IN THE TRENCHES.

Every one knows about the in the trenches in France and their heroic deeds with the of the world upon them and the voices of the worlds praise in their ears But what about the men in the trenches in Bisbee?
 What about the men who brave the ridcue and taunts and gibes eers and threats of malicious strike leaders and mislead strikers and daily and nightly the places in the mines and dig and delve to deliver copper to their brothers in France the firing line?
 What about the men who pass the picket lines on the streets and at the mouth of the mines with squared shoulders and the light of steady resolve shining unquenchable in their eyes?
 It takes as much if not more courage to face rdi- cule than it does to face shot and shell.
 The picket line in a strike is pitiless and as hostile as picket line in No Mans Land in Flanders. These Bisbee miners who ignored the strike call of enemies of their country and their play ing their part in the great world just the same soldiers under General Pershing who have just landed in and who will take their places in the trenches alongside the dauntless English Tom mics and the Scots and the indomitable Irish men and the grim French Poilu. For the soldier in trenches must have copper for his and shells and the soldier in the mines must furnish them.
 These men in the trenches at Bisbee fighting for the happiness prosperity of their homes and for the of their state against foe of their country just the same the soldiers in the French trenches are fighting against the Prussian foes. For the I w " and their tools and agents and dupes are striking against the and safety of our governments soldiers when they strike in the great copper mines that must be depended upon to furnish guns and shells for our armies and the armies of our allies.
 And these miners-these soldiers in the trenches at Bisbee-have none of the pomp and glory of war to urge them on They are not fighting in the spot light glare on the worlds brilliant stage. No stirring buge strains quicken their tread No Victoria cross or Legion of Honor await them.
 But they know in their hearts they are doing the right thing They know they doing their duty by their families their employers and their town. They know they doing the patriotic thing in the time of their countrys crisis. They know they are standing for the best interests of their country Good soldiers those Bisbee miners who are sticking to their posts in the of all that the enemies of their town and country do to drive them away.
 And what about the men of Bisbee who have de
 
 serted the trenches?
 What about the miners who at heart oppose this vicious. wicked. senseless, unpatriotic strike?
 What about the men who afraid to take heir stand in the trenches of the gbes and jeers of a few out of town troublemakers and number of their own misguided brethren? Is there anything more cowardly and reprehensibe than deseraton in the fact of the enemy? The man who carries water on both shoulders spills his buckets. The fair weather man who shirks his duty when he knows his duty is not worthy of his town
 There is a trench line across our Arizona mount aims and it girts our wonderful city it's terri bIe shadow falls upon the towns in France. MANS PART IN THESE MoMENToUS TIMES IS TO EN TER THESE TRENCHES AND STAND GUARD THERE AND TO DO HIS DUTY.
 Good men and true in those trenches today The coward shirks he has always shirked ever! time the call has come for real men. And when the storm has passed the coward crouches low, strip ned bv his own hands of his manhood And th' men who stand shoulder to shoulder for what the, knew is the right these men. when the totals for ant .gainst their country are summed up shall stand
 ord and unafraid and answer the honor roll call o Public opinion
 It is great principle that has called the million
