for twenty years, who has taken the lives of at least eighteen men. The l. w. w. believe he leads a charmed life. Tie best thing to crush the l. w. w. would be 10 punish him on the evi- dence of his treason"
 Senator King of Utah attacked the rerort of President Wilson's media tion committee on the deportations from the Arizona copper districts as a 'quasi-justification" The I. w. w, he declared. had been 'coddled" too much by certain sympathiZers in the labor department.

AMERICANS THINK
 ATTACK IS BLIND
Rv Review Leased wirel

WASHINGTON. March 21-Evea word from London that the drive launched today by the Germans on the west front is on a larger scale than any undertaken there since the war began, has failed to convince Ameri- can military observers that the long heIalded Germen offensive is at hand. They are awaiting for the full scope Of the enemy action against both British and French fronts to be made clear, and still believe that the logic of the situation points away from q German offensive west at this time. There was 9 distinct feeling tonight that the tumult of the German guns might cloak some other purpose than to commit the issue of the war to desperate onslaughts against the all but impregnable allied lines in the west. Supreme confidence. in the power of those lines to resist the shock characterized the expressions of all officials.
 Some high army officers. heretofore confident that the German position on all fronts made defensive attitude il the west almost mandatory, viewed with eagerness the possibility that a great thrust at Paris or the channel rorts had been actually set in mo tion.
 Please With Move.

War Summary
Ry Review Leased Wire,

fBy Review Leased Wirel
 Exactly twenty-five months after ths Germans began the historic battle Of Verdul, the thunder of their guns deepened into a tempest of fire along the British front in northern France and hey began what may be the great est battle of the war, struggle which may read to results which will shape the destinies of millions of people tor coming centuries. The attack was made on a scale hitherto unknown dur. ing this war of major offensives. It was over a front of fifty miles. Off cial reports are brief but correspond ents at the scene tell of the terriflc storm of artillery fire that burst over the lines held by Field Marshal Haig 5 men
 The bombardment began at o'clock morning just before the ear ly spring dawn was breaking over east ern France. Shells of large and small calibres were rained upon the lines held by the British about five hours. Then German infantry stormed out to make the first great assaalt. Th2 Ger mans. favored by the wino, moved for ward under cover of a pail of smoke which hid the assaulting columns from the eyes of the British holding the first lines.

Andrew Bonar Law informed The house of commons that lightly held portions of the 6rit- ish line had bean withdrawn but said that there was no need for alarm on the part of the country. The Associlt ed Press correspondent at the British front reports that an attack there had been expected and that great prepare tions had been made to meet it. The Berlin official report says that the Germans have penetrated into sOTie British positions
 Nor were the German efforts con centrated on the front held by the British. Early Thursday morning the Germans assaulted the French lines near the village of Ornes to the north east Of Verdun and claim to have pen

GREAT GERMAN OFFENSIVE LAUNCHED AT BRITISH AND FRENCH
TeutOns Destroy
 Ships TWice As
 Fast As Finished
(Rv Rerlew Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, March 21- Publication today of the secret official British admiralty figures showing exactly the total of sub marine losses up to January l, and that despite anti-submarine measures the underseas boats are destroying ships twice as fast as the worlds shipyards are building them promises to be the forerun- ner of some further official pro nouncements which will bring home to America more strikingly than ever before the need of the bridge of ships 10 France.
 Chairman Hurley of the ship ping board, possibly may make a statement but 1t is certain that in a speech he is to deliver in New York Tuesday he will give some facts, which taken in con- nection with the recent declara- ticns Of Sir Eric Geddes, and the official figures published here to- day by the British embassy, will show the present ship gconstruc- tion situation as clearly as the British have shown the rate of destruction. The British official figures show more than 100000 tons of ships destroyed since submarine warfare began and only 6,0OO,OOO tons of ships built to take their places. They show that the rate Of submarine de- struction steadily has decreased from the, heights it reached when early in 1917 Germany announced a new and unrestricted campaign of ruthlessness and forced the United States into the war.

RAILROAD BILL ON SIGNED BY WILSON
Issues Order to Re strain Owners From Spend ing Money Except for Es-
 sential Needs During War.
(By Review Leased Wne)

WASHINGTON, March 2l. - The first act of Director General McAdoo today after President Wilson signed the railroad bill, which provides a $500.OO0 revolving fund and pre-. scribes a basis of compensation to the owners during the federal operation, was to issue an order restricting rail roads capital expenditures to exten- sion and betterments absolutely under war conditions. InRsmuch as the gov ernment has undertaken largely the financing of improvements and pur- chase of new equipment. the order will serve as a safeguard to the big work ing fund.
 The signing of the bill opens the way for the railroad administration to proceed with necessary extensions, with the negotiation of agreements on compensation, and with other forms Of financial assistance to the oom- panies.
 One of the first results probably will be the conclusion of an arrange ment by which the government will participate to some degree, in the ilNfEl-A6 Ol TfpsONUsUWO AONCN OA tue New York. New Haven and Hartford railway. due April IS. An announce ment of this subject may be made this week.
 Without waiting for the railroad bill to pass the final stage of the presi- dents approval. Mir. McAdoo had created in the railroad administration a division of capital expenditures. headed by Robert s. Lovett, former director. of priority for the war indus tries board to supervise the regula- ton of additions and betterments.
 This division will scan all requests for the building of new terminals. ex- tension of lines. purchase of loco motives. cars, and other equipment, and all other enterprises requiring ex- penditure of capital. After being ap- proved by MT Lovett and the director general. proposals tlvolving capital expenditures will go to the division of finance and purchases, headed by John Skelton Williams. for execution.
 In his order today. Mir. McAdoo ask ed railroads considering extensions 10 be guided by the wartime neces- sity for conserving capital. labor and material. and by the idea that enter prises which might be meritorious from the standpoint of an individual railway, may not be desirable now that the railway systems have been unified under government control. He specified that construction of new lines or branches and purchase Of locomotives or cars should not be un- dertaken without his approval.

FL PAS0. Tex, March d. After dynamiting and robbing a Mexico Northwestern passenger train. killing two and injuring ten a. santa Sofia. Chihuahua. last night, Epifanio Holsuin, a Villa leader. annSunced his intention of burning the train, destroying all bridges between JuareZ and Ma dera and causing the suspension Of traffic over this railroad, mes- sases received tonight from pas sengers stated A Mexican, rancher named Rodriguez, of As tension, wGs killed, as was his wife who was sitting with him fin the second class coach. A Mex ican boy who had come 70 Juarez for medical treatment had his right foot blown off and nine other Mexican passengers in the second class coach were injured.
 The two Americans on the train, Carl Halter. and Coductor O. L. Archer, escaped. Archer took the locomotive and one coach to Casas Grandes, while Halter. mining engineer, escap- ed in the darkness. He has not been heard from. but Archer re- ported him safe today.
 The explosion was caused by a heavy charge of dynamite placed under the track and discharged by detonator said to have been purchased recently in Fl Paso. The explosion occurred under the second class coach, where a ma jority of the 100 passengers were riding. No one was shot as Hol- guin has the reputation in north ern Mexico of being meIciful to all who fall in his hands.
