ings from England and America.
Fair Play Expected.

Fair Play Expected.
Fair play is a jewel. 1t is incon-
ceivable here that American public
opinion will indorse a policy of be-
ing generous to France at England s
expense. The whole subject OF war
debts should be revised on plan of
equal justice all around.
The writer speaks frankly because
he regards an Anglo-American un-
derstanding as the most important
interest in the world today and no
good purpose would be served in
ignoring the fact that a deep under
current of feeling exists here on the
gross unfairness with which this
country is being treated in the mat
ter of common burdens of the war.
The new Parliament assembled this
week for preliminary formalities, but
the ceremonial opening by the hlhs
takes place Tuesday next, when a
forecast of the new government
program will be delivered in the
Kings speech.
The troubles of the government are
already taking shape. The situation
in Egypt raises the question OF the
attitude of the new ministry toward
the League of Nations. The Liberals
and Laborites insist that the machin-
cry of the league should be invoked
in the matter, but the sentiment in
the government leans to the vie"
that Egypt is a domestic issue not
coming within the orbit of the
league.
Agriculture Is Problem.
A further serious problem for the
government has arisen in regard TO
the position of agriculture. Prime
Minister Baldwin invited the farm
ers' organization to the conference
but the farmers replied asking either
subsidy or protection. and the gov
ernment answered repeating the ne
cessity for an inquiry.
The issue raises the greatest DIM
Guilty for the government whose ira
dition is to favor agricultural inter
ests, but the plain fact of the matter
is that industry in the towns is SUI
fering from depression far more than
agriculture, and any preference
shown to farmers would be bitterly
resisted by the industrialists.

SEARCH FOR w. C. WILSON.
THOUGHT LOST ON DESERT

Afforded clue which may result
in the finding of the body of William
C. Wilson, telegraph operator lately
employed by the Santa Fe, further
search of the desert where Wilson'S
hat and coat were found will be un-
dertaken by parties who returned af-
ter covering the ground several miles
around the spot where the discarded
clothing was found.
Wilson leaped from the car of
friends, with whom he was returning
from Aqua Caliente to Phoenix, in
sisting he was going back to the for
ner city. He left the car 20 miles
from Arlington, which is about SO
miles west of Phoenix. The spot
where he leaped from the car is about
half way between Arlington and Aqua
Caliente. His location is 25 miles
from food and 10 miles from water,
which one unacquainted with the
desert would find only by mere
chance. Sheriff Sullivan of Maricopa
county is of the opinion that one lost
afoot in that locality unless found in
a very short time, is almost certain
to suffer an agonizing death.

$4,000 SHEEP WILL CROSS
NEAR MESA TO REACH

for their summer vacation"
Officials Of the Phoenix forest su-
pervisor's office, in charge of the

for the annual northward pilgrimage
Of sheep on April 20. Feed conditions
this year have made it advisable to
let the bars down 10 days earlier, T,
T. Swift, district supervisor announc-
ed.
The shepherds and their flocks
make the trip annually, coming south
from the Sitgreaves national forest
in the White mountains region and
Indian reservations early in the fall,
and going back in the spring. Like
many other visitors to the Salt River
valley they never fail to return each
year for the warm rays of Phoenix
winter sunshine.
The trail over the Tonto range is
known as the Heber-Reno trail, and
the sheep are given 40 days to make
the jaunt by forestry officials. Shep-
herds see to it that their respective
flocks do not loaf along the way, as
they must be off the range within the
allotted 40 days.

THIS WINSLOW KITTY Is
AN UNUSUAL TRAVELLER

An unusual traveller is Imp, black
cat with impish and pretentious ways,
whose domicile is the Santa Fe freight
station. Living around moving trains
and railway men who come and go
with the ever changing day, Imp has
acquired something of the ineffable
wanderlust of the knights of the road.
To satisfy this uncomfortable urge
Imp has become somewhat of black
knight of the road himself. In fact,
he has taken two trips to Flagstaff,
travelling de luxe on the local. Imp
is a fastidious cat and will not con-
descend to ride in box car, but must
have his cushioned corner in the ca
boose. Lately he has been casting de-
signing eyes ON the California Linz
tied. Those who know him will not be
surprised if he hops on the Santa lFe's
most exclusive and finest some pleas
ant day and hies to the coast for a
dip in the ocean.
The first time Imp journeyed to
Flagstaff he hid under the caboose
bunk so as not to attract any more
attention than necessary. When he
made his appearance the first thing
he did was to run in front of SUI
perstitious brakeman, who backed out
of the caboose and ran the whole
length of the train to warn the en-
gineer to be on the lookout for an
impending calamity. During the rest
of the trip Imp had the brakeman's
bunk all to himself, and strange
thought it may seem to some the local
arrived safely at Flagstaff.
A message of inquiry on the part of
the local agent established Imp's iden-
tity with the result that when he goes
to the mountain city he is issued an
O. S. A. D. report, that is, over, short
and damage, and care is taken that
he is placed on a return train. Wins

cepted. The guard said he was not
asleep at any time during the night.
Lagrange was last seen when he
left a basement room where a radio
party was in session getting a late
musical program. He was entitled to
outside" privileges and no alarm
came from his disappearance until
two o'clock, when the hunt started.

COLONEL HANNIGAN GETS
OVER : DUE DECORATION

After lapse of % years since he
distinguished himself in battle against
rebellious forces in the Philippine Is
lands Colonel Henry A. Hanigan, in
structor national guard of Arizona,
has been notified of citations for brav-
cry in action.
Colonel Hanigan was notified by Fl.
i. Wathall, adjutant general Of the
United States, that Secretary of War
Weeks had approved the colonel's cita-
tion for gallantry in action against
the Filipino insurgents at Tabuan,
Negros, August 19, 1899, and Octo-
Der /, 1899.
The citations entitle Colonel Han
igan to wear two silver citation stars
on the ribbon of his Philippine cam
paign medal. The quarternaster gen
eral of the war department, Colonel
Hanigan was advised in a letter from
Adujtant General Walthall, has been
directed to forward two silver citation
stars.
The delay in the award of the ci-
tations was due to the fact that there
was no legal provision for decorations
for bravery of other than Civil war
veterans at the close of the Filipino
struggle. Enactment of a provision
providing for citations for bravery in
1918 is being followed by the distri-
button OF awards to various army men
who distinguished themselves in action
there.
Colonel Hanigan was cited for BRAY
cry for his fearlessness in action while
advancing on a position of the enemy
and in capturing a fortified point. In
this advance Of the American soldiers,
Lieutenant Colonel Hayden Y. Grubs
was slain.
In October, 1899, Colonel Hanigan
was responsible for the capture Of.
strongly fortified trenches in the
hands of the enemy.
