SUPPORT BY SCORES
 OF ARIzONA'S LEADING MEN.
 LIBERTY BOND DRIVE STARTS

pledge to me in the raising of these billions that our country calls for in her hour of need, such sacrifices as you probably never have dreamed of; that we who cannot go to the front shall make it so that there will be no ques- ton who shall win this war with Ger many"
 One hundred and fifty men seated in the banquet hall of the Women's club sprang to their feet and gave President R. B. von KleinSmid of the University of Arizona such an ovation last night as has not been witnessed in Phoenix in many day. It came at the con- clusion of the address of that eloquent speaker at the dinner that ushered in the campaign in Arizona to raise the states allotment in the second Liberty bond issue.
 It was an evening of eloquence of earnest appeals of strong men of loyal rallying to the call of country by many of the ablest and truest sons of Ari- zona that their state shall again prove worthy of the latest star in the blue field of he nations banner. Nor was it all eloquence, for a real start was made in the work of securing the states allotment in Liberty Bond subscrip tions.
 No more eloquent talk, ringing with true Americanism, has been heard in Phoenix than that delivered last night at the Woman's club by Dr. von Klein i, Smid. The walls of the auditorium echoed back his denunciation of the man who at this time, when his country | needed himself or his money, failed to | give until he could give no more. | He talked on the subject The IT, | dividual Responsibility of the Liberty Loan"
 T don't want anyone else to do my | job,' said Dr. von KleinSmid, nor do you, if by any ways or means we can contribute to the wiAn;ng of this war. 1 The slowness of the American people 1 to realize that we are at war with i Germany may be explained in that it IS said to take six months for the people of a republic to realize that they have an individual responsibility in the pres ervation of that republic. Nor are the 1 people of a republic accustomed to being told what to do. Ordinarily, all they need to be told is what is needed and they rise to the occasion and sec that it is performed.
 I've of the Southwest nave been slow to realize the part we must play in thl' great war, but during the last few | weeks we are beginning to realize tho claims for our individual service. | has been generally understood by tn | nations abroad that the United State: is slow to respond. It must have beer a surprise 70 the Germans on June to hear that we had marched ten mil lion strong and registered for militar, service. It was said that it couldn't b' done But it was done. Germany sait that the United States would not re spond to the first loan. But when th' news went abroad that 1t had been sub scribed and half as much again, it mus have been a severe mental jolt Tn time has come to do it again. It seem that we glory in shocking the Germai sensibilities.'
 Dr. von KleinSmid drew picture 0 the marching of the sturdy sons O America to war and compared it witt those who stay at home and who cal only subscribe to Liberty Bonds.

 length.
 "The amount of money asked for i

 only 10 per cent of what we have 0

 this buying of Liberty bonds as sac

 can make
 The big copper companies that mah
 their money in Arizona have promise
 to subscribe in large amounts to the seC
