Shrine initiation the Shriners them selves, got out in full regalia, and paraded the streets last night Fully 400 fez-clad heads were in line, with
 the candidates bringing up the rear, clad as angels, their white robes flying in the wind.
 A "Band' lead the procession. That
 is it might have been called a band in the South Sea Islands, but if noise and liberal beating of drums may be called music. the Shriners had full orchestra at their head.
 Through the streets, the poor can didates were lead, some of them smil- ing as if they were indifferent, and others hanging their heads in fear.
 Fond wives and mothers lined the sides of the streets. for one last glance
 at the loved ones as they looked on February 9, 1917. It was stated would never look the same again. Some Scenery Is Ready
 So many Shriners migrated to Phoe-
 nix yesterday. it was necessary to build a gallery around the lodge room in the Masonic Temple where the festivities took place last night. Ordinary masons were not given a peek at the newly dressed ceremonial quarters, but ii they
 had. recognition would have been inn possible. Scenery built especially for the Shrine degrees had heen installed all the instruments of torture were laid out, and the hot fires with which the sands are heated, were almost molten In hordes inconceivably innocent looking. almost as if they had just had their faces washed and made ready for the big doinss, the novices, were stand ing around in nervous groups, wonder. ing what was going to happen. when
 the big time started. Time after time. some well known business man, about
 to take his life in his hands and venture forth on the perilous trip, approached members of the patrol. with a conver- sation about like this:
 Well now George, you know we've always been good friends, and you see''-

 But there's the wife and children" Cant help it" came the heartless re- ply. You asked to come in, and you'll have to do the best you can" And then i the novice would slink away, to brood on the future and the heartlessness of
 men.

The i novlces, who are no longer classed as such this morning, were most of them
 sent home in carriages or ambulances last night, and reporters were sternly
 warned to keep away, and mind their
 own business. Those few who were seen iimping from the entrance of the Ma sonic temple though, were eioauent tributes to the thoroughness with which
 the degrees were conferred
 One of the pleasant features of the

RE TURN OF MEN
 MEANS PROBLEM

T don't know what we are going to do with the men when they come back from the border" said Special Agent Frank Brown of the immigration ser vice yesterday, when asked if his office had received orders to be on the look out for positions for those men who will come back to private life. and find their places gone.
 We have received notice that the men will be coming back soon, but don't know where we can place them All we can do is to make an effort to find places where there is plenty of work, and send them there
 At the present time there is a sur plus of labor in the state. All the min ing camps are overflowing. and in sev- cral towns, merchants have held meet 'Ggs and informed the world more men were not needed, in fact not even in- vited to come to their camps
 There are more surplus men in Phoe- nix right now than there have been in years The contractors who are clear ing land on the southside, keep 800 men at work all the time, and in order to keep their ranks filled, are bringing in about 1000 q week. The average man they bring in stays less than 10 days on the job. They quit, and wander into Phoenix, loaf around awhile. pick up a job if possible, and if not. they hit a freight train and wander on.'

All day yesterday. all last evening, and throughout the hours of the night, there was d band of men in Phoenix bent on having a good time, and getting all out of the 24 hours possible. Part of the time they were celebrating on the desert, some of the time on the streets, and at the Masonic temple. all the time there were at least hundred Shriners. getting ready for the big times last night, and laying plans to lay low the heads of mwary novices.
 It was Shrine day in Phoenix or, rather Shrine night, for the major DOT ton of. the festivities took place after dark. The streets were literally sprin- kled with the bright uniforms of the patrol. and red fezeS were to be seen bobbing everywhere. The hotels were full of Shriners. and the desert man aged to soak up several hundred of them without effort.
 There were festivities all day long, starting at 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing, when a motorcade bearing shrin- CTS and would-b be shriners left Phoenix for a trip around the valley thence to Papago park. Upon arrival at the park, Coffee AT Williams, said to be the best cook ever produced by the Shrine, was found to be on the Joo. with a world
  better known under the professional name of Amos Arthur, was one of the principal waiter at the affair.
 pr. Hughes, Entertainer
 One of the features of the morning, was the one-man entertainment put on by Dr. 4. H. Hughes of Phoenix. The doctor, who is known wherever the hot sands lie, for his prohibition ten dencleS, arrived at the scene of the dO- ings in the park, driving his little chug- about up the side of the mountains with an abandon which was worthy of a bet ter cause. He spied the milk being passed freely, and gracefully consented to take a drink of what is known under the trade name of Ginger Ale
 The day was full of humorous in cidents. There was just one thing after another taking place. Peace for a nov ice was something that he had heard of though failed to experience In the ranks of those taking the degrees, were old men, young men, and men of high degree.
 L. P. Jones of Ray. prominent in that district of the state, who made the trip to Phoenix in a machine to have the degrees conferred upon him, n3r- rOwly escaped the fun owing to the fact that when he arrived in town he failed to turn on the lights of his machine. The police at once started on his trail, but friends, who wished to nave him present at the festivities last night, kindly hid him in a room at one Jf the down town hotels, and kept him there all day in s0ite of m intense yearn.ng or the captive's part to go out and face the cor4seouenNe lie was smuggled out last night, Eut managed to escape and give himself up

twenty thousand men here and more
coming all the time. All of the men
are anxious to get at the Germans
and have it over as soon as possible
fully share in this feeling too. If
thcre ever were such things as devils
IN human form it certainly is the
Germans.
what do you think of them drop
ping poison candy for the little
French children to eat? We have
proof that they have killed hundreds
OF French children that way. | love
children and it seems to me that if
anything in the world will make a
man want to take shot at those
criminals that will.
Our Y.M.C.A. tent is a wonder
wish you could see under it ust now
There are 500 men here now, and
talk about singing, they are doing
that thing. They are singing "Thc
Old Time Religion" and can be heard
for two miles. So you see it is not
all drill and hard work.
