through Tucson, Sacaton, Ft. Yuma and on to San Diego, California
 This was the hardest military march recorded in history because of the fact that there was no supply station be- tween Santa Fe and San Diego. The road made by this famous band became the regularly travelled southern route to California and was finally followed most of the way by the Southern Pa7 cific railroad.
 First Settlement
 The first settlement was made on what was known as Muddy creek, a small stream running into the Rio Grande river near the place where Ari- zona, Nevada and Utah join. In 1864 President Brigham Young organized here what was known as the Muddy mission.
 About this time Arizona created here it's fifth county known as Pahute, with St Thomas as county seat.
 When Nevada became a state this portion of Arizona was attached to 1t for the purpose of giving the new state an outlet through the Colorado river. The Mormon settlers had some trouble over taxes which they paid in Arizona, which Nevada now claimed, so they gave up this project and returned to Utah.
 About 1886 another settlement was made by the Mormon's at Calls Land Ing or Callville, on the Colorado river This was before the Union Pacific rail- road was built, and 1t was the inten- tion of the Mormon people to have their merchandise brought over the TetI 1f Do,z t1z<. C..1h Of CaI fornia and the Colorado river to Call vile. The project was, however, only fairly started when 1t was decided that the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads should be built, so Callyille was abandoned
 Explore Colorado
 In 1872 President Young sent col ony out to explore and locate settle ments on the Little Colorado river They came to Lees ferry and travelled up the river, but became discouraged with the country and turned back President Young, however, was con- vinced that this was a good place for settlement, so in 1876 another expedi- ton was sent out along the Little Colo rado river, under the leadership of Lot Smith. MT. Smith was a man of mili- tary type, and a very determined lead CT. Under his leadership the towns of Moencoppie, Tuba City, Brigham City, Obed and St. Joseph were established. These settlements were later organ ized into the Little Colorado Stake, with Smith as president. Sunset was made the headquarters of this stake. Because of scarcity of water sup ply and alkali in the soil and water, the towns of Sunset and Brigham City only lasted ten years, and Moencoppie was abandoned earlier; Obed lasted only live years and Tuba City 27. St. Jo- seph is the only town of this first stake that is still in existence.
 William J. Flake became discon- tented with conditions at St. Joseph and went on touring expedition over near the White Mountains. Here he purchased a ranch from James .Stipson.

the menace of German militarism and the purpose of the United States to rid the world of it. Theirs was the influence, he said, which brought about the sacrifice entaited> by the requests of the food administration, in compliance with which millions cheerfully restricted their consump tion of food in very large measure.
 Theirs swas the sacrifice, Mir. Wiley declared, when the war board rekuest ed that the number of pages be re stricted in order to save paper, re gardless of the pressure of news and the necessary curtailment of advestis ing space. Theirs was the task of giving greatest publicity to the mes sages, notes and addresses of the president; theirs the task of giving publicity to Liberty loans, subscription campaigns of the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., and a score of committees organized to help those who were suffering because of the war.
 The newspapers of Germany, con +inued the speaker, helped build the German system of military domina tion, while the liberties of the Ameri can people were conserved by "an in dependent and untrammeIed news service"

S6O,OO BONUS TO BE
 PAID TO SOLDIERS

Section 14o6 of the Revenue Act ar A,roved February 24, 1919 authorizes the payment of bonus of $6o.oo to officers, soldiers, field clerks and nurses of the Army upon honorable separation from active. service by dis charge, resignation or otherwise This bonus is not payable to the heirs Or representatives of any de ceased soldier. @
 Those who are discharged here after will receive this bonus oil the same roll or voucher upon which they are paid their final pay.
 Those who have been discharged and have received their final pay without the $6o.oo bonus, should write a letter to the Zone Finance ot sicer, Lemon Building, Washington, D. C., stating their service since April 6, 1917, the date of last dis charge and their present address to which thy desire their bonus cheeks 70 be sent and encloseing with this letter their discharge certificate or military order for discharge and both if both were issued.
 Upon the receipt bf the Zone Fin ance Officer, Washington, D. C., of this information and the soldiers dis charge certificate this officer will cause checks to be drawn and mailed to the claimants in the order in which their claims were received bf him. The discharge certificate will be returned to the soldier with the check.
 It is estimated that at least one million and a quarter persons have been discharged from the service who are entitled to the benefits of this Act and while payments will be made as expeditiously as practicable, it will 1anifestly take considerable time to write and mail this many checks.

THAT MORNING LAMENESS

If you are lame every morning, and suffer urinary ills, there must be a cause. Often it's weak kidneys. To strengthen the wea..ened kidneys and avert more serious trouble, use Doan's Kidney Pills. You can rely on the fol lowing testimony.
 Mrs. L. M. Woodworth, 903 Alvord St.. The Dalles, Ore, says: 'I had been subject to backache and uisor dered kidneys for five years. Final Iy l had such terrible spell of backache that ! thought l would die. Mornings when l got up my back was so weak and sore could hardly get out of bed. tried different medi cines with no relief, until l finally used Doan's Kidney Pills. Two box es stopped the backache and made me feel as strong as ever"

NEWSPAPERS GIVEN CREDIT FOR WAR
 WORK GENERALLY Y

New York.-Louis Wiley, business manager of the New York Times, in an address in this city the other day, paid a striking tribute to the incor ruptiblitp of the press of the United States of America. MT. Wiley said, in part!
 "After the breaking out of the war in 1914 a fund aggregating about $35, 100000 was supplied by German agents and sympathizers for the pro motion of German espionage and the spread of German propaganda in the United States. Some of this money came from the imperial German treas ury. Other millions were contributed by persons of German birth, descent ard sympathies living ill the United States. The expenditure of this enor nous sum, apparently, was directed from the German embassy in Wash ington for the purpose of influencing public opihion i'll the United States. The design was to use the money for hamperina ammunition manufacture, the destruction of munitions and food supplies for the allies, tho sinking of vessels carrying munitions, toscorrupt public officials. to bribe or establish newspapers and magazines. and in many other ways to turn the course Of events into a channel favorable to Germany.
 "out of the $s5, 5,ooo,ooo, the chief of the United States secret service has testified in the investigation conduct ed by the United States senate about two million dollars was expended ill an efert to brbe, influence or buy the support of the American press. How great a failure resulted. all the world knows. So far as American newspa pers are concerned, such an effort, in polving the loyalty of the American press, at any time, will utterly fail
 German efficiency, so highly prals ed for years, failed to take into ac count the heart and spirit of Ameri can newspaper men, their love of fair ness and justice, their devotion to all that our country stands for, their hat red of dishonor. 1t based it's belief on the power of money, on greed, sel fishness and sordidness. Not single American Newspaper of importance was corrupted not an editor of stand ng was defiled or seduced.
 Americans hold up their heads with pride because of the complete eW dence of the probity and honesty of the American newspapers and their loyalty to high standards before the United States entered the war, and their absolutely fealty to their nation after Germany became our open enc my. The great power which tried to dominate the world failed as utterly in it's effort to influence the Ameri can Dress as it did in it's largest am bition."
 When the United States entered the war, said Mir. Wiley, the newspapers took up the work of their gopernment periodically and thoroughly. Theirs was the educational campaign which acquainted the people generally with

its spokesmen, challenged the Presi-
dents conclusion, and thus placed
the responsibility for the treaty's
failure where it belongs.
The treaty was killed by the order
of the White House. The President
sacrificed the league Of nations to his
pride, and there can be no resusci-
tation unless the President alters
his mood and is willing to consent
to ratification on terms which the
League to Enforce Peace holds are
acceptable,
Some Of the Lodge reservations
are superfluous or Implications, and
mssy be taken out without sacrifice
Of principle. The language Of others
may be altered, but the essential
points that the President is not a
kaiser, with complete power over for
eigrl relations, and that the national
independence Of this country cannot
be destroyed by treaty must stand.
So to hold is not to seek to nullify
the covenant or materially to weaken
the organization it would call into
existence.

Soaking the Operators

If the telegram which former
Secretary McAdoo has addressed to
the Fuel Administrator has the prac-
tical effect of securing a settlement
with the miners without passing the
burden Of meeting the new wage
scale to coal consumers the public
will not reproach him for writ
ing it. There is no general desire
to pay more for coal, either to min
ers or operators.
Mr.. McAdoo's point is that
the operators have been making too
much-that he knows it, because
while in Office he saw their income
tax returns. He is apparently of
the opinion that the $200,000,000 Of
additional wages for the miners can
be successfully retrieved from the
operators. Can it be or will it be?
A public which has often been
mulcted following similar promises
may be excused little skepticism.
Incidentally, Mr.. McAdoo uncon-
sciously fathers an excoriation of
himself and Of the Administration of
which he was part. How did it
come that in 1917 and 1918 he
permitted such gigantic gouging? He
practically wrote the income tax
laws, and his associate, DR.. Garfield,
fixed coal prices. Why did he not
annex the excess profits for the
Treasury, and why did the Fuel Ad-
ministrator authorize robbery? AS
neither Mr.. McAdoo nor DR.. Garfield
has put on sackcloth, it would seem
as if screw were loose somewhere
in the argument.
What it is may be surmised. Diff
ferent coal companies have different
operating costs per ton Of coal in
consequence of difference in the
thickness and accessibility Of coal
measures. A fixed price that would
barely allow some mines to keep
going brings high profits to others.
How could this be avoided except at
the cost of closing the poor mines?
And if this was so in war time it
will also be in peace time. If
the profits of the best mines are
reduccd to a small Dercentape there
is likely to be coal shortage which
will give all sorts Of opportunities
to boost prices. Only by permitting
the good mines to make extra
money and by taking large per-
centage Of it away from them in
taxes does it seem possible to keep
exceptional profits down and at the
same time insure a large coal supply.
AS to this phase Of the question Mr.
McAdoo is silent.

six months for the discussion and en-
gage not to go to war until three
months after the council has an
nounced its opinion upon the subject

enant of the league is that the nations

for nine months after a controversy
becomes acute"
That obligation, Mr.. President, re-
mains intact in the treaty if it is rati-
he'd with these reservations; the reser-
vatlons do not affect it in the slightest
degree. So when you vote to reject this
treaty. as you propose to do, you vote to

Article II is not affected by the reser-
vations nor are Articles Is, 10. 20

Article 22 is affected only by the
reservation that no mandate shall be

reject this treaty this afternoon do YOU
senators upon the other side take the
position that you are against the treaty

Vino Nullihed?

In the letter which lie Adminis-
tration Senators construed as an
order to vote against the Lodge
resolution of ratification the Presi-
Z dent, referring to the resolution.
said:
"On that ! cannot hesitate, for. in
my opinion. the resolution in that
form does not provide for ratifca-
tion, but rather for the notification
Of the treaty"
The President thus said that the
Lodge resolution, pretending to
ratify the treaty, IN fact nullided it.
he offered no argument showing
wherein there was nullihcation-was
content to emit q mere oracular 9pss
dart. Since then his friends have
been able to offer no better excuse
for his slaughter OF the treaty than
to echo his assertion.
On the other side is not only gen
eral denial that the reservations

fcation of the principal provisions
OF the covenant which are in ne
wise touched. When an unsup-
ported general assertion is met in

Poor Sonia!

In letter to The Tribune Sonia
Ginsberg, who has been dismissed
from employment in the public
schools because of her membership
in the Communist party, which has
convinced the public that it's object
is to overthrow the government by
force and violence, says she replied
to Superintendent Ettinger that she
"believed in the substitution of a
working class form Of government
for the present capitalist form Of
government"
Poor Sonia! Sympathy goes out
to her as she reveals how her little
head is muddled. Doubtless she is
a well-intentioned young woman,
who would do her duty as a human
teing. That she has a desire to
serve others is sufficiently attested
by the fact that she is willing to
follow convictions that are to her
personal disadvantage. Her sole
trouble seems to be that she feels
SO strongly she cannot think.
Substitute "a working class form
of government for the present
capitalist form of government. +"
But who are workers and who
are capitalists? Has Sonia regard
ed herself or Jack Reed as a
worker? She does not use her
hands, and neither does Jack. Does
she deem herself out of the capital
ist class? Yet she was willing to
continue to receive wages, which
are a general check redeemable in
the goods or services of Others
Sometimes, to satisfy present de-
sires, she has spent the whole of her
check. At other times, let US hope,
she has not, returning a credit to
meet future needs. Perchance she
put it in stocking or perchance
in a savings bank.
In either event she was a capital-
lst. All workers, as an incident of
the division of labor, are capital
istic; the vast edifice of capitalism is
nothing more than an extension of
what is done by every one, including
our most vehement Socialist friends.

CarbIing

Remarks addressed to the Senate
by Senator Hitchcock just before
the vote on ratification of the treaty
presented in an aggravated form
the sort of outrageous misrepresen-
tation OF which the American people
for six months have been victims.
Referring to Article X, the Con-
gressional Record shows that Sena-
tor Hitchcock said
"One of the reservations we are
asked to accept in this treaty reads
as follows:
"'The United States assumes no
obligation to preserve the territorial
integrity or the political independ-
ence of any other country or to inter
fere in controversies between ma
tions'"
Here is the language of the reser-
walton which Senator Hitchcock pre-
tended to quote from:
The United States assumes no OBJ
legation to preserve the territorial in
tegrity or political independence of
any other country, or to interfere in
controversies between nations
unless i'll any particular cases the
Congress, which under the Constitu-
ton has the sole power to declare war
or authorize the employment of the
military forces Of the United States,
shall by act or resolution so provide. y
The Senator ignored the qualify
ing clause which begins with the
word unless" and SO garbling re-
versed the meaning Of the reserva-
tion. Seldom has there been an
Amer can public man willing to re-
sort to such tactics. The only ex-
cuse that can be offered is that he
was so perturbed as to be confused
and did not realize what he was
emitting.
But Senator Hitchcock was not
alone in the misre presentation. Sem
ator Robinson, of Arkansas, was
guilty of the same offense when
describing the reservation to Article
X-indeed, practically all the Ad-
mlnlstration Senators who spoke
said or implied that the reservation
took away the obligation of Ar
ticle K.
In fact. all it does, as it's language
plainly shows, is to recognize the
authority of Congress, along with
the President, to determine in par
ticular case whether the obligation
applies.
