Complete Cessation of All
Activities Is Now Being
Prepared For.
Clifton, Ariz., Oct. 3. Preparations
for a complete shutdown of the mines

Arizona Copper company, the Shannon
Copper company and the Detroit Cop
per company, according to an an
nouncement of the companies. It will
nvolre the men employed in the ra
rious deaprtments ho hate been on
salaries.
The strike, which was expected to
end October 1, is Mill in progress. The
strikers claim that the reason for
continuing the strike was the fact
that all men on strike were not prom
ised employment when work was re
rumtd. On September 22 the compa
nies announced their readiness to ac-
vt the terms agreed to between the
federal mediators and the operators.
Tiie strikers were expected to resume
w ork October 1 and had notified the
operators, through the grievance com
mittees of this intention. However,
:t was decided to continue the strike,
pickets were put out and efforts made
to present the men from returning to
thf mines.
Many of the craftsmen and other
American employes reported for work
at the concentrators and smelters, but,
because of the inability of the com
panies to operate the mines, the plants
could not be operated. Mexicans and
Spaniards appear to be in control of
the situation, with the Italian element
remaining neutral. Indications now
notnt to an indefinite shutdown.

DPENSBATTLE
Says Government Has No
Case Against Indicted
I. W. W. Leaders.
Chicago, I1L, Oct. 3. Whether an
organization can go on strike during
war time and whether members of
organizations can stay on a strike
when that strike was initiated be
fore the war started, are the two
paramount issues between the United
States government and the 166 in
dicted members of the I. W. W., ac
cording to Otto Christensen. attorney
for the organization. He is in Chi
cago investigating charges against
the I. W. W. and preparing for the
legal battle which will open soon.
Sweeping denial of each of the
charges named in the indictment was
made by Christensen.
May Charge Will Fall.
"The government charges cannot
stand up." he declared. "The L W. W.
at no time has taken a positive po
sition in regard to the war. Some of
the strikes we are charged with
starting to embarrass the govern
ment' were started before the war be
gan. As to our alleged attempt to
fight conscription, I refer federal
agents to the large number of I. W.
W. members who are now in the vari
ous cantonments.
"The charge that German money
has been backing the organization is
ridiculous.
Mr. Christensen admitted strenuous
efforts are being made to obtain
bonds for some of the leaders. He
declared it would be impossible to se
cure a total of $1,625,000 which would
secure release of all under indict
ment, but intimated some of the
members now in Jail would be re
leased on bail.

REVENGE UPON GERMANY
FOR RAIDS ON LONDON IS

LONDON. Eng.. Oct. S. A crowd of
poor people In the southwest dis
trict of London yesterday ap
pealed to premier Lloyd George, says
the Daily Mail, for reprisals against
Germany for the air raids on London.
The premier shouted to the crowd:
"We will give it all back to them
and we will give It to them soon. We
shall bomb Germany with compound
Interest."
The crowd cheered the promise
wildly. The premier had just com
pleted a tour of the area damaged hi
the raids.
Government to Act,
The Evening standard states "on the
highest authority" that the govern
ment is paying special attention to
the question of reprisals for German
air attacks on London and other
places. It says:
"There is no qualification about the
decision of the government to under
take very effective reprisals at the
earliest moment consistent with the
advice of the hish military command."

GREEGEISAJQKE
Greece Gets No Money,
Pays Big Interest and
Loses 8,000,000.
Athens, Greece. Oct. 3. The Ger
man advance of 320.004,004 to the re.
cent government of king Constantine
was a financial transaction quite oat
of the ordinary, as now developed
under the fierce scrutiny of the Ven
izelos government which displaced
the Constantine regime.
As summed up hy It. Venizelos
himself, the peculiar features were:
While a huge sum was involved, yet
no real money passed from Berlin to
Athens, as It was all a credit tran
saction to be settled "after the war."
Also, although no money passed.
Greece finds herself obligated for
this J2fl,eO0,0C, and is paying inter,
est on it at 6 per cent. Finally, as
stated by Teniaelos. Tire OevrecW

realised, making a net loss of 8,0O,
000. Was Secret Transaction.
The German advance was made
about a year ago, at the time the
Constantine ministry needed funds to
pay the army vhich had been mo
bollzed. For some reason, however, it
was decided to make it a secret tran
saction, and not Inscribe it in the
budget or report it to parliament
along with other loans. This was
about the time the entente allies pre.
sented an ultimatum demanding the
demobilisation of the Greek army,
which probably accounts for the loan
being kept secret.
Was Merely a Credit.
In laying before parliament details
of the affair. X. Venizelos said that
Germany had in effect said: "In these
critical times, we cannot advance
actual money. But you can order
your government bank to print JJO,
00.000 of bank notes, and we will
order our bank to open a credit for
320,000,000. payable not today but at
the end of the war."
This was actually carried oat. Mr.
Venizelos explained, the printing pres.
ses of Athens turning out the $20,
000,000 in bills, based on the Berlin
deposit, but without any transfer of
money. The interest began to run at
oice.

Trembling Victims of Shell Shock
Often Deaf, Dumb and Blind, Are
Studied By U. S. Medical Officers
A
MEKICAN Training Camp in
France, Oct. 3. American med
ical officers will devote the
coming winter to a special study of
the diseases peculiar to the war and
war conditions, in addition to their
work at the forward casualty clearing
stations on the French and British
fronts.
At the casualty stations they will
get all the experience they desire in
the marvelous war surgery which has
made Buch rapid strides in the past
three years.
They will be trained in all the med
ical phases of their work in the field
at special schools. The first of these
schools will be established this month
at the hospital taken over by the
Johns Hopkins hospital until soon af
ter the first contingent of American
troops landed in France.
Will -Study Shell Shock.
One subject to which much atten
tion will be devoted will be that of
"shell shock," which has proved very
troublesome to both the British and
French medical officers. Neurologists
attached to the various American
units will study the problem at
French and British hospitals and af
terwards will give lectures to their
fellow medical officers, both in the
hospitals and attached to the troops
in training.
Victim Are Pitiful.
There is no more pitiful object in
the world than a man actuall suffer,

been used frequently as a care for
shell shock. It stops the trembling

remarkable thing about shell shock
cases is that none occur during a bat

battle the men are buoyed up by the
great excitement, are pressing for

hand fighting, while all about them is
the continual roar of battle. They
often become absolutely oblivious of
exploding shells under these circum
stances until actually hit.

Shell shock comes when the men
are compelled to sit in trenches for
long periods or when they are out on
nerve testing patrol duty between the
fighting lines at night and a big mis.
sile bursts unexpectedly over them.
Much Like Temporary Insnnlly.
The treatment of shell cases is often
closely akin to that for temporary in
