On her way to the Orpheum the
alter in Los Angeles, where she was
playing last week, a soldier spied
Miss Schaller and followed her to
the stage entrance. He waited until
after the performance. Margaret
Schaller stepped out, and came face

Arizona Men Not Hard

The 158th was not selected because of a reputation for being hard, but be- cause of it's reputation as soldiers. AL though deprived of the privilege of going up it was considered one of the best disciplined regiments of the A. D. F. and for that reason was chosen to straighten out conditions in the Chelles district While acting as a training Cadre in France special orders from the First Army headquarters had to be issued to prevent the N. c. O.s from going to the front as privates with our replacements. And the courage of no officer of our regiment can be ques- tioned after the exceptional record made in action by the many that were fortunate enough to be sent up.
 "The only reason the old First Ari- zona was not among the first to go overseas was because it did not get enough volunteers to fill it to the re- quired strength. At that time it had been in federal service longer than any other national guard regiment.

The other old men of Com panies A and K refused to do Smiths dirty work and were given jobs such as sentry duty, walking post, etc. Smith, Bush and their 'bombproofers' had charge of the prison and were re- sponsble for the teasling and beating up. It was the evidence of the old men of the companies that convicted Smith, Bush and their 'bombproofers' at the court martial
 The old men of Company A (Phoe- nix's own company and Company K should be commended for the stand they took. Only soldier can realize the petty indignities to which they were submitted by their officers for taking that stand.
 "The assigning of such a class of bombproofers' together with putting a man like Lieutenant Smith (whose character was we'll known) in charge shows plainly the attitude of those higher up in regard to handling prison CTS, and would indicate the character of the orders given us.

COMMISSION ENDS
 ITS TAX HEARINGS

Thirty-seven hearings on various subjects, all of them granted persons seeking lowering of the assessed yalu- ation of their property, were held by the state tax commission, sitting as a board of equalization, which completed a week of public hearings yesterday.
 The commission will spend Monday going over the state budget and setting final valuations. Its report will be issued next Tuesday, it was announced. The total valuation of property within the state, and the sum it is determined is necessary to be raised, will deter mine the tax rate for state purposes.

Sailors Want
Their Jobs
To the Editor of The Tribuae.

" tftC LUtOf " i Hc L ftOUU0'
C1R: We were soldiers and got released
- from service December "a and Decem-
Der 27 Before the war we were civil
ian sailors, and belong to the Seamens
Union. Now that we are back we want to get
to our old work at In your paper the
other day you printed two items, that it
has been decided to man all outgoing vessels,
excepting for the present those steamers
engaged in the transport Of troops, with
merchant sailors, and the other, seeming
to contradict it, that the Secretary of the
Navy expects he will need 100000 men dur
ing the coming year to man new ships put
out by the Shipping Board.
We wanted to ship on the Panuco at
first, but mates told us that though
she had been transferred back to the Ward
Line for the coast run South she is still
manned by the navy, and that navy crews
still on cargo ships operated by private
companies. To-day we hear that the navy
has taken the Nansemond away from her
civilian crew. We have been talking with
United States civilian sailors Just back from
the zone, who have been put out of
coal ships after they had worked in them
all summer and autumn while the
on, in order to make room now for navy
crews. Meantime we knock around New
York with poor chances Of job, because
there are so many civilian sailors crowding
all the shipping Offices and not enough
ships to employ them.
We talk while we're waiting with navy
men assigned to these ships who want to
get their discharge from the navy now the
war is over and head home for the shore
jobs they left. They feel they're close to
being in the conscript labor class. What
we'd like TO know is, What is going to be
done for civilian sailors, and why does the
navy horn in on this proposition? Some
of our boys coming to be panhanders
or moochers on their families, because mer-
chant ships are being run by private COM
panies with navy crews, and all the new
cargo boats are being turned over to navy
manning fast as they come out of the
yards.
Now they say around the docks that more
ships are going to be taken away from the
merchant marine because some of the big
ger cargo boats that have been run all dur
ing the war by civilian crews are to be fitted
up to carry boys back home, and the
aboard and manning the ships with gobs
What we can't get through our heads for
the life of us is why the boys can't be
brought back by civilian sailors, all of them.
United States merchant sailors took the
first troop transports to France. Why
should the navy hang to job, now the
fighting is over, that it only did the lesser
part of, anyway, when it means keeping
navy boys away from the shore jobs they
banker after and civilian sailors out OF
jobs they have right to, and delays get
ting the merchant marine back onto a
peace basis? But, first of ALL when do we
get jobs back on coastwse ships that
we left to go into the army?

Speed

While the aircraft manufacturers
were at dinner Tuesday evening, to re-
ceive, among other things, the congratu-
lations of Secretary Baker for their
achievements in the war, the wires were
humming with news that what is be-
leved to be a new world record for air
plane speed has been made in trip from
Dayton to Cleveland. In new Glenn
Martin bombing plane, driven by two
Liberty motors, Eric Springer, pilot, and
his mechanician covered a distance of
215 miles in l hour and Is minutes That
was an average Of 172 miles an hour.
The total weight of gasolene, tools and
baggage carried was $500 pounds. 1t
was not intended as a speed test.
During the war there have been MANY
sensational announcements of great speed
attained. AS a rule, they were under
conditions that forbade accuracy of re-
porting and comparison. 1t goes with
out saying that air conditions, and espe-
clally prevailing gale, can make an
enormous difference There is little doubt
that flights have been made at greater
speed than 172 miles per hour but they
were pretty clearly combinations of wind
power plus machine power. We shall
soon now again have airpane contests
under controlled conditions, and we shall
then be able to judge how great an ad-
vance in speed was made during the war.
The pre-war international record was
that made in 1913 by Provost at Rheims
in a Deperdussin plane. That was about
200 kilometres, or almost exactly 1926
miles, per hour.

What Has Allied Us
(Fron1 The ViUager)

TNHERE are two claims of which public
L. opinion is always shy; complete
novelty and infalliblity When Mr.. Will
son discovers that in the feeling for
league Of nations mo such sudden and po-
tent union of purpose has ever been wit
messed in the world before" the plain
feels his enthusiasm cool, for he knows
that seldom are potent actions sudden
ones, and never have socety's enduring
institutions been effected by turn of the
wheel. And when Mr.. Wilson alleges his
plan, mans plan, the final enter
prise of humanity" a chill of distrust
courses the spine of Common Sense.
There is nothing new in the league of
nations. Not Kant with his EaUige F'3-iede,
not Alexander with his Holy Alliance, are
the forerunners of it, but the covenants
made-and broken--through centuries OF
international relations, the whole slowly
building body of international law, this
very balance of power against which there
is so much outcry-these are the begin
nings of the league of nations, and 1T is
upon their foundations we must labor. 1t
is not to rectify the mistakes of our
fathers but to carry their good work
that is the burden of great task to-day
Necdfully and rightfully the balance Of
power has had to precede the preponder
ance of power, and Mr.. Wilson is secure
in his assumption that it is to this latter
stage we are edging forward. But the
prcponderancc of power such as the Allied
nations as yet--let us speak frankly
precariously hold against the German idea
implies not only ability to deny self
interests fer a common ideal; it implies
the common ideal.
That ideal is not to prevent war What
has cemented the alliance of the Allies is
higher than this. Mr.. Wilson feels a tide
running in the hearts of men "everywhere"
There is in truth such tide, but it did
not set in only to-day. If it had, if it were
no more than the tide which swept war
sick Europe century ago. we could
remark only that there Is limit to mems
physical and nervous endurance and that
beyond it desperate reaction sets in; such
a fact may be psychologicaly important

Bohemia and Bohemians

There is so little in a name, after ALL
as Shakespeare has pointed out. A long
time ago Western Europe got the idea, IN
some now unknown way, that the original
home Of the gypsies was Bohemia, so it
called them Bohemans and regarded
them as wandering, undependable and
unstable lot. By one of those gradual
evolutions common to words, the term
bohemian" has come to represent type
to which those to whom the title applies
are rejoiced to belong, and which is
rather looked at askance by those who
do not
SO it is something of an anomaly that
the Bohemians-the real ones, territori-
ally spcakng-are the only people in the
disintegrated Central Empires who are
displaying the very characteristics that
Bohemians" are supposed to lack. Bis
marck once said that Bohemia was the
centre of gravity for mid Europe. and
this once piece of the Austro- Hungarian
patchwork is demonstrating its right to
the compliment. In all the chaos follow
ing the collapse of the Germanic allies
the Bohemians are the only ones who
have kept their heads and established
government that is functioning smoothly

of Linden Tenn, as to government owner

your quotation from his opinon
81 believe that government control Of
transportation facilities is the only cor.
rect system. l do not believe the public
should be forced to pay more than the
actual cost of transportation of passen-
gers and freight. 1t should not be mace
to pay a profit to the owners Of the fssii-
tiles"
This is very enlightcning. It so happens
that l have just returned from Norfolk
Va, and find that il cost me about $40, or
35 per cent, more to get to Norfolk and re-
turn over the same route as compared with
the former rate under private ownership
What bosh his talk about economy is.
Not only is travelling with government
ownership" far more expensive but the gov
ernment is now controlling the express COM

The Postmaster General gives us this
unexpected glimpse of his unconscious
mind:
Mr.. Mackay has found the newspaper
press Of the country very scrviceable in
the PRONUNCIATION of his complaints
against the government operation of
telegraph service, but notwithstanding the
announced policy Of the Postmaster Cen
eral, that there will be no change affect
ing the press wire service EXCEPT to i'm
prove it wherever possible, the general
manager of the Postal Telegraph and
Cable Company in his recommendation to
the Postmaster General suggested that
the newspapers were enjoying special
privileges which might properly be dis

Mr. Burleson is astonshed, first. at
Mr.. Mackay because, though he needs
the newspapers on his side, he flaunts
them, and then at the newspapers be-
cause, though he himself has sought to
proptiate them in their self-interest.
they are not all on his side. So we have
Mr.. Burleson's true opinion of how
persons and newspapers are motivated.
