Tonight s game will be the second
Southern Conference game in which
the Tribe has clashed, the other
being with Douglas in which the
Bulldogs emerged victors to the tune
of 14-0. The game was hard-fought
all the way through and the Apaches
handed out more opposition than
was expected.
Bisbee and Douglas have not met
so far this year. Their first meeting
is scheduled for Armistice Day. Bis

getting off the train was the late
John T. Brickwood, ST..
my first trip to this town was
over the old Arizona & Mexico rail-
road from Benson. There was no
road in those days from Tucson to
Nogales."
On that initial trip the young
man didn't linger here long. He
stayed just two or three hours, for
he was in a hurry to get to Poza,
Sonora, to take a job as railroad
station agent. He had been offered
10 month but when he got to
Poza. much to his surprise and dis
appointment, learned the position
paid 70 pesos-just $35 a month in
American money.
Mr.. Bowman remained with the
railroad 18 years and became sta
ton agent at every point on the
line between here and Guaymas ex-
cept Santa Ana. In 1904 he came
to Nogales as station agent and it
was in that year he cast his first
ballot.
Otto H. Herold, now president of
the First National Bank, was bill
clerk for the railroad here in those
days Herold quit the railroad that
year and went to work for the bank
and has been with the bank all of
those years.
Bowman ended his railroad career
on Nov. 30, 1912, after having again
been stationed in Mexico and again
stationed at Nogales for three years
beginning in 1909. when he resigned
to devote all his time to the business
of buying and selling cattle-a bust
ness in which he had been engaged
to some extent while still with the
railroad That began his rapid rise
to man of influence in the busi-
ness world.
War Time Mayor
Politics attracted him and in 1918
he was elected alderman, then
mayor of NogaleS, serving during
the year the a1mistice was signed
Nov. IL, 1918, ending the war with
Germany The political bee stung
him harder than ever. resulting in
a term in the state legislature in
1919 and 1920. and in 1924 he was
a delegate to that memorable Dem
ocratic National Convention in New
York where 103 ballots were taken
before John w. Davis was nominal
ed for the presidency.
Following his return from the
1924 convention Bowman was made
vice-chairman of the State Demo
cratic Committee and spent several
months in Phoenix while in charge
of the Democratic campaign that
year in Arizona.
From January 1926 to 1884 he
lived in San Diego and Palm City,
Calf. but maintained his residence
here and always voted in Nogales
from the time he cast his first
ballot.

He was Democratic National Com

Premier Stain himself has re-
peatedly said that this is the kind of
Poland he wants, too, but in many
quarters - rightly or wrongly - his
Endorsement of the Polish National
Committee Is regarded as move
toward setting up a puppet power
in Warsaw. In his recent address,
Mn Churchill said he had good
hopes that this was not so and that
I'VE shall not witness the unhappy

Poland, one recognized by the Soviet

be assumed that one of the big
reasons why he is in Moscow now Is
to do all that he can to avoid such

that Premier Mikolajczyk has just
been invited to take part in the con-

tAuchen

The Nazi commander in encircled
Aachen has apparently rejected the
American ultimatum to surrender
Internationally or suffer the conse-
quence of exposing the city to COM
plete destruction. It now remains
for our bombers and heavy, artillery
to demonstrate to Germany what it
must pay if it persists in carrying
out Hitler's desperate and baSically
futile design to convert the Reich
as a whole into vast Stalingrad.
Aachen thus becomes a kind of
two-way symbol It's position is
hopeless, but by selling it as dearly
as possible, the Nazi high command
expects not merely to delay our
progress toward Cologne but also
and perhaps more importantly-to
set an example of doors re-
sistance that will inspire the Ger
mans to fight with similar resolve
against overwhelming odds every
where throughout their land. On
the other hand, our plan to batter
1t to pieces unless it's small garrison
gives up is meant to impress upon
the people of the Reich the folly of
immolating themselves and their
communities for no better reason
than to give Hitler a few more weeks
or months of power before he and
his system are at last beaten into
the dust.
1t may be that despite the decision
of their commander the Nazi troops
in Aachen will quickly collapse
under the immense firepower being
brought to bear against them. But
whether they do this or whether
they fight on as other German gar
risons have fought in the French
ports, there can be no doubt that
the city will eventually be ours.
Sooner or later, if they are not
aware of it already, the people of
Germany are going to realize that
obedience to Hitler and the Nazi
hierarchy will win them nothing in
the end but utter ruin and desola-
ton. The situation at Aachen spec
tacularly points up that fact.

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

The American and British govern
ments are considerably disturbed over
Southwestern France, where an already
dangerous situation Is rapidly growing
worse.
A strict censorship has been estab-
ltshed by the French government. which
takes the attitude that since internal
affairs are matter which concerns it
alone, 1t Is the sole judge of what should
be given publicity.
But, according to available reports, it
IS not difficult to see in the present
disturbances serious danger to Allied
military operations, and pressure UNI
doubtedly Is being applied on Gen.
Charles de Gaulle to take adequate
measures to cope with situation which,
unless handled vigorously and quickly,
might have wide repercussions.
The Communist leaders in that area
close to the Spanish border have taken
the law into their own hands and SO
far have Haunted the authority of the
central provisional government in Paris.
They are supported by the local
Maquis and FIJI who are obeying the
leader, certain Monsieur Ravenel.
These underground forces are assisted
by large number of former members
OF the Spanish Republican army Their
strength Is not known here, but is be-
lieyed to total several thousand.
After the collapse of the Spanish
Republican government In 1898, many
members of its forces found refuge on
French territory across the Pyrenees.
At first they were kept in an internment
camp, but later were allowed to settle
in various places in Southwestern
France. During the Vichy regime these
men were threatened with persecution
by the Nazi-supported Petain govern
ment and those able to carry arms dis
appeared into the Maquis, where they
collaborated with the French under
ground
The Germans have been kicked out
OF France and the nation once more
has become free. The Spanish guer-
rillas. who enjoy the full sympathy of
their French colleagues, are now at
tempting to settle old scores with Gen.
Frances government. AS soon as Ra-
venel became head of the area, they
began attacking Frances consulates and
replacing the Spanish flag by the Re-
publican colors. More recently. there
have been skirmishes with Frances
frontier guards
For the time being these are minor
affairs OF no greater moment than the

Mr.. HulI's Reply

Commenting on published reports
that Governor Dewey, if elected to
the presidency next month, would
seek to retain him as an adviser
on foreign policy, Secretary of State
Hull has said that his support and
loyalty belong primarily to the Gov
eminent and It's present official
head, President Roosevelt" And
then, seemingly for purposes of
emphasis, he added this: I'm order
that no American citizen may be
misled, this will continue to be my
attitude"
That language does not quite
amount to a refusal by Secretary
Hull to serve in any capacity under
Mr.. Dewey in event OF Republican
victory at the polls. But it plainly
suggests that he looks upon the re-
ports as being inspired by narrow
political considerations, and it would
be exceedingly unfortunate if this
attitude should operate to preclude
a bipartisan treatment of foreign
policy questions, regardless of which
party is in power for the next four
years. 1t is worth pointing out in
this connection that Secretary Slim
son and the late Secretary Knox
were severely criticized by some
Republicans when they accepted
places in Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet. It
was said that they had forsaken
their own party and had been taken
in"t by the Democratic President.
But this was petty appraisal. The
truth was that they were placing
their country ahead of party, and
it is to be hoped that the precedent
which they set will not become in
validated in this election year.
The reports to which MIR. Hull
took exception grew out of two
statements by Governor Dewey. In
his address last Saturday night he
said that it was his intention to see
to it that the great task of building
a lasting peace remains a non
partisan effort with the help of the
ablest Americans Of both parties in
command" In similar vein he sent
a message to the Foreign Policy
Association declaring that the obi
partisan approach will continue, for
I am confident that President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull can be
counted on to extend to Republican
administration the same co-opera-
ton that the Republican party is
offering them today"
1t is understandable that Mr.. Hull,
reading these statements and the
interpretative stories stemming
from them, should feel that recep-
tive attitude on his part might be
politically advantageous to Mr..
Dewey. But, assuming the best of
faith, this is something that cannot
be avoided, and it seems perfectly
evident that the Democrats, if they
should lose this election, can best
serve the interests of the whole
country by following the example
which has been set by such eminent
Republicans as Mr.. Knox and Mr..
StimSon.
