last few weeks there energies ever more
and more markedly GeIrhany's gigantic
suffering in the domain of food sup
plies. With every day the undeniable
fact becomes more clear that Germanys
civil population is delivered up to slow
death by starvation unless in the very
next few weeks or months the German
government contracts a peace at any
price which will undo all its emperial-
istic aspirations.
But the German civil and military
authorities will have nothing to do with
such a peace, at least so long as the
soldiers in the field have something to
eat. AS they are quite clear that the
military resources of the central pow
ers are not great enough to bring their
adversaries down in any practicable
period OF time, they are now stalking
everything on the one card of ruthless
submarine warfare.
Either the great coup is achieved with
the socalled U-boat blockade, in which
event the game is won, or the world re
volts against it, or the game goes
wrong, in which event all is lost, and
upon the rulers of Germany Gescencs
the Twilight of the Gods.

GLOBE REGION
It's HISTORY

The earliest record of Globe district
and Globe Ledge mining claims by B.
W. Reagan, Anderson brothers, Charlie
Mason, belong and COPELAND, who,
with the exception of the Andersons,
were also locators of the Silver King
mine the same year. Their locations
here appear to have received little at
tention for several years, and no de-
Velopment work of consequence was
done on the Globe and Globe Ledge
claims until 1876, when Reagan, hay
ing acquired the interests of his part
ners in the claims, employed Bud
Woodson and Phil Phelps to run a 100-
foot tunnel upon which to base appli-
cation for United States patent The
contract was completed in the spring
of 1877
The Globe district was organized in
1875 by Bill Hope Doc Hammond, Jim
Winters, DR.. Brown, Bob Metcalf, AL
Whitlock, George Scott. Black Jack
Harvey and others.
Silver Mining
The first silver mines of consequence
were the Ramboz, Rescue and Blue
Bird, all of which produced rich ore
from shallow workings Blue Bird ore
at 100 feet in depth ran 60 per cent
lead and 1881 in silver; Ramboz sec
ond class ore. s405 in silver and 80 per
cent lead. The Rescue ore was still
richer, running up to thousands of
dollars per ton. and the mine was an
important producer for years
The McMillen and Richmond Basin
mines were discovered in 1875. The
StonewaH Jackson mine at McMillen
proved to be phenomenally rich. 1t
was sold by the locators, Charles Nc
Millen and Theodore Harris for $780,
600 to Santa Rosa. Cal, parties. Some
Of the ore was almost pure silver and
was cut from the vein with chisels.
This was boxed and shipped to San
Francisco, where it attracted much at
tention, and was sold as specimens.
During the three years the company
operated the Stonewall Jackson the
mine produced silver to the value of

so delayed some of them that they did
not reach New York for nearly year
after they had started and this was the
critical year of 1867.
1t is not generally realized that more
Germans fought against us in the Rev.
olution than Frenchmen fought for us.
Some twenty nine thousand mereen-
aries came from Germany and about
half of them never returned. 1t was

WE MUST FINISH THE WORK

With the first installment of the
Liberty Loan completed immensely
gratifying as is the result, we must
remember that the financing of a
great war is never complete until the
war is finished; and we are going to
finish this war to our satisfaction in
order that America may not be
finished. We must stay on the job
and do it in true American fashion
We have proved ourselves on the first
test; we must be prepared for the
second, the third and the fourth if
need be.
"This war must be fought to a
finish. 1t must be fought, because
there is an irrepressible conflict be-
tween two irreconcilable principles
that can never be settled until it is
fought to a finish. The world can
no longer survive half democratic
aud half autocratic One or the
other must triumph We are con-
fronted today with an analogous sit
uation to that which confronted this
Nation in 1861, when the immortal
lincoln said This Nation can no
longer endure half slave and half
free. We had to fight that irrecon-
Gilable issue to conclusion, and we
fought it to a right conclusion. We
yindicated freedom in America we
obliterated slavery from the free soil
of this great Nation. That is what
we have got to do for the entire
despotism. which is
another form of slavery, and make
liberty supreme. In no other way
can the world be made safe for de-
mocracy. 1t is a noble ideal; it is
the only kind of an ideal for which
L great republic like ours, a republic
Of freemen, could or would fight -.

is scheduled for presentation at the

1t is a thrilling and awe-inspiring

death to the little force so gallantly

fierce charge, the disasterous retreat

WHAT WE FIGHT

THE war was begun by the mill
tary masters of Germany, who proved
to be also masters of Austria Hung
ary. These men have never regarded
nations as peoples, men, women, and
children of like blood and frame as
themselves, for whom governments
existed and in whom governments
had their life. They have regarded
them merely as serviceable organi-
cations which they could force o.
intrigue bend or corrupt to their own
purpose. They have regarded the
smaller States, in particular, and the
peoples who could be overwhelmed
by force, as their natural tools and
instruments. of domination. Thir
purpos has long been avowed +
IF they succeed they are safe, and
Germany and the world are undone;
if they fail, Germany is saved and
the world will be at peace If they
succeed, America will fall within
the mneace We and all the rest
of the world must remain armed as
they will remain, and must make
ready for the next step in their ag-
gression if they fail, the world may
united for peace, and Germany may
be one of the union. Woodrow Will
son. President of the United States.
