PERSONAL INTERVIEWS
By Dubellu Dubellu Tee

First.-Everytime come to Flagstaff l am impressed with the seriousness of the people here regarding the war situation and at the tremendous sane enthusiasm shown by the people. Every time bunch of the boys leave Flagstaff every man, woman and child takes personal interest in en- couraging the. boys in the most help ful move they can make to assist the present crisis"
 There is no discussing the serious ness of the war situation. A stup- endous task lies before the United States. The American people should not be guilty of the folly of minimiz- ing the strength of the enemy or the stern possibilities of the dreadful con- flict. It will be prudent for this coun- try to prepare on colossal scale, for the worst that may eventuate." SERGEANT CHAS. NICHOLS, 1st Arizona Inf.-"Military glory is mak- ing swift exit from the world. This Nation is in war, not for glory, and not for the glorifcation of warfare. By the time this awful confagration is ended, mankind will be so sick of wars, there is no likelihood that ever again will there be apotheosizing of armed strife. Rob warfare of its glamour and its glory, and it soon will depart from the earth"
 DR. E. S. MILLER-"While the American people are very much in earnest in utilizing resources for pressing the war to eventual triumph, and while they are duly impressed with the gravity of the food situa- ton, there is marked absence of hys- teria. Swift and telling effort is in evidence. But what is being done is proceeding systematically and with levelness of heads"
 DAN HOGAN, Captain Reserve Guards.-"A military road up and down this border would be of tremen- dous strategic and defensive advant- age.
 w. L. TAYLOR, Elks 4th July Gel ebration-"The Fourth of July, this year, should be, and doubtless will be celebrated with depth of fervor ex-, ceiling any previous observance of the day"
 HUGH CAMPBELL, State Senator. -"Unanimity of action by Congress on the war budget and on other great matters pertaining to the war is par ticularly gratifying. The world is given the impressive spectacle of Nation united, firm and efficient in supporting the war on a scale with out parallel in human history"
 w. S. BORUM, Confection Den.- "The submarine is the child of Ameri- can inventive skill. It remains to be seen whether or not the parent can control and subdue the child"
 S. L. FINLEY, Mayor.-Residents of Flagstaff may render patriotic service by keeping their heads during this war crisis and by keeping ordi- nary activities in full swing. It is splendid commentary upon the wis dom and calmness of this people, to keep their surplus money deposited in banks here, so that business and industry and all channels of whole some effort which require capital may not be halted and stagnated. Keep affairs of civil life moving along as usual! This is useful to the nation. It is a distinct patriotic servce in it. self" .....
 w. D. DRAINE, Penney Store.-- "When the boys at Naco tackle the Vienna roll on the menu it is expected that they will annihilate it in short order, but it will be nothing to the massacre that will take place when the German fried potatoes are brought to the table,"
 T. E. POLLOCK, Banker.--"The need of the immediate hour is active preparation for supplying food. It is second only to the sterner duty of supplying men. Right now, however, the call is for production and conserv- ation."
 H. N. TRAGITT, Jr., Rector May this republic ever stand forth as the defender of liberty, and may the whole earth have new birth of freedom that government of, by and for the people shall not perish from the earth"
