PHOENIX. Ariz., Jan. 3.-The case of Hicks against Cochise county, an action to collect back salary which was appealed to the state supreme court. was yesterday decided. when the high court affirmed the judgment of the lower court.
 Similar action was announced in the case of Santa Cruz county against Er- hardt and Burgess against Apache county. The three cases paralleled.
 Suits were originally brought by county officials to collect territorial salaries following the decision of the supreme court which held the county classification law of 1912 to be uncOn- stitutional.
 The supreme court held that the one year statute of limitations, when pledged, applied and barred recovery of back salaries due and payable a year or more prior to the commence ment of the action.

The prince quotes the judge as saying:
 'I left nothing to chance and al- though some points are not yet cleared up, consider that the chances are 95 out of 100 that the imperial family was massacred."
 Prince Lvoff says the judge wept as he told him that they had found on the walls of the room where the family had been confined. marks of 35 revolver bullets and many cuts which had been made by bayonets. Blood was drying everywhere on the wooden floor.

 ANTI WAR SPEECH
Rv Review Leased Wire,

CHICAGO, Jan. 3-Victor l.. Berg CT, concluding his three days of testi mony, in his own behalf, in the trial of five socialist leaders, charged with violating the espionage law. today re- peated extracts of a speech he de. livered in New York in 1917. in which he said:
 "The war was started by capitalists. It was fathered by the men in Lom- bard street and Wall street and the issues are war babies. Every time there is talk of peace one of the war babies dies of fright. The plutocrats would rather have the kaiser than a real social democracy in Germany The war is not popular in the west We have a rubber stamp congress, which is completely dominated by the national administration. Think of President Wilson sending Elihu Root to Russia to teach the people of that country democracy"
 Berger told Of a speech he delivered in 1916, in which he advocated mili tary preparedness. with the public schools as a center for universal mili tary training. He said he believed in an armed peace.
 Charges were made again today that the government had attempted to CO cree a witness.
 District Attorney Cline and his as sistsnts denied the charge.

SITUATION IS BAD
CBy Review Leased Wire

COPENHAGEN. Jan. 3.-A Riga dispatch to the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin gives a pessimistic account of the situation in the Baltic provinces. The bolsheviki, it is said, are well equipped with guns, ammunition and food, while the forces opposing them are without the very necessities of life. The German soldiers, the dis patch continues, refuse to fight and even those defending the railways are deserting their posts, making an or derly retreat of the German troops impossible.
 The correspondents say the Lithu- anians appear more interested in ere ating a number of small. insignificant posts than in organizing real defense against the invaders.
 It is reported in Berlin that 10000 German volunteers, well supplied with war materials, are on their way to the Baltic provinces.

 PARIS, Jan. 3.-Herbert C. Hoover, United States food administrator, to- day gave out a statement on the food situation m Europe in which he said: Since my arrival in Europe l nave been cooperating with the officials of the allied governments in an in vestigation of the food situation, more particularly in the liberated regions. We have made some investigation or conditions in Germany, but are not yet prepared to come to any definite conclusions.
 The population of Germany cer- tainly has enough stocks of food to carry on for a while, with the eXcep- tion of fat supplies, which are un- undoubtedly very short and are de- yeloping some conditions of disease and a great deal of social discOntent.
 Question of Concern.
 'The determination of conditions and measures necessary to relieve the liberated territories, however, must be of immediate concern. These territories comprise populations az gregating probably 125,000,O0O per sons.
 Under enemy occupation their native production has greatly dimin- ished and the stock of food that they have managed to retain from last harvest will soon be exhausted.
 Tn order that there should be no delay in providing food during the period of investigation, we have dis patched to date approximately l5O,000 tons of food to various ports in Europe and in addition the steady stream of 15O.O00 per month is being maintained in Belgium and northern France.

SINK WAR SHIPS ADMIRAL ROMAN PLEADS IN HOUSE
Capital Ships Surrendered to Allies Should Be Destroyed, but Smaller Vessels Should Be Kept, Says Officer
By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-DesructiOn of all capital ships Of the German navy. surrendered to the allies. was recommended to the house naval af- fairs committee today by Bear Admiral Rodman. who commanded the American fleet in the North sea dur ing the war.
 The admiral thought all the vessels except the capital ships should be kept.
 Admiral Rodman said the proposed annual visits ol the British fleet to this country and of the American fleet to England would help greatly to cement the feeling of friendship be- tween the nations.
 Americans Clean
 The admiral said il was freely ad- mitted among British officers that the American squadron was the cleanest and best kept of the grand fleet, so much so. that it was set as standard for excellency. The British admirllty appointed a commission to learn how the high degree of clealiness and e. ficiency was maintained, and the su- periOrity of American mechanism and Yankee ingenuity" was found to be responsible, he said.
 Speaking of the number of men re- quired to man ships in peace times, Admiral ROdman said there should be enough to man all the guns. make full speed with three watches in the. engine room. and to provide for re- placements. No reduction in the per sOnnel should be made for the sake of economy. he said, which would result in this country some day being caught mapping"
 Adoption of the British light cruiser type was urged by Admiral ROdman. The type had been tested in every form of warfare and had responded wonderfully at all times, he said. The construction of battleships should con tinue as outlined by Secretary Daniels, he said, because when ali is said and done battleships are the backbone of the navy"
