why WOMEN SHOULD
BUY LIBERTY BONDS

BY MRS. STEPHEN o. RICHEY.
President of the Washington Club.
As at our country's call both
men and women bravely sacrifice
life itself, they cannot at our
country's call fail to make any
sacrifice which enables them to
purchase the liberty bond. 1t
seems almost a flaw in ones
patriotism to remember that 1t
Is nm absolutely safe investment,
and for this reason particularly
advisable for women; also that
it escapes taxation. Think OF
escaping taxes without perjury!
Patriotism. n safe investment,
and no taxes-it sounds almost
like n bargain counter, witch II
said to have great attraction for
our sex, but, without doubt, 1T
Is an opportunity the wise Will
not MISS.

LODGE OFFICER

With the arrival in Phoenix of Mrs Marie L. Goran, district manager of the Fraternal Brotherhood, with head quarters in Los Angeles, added im- petus is anticipated in the movement of Maricopa Lodge, No. 49, to increase it's membership and the interest of the present members in the work of the order. As president of the City Off, ficers assembly of the Fraternal Bro therhood in Los Angeles, Mrs. Goran made a record for herself that won recognition of her ability as work CT in the order. Her reward came in the way of an appointment to the Ari- zona field where she will engage in special work.
 The presence of Mrs. Goran at the regular meeting of Maricopa Lodge, No 43, at it's regular meeting on Saturday evening, should result in an excep- tional attendance of members. It is announced that on that occasion there will be a class to initiate and all mem- bers are urged to attend and take part in this work.
 More important still is the matter of arranging for the fortn- coming visit of Supreme President Carlos s. Hardy, who is expected to pay an official visit to the lodge early in January. Mari copa. No. 43, is anxious that the en- tertainment afforded the supreme of ficer will be such that he will leave with most favorable impression. At the meeting Saturday evening plans for this entertainment will be dis cussed.

 This proclamation and the regula- tions herein contained shall extend and apply to all land and water continental or insular, in any way within the jur- isdiction of the United States.
 Since congress adopted the war res oution, the department of justice and other government departments have been besieged with anxious queries from big manufacturers and coal oper- ators employing many Austro- Hun garian laborers. Fear was expressed that with labor already inadequate for the war industries any drastic action against Austrian subjects would ser iously hamper war production. These industrial leaders were told at first that the department planned only to compel Austrians to register.
 With in the last few days a number of Austrian subjects have been ar rested in. the United States and held | for investigation to determine whether they should be interned during the war The identity of these men and the extent of the roundup has not been made public by the department .of justice.

peal or ant-pooling laws. They believe that measures already taken for the common use of equipment and track age will bring relief from congestion, though government approval of rail- road credit will be necessary if the roads are to raise capital that will be needed next year
 After seeing the war board members. the president received the legislative representatives of the four railroad brotherhoods who came to Washington 10 urge that there be no repeal of legis- lation assuring the safety of railroad Workmen. The railroad men were par ticularly concerned over reports that congress might be asked to repeal full crew and safety appliance acts.
 The representatives were: H. E.. Wills, of the engineers: P. !. McNam- ara, of the firemen: W. NJ. Clark of the conductors and w. M Doak of the trainmen
 The president was told by members of the war board of steps already taken by the operating committee of eastern executives to clear choked terminals. These measures, the war board said, already are showing results. and if given time the roads can put traffic
 
 considering the great amount of freight they are asked to transport.
 Attention was called to the roads recommendation of a month ago that the government deny transportation to anore than 800 commodities classed as essentials. An order of this char acter. the presidents callers insisted. would have to be issued eventually. whoever operates the roads, since there is more traffic than can he moved.
 Orders transferring 100 locomotives from western lines to the east were made public tonight by the war board. The engines will be started east within the next A hours. They will be used by the more heavily burdened lines and will be furnished by the western lines in proportion to the number each owns.
 Announcement tonight from New York that the eastern operating com mittee had declared an embargo on ex- port freight except for government supplies was hailed by war board members as one of the most effective moves made yet toward relieving con- gested conditions.

Der of motor trucks, so that their lines may easily and regularly be supplied with every necessity.
 The scene immediately behind the front is in vivid contrast to the scene behind any German or Austrian front which the correspondent repeatedly saw for more than two years, by req son fthe superior transportation fla cilities over the Germans, who are short of oil, gasoline and tires and who must forward their supplies mostly in horse drawn vehicles.
 The Germans who patrol the French sector apparently are more venture some than they are along the front in France, for here they boldly cross their lines, regardless of the shrapnel bonn bardment, and.invite attacks by French planes in their eagerness to spy out batteries that constantly are bombing German positions.
 The correspondent during the course of four hour walk along the French l lines yesterday witnessed a series of aerial conflicts, and although the Ger man planes never were entirely driven off, they obviously were so harrassed l by the shrapnel and machine gun fire from protecting French planes, that 1 they never were able correctly to di- rect their own artillery fire, which fell wide of the mark.
 In artillery work the French appear to be taking an aggressive initiative 1 for their batteries. and those of the Italians still remaining in position along the French sector. keep up a vicious pounding in an effort to reach l the German guns in their advantage ous positions on the dominating noun l tains
