WON'T LEAVE THEIR
 DESOLATE ISLAND

In the middle Atlantic, about half way on a straight line between Cape Town and MOntevideo, there was heaved up in remote times by vol canic action a huge rock, the little island of Tristan da Cunha, bleak and barren, the vortex of fierce storms, always enveloped by cloud. and summed by ships, and yet for the last hundred years inhabited by a strange race made up of English, Dutch. Irish, Italians, Americans, cast ashore from time to time in ship wreck, or driven there by weariness of the busy world. and living on fish and the spells of the wrecks that strew its coast.
 These people, now about eighty in number, men, women and children suffer hardships and deprivations al most inconceivable to residents Of moro favored lands.
 Having no useful timber, their huts are unmortared piles of rough stones. matched with grass.
 The island is so infested with ra-s from wrecked ships that any grain planted is eaten in the ground; and the only source of flour is passing vessels, which may be intercepted only by rowing many miles to sea There is no government of any sort, no school, no church.
 The island has no future; the people ! have no prospect but of entombmenI ] there.
 One would suppose that these ln- l fortunates, intelligent, industrious thrifty and temperate. as they are described to he, would gladly leave | their rude huts, terrible hardships their barren fields, their pitiable pow erty and hopelessness, to rejoin thc comfortable world.
 But, no.
 The British government has re newed its offer to remove them an( their few possessions from the bleal island to any British soil they may choose and to give them means tt | start life anew.
 Not one will consent to go. There on the bleak island ar, their homes. and there they vii stay.
 Maybe after all one lot in life i not much better or worse than an other. so far as real happiness goes but there are some things that seen very necessary to us, and that litti corner in Gods creation we call hom is one of them.

W|NS[OW-|N INDIANS
 BASKETBALL GAME :
 SET FOR TONIGHT

The Winslow and Indian School bas- ketball teams will clash tonight in the state armory in what promises to be the fastest game of the season The visitors will be right at home in the armory as they have been playing indoors all this fall. The team is coached by w. A. Porter, former Uni versity of Arizona star athlete. East man, husky high school lad, who is considered one of the best high school players in the state, and king pin of the team. This young man was also one of the star football players when Winslow was playing football
 The Indians, though having been at practice but a short time, are putting up a fast game. They have four of the two years ago team back in their lineup. Butler, who is known for his football prowess, is also a star in bas- ketball, his lightning plays and fast goal shooting being considered remark able. He. will be ably assisted by Lee Black, last years captain, who is still in his old place as forward. Tallbear and Cleveland are the other two old players
 Coach Cooper of the Tempe Normal will referee the game. and Coach Os- borne of the Phoenix Union High school will act as umpire. The game will be called at o'clock sharp.

IGORROTES WANT TO
 GET INTO THE WAR

Japanese newspapers which have reached here strongly urge the United States to send the Igorrotes to France to fight side by side with the American troops. They state that several of the wild tribes in the Philippines already have offered their services to Governor General Harrison.
 The Far East is especially urgent in this matter It says:
 'Men of all colors and nationalities are fighting side by side in the great war and the latest volunteers are na- .tives of a tropical territory that can supply 100000 fighting men to the United States, if need be. In the Phil ippines are some of the most warlike tribes in the world, and they are keen to offer themselves"
 The Manila Times prints a state ment from Judge James Ross of the colonial administration, who has made an extended tour through Luzon, tour ing mountainous regions in the north. At every station he stopped natives and asked for a chance to enlist in the great war. Judge Ross stated:
 Each native came in with his dis charge papers, showing the length and quality of the service he has rendered to the government of the Philippines. Then, saying he had heard the United State was at war with Germany, he would urge his claim to bear arms under the American flag. The sturdy volunteer would be advised to rejoin the constabulary, in which many vacancies exist; but this did not satisfy. One and all wanted to fight
 In conclusion the Far East says:
 If as some observers think, the war is going to test the man power of the United States as did the Civil war, Uncle Sam has rich resources in the Philippines that should not be over loeked.''

way, but we are winning now. and that's no mistake Old Fritz is trying his best to hold out, but We have the best of him, every way and all
 Our boys go into the war game now with the feeling. the harder we hit the sooner we get Fritz down for good"
 1 met an Australian one of those strapping chaps who fight like demons and forget all about it when they land in London tWenty-four hours later. They criticize freely and frankly, but they are mighty fair in their judgment. This man played his part in Gallipoli. Bullecourt, Ypres-all death struggles and still walked along the Strand, much more interested in hearing about the London raids than willing to tell about the fighting in Flanders.
 We're giving them he'll he said. "We're going nicely. We have got the hang now of hitting the enemy before he can ct there to meet us. Hes going to have hell of a winter in the mud out there and l fancy he doesn't like the idea.
 T think he'll see his finish pretty soon"
 Although these comments come from the ranks. they mean more than ] ing.
 There is no question about the nerve of the British army. The mo- rale of the German armies is still unbroken, but under the terrific blows which began to fall at Arras it is be- ginning to show unmistakable signs of weakening.
 No army can preserve a high state ] of morale indefinitely if kept con- 1 stantly on the defensive, as Prince Rupprecht's army has been kept. l It is not in itst liability to stop the rush of Haig's forces that the Ger man army shows it's loss of morale 1 but rather in the counter attacks which lack the fire and determination 1 of the earlier days of the war. The men started then with the same spir- it the small college teams have dis played when pitted against Yale ear

Then General Emuts. in another of his careful, contained, steadying speeches always temperate, urged the country to hold firm.
 Again reverting to the opinion held in Germany, we find Dr. Franz Benz in Der Tag devoting a long article to the development of the theme, Eng land Trying to Overcome Germany by Cunning Psychological Strategy" He continues:
 Germans Hope For Favorable Peace
 If she succeeds-and it appears she is on the way to do so-the will to war and to victory will collapse auto matically"
 He goes on to say that Englans of fensiVe is abetted by the work of German pacifists at home, and adds: The war will end in a duel between ] Germany and England. On the one side will be the submarines of Germany and on the other side the psychological reservation of the British. Let us hope the former will be superior" Disquieting as are the air raids on ] England, it is not because of them that | English statesmen are warning the | peaple to keep their nerve. Rather they fear the people will misinterpret the meaning of the raids and accept the pretensions, issued now and then from Berlin, as honest manifestations of 8 genuine desire for peace.
 Not because German militarists of the junker party expect to win the de- cision through U-boat warfare are the | German people entreated to keep their nerve, but because it is the hope of the German general staff to postpone the end long enough to drive the allies into a peace which would leave the German ruling class in a better position to fight the internal battle which now has become inevitable
 Whose nerve will break first? l talked recently with a non- commis stoned officer who had been at the front since August 22, 1914. In the las three years he has handled hundreds o1 wounded soldiers and been across shell-swept fields countless times missing death by inches on dozens o1 occasions.
 But when saw him he was as buoy ant and confident as if he were certain of victory tomorrow.
 Take my word he said, it will soon be over We have got Fritz beat en and he knows it. He is tired of wal clean through.
 Everyone out there feels the same

MORALE TO DECIDE
 WINNER IN THE WAR
(\ew York Tribune)

Along with admonitions to observe the strictest economy and contribute literally to the war loans has come am other-keep your nerve" In every bel ligerent country statesmen and soldiers returned from the battle line are en- treating the people to stand firm.
 Long ago Hindenburg said that the nation with the strongest nerves would win the war" And only a few weeks ago Sir William Robertson made a similar declaration. And than came von TirpitZ, who said
 If we keep our nerve we shall attain victory"
 Michaelis' last words concerning the fighting phase of Germany's warfare were. Wait and hold your tongue"
 Recently Winston Churchill de- clared:
 Victory consists in the last inch"

The house of representatives of Mel bourne, Australia, is considering the additional tax on unenlisted men. Sir John Forrest explained that police and prison officials, lighthouse employees, clergymen, men all of whose eligible brothers are on active service, and men who have been medically rejected, will not be required to pay the extra tax. The government believes that the pro- posal will stimulate recruiting. The government is converting the shrink CTS tax into bachelors tax and elim- mating the age limit of 45
