RED CROSS RELIEF
 FOR THE BELGIANS

Announcement of an appropriation of S5S9,930 for the relief of Belgians not under the rule of Germany was made Wednesday by the War Council of the American Red Cross. This fund is to be used in beginning the work of the new Red Cross depart ment for Belgium recently organized under the Red Cross Commission to France.
 The separation of relief work iu Belgium from that of France was de- termined on by the War Council ow- ing to the present difficulties of com munication and transportation in France. By establishing a new de- partment at Havre, the present seat of the Belgian Government, the Red Cross program of relief in that part of Belgium still outside the German grip, will be we'll under way before the winter begins.
 Two of the ablest administrators of the Red Cross Commission to France, Ernest P. Bicknell, former di- rector General of Civilian Relief of the Red Cross, and Dr. John Van Shaick, have been placed in charge of this new work.
 Comprehensive plans, for whose ex- ecution funds have now been appro- priated by the War Council, are al ready under way in Belgium. These were outlined in conferences between King Albert and Major Grayson M.- P. Murphy, head of the Commission to France. Warehouses and stores are to be immediately erected along ca nals and highways in Belgium to serve as centers of relief distribution. From these, by means of barges and automobiles, using the Flemish ca nals and roads, foodstuffs and cloth ing will be distributed to the hun dreds of thousands of Belgian refu- gees crowded behind the fighting lines.
 Particular attention is to be given to Belgian children and orphans who have been the chief sufferers during the three years of war. The Red Cross is planning to aid hotels, estab- lished under the direction of the Queen of Belgium, for the care of children under four years of age. Eff forts are to be made to see that the schooling of these children torn apart from their homes, does not entirely cease. Refugee Belgian children, in other parts of France and Switzer- land, are also to receive the special care of this new department.
 Included in the appropriation, also, is money for the operation of hos pital for wounded Belgian soldiers to supplement the already over-taxed hospital resources of the Belgian Government.

RAILROAD TO TAP
 GREAT COAL BELT

Tapping the second largest coal producing district in Arizona and opening what will be the first pro- ducing coal mines in the state, railroad is now under construction from Holbrook to Cluffs Cienega in the White Mountains.
 "A construction gang with 200 mules is now at work on the roadbed of this railroad" said c. Nj. Zander, member of the state tax commission, yesterday. Mir. Zander has just re- turned from an extended trip in the northern part of the state.
 "The road is to be standard guage," said Mir. Zander, land is gen. erally supposed to be built by the McGaffey Lumber Company. They expect to complete the road by this time next year when it will be ready to take out millions of feet of lumber yearly.
 Arizona has the largest unbroken timber belt in the United States, and this road will tap the finest part of that belt in the White Mountains, and under government regulation will never become exhausted. There is now being sawed by five big mills at Flagstaff and Williams fifty million feet annually. The government ex- perts estimate that there is enough timber in that belt in this state to saw two hundred million feet annual ly perpetually, and this road now un- der construction will make it possi- ble to reach that maximum. It also develops one of the finest dry farming belts in the state."-St. Johns Herald.

News of Interest Gathered Here and There in the State


.Alvarado pulled gun and fired six times at the officer without hitting, and then both men started to run. Gardner got his artillery limbered up by that time and took one shot at the fleeing thugs, inflicting a flesh wound on Alvarado, whom he arrested and sent to the Santa Fe hospital. The man who did the shooting escaped and has probably left the country for good.-Winslow Mail.

GETTING SUPREMACY

"The real effort of this un-American organization is the obtaining and main taining of it's political supremacy.
 Many. Of you would object to the ise of machine politics. but most political machines are not secret political organ izations They fight in the open, the T. As behind closed doors and in he dark and thus it is that this secret organization in our midst is Infinitely more dangerous and more destructive to true American ideas, and to liberty, and to freedom, than machine politics could ever be.
 Tt dooms to destruction not only Cath olics but all persons, including women not subscribe to the secret tenets of this order
 Tt is the embryo of the vendetti, the hinsman of the Black Hand
 Tt is unfair, un-American. It creates hatred, i'll will and tends to turmoil and decadence.
 "It behooves the intelligent people to vote down this thing which is menace to free institutions, antagonistic to our laws, ruinous to business and which threatens to impede Birmingham's pro- gressive march. It must be destroyed. Intelligence demands it. The good of Bir- mingham requires it.

 D. M. Lewis presided at the meeting at Ens1ey last night when George E, Ward, pr. R. M. Cunningham and :. J. Bowie spoke at the city hall to splendid crowd in behalf of MT. Wards candidacy for the presidency of the city commission.
 Dr. Cunningham was the first speaker and in his unique way pointed out what he believed to be the logical reasons why George Ward should be elected and why he thought Mr. Wara was the best of the three men in the race. You have no right to vote for personal obligations" he said. Per- sonal friendships and obligations should not control mans vote. The men we will elect next Monday will govern our city, they will control our laws. they will be the legislative body We have no government as close to us as the city government It means a great deal to us, morally, financially personally and ethically, what kind of men you elect.

At 10:15 o'clock George Ward began his speech amid tumultuous applause follow ing MT. Bowie
 You have listened to two great speeches tonight, and I don't believe you will again hear two such speeches in many days to come said MT. Ward
 I want to say a few brief words about the T. As right here, and my speech will be short.
 ''i have at heart solely the good and welfare of this community. There has been discovered here and exposed a secret political organization known as the T. As, sometimes called True Americans, which is taking a very Fac- tive part In this campaign.
 Tt is commonly reported and general ly believed that this secret political so- ciety claims credit for having elected cer- tain of our county officials at the last general election and that it is now de- termed on undertaking to elect certain of our city officials
 "I am not concerned with your pro- Catholic or anti-Catholic views, but am vitally concerned. as are you. with the peace and security and the welfare ot this community.
 T believe that a secret political so- ciety is inimical to the best interests oi this or any other community. I object to the raising of false issues by the in jection of religious agitation. The effort of the so-called T. As to elect certain officials and to condemn all others not members of the secret society, is vicious in principle and destructive in practice ;c

DRESS AND SUGGESTIONS ANNE n.4Hn,nor.n FOR WOMEN
Lanvin makes the sandwich frock as a novelty, but slings to the tunic frock as good and reliable fashion.

New York, October 3.--America has learned to look carefully among the gowns at the exhibitions of French clothes for the label of Jeanne Ian win. As these openings are now III full swing here and as one does not have the space to go idto them in de- tail, it is dire necessity to pick out gown that America may like and tell about it and few of it's fellows.
 The majority of women ask what Lanvin is doing because they feel they will do likewise in the near fu ture. Therefore. when it is au nounced that she is the sponsor of the most exaggerated sandwich gown we have had yet we realize that she has gone back to an early Italian epoch and that she will introduce the fash ion with full dignity and fine effect; but we cannot help asking ourselves if the American women in mass ap pear at an advantage in an Italian sandwich gown which is merely two broad widths of material held to- gether at the extreme end of the shoulders and ating free over girdled chemise made of another color.
 There will be certain smart women
 
 carry it off well, but. surely Lanvin intended this for the individual and not for the mass.
 TUNIC FROCK AGAIN The fact that she clings to the tunic gown brings a delight to the majority. They like this comfortable graceful way of dressing and they are quite willing to accept whatever new and interesting she invents in that silhouette.
 Lanvin is not alone in promoting a new kind of tunic frock which has a slim bodice, a good deal of colored wool embroidery and an excessively short and narrow skirt as back ground. The majority of French dressmakers and their AmerScan fol- lowers are endeavoring to impress this type of silhouette upon us for the coming season. It is not the fore most silhouette of the hour, for the slightly pull back skirt. with the evil dence of a hustle, is undoubtedly be- ing held up to the public as the one striking, original note of the season. It is the belief of the people who deal in froclSs in large quantities that this narrow skirt with it's up- i lifted line and it's small hustle will I be the most fashionable silhouette i'll America by November Some of the mannequins at famous establishme ents who troop around like Japanese in l these tight little skirts, have adopted
 new kind of walk which is quite in l teresting. It is the exact opposite of | the "debutante slouch." It is not the "Grecian bend" heaven forfend, but | it is a modern imitation of it. This hustle of today sounds worse than it is, and it is really quite graceful in the hand and the New 1 York mannequins look very well IT
 it. but it has none of the simple grace {. of the tunic, which suits the Ameri-
 can figure of a remarkable degree.

PHILADELPHIA SHIP
FIRED ON AT RIO
Shot Directed at Evelyn Due
to a misunderstanding
in Signals
NEUTRALITY OF BR AZIL

The American steamship Evelyn, whose
home port Is Philadelphia. was fired upon
by the Brazilian battleship Minesgeraes
through a misunderstanding in signals ac-
cording to a dispatch from Rio de Janelro
received here today
The Evelyn was not damaged, hut re-
turned to the harbor to clear up the mis-
understanding. The incident. according to
the dispatch, illustrates Brazils strict watch
for any violation of neutrality.
Sailing for Rio de Janeiro and other
South American ports January g. the Evelyn
was the last of the Philadelphia and South
American steamship Corporations vessels
to clear this port for traffic with South
America She carried $500 tons of general
cargo, besides $3,650, 900 in American gold
coin, Her cargo consisted of 'made-in-
America goods-steel, barbed wire, har-
Ncsting machines, textiles, talking ma
chimes, $50 automobiles and other Amer
ican-made goods.
The Evelyn incident is construed at Rio
de Janero as not only indicating Brazil's
determination to enforce strict neutrality,
but also as evidence of the whole-hearted
support of the position of the United States
against Germany on account Of the new
submarine decree.
