BIC RALLY MONDAY WILL SHOW DUTY OF
 AMERICANS M WAR

Dr. R. B. von KleinSmid chairman servation and distribution of food sup plies of the Arizona Council of De- fense, will speak at the high school auditorium on Monday evening, June "The Duty of America in the War With Germany"
 This address by Dr. von KleinSmid in Phoenix is to be one of series he is making during a tour of the state in behalf of food conservation and mili-
 tary service as a part of the work of the Arizona Council of Defense. There have been large attendances wherever he has spoken. His message is one of the most important before the people of Arizona today-the matter of saving the waste of foodstuffs, and the reple-
 tion of the First Arizona regiment to it's full war quota.
 Dr. von KleinSmid spoke at Casa Grande last night, and the Seventh Day Adventists holding a camp meeting there gave their large tent for the meeting. Members of the Council of Defense in the cities and towns in which pr. von KleinSmid appears have charge of the meetings.
 The meeting at Yuma will be held tonight. On Monday Dr. von Klein
 Smd will speak at a meeting in Phoe- nix and on Tuesday evening he will be at Prescott. At the latter city recep- tion will be rendered him at the Yav- apai club, and the meeting which is to
 be held at the opera house is expected
 Co be one of the largest held in that city. At Stafford and Thatcher large numbers heard Dr. von KleinSmid, and at Bisbee and Douglas the large at tendance was evidence of the intense interest of the people in the crisis
 which cOnfronts our country.
 The lecture in Phoenix on Monday evening by Dr. von KleinSmid should draw a crowded house because of the great importance to everyone of the subjects which will be discussed and the entertaining and instructive ability of Dr. von KleinSmid.
 In connection with the food conser- vation campaign undertaken by Dr. von KleinSmid on this tour he has in every town visited given a portion of his address to enlightening the people of Arizona as to the status of the First Arizona infantry and the need of it's
 being at once raised to the full war quota.
 This is the only opportunity, Dr. von
 KleinSmid has explained, for the state of Arizona to be represented, in the
 big army to be raised, by an organiZa- tion bearing its name. Unless the reg iment is repleted to full war strength,
 the portion now composing it will be absorbed in the new army and it's iden- tity lost. The regiment needs 1,20e | men, and in every town visited by the speaker the citizens have been urged to encourage enlistment in that regiment before the time expires.
 Dr. von KleinSmid has recently re-
 turned from Washington where he be- came thoroughly familiar with the needs of the government in the present crisis and the plans undertaken in the agricultural department which are be- ing taken up by the various sub com mittees, and it is this message he will bring to the people of Phoenix on Mon day night.
 For the purpose of making arrange ments for the meeting in Phoenix on Monday to be addressed by Dr. von kleinSmid, there will be meeting of the Arizona Council of Defense at the state house this morning at g o'clock. All members in the city are urged to attend.
