These theories are propounded mainly
because in the opinion of close observers
the movement in the stock is entirely

history. Its financial position has never
been equaled. Its business at present
and prospective is extremely large. In
brief in every way its Affairs are ex :
tremely favorable. Nevertheless the
sensational campaign in the stocks had
no connection for some time with the
company's position or condition.

 WHEREAS, It is far better that ninety-nine guilty men es- cape rather than that one in- nocent man should suffer !; therefore, Be it resolved by the citizens of Williams, Arizona, in mass meeting assembled, that we earnestly and respectfully peti- ton the judge of the Superior Court of Coconino county to is- sue an order granting a suspen- sion of sentence imposed. by said court in the case of "the State of Arizona, Plaintiff, vs. George Baumgal tner, defend ant"
 Before the meeting adjourn ed, petition was circulated asking the court to suspend the sentence. This was signed by over 25O citizens at the meeting and has received many more signatures since.
 The conviction of George Baumgartner can be but a mis- carriage of justice. He is an industrious and hard-working citizen-traits entirely foreign to the bootlegger- and the people of Williams want to see him freed from the unjust sen tence hanging over him, and permitted to go on with the de- velopment of his ranch upon which his labor is much needed.

H. JOHNSON WRITES
 FROM SCHWE|cH
Tells of Experiences in France and Germany-Now With Army of Occupation-Longss to Return to Good Old U. S.. A.-May Be Kept in Ger many for Many Months

1 Away De NSPt HI ser
 many for Many Months
 Jan. 10, 1919 Dear Brother :-
 Will try in a few words to answer the two letters which 1 received from you today.
 So you have lots of snow and cold weather. l sure would like to be there to try some more skating like we used to in the good old days when we were kids.
 We have not had any snow here yet that has stayed on the ground more than one day but we sure have had lots of rain. Yesterday was the first day the sun has shone for over a month and it is cloudy already tonight and looks like more rain.
 I also have gotten a letter from mother. She asked if I get the Williams News. You can tell her yes. And l hope she will continue to send it. while the war was going on I :. was unable to get it for I was not at the company when it came in and they were misplac- ed and I did not get them, but it is much better now, for 1 get it as soon as they come in.
 I also got the two pictures you sent to me and I was glad to get them. The one on the. Flagstaff road sure looks natu- ral-just like we used to do it when I was home for l fixed tires on that road myself more. than once.
 Mother also asked how we celebrated the ending of the war.
 That was the first real nights sleep I got in 97 days which is the exact number of days we were at the front.
 There was not much noise- Everything seemed so still and yet it seemed almost impossible that the war had ended, for we knew nothing about the signing of the armstice until about 10 o'clock of the same day.
 That afternoon you could see our men putting up the pup tents and building fires. By dark you could see thousands of fires all over the hills and ir the valleys, where but few hours before one of these fires would have spelled death to it's maker; where even a match or a cigar would have made a target, for the eye of a Hun was watching and waiting for just that little spark to show him where to shoot. It was cold and frosty those and nights and sleep ing on the ground was not a very pleasant experience.
 I was sleeping at the time of the signing of the armstice in an old German prison camp which we had captured. There were glass windows in the top of the building. / There was al so on the outside a battery of our eight inch guns. Every time they fired one of those guns it would break a window with the concussioa, so you can how much sleep we would get when they kept that up every night until the order came to stop.
 I was sleeping in a town on the St. Michel sector at a. Red Cross station and it was raining outside winch they to shell the town. The Red Cross man said never mind they can't hit this part of the town He had not more than said it when a shell took the top of the building off, There wasn't a single man hurt.
 There are a lot of tales like this 1 could tell but I am going to leave them until I get home, which I am afraid will be a. long time. from now, maybe not until summer Of course E

MASS MEETING ASKS
 SUSPENDED SENTENCE

ly Respected Citizen Senten'
 ced to Imprisonment on the
 Charge of Violating Dry Law
 The people of Williams crowded the Sultana Theatre to it's capacity here Thursday in a protest meeting, at the sent encing of George Baumgartner to a term in jail on a charge of selling intoxicating liquor.
 MT. Fred Ferguson presided, calling the house to order and stating the object for which the meeting had been called.
 Judge X. N. Sleeves next took the floor and carefully ex- plained the case, showing how MT. Baumgartner had been convicted on the strength of "spotter" evidence alone, and this when practically all the substantial citizens of the com munity would willingly have taken oath that they knew Geo. Baumgartner to be above such violation of the law, and that he could be but the victim of circumstances.
 MT. T. H. Cureton, champion of the dry forces in Williams during the fight for a dry state next took the floor and argued earnestly for a suspension of the sentence against Mr. Baum gartner. MT. Cureton mention ed how, after the passage of the dry law, George Baumgart- ner came to him and said "Well you have beaten us, MT. Cure ton, and I want to say that for one, I am going to obey the law" MT. Cureton went on to ssay that altho he had reason to suspect many of violating this law, he was firmly convinced that MT. Baumgartner had kept his word and had not sold a drop of liquor since the pro- hibitory amendment went into effect.
 The following resolution was next put to a standing vote and was adopted unanimously with the exception of three people in 3 crowded house. The reso- lution follows:
 Resolution
 WHEREAS, George Baum gartner. respected citizen of the town of Williams, Arizona, was indicted and convicted in the Superior Court of Coconino County on the charge of illeg- ally selling and disposing of spirituous liquor, and which conviction was, on February 1st., 1919, affirmed by the Su- preme Court of Arizona: and WHEREAS, The indictment and conviction of the said George Baumgartner was se- cured and based solely upon the unsupported testimony of three nonresident, alleged de- tectives; and
 WHEREAS, After a resi- dence in the town of Williams that covers a period of more than twenty-five years, George Baumgartner is known to the citizens thereof as a sober, up- right, law-abiding, and highly respected man; and
 WHEREAS, Not even an in situation was ever made by any citizen of the Williams precinct to any peace officer thereof to the effect that the said George Baumgartner was guilty of vii plating the prohibition laws of the state; but, upon the con- trary, 1t was a well-known fact to every peace officer, pronibi- tionist, and believer in law-en- forcement in the precinct where he resided that the said, George Baumgartner was one of the strictest observers of the prohibition law therein: and
 WHEREAS, We firmly be- lieve George Baumgartner to be absolutely innocent of the charge upon which, he has been indicted and convicted, and 1 posed upon him by the Superior that should the sentence inn |

The copper mines of Montana and
Alaska, for example, are being kept
open and in operation only at great
cost and loss, in part upon borrowed
money; the zinc mines of Missouri,
Tennessee and Wisconsin are being
operated at about one-half their ca
pacity; the lead of Idaho. Illinois
and Missouri reaches only portion
OF its former market: there is an
immediate need for cotton betting.
and also for lubricating oil which
cannot be met--all because the chan
nels of trade are barred by war when
there is no war. The same is true OF
raw cotton, of which the central en-
pires alone formerly purchased near
ly four million bales. And these
are only examples. There is hardly
a single raw material, a single i'm
portant foodstuff or a single class OF
manufactured goods which is not in
the same case. Our full, normal
profitable production waits on peace.
"Our military plans of course wait
upon It.
THE nations that ratify the trea

and France, will be in position to
lay their plans for controlling the
markets Of central Europe without
competition from us, IL we do not
presently act. We have no consular
agents, no trade representatives

There are large areas of Europe
whose future will lie uncertain and
questionable until their people know
the final settlements OF peace and
