ARIZONA DOES BIG BIT
 FOR WAR UPON GERMANY

GLOBE, Ariz.-The southwest, in- cluding Arizona, and New Mexico, is doing it's bit toward preparedness for the war with Germany. Since the out break of the European struggle in 1914 every available copper prospect has been developed and there are now millions of tons of the red metal be- ing produced in the southwest where not an ounce was mined prior to the war.
 One copper mine in the Globe dis trict recently increased its output from 35.000.000 pounds a year to 70. 100000 pounds by bringing in new mines and erecting monster mills for concentrating the ore. Another syn dicate paid s2,0O0,OOO for 2OOO acres adjoining its mining field in another district while capital stock is being doubled throughout the copper field, output is being doubled and every thing possible done to prepare the United States for it's share in the war The output of the mines has been offered to the government at cost plus a reasonable percentage of profit when ever it is needed for American am munition.

SAVE DADS LIFE
 GETIT FOR HIM
Says it is suicide to cut corns and tells how they lift
 right out.

You simply say to the drug store man, Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very little but it is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from ones feet.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender. aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly. and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with the fingers without pain.
 This new way to rid ones feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that while freezone is sticky it dries in a moment, and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the sur rounding tissue or skin.
 Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whiting at his corns. but cut this out and make him try it.

 Yes. "Gets-It" is the corn discov- cry of the age. More "Gets-It" is sold by many times than any other corn remedy in existence. Try it and you'll know the reason why.

In the debris of the ruined houses, the
 Germans have left inexhaustible ma
 terial to build up every shelter that
 the French troops need. For the mend
 ing of the roads the French now find
 to their hand all the rubble they need.
 The Germans object. no doubt, was to
 cause misery and privation among the
 peasants, but they only reused the
 slow, stubborn, merciless hatred of the
 man of the soil who will never forget
 or forgive.
 Before the German retreat every
 French soldier was determined to
 drive the invader from the sacred soil of France. Now the men who have
 seen their devastated villages and fields are like that regiment described by Kipling who had seen its dead after they had been cut up by the Afgans. For them it is no longer enough that the enemy should be driven out Of France.
 The capture of Coucy deserves to rank among the most brilliant feats of arms of the retreat. After destroying the castle on the ground that it would have a military value to the French, the Germans proceeded to turn the ruins into a fortress, which was in modern conditions certainly as formid- able as the castle could have been if they had left it intact They loop holed the walls that remained, and placed machineguns behind them. They built platforms along them for the soldiers and sharpshOoters, and piles of grenades are still left to show that they had prepared for desperate stand
 The French troops worked their way | down from the crest of the hills on the | other side of the valley into the woods that lie below the castle. Then they | were held up by a stretch of marsh | land and the machine guns mounted on the castle walls. The Germans poured a storm of shrapnel and asphy- xiating gas shells on the woods, but the French infantry, though it was i'm possible to dig trenches, owing to the water beneath the surface, held their ground until night fall and then began to pass forward in small bodies.
 The Germans kept throwing ares which cast a ghastly light on every thing around. All through the night the gaunt walls of the shattered castle were as visible as though it thad been bright moonlight. But the French guns were not to be denied, and at last they reached the shelter of the houses where, on the either side, the road to the castle and the village beside it Then. suddenly, the resist lnce ceased. All the Germans who could, fled by the way they had pre- ,ared-a covered trench communicat- ng with the vaults of the castle. The est were killed or captured.
 The present state of the castle re- .embles a mountain side after great andslide has passed. Huge blocks of masonry and stone are piled one on {

CASTLE COUCY ONCE
 PRIDE OF FRANCE is
 RUINED BY INVADERS
Magnificent Structure In Beau- tiful Valley of Ailette, Had Marked History of France For Centuries.

FIR BEN CHI HEADQUARTERS.-A French infantry captain, pressing for ward with his men over the crest of the hills that rise above the valley oi Ailette, a few days ago. saw rising nearly 200 feet from the valley on its steep acropolis the castle of Coucy, with its great central tower 200 feet high and 100 feet in diameter, and the smaller towers IA feet high that crowned the angles of the walls. The magnificent castle represented some of the most vital chapters in French his- tory.
 The captain was the last French man to see Coucy in its perfection. As he looked there came from the midst of the castle blinding blaze of flame. The keep and the battlements flew asunder, and for the moment everything vanished under an impene- tarble cloud of dust and smoke.
 When, after many minutes, the cloud cleared away, keep and towers and battlements had disappeared as utter ly as many lowered Camelot. All that remained of that fairy dream was a ragged piece of wall pierced by a window or two, and piles of white, fresh broken stone that poured down the steep hillside like a landship.
 Coucy had been destroyed. Once be- fore in its history its destruction had been ordered. Hazarin had sent forth word that it should be razed to the ground so utterly that men should plough on the ground where once it had been. But the order was never fully obeyed.
 It was left for the Germans, with many tons of explosives, to destroy a wonderful and interesting building that had ceased to have any practical military value. From the military point of view they simply wasted this huge quantity of explosives.
 In all this district, says the British eyewitness, the damage done suggests the work of a band of mischievous savages. Throughout the country be- tween Coucy and Noyon they have sought to annihilate every village by blowing each individual house to atoms. Peasants cottage, walled farmhouse, rich mems chateau have all suffered the same fate. No house was So mean that it was not worth enough explosive to make it pile of ruins
 But no cloud lacks its silver plinig.

And with Lula will go Il charges of grand larceny, all made out merely because after the detective department had received some dozens Of complaints about citizens trying to re- tire and suddenly discovering that the bed lay bare. and the detectives began to investigate with the result of the arr rest of the now famous Lula with some hundred articles of the bedroom in her possession.
 But also the detectives recovered a small storeroom full of missing bed linens, pillow cases, towels and-well, articles of the bedroom in general. And then they reviewed the complaints. which came from F residences in the city and indicated that more than 149 articles had been taken ''by someone"
 So yesterday the women Hooked into the rooms used by the detective depart ment and a general inspection followed. Some dozen left with bundles of articles under their arms while others searched the entire lot of goods laid out on the long table in one of the rooms and shook their heads.

Jack and the Beanstalk," the film enchanted has it's premiere in Birming- ham Sunday at the Alcazar. This won der photo fantasy appeals especially to children between 5 and 90.

And of course there is a beautiful princess and Jack; and a royal court and an army, all made up of very little folk; and a real giant, who is over eight feet tall and who de- stroys the beautiful city built for the children.
 Jack and the Beanstalk will be well comed as a very pleasing innovation to the usual and general run of picture dramas.

Ugly Brothers Minstrels will begin their third annual tour at Central High school tonight when they per form under the auspices of the Wom- ans Missionary union, Norwood band of the First Baptist church, with Mrs. C. F. Manley in charge of the general arrangement and ticket sales.
 The Ugly Brothers minstrel is an aggregation of red -blooded young Bir- minghammers who made a pledge to raise the money to complete Walker Memorial church in Arlington Place, West End, and they have been plac- ing the proceeds of their shows into the church treasury now for three years and so greatly augmenting the building fund that it will soon be easy sailing for those in charge of the financial affairs of the church.
 These boys donate their time, their talent. to this worthy cause and every cent of their pro rata share goes to the church. They will play at Central High school for the benefit of the above two churches. The Apollo or chestra will furnish the music for the occasion.
 James B. Drake is chairman of the Ugly Brothers minstrel committee and states that the seat sale at Central High for tonight is very gratifying.
