REV. JAMES SPEAKS
ON MASTERS CALL

Treating the subject of 1.-THE Mas
ter's Call" Rev. H. S. James in his
second of the series of revival serm-
ons at the United Brethren church last
night told the story of Mary and Mar
tina and admonished his hearers to
benefit by the experience of these
Biblical characters.
"Of the many essentials in the life
of a Christian, faith, courage and good
and wholesome deeds should be con-
sidered among the cardinal virtues"
asserted Rev. Mr.. James. Faith alone
does not make the Christian, courage
alone does not make the Christian.
The same is true of good works. The
three combined are essential"

Thrift
Become Financially Independent

The United States, the
largest country in popu-
lation of the five coun-
tries shown in the scale
of-savings per : head to
right, is very much the
lowest in actual savings
per head of population.
Little Switzerland, fourth
in population, is highest
in savings. Diminutive
Denmark, smaller in pop
ulation, has 700 co more
savings per head of pop
ulation than the relative
ly gigantic United States
This should not be so. Our
country in material resources
is richer than England,
France, Switzerland and Den
mark put together. Our
wages, salaries and profits
are far above. those earned in
those four countries. Yet our
savings are woefully lower
the lowest.
Why?
Because Americans as a
rule have failed to develop
the savings habit. Life has
been with us too much case
OF come easy, go easy" Con-
sequently lots of money and
wealth that would have
stayed in this country if we
had been thriftier went
abroad to, the thrifty Euro
peans as interest on sums
advanced to finance our in
dustrial growth.

GET RECRUITS
 FROM HONG KONG
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Jan. 21.-The British army today received a small but pie turesue addition to it's strength in d group of thirty recruits from Hong Kong Five times since the war began these men had petitioned the governor of Hong Kong to be released from the constabulary service in which they were engaged in order that they might go to England and enlist but each time their request was refused. Finally, however, they received permission to leave China and sailed for England.
 Their appearance on the streets of London was greeted with the greatest interest and curiosity. Under their khaki overcoats which were thrown wide open, most 'of the men wore the blue uniforms with white piping of the Hong Kong constabulary. Their helmets were the winter service pat tern of thick pith, with a steel spike on top and a steel band running round the side.

The statement that Phoenix is in flooded zone has ceased to be fact The Salt River has practically decided to give up the ghost and go down like good little river should. No watch was kept on the Central avenue bridge last night; it was decided that things there were all in ship shape.
 Reclamation officials are still mak ing trips around the project in an effort to ascertain the extent of damage. A report will be made to the office in Denver, before permission can be ob tained to repair things.
 Project Manager Cone started for Roosevelt yesterday. He planned to go to Fish Creek by auto, and there switch to the back of a horse.
 It was reported from Globe last even ing that damage had been done to the outlet gates of the dam. There was a rumor current there that there had been rockslide, completely block ing the closing of the gates. Whether this is so or not, reclamation officials refused to state.

gained fluent knowledge of Arabic and an intimack with Mohammedan life and customs known to few whites Like Burton, he made pilgrimmages in native guiSe both to Medina and Mecca. It was at Medina that his identity was suspected and he was made to take an oath that he was Musselman and to undergo a searching examination on the Koran by Mohammedan doctors, from which he emerged successfully.
 At this time, it is declared, Neufeld did a service to his country that brought it's reward in this war. He spread the belief among the ignorant Mohammedan populace that there were many Mohammedans in Germany. In fact the current belief in Islam that the kaiser is the grand caliph of the i European Mohammedans and went to i war to free them from Christian op- pression is attributed to Neufeld's busy propaganda.
 There is' story that Neufeld re- gently went to Germany not only as the bearer of valuable political and military information for the German i, government but also of bottle of
 
 Zem Zem well at Mecca, given him by the faithful as cure for General von Hindenburg's gout. According to the traveller Burton, Zem- Zem water is bit ter to the taste and causes diarrhoea and boils, but the faithful say that it
 not only restores health but brightens
 the vision, physically and spiritually
 and facilitates the pronunciation of i Arabic

 papers, and for that reason they are
 accepted as true by the British press. 1 which accuses Neufeld of ingratitude
 toward his rescuers. ! Omdurman, where Neufeld suffered, ! has, say the British, been brought un- der justice and order by British rule, and it is this benefit to the natives in particular and civilization in general

LONDON, Jan. 21.-No minor incl dent of the war has so stirred up the British press recently as the report from German sources that Karl Neu- field, the German trader and traveller well known in the Near East, has been trying to influence the Mohammedan tribes in Persia and Arabia against the allies.
 Neufeld was rescued from prison by Lord Kitchener and the British troops at Omdurman in September, 1898. For ten years he had lain in a Mahdist jail, subjected to horrible tortures, accord ing to his own account.
 In his book describing his adven- lures, Neufeld tells how, on being thrown into prison, three sets of iron shackles were attached to his feet and rings and chains fastened about his neck He was often flogged, and on one occasion he received 800 lashes From these horrors he was saved by the British, and returned to freedom During his imprisonment.

BY TELEPHONE U.
 AT MIDNIGHT

At midnight the Mountain States and Telegraph company gave up all hope of getting into communication with outside points. They handed out the following statement:
 At late hour last night all hope was given up of restoring service on the Mountain States and Western Union wires at the Sacaton river cross ing which was washed out Thursday morning.
 Service was temporarily restored OH this route for a short time late yester- day but the Arizona and Eastern rail- road bridge which was already badly damaged could not stand the constant rush of the Gila river which is the worst it has been in the history of the telephone company's experience. About ten o'clock last night the bridge gave way in the span just south of where it had already been washed out and again took out all wires that cross the river at this point. Early today District Wire Chief E. J. Anderson of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph company and a large force of men were at the scene of the wash out but found themselves almost help less when attempt was made to re- store the service.
 Logs, huge trees anG many other kinds of debris were constantly com ing down the river and it was con- sidered unsafe for men to even try to cross the river in boats or in any oth- CT way by which they would come in contact with the current of the river. All preparations have been made for an early start tomorrow morning and it is believed that wire service will be restored at this point tomorrow as the river is expected to fall considerably by that time
 The telephone company has lost several river crossings during this flood the last one at five o'clock tonight which cut Globe Hayden and Flor ence off from the outside world. Large !, forces of men are working at these diff ferent points and it is hoped that all ! telephone service will be restored with in short time. No time is being lost to set poles or string wire. all wires are replaced by insulated wire which is practically waterproof and is being strung on the ground for the time be- l ing
 Reports from Fl Paso and Los An geles say that they are waiting on the
