Officer Murdered in Williams.

Last Saturday evening a MeXi-
can named Simplicio Torez shot
and killed Victor H. Melick, con-
stable in the town of Williams.
The officer had just placed Torez
under arrest on a warrant charg-
ing him with stealing horse,
and without a word cf warning
drew a gun and fired three shots
into the body of the officer, kill
ing him almost instantly.
The citizens of the town soon
surrounded the Mexican in a
shack a short distance from the
the scene of his crime, and stood
guard until the sheriff and his
deputy could reach the scene
from Flagstaff. Refusing to sur
render to the officers a fulisade
was directed at the building and
one shot found its mark, wher
the man gave himself up to tile
officers. 1t was with some diff
ficulty the officers could prevent
the citizens from lynching the
prisoner, and he was hustled out
of town in an auto. He is now ir
jail at Flagstaff.
Torez had a reputation as {
bad man, and only a month age
was paroled from the peniten.

FRENCH DEFEND
THEIR INFLUENCE
IN ASIA MINOR

Paris, Jan. 3.-(Correspondence OF
the Associated Press The "rights'
of France to guide the destinies OF
Syria, Lebanon and Armenia Minor
were expounded to the Associated
Press today by M. Gout, director for
Asia in the French Foreign Office.
M. Gout asserted that it had long
been the role Of France to protect
the helpless peoples of the Orient
and recalled interventions by France
in SYRIA and Labanon to defend the
Christians and that France had play
ed a great part in the defense of the
Armenians in 1895 and 1896.
"France," he said, worked not
only to protect Christians but she
also sent missionaries into all parts
Of Turkey, not for the purpose OF
proselyting but for teaching and
charitable work. Before the war
there were French schools in all Sec
tions of Turkey, and in the great
towns there were French hospitals
for the care of the poor. In Syria
especially the number of French
schools was considerable. In Beirut
we had large university, and |
must add that the Americans also
had one, working for the civilization
IF the Syrian people. A great num-
Der of physicians were bred in the
French universities.
M. Gout called attention to the
| fact that French capital and industry
had created three of the four ports
| of Asoia Minor, and pointed to the
| great railways built and controlled
by the French. The first road open
| ed between Damascus and the coast
| the Damascus Beirut line, was
French, he said. 1t was also {
French society which before the wa,
| undertook the repair of roads il
many parts of the Ottoman empire
and French company had a conces
SIGN for big railway in Armenia
The important silk industry of Syria
he added, had been fostered and de.
veloped by France.
"We may point also to the great
| share Of France in the public debt
| of Turkey, which is nearly sixty pei
! cent" he continued "The share o1
land before the war was ten OF
;welve per cent, that of Italy nearly
| five per cent, and Germany had al
| the rest.
"There is another important phase
of the question. You know about the
great number of monasteries and re-
ligious institutions in Jerusalem. Fol
our French Catholics Jerusalem is 6
second Rome and they always have
sent money and missionaries to pro
mote the Catholic influence in thi:
holy town.
"This sums up large part of the
claims of France in Asia Minor, anc
| believe that M. Michon (Frencl
foreign minister) was entitled tt
speak of our rights there. He was
the more entitled to do so in view
of the denominations committed

against the Armenians and Syrians
by Turkish UniOnists early in the
war;"
Referring to the treaty signed by
France and England while the war
was in progress under which France
was to have supervision of Syria
Lebanon and Armenia Minor, NJ.
Gout added:
"At that time France and England
thought it necessary after the war
to give to all these populations a GER
tain future and autonomy. But we
We're obliged to note that in these
countries there are a large number
of races and religions. Great differ
ences exist between these religions
and races. 1t is not possible to give
these countries uncontrolled indie
pendence. Their best people also
agree that it is necessary to have.

B|C BREAK IN
 THE STEEL STRIKE
Four Thousand Men Decide to Return to Work at Indiana Harbor Plant Strikers Blame the Foreign Ele-
 ment for Walkout.

Chicago, Oct. 6.--Four thousand strikers, protected by eight companies of state troops and $50 armed depu- ties, marched thru the street of Indi- ana Harbor early this morning and back to their jobs at the great plant of the Inland Steel Company.
 s'i1 H,eIV -ssefaay svscu to return to work at a mass meeting at the In- diana Harbor Civics Club. Before the meeting $500 strikers signed pledges to return to work, according to William Lauerman, chairman of the employees council. Eight hundred men, who damned the auditorium of the Civics club, cheered speakers who denounced the strike and blamed it on the foreign element in the steel mills.
 Both Col. Joseph Harrison, com ;nanding the troops in Indiana Har- Dor and Gary, and officials of the com pany have assured the loyal men full protection.
 The decision of the strikers was de- clared to have blasted ali hopes of suc- cess entertained by the strike leaders, in the Chicago district. The Inland Steel Company's plant was one of the union strongholds and every effort to maintain the walkout was made.

WINTER COVER CROPS.
to Those Who Would Use
 Land Effectively.


 Land Effectively.
 Little Rock, Get. 4.-Winter cover srops have great value as winter pasture for pigs because they are rich la proteins or mMscle building food, according to J H. Mcleod. leader in livestock work wiah the Cooperative Extension Work 5f the University of Arkansas.
 Dwarf Essex rape and Bur clover surpass all other winter cover crops for pig feed because they are rich in these muscle building feeds. It has been shown by test that rape contains as much or more proteins than alfalfa that u IS Il most valuable feed for young and growing pigs.
 A rape pasture should be supple nented with corn or corn chops. The amount of corn feed depends upon the size of the pig end, as guide to fol- low, Mir. Mcleod recommends two or three pounds per day for each 100 pounds live weight of the pigs. ] Rape belongs to the same family as cabbage and does best upon rich, we'll prepared soil. In fact, if you do not have rich soil it would be bet ter not to attempt to grow it. It does best when sown in rows and cul- tivated and the'rate of seeding should be four to six pounds per acre. Plant seed just as soon as the ground is in the proper condition. It will be ready to graze within sixty to seventy days after planting. Do not plant any rape seed but the Dwarf Essex variety.
 While Bur clover is not as palatabIe to the pigs as Dwarg Essex rape, it is crop worth growing because it is al. i se s,e-' Psvt<iu UT muscle building food. The amount of grain tc feed in connection with this crop is the same as that reconinaeded for rape.
 Nearly everyone knows the value of rye, wheat and oats as grazing crop While these crops are not as strong in their food value as rape or clover they are grown successfully on soma soils where good stand of rape o, clover cannot be grown. The mair thing anyway for the hog grower ol pig club boy is to have plenty o1 green forage crops for his hogs. Tn. sooner these crops are sown, the bet ter the chance for good pasture Grazing on small grain crops can us nallsy ally he started from from 80 fo i2o day. after sowing. Fl

Germany VII Yet Win,

From the Southwest American.
 The students of the world are com ing to the conclusion that Germany will yet win, if indeed she has not al- ready done so. Noting the conditions in France and England and the Unit ed States, and considering the tend ency to curtail production in those countries, and seeing what Germany is doing in the opposite direction, it is not hard for student to find that Germany is winning. Take this para graph from recent preachment:
 Meanwhile, Germany has buckled down to the job of becoming a world power again as soon as possible. Busi- ness is being sought with France England and America. German work, men do not even ask an eight-houl day. because that does not give then sufficient time to work and producs wealth for themselves and the coun try. In some parts of Germany ths workingmen have demanded ten hour day. In short, Germany is going to produce because the economist, there, and the laboring classes as we'll have decided this is the solution fo' high living costs, and also the way t, make the country prosperous. Tn victorious countries should realiz' that they will meet very stroni German competition, and goverl themselves accordingly. They can no continue to cut down production an expect to hold their own"
 Work has always won in this ol world and it always will. There ha been devised no system, no theory that will enable people to escap work. It is with the nations as wit the individuals, and it is well under ceeds best. In every shop and fas
 tory, in every business, the men an
 women who work succeed better tha those who shirk. 4#N3A

worthy model by which to pattern.
 Being an American citizen meant more than simply digging ditches, or working at other tasks, to the Great American It repelled him to think that men came here from other coun- tries to make money only; he consid- cred it essential that they should un- derstand something of the country to which they had come. that they should bend their energies to becoming use full citizens. A firm believer in the dignity of all labor, he hoped to see all workingmen enlightened as to their important part in the making of America. There was nothing halfway about his views on the matter, of course; his perception of the futility of wagering loyalty stimulated him to demand nnrerit.irss icy1lt;y to Amer ica.
 We have room in this country for but one flag" he said. "the Stars and Stripes, and we should tolerate no allegiance to any other flag, whether a foreign flag or the red flag or black flag. We have room for but one loy- alty. loyalty to the United States; we have room for but one language, the language of Washington and Lincoln
