UPHOLDS AUT HORITY OF
 STATE ENGINEER
Attorney General, Not Satis- Fled With MT. Maddock's Disposition of Army Trucks, Writes to Wash ingtOn, D. c.

Though the question of the border line of authority between the state en- Sineer's office and the commission of state institutions has not been legally decided and may never be, it reached e practical decision so far as concerns the recognition of the former by the war department.
 This controversy was precipitated in the incumbeucy of State Engineer .amar Cobb in the beginning of the last administration of Governor Hunt when the state engineer resisted the supervision which the then commission of state institutions sought to exercise tver the fiscal affairs of the depart Inent.
 There was some litigation and much ll-feeling and some super-heated cor fespondence between MT. Cobb on one land and Attorney General Jones on the other. the latter supporting the flew of the committee on state institu- tons. Governor Hunt, though he did ot definitely rule in favor of the com Taittee on state institutions, declined to support MT. Cobb and the latter re- signed.
 Under the present administration this controversy was not allowed to come up. There has been no interfer- fnce by the committee of state insti- tutions with the administration of the office by state Engineer Maddock and AiEIG tdS DGSH no Ol Ine diction of the state engineer over the business of Etate road building except such as arose, or was forced up year or more ago for political purposes, over the disposition of the state and county road fund as between the state engineer and the various boards of su- pervisors. Generally though, where that question intruded, there has been an amicable settlement, a modus vii vendi, and things have generally gone along swimmingly.
 injects His Views
 But it transpires that the attorney general attempted to inject his views of the limitations of the state engin- eer's office-that it was not state road Recommendation the negotiations looking to the distribution of trucks and other road-making equipment by the war department to the road depart ments of the various states. Copies ot the correspondence instituted by the attorney general with the war depart ment have been received at the office of the state engineer.
 It was not entirely a new disclosure There had been some exchanges be- tween the attorney general and State engineer Maddock on the subject in the course of which the latter suggested by inference the desirability of a further familiarity with the laws of the state on the part of the attorney general.
 In the following letter by the attor- ney general to the secretary of war, there is a reiteration of the opinion of

 brary, and the board of curators or

 Section of the Act provides:
 Under the regulations of this
 Act the commission shall have

 and Section 16:
 "The commission shall have gen.
 eral charge over the erection of
 new buildings and over all repairs
 and improvements of buildings.
 and of the improvements of
 grounds and other properties for
 which legislative appropriations
 are or shall be made.''
 It will be noted that the state engf- neer is not named in Section 21 as being made subject to the commission of state institutions; that he is not specifically named in Section 6, no, does his office come within the gen. eral language of the section, "of al charitable, reformatory and penal in stitutions that are or shall be by law established and maintained by the State of Arizona; the Arizona state fair. the Arizona Pioneers Historica Society. and all state institutions that are or shall be by law established ano maintained by the State of Arizona, and that the work of his office does not come within Section Is of the Ac giving the commission general charge over the erection of new buildings an6 over all repairs and improvements o buildings, and of she improvement O grounds and other properties for whicI legislative appropriations are or shal be made" nor are appropriations fol the improvement of road appropria tions for other properties within tn, meaning of Section Is. The solicitor of the department, therefore, takes th' view that, since the board of contro was abolished and the commission O state institutions created by section of the aforementioned statute is no expressly or by necessary implication given control over road work, the stat engineer now constitutes the stat highway department of the state with in the meaning of the Federal Ali, Road Act. Hence, the distribution O the motor trucks and other supple and equipment transferred from tn war department has been made to tn state engineer, since Section of tn Act of February 2S. 1919, (40 Stat. 120C 1201,) under which the motor truck and other surplus war supplies am equipment were transferred by the sec retary of war to this department, pro

The Balkan Belgium
Serbia's Heroic War Record Vividly Described
by Correspondent

German, Austrian and Bulgarian forces,
which possessed an overwhelming su-
periority both in men and in guns,
General Putnik, the Serbian COM
mander in chief, played his losing game
to the end with unfaltering skill and
tenacity. He moved his small armies
from position to position to escape
the constant enveloping movements Of
the invaders and succeeded in saving
at least the nucleus Of new fighting
machine by retreatlng into Albania.
From this region tho Serbs were
transported on Italian ships to Corfu,
an island which acquired some fame
as battle-ground as early as the Pc
loponnesian War. Then after being
thoroughly rehabilitated, they were
sent to the Salonica front, where they
played leading part in the capture of
Monastir and In the final victorious
advances that eliminated Bulgaria from
the war.

Il {Putnsm's), is an unusu-

Any ValuaOle, alCnOuSn
somewhat belated, war book AS an eye
witness the author describes the tragic
collapse of the Serbian armies before
the German Bulgarian invasion in the
fall Of 1915 and their subsequent bril-
liant recovery on the Salonica front
His account of the retreat Of the Seq
Dian forces over Il succession OF bleak
mountain ranges to the Albanian coast
than the march of Xenophon's Ten
ThouBand--is full and vivid and inter
spersed with many personal anecdotes.
MFR. Gordon-Smith is q sharp critic
OF allied policy in the Balkans. He as
serts with conviction that II the Allies
had despatched an expeditionary force
to Serbia in 1915 Greece and Rumania
would have taken up arms against the
Central Powers, Bulgaria would have
been immobolized, Turkey would have
been isolated, and the conclusion of the
war would have been greatly fastened.
He also maintains that it was serious
a minor and defensive front.
There was unquestionably much po-
! litical and military Encouragement in
the failure to relieve Serbia in the fall
Of 1915. The allied statesmen were
grossly misled by Gear Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria. But Mr.. Gordon-Smith
seems 60 exaggerate the possibilities
of the Salonica front.
Serbia may fairly be called the Bal
kan Belgium. She was also marked for
destruction by the Teutonic military
machine on the most frivolous and in
| sincere pretexts. But more fortunate
than Belgium, she was able to stand
off her invaders for more than year
Even taking into consideration the in
different quality of the Austro-Hunga-
rian troops and the defensive advan-
tages afforded by the mountainous
country south Of the Danube. the sue
cessful resistance of the Serbs to the
greatly superior forces hurled against
them reflects great credit upon the
abolity Of their generals and the pa
triotism and fighting spirit of then
troops. The breakdown in the fall OF
1915 cannot be ascribed to any def
cheney on Serbias part. The little
country was simultaneously invaded
