An article on the troubles of getting
out a Newspaper is here quoted from:
"A first-class printer will set 5000 ems
q day, or ah at $4,000 letters. The
distance travelled by his hand is two
feet for every letter he sets, a daily
distance of 4 5000 feet. or a little more
than nine miles. In one year., leaving
out Sundays. the printers hand
travels about 5000 miles"
With the modern linotype machine
now used it is possible for a printer
to set as much type in one hour as
one did then in a full day of longer
hours.

 About Sept. 15

Last of the American Elxpeditiorary forces in France will sail for the United States on or aboBt September 1, ac- cording 10 an embarkation schedule recently completed by Secretary of Tar Baker in Paris.
 The schedule was adopted April l ,, on which date there were approxi- mateiy 1.8g0.090 troops in France. Slight changes might of necessity be made from time to time which would, of course delay the start from France. Any agreenerc reached by which American troops would participate in the defense of the Rhine for an iuaef- mite period would also alter the prep aralioHs made by Secretary Baker
 Present plans cali for the return of 2T5,0C0 men this month, 250. .eG0 in May and 300, 500 in june. This last named monthly rate Will Epe maintained. it is hoped, gntI au msn are back in this country.

 There is one name opposite which ls gold star It is a name that might not appear in an official list of the boys who went from Phoenix, since the bearer of it was not A member of an Arizona organization. He was John Baggiore. Jr. who early in Americas participation in the war enlisted in the navy at Mare Island. He was assigned to the ill-fated Cyclops which was soon to figure in one of the many impene- trabie mysteries of the sea.
 The last heard of the CyclOps she left a South American port for New York. When she had net arrived at the expected time uneasiness was at once felt for in these days of the wire less the failure of vessel to make port at the expected time and then to send no explanation is serious matter.
 Hours heightened into days, and the navy department though protesting not to have abandoned hope prepared the country for the worst When weeks had elapsed the missing vessel was stricken from the navy list and trans ferred to the list of sea mysteries.
 What fate the Cyclops met will prob ably never be known. It was at first hoped that she had been captured by a raider, though there were not, so fa.r as known, any sea raiders in that part of the world. There was a possibility that she had been sunk by a submarine but at that time there were no subs so far as known, operating in the waters on the route of the Cyclops Beside, she could hardly have been sunk without q trace. certainly not without an opportunity to send out q wireless message.
 It is only known that the Cyclops never came to port.

Quiet, Unassuming Phoenix Boy Won the Name of Bal loon Killer Was Second In List of American Aces and Only His Death Kept Him From Being First-Aviators of All Armies Pay Tribute to This Boy

Lieutenant Frank Ilnke-he lived 40 blazing days on the western front and then against insurmountable odds he paid the supreme sacrifice. Lieutenant rank LHke had said. They'll never 3ke me a prisoner of war" And Lieu enaut Frank Luke paid his life because ne steadfastly adhered to that state ment

Completing his preliminary training on the coast, Lieutenant Luke was sent overseas where he started on the last lap of his training. He was soon ready for active air service on the front
 And then of a sudden came flashes Of the achievements of the Phoenix boy. Daily the press of the country gave to the public the records of this youth Eagerly they watched him fly into German battery nests. conquer his adversary and then fly safely back to his hangar.
 fFWhat did Luke do today 2" became Q national watchword. Lieutenant Luke was near and dear to them all. He was Q, true American rnau-an Ari- zona fighting man, if you please. He didn't know how to quit; he didn't know when he had enough. Only death was enough for Frank Luke. Jr.
 Did Not Return
 Then came the day when Luke did not return to his squadron. At first, his disappearance was not taken seri- oTSly by his brother officers for it frequently happened that aEirtors fly ing at right landed at some spot other than their home field.

 Corporal Morris, more familiarly known as 'Dode' Morris. waived all claim for exemption under the selectiye service regulations notwithstanding the fact that he had a widowed moth CT and a little daughter.

Mine eyes have seen the glory Of the mighty in their prime, Mine ears have heard their praises Sung in wondrous words, sublime; But of all the sights that fills my soul And this poor heart of mine. Is to see Old Glory waving over EhrenbretZenstein.
 We know their hearts are bleeding. And they're cast down in their shame But. if only brings them freedom For which they have no name; As the days pass into months And the months pass into years. They will learn to love Old Glory For this wealth Of bitter tears

 Lieutenant Luke had attained his majority only a short time before his death. He entered training for mii- tary aviator when 19 years old.

 No greater achievements were ac- omplished by any individual during the war than were those officially rodited to this Phoenix youth-and he. was only a youth, too. Single landed, for the greater part, he carried ,n his warfare. And when methods of lying proved inadequate to serve his purpose. he inaugurated new methods, uke's methods were always the most habardous-the most daring.
 Balloons Were His Prey
 America's ace of aces was Lieutenant rank Luke. His average of victims as greater than any other pilot from ncie Sans shores-his average was probably greater than any other pilot who participated in the war at any tme.
 3orty days of active combatant ser ich officially netted Frank Luke IS Gciman balloons and six airplanes. It vas Lieutenant Luke that inaugurated night flying Tn conducting his aerial arfare gainst German balloons, the most dangerous of all air work, he would set off about dusk.
 Tn the twilight, it was easy to discern t1e. biz Hun observation balloons aloft sgd he would attack them. Barrages most always protected these balloons hut in some unexplainable manner,
 uke always rode to safety
 His success was due to his daring methods ana the many innovations which he adopted. Luke quick of mind aadi sight. studied the problems that presented themselves 10 him as an air fighter. This air-fighting was a study lth Luke and so, when things did not go just right he endeavored to adopt new method.
 Report Of Death Delayed
