Victims of the conquering and

themselves outcasts-helpless, alone.
They come from all classes. That

it has been. is exceeded by mental
agony that increases with the reall-

REMAIN F0R THE
 FOUR-M|NUTE MEN

Phoenix, Arizona, Dec. 2S.-The in troduction of the Four Minute Men to the audiences of Arizona possibly has brought new sense of true patriotism to people who before thought them selves patriotic. At least, they rose the Star-Spangled Banner in melo- dy in which the cheers went to Dix ie. Some of them got on their feet when America was played-possibly most of them did-and The Red, White and Blue was saiuted at the last State Fair by the rising of the grandstand, enmasse. They always clapped when the management threw on the screen a vividly colored repre- sentation of the flag. Thus far, all is well-though the War Department in- sists that no honors should be paid the Star Spangled Banner if played otherwise than on a ceremonial occas- ion and in it's entirety. America should be honored only if the tune for the time stands for the British National Anthem.
 Now, the next step lies with the audiences that hurriedly start for the door in the intermission, just when the Four Minute speaker steps on the movie theatre stage. A lot of devot- ed and able men are offering their time and energy nightly all over Ari- zona that accurate and official infor- people concerning a war in which slavery for their nation is threatened behind the buwark of the lives of

builders, carpenters, caulkers, drill CTS, frame benders, heavy timbermen, platers, plater's helpers, pile drivers, quarymen, riggers, rivetters and their mates, seamen, shipwights, shipyard machinists and stevedores.
 This corps offers special opening for service to men between the ages of Il and 56, and to younger men who are highly skilled or medically unfit for general service, but who are fit to carry on their trade occupations They are being enlisted for the dur ation of the war, provided they are needed that long, and their transpor- tation is paid to the point of enlist ment. Applicants are required pre- ferably to produce references certi- flying that they are efficient in their trades.
 These working soldiers rank from privates to sergeants; a private re- ceiving 76 cents per day, a lance cor poral S4 cents, a second corporal S1, corporal $1 .0S and a sergeant $1. 2S and separation allowances are paid to dependents. The Canadian Patri- otic Fund also gives an allowance to dependents residing in Canada.
 The fact that there is plenty of thrill and adventure in store for these working soldiers was demonstrated re gently when United States engineers caught in at attack near Cambrai, picked up British rifles and fought the Germans.

A deplorable accident happened on Wednesday morning when the Morley Roberts, brakeman on the Morenci Southern Switch engine had his foot mashed when the engine ran over a deraHer. When the engine crew ran into the yard for their mornings work Roberts was riding on the head end. In some manner the engine passed over the derail throwing it off the track and causing Roberts to lose his footing on the running board. In the mix up his foot was caught be- tween the rail and the running board and mashed. It was necessary to jack up the front part of the engine to extricate his foot. Roberts kept his nerve admirably during the or deal and was moved as quickly as possible to the D. c. hospital. An operation on the foot was necessary and he will lose only part of it. In spite of the shock, Roberts is getting along nicely.

Yet the average Four-Minute Man is getting accustomed to speaking to the backs of retiring hosts that have sat with interest through ''Vampiring Vixen'' or 'The Horrors of Helen" till the reel flicker has warned them of the inevitable end. Some audiences are doing better and remain for the four minutes to receive the patriotic mes- sage brought. So may it be with them all.

ID CHANCE FUEL
 ADMINISTRATION

PHOENIX, Dec. 2S.-Fuel Admin istrator Will l.. Clark, owing to press of personal business that takes him else, has been compelled to resign his post and already has left Phoenix for Los Angeles, where he expects to make a lengthy stay. In his place has been appointed Charles M. Shan non, a pioneer mining man, lately of Florence, where he recently leased his large ranch to Californians who will grow cotton. MT. Clark has worked hard to secure better coal, more of it and at cheaper price for distribution in Arizona. He had especial fitness for the position of administrator through years spent as manager of the United Verde mine at Jerome, an enterprise that consumed as much coal as an ordinary city.
 MT. Shannon has been a resident of Arizona since 1872, when he went from western Missouri to join his un- cle, Robert Metcalfe, discoverer of the Metcalf and Shannon mines. He has taken office at once, following re- ceipt of a telegram from U. S. Fuel Administrator Garfield asking his ac- ceptance and stating: You are al- ready generally familiar with the duties of this office and it will be service to our country and particu- larly to the people of your State, as well as favor to me if you will undertake this important work"
 To MT. Clark, the following tele- gram was sent by MT. Garfield: With great reluctance I am compell- ed, on account of circumstances stat ed in your letter, to accept your resig- nation. Please accept my thanks for your unselfish and patriotic service" :"
 While the position is one of large | importance, it is understood to have i financial en1olument of only s1 year. MT. Shannon has no plans, other than ' to carry out the policies established | by his predecessor.
