MONSTER CRUISER
 U-BPl lp5 OPERATE
 }N[ HIS SIDE Naf ' fficers Believe Raid CT Large Size, Carry ing Big Crews and Armed
 With Heavy Guns

Washington, August 15. German submarines carrying out raids in American waters are of the cruiser type, very probably converted merchant men like the Deutschland, which made two peaceful trips to the United States before this country entered tie war. They are low speed craft, with-great cruising radius, carrying large crews, 5.9-inch guns and mine laying equipment, as we'll as torpedoes.
 These conclusions have been drawn by naval officers from detailed reports gath cred from time to time since the U-boats first appeared off the Atlantic coast last May. The largest of them probably is not more than 300 feet long and officers are satisfied they are not the super submarines which frequent reports of late have said Germany was building
 It may now be stated that the raiders have made no effort to attack troop ships leaving for Europe and that none of them ever has been sighted by outbound transports or conveying warships This fact, together with the general charac- ter of the operations of the submersibles, is accepted here generally as proof that the sole purpose of the raids is to him der commerce as much as possible and, incidentally. to carry the German cam paign of sfrightfulness' to the United

CAMP CODY WILL BE
 ABANDONED, IS ORDER

Arizona boys in training at Camp Cody will not be mustered out at that point, but will be transferred to Camp Travis, San Antonio. Texas, where the final demobilization will take place. official statement issued yesterday by teh war department.
 Pressure has been brought to bear looking to the release of the men from this state before the abandonment or the Deming cantonment should occur. For a time it appeared probable that this course would be pursued and that the mastering out of the Arizona. men would be accomplished before Camp Cody was vacated.
 Yesterday, however, Senator Ashurst who has been working in favor of the scheme, was advised by the war de- partment that the proposed arrange ment was not in accord with the plans which have been made for the trans fer and discharge of the soldiers in New Mexico.
 While the decision comes as a disap- pointment to many, it is not believed that under the present arrangement the discharge of the local men will be greatly delayed The machinery of de- mobilization now in operation at Camp Travis should. if anything, facilitate the settling of the final accounts and effect the release of the soldiers as quickly as if the work had beSff done in tn camp in the adjoiningstate. The removal of the troops is now well under way

Those To Be Published As
 Volunteer Members Who Join Christmas Red Cross
 Roll In County By Then

Noon of Friday, December 13, will be the last time in which those who vol untarily take out memberships unde. the Christmas Red Cross Roll Call can be publicly credited as volunteer mem bers.
 The list of those who become mem bers of the Red Cross for 1919 in ad- vance of the start of the Christmas Roll Call, which starts on Monday, De- cember 16, will be published at the week end in the newspapers of Phoe- nix, and Mrs. Ainsworth, chairman for the Christmas Roll Call for the Central Arizona Chapter, has extended her thanks to the local newspapers for their courtesy in publishing this list without charge.
 All of those who volunteer member ship for 1919 in the American Red Cross through the Central Arizona Chapter may expect that their names will appear in the printed list which will appear in the local papers as soon after Friday noon as possible.
 Hope to Exceed 1918 List
 It will take some time to complete the list and to get it in type, so that 1t will not be possible to print it be- fore Saturday, but one thing is certain, and that is that no names brought or sent in after noon of Friday of this week can be included.
 It is hoped to largely exceed the 1918 membership roll in the roll for the new year. Membership costs but S1, or, with an annual subscription to the Red Cross Magazine, but S2. It is desired to enroll in membership every adult | person in the limits of the Central Arizona Chapter. In each home where all adult members are in the Red Cross membership for 1919 an emblem will be displayed, so that when house-t te- house canvass is made, that home will not need to be called upon. Thus, 8 volunteer membership will greatly help out in the work of this genera canvass of the community.

 Phoenix. Arizona.
 Dear Sirs:
 Your letter and separate cover with descriptive matter relating to Phoenix and a daily paper have been received, and it would seem that altitude, eli mate and conditions generally point to Phoenix as the place for which ] am looking. 1 am greatly concerned at the serious flu epidemic which has grown worse in all the cities and towns in western Pennsylvania since the lifting of the ban. It would seem that keep Ing open the schools makes it almost impossible to eliminate the flue as con- valescent children are constantly in- fecting others in the schoolroom.
 From the paper you sent, l judge that you are keeping the epidemic well in hand and there seems to be in Phoe- nix a willing cooperation sadly lack ing in Erie and this county. l hope Phoenix will not make the mistake of opening schools, movies, etc, toe soOn."

country during the autumn stole mil.
lions of the best years OF life from
American manhood and womanhood
Henry Noir, an insurance authority OF
this city declared here today.
The average economic loss of ac-

health of persons under so were
found to be much better than at any
