 Brothers Kelaher of New York. kelly of Chicago. Phillipson and BrooKner or Tucson, Kramer, McDevitt and Hal loran of Phoenix. were there with the punch in short. snappy talks.
 Each of the speakers had a special message of interest and suggestion. An added feature was a letter from Broth CT T. P. Lynch, who is now at Camp Funston, describing army life and the enthusiasm of the Marcos de Niza members who are now in training
 Lecturer Cordan was warmly con- graduated upon his first evening in charge of the social session. He prom ised that the next will be the occasion for a quail mulligan to which members and prospective members will be in vited.
 During the winter Lecturer Cordan will give the members number or special features, and an effort will be made to increase the attendance and membership of the council.
 For the quail mulllgan a number or expert shots will be needed as well as automobiles to take out the hunters and bring In the game. Volunteers are requested to report to Lecturer Cordan. The mulligan will take place Tuesday evening, December II.

STANDARD O|L
 GIVES S6,000
 TOy WARFUND

The Standard Oil company has sub
 scribed s6 ,000 to the Y. NJ. c A. war welfare work fund in this state. This subscription brings the Phoenix dis trict subscription up to over $10,000. The district quota is s12 1000.
 J. E. Balsley, district salesmanager for Arizona, in giving this subscrip- tion, said that it was with the under standing that s1 ,000 was to be credited to each of the six districts in the state. The local Y. NJ. C. A. receives each day by telegraph from New York reports for the day. At the close of yesterday the reports, when tabulated in New York from every state in the union. | showed that they were short about $S,0o0,0 900 on the $35, 900. 900. The Dal- las district, of which Arizona is a part, is yet short S194,0 900
 A great manw encouraging reports are being received showing that the whole country is afiame witl patriotic cooperation and many states. cities and towns have already agreed to dou- ble their goals. In last nights tele- gram Prescott, Arizona, was reported to be at the head of the list in the United States per capita subscription. The telegrams to the local Y. are urs ing the necessity of a strong steady pull In order that we may succeed in reaching our goal and also state that the greater the fund the longer the interval between the present campaign and the next.
 Dr. J. C. Norton, chairman of the Phoenix district, was very much elated this morning over the fact that the Standard Oil company had so lib- orally donated to help out this great cause. When receiving this subscrip- tion J. E. Balsley ed that the Standard Oil company of California had ,5O0 men at the frolt at this time. Dr. Norton further states that Phoe- nix district has not yet reached it's goal of s12,000. Though the city of Phoenix has done very we'll. subscrip- . tions have been received from com , paratively few. Committees are not

The | russian Autocracy
Continued from yesterday
The Crushing of France.

|
The next step was the crushing of
France in 1901, the annexation
of Alsace-Lorraine and the imposi-
ton Of Prussiah leadership on Ger
many under the guise of a confeder-
alton. No wonder Bernhard wrote: ::
"The lessons of history confirm the
view that wars which have been de-
liberately provoked by farseeing
statesmen have had the happiest re-
suits" No wonder Prussia believes
that great army is the corner
stone Of her well-being asa nation
and that war is positive good if it
succeeds.
So Prussia has come to dominate
Germany. She now seeks to dom
mate the whole of central Europe
and part of Asia, and if she gains
what she wants in this war, she will
persistently lay her plans for the
next great aggressive move.
Prussia is Germany.
Prussia is Germany. She has the
three-fifths the area and five
eighths the population. The Ger
man Empire is a federation only in
name. Bismark's aim was to make
Prussia supreme in Germany and
Germany supreme in Europe. He
knew how to do the job. This is the
underlying fact: Prussia is Germany
and Prussia politically is feudal. In !
such "a system sovereignty is the
private right Of rulers. The prince
may deal with his people as pri- !
vate individuals do with their lands. !
Recently we had a clear, practical il /
lustration Of this in Germany. The
ruler Of Waldeck got into debt. He
could not raise the money to equip
his army. He therefore sold his
rights, his possessions and his peo-
pies to the King Of Prussia and
went to Italy to live on his income.
The people exist for the Government
and not the Government for the
people. Frederick William was not
joking when he wrote: Salvation
belongs to the Lord and everything
else is my affair.", or again, 1--WE
are lord and king and can do what
we will'. Neither was the present
Kaiser when he asserted: eve Hoh- :
take our crown from God
alone and to God alone are we re-
sponsible in the fulfillment Of our
duty" He was simply revealing the
true inwardness of his royal medic I
val mind and of Prussian politics.
speaking from the background of
centuries of feudal traditions. Prus-

ment and its members are elected by
universal suffrage. Is this not
conclusive evidence of popular par
ticipation and control?" Let US see.
In the first place, the electoral dis
tricts for the Reichstag have not
been changed since they were form
ed in 1871 when Germany was dom
inantly agricultural, rural. The
great increase in population has
been in the cities and these are the
homes of the liberals and radicals.
1t would have been dangerous to
change the districts. This would
have given the liberals and radicals
full representation. Today Berlin
should have at least 20 representa-
tlves, and elects only eight. The
number Of voters in agricultural
districts equal to those of Berlin
returned 48 members. In 1907
twenty seats were won by the con-
seryatives with an average vote of
10,500, and six by socialists with an
average vote of 1880. The aver
age vote for all socialist members
was $4,000 and for all conaerva-
tives 25.680. The significance of
this can readily be seen when it is
stated that out of 12,260,0OO votes
east in 1912, 1862, 900 were Nation
al Liberal, 100000 represented the
strength Of the Center party, 1,126,-
600 that of the conservative, and
5,750,000 that of the socialist and
radical parties
