Recruitinu in Arizona

The indications now are that Arizona will be spared the ignominy of a to fill up national guard to the required strength. Recruiting is going rap- idly and many recruits coming from counties and towns which before had militia organizations, perhaps because the need of them was not felt In those times when many us believed of us do now that all of the past some looked upon militia organization as we look upon the toy gun the tin sword.
 Now war is a reality, grmmer than it before in all the history of the world and militia company is the unit of a fighting force. Arizona should be of the first states of the Union to realize this, since it the last experience horrors of Indian warfare.
 Moreover, border state, whose whole southern boundary lies along region where trouble is feared if not expected it may be believed that it will be the first organize for defense. is doing that and have doubt that it's sons will eagerly enroll themselves for the defense of state and if need be, for the defense of tn nation.

The Patriotism of Pima

The county assessor of Pima county has deviseo q plan to increase enistments in the national guard The names of those eligible to military service who do not enlist will published that the people may know who the slackers The names of those who join the guard will constitute list which we may suppose will be called an honor list The first will be another kind of a list.
 The people of Pima evidently permeated with
 strong degree patriotism fact that was brought out by the suicide the border of young guards man. a member of the Tucson company. Among his papers was found from sweetheart replying to one he had telling of his great love for her so intense that could longer bear separa- tion from her He had, therefore the completion of of enlistment declined to take the federal oath, which would proong their separation His action he doubtless imagined would be proof of his devotion to her. It would prove that he loved her than his country
 It is only those who do not know the right kind of girls who would think about it that way. Girls of the right kind are jealous of their country. That is one their lovers whom they do not hate That was the kind of girl this Tucson girl was. Her reply to the guardsmans letter was hls death warrant She preferred see him again unless he could be man" sign the muster roll He carried out the death sentence by shooting.

AWAKE, COLUMBIAl

Thy day of decision has and gone And thy bells of action have just struck twelve The light of high purpose begins to dawn Where millions of bodies earth tasks delve. A clarion call has rung the land, From the coasts of old Maine to the Oregon strand. From the Mexican gulf to the Canada line, It sounds in the market, the field and the mine The kalser'S proud throne and it's militant lords Insane with the tramp of their steel-clad host Would bind the worlds throat with their blood-red cords
 And throttle in darkness old Libertys ghost Humanlty's armies against them hurled, And, late the breeze, thy star-flag unfurled Awake! thou that sleepest and grd thee with might! Stake all thy resources for freedom truth right Thy presidents voice to thy soul clear doth speak More precious than riches, mere calm and
 content, Are righteousness liberty help the weak Our blood and treasure for Gods peace be

from Petrograd, said to have been made public by the Russian general staff, are that the Germans on the northern part of the front in Russia, backed by their fleet, are preparing for a great attack on the Russian right wing. probably with the intention of attempting to isolate Petrograd from the main Russian armies
 Considerable fighting is taking place in Macedonia, with the Teutonic allies the aggressors Attacks in the Cerna river region and between Lakes Och rida and Presba, according to Paris, were repulsed. Violent artillery duels are taking place in the districts of Monastir and Tarvena Stena and on the right bank of the Varder near May adag.
 Reciprocal air fighting is in progress between the Austrians and Italians. (From a Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, April 19 (via London, 1850 D. m.).-A German officer captured Tuesday frankly stated that the Ger mans regard the loss of Vimy ridge as the greatest defeat they have suffered since the war began. This officer i knows the ridge thoroughly, having ! been stationed on it all last summer, and said he could not understand how any troops could fail to hold it. In his opinion the garrison must have been ] demoraliZed.
 The latter statement is thought to
 be true, for other captured Germans have testified to demoralization in l their ranks after several days of Brit ish artillery fire. The Germans con- tinue. highly nervous all along the front, the slightest increase in the British force calling forth distress signals.
 The German infantry are getting
 better artillery support since the bat
 tie of Arras as a result of the bitterly
 worded reports made regarding the lack of this support previously. The feeling is so intense between the Ger
 man infantrymen and artillery1nen thaf
 the British have found 1t necessary tt
 separate the prisoners belonging t'
 the two services to prevent 1Ightlns

 The newly called up troops throWr into the western line admit that th'
 artillery fire bewildered them. Thi:
 also is true Of the German troops re .. gently transferred from the eastern t

 the latter forces say that they had n 1 idea what war actually was like unti recently, and all became much de pressed when they saw the trenche they were supposed to occupy al , smashed and torn by the British shel i 1 fire.
