 This, in the estimation of guard of ficers, is the best news received ln many a day. It is very evident, that the young men. those who have good positions, are awakening, and coming to the realization that entering the ranks of the First Arizona is the quickest and best way to serve the country.
 A big demonstration will be given for the lads when they leave Phoenix Tuesday night. It is expected that the home guard will turn out, and members of patriotic societies will probably be on hand to give the boys send off they won't forget in several weeks:

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, May 5.-Offerings of wheat today were so meagre that it took only scattered anxious buying to cause a material advance. Lightness of stocks formed one of the chief bullish factors. There was an unsettled close 3A to cents net higher, with May at $2.7S1a and July SPA to $2.24h. Corn gained halft to 11a cents, and oats Is to B. Provisions finished unchanged to 25 cents lower.
 Announcement that British govern ment representatives at Winnipeg had made liberal concessions in regard to purchase terms on cash wheat seemed to have considerable bullish influence on the market here. In this connection it was said necessities abroad were so urgent that demand will equal what ever ocans tonnage was available.
 Corn hardened in value with wheat. Oats were helped upward by purchasers that attributed to seaboard interests Active commission house demand rol lard upheld prices on that product.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, May 5.-The maln ln- fluences of the week in the stock mar ket were supplied by the governments $ plan for financing it's allies and the persistent and inexplicable liquidation of railway shares, chiefly those of the ; investment section.
 Selling of railroad shares increased with the progress of the week, many of these stocks falling to lowest quota =
 tions in five years or more. In the ab- sence of definite news it was asserted that offerings of these securities ori l ginated in large part from foreign in
 terests. Industrials and specialties lost
 little ground. United States Steel backed
 and filled within a four point radius 1 Shippings and oils were subject to greater fluctuations, the former reced- i ing sharply as a result of the subma 1 rine menace and increasing evidence
 that the home government may soor
 make known it's intention to national i ize" American vessels.

SWAN is BEST DUCK
LAKE, SAYS EXPERT
Mr.. 0berhoItzer of Washington,
D. c., Has Made An
investigation

Mr.. Oberholtzer, ornithologist of
Washington, D.. c., who has been
looking over Swan lake with view
to determining it's value as a game
preserve, has completed his work
and gone. He said that it was the
best duck lake that he ever saw,
considering it's topography and other
breeding advantages, and he has
been inspecting some two hundred
lakes in Minnesota He found
forty-two different kinds Of duck
food in the lake, among its plant,
fish and crustacean life, and among
these was food for every kind of duck
living. He thought it a regular duck
paradise.
Mr.. Oberholtzer has visited hun
dreds of lakes in different parts of
the country, and is considered an
authority on them. His present
work has to do with the lakes of
Minnesota and the Dakotas.

MS mOtner is on the ocean on ner way
home.
This morning while at work the
Germans shelled us with big guns. We
could hear the boom of the gun and
suddenly the shell which comes with a
whistling understanding like big
sky-rocket starting out, only louder.
Then it explodes. I tell you it is an
awful suspense listening to that
shrek and waiting for the explosion,
We were there in the village while the
shells were coming. 1t was our first
experience under fire and every time
we heard shell coming we ducked-
a couple of times dropped fiat. The
boys all did the same, hiding under
anything near at hand. tell you it is
ing for those things when you know
they are coming into the village and
one can blow you to atoms. All the
French soldiers and people got out OF
town in hurry and after while we
were ordered to get our cars out. We
then watched from the hillside and
could see the shells burst They came
about every two or three minutes.
After it was over 1 had my picture
taken in one of the shell holes and
got some pieces Of shell that were
still hot. 1t will be worse when we
go up further. You never know when
a shell is coming. On July IA, the
French Fourth the army got a mil
lion bottles of champagne. We got
one bottle for every four men.

ALBERT LEA COUPLE ].
HURT IN AUTO SPILL
Car Was Run Into BY Machine
In Hands of Reckless
Driver

Albert Lea, August 14.-Elmer
Smithson and Miss Mabel Nelson of
this city were injured in an automo-
bile accident three miles south of
Owatonna Sunday evening and that
they were not killed outright is a
miracle.
They were returning to the city from
Waseca and when about three miles
south of Owatonna they noticed car
approaching weaving from one side of
the road to the other. 1t was on a
grade and fearing an accident Elmer
pulled to the side of the road and
stopped his car. The driver of the APP
preaching car is said to have been
intoxicated and in an endeavor to get
further off the road Elmer drove too
near the edge of the grade and the
car pitched down an eight-foot en-
bankment turning completely over
twice and pinning the occupants be-
meath.
A woman in, the party came back
and after looking ct the wrecked car
said: "My God, we have killed some
one, let's beat it," and was the
last seen or heard of them.
Another car soon passed and the
victims of the drunken driver were
released from beneath the car and
Miss Nelson was taken to the Owa-
tonna hospital where she is still con-
fined with broken collar bone and
other serious injuries. AZ.
Smithson is not seriously injured
but how either of them escaped death
or at leastS serious injury is hard to
understand.

UNITED Press Dispatch.1
Washington, August 14.-Confisca-
ton of wealth of this country to pay
for the war is in brief what is advo-
Gated in the minority report of the
senate committee on finance, dis
approving the two billion dollar tax
bill that the majority has just re-
ported. Senators La Toilette of
Wisconsin,, Gore of Oklahoma and
Thomas of Colorado are the three
senators signing this minority re-
port, which was presented Inc the
senate today by Senator La Toilette.
The minority report declares that the
majority report will not raise half
the revenue that will be needed for
the first year, and that while the
majority report does not so state it
contemplates filing up the def
cheney by the issuance of war bonds.
The minority report calls attention
to the fact that Great Britain taxes
away eighty per cent of. the profits
in that country. If the minority
amendment is not adopted, Senator
La Toilette will introduce an en-
tirely new bill

new ULM ASKED TO
HOLD LOYALTY MEET
Letter Written BY Senator W. A.
Campbell; Town Asked to
Show C0I0rs

Minneapolis Journal: A suggestion
that New Ulm stage patriotic
meeting, issued by State Senator
William A. Campbell of Minneapolis,
and the establishment in the office
of the Minnesota Public Safety COM
mission of an annex" of the federal
department of justice, northwest
headquarters, were today's develop
ments in the original warfare against
scattered sedition now taking form
in Minnesota.
Senator CaInpbell's invitation to
New Ulm to take stand for the
government was made in letter to
Fred w. Johnson of New Ulm,
brother of the late Governor John A.
Johnson.
The letter follows:
"The thought occurs to me that it
is hardly fair to permit the splendid
high grade citizens of New Ulm who
are loyal and true to this govern
ment to receive all the advertising
they are now receiving through the
newspapers of this state and being
branded as traitors simply because a
cheap politician like Albert Pfaender
desires to go to congress from that
district and is willing to lower the
standard of his city by trying to let
the impression go out that the en-
tire city of New ,Ulm and Brown
county is unpatriotic.
| 81 may be mistaken in my diagno-
sing the case of Pfaender, but every
thing to me indicates it is simply q
political move on the part of Pfaen-
der on having his friends boost the
lcause of Germany against the United
| States. If am right, predict that
before this war is over he (Pfaender)
will feel something like the man who
betrayed Christ for thirty pieces OF
silver: he will want to go out and
hang himself in the end.
els it not possible in your city and
county to get sufficient number of
! citizens who are willing to come out
and take a stand direct for the gov
eminent in this crisis that now con-
fronts us and thereby show the peo-
pie of the state of Minnesota and the
United States that New Ulm. has in
| it today as loyal true citizens as any
section of this great country?
81 feel keenly on this subject, as
have a very high regard for your
splendid city, and / wish to offer my
services free to speak at such a
meeting to be arranged any time in
the future in New Ulm as above
stated, for the purpose of wiping out
the stigma that now appears to hang
over your city,
