COMMUNITY CLUB
HELPS RED CROSS

TEMPE, June IA meeting of the
board of the Community club was
called for last Friday evening, at which
a majority of the directors were pres
ent. Owing to the oncoming warm
weather, during which time there will
be very little activity in the club, the
assistant secretary thought it useless
to continue his office at a salary, and
offered his resignation. which was duly
considered, and accepted. The matter
Of becoming actively engaged in the
Red Cross campaign which is being
launched nation wide was then brought
up by DR.. Matthews, and the matter
was discussed as to the best means of
perfecting an organization to raise the
amount allotted to this community. 1t
was decided to hold a mass meeting
next Sunday night at the city plaza,
but any further definite action was
postponed until after next Monday
night when the campaign will be
planned at meeting in Phoenix. Due
notice as to what steps Will be taken
locally will be given when the commit
tee has decided the same.
The committee On parks and play
grounds was not present to report on
the progress made toward building the
road to Point of Rocks. This PROPOSE
ton, if properly handled, and with the
assistance of the city council can be
accomplished with but very little ex-
pense by using the same method as
the gravel haulers are. i. e., by hauling
old hay and straw in the wagon tracks,
which viii work down into the sand
and in very short time make the road
passable for automobiles. 1t has also
been suggested to form a jetty or cur
rent in the pool, and thereby create a
deeper hole This could be done by the
aid of a number of sand bags being
used.

To wreck our commonweal will the day
When first they challenged free to the fray
And with the Briton dared the American.

Transform the earth, not patch up the old plan.

Clearing your minds of all estranging blindness

To strike for wife and child and home

They're swarmin like a hive of bees.

To help our friends or beat the Dutch.

A patriot call to all the land.

"The Victoria Cross"

A young British officer, superbly
impersonated by Lou Tellegen, has
entered upon a career of splendid
promise with every chance of promo
ton He also has won the hand of
sweet young woman who loves him for
his bravery and manliness. Although
clever and ambitious, he is unable to
resist the temptation that comes to one
in his position and through his excess
and escapades he not only forfeits his
rank in the army but likewise deprives
himself of the affection of his sweet
heart. He sinks lower and lower until
fortune again favors him. By a bril-
liant military achievement he redeems
his blghted career, is restored to his
rank, decorated with the Victoria Cross
and happily reunited to his fiancee
The cast in support of Lou-Tellegen
includes Cleo Ridgely, Sessue Kayak

favorites. Shown at the Goodwin air.

The Moral Effect of Money on the War

Some of the purposes for which the governments
issue of billions of dollars of bonds was author
lied in the war loan bill specifically defined in
the act itself while other reasons are only implied in
a general phrase. For instance "a ito meet ex-
penditures for the national security and Defense"
and (2) "for the purpose of assisting in the prosecu
ton of the war, to extend credit foreign govern
ments" The first of these reasons means the fur
nishing of funds which the government requires in
mobilizing its armed forces, purchasing clothing
equipment for them maintaining them in the field
either in camp home on the firing line abroad
The second means placing credits in this
country in favor of the allies in order that they may
continue to purchase here the supplies they must
have.
The other and underlined reasons for the great
bond issue grouped in the under the phrase
for other purposes" Ambiguous as this may be
in ordinary legislative measures it has in this act
one definite and and most significant meaning This
is its depressing effect upon the morale of the enemy
government both to the population at home and
as to the troops at the front The Importance of this
effect cannot be calculated in exact terms.
We can partially satisfy ourselves on this point
py recalling the effect on us when the news has
been received from time time that every loan
hoated by the European governments at home has
been largely and promptly over-subscribed That
fact has been heraded and accepted sign of the
unanimity of the people and their determination to
fight the conflict through. regardless of cost
measured in men and money. 1t is inevitable that
similar readiness and behavior part should
have a similar effect upon the belligerent powers;
and it is essential that we must not be less united
determined measured by the same standards
than they have been.
This was one of the reasons why our government
