 can Liner With Army Men.

An Atlantic Port, Dec. 25.-That the crew of a German Submarine. made prisoner after their vessel had been destroyed, knew when large steam ship carrying army officers had left the United States and the submarine lay in wait to sink her, was the state ment of several enlisted men of the American navy who were passengers on British liner which arrived here today. Accodring to the Geramn prisoners, who were taken to Eng land, they "knew all about the de parture of the steamship" but the submarine had failed to sink her be- cause of the vigilance Of her convoy.

RUSSIANS MURDER
 AMERICAN PRISONER

With the American Army in France, Dec. 25.-German atrocities against American soldiers are officially re- ported. An American sentry has been found with his throat cut. and 1t is officially declared che must have been so killed after capture"
 Information concerning German savagery has reached the troops in a series of bulletins read them by the unit commanders and posted on bulle. tin boards. Here is what they heard ::
 "After a raid by the Germans on trenches held by American troops a lone sentry of infantry was found with his throat cut from ear to ear. He had been surprised by an overwhelming force of Germans and must have been so killed after cap ture.
 Such brutality is familiar to old soldiers who served against savages in the Philippines campaign"
 Another bulletin tells the men how the Germans, in occupying sections of France and Belgium, are turning women and children out of their homes into the snow, the buildings being then given over to soldiers, horses and material

A GERMAN VICTORY:
 WHAT TT WOULD MEAN
(By Theodore Marburg. )

In PrusSia'S cheap and profitable wars of the past lies the explanation of the present murderOus assault on the peace of the world. Ih letting Germany see that Prussianism can also bring overwhelming disaster is to be found the only. remedy. The Germans have been parading their twill to victory" They forget that, while human will has done much to shape human history, in order to suc- ceed in a great world-cause it must lie close beside the will of God. The struggle is clear-cut fight between wrong in it's most hideous and univer- sal forms and right most unquestioned. Success for the German cause would mean the triumph of conscious pol icy of bad faith-disregard of solemn obligations to neutraiized state, of the rules of war formally subscribed to, and of the human standards which men deemed so we'll established that it was thought unnecessary to set up any international agreements to safe guard them. It would mean fasten- ing upon mankind, in future wars, terrorism and the barbarous practices of the earliest times, punishing mer- cilessly the noncombatant and so de- feating the healthy tendency to con- fine the conflict to the armed forces of the ligerents-Geliberate mur- der of helpless thousands to secure minor military advantage. To stop short of throwing the Germans back out of conquered territory would mean German triumph, the source of untold future disaster It would rem der impossible for years to come an effective league of nations to discour- age future wars. Armaments would know no limit and the United States would be compelled to enter the race in order to defend not only the Mon roe Doctrine. but the very existence Of the nation L

Preserving Flowers.

A method of preserving the natu- ral cOlors of flowers consists in dust ing salicyiic acid on the plants as they lie in the press and removing it with a brush when the flowers are quite dry. Red colors ill particular are we'll preserved by this agent. Another meth. cd of applying the same preservative Is to use solution of one part of salicylic in fourteen of alcohol by means of blotting-paper or cotton. wool soaked in it and placed above and below the f1Owers..

maps of roads, showing the elevations, the rough places and the good places, so that a person will know, among other things, just how large a truck he will need to do business on these roads"
 This information was obtained ap- parently not only for prospective buy CTS but for the general public. Me Arthur Brothers are doing business in Arizona and therefore, to them, as explained, any information about Ari- zona is bound to return good to them. The engineer, the visitor was informed, was at that time away on a surveying and mapping journey, obtaining in formation about roads that will be of service to the travelling public gen. eraliy.'
 Building Is Inviting
 McArthur Brothers new building, situated in the central part of Phoenix has something about it that 1nvIJc- the public to enter. The building looms out on South Central avenue as a sort of beacon and attracts attention. It is roomy and clean. There are au- tomobiles everywhere-the Packard, the Nash and the Dodge Brothers be- ing the new cars handled-but the DuiiuluS IS SO lIldl tile Iildly CdI ; are not bundled together They ap- pear more like ornaments. Business lots of it is being done-but in such a quiet way that there is scarcely q sound. There are repair shops, sales rooms, numerous offices and a club room. It is all new and harmonious and organized" It is such a complete unit that the visitor gains a favorable impression at once.
 The club referred to might have something to do with this organization It is made up of employees. It is a large room in the basement with rugs on the floor, piano and plenty of easy chairs and places to rest. Here the visitor was told the employees meet on occasions to listen to lectures on vari- ous subjects and talks on salesman ship. Here is where the establishment meets socially and gets better ac- quainted with itself, learns" organI- zation and grows stronger and more efficient

USE ALREADY FOUND
 FUR SEIZED VESSELS
Republican A.P. Leased Wire1


 MANILA, Oct, 4-Seven German vessels seized in the Philippines at the outhreak of the war, have now been detailed to inter island service by the United States government.
 These vessels are to be used in re- lieving the shipping famine in the is lands. With increased prosperity due to war demands for Philippine pro- ducts and the withdrawal of several inter- island vessels for more profitable foreign runs. the shipping situation in the Philippines in the past two years has gradually grown critical. The use of the German steamers will make possible the movement of thousands of tons of products now tied up.
 It will not, however, solve the export problems of local producers. Ships calling at Manila and other Philippine ports are scarce, cargo space is diff cult to obtain while freight rates are sky high. The better grades of sugar, tobacco, cigars, hemp. copra and em- broidery, which are commanding high prices in the United States, can pay these rates but other products suffer In Iloilo there is still stored S0000 tons of low grade sugar worth perhaps three cents a pound on the American market. It will not be accepted as freight for less than that figure as sugar rates to New York are about $65 ton. Unless the government in- tervenes an economic catastrophe is i feared in the southern sugar districts especially as the new crop will be com ing in within two months and storage space must be found for it.

this, apparently at least nobody around McArthur Brothers will admit it. It was organization.
 Done for Arizona
 Another surprise to the visitor was McArthur Brothers advertising and publicity department. There slre a number of persons working iii and out of this department all busy at some angle of publicity, and letters and Oth- CT documents are passing every day from this department to all parts of the United States, not alone tell of McArthur Brothers and the cars they sell, but rather to tell the country something about Arizona. To illus trate this week the moving spirit of the advertising department received a letter from a New York daily asking for film or photograph published in an automobile trade journal The photograph was of an interesting, pie turesque point on the Apache trail, and the New York paper wanted it for a story.
 When asked what good it would do I McArthur Brothers to send that pie ture to New York for publication, the answer was: T don't know as it will do us any direct good; but don't you think it will help to advertise Arizona"
 That is the spirit of McArthui Brothers, so far as the visitor could ! determine. The whole institution seemed to be big, far-reaching, dwell 1 ing entirely in the psychology of busi- ness, on the principle that good done ! no matter where, will return to enricf i the one who did it.
 This advertising department ha: moving picture equipment in connec- tion and can show a customer just how 1 the cars they sell are manufactured The department is there apparently tt serve the public along lines of interes

It is organization.

It IS Or?sanlZauOn.
 That is the answer given when an inquiring visitor at McArthur Broth CTS automobile establishment asks how this or that is done as he passes through the several departments.
 But no one person will claim the credit for the organization" The one to whom the question is put will say "McAfthar Brothers did it" and let the credit go to the firm. There is no playing up one and leaving another unnoticcd.
 This particular visitor tried to find out who was the organizer, who WAS responsible for the wonders which have been wrought by this great auto mobile organization, and went so far as to try to pin the credit down to one of the firm especially. But that would . not do at all It was made quite clear that ~McArthur Brothers did it." and that they are unit of strength, back ing one of the most remarkable or ganizationS in the automobile business of the country.
 The question was put at one time, when the visitor was informed that PhoeniX in the eyes of the automobile sales fraternity, as represented by the cars handled by McArthur Brothers was in a class of cities numbering in population from twice the size of Phoe- nix to five times it's size.
 The sales force of McArthur Broth CTS, through the suhtle influence of that wonderful organization" recently carried away prize in a class which numbered Phoenix with such metro politan cities as Mobile, Alabama, g city possibly three times the size ot Phoenix. With this victory the capita of Arizona was moved up to take rank with cities the size of Utica, N. Y, and Memphis, Tenn. No one person die

to the traveller or business man.
 McArthur Brothers make q study Of advertising, the visitor was told. An ad for the newspapers is given deep thought; it is examined and considered from every angle by experts and mem bers of the firm. 1t must be exactly right, they say, before it is released for publication. The power of the word is considered; how in every way that word will impress the reader. The word must mean something, must grasp the reader and hold him until he is wholly impressed with the big idea of the advertisement. "Automo- bile" that word standing alone might mean nothing to the read, but Me Arthur Brothers put it into an ad in such q way as to grip the reader and hold him. They go on the principle that they pay for so much advertising space and that therefore that space must not be wasted. Words with them mean nothing. The idea behind the word is what they seek to bring out and here again is that psychology which has wrought such wonders in the business of McArthur Brothers. Here again is organization.
 For Road information
 The visitor by this time was aware of the fact that he was not in an or dinary automobile shop. At one time he imagined he was in a newspaper office and at another time in an art studio and he was getting used to sur prises when he was conducted into a room in the basement where there is a drafting table and a big cabinet of maps
 This is the engineering department he was informed. What, do you build things here" he asked. "Oh, that isn't the idea, at all" was the answer You see, McArthur Brothers make

What was once a lingerie luxury has now become an almost universal ne- cessity That is to say, that silk is rap idly replacing linen and muslin for un- derwear.
