 Most of the prisoners taken, who up to tonight numbered approximately 5000. while others still are pouring out Of the deep caverns, were caught in quarrieS. One group, composed of 400 men, was led out to surrender by a German soldier who spoke French and who assured his comrades that they need not fear bad treatment from their captors, despite the assertions cur rently made to them by their officers that the French massacred prisoners Another batch of prisoners fell into the hands of the French just as they

end
 When the allies learned that we had joined in the fight against autocracy their enthusiasm knew no bounds. cause our declaration of war meant tlefield, although they appreciated the fact that we would. They were es- pecially enthusiastic because all the vast rich resources of the United States would be pledged to the cause of liberty Plenty of food and equip ment is especially what they need.
 T think that one of the biggest tasks , before us is to find who among us are not true blue and publish their names. especially if they have the means but do not assist in the second Liberty Loan drive. If there are such men as that in Salt River valley let us get them out of the country. Let's place a brand on them. Let's forget politics and think of the big issue before us and which all of us must face without regard to political affiliations.
 T want to say a word about you in surance men. There are no better men on the earth to sell Liberty bonds than men of your connection. I know, be- cause 1 am on the buying end. I know hat in the couple of days you men work the issue is going to be helped"
 The following members were named on the fire insurance committee: Carl H. Anderson, H. C. Princes and MT. Morgan Members of the life insur- ance committee: NJ. P. Kelly, Paul Kantz and W. F. Van Meter. R. Allyn Lewis was named as an honorary mem Der of both of the committees. They will meet tonight at the Arizona club at o'clock for further instructions and complete their organization. R. Allyn Lewis. A. K. Stacy and M. P. Kelly were appointed members of a committee to wind up the business of the association on Saturday.

UNDERWRITERS TO
 CAMPAIGN FRIDAY

Following a series of stirring speeches on the Liberty Loan at a meeting of the Underwriters associa- ton held last night at the Arizona club, fire and life insurance commit tees were appointed to assist in the campaign. They will. give Friday and if necessary Saturday in assisting in the move to bring the second big loan to a successful issue.
 A. K. Stacy, acting as chairman of the meeting, introduced Dwight E. Heard q find that the best argument to give any prospective bond buyer is the fact that there is not a better fn- vestment in the country than it af- fords.'' said MT. Heard in his opening remarks to the insurance men.
 Many are not aware that the Ger man government recently authorized another loan of many millions of marks. This makes it necessary that we oversubscribe the Liberty Loan so We can send this word to Germany and show them we mean business.
 If it should happen that the loan fell down, then it would mean that the government would have to raise the money by taxation. This would mean that the burden of the expense of the war would fall on the present genera lion and consequently would be very heavy to bear. The government has selected the method of raising the loan by which some of the debt will be borne by posterity.
 T was talking to one farmer today about buying a bond, when he sud- denly informed me that he had already given two sons for the cause. But he added that he wanted to see that they went to war under the best of condi- tions with the best weapons of defense possible. He subscribed to two $10t bonds.
 q want to say to you men here to- night that it is necessary that we over subscribe the bond issue to the maxi mum of $5,000,00 00,000."

 Tn organizing the Liberty club these officers were chosen: Charles Norton, president; Lucille Wright, vice-presl- dent; Ethel Moss, secretary; Miss
 Rock, treasurer, and Miss Mullen, ad- vertiser So many children wanted to contribute their bit to the purchase of the Second Liberty Bonds. None of
 these was in position to pay for an entire bond. but among themselves i they decided they could rasie enough | money to buy a bond. They imparted this belief to their teacher, Miss Carrie Rock, and from. this grew the Liberty 1 club
 To make the work doubly effective i it was decided that after the bond or 1 bonds had been purchased they could 1 be made to do good work and accord 1 ingly it was agreed that these bonds should be turned over to the aid of the 1 Red Cross.
 | Miss Rock expressed the belief last ! evening that the school. through its ] little contributions from the individual
 pupils, would be enabled to purchase at least two bonds And she said that i if any person doubts the Americanism ] of the pupils of Monroe school they ] should just visit there some day and i hear the boys and girls express them- i selves.

 contributing and the sums each has 1 given.
