Letter From MIR. Herndon.

The Journal finds pleasure
in publishing this week a letter
of "reminiscences from the
founder of the paper in the
person of Mr.. George P. Hern-
don, of Washington City. Mr..
Herndon yields a facile pen,
as he did more than forty years
ago while directing the Journal
which was then in its swadd-
ling clothes, and his letter will
be read with pleasure by many
of his old friends who remain
in the county. We hope that
he may favor US again with his
recollections of the days when
he was a citizen of Tupelo, and
our columns are open to him
for any contributions he may
make.

Julliott has acted in an advisory ca pacity 10 the French government and has had every opportunity of ob- serving all types of aircraft and their success.
 Julliott in 1915 built his first dir ieiblc for the British government and flew from Paris to the aviation field at Aldershot. This was one of the crowning events of his life for it set tied for all time that the non-rigid dirigible was destined to become one of the most important factors in the 10th century warfare. Since that time in the present war, this point has been more conclusively proven by the AL lied governments in their most sue cessful use of this type of balloon for offensive as well as defensive pur- poses.
 Among the most notable airships that Julliott has built are the Le- baudy, La Patrlc, La RepuDhque, ana many others in addition to a number for England and Russia. He had re- ceived many honors, but it is sufficient to mention that he is Chevalier in the Legion of Honor.
 The shape of the envelope of the Rliu1D dirigible somewhat resembles that of a cigar Suspended from the will be a rigidly built car resembling in design an aeroplane, but spacious enough to carry pilot, observer and l00-horse power gaso- line motor of the latest improved type. The dirigibles will be able to reach an altitude of 7,500 feet with safety. They can maintain speed oi 45 miles an hour for l6 hours.

FRENCH EXPERT HERE
 TO BUILD DIRIGIBLES
CFrom Sundays Daily.)

Henri Julliott, the distinguished French engineer and builder of dir igibles has arrived in this country and will give the United States govern ment the benefit of his long experi- ence in aeronautics. He comes to take complete charge of the construc- ton of the huge Blimp type of dir igibles which are being built for the government by the Goodrich Rubber Company at Akron. He has accepted the commission as chief of the Good rich aeronautical division.
 Unusual importance is attached to Nj. Julliott's presence in the United States at this time, for he brings with him the greatest fund of dirigiblc balloon knowledge that is available to any government. Since the be- ginning of the war, Mir. Julliott has acquired the title of the "Super-Zep- pelin" of France for his experience in dirigible building predates that of  the late Zeppelin of Germany by many years.
 His aeronautical experience dates back almost forty years, when he was first associated with Messrs. Lebaudy Freres in their immense sugar re- fneries, as director of technique. In this capacity, in the early 70's he built the famous Lebaudy dirigible for his employers who were then in terested in ballooning as a sport. The success of the first Lebaudy type air ship encouraged Julliott so much that he devoted large portion of his time to the further development of dir igibles.
 Tn 1899 he began building this type of aircraft for military purposes, but was not until 1902 that he felt he had made the non-rigid dirigible practical for military use.

COL. ROOSEVELT TO
 GET MEN FROM HERE
(From Sundays Daily)

The following from the Arizona Re publican is published here at the re- quest of R. P Holiday, who has been named information man for the Roosevelt division in this part of the State. Application blanks for mem bers have been sent for:
 Believing that Colonel Roosevelt, is going to secure permission from the United States government to or ganizc a division, and that the call will come within short time, Major Frederick Russell Burnham, and w. H. Lightfoot, who have been in the State for the past week laying the foundation for a desert cavalry regi- mcnt, are going ahead with their plans and enrolling men for the or ganization.
 Major Burnham. who was chief oi scouts under Lord Roberts in the Boer war, has been in Bisbee confer ring with John (. Greenway, and in Tucson where he met Epes Randolph. He is enlisting the services of sew eral of the biggest men in the State in the enterprise and expects to en- roll large number of Arizonans who, are used to riding and roughing it.
 MT. Lightfoot, who has practically finished raising company in Blythe, Cal, made up of cowboys from the Colorado river country. left for that place last night to finish his arrange ments.
 While in Phoenix, he covered con siderable ground and personally sc- lectcd about So men who will join his company when the call comes.
 "Mr. Lightfoot has wide acquaint- ance among the cattle men of the State and many of them arc anxious to ioin his command. He will prob ably return here within the next two weeks or so. In the meantime he has left enrolment blanks with Robert P. Holiday of The Arizona Republican, who will furnish information to all those who desire to enroll.
 "Enrollment with the Roosevelt di- vision is not an enlistment. It does not mean that a man will have to go when the call comes, but merely sig nifes his desire and intention to go if he is called.
 "Only men who are good horsemen, and accustomed to a life in the open are desired. In case the necessary permission is given Colonel Roosc- velt's plans have all been made for the mobilization of the various units. Six days notice will be given each man. If he does not report at the place designated within that period, his name will be dropped from the rolls. It is thought that the Arizona contingent will mobilize at Blythe"

CAPTAIN NELSON HERE ID SWELL
 N. t. A. RANKS
MESA PHYSICIAN DROPS LUCRATIVE PR TICE WHEI CALLED BY GOV.
 CAMPBELL; IS ONE OF SQUAD OF RECRUITERS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

As one of the flying squadron of national guard recruiting officers, Captain ]. B. Nelson Of Mesa, of the medical staff of the Arizona troops, arrived in Prescott late Sunday night, and yesterday opened mp a recruiting office in the Head Hotel lobby. He spent yesterday afternoon in confer cnce with the military committee, which has in charge the work of the Prescott Home Guards.
 That the national guard is now a Federal organization and that radical changes have been made since the declaration of war against Germany, IS the statement of Captain Nelson. The organization is more closely knit to the Federal military than ever be- fore. In taking the oath, the recruit now swears allegiance to tine Nation al Guard of the United States and inc State of Arizona" His term of en- listment at this time and under exist ing conditions is for the period of the war. His status under the State law as regards reserve men on the expira- ton of their Federal terms or their \. c. A. enlistments, is not yet ex- plained.
 About HOO men arc needed to fiji the l2 companies of the State troops. Now more than before, the term First Arizona Infantry" is applicable to the guard. Before anyone can en- list he must pass two physical cX- aminations. All recruits must be un- married men between the ages of IS and 35
 Captain Nelson will be in Prescott, Jerome, Clarkdalc and the immediate vicinity for several days. Here, his headquarters will be at the Head hotel, where free office room has been given by Manager William Paar. Paar also had the flags put mp and the signs painted for the recruiting office.
 Nelson is prominent physician Of Mesa He was called upon by Gov crnor Campbell last Saturday to go into active work assisting the recruit ing department to bring the Arizona regiment up to war strength, which is 1S0 men to the company. The regiment is now but half filled. Ncl- son left a lucrative practice to engage in this work. He was not in active service on the border, as his company being commanded by Captain Joseph Noble, is now guarding the Roosevelt dam. Nelson was left unassigned when Dr. Yount of this city was appointed surgeon-major of the regiment.
 The captain anticipates some diff culty in gaining recruits hercabout, but hopes to make a good showing. He finds that the young men of eligible age and physique of this coun- ty do not care about joining the ranks to help fill out skeleton companies, but really prefer forming Q company or two of their own. Under the new Federal regulations it will be impos- sible to form new companies and elect officers as under the old State rules. It is possible, however, in case it is found impossible to secure these willing volunteers for other com panies, to form a company or two from this county and have officers oi experience and training appointed from the Federal service to lead them
