many more Of my acauaintances, are
glad to assume that title and live up
to it. Nor have all the prohibihonists
gone back to the states. There are
many among the men of the ranks

Also for his benefit would like TO
inform him that the prohibition sen,

IF our unfortunate Oasis Hunter
wants to see a real live prohibitionist
who knows what It feels like to live
in the mud. and exist on cold corned
beef. bareback and less, and VINO
knows what gas smells like and what
kind OF noise shells and machine gun

No one will deny that there are
some wet soldiers. They crop up In
the mysteries of human nature. like
the so-called black sheep in many fine
families, and like the prodigal son.
There liz always some one looking
out for them. however. and the strong
arm OF love and affection is always
stretched out ready to welcome them
back into the fold. The return OF
the wanderer is always an occasion
of rejoicing and the light is always
burning in the window for him.

Hun Preparation
 Is 10 Billion

PARIS. March 2O.-(By the Associ- ated Press.)-President Wilson, NJ. Ciemenceau, the French premier, and David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, are holding a series of meet lngs Tor the adjustment of differences between them They conferred at the residence of MT. Lloyd George today. the session lasting from o'clock in the afternoon until late in the even ing.
 The differences constitute some Of the larger questions pending now reparatiOn for war losses and the French-German frontier. These uues- tions for the moment have assumed paramount importance, taking place even ahead of the league of nations. while the work of the commission re vising the covenant is proceeding rapidly, much difficulty is being met in reaching an accord on reparations and frontiers
 The chief issue of the question of reparatiOn is not what Germany should pay but what she can nay, The commissions which have studied the subject have gradually reduced the claims to total of about S40,OOO. .OOO.- 900.
 One proposafwas to spread the pay ment over 40 years. On this basis the principal, with interest, would amount to SS0,0OO,O00, 900 at the end of the period.
 Against this proposal the commis- sion has estimated all the available wealth and, resources of Germany at home and abroad. The American view as to these estimates is that $I2, 2,OOO.- 100000 is the utmost that can be ex- pected. This S12,O0O, ,O0O, ,OOO is made up roughly as follows:
 German resources outside of that country, SS,OO0,000.000, represented in merchant ships, railways and mines in Alsace-Lorraine, coal and iron depos- its in the Sarre valley, foreign secu- rites and government property in for mer German colonies. Seven billions of this property, the commission esti- bates, belongs to private German citi. Zens, and the remainder is owned by the government Of private property. Germany has property valued at $1, ,000 100000 in South America, three quarters of a billion in the United States,

PHELPS DODGE CUTS
 ITS EXTRA DIVIDEND

The cutting of the extra dividend of $5.50 per share on the Phelps Dodge stock again called attention to the presnt position of many of the copper producing companies. These concerns are producing copper monthly and this has increased the surplus of the metal materially, because there has been no demand from consumers.
 AS matter of fact, it is stated thae many of the larger consumers of cop per are not working their manufactur- ing plants at any better than % or 30 per cent of normal, and as many of the concerns have the red metal on hand, left over since the signing of the arm istice, they are not likely to enter the market in the near future
 The management of the Phelps Dodge corporation has always been most con- servative, and in the trade it is be- heved that there will be little diff culty in continuing the regular divi. dend, but it is also the well-founded opinion that the period of extra divi- dends is passed for long time.
 Other copper companies are likely to feel the pinch soon and these will be forced either to suspend payments or reduce the rate prevailing hereto fore. AT this is necessary to readjust the industry to a peace basis, and thus far the readjustment has been very slow.

BrOphy Escapes
 Game Warden BY Change Of Brag

Flirting with the game warden is the latest indoor pastime of w. H. BrOphy of Bisbee. Fishing is his la test outdoor pastime. The story comes direct from a Phoenix hotel, where MT. Brophy has been a guest.
 Billy has been fishing the day be- fore in Roosevelt reservoir, where big bass are striking hard and furious. He had brought back a nice bag. Three others in his party were listening to his tale ,and Joe Prochaska, State game warden, was the auditor to whom words were directly addressed.
 Why I had the best luck Of a life time" declared Brophy braggingly. ''I pulled in 19 whoppers, all big mounted bass, and every one of them must have weighed four or five pounds.
 Prockaska was figuring.
 Nineteen times four, nine times five, nineteen times four and one-half." " was running through his head.
 But, I'm the biggest liar in the State" Brophy suddenly blurted out. Tt took all four of us to land them. "

 WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Should occasion have demanded it. officials in this country could have talked di- rectly to President Wilson by wireless telephone at any tune he was return ing to France on the American trans. port George Washington.
 Lieut.. Com. s. c. Hooper. chief of the radio division of the navy depart ment's bureau of steam engineering, said tonight that wireless telephone messages were sent daily to the ship from the New Brunswick high power sending station and that the voice of the speaker could be heard plainly on board the transport even after it ar rived in Brest
 AS the George Washington was not equipped with apparatus powerful enough to send telephone messages long distances, the communications from New Brunswick were acknow- ledged by wireless, Commander Hoop CT stated
 While the messages were sent only as an experiment, he said, it would have been possible for important com munications to have been transmitted in the same manner. The use of wire less telephony over such a distance. he said, did not constitute a new rec ord.

LOWELL RESIDENT RESISTS ARREST::
 KILLED IN FIGHT
Ralph A. Williams Shot Dead By Frank P. Moore During Raid on Moonshine Still; i; Officer Is Exonerated

Ralph A Williams, a former bus mess man of Lowell and Johnson ad dition, and we'll known in the War ren district, was shot and instantly killed by Frank P. Moore of the State Livestock Sanitary Board, on a ranch 20 miles north of Douglas, during the early hours of yesterday morning when he resisted the right of Moore to question him. The body of Will Hams, who was 36 years. old, was taken to Douglas and after a short deliberation Moore was exonerated by testimony of officials who were with Moore shortly before the shoot ing.
 The events which led up to the shooting as described by county of ficer show that a party of county and federal officers including Sheriff James F. Mcdonald, Deputy Sheriff Joe Hardwick; Jay F. Wilmoth. deputy United States Marshal; Geo H. Kelly and Frank P. Moore had ar. ranged to visit the ranch in search of hides from stolen cattle.
 The ranch house was surrounded by several officers who found Matt Keaton, James Afford, both of Bis bee, and Williams in the dwelling. The men were placed under tempo rary arrest while the buildings were searched. A complete distillery and several barrels of liquor were found. The distillery and liquor was con- fiscated and the men were ordered to accompany the officers to Douglas.
 A team of horses was hitched up and the eight men started on their trip to the smelter city Shortly after leaving the ranch the horses were Frightened and during a few exciting moments Williams jumped clear of the wagon and escaped into the dark brushes to the side of the road. Moore volunteered to go back to the ranch and wait in the expectancy that Will Hams would return.
 About ? o'clock in the morning Moore saw Williams approach the gate and ordered him to put up his hands and advance. Williams walked toward Moore who held a rifle. and when near him he jumped onto Moore and attempted to wrest the gun away. During the struggle Williams received bullet just below the heart. Moore remained near the body until other officers arrived.
 The body of Williams was taken to Douglas and formal inquest will be held this afternoon. It is said that federal and state charges will be pre- ierred against Keaton and Afford for transporting and manufacturing liquor without a license Mcdonald said that the distiIlery found on the keaton ranch was capable of making 20 gallons day.

League Protects Monroe Doctrine
 Declares Cecil
By Review Leaseo Wire.

N64 hcElcW LcaScQ WlEGl
 LONDON, March 20-The Liver pool Post says:
 Lord Robert Cecil places the Monroe doctrine in its true light with regard to the league of na- tiOns. He says in effect that so far from the league being the death blow to the capital article of American political faith, it is the application of that article on a universal scale.
 According to the draft of the covenants the parties to the league undertake to respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence of every member of the league. The most absolute supporter of 'Monroeism' could surely desire no more than that.
 "The independence of both Americas is guaranteed by an overwhelming majority of the powers, great and small. The league of nations will give Amer ica her rightful place in the league of the forces of civiliza- tion that hencefOrth are to shape the larger purposes of our race"
