OVER ONE HUNDRED LADIES
 JOIN RED CROSS SOCIETY

Your work and my work seemed to be the sentiment, displayed last Mon- day afternoon when the ladies of Flagstaff met to consider the work of the Red Cross. The illness of the chairman, Mrs. Griffin, prevented her taking charge of the meeting. Mrs F. W. Sisson called the meeting to order and stated its purpose-that of electing officers for a permanent or ganization. Mrs. Noble having been made secretary pro tenn, nominations for president closed with the name of Mrs. T. E. Pollock who was unam- iously elected.

OUR PLAIN DUTY

While the Sun as publication is trying to answer "the country's call" by printing as much of the "calls' that are made by the government de- partments telling how and why to en- list and to produce all the country can produce, it is utterly impossible for us to handle it all--it would fill any of the big Sunday editions, yet at the same time we desire to give the peo- pie such information as will help them help the government of the United States at the present time.
 There are no indications of our peo- pie starving to death, but in our well fed condition, it is up to us to put forth every effort to see that the whole world has sufficient food.
 We have the men, and the land. The name of America will be blessed for all time to come in Europe, Germany moulded, if the people respond to the call now.
 If we fail to respond to the call America will be pointed out as the greatest Stacker" of the age-those who could would not.
The Coconino sun., 1917-04-27

There is no need of the great effort now being made all over the country for economy, soaring the people into fits. While there is no question as to the necessity of arousing the people of the country to put forth every effort to raise food stuffs of ev- cry character, there is no need of the foolish attempting to store great quantities more than they can use. thus creating worse condition. There will be plenty of food in America if it is used anywhere in reason, but it is up to the people to raise every possible article of food and make an extra ef- fort along that line to help the starv- ing of Europe and the distress that will come after the war. Those who are able to raise enough for their own use, those who have not done so here tofore, will help in the great sum total of 8 world emergency.
 Steadying down to a helpful, thoughtful basis is what is needed in America today.
 Just remember that money can not buy things that do not exist; make things exist while you have the op- portunity and not deprive those who are unable to help themselves.

SPEAKING NEW BOOKS

Monday evening the members of the Shakespeare Club met with Mrs. Pollock. The roll call brought out various new and interesting books the club had read and later the study of the opera Aida" was taken up in a most entertaining manner by the leader, Mrs. Pollock. Enhancing the study of it were the very lovely rec ords on the Victrola. The study will be continued next week. At the close of the meeting the attractive year book for the ensuing club year-dis- playing on their cover, a miniature American fiag-were distributed and commented on most favorably.

THE PEOPLE WILL GOVERN

Neither the Sun or its editor de- sires or craves any of the "honors" that are being passed so lavishly by state and nation, but are rather con- strained to believe with Congressman Hayden "that so many patriots are applying for commissions that doubt if there will be war enough to go around" This was merely a "P. &" and not in response to a reques. for being assigned some war salary, but is evidence that the condition pre- vails to some great extent at the present time among that element of patriots"
 The editor of The Sun is not hust- ling political influence for a job any, where along the line.
 For the privilege of living in the United States as private citizen all we had to offer belonged to the coun- try. ,..
 What Flagstaff needs to offer, is not money, not officers, not politicians, but MEN.
 The Sun and its force have given its support, in money and in help for the cause.
 It is not up to the "sore head" or the pin head in office to make the average citizen feel like dumping his government; it is up to the average citizen to convince the world that they are bigger and better than all com bined in advancing the cause.
 Do your "bit"-it is the people not the puppets" that are trying to make this world worth living in.

Washington, April 20.-When the House convenes on Monday next to begin consideration of the military bill there will be presented strange, unprecedented and unenviable spec tacle. In this spectacle will be re- vealed a Republican, Representative Julius Kahn of California, as the leading spokesman and champion in debate of this Democratic administra- tion's desperately desired plan for organizing new army in the very midst of war In fact, there will be two bills-the majority bill, which was reported out of the military af- fairs committee by vote Of F to &, and a minority bill embodying the selective draft plan as approved and advocated by President Wilson and the military staff.
 This bill will be similar to the bill favorably reported by the Senate militay affairs committee, of which Senator Chamberlain of Oregon is chairman, and who will lead the fight

If this amendment is voted down the junior Tennessee senator has declared that he will support the administration bill.
 Despite the most earnest pleas and importunities of President Wilson, many members of his own party. es- pecially in the House, where hereto fore support of his war policies has been unwavering, will fight him un- der the flag of obstinate opposition These Democrats-most of whom are from the south-are against the selec tive draft, or conscription system, and favor try-out of volunteerism. On the other hand, most of the Repubi- cans will give the president loyal and steadfast support on the high ground that in this hour of national peril the constitutional leadership of the chief executive should be unhampered ard unembarrassed.

AMERICAS DAY iS
 OBSERVED IN LONDON
United States Welcomed as Ally at St. Paufs Cathedral-King and Queen and Entente Dip lOmatS Were Present.

London, April 20-The British peo- pie and Americans in this country celebrated America's partnership in the world war by religious service today in St. Paul's Cathedral, at tended by the official heads of the nation and a great congregation which included hundreds of Ameri- cans and many prominent British men and women.
 There was a great display of Amer can flags in London and all other English towns, and popular demon stration by the crowds which sur rounded the cathedral. The Stars and Stripes foated from the highest tower of the Parliament building at Westminster-the first time a for eign flag was ever displayed on that eminence-and flew above all the government buildings in the British capital.
 The service in the historical ca thedral, where the most momentous
  occasions of national rejoicing and mourning have been solemnized, was unprecedented in cOmmemoraton of an act and decision of another nation. Overhead, in the dim arches, hung the dust weighted and battle torn flags of British regiments, some of which had been carried in the Ameri- can war of the revolution, while among the tombs and memorials of famous soldiers ranged about the walls were the names of those who fought against the colonies in that war
 The cathedral seats nearly 4,000 people and was filled to it's further most recesses. All seats were occu- pied when King George and Queen Mary entered, followed by the mayors and aldermen of the 26 boroughs of i London, wearing their scarlet robes of office.
