II Is true that the one time honored
ma am" has gone the voyage. Yet
wnit--what takes Its place? Some
times nothing. Poor modern child!
Little Willie, you see, Ii taught that
"ma'am" Is decidedly bad form, don't
you know, mode Of address only
to be used by servants, indeed, and SO
MS youthship comes out with an abrupt
mo" or brief "Yes." to old ladies and
piaymates alike. The really correct
thing for Willie to be taught is that the
name or relationship of the person ad.
dressed must be given in place Of that
socially ostraclzed "ma'am." He must
say, Eyes. mother" or mo, father or
he has been taught not to use "sir')
or mo, Mr.. Smith or Miss Jones'" as
the case may be. The mentioning of
persons name WHEEL speaking to him
or her is always pleasant little mark
OF courtesy, even from one older person
to another, and Is charming to hear
from a child's lips.

SOON ON THEIR WAY
 BUT DO NOT KNOW
 WHERE, NOR NUMBER
Conflict in Where Arizona's Quota Is to Go and How Many Is to Be Sent First

Pay your money and take your choice. Whis is it? Ft. Riley or Ft. Sam Houston? Five per cent or thirty per cent?
 Ther seems to be a decided mix-up on the place of mobilization of Ari- zonas quota as well as whether it is 70 be five or thirty per cent on the 5tb of September. Phoenix and the spec ial disbursing officer, Col, Bren. seem to be in the dark as much as the Co ehise county board is. The following article which appeared in the Phoenix Gazette of Wednesday, shows the sIu- Iation as it is viewed there:
 owing to a conflict in the general order of the war department of August I5 and the order of the adjutant gen eral of the war department on August I7, a decision has not yet been reach ed as to where the 3,472 men of Ari- -3na will report for training.
 The general order instructed the adjutant generals office to consign me men from this state to Fort Riley, Aas. Two days later the adjutant gen erals order was received in which 1t vas stated that Fort Sam Houston, Texas, would be the training quarters for the Arizona men.
 Little attention was given this con flict until today. it being supposed that Che second order countermanded the first, W hen inquiries from both Fort Riley and Fort Sam Houston as to the number of men to be expected from Arizona were received.
 Upon receipt of these messages, Col. Fred s. Breen, special disbursing officer for Arizona, immediately wired Washington for instructions. Pending a decision by the war department, no action will be taken.
 "The entire state quota will be nee essary to fill the ranks of the First Ari- zona infantry to war strength, it was stated today.
 The national guard will soon leave Naco for California where it will start training for overseas service. The drafted men. however, will go to one of the mobilization camps above nam ed for training and will later be joined with present guardsmen.
 There are approximately only 75O men in the First Arizona infantry at this time il was announced"

NOW WHILE THE WAR IS ON.

(By Mrs. G. M. P., Bisbee.) How can any woman of our land Neglect to take a loyal stand And to her country lend a hand? Now while the war is on. Don't be stacker of any kind; Let's have no woman lag behind, Nor to her duty CT be blind; Now while the war is on. Perhaps a man you con not send; Then to some task your back should
 bend. And blow the furrow to the end Now while the war is on. f.. with a loved one you must part, Work alone can ease your aching
 heart. But don't delay to make the start Tor now the war is on. And should you not always know lust how to save, or speak, or sew, Remember the Red Cross or Loyalty
 League and go; Vow while the war is on.

SEPTEMBER AGAIN
By WALT MASONA

FNN~FNtN
 Once again September's smiling in a manner most beguiling, once again she brings refreshment to the jaded hu. nan jays, who have suffered thu
 a season that was hot beyond all req son, that was but a combination of a lot of sizzling days. As when one who's lost, forsaken. suffering for bed and bacon, sees a lighted cottage win dow that invites him to repose. so a delegate or member looks upon the nild September, which, with her re- freshing cOolness is a balm for all his woes. By the heat of summer smitten. by the flies and skeeters bitten. man is, at the end of August, near the limit )f his nerve; then September comes ierenely, after months that soaked him meaniy; he would load her down with tosies, he admires her every curve. She is like a drink of water to the wanderers who totter on lifes long and iusty highway, with their feet and bosoms sore; she is. like a slice of Jlumber to the toiling guys whose number is as hard of computation as the sands upon the shore. She's a sol ace and a guerdon to all skates who pear their burden, she's a balsam for .heir souls; every feature of her 9leases, autumn tints and frosty lreezes-let us boost the calm Septem- per while the knell of summer tolls.

The foies of the soldiers and workmens council resulted in the demorali zaion of the Prvates killed their officers and bolt ed before the enemy. Sweet revenge this and all officers and fall back before the foe will day the wall and Prussan drill sergeant will make them sigh with intense longing for the worst the old regime under their officers had to offer as May day of rejoicing and pleasure The most pul spectacle of the is that of the brave Russian officers trying to make headway against the onrushing Prusans and being shot in the back by their Officers have been killed by the hundred in this manner.

THE WAR

There is little in the dispatches the past few days comfort the friend of the allied The
 Italian offensive stopped when seemed to have at tained the momentum. The Russians still in flight. The French holding their positions at Verdun. The Canadians still trying crack that at Lens. The British hampered by the rain Tn Flanders.
 And yet, if there is nothing to comfort neither is there anything to discourage. little year ago the Italians being driven back by Austrian of- fensve While the Russian armies still falling back, yet they yet destroyed Russian are still determined to continue the war The French have just recaptured at a loss of 10000 ground that the Prussians 5OOOOO last to win The Canadians dominate Lens from points that the allies spent hundred thousand men in vain years ago to capture The British hold all and much of the ter rible Ypres salient that they driven from with pang losses in the second year of the war. Germany has lost 100000 of her best fighting this month so if not gained much ground the Teuton lines yet things could be and have been
 Indications point plainly to winter campaign and and still greater offensive spring with half million Americans taking part in it. Maybe We will break through them The allied military experte look for the Prussan line crumble and bend back August of next year. They figure that Germany must lose another million by atrition and short sharp oensives and terrible artillery fire and continuous trench warfare, before her lines, made almost mpregnable by machine guns and artillery, can be broken.
 Consider for moment how hard it is to break modern battle line. few days ago the Canadians took Hill Seventy had been shattered and its defensive de stroyed by artillery fire the Canadians held this crumbling ruin of hill against terrible at Jacks of the flower of the Prussan army. One entire division the famous guards destroyed front of this line and another division partly destroyed Not foot could the Germans gain from attacks in day and a of attacks since then against this line
 Consider that the prince. using picked troops, made 30 attacks against the Chemn des Danes, held by the French, and lost 5OOOO and regained a yard of this line that had been taken from him.
 And yet the allies have not failed in a single great offensive this year against the German lines They have gained their objectves every they failed to break through They have failed break the German morale. They have failed to make deep enough salient to force considerable withdrawal The French failed to take Laon real objective The British failed to take Lille and zebrugge their real objectives this year. They yet gain these goals is possible. But right it does not look probable as it did week ago.
 As for the Italians, only the old gods of ancient Rome know how many mountain barriers they have yet to batter down before they strike the Austrans blow These Austrans poor fighters against their cousins the Russ demons when they oppose the descendants of the Caesars.
