WAKES TO FIND WIFE GONE.

Salvatore Zaccoli of 293 Chestnut
street Is mourning today. The reason
for, said grievings is the sudden del
parture of his once beloved spous0.l
Salvatore loved not wisely but tool
well, and unlike the swain who END
joyed marital bliss in an attic with an
oil stove Salvatore was happy; but
alas, his bright dreams came untrue
and on arising from his seance in tho
arms of Morpheus this morning he
found that his wife had departed with
one Charles Ross a boarder. To the
police to whom Salvatore related HIS
sad yarn it looks like a genuine ab-
ducation of Annie from the throne Of
Zaccoli.

LOCAL MINING COMPANY
WILL GIVE STATE
FULL CREDIT
c. & A. Mining Company In
Next Purchase of Liberty
Bonds Will Give Arizona
Credit for Full Amount.

In reply to Governor Campbelrs re-
quest that the mining companies OF
the state try as far as possible to give
Arizona credit for the full amount of
the second issue of liberty bonds, the
Calumet and Arizona Mining company
of this district has informed the gov
ernor that the next purchase of those
bonds by the company would be who'll
ly credited to Arizona. The reply to
Governor Campbell was sent by Gen
eral Manager Greenway after he had
conferred with the other officials OF
the company.
The imminence of call by the pres
ident and secretary of the treasury for
renewed subscriptions to the Red
Cross and liberty loan, respectively.
moved Governor Campbell, early in
August, to address letter to the gen.
eral managers of the larger mining
corporations throughout Arizona, in
which he set forth that many of these
companies have offices in New York
and other cities outside of Arizona.
The subscriptions to the two causes
mentioned, while very large in the ag-
gregate, were so distributed as to IA
vorably affect the pro rata fixed for
other states in which many of these
companies have central offices and
distributing headquarters, and Cover
nor Campbell foresaw that the second
call would occasion a serious drain up
on the resources of many small bust
ness organizations and individuals in
moderate circumstances, which wound
make it more difficult to collect the
pro rata of Arizona than in the case
of the first call.
If other companies of magnitude will
respond in equally generous terms. the
work incident upon the collection of
Arizona's shares will be largely mini
mixed.

in conjunction with all civilized ma
tions. Then it would not always be
possible to induce parliament to vote
large military appropriations
Economic Boycott.
Under conditions we propose, the
nation attempting to violate treaty
with the civilized world would be i'm
mediately threatened by general &C.
onomic, commercial and financial boy
colt. Only a mad government would
run such a risk.
Disarmament Follows.
1.-The suppression of CONSUMPTION
would lead automatically and without
any disturbance of public order to dis
armament, namely, to the end of mill
tarism, bringing beneficial conse-
quences for international peace and
also the restoration of economic and
financial conditions in the countries
exhausted by the present war.
Vatican Against Policy.
THE Holy See always has opposed
conscription. We always refused to
introduce it in our own army, when
the pope was a temporal sovereign.
England and the United States are
the most splendid examples of how
great powers can exist without stand
ing armies, but even these two coun-
tries. despite their colossal resources,
Cnce war was declared, required a
large army. If all states were in
the same condition during the time
necessary to prepare weapons such a
long period would elapse as to render
it possible for friendly Intervention
with view to avoiding conflict.
Advocates Referendum.
Finally. the whole world, in add.
tion to the suppression of obligatory
military service, should proclaim the
principle that no head ia state eth
er emperor or king, or the president
of a republic should have the right
to declare war without first consult
ing the people, preferably through a
referendum or Il l6\st through the
parliament
Cardinal Gasparri concluded:
Seeks Equitable Solution.
1T is now evident that in the pres
ent conflagration there is no question
of victor and vanquished, no question
CT absolute military successes which
no group of belligerents seems able
to secure owed the other, but the ques-
tion is to find an equitable solution of
satisfying the people of both sides
with view to avoiding graver oatas-

MRS. ". H. bROPHY IS
NAMED AS MEMBER
OF BIG ORGANIZATION
Prominent Local Woman Sc
lected for Important Posi-
ton In American Defense
Society. Work Is Outlined.

Mrs. W. II. Brophy of Bisbee has
been named by the committee at
Washington as a member of the
American Defense Society. 1t is a
high honor, and also entails much la.
Dor and responsibility. She will serve
Tor This section upon the Woman's
National committee of this great or
ganization, and will undertake exactly
the same work here that Mrs Robert
Lansing and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt
and scores of other able and patriotic
women are doing in their states
throughout the east and north.
Tie first task for this new member
of the Defense Society from Cochise
is outlined in the following statement
from the New York bureau:
THE first thing you can 90 Is 20
concern yourself with the desperate
activities of the German empire in
this country. Some of these activities
are political; others are attempts at
dynamiting our war plants, spreacng
German propagand through the medi-
um of peace talk or injecting our peo-
pie through deadly germs sold, or CIV
en- away, in the guise of medicine.
IF you are an American citizen, if
you believe in the ideal of life, liberty
and happiness for which our fore
fathers gave their lives in the ReYolu-
ton; if you are not al the front-then
it is high time that you aid in patri-
otic American work at home by en-
rolling in an organization like the
American Defense society, which is
made up of citizens who, without
thought of personal gain, are giving
their time, enthusiasm and money to
the cause of American liberty"
Big Patriotic Carnival
1t is proposed to hold during the
month of October a series of theater
parties, carnivals, fairs, garden par
ties, etc, throughout the country, and
in this behalf Mrs Brophy has been
asked TO serve with Mrs. J. w. Har-
riman, Mrs. \. L. Beekman, Mrs. The
odore Roosevelt IT., Mrs. Robert Ian
sing, Mrs. Charles S. Whitman and
the other members of the Woman's
a.ional committee to assist the
American Defense society in the i'm
portant work yet to be done.
Mrs. Brophy has made no definite
plans yet for an October carnival In
Bisbee, but she expects to undertake
this work if she can gain the Co
operation of the district. Mrs. Brophy
is already interested, as is well known,
in work for the French war orphans.
But she willingly assumes her new
patriotic duties, confident that the dis
trict will rally TO do with all its might
everything possible to aid the govern
ment to win the great war.

German Officer Speaks
The German officer mentioned in the
foregoing said, during a conversation,
that the Germans had been forced to
reduce greatly the number of their
light motor cars because it was vir-
tualy impossible to obtain tires. Ac-
cording to this officer, the Germans
have no rubber whatever for tires for
their lorries. He said he was much
impressed with the morale and fine
condition of the men behind the Brit
ish lines and the operations in general
behind the allied lines, He could not
comprehend why it was that the allies
should not make peace when Germany
was ready to give up all the territory
she had conquered.

officer. breads the thoughts of an

He recognized that the submarines
