due to disease of sixty.six and two

losses from disease were enormous
notwithstanding the improvements in
military hygiene then in force.
The Japanese, however, during ths

GOV. ASKS AID FOR STRICKEN
 MINERS.

The following proclamation ap- pealing to the people of Arizona for generous co operation in re- lief of suffering families in the Clifton Morenci mining district has been issued by Gov. Hunt:
 ''This is the season of harv- eSts, that especial time Of the year when toll is taken of na- lures bounteouS fruits; when industries are measured in terms of their products; when labor takes accounting of that which it produces; and when pros per ity is carefully gauged in it's re- latiOn to human endeavor. It is well if at this period of the year when the day of thanksgiving approaches that they who have plenty may freely celebrate their good fortune with the comfort ing assurance that the grim spector of woeful want is not abroad anywhere in the land. For the observance of feast days when the hungry go unfed, the houselesS go unsheltered and the sOrrOwing go uncontrolled must savor sharply of sacrilege and ever be tinctured with sad ness.
 In the Clifton Morenci min ing district of Greenlee county, Arizona, there exists a condition whereby nearly 5000 working men are deprived of employ ment, and where, consequently, hundreds of families, with their slender savings exhausted, are entering upon the rigorous win ter season without any depend able supply of the necessities of life. Words cannot express or pictures portray the extreme it's cruel visage to the worthy people of this stricken district.
 Pursuant, therefore, to the plain dictates of humanity, l, George w. P. Hunt, governor of Arizona, do herein proclaim the serious need of food, fuel and clothing in the Clifton Morenci district; and do earnestly appeal to the generous people of this state for such contributions of money and supplies as will al leviate suffering and afford means of simple sustenance for pennileSs families in, this time of industrial trouble. All civic and benevolent organizations are eS- pecially urged to organize and conduct movements for h e gathering and shipment of sup plies to the Workmen's Relief Committee, care of the sheriff of Greenlee county, Clifton, Ariz., to the end that, through minis trationS unto those who are af- ficted, the spirit of mercy and brotherly love may be exempli- fled in our citizenship.

 Governor of Arizona.
