NE:[VILLE ELLIS
 DIES IN GOTHAM

Distressed to learn of the death of
 Melville Ellis ill New York few days
 ago, Phoenix friends mourned the pass
 ing of the brilliant young musician. 1t
 was while in New Orleans a short time
 since that Mir. Ellis became seriously
 ill, suffering from typhoid fever. He was removed to New York where he
 passed away and where he will have
 a large public funeral at the request of the professional men by whom he was considered a genius.
 For the past year MT. Ellis has been in vaudeville with Irene Bordoni in a sketch that was one of the sensational
 hits of the season. Previous to entering vaudeville MT. Ellis appeared in a num-
 Der of Shubert productions which he costumed As a designer, he was with out rival. His exquisite taste, original ity and eye for color were nothing short 1 of marvellous. He designed the gowns worn by the best dressed stage stars and was connected with one of the smartest mOdste establishments in New York. As composer he was es- i pecially clever and played his own corlpositions in a brilliant manner
 Although he was deeply interested in his profession he had wide interests and his love for old friends and places was one his endearing qualities. He thor oughly enjoyed q visit to Phoenix two years ago and reviewed many of the old scenes of his childhood, for MT. FL lis passed his early boyhood here. His
 mother, Mrs James Ellis. is at present a resident of San Franciscoo.

IL is going to go hard with any one caught desccrating the American flag. One fragrant case was reported yes terday, and a reward is offered for the apprehension of those committing the act.
 When II. w Kahrs. of e19 North Third street returned from church yesterday noon, they found thai d large American flag which had been hanging in front Of the house for the past several days, had been smeared up. in the most revolting manner, and vile words and epitnets written over it.
 Ir Kahrs offered a S25 reward yesterday for the apprehension of those who committed the act.
 It was also noted about the city last night that several American flags hanging in front of stores and business houses, were being allowed to touch the ground.
 This is a fragrant case of disre- spect to the flag One veteran of the war of '99, called attention to at least two cases. and the flags were raised high enough to cle2r the ground.

CHRISTIAN LOYALTY
 SUBJECT IF SERMON

The morning sermon of Elder J. E. Yates Included a patriotic address defining Christian loyalty to the country. also an Easter memorial. of which the following is an extract:
 Two leading texts ale chosen. Fhe first from acts 1S:41 reads as fol lows: For so the Lord hath com manded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles. that thou shouldst be for salvation unto the ends of the earth
 My second leading text is found in, Acts 4:1O, H. 12. Be it known Into you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the means of Jesus Christ of Nazereth whom ye cruel fled. whom God raised mp from the dead, even by him Goeth this man stand here before you whole.
 This is the stone which was set at naugEt of you builders, which is be- come the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaV en given among men, whereby we must be saved'
 In order that the great truth set forth in this scripture may grip our minds, l shall proceed by asking some direct questions.
 First: Is it conceivable that our creator would ueNlSe q method ot
 salvation which would not be univer- sai in it's nature?
 Is it reasonable that God would q Rcdecmcr, such as Jesus Christ, to save the Jews, and then send various other individuals as Redeemers of the Gentiies. and the various natioralities, teaching altogether different doctrines and establishing hundreds of differ ent kinds of religion?
 i No, the true religion must be uni veIsal in it's nature and applicable to all mankind.
 The true Redeemer of the race must present q doctrine a gospel, 9 religion or system of law which meets
 the needs of all people.
 Did this man Jesus represent him. self as the promoter of 2 philosophy l or doctrine suitable to the Jews only
 or to any particular class Of men ex- elusive of all others? Note the first teyt "I have set thee to be a light of tie Gentiles, that thou shouldst be for salvation unIo the ends of the earth. Here then in the very be- ginning of the work of Jesus Christ is q foundation broad enough and strong enough to include all the hu-
 man family For Jesus to have

upon them and grind them to powder The unalterable nature of the gospel is also set forth in the language of the Master himself when he said: Tn vair dc they worship me, teach ing for doctrine tte commandments of men,
 Tn view of the oneness of the truth. and the unchability of God and his word and the gospel and doctrines, how very, very. many sad disappOnt- ments are inevitable, awaiting poor misguided souls who have foolishlY thought that most any kind of system of religion or worship will do. Let US not forget what Jesus said about incorrect doctrines and consequent vain worship; and then, last the very desira ble condition of a union of all churches, temTt some to a compro- mise of that which is fundamental. in this matter of salvation, and the worship of God, let us hear again gospel bell which rings with no un- certain sound in the following lang
 lage by the Apostle Paul:
 There be some that would prevert the @OsIel of Christ. But though We, or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel than that which we have preached into you. let him he ac- cursed ed-Gal2tlanS 1:1, x.
 There is no other name than that of Jesus Christ by which salvation may be obtained. and no other per feet gospel than his. There is more than one way to reject the stone which is become the head of the corner; and to wickediy pervert the doctrine of Christ will be as disas- teroIs, as to reject him altogether
 Those who ignorantly teach. or fellow . delusion. will not be ever lastinelY condemned u1lsss it be a wilf'i ignorance the result Of dis obedience: and when all learn the truth 1t will be realized that there is no other name given under heaven or among men whereby mankind may he saved. except through the name of Jesus Christ: and not by belief in the name only, but by consistent obedience to that which he thaught.

ARTILLERY DUEL
In Flanders Is Growing Violent
BOmbardment Especially Heavy
From BixachoOte to HOLE.
beke, Germans Say.

Berlin, August 9-(Via London) -
The artillery duel in. Flanders has
again increased to the greatest In
tensity, reports the German general
staff. The bombardment has been es-
pecially heavy on the Belgian coast
and from Bixschoote to Hollebeke.
The statement Of the general stan
says strong forces of Russians and
Rumanians endeavored to recapture
ground taken from them norts of Fox
sham, in Moldavia, but that all the
attacks were repulsed with sangui-
nary losses and that the number OF
prisoners taken by the Teutonic allies
has been increased to 1900
On none of the battle fronts of Eu-
rope has the fighting activity of the
last twenty-four hours been marked
In Flanders, however, the great ar
tillery battle continues most violent
ly, seemingly preparing the way for
further infantry activity.
The only infantry engagement in
Flanders has taken place on the line
between Pyres and DiXmude, with the
French troops the aggressors in both
instances. Northwest of Bischoote
the French have enlarged further the
gains made Wednesday.
Southwest of Bixschoote in the re-
gion south of Langemarcke, the
French have made some progress into
the German line. Terrain conditions
in Flanders, made more difficult by
the rains of the last ten days, are
such that without the destruction OF
enemy defenses by artillery fire, it is
nearly useless to throw forward in
fantry attacks.
