COATLESS POLICEMEN AND
FIREMEN, CITY's PROSPECT
Movement on Foot to Make Mem
bers Of Departments More Com
Portable in Summer.

If a move started by Henry F. Ash
proves successful. firemen and policemen
will be made much more comfortable dur
ing the next two months than ever before
during the heated period. In petition
signed by hundreds of taxpayers, resi-
dents of all parts Of the city, the District
Commissioners are asked to permit the
policemen and firemen to discard their
coats during July and August.
"In our opinion" it is stated in the re-
quest, the members of both departments
are subjected to unnecessary hardships
and torture by being compelled to wear
coats during the summer months, and we
feel that more suitable and comfort
able uniform could be agreed upon and
adopted for wear during the hot weather.
During the recent heated period many
members of the police department com
planned Of intense suffering from heat,
especially those in the shopping districts,
where shade trees are not plentiful.
Members of the fire department are
discussing the advisability Of asking the
Commissioners to change the uniform
regulation and permit them to wear
khaki coats and trousers. The change
will be asked in the interest of economy.

ADJUSTMENTS
Empress

Empress
 An excellent line of vaudeville acts comprises the bill for the week at the Empress, and it has found instant favor with the patrons of this pop ular playhouse. It is seldom that there are four acts sent out by I booking office on the small time" every one of which occupy full stage This state of affairs on the show this week taxed the stage to it's ca pacity and neceSStated a change of policy from the one which has held sway for the past several weeks. It has been the custom to run the nov ing pictures and then the four acts of vaudeville together and close the show with a final reel of pictures. This was impossible owing to the necessary changes of scenery, etc, to accommodate each act, and the result is that there is a reel of pictures, m act and then another reel of pictures However, the lineup is so arranged that the bill is exceptionally well bal anced, and the best result is obtained
 The bill is varied enough to please all lovers of real vaudeville, and each act is showered with well earned ap- plause. Toki Murati, a Japanese foot juggling artist, performs almost un- believable feats and is offering a de- cided novelty which instantly attracts. King Baxter, the educated horse. seems to have been trained with the idea of getting away from the gen eral run of educated brute acts, and it is highly pleasing. Marquis, the musical genius, entertains nicely with a varied program of novelty musical selections, and the closing act, that of Noell and Orville, springs the greatest surprise that has, perhaps, ever visited the city. This act must be seen to be appreciated, for it is something so entirely different from the, rest that justice cannot be done it through printers ink. The bill will attract crowds all the week.

WOMEN OPPOSE
 DEMOCRATS WHY
Congressional Union Re gards Present Party in Power as Obstacle to En- franchisement of Women. Letter Made Public

The Congressional Union for Wo- man Suffrage has sent the following letter to Senator Mark A. Smith, Rep- resentative Hayden and to each of the democratic candidates for congress in the nine states where women now vote:
 An open letter to the democratic candidates for congress whose cleo tion the Congressional Union is op |. posing:
 October 1, 1914. Dear Sir: On behalf of the Con- gressional Union for Woman Suffrage, l am writing to you with regard to our position in the present election contest.
 "The Congressional Union is an or ganization of women in all parts of the country who are working for the passage of an amendment to the United States constitution enfranchis- ing women. In our work for this amendment we have, as you know, been blocked at every turn by the national democratic party.
 While we feel no opposition to you as an individual, and appreciate whatever service you may personally have rendered to the suffrage move ment, it is apparent that your indi- Vidual interest in suffrage can avail us little as long as your party, which is now in control of congress, con- tinues it's unfriendly attitude toward our resolution. We realize that ours is a party government, and that the will of the individual counts for little when in opposition to that of his party. Since the party which you sup port at Washington persistently blocks our amendment, and since, whatever your personal views on the subject may be, you are not able to make them effective owing to the opposi- ton of the majority of your party colleagues, we are forced to regard you as an opponent, together with the other members of the party
 We are appealing, therefore, to the women voters in your constituency to withhold their support from you as the representative of a party which opposes the political freedom oi women.
 "We are absolutely n-partisan and would oppose the representatives of any other party which was in con- trol of the government at Washing ton, and which refused to pass the suffrage amendment. We appeal to the women voters to put loyalty to their enfranchised sisters above party and to show that no national party which is hostile to the suffrage cause can continue to command the wom- ems vote.
 "Very sincerely yours, ALICE PAUL. Chairman"

W hom I feel more or less responsible to my successor Don't you see, it will be a reflection on my judgment | if You don't make good with him? On your part, let there be no lack of good will and intelligent effort in the way you get down into the har ness. On his part he is obligated 10 dc his very best in the difficult job | of driving. Driving, you know. doesn't mean simply hammering the team on the back-it means care full study of every horse and an evening up of his work, with a plac- ing of the heavy horses on the pole and of the more active and lighter ones on the lead.
 T want you to feel proud that you live in Phoenix. It's the best town in the whole Southwest, and it is getting bigger and better all the time. IL has a population that you should ] feel proud of-people who are willing to spend their money and their time in the upbuilding of the community just because they love it. You have your part in this building, even more than the average citizen has, for, let me tell you, the postoffice shows just about what a town really is. Generally, when you find a poor 1 postoffice you find the same sort of town. We are proud of our post | office, of it's home and building and
 Of it's good men and their service and this is only one of the reasons
 why we are proud of our city. 1t is only one of the reasons for our great | big local pride"

There was no warning of this bonn bardment, fact which constitutes violation of Article 26 of the Fourth convention of The Hague, and more than a dozen people were killed, all Of them non-combatants and several of them women and children. The town of Louvain, with it's 42,O00 inhabitantsS was one of the centers of Belgian culture. It had no mercy shown to it and has been nearly Obliterated. Several quarters of the tow nwere set on fire, the church of St. Pierre, a marvellous ex- ample of Gothic art, the buildings of the university including the li- brary with more than 10000 volumes, of which a large number were an- cient manuscripts the collections be- longing to the university, nearly all the scientific institutions and nearly all the houses of the town were de- l liberately burned They are now nothing more than heaps of ashes. Their destruction has been a loss to the whole civilized world.
 ! Numbers of absolutely innocent women and children lost their lives in the fire, which was started by the order of the German military off, c!als. Of those who were saved, several thousand, including women enfeebled by age and children in arms, are today wandering homeless over the roads, without food pr clothing. They are not to blame for anything unless it is because they belong to a nation which has refused to purchase peace at the price of dishonor. That can be the only crime accounted to them, and it is for that they have lost all their pos sessions upon the earth.
 From the declaration made by the imperial German chancellor, it may be seen that the German govern ment is conscious of its wrong do ing. AS one of the guarantors of Belgium's neutrality, it wanted to force Belgium to relinquish it's neu- trality for Germanys benefit Be- cause Belgium would not consent to this perjury, and because Germany could not reproach her with any
 thing else, Germany invaded and covered with blood and ruin a small peaceful country of hard working and honest people, a country which it had promised to protect.
 This attack upon her neutrality is the first violation for which Belgium asks judgment from the universal conscience.
 The entire Belgo German question today is dominated by the fact of this violation of the neutrality of
 Belgium. Thereore, there is not q single shot fired by a German sol- dier in Belgium which is not mani festly and avowedly belying most sa : cred things; the keeping of a solemn pledge, and the right for an honest nation that never wanted war nor showed aggressive disposition, to be allowed to live it's peaceful and neu- tral life.
 Such is the Belgian case. Human itV will judge iti

BANQUET IN
 HONOR 0F ?. MS.
Postoffice Force Speed the Parting and Welcome In coming Officials in Great Get-Together Banquet at Arizona Club

In honor of the outgoing and in- coming postmasters, sixty members of the local postoffice force sat down last night to a sumptuous banquet at the Arizona club, prepared at the request of the postoffice employees and given by them. The banquetlng portion of the program was thorough in every detail. It began with the appetizing cocktail and ended with fragrant Havanas, and during the time of it's consumption the time passed rapidly to the ragtime ebulli r. tions of well toned piano at the hands of c. E. Polhemus.
 The tables were arranged in the regulation T fashion, and at the head sat Toastmaster T. Addison Smith. the eldest man in point of service in the local force. At his right sat Hon. Chalmers B. Wood, the newly appointed and qualified postmaster, while at his left sat Colonel J. H. for twelve years the presiding genius at the helm of mail service in the Salt River valley.
 | Next to Mir. Wood sat Postoffice 1 Inspector Dutton of this district, and next to Colonel McClintock sat Mrs | c. B. Wood, the only lady present. | The spirit of cooperation and fel- lowship prevailed during the entire time. Clerks and carriers were called | upon to speak without fear or favor and each acquitted himself well. All spoke of an abiding regard for Colonel McClintock, who was re- | peatedly cheered, and each speaker referred with pleasure to the futurt of the office under MT. Wood.
 Colonel McClintock made the prin- cipal speech of the evening. IT. referred to his years of service ans what they had brought him, and ii spite of the fact that he said he fel

was ready to invade BelgiuNn. France can afford to wait. We can not. A French attack on our flank in the region. of the lower Rhine might have been fatal. It is for that reason that we have been compelled to ignore the just protests of the government of Luxembourg and Bel gium. The injustice which We thus commit we will repair as soon as our military object has been attained" It has been shown above how much value can be attached to the asser- tion of the alleged intention of France to invade Belgium That in tention, and the realization of that i intention belong exclusively to Ger many, and they must be left in her possession. This is especially the case in view of the fact that the military dispositions undertaken by 1 France absolutely refute the allega- ! tion of the German chancellor So i true is this that when the violation of Belgian territory became an ac- complished fact, and when the king of Belgium appealed, under the terms | of the treaty of 1889 for support in maintaining the neutrality of Bel gium which these powers had guar anteed, France was so little prepared to invade Belgium that it took her more than ten days to get her troops into the country
 The world is familiar with the way Germany has repaired in Belgium the injustice of which she was guilty, to use the words of the German chancellor.
 | Under the preteXt that her troops were attacked by civilians, and even under no pretext at all whole vil- lages have been raZed to the ground. Important towns, whose boast it was to represent part of the common in Eeritance of civilization, were not spared. Their monuments, which have been respected in all the cen . turies, in all the constant wars of which Belgium has been the theater, were deliberately destroyed. Open cities were bombarded. Exorbitant taxation was imposed upon conquered towns. and when the inhabitants were unable to pay the taxes, large number of their houses were set on fire That is what happened to Wavre, among other cities. whose $500 inhabitants were unable to pay a. tax of $60O,00O. Termonde, with 10000 inhabitants, was utterly de- stroyed. On the 18th of September there only remained in that town 252 houses out of 1,4OO. The town of Aerschot, with 5000 inhabitants, is now nothing more than a mass of ruins, and more than 150 of the in- habitants have been shot. Dirigible balloons have thrown bombs at night into Antwerp. It cannot be main- tained by those who were in the bal looms that they were trying to hit the forts, as the forts are outside the boundaries of the town, and a good distance outside them as well. Nor could the bombs thrown have had any effect upon the forts. which are even stronger than those of Liege
