any measures to win the war

ANOTHER GALL FOR SAMMY HACKERS
 DESIRED GREATLY T0 INCREASE LET

Here is a chance for men who are l beyond military age to perform an active service on the front, the western front, the Italian front. the Mesopo- tamian front or the Russian front, wherever the "Sammies' may be sent. Be a Sammy Backer." To become Sammy Backer" it is only necessary to undertake to become a correspond ent of some Arizona soldier, to give him encouragement and news from home; to send him magazines news papers, and such other gifts as sug- gest themselves.
 It will not be long before the Arizona boys will be on the way. When they are landed at the front, to many of them there will come a feeling of hav ing been cut off from their former lives. That will be bad for them; they will be the better soldiers for feeling that they are the personal representa- tives of some one living at home.
 Many of the ''Sammies' will really have no one to represent except their country and while at that 1t is a pretty good representation there will be some thing vague and indefinite about it. Each "Sammie" would rather know that he is fighting for something more tangible; for some person.
 The Republican proposes to organize a Sammy Backer' contingent It is not the originator of the idea but it takes this method of endorsing 1t. Who will respond? This appeal is ad- dressed to men, The roll is open for enlistment in the Sammy Backers."
Arizona republican., 1917-09-24
HOW TO BE A SAMMY eAcKER'
1. You must be a man.

1. You must be man. 2. You must be above draft age. 3. You must write your name and address on the Sammy Backer" application and pledge printed above. ct is not necessary to write anything on the line after remarks"
 4. You must mail this application to Sammy Backer" Editor The Arizona Republican, Phoenix, Ariz. 5. Last, but not least you must be willing to fulfill the gentle obli- gations and privilege thus under taken, by sending your Sammy letters, magazines, birthday re- membranes, smokes" Thanks giving boxes, or any other small thing that may make easier for him the task of fighting for you.
 6. This you do with the clear un- derstanding that there is no financial consideration of any kind involved, and that the whole thing is a purely private ar- raneement between your Sam my" and yourself.

It has been some tune since there was an enrolment of The Republi- cans Sammy Backers." who have been increasing in numbers. But the time is near now when the assign ments must be made and the revised list is therefore published. It will be noticed that many new names have been added:
 H. R. Christie, Box 475, Hayden, Walter W. Shelly. 733 Grant street, Phoenix
 J. K. Mccarthy, Florence, Arz,
 G. c. Irons, Buckeye. Ariz.
 Eugene D. Goldman. 6l1 North Cen ter street Phoenix.
 George F. Short, 140 West Adams street, Phoenix.
 T. R. Yates, 14O West Adams street Phoenix.
 R. D. o. Johnson. 1419 North Third street, Phoenix
 c. B. Sweeney, Box 1o5, Jerome, Ariz.
 c. R. Broadhead. Route ?, Phoenix. w A. Moody, Thatcher, Ariz.

 J. J. Franklin, State Land Depart ment
 Joe Pearce, livestock inspector, Eager, Ariz.
 Harry Herz. Center and Adams streets. Phoenix.
 H. H. Bowman, Roosevelt, AriZ.
 As has been stated, many of the Sammy Backers' have designated the "Sammies" that they would like to back and. of course, they will be as signed to them Others, as in the case of Mir Herz, who wants to back some Sammy without relatives, have stated a preference that will be given in the assignment.
 Mir Lennard. one of the latest to enroll, an attorney of this city, wants to back two boys whom he had known from babyhood in North Dakota.
 The next contingent of the drafted men will leave for the cantonment in little more than a week and some of the assignments will be made before that time. including men who have gone in all of the Consignments. Some of the assignments will be reserved for the last fifteen per cent to go.
 The real work of the Sammy Backers' will begin after the boys nave SCliC u l Hat IS WIltil they will want to hear from home So long as they are in the cantOnments they will be in reasonably close touch with the communities whence they have come. But after the ocean is rolling between them and the United States they will want some steady friend who has engaged to keep them posted as to what is transpiring in their neighborhoods.
 further and much greater enroll ment of Sammy Backers' is desired and in order to stimulate it the ac- companying coupon will appear in The Republican daily for a short period The attached instructions furnish all the information the prospective Sammy Backer" will require.

Double Feature at Lamara Today

A drama of soul -appeal opened three days run at the Lamara the atre yesterday. It is "The Soul ol Satan" and it represents William Fox's latest Gladys BrockweN con tribution to the art of screendOm. II tells of the problems confronting 2 young girl. and it tells them in 2 vivid fashion that carries it's lessor home. From introduction to end the picture gets over" with a punch that spells success.
 As is usual with all her productions Gladys Prockwel is not the star ir name only She has a real part with real emotions. and she acts iE . realistic fashion. Miss Brockwell pos sesses one of the few truly magnetic personalities of the screen. She car throw her influence over her specta- tors with a confidence that makes or, grip the arms of his chair, aiG watch her every movement.
 In the new picture, Gladys begins with a drab type of slum child, who has seen just enough of the world t. believe that it means only misery and unhappiness. When she meets 2 man who takes more than a pass ing interest in her, she immediately concludes that she is in love. and goes away from her home with him.
 The passage of time brings to her TWO things. the love of a Ieal man rom the great west. and the realiza- ion that her marriage to the first 'nan has been mere sham ceremony calculated to quiet her own scrnples
 Tho nshe finds that the husband s guilty of SD vile crime that he is icing sought by a man whose life he had ruined. Sinner and avengeT meet. face to face And. while the criminal lies dead in the street. th0 girl goes to her home and happiness with the encircling arm If the r19n she really loves. wrapped tenderly about her.
