EXCHANGED, May 1O.-Allied ar mics will soon be out of northern Rus sia, but they leave permanent evi- dence of their occupation that is ap- perciated. Archangel had a popula- tion of 37,0O0 before the war. This has been more than doubled by the establishment of allied headquarters and the large force required for hand ling munitions. Sanitation was at the worst before the coming of the troops.

WILL FOE SIGN? BISDEEANS GIVE
 THEIR OPINIONS
Majority Verdict Says That Huns Will Submit After
 All Wiles Exhausted

With only ten days left of the fif- teen allotted Germany in which to &C., cept the allied peace terms handed her envoys at Versailles Wednesday, and with high officials in Berlin breathing defiance an dthreatening an alliance with Russia the question of the hour is:
 Will Germany sign?"
 Here are the opinions of some prominent Bisbee citizens on the sub ject, as compiled by the Review:
 Jacob Erickson, Mayor: They'll have to sign it. There is nothing else for them to do. If they don't sign it the country will become anarchistic and will be overrun with Bolshevism. The9 must pay the cost now and with out any debating in the matter.
 Mrs. c. J. Mccabe, assistant secre- tary local Red Cross chapter: I think the terms of the peace treaty are just and none too severe.
 J. w. Ross, attorney at law: Some of the terms are impossible of per formance. If France takes the Sarre Valley coal fields and the Allies take Germany's merchant marine, the coun- try is virtually cut off, and it will be impossible for her to settle her debts, let alone the menace to the food SUD- ply of her people. It will eventually result in the groupin gof Germany, Russia and what is left of Austria Hungary against the allies and again threaten to disrupt the world. An army in the Balkans would overrun Italy without very much trouble.
 B. p. HaIleck, city engineer: The terms are not unjust in my opinion. It means the security of the world will be assured. Never again will ruth less foe draw the sword in an attempt to destroy humanity.
 Arthur Notman, Supt. of Mines, P D. Corporation: They'll probably stall around for awhile and attempt to get the terms reduced, but they have no alternative. The terms are reason able enough.

FOE WOULD EXCHANGE
 'SCIENTIFIC' THOUGHT

PERI IN, May 10.-German medical men want to resume scientific rela- tions with the nations Germany has fought. The Berlin Medical Society found the French Academy of Science would receive them only after they had publicly disapproved deeds of German military authority.
 The society voted down a motion to make such a declaration, because it was said French military men had been guilty of equally inhuman acts toward German prisoners. So the all lied world will get along for awhile without Germa nscience.

Berlin Dances Wines and Dimes While Allies Puzzle Over How Much Huns Can Pays Ruined Britain Making
 Merry; Wild Extravagance in These United States

and member of several cabinets, de- clares Great Britain is not far from bankruptcy. To the tremendous costs of the war he adds the present dis organization of British industry. To- day there are more than 100000 per. sons idle in the British Isles. In the two districts of Lancashire and Ches- hire there is as much unemployment as in the whole United States.
 The industrial prostration England knew at the time of our civil war owing to being cut off from much of Americas raw material, was trivial to what England knows today, yet London never was so gay superficial ly. As in Berlin there is a craze for dancing. In the great town houses it has become the custom to have danc- ing parties night after night with a supper or breakfast ats a. m. to mark the closing of the festivities. And yet in India, the largest dependency of the British empire, there rages one of the greatest famines in history, and there is rebellion in Egypt and near rebellion constant in Ireland.
 In America there is extravagance unprecedented. The trade in jeweiry, in the four months of December, January, February and March is said to exceed any twelve months on rec ord. There is a barbaric demand for diamonds, rubies, pearls and such things. So, too, with fine furs.
 There is a worldwide craze for splurging. To many persons this may seem abnormal. It is not unusual. It follows every war. It is mans un- conscious effort to even the distriDu- tion of joys, or what pass for joys, with sorrows. Life is series of re- actions.
 This is bnly a temporary, trans.- tory manifestation. The world will sober bit later The world always balances itself somehow.
 Despite the present manifestations of waste, carefless living, extrava- gance and hectic frivoling the world has been enriched by the war and the soul of man has been stirred to bet ter things.

ARIZONA MAN HEAPS
 GOALS OF FIRE UPON
 HUN CAPTIvES' HEADS

PARIS, April 12-(By Mail)-An Arizona man-Mr. John E. Perry of Miami, is helpin to heap coals of fire upon the head of the the hapless Hun. Those who have heard the story of the German prison camps told by thou sans of repatriated allied soldiers in every language from Servian to Rus sian may not be particularly enthu- siastic about it but the Y. M c. A. is now repeating among the prisoners held by the American Expeditionary forces, the same sort of work that they were permitted to do for our own countrymen in the German prison camps. Among those active in the work which has already reached about 45,000 prisoners, is MT. Perry of Miami.
 The Huns that cried Kamerad be- fore the terrific assaults of Americas fighting doughboys are kept in en- closures, about 450 to each enclosure, and under the guard of some eighty American soldiers. The greatest num- Der of these enclosures are situated near Bordeaux, Bar-leDuc and St. Nazaire.
 One of the fundamental ideas be- hind the welfare work for the cap tured Germans is that camp discipline within the enclosure is greatly facili- tated if the men are kept from get ting restless and if facilities Of self betterment are generously provided Of course all the work of the "Y" is under the direct supervision of the American army authorities and ap- proved by them
 From furnishing free seeds for the prisoners war gardens to supplying text books in their own language, sup plies for athletics, sheet music and instruments, games and writing pa- per, the work of the War Prisoners Aid department of the Y. M. c. A. covers wide and varied range.
 One of the features that tends to add to the interest of the prisoners in the work is the fact that they them selves have a chance to determine, within certain limitations, the nature and scope of the service rendered. It is an ideal which appeals strongly to the Germans who have heretofore had most of their activities prescribed for them from outside sauces.
 In each prison camp enclosure is a committee of IT members, known as Y. M. c. A. help committee, which is chosen by the prisoners themselves. From this number subcommittee have been formed, each of which has an English speaking member to keep all the records. These sub-commit- tees include one on education, enter tainment, athletics, music, religious work and camp service. The Y. M. C. A. secretary in charge of the enclos- ure may meet with any or all of the committees and help to direct the work in accordance with the general plans of the organization.
 Special stress has also been laid on developing local talent and the men are encouraged to supply their own entertainment. In January, when the work was in the formative stage, only five entertainments were given, but there were 15 in February. Twleve educational classes were held in Jan uary, but by February the number had increased to 40. They were distribut- ed during these two months no less than 21,900 books and pamphlets.

 Miss Martha Greeley, girls secre- tary Y, w. c. A.: was in Germany a. the outbreak of the war The spirit of the German at that time was that of boastfulness. They are a proud nation and they will not accept the terms until they have exhausted all their cunning diplomacy and there is no alternative but to affix their sig natures to the treaty The terms might appear severe to the German people, but it is the price they must pay for Bathing the world in blood. They'll sign up or face a blockade that vii soon bring them to their already weakened knees.
 Rev. Compton, pastor First Baptist church: I have read the text of the treaty very carefully and it is a mas. terpiece that we might well be proud to hand down to the future genera. tions as an example of what future nations might have to pay if they at tempt to again hurl the world into d giant crucible of death. Germany will sign, but she might be reluctant about it. It is so just that Germany can't refuse.

 Some persons saw, or thought they saw, signs of great religious awak- ening as a consequence of the war. They thought the depths of the soul of man had been sounded by the hor- TOTS and the agonies of the years of unparalleled tragedy. . The only reflection of such a feel ing in evidence today is voiced in the poems of men like Kilmer, Seeger, McCrear and a few others who, on the eve of making the supreme sacri- flee, wrote lines that will live so lons as man remains on earth,
 Nothing of the spirit breathed through "The Spires of Oxford" CA Tree" 'In Flanders Field" and '1 Have a Rendezvous With Death, ," stirs the world today. Instead there is riot of waste, careless living, ex- travagance and hectic frivoling.
 Germany, on the brink of an abyss of debt and privation, which means, perhaps, a century of tribulation and tribute, dances. While statesmen study what 1t is possible for Germany to pay, we hear of German gambling in the streets at day and prancing about the floors of beer halls at night, despite riot and civil warfare in many German cities by day ana by night.

score in a hard fought game yesterday
afternoon. The men left yesterday
morning. unaccompained by rooters,
to do their best to make the last game
cf the season a success.
During the first quarter the local
eleven kept the ball within 90 yards
of the Baker goal and several times
threatened it. The last part of the
game was a see-saw. No substitutes
were used by the Pendleton team,
while the opposing forces had to put
in six or eight new men during the
course of the game.
A swim in the Baker Y. NJ {. A.
swimming pool and high school
dance followed the game. The boys
arrived home early this morning.
This is the last game of the season
for Pendleton. So many of the first
string men have been unable to play
this season on account of injuries that
Earl r. F'leischman. the coach, de-
serves much credit for the showing
the boys made the last two games.
