from Eliot Wadsworth, acting chair man, dated at Washington May ', says:
 "The allies are now fighting our own battles. American soldiers may soon be in the trenches in Europe. The personnel of six of our base hospitals have already been called for the fore ign service"
 DR. T. P. MANNING-"In response to direct inquiry of Herman H. Har- les, the Red Cross representative in Paris, definite knowledge has been ob- tained that there is great need of hospital garments, hospital linen and surgical dressings in the hospitals in France.
 Accordingly chapters are urged to send all that are not neded for the initial equipment of our base hospital units as soon as possible"
 MRS. T. E. POLLOCK-"One mil lion members are wanted for the American National Red Cross. That IS allowing only one for every hun dred Americans. Join now, through your local chapter.
 But, whether you join or not, the work of the Red Cross must go on. For this, money is the first necessity.
 The Red Cross has built up and per fected great machine for doing its assigned duty in support of the armed forces of the United States. It is merely raedy to go ahead, it is al ready doing SO. You can help by fur nishing a share of the money that is needed. Americans have given huge sums, in mites and millions, for war relief work in Europe. The Red Cross expects a much greater outpouring for our own soldiers and sailors. It has always looked to the Ameri- can public for support of its work. It knows that public will see that funds are forthcoming to insure the adequ- acy of the Red Cross work in the United States.
 Contributions, large or small, may be made through any one of the more than $50 Red Cross Chapters, or by sending direct, by check or cash, to the American National Red Cross, Washington, D. c.
 If you wish your contribution de- voted to a specific purpose, designate such purpose and send the money to the Arizona Central Bank or the Citi- zens Bank"
 MRS. T. A. RIORDAN.-"If the American people are going to support their Red Cross in our national em- ergency, they must join it. In Japan one person in every twenty-two is member of the Japanese Red Cross. In Germany one person in every forty belongs to the German Red Cross. In Russia one out of every 142 persons is Red Cross member, but in the United States only one out of every 291 persons belongs to the Red Cross.

 With this experience back of me, | desire to state, with discriminating | that have never seen, or heard of a better weekly newspaper than the Coconino Sun. It has an ad- vanced president, civic vision. It is surcharged with the true patriotic | American spirit of '76. Clever, clean, pertinent and interesting in its news service. Geographically, it is with out a peer in Arizona Editorially it | advanced, timely and as able as the metropolitan press"
