STOP THE WAR
Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. ,, 1915

 Sir:-Is it not possible for your paper to start national campaign for the prohibition of exportation of munitions of war to any and all of the nations at war?
 It. seems to mo that the people of this glorious U. $. A. and especially those of us who arc fortunate enough to be living in this beautiful valley lshould be so thankful and with hearts so full of joy at this time, that We as a whole nation, should ipctition our congressman and sena- tors to pass such a stringent law, as description, to any and all beliger- lent nations. If we can stop the supply of arms and ammunition and also the food supply Those na- tions now at war, will come to some 'prompt settlement and cease this unSodly slaughter of innocent and misguided mortals. It will also stop those nations who are neutrals now from engaging in the war. Let us be neutral in all the word means and not supply the allies with every thing they need and refuse Ger many.
 Think, great God. think. The Bri- tish, French and Russian govern ments have ordered in the United States now for immediate shipment to their respective countries for use in this present war:
 Twenty million pounds of powder Five hundred millions of car tridges, part of which have already been shipped.
 One million rifles.
 One thousand five hundred ma ilchinc guns.
 Nine hundred 6-inch howitzerS>> Ten carloads of war aeroplanes. l Two hundred armored machine ,gun motor cars
 Eight million of the bullets already shipped were those murderous dunn dums made for England for sport ing) purposes, by the Union Metallic Cartridge Co
 The above list is only partially complete
 With Belgium starving and count less thousands more of French, Rus sian and English not to mention the Japanese. Eensalese, Turcos and what not other race that is fighting for England
 Let the United States stop the war. Of course such q course would 
 great gun and powder companies But we, the common people. will have to pay and pay dearly in charity work for these poor people who will be slaughtered by the mil lions of bullets these companies are supplying the allies. None of the Iallies can at this date, properly care for the thousands of widows and orphans made in the past five months. What will happen, if they fare allowed to make millions more
 Their appeal for help to the United States must be answered with mil lions and millions of dollars in food and drugs and all necessities oi life
 iHt tuIte UT IouT hundred million dollars the allies are willing tc spend for guns and powder will be off set by twice that amount il Icharity, drugs. food. etc, that the people must give free, to those peo- pl', not to mention the flood of po- verty stricken immigrants that vii flock to this country and work fol any old wage, thereby cutting dowr American labor. So let your paper in the name of Our Saviour in tho name of humanity, publish print ed petition to be signed by all youl readers and mailed to our congress man for our congressman to formu- late some law that will prohibit al supplies for all the nations now al war. Let's be Christians in act a. well as in name. Let's stop tn, ghastly struggles.
 Truly yours.
