The heaViness Of some high grade securI- ties, including bonds, initiated against a general advance until the last hour, when trading became very active lead CTS adding to points to earlier gains of like extent.
 There were no new developments to account for the movement. The strength of coppers and affiliated shares suggested a satisfactory com promise between producers and the war board regarding price regulation.

 Affiliated steels, equipments. ship pings, motors and oils participated in equal or greater measure and utilities among the early elements of weakness also rallied in whole or large part.

WAR|S SbR0UGHT l
 CLOSE HOME T0 ,. ROTARY CLUB.

Sergeant Dunlap and Sergeant Nit chell, the Canadian recruiting ser geants working in Phoenix at the pres | ent time, and c. s. Melee, general dis trict manager of the Western Union | Telegraph company were the three principal speakers at yesterdays Ro- tary luncheon. The meeting was in charge of Wallace Button of the Der ryhill company, and in his opening re- marks he stated that the meeting would be a war meeting. It proved to be an intensely interesting meeting MT. Melee explained the part the western Union is taking in aiding the United States government in conducting the war.
 Sergeant Dunlap spoke on the part in the war taken by Great Britain and Canada. He said one-half million men, or per cent of the entire population of Canada had offered it's services vol untarily to the mother country, and this previous to the recent systematic draft arrangement adopted there. Some of the figures given by MT. Dunlap proved interesting. For over year and a half past, Great Britain has spent in the aggregate thirty four mill lion dollars day in the war.
 Great Britain entered the war with only 1000, 900 standing army. which in- cluded those of all it's colonies. Within nine months the British government had under arms, on the war front, one million seven hundred thousand men. Great Britain has furnished transpor- tation to 13,000,000 men in various quarters at various times with a total hA began the casualty list has been Il per cent, which is less than the average death rate of the large cities for the same length of time. Great Britain is maintaining in every department six different armies in different parts of the world. Great Britain has recruited in the United States IT regiments, making up about 10000 men, of which l 1000 came from the state of Califor- mia, all volunteers.
 Sergeant Mitchell gave vivid pictures | of battle fronts, personal experiences l in Belgium and Ere ce fronts; his re- 1 cital was tense ana first hand. He gave some "reminiscences of incidents that l happened from time to time and re- | lated experiences in the engagements
 of the battle of Somne and Vime Ridge l He recited the immense amount of work that is being performed by the | gas engine in the form of tractors, ! trucks, automobiles, motorcycles. Some l of the interesting tales told by Ser 1 geant Mitchell related to air fighting. l In one fight he witnessed engagement
 of 50 machines over Vine ridge section
 within thirty minutes three Germans
 and two British machines came down
 in flames. MT. Mitchell gave many in- teresting facts regarding trench war
 fare, of the excitement and of the diff
 faculties encountered He told of the
 guns from the smallest up to 15 inch
 guns, throwing 900 shells nine miles.
 MT. Mitchell then gave review of the
 work in his own regiment in the two
 great battles mentioned At the end
 of the three days, out of 4S0 Canadians

Leave for Mexico

J. l.. Peters and wife left Mesa yes- terday for Phoenix, rom which place the former will start tomorrow even ing for Magdalena, Mexico. MT. Peters has been in the employ of the Fog gery and some weeks since, received a flattering offer from s big mining con- pony operating in southern Mexico. This he accepted and at once set about securing his passport, which has only just been granted. He found it a diff ficult and tedious matter as the govern ment is extremely strict about issu- ing passports. In fact, Peters received a message yesterday morning from Carl Hayden. stating that it was at present impossible to secure one for the wife, as no women are allowed to leave the country under the rulings now being made. Mrs. Peters will go to Los Ange- les to await the pleasure of the gov ernment authorities before joining her husband. The couple have proven to be genial and popular acquisitions to Mesa citizenship. and their leaving is a matter of regret.

even more troublesome and not a few plants have been forced to shut down altogether or to appreciably reduce op- erations because of the added difficult ties of obtaining fuel. The stoppage or curtailment of work is especially un- fortunate at a time when the pressure for supplies of various materials and merchandise for the government and other interests is so great and in branches where regular buying has di unfinished the change is not unwelcome, with producers hampered as they are. That strictly civilian trade, while not so conspicuously active as previously, remains large in the aggregate reports make clear and Christmas shopping has started in a way forecasting favorable results, on the whole But holiday pur- chases in most instances are both more conservative and discriminating than last year and emphasize the movement toward economy which has grown out of the war and which is spreading in about all sections.
