the success of the nation in
war" 1t is logical rule for
the occasion and the proper
working of the draft law will
require that it be fearleSsly ap-
piled, not only in seeing that
certain men go to the army but
also in seeing that certain other
men are excused. Where a man
has a special ability or train
ing that makes him a valuable
factor in such lines as produc-
tion or manufacture-particu-
iarly if he be in an executive
poSition-it would be a blum
der to take that man from his
post and send him to the army
as an enlisted man. Our flour
mills, our manufacturing plants
of all kinds and our farms and
stock ranches must be kept go
ing to the maximum. If those
should fail to NEE
duties expected of them the ma
lion would suffer. Happily
there will be no reason for this
because the compulsory service
aw gives the exemption boards
eeway to safeguard the best
of the country.

POSSIBILITIES OF AIR
FIGHTING

m HE feat of the American
VI aviators in the La Fay
cite escadrille is but a
faint forerunner of the work
! United States airmen should
be able to do when our new
500, 100000 flying corps gets
into action. We will have 22,-
600 aeroplanes, half of which
can be completed within a
years time if all goes well.
We are now getting men in
training for the service and it
goes without saying that in due
time the American aviators
are going to become truly
formidable factor in the Euro
pean fighting.
Airplanes have done effec-
tive service since the beginning
of the conflict on all fronts
chiefly as scouts. The pro-
gram undertaken by the Unit
ed States contemplates more
than machines for observation
it contemplates the use of
flyers in mass, in squadrons.
fleets and divisions.
1t is expected that when
America gets great flotilla of
flying machines into action
that not only will the German
Taubes be driven from the sky
and the Prussian armies blind
ed, but that offensive opera
tions will be undertaken that
will go a considerable way
toward bringing the war home
tc Germany and to an end.
Experts have speculated on
the potentialities of several
thousand aeroplanes dropping
bombs on a given point at one
Heligoland, Essen or
Potsdam. but it requires no
great military genius to visua-
lie the great possibilities of
an air army. Trenches. con-
crete bastions, barbed wire en-
tanglements, machine guns
all of these are great obstacles
10 the soldier on the ground,
but the sailor of the air need
fear none of these.

Every Friday from l until 5 o'clock

This was decided at a meeting of the

many of the women are Red Cross

Red Cross days, they will set aside this
particular afternoon in addition to their
regular aid.
Members of the junior class of the
Northern State Normal school at Flag

800 to Governor Campbell to be placed
in the Arizona state Red Cross fund
This sum, it was stated, was the
amount realized from the annual Junior

by both factions and placed before a.
H. Fulton, county superintendent of
schools
A petition signed by over so residents
of the Osborn district has been pre-
scented to the county uperintendent
asking him to recommend to the board
of supervisors that a portion of the
southeast of Osborn be united with the
Phoenix district. The board of trus-
tees of the district have protested
against this move and attached to the
protest is a list of rs signatures of
residents who failed to sign the petit
ton.
Superintendent Fulton stated yester-
day that while not favorable toward
making the change in the manner sug-
gested by the petition, circumstances
might compel him to make the recon-
mendation. He said that he would like
to see the entire Orborn district united
with Phoenix but that that question

The total assessed value of the dis

S960,00O lies within the part it is pro-

ABOUT one-third of our source of reve-

would be unfair to the bondholders.

WILL
PAY TRIBUTE To
SPIRIT Of 1776
Splendid Program Planned
for Anniversary of First
Battle in Revolution to
Make This Great Nation

On Apri 10, 142 years ago there was
fired the shot heard round the world"
and on April 10, 1917, there win assem-
bic in many cities in the land of the
free, which came as a sequel to that
shot, vast concourse> OF free people
bent upon but a single thing-to show
their loyalty to these United States.
Phoenix, never behind in patriotism.
will be one of those cities and here, in
the block north of the old Center street
school, thousands win gather for the
primary purpose of aiding in the gath
ering Of men that the. war with Ger
many may be successfully prosecuted.
Phoenix Chapter, Sons of the Amer
lean Revolution, has been asked by
Mayor Peter Corpstein to aid him in
making this celebration, which Will
last from until 4 o'clock, the success
it should be, and already committees
are at work on the detailed plans for
the occasion.
April 10 is the anniversary of the
battle of Lexington, when a handful of
New England militia stood its ground
in the face of 800 of the enemy. 1t is
felt that the men of 1917 will not be
one whit behind their fOrefathers in de-
Tending the honor of that flag whose
birth dates from the revolution follow
ing the battle of Lexington.
ON this fitting anniversary pro-
gram will be presented W2icn cannot
fail TO stir the patriotic feeling of the
people Honored guests will be the
veterans of the wars of the Union. To
stir the blood, orators will be present,
including Governor Campbell, Bishop
Atwood and Father NOvatus of the
Catholic church, and one Of the ma
TONS masterpieces, Paul Revere's
Ride" will be given.
At the north of the veteran school,
house there will be a stand for the
speakers and all of the space, even
including the streets which will be
roped off, will be used to accommodate
the thousands who will come to this
patriotic celebration. The ever-loyal
bands of the city and vicinity will be
on hand to play appropriate music and
cards with the words of the nationally
loved songs will be furnished so that
all may join in the singing. The
chorus work will be directed by Will
liam Conrad Mills, and the decorations,
in the hands of prominent women of
the city, will be most complete.
Everyone in Arizona who can come
is urged to attend and each one com
ing is asked to bring an American
flag. Over this sea of earnest faces
the colors of Old Glory will fly and
flutter as the appeal for men and more
men goes forth
Not the least striking will be fife
and drum corps costumed as were the
players of '76, and the choirs and
musical organizations OF the city are
asked to take part and lead the sing
ing.
1t is to be a great knitting together
of patriotic impulse upon an ami
versary which brings the red blood to
the cheek of every loyal American and
