ALLIES RENEW
THEIR PLEDGE
None will Make Separate Peace
Declares Gen. Maurice.
TO MAKE GOOD JOB" OF WAR
Victory Brought Nearer BY Confer
ences A. Rome and London.
Says Military o.
rector.

London.-The recent conferences In
Rome and London between Entente
civil and military leaders developed
the utmost harmony and q determine
ton TO push the war to a conclusion
satisfactory to the Allies. according TO
the opinion expressed by Major-Gen-
eral +. D. Maurice, chief director OF
military operations at the War ONCE.
In discussing the latest events OF the
war.
Our enemies" said General
Maurice, ARE fond OF stating in their
own press that France has tired Of the
war, while limiting at a separate peace
for Russia, but ! can say confidently,
as q result of the return Of the dele
gates from Rome and last weeks con-
ference in London with General
Nivelle, that these meetings were
much more important in bringing vic
tory nearer than any recent military
events. The result Of these confer
ences showed the Allies heartily
agreed In a determination not TO &C.
cept an inconclusive peace, and that
they are as one In their determination
to make q good Job Of It before they
are ready to discuss terms.
"In the purely military realm, our
raids continue with increasing success
and diminishing casualties to our at
tackers, who bring back az many pris-
as Dur total casualty list, thus
putting the enemy's dead and wounded
on the plus side Of our ledger.
"The enemy's offensive in Roumania
has been not only halted but pushed
back q step. This result probably is
due to Russian achievements. but
weather conditions may also have had
a share in hating the Germans"
In connection with reports Of the
possibility Of q German attack on
Switzerland, General Maurice declared
that for such an operation the Germans
would be compelled to weaken their
other fronts, which could only be done
at . grave risk.

CHANCE TO SECURE
ODD FELLOWS HOME

MESA, March Word has been
received by the local lodges of the
Dad Fellows over the state to ascer-
tain the best possible location near
their respective cities for the estab-
lishment of home which shall be
for the orphans and aged people of
the fraternity. There are now 81
such institutions and it is the pur-
pose of the grand lodge to erect one
at some suitable place in Arizona.
The home will require 20 acres,
which must be so located as to be
accessible to city water. gas, cleo
tricity and sewer connections. A
joint committee from the Odd Eel
lows and Rebekahs has oeen APP
pointed to make investigation as to
the situation here and report so that
the matter may be taken up at the
grand lodge meeting in April. This
committee consists of G. c. Sher-
wood and Fred Weeks of the odd
Fellows lodge. and Mesdames James
Johnson, w. II. Bukey and Edwin
pattee of the Rebekahs.
The local members are very anxious
that the home be built near Mesa,
ana in conversation one of them
stated that there are practically only
about four towns in the state which
could meet the requirements and
some of these are handicapped Tue
son could furnish the public utility
connections, but as the grand lodge
desires the home located where veg
etables, fruits and mich cattle pas
turage could he used to advantage so
as to make the home table self -sus-
tanning, this would handicap the
Pueblo city Phoenix has all the de-
sired advantages but land close
enough in to meet the requirements
would be at almost prohibitiVe
price because of the size of the town.
There remain but Tempe and Mesa
and if the question is left to the
Mesa contingent there will be no DIFF
ficulty in settling 1t without delay.
The proposition will come up at the
next meeting Of the Commercial club
to be held March 49, Meanwhile sug-
gestions as to land available and
suitable are in order.
