Monday night five automo- piles camped on the ridge two miles west of town, near Camp Clover. They spent the follow ing day sightseeing and enjoy ing our beautiful scenery. They visited Bill Williams, Elephant Park and the Three Sisters.
 The tourists were Californ- ians and could not understand why Williams could not become a popular summer resort, sur rounded as it is by such beauti- full scenery and so many points of interest.

National Guard Recruiting Ser
 vice

Military service is public duty that every citizen owes to Ilis State and country. In this connection it is high time to draw attention to the fact that there is plenty of room for Ari- zonians in Arizona's own regi- ment, and there will be plenty of service there. The regular forces will not be able to offer anything in the way of war ex- fperience that will not be enjoy ed by the First Arizona Infan- try. Those that desire to serve their country can easily find out about this by communicat- ing with the nearest National Guard recruiting Station.

WILLIAMS BOYS RESPOND ID THEIR
 COUNTRY'S CALL

Up to April 26th, seven Will Hams boys had answered their country's call for volunteers, and a number more are expect ed to do so during the next week.
 The first two recruits from Williams were Walter F'inney and Campbell Wolfe, who en- tered the navy last week. They are now drilling at San Francis co.
 This week Harry Wilson, of the Williams State Bank and Messrs, Burt Phillips, Camel and Swanson volunteered for the Arizona First Infantry.
 MT. Wilson will prove a par ticularly valuable recruit at this time due to the fact that he has had two years previous military training. He will be missed from the Home Guards where he has served as drill Sergeant. MT. Root, also of the Williams State Bank, expects to enlist as soon as his position at the bank can be filled, and he, too, will join the Arizona First.
 Walter Carlson and F. s. Hammond expect to volunteer for service in the Aviation Corps. They expect to leave within the next week.
 Among the many others who are reported to be contemplat- ing enlistment in the Arizona First are: Henry Johnson. Fanny" Wolfe, Chas. and Jimmy Matz, Ralph Mclean. John Klock.
 Estimating the population of Williams at 1,50O and taking 260,000 as the total population of Arizona, from ten to twelve recruits from Williams will be needed to supply the towns full quota to the First Arizona Regiment. Half of this number have already responded and the remainder undoubtedly will within the next week.

D|SARM GERMANS ONLY
Question as to Whether Mexi- can Aliens are Included in Order for Disarmament Set tied by U. s. Atty. General.

order Tor Disarmament Set
 tied by U. s. Atty. General.
 Considerable discussion and some little excitement has risen out of the question as to wheth- CT the Mexicans are includ- ed among the "alien enemies" whose disarmament is ordered by President Wilson's procla- nation. Some have maintained that the Mexicans were of course included and according ly would be disarmed at once. Others have insisted that the term Alien enemy" could ap- ply only to citizens of countries now at war with the United States, and Mexico being at peace with Uncle Sam, no Mex jeans could be included in that order. The latter was the opin- ion of Town Attorney Gold, but the Marshall leaned to the first view and to have the matter definitely settled, the Town Council instructed attorney Gold to telegraph Governor Campbell for his opinion. Gov. Campbell telegraphed to U. s. Attorney Gregory who sent his reply directly to the Town at torney. The question is now definitely settled and there is no longer room for differences of opinion upon the subject. The text of MT. Colds telegram to Governor Campbell, the Governors reply and the reply of Attorney General Gregory appear below.
 Williams, Arizona, April 24 IT Governor Thomas Campbell,
 Phoenix.
 Under recent proclamation issued, the Town Council de- sires to know if your Excellency construes alien enemy to mean all persons who are not natur- alized or who have not de- clared their intention, if under your construction, should the Council authorize the officers to disarm all aliens. You know our population. Wire.

MASS MEETING OP- POSES PURCHASE OF
 AMUNDSEN HOME
Mass Meeting Places Itself on Record as Opposed to the Purchase of the Amundsen Property for $6, 1000, by Vote of B to 2-Additional Wing Will Probably be Construct ed Without Further Farley.

The school auditorium was we'll filled last Saturday night, with school patrons desiring to express their views upon the question of the advisability of purchasing the Joe Amundsen residence, situated on the south west corner of the school house block, for the price of $6,000. Ed Hamilton was elected chairman of the meeting. A lively discussion followed dur ing which it became apparent that the majority of those pres ent objected to the purchase of the property at the proposed price.
 In favor of the purchase, it was urged that the purchase of the Amundsen property would add much needed playgrounds to the school site, and that the Amundsen building could be easily converted into a useful school building. It was also urged that tine price was not exhorbitant considering the material put into the building, and that it would probably never be possible to get it for smaller figure. It was also urged that the purchase of this property would almost inevit- ably be followed by the remov- al of the Catholic church to other lots and that would clear the entire block.
 Among the arguments made in opposition to the purchase were the following:
 1. The price asked is too high (a) because the building could be duplicated for about $3,50O; (b) because the build ing would require remodelling therein being worth less than the cost of erection as a resi- dence; Co the building even when remodelled would not be equal to a building built for school purposes in the first place.
 2. The additional wing to the present building would be adding to the capacity of the school building, and at the same time would be much bet ter adapted to the purpose and would add more to the efficien- cv of school work.
 It was further urged that the mass meeting held the week be- fore had favored the erection of another wing to complete the present building and that no sufficient reason had been introduced that would justify other action.
 When the question was put to vote two voted in favor of the purchase of the Amundsen property and 32 against it.
 After a short general dis cussion, the meeting adjourned.

REPORT OF REbEGCA
 GRAND ASSEMBLY
Delegates Report Pleasant Journey and De- lightful Time in Safford-12
 Acre Lot Received for I. O..
 O. F. and Rebecca Home

U. r. and KebecCa Home
 The representatives to the Rebecca Assembly, left Will Hams on No. 1, Saturday, April 14th. After a very tiresome journey, and some four changes to Stafford, we arrived Sunday evening between six and seven o'clock. We were escorted to Hotel Olive, where we were as- signed rooms.
 . We then started out to look the town over and get some thing to eat. The streets of the town are lined with cottonwood trees, which seem to be she'd ding cotton all the time. The Town of Stafford has excellent water for all purposes. It is piped from the mountains. Mt. Graham looms up to ones gaze here as the San Francisco peaks do to us in Coconino County. Mt. Graham is the second high est in Arizona We were con- .ceited to feel that we live near the highest.
 We greatly enjoyed the ex- tent of alfalfa fields thru which we passed. Upon inquiry, we found it to be irrigated country. As the season here was month behind, on account of the pre- vailing cold, it was very com fortable to us all the time.
 The Grand Lodge was in ses- sion. The session opened on Monday the sixteenth, on the evening of which day the Saf- ford Lodge had prepared a re- ception and dance at Layton's Hall. As this is a Mormon dis trict, it is a much larger hall than any we have in Williams.
 The Lodge at Stafford had ar ranged that on Thursday, as soon as the work of the Grand Lodge was finished, which would be at three o'clock, there would be autos to take every one out to the Indian Hot Springs, 25 miles from Stafford. We certainly enjoyed this trip and it was a surprise to us to see this hot water issuing from the ground. Some drank of the water, some swan in it. We were treated to an abundance 'of refreshments here.
 We reached town about g o'clock. Upon returning, num- Der from Prescott called to us, calling us "Williams", and said they had received a letter from Prescott telling them that they had had a snowfall of two inches there. We replied that Williams probably went them better by several inches, possib- i ly from two to three feet.
 The Grand Lodge adjourned on Wednesday afternoon. Or i Wednesday eveningagain pro. vided for a big dance and socia. reception at Bier's Hall. or bet. ter known as Armory Hall. This hall was equally as large as the other mentioned above.
 This closed the three days session. During the session z 12 acre piece of land with al eight room house upon it, wa: offered to the Odd Fellows anC Rebeccas of Arizona, free O: all membranes, if they would
