SENATE EIDpLING WHILE ROME
BURNS.

History says that Nero fiddled while
Rome burned The United States
Senate is indulging in similar past
time
Senator McCumber. Of North Da-
kota, Republican. scored the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate
last week for playing politics with the
treaty of peace and the league of
nations. Everyone knows that the
delay in ratifying the treaty is caus-
ing unrest and disturbance through
out the country and the world, as we'll
as keeping up the high cost of living,
President Wilson has stated that
the league of nations is only binding
on us morally. and it in no way limits
or interferes with our sovereign
power or any of our rights.
There are three great moral forces
embodied in the league of nations,
each of which alone will prevent wars
in the future.
The first is, that the league binds
every nation to give three months
notice before starting war. In three
months time the power Of public opin-
ion will be able to prevent the COM
mencement of that war The second
point is that no nation will be allowed
to build up a traffic in arms, such as
the great Krupp works of Germany
did, and without which Germany would
never have started the war. The
third point is that every nation sign
ing the League has agreed to impose
a commercial boycott On whichever
nation willfully attempts to start
war.
These three great principles will be
more than ample to prevent another
terrible war.
While the Senate has been dilly-
dallying with the treaty and talking
as if they were going to reject IT,
getting busy, and one of the grand
dukes Of the old dynasty actually go3
possession of the Hungarian govern
rlent for a few days, and there are
powerful influences at work IN Ger
many endeavoring to place the kaiser
back on the throne. All OF those EVIL
developments have resulted from the
hostile attitude OF certain senator's IL
regard to the league Of nations. II
there is no league Of nations there
will be nothing to prevent. the old
bloody warriors and savages OF Ger
many and Austria from plunglng
Europe into war again, and finally
drawing Us into il as they did before.
Every Senator who votes against the
league or who delays it by ofterlns
useless amendments is working IN the
interests Of future wars and further
slaughter of the human race. 1t is
said that every Senator is receiving
| pi,es of letters from his constituents
urging prompt ratification OF the
| league, which will not only prevent
future wars, bat will speedily restore
the country to normal and peaceful!
conditions. Every citizen who be-
lieves in ending wars for all time
shoull write to his Senator urging
| him 10 vote for the ratification of the
treaty.

FORESTERS IF THIS SECTION MOVE FUR
 ENLARGED INDUSTRY

The first move made in the south west in the interest of the nation wide campaign for vastly enlarged forest production and the application of for estry principles to all forest land was lnaugurated at Albuquerque, N. NJ. at meeting Of the southwestern section of the Society of American Foresters.
 The foresters advocated the immedi ate extension of state and government regulatory powers in forestry to all lands in the United States that shall be classified as primarily valuable for timber culture. It was pointed out that With destructive methods of logging in erect on the overwhelming bulk of all forest lands throughout the nation With recurrent fires devastating huge areas and rendering them sterile for decades, With little effort to provide for q future timber crop except on state and national forests, and the timber lands of few of the more proerassi,,e prlvate owners, the country is facing i'll the near future serious shortage of lumber. VI
 With this situation in mind. the soci- ety voted unanimously in favor of the following forestry program for Arizona and New Mexico.
 The passage of adequate state fire laws as -4n aid in the prevention of inc annual forest fire devastation sncb avs 10 take the form of fire-law en- !

MAKE ANOTHER MOVE
 AGAINST LAND BILL

Opponents of the land lease law, house bill No. SO, made another mov4 yesterday to render it ineffective when F. O'Brien Mann appeared at the of- flee of the secretary of state with an armload of referendum petitions to file against it, to make sure it would no, go into effect should the courts de. clare it a law.
 The law was violently opposed dur ing the legislature, but passed. It was not signed by the governor, however, and. being an emergency measure was declared by the attorney general not to be law at the time, but would be after 90 days. Under this ruling it would become operative June F. A suit was filed in court some time ago to test whether or not it is law, and if so, why and when.
 MT. Mann's petitions were not filed yesterday afternoon, there being no one there officially to receive them, but he declared he would return early this week with many more than enough signatures to refer to the people at referendum election.

 Arizona Not to Be Wanting
 Arizona, with her wonderful oppor- tunihes for the outdoor training and life of Scouts under competent leader ship, does not propose to be found wanting in the matter of taking a real interest in the training of her boys.
 Anything that is done to increase the effectiveness of The Boy Scouts of America will be a genuine contribution to the welfare of the Nation"-says President Wilson.
 The campaign is under the personal direction of William c. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury and director general of railroads, who heads the cit izens' committee

AIR SERVICE IN CALLFOR 15OOO
 MEN EVILS
Big New Branch of Army Has Many Great Opportu- mites to Offer-Pay Good and Advancement Sure

The air service is in need of 15,000 men in it's various branches, and many inducements are offered men to enlist.
 Application should be made at near est recruiting office. The age limit is between IS and 40. The enlistment is made through the infantry arm of the service, which is purely a paper trans action and necessary to comply with existing laws. Men will be transferred immediately to the air service and as- signed to duty at one of the various posts throughout the country.
 An officer, who has for 21 months been stationed at the schools of aero nautics-the United States army flying school at Southern Field, Americus, Georgia, and the United States army balloon school at Fort Omaha, Ne braska, says:
 Every enlisted man is as anxious that the airplanes and the balloons start off in perfect order as the pilots hay ing them in charge, and some enlisted men are receiving flying and balloon instruction and often accompany the pilots on extended cross country flights Most men not receiving spe- cial instructions to become aviators or pilots are taken up for practice flights blldl they lOO lidy hAOW tile StHSdllOU of flying.
 All the men are preparing them selves to be important factors in the great air service about to be inaug- urated and realize considerable time must be given to perfect themselves in whatever part they choose to take, and those who wish to be foremost in aviation should take advantage imme- diately of the governments offer and enlist
 The extent of the air service is un- limited, and I anticipate that before the close of 1920 it will be in full opera tion for commercial purposes through out the North American continent and to coutries over the seas"
 Offers Many Opportunities
 Tn the air service the man is paid for holidays there is no time lost on account of change in position. He has in time of peace liberal allowances of furloughs, free medical attendance, excellent chances to travel, free amuse- ments, athletic training, commissary privileges to married men, free clothes, free board and lodging and four per cent interest on all deposits made with the government. The following are the rates of pay, per month: PrlVale ..................$ 3O.O0 Private, first class ............. $500 corporal .................. 36.O0 Sergeant .................... 44.0O Sergeant, first class ........ 5100 Sergeant, aviation mechanician 66.0O Sergeant, first class aviation

 The following types of tradesmen are required: Radio mechanical work, wireless telegraph and telephone, radio electrictions, airplane mechanics, aero motor mechanics, propeller maker, fab ric workers, magneto repairmen, in- strument, carpenters and cabinet mak- CTS, machinists and tool makers. metal workers and welders, coppersmiths and vulcanizers, photographers, draftsmen, bench mechanics and chauffeurs.
 You can do your bit for your
 government at this time by enlist
 ing, or inducing one man to enlist.
 A number of young men may enlist together and be assigned to the same statoin as far as possible for duty; and when your instruction is completed you will have a thorough aeronautical and military education to the extent given in the air service.
 All enlisted men may take the ex- animation to become commissioned of ficers in the regular army of the United States.
 In addition to other advantages, the air service may now enlist men for direct duty in the Hawaiian and Phil ippine Islands.
