The First Arizona regiment, S25 strong, reached Yuma early today from Naco, Col Harry Donkersley of Yuma in command, and in conse- quence this was a gala day here; doubly so because of the simultane- ous arrival of Governor Tom Camp bell, who accompanied the regiment from the southern part of the state and fraternized with the troops en- route.
 Yuma turned out en masse to vel come the states husky soldier boys, over 100 of whom are Yuma sons and this section is justly proud of them. The regiment formed at 1 o'clock on South Main street for review and parade and Main street from the freight depot to the river was lined on both sides, until standing room was scarce.

Colonel Donkersley at the head on his famous black charger and enthusiasm ran wild as the columns passed be- fore Governor Campbell, and the reg mental band of 26 pieces and 26 buglers rendered patriotic airs. One hundred and fifty Yuma High School boys and girls led the troops and were roundly applauded, second on ly to the rousing cheers that greeted the Yuma boys led by Cap tain Hall.
 The cavalry detachment, which brought up the rear, was the target for many compliments.
 Governor Campbell and Mayor Michelsen held a reception following the regimental review and at o'clock the Arizona soldier boys left for Lin, da Vista near San Diego, to which point they have been ordered.

The Way to Peace.

"Any body OF free men that
compounds with the present Ger
man Government is compounding
for it's own destruction.
Any man in America or anywhere
else that supposes that the free III
dustry and enterprise of the world
can continue if the Pan-German
plan is achieved and German pow
er fastened upon the world is as
fatuous as the dreamers in Russia.
What I am opposed to is not the
feeling of the pacifists but their
stupidity.
eff we are true friends of free

we will see that the power of this
country and the productivity Of
this country are raised to their alb

lutely nobody is allowed to stand

Expenditures Below Estimates

A feeling of relief was cXpcr-
fenced throughout the country at
the statement of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo in Baltimore
before the Investment Bankers
Association on November II, that
the actual expenditures of some of
the departments of the Govern
ment were much less than the es-
Inmates the departments submitted
in July last, and that the task of
providing for the expenses of the
Government for the fiscal year is
not regarded by the Treasury De-
partment as one which will strain
the capacity Of the resources of the
United States in any way.
The Secretary said in part:
''Vaguc and unfounded apprc-
tensions seem to exist in the public
mind as to the extent Of the finan-
cial requirements of the United
States during the current fiscal
year. 1t may be helpful to the
country to know that these rr-
quiremcnts have been greatly cX-
aggerated. and that in the judg"
ment of the Secretary OF the
Treasury there is no reason what
ever for apprehension on this
score. This opinion is based upon
the latest estimates of our tinan-
cial needs.
"The splendid success Of the
Second Liberty Loan shows that
the people are fully determined to
support the war and are prepared
to make such sacrifices of luxuries.

fences as may be necessary

his optimistic statement was based
upon actual figures in hand.

Owing to the fact that many

boarded the Milwaukee train for
Fargo to enlist in the service of
Uncle Sam: Isadore Englehart,
Frank Jansen. VIM. Frank, Gil
bert Karst, Roy Bergin. Clarence
Norris, Clarence Wolfe and Max
Cameron. The boys were in Far
go week ago to talk things over

then came home to settle their af-
fairs before going up again to en-
list. Most Of the boys expected to
join the Ambulance Corps. and
expected to leave Monday for JEFF
ferson Barracks, Mo-,
Joe Weimer and Frank karst were
also of the mind to enlist. but Joe
is a member Of Battery L of Fer
gus Falls and has not yet been
able to get his discharge. and
Frank failed to pass the physical
examination on account of his eye
sight. Arthur Hodel expects 10
leave some time this week for
Houstn, Texas. Max Cameron en-
listed in the Ambulance Corps and
laft Monday morning for Jeffer-
son Barracks. Mo. Clarence Nor
ris and Clarence Wolfe are plan
ming on leaving Friday.
Wahpeton should be proud Of
the number of boys who are leav-
ing to fight for Uncle Sam, and we
should remember that letter is
about the most welcome thing
there is to soldier, whether he is
in the training camps or some
where in France. and even if not
intimately acquainted with the
boys they are always glad to hear
from "home.

Mimi, at an early age, where he
grew to manhood. He moved 10
this county and took a homestead
in what is now Dwight township,

since. Here he was married to
Martina Habberstad who was ii
faithful helpmeet until her death

grafton will be delivered by the

started this week. is for a series of
state conventions. The first con-
vention will be held in the New

New Jersey on Nov. 26. and others
