.GREAT DRIVE FUR MEMBERS. IF
 RED CROSS OPENS HERE TODAY

Today is the first great day for the local drive for Red Cross members and at 10 o'clock this morning the nine booths in the downtown district will be properly officered by earnest women, aided by men delegated from the kiWapis club, Who are eager to add to the mercy tIst of this great comfort organization, As the marines are first to fight, so the Red Cross is first to aid-first to care for the wounded, first to give comfort to the suffering, the Christian hand out stretched in the cause of true democ- racy.
 Phoenix chapter hes about 1,500 members. It wants 5000. Every name is needed, every dollar wanted for the tremendous task at the front. All may not be able to fight for right, but all can back up right by joining the Red Cross.
 An eastern paper received at the local Red Cross headquarters has an appeal which receives the hearty en- dorsement /uf the workers here. This appeal reads:
 Help! Help!

The Evil of Profiteerina

The government has aimed at profiteering, not be- cause it but because of the evil effect of it ppon the war plans of the government But aiming thing and hitting it sometimes, frequently than not two very different things.

true-and that is just wnere the heart comes in The test is whether. in order to help, you can bring yourself to re- new your Red Cross membership at once, even if it is not yet due for renewal, to last throughout the year of 1918. It will cost you only a dol lar to do it, yet doing it may seem to you a sort of special sacrifice. And yet, what a pitifully little thing it is to sacrifice a dollar when men are sacrificing eyes, arms, legs, lives. Remember there's a good reason for this wholesale changing of the mem bership roll in the Red Gross. When there were only a few thousand mem bers it was no very difficult job for the secretaries and treasurers to keep track of the constant renewals which fell due some of them, in every month Of the twelve Now that the membership has mounted into the mil lions, this helter-s -skelter system of l constant eXpirations and renewals be- comes physically intolerable. It has ! become an imperative necessity to systematic the whole thing and make all the memberships begin and end on the same date. That cant be done unless the present siate De wiped en- tuely clean and all memberships made to start, so to speak, from scratch. Of course if you are going to insist you can; but we can see that this thing has to be done, if the organiza- tion is to be sIaightened out, and we suspect. that most me>i and womer will be perfectly. ready and willing tC call off whatever few months of pres ent membership may be coming tc them, and not count the dollar it costs in circumstances such as we have now all around us.

Conscription in Canada

The Canadian elections, resulting in an overwhem- ing endorsement of the principle of conscripton, was be expected. None of the other colonies of Great Britain has been close to the mother country. In no other was there such rush to arms when Great Britain entered the It would have been strange
 this test of Canadian loyalty had failed at this time when the mother country obliged to lean more heavily upon her children.
 Voluntary enlistment had, as usual, been found to be intellectual. Before the year old en- listments had fallen off alarminsly quota of 300 900 had been fixed for the Dominion. Before the end of the year the enistments had fallen below the osses. It was then decided that 1T Canada was to perform it's part in the war there must be conscrip- tion The fact was no reflection upon Canadas loyal ti The same had been true of England herself; it would have been true of France or America. Armies cannot be created by enlistment.
 Conscripton was stubbornly opposed in the French protinces and the cause of opposition which had not been generally understood curious one It would quite naturally have been supposed that the Canadian French would have been foremost in the war; that their love for France whose existence more than that off Great Britain was at stake, would have peculiarly called to French blood.
 But the French appeal to the French provinces met not alone with apathy but hostility The love of the church was stronger than the love of ancestry The French Canadians the descendants Of those WnO had left France when the country Catholic in fact as well as in name; before agnosticism had invaded the very church.
 Resentment was especially held against France for the Separation of 1905, for the indgnities offered to the religious orders and to the personal representatives of the pope. The French of Canada believed that France by those sacrigious acts had absolyed all French Catholics of the duty of loyalty.
 It is the more curious that this attitude pe- culiar to French Catholics and to those of other races. There were more loyal Canadians than the Irish Catholics who heavily represented in the trenches and in the contributions to the Wher ever there was a heavy Irish population the govern ment had hearty support throughout the recent cam naign

NO PEACE WITH KAisER,sM.

Whatever may be the prospects fo further peace offers on the part o Germany. as indicated in the foreigr dispatches of the past few days ther, is little likelihood that they will bt gwen more than a scant hearing al best. The mood of the nations ar rayed against Germany is well indi- cated in the reception previously given to the German peace offers and there is absolutely not one reason why they should change their atti- tude at this time.
 Furthermore 1t may be said that, in view of the war situation as 1t is at present, with the United States and a refreshed and rejuvented Rus sia in the field the chances for an acceptance of any peace proposals which German might make are very much smaller than before.
 We think that the attitude of Presi- dent Wilson, as expressed .n his ia. nous message to congress, is a free expression of the general attitude of the other allied belligerenis.
 The war of the allies is not a war against the German people, but against the German government. Like the United States the European d. lies have no quarrel with the German people as a race. But they have very decided quarrel with the German gov ernment and its leader, the kaiser. Further, they are not seeking con- quest at the expense Of Germany. They wish no German lands save those which have been wrested away from others by Germany herself The United States has openly disavowed any intention 10 exact a huge indem- nity or acquire territory from a con- qnered foe; Russia has proclaimed to the world that she will accept neither indemnities or territory, and David Lloyd George, in his reply to the German peace proposals of recent memory stated plainiy that 1t was the intention Of the allies to demand only the restitution of such lands as Ger many had herself acquired at the ex- pense of others.
 In spite of the rabid protestations of the supporters of the German govern ment that the allies are seeking the dismemberment of Germany, there is little hint of desire for open con- quest in the attitude of the nations opposed to Germany. The Italian at- titude alone appears to be one of which territorial gains are a feature. And. even in the case of Italy, the desire for territorial rewards appears to be confined only to the desire to regain lands that were forcibly and illegally taken away from her by Aus tria The fight Is purely one against the Teutonic governments, with the
