Servia draws the sword. Belgium, with her widows and orphans, enters to plead her cause. To her defense comes England, with all hecolonies. Japan casts his lot with England. And now comes the cry of Armenia. Then Italy, Portugal, and Roumania join the Allies. To the assembled nations Poland makes her appeal. Truth warns the nations 6f the strength of the enemy. Liberty and Justice call to America. Amid tumult, haughty Imperial Russia is dethroned, and New Russia ap pears, groping her way toward freedom. Suddenly, a new trumpet is heard, and America enters, saluting her Allies, and pledging her sword to their common cause. Music furnished by Orpheum Orchestra.

Smith PIANO RED CROSS CANTEEN STATION COMPLETED The canteen service station is now complete, except for a few connections which will be made by the first of the week. Instead of the portable hut, which was the most that was expected, tho building committee, through the gen erosity of various firms and persons, has been able to have a substantial hut erected that will withstand the severest of the winter weather, and is attractive in appearance. The station adjoins the Fray Mar cos, directly, on the west. Dimen sions are 20x22, affording ample space for the workers. The house is divided into two rooms. In the front room is a long counter, which may be used either for serving light lunches or as a work table, in front of which there will be revolving stools, as in regular lunch rooms. Behind the counter are numerous shelves, and be neath it many lockers, all to facilitate quick service. There will be a radiator in the front room, to furnish heat dur ing the winter. The steam for the latter will be secured from the Har vey House. In the second room there are a stove for cooking, a large work table, shelves, a medicine cabinet, lockers for the uniforms, hot and cold water and live steam. The water, lights and steam will be furnished by the Santa Fe. Lumber for the cottage was donated by the Arizona Lumber & Timber Co., the rlagstaff Lumber Company, and the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Co. By other donations made, the expense of the building is less than $200. The location of the station is ad mirable from a standpoint of conven ience. It is also attractive. The cream finish matches the Fray Marcos, and plenty of windows give an impression of good cheer. Small trees are grow ing about the building and last, but most important, are the official can teen service signs, one on either side of the door, and, on the roof the words: "American Red Cross Canteen Station." Williams News. If An one Asks You About the Army, Here's the Answer. Someone is eternally asking you an army question you cannot answer, perhaps if you learn the following it may help you to look "wise" and talk with authority.

Turning "Heinle's" own machine guns back on him is the newst and favorite stunt in a certain American outfit. The boys just stumbled into this on.t nml Jin,, llVo if. Recently in raids the boys brought back some (ierman macnine guns, after driving the Germans away from their own strongholds. "Why not use these German guns on the Heinies?" one thinking dough boy asked his pals. "You're crazy; we haven't any am munition that'll fit them." "Why can't we go over and get some?" replied the thinker. "Never thoueht of that," replied the others, "we're on." That night they raided the Qerman trenches and brought back plenty of ammunition and another German ma chine pun. Next day the guns were playing on the "Heinies." They re ciarneu goou luuuuue mins." said one enthusiasticaly, "but the Heinies don't know how to use them. We do, though. We're getting we'll have to run over to Germany and a little low on ammunition. Guess make 'em hand us out some more. o His Opinion of Hell. A certain Navajo came off the res ervation the other day, and while strolhnc around overheard many ex pressions he understood well. He went hark to one of the Indian traders and plied him with questions concerning hell. He says that while Jie was walk ing around town he heard people say ing, "hot as hell," "cold as hell," "hard as hell," "dusty as hell," "light like hell." "Hell must be a funny place," said the Navajo. Gallup Independent. o War Stamp Poetry. "Little Bo-Peep she taught her sheep the famous War Stamp letters. Then told her flocks they must fur nish socks And likewise wool for sweaters. Now sheep don't shirk: they set to work With very real elation And give their fleece to hasten pedce . Their flesh to feed the nation." Only Once. Newcomer "Does a shell that size often hit a man?" NAVY DEPARTMENT TELLS OF FIGHTING NEAR THE CLOUDS Ensign Stephen Potter, United States Naval Reserve Force, killed in action with German planes April 25 last, was the first American naval aviator to shoot down and destroy a German seaplane, according to a Navy Department statement. . Ihe report states that on March 19, 1918, a long-distance reconnaissance of the German coast was made by large American flying boats operating from a British Royal Air Force sta tion. Ensign Potter was one of two American naval aviators accompany ing this expedition, and Potter was successful in shooting down a German seaplane which attacked the recon naisance formation. A second enemy seaplane found safety in running away. Potter's death reflects credit on his courage. He was killed in a fight with seven enemy single-seaters. He was second pilot to a British air force captain, who was with him when he shot down the German plane in March. Two British planes had flown to a point six miles from Hinder Light, when two enemy planes headed toward them. The British planes closed on the nearest German and opened fire. Two more hostile plane3 then appeared overhead and attacked vigorously, while three other enemy planes passed astern. The two British planes dived and speeded westward under con tinuous volleys from the rear. One of the Germans disappeared. Of the seven Germans in action. four were attacking Potter, who fell behind his companion and began to zigzag. Potter dodged, but was broadside to all the enemy machines and under their fire only 50 feet from the water. His companion. 250 feet above, saw Potter's machine burst into flame, came down part of the way under control, then crash on the port wing tip. Potter was seen last on the surface of the water amid flames, which turned suddenly to a huge cloud of smoke. When the pall had cleared not even wreckage was visible and the circling enemy disappeared. o Hay-Foot, Straw-Foot. Mr. Smart "They have taken the wrist watches from the soldiers in the camps." Mrs. Smart "Is that so what for?" Mr. S. Uncle Sam wants the boys to keep time with their feet." o Domestic Economy. "Tommy, isn't it rather an extrava gance to eat both butter and jam on your bread at the same time?" "No, ma'am, it's economy. The same piece of bread does for both." Fighting Esprit de Corps The Huns really believed that America is so obsessed with business activities that they would not fight when the show-down came. Furthermore, that if they .did attempt to send an army, they would lack the spirit and moral so necessary for a successful army. The first contact the Germans had with the Americans was when the Marines, battling like veterans, swept the Huns back to Cantigny and Chateau "Thierry. All along the line, the Marines have upheld their "First to Fight" slogan. A prominent Marine Corps officer recently made the remark-that it was the spirit that is early instilled in the Marines that sends them to certain victory, and the wonderfully intensive-training given the Marines in their camps in America and also in France, before they go to the front line has been remarked upon by the army officials during this war on a number of occasions. Every mode of modern warfare is gone into, and the men are taught through their drills to practice as they are expected to fight. The methods pursued by the Marines, and the results accomplished are attracting thousands of young men into this branch of the service all over the country, and the Los Angeles recruiting office is daily sending men to the training camp at Mare Island. Young men of the draft age are eligible to enlist in the Marine Corps by securing a release from their draft board. Recruiting stations for the Marines are maintained at Los Angeles, Bakersfield, San Dieeo. El Centro and Phoenix. Booklets can be had for the asking. i SOLDIER AND SAILOR FAMILIES PROTECTED Any soldier or sailor who knows or fears that his family is in trouble should appeal at once to Home Serv ice. He should go at once to the Home Service man attached to his di vision her or abroad, or write to his family to take their troubles to the Red Cross Home Service Section in their home town. Men in service know they will be taken care of if they are wounded or sick; they shtuld know also that the Home Service workers of the Red Cross are willing to relieve them of worry concerning their families so far as that is possible. j Relations between Home Service workers and families are as confiden-1 tial aa.those between doctors and their j patients. Home Service means sym pathy, advice, expert information about laws and regulations, medical care, spiritual comfort and everything which can bo given by real friends to compensate the family for the absence of the man in service. Department of Cicivilian Relief, American Reo Cross, Washington, D. C. New X-Ray Machine. The Army Medical Department has developed a mobile X-ray outfit to be carried on the standard army ambu lance to the front-line trench for the benefit of wounded soldiers. It is de sired by army surgeons to lose no time in ascertaining the extent and conditions of wounds. The outfit is made up of the Delce gas-electric set, the high-tension transformer, and the j special type of Coolidge tube. Valuable Maid. . j "You advertised as a chauffeur-1 maid?" "Yes. madam." "What were your duties at your last place?" "I drove and cleaned the car single handed, and as maid, I took down my I lady at night and assembled her in the morning, madam." I o ' A Cautious Customer. Dentist (to patient who is opening his purse) No, don't bother to pay me in advance. Patient I'm not. I was only count ing my money before you gave me gas. o Mule's Intentions Good. A negro was trying to saddle a mule, when a bystander asked: "Docs that mule ever kick you?" "No, suh, but he kicks sometimes whar ise jes been." Spirit of is Early Instilled THE SERVICE FLAG. (Written by' an Unknown Young Wo man for a New Orleans Newspaper.) Little flag in the window there, Hung with a tear and a woman's prayer, Child of Old Glory, born with a star. O, what a wonderful flag you are! Blue is your star in its field of white, Dipped in the red which was born to fight, Born of the blood our forebears shed To rais,e your mother, the flag, o'er- head. And now you have come in this fren zied day To speak from a window, to speak and ay: "I am the voice of a soldier son, Gone to be gone till the victory's won. "I am the flag of service, sir: The flag of his mother I speak for her Who stands by my window and waits and fears, But hides from others her unwept tears." Little flag in the window there, Hung with a tear and a woman's prayer; Child of Old Glory, born with a star, O what a wonderful flag you are! o Little Sayings From Here and There. Gold is tested by fire, and we are tested by gold. Don't jump into the water, till you know how deep it is. If some would be as big as they thing they are, no shoes would fit them. Lord, deliver me from the hand of a German, and from the tongue of an angry woman. When you see a man and his face is scratched, you must not believe that he had a fight; sometimes it is a sign that he is married. A man may show love, a woman mav love and not show it. The reason of divorce is marriage. The best of snakes flattens it's head. Victim of Fortune Tellers. Lady Poor man, so you are just out of jail? Tramp Yes, mum. I was the vic tim of fortune-tellers back in nineteen hundred. Lady Indeed. Tramp Yes, mum. The district at torney told me where I'd been, and what I'd done my whole life, and the judge predicted where I'd be for the next ten years.
