(By United Press)

New York, May 3.-The submarine
destruction has been steadily increas-
ing for the last six weeks and the
situation is one of extra gravity now
ard we should make sure of REM
e6y," declared Herbert Hoover, the
new food dictator, who arrived here
today from London.
Hoover stated that deaths in the
Belgian industrial districts were trip
led as result of the ruthless sub
r,arining of supply ships by the Ger
mans. He said that the submarines
were the biggest menace of the war
and that to win the fight against
Germany the submarines would have
to be eliminated. The utilization of
every American effort is demanded at
this time. Belgium needs wheat and
meat badly and the destruction of
food ships has caused many people
to starve.

A CONTEMPTIBLE CRIMINAL

The profits from selling bootleg
whiskey are so small, when one
takes into consideration that the
chances of being caught and con-
victed are increasing every day,
that we wonder why anyone will
persist in a business That means
a heavy fine, Imprisonment and
disgrace.
There is nothing heroic about a
bootlegger. In fact, he is a
dangerous criminal. His victims
are generally the young boy he
finds at a dance, who thinks it is
mannish to appear in the role of
a drunkard, and easily falls for
the contraband.
Perhaps, the punishment meted
out to a convicted bootlegger is
not strong enough, the fine should
be heavier and the Jail sentence
longer, and it may be splendid
idea to make these Jail birds work
on the public roads, instead of
making them TRUSTEES.
To our mind there is no criminal
more contemplate or despicable
than the bootlegger, who de-
stroys the good morals of a COM
munity and debauches his victim
with the vilest kind of the devils 8

into the galleries Of every mine

than it ever was before in the

many a criminal who is wanted
for other offenses will be turned

A blare of bugles, ruffle of drums,

Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines.
Hats off!
The colors before us fly:
But NOR, than the flag is passing by!
Sea-fights and land-fights, grim and

Fought to make and to save the State
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace;
March ofa strong lands swift increase;
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverend awe;
Sing of nation, great ard strong
To ward her peoRle from foreign wrong:

THERE Is NO WAY TO ESCAPE

The following editorial, Whlch
was published in the Arizona
Republican, May 26th, explains
the situation thoroughly in re-
gard to the selective draft.
There is no escape from the reg
istration of all males, between
the ages of 2l and 30 years, and
leaving home to evade registra-
ton will not help anyone:
1T is reported that certain
young men in Phoenix between
the ages of Il and 80, inclusive,
without any useful occupation,
have deserted the street corners
and the pool rooms and have
taken to the hills, where they
expect to remain until after the
registration on June 5th for the
selective draft. That is foolish.
The registration itself can hurt
no one. 1t is the draft that may
hurt; especially those whom the
draft hits. But there is only one
way to remain in the United
States and escape becoming q
target for the draft. That way
is to get into the penitentiary,
and that is were these young
men will get if they try to escape
the registration.
The men who prepared the
selective draft army bill had all
these schemes in mind and pro.
vided against them; arranged
things so that no man of regis
tration age could escape. Sick.
ness, absence from home, avoid
able or unavoidable, ignorance,
none of these things can be ex.
cuses for not registering. There
can be no possible defense fol
the man who does not register.
There will be no jury to who's
tender mercies he can appeal.
There is only one thing that car
happen to him court.martia
will consign him to United
States prison.
"Of course, if these young
men intend to become perpetua,
fugitiyes they will have chance,
but very slim one, Of beating
the registration. There is a mar,
row chance that they may escape
by going to a different part OF
the country aDd changing thei,
names. But the chances woult
be very much against their es
cape then. The law also requires
that every man of registration
age anywhere in the Unitec
States must be prepared to show
wherever he may be, that he has
registered. If he has lost the
card which will be his proof o.
registration he &il ba rtatftt

PATRIOTIC AND SAFE

The patriotic nature of an in
vestment in the Liberty Loan
Bonds of 1917 is something that
| all Americans will consider. The
fact that in purchasing such a
bond the investor is lending his
money to his government-to to
his country to prosecute great
war, gives the investment a
dignity that the ordinary invest
ment does not possess. The uses
to which the money is to be put,
the noble purposes to which it is
to be devoted, all are things
which appeal more or less to the
American heart. q
But let no one be led by these
considerations to look on buying
a Liberty Loan Bond as a piece
| of benevolence or merely a con-
tribution to a worthy cause. The
Liberty Loan Bond is as good an
investment as an American citi-
zen can we'll make. The rate of
interest it bears may seem small,
but when its absolute safety is
considered and the fact that it is
nontaxable, and the further fact
that it is to be immune from any
taxes which later on may be
levied by reason of this war, and
still another fact that in case the
United States Government should
later during this war have to
borrow more money and pay
higher rate of interest, that the
holders. of these bonds can Sc.
cure bonds bearing that higher
rate-when all these things are
considered, an investment in
Liberty Loan Bonds possesses
advantages that no other invest
ment in the world Possesses.
There is another point which
wise and thoughtful people will
give due consideration to and
that is an investment in Liberty
Loan Bonds is an investment in
the defense and preservation OF
all their other property and all
they hold dear-the preservation
of their liberties. We would be
| in danger, if all our citizens re.
| fused to lend their money to the
government, of losing all that
we have-our property, our lib
critics, and our national honor.
1t has come to this, that we must
fight for these things, and to
wage war in this day and time
requires not only men and arms,
but great sums of money.
Subscribers to Liberty Loan
Bonds are charter members of a
society to maintain American
honor and to maintain democracy
here and in other parts of the
world. Honor and interest, pa
triotism and business judgment
all argue the wisdom of an in
vestment in Liberty Loan Bonds.

ARIZONA CHILDREN
Are Now Provided with a
Splendid Home with Rev.
E. D. Raley as Supt.

Ass ociation is an institution
located in Tucson, Arizona.
Its business is to find homes
for the homeless children of the
State and to provide an orphanage
home for those who, for various
reasons, are not adopted or may
not be for adoption.
For seventeen years the work
has been done by the California
Society, through Rev. A. H.
Gunnett, and the work has been
well done.
Two years ago the work was
started in this State and has
grown so rapidly. and efficiently
that it seemed best to the Cali
fornia Society to turn over all
it's work to the Arizona home
and retire from, the field. This
transaction rs in process now and
will be consummated by June 1st.
The Arizona Association has
applied for and has been promised
admission into the nationafDr-
ganization at the national con-
vention to be held in Pittsburg,
Pa. June Sc, 1917.
During the two years of work
by the Arizona home, one hun
dred and thirty children have
passed through the home.
Thirty-five children are now in
the home. Only three of them
are for adoption.
We have requests for room for
several other children at the pre-
sent moment, but we have no
room for them.
We rent two buildings and will
rent another as soon as funds
can be secured for rent and fur
nishings.
| 1t is our plan to build a modern
building adapted to the needs of
the home as soon as men of
means can be interested in this
needy work.
1t costs about $400 per month
to run the home at present. Most
Of this support comes from the
friends who have become inter-
ested in the work. The rest
comes from those who have sent
their children to the home and
pay $12.50 per month. In some
cases the county pays this and
in other cases the parent pays.
At present three women do the
work of the home. These women
are competent and well adjusted
to the work. The children are
well fed, clothed, sent to school,
when old enough, mothered,
cared for on the play ground and
given every possible aid in their
character development. No dis
tinction is made along racial or
religious lines, but most Of the
children handled are nominal
Protestants and all negro children
will be cared for outside the regu-
lar home.
The home is wide open at all
hours of the day for inspection
and visitors are welcome. 1t is
always best to call up some men,
ber of the board before visiting
the home. Some one will be glad
to accompany visitors to the
home.
Our immediate need is money
with which to buy food, pay rent,
pay help and other bills. Food,
clothing, bedding, furniture or
anything that can be used will
be appreciated. Lodges, clubs,
churches and individuals are in
vited to help this most worthy
and needy cause within our State.
