RED CROSS ACTIVITIES

into view; but from one side to the other hearts are touching.
 (These messages were really sent across the Atlantic ocean by an American and a. French girl.l
 The spirit of Young -mer.ca was demonstrated a few days ago when q tiny girl and boy called at headQuar- ters and, depositing pennies and nickles totalling 40 cents, declared they had a club. The little folk eX- plained that the club dues would be devoted to the Red Cross fund.
 Philander P. Claxton, the United States Commissioner of Education, be- lieves that the Junior Red Cross will be the means of bringing together all the clubs in the schools which are aiming to help their country The National War Savings Committee, the Food Administration, and the United States Department of Agriculture are looking to the Red Cross to help them. Civic and vocational leagueS will aid the Red Cross by suggestions and by their work. The Red Cross will always have something to sus- geSt for other organizations who wish to join hands in patriotic service. It offers it's facilities of information and direction as a good way of arrang- ing school time to meet all needs. Living up to it's reputation of be- ing lover the top with all articles | for which it has been requisitioned, | the local chapter will forward 200 personal property bags to headquar- ters in place of the 100 requested by the Pacific division. These cretonne bags are used by the soldiers in the hospitals for their personal effects.
 Mrs. w. K. James, chairman of supplies, has received word from Camp Funston that the soldiers there were well supplied with warm gar ments and knitted articles that were secured through the Red Cross.
 Three cases of knitted articles were forwarded from the local chapter to division headquarters the past week
 In response to a letter from the commanding officer of the U. $. S. Sonoma, on patrol duty in the At lantic, the Phoenix chapter of the Red Cross has equipped the crew with knitted supplies. The officer in- | formed the chapter that his men were ill need of 42 sweaters, 30 scarfs and 3S pair of socks, which were for warded at once on receipt of the | letter.
 The Red Cross tries to help all | people everywhere when they are overcome by some great or unex- pected disaster. It serves those suf- fering from the great plague ol tuberculosis At present, of course, its great work is in helping the wounded and sick soldiers on the battlefields and behind the lines in France anC Belgium. It cares for the civilian men and women and children who have been driven from their homes by l the war. In our own country il serves little children through the dis trict nurses; it does things for oul soldiers in cantonments and sailor: in training stations; it tries to takt I the places in many ways of thu fathers who have had to leave theil homes to serve our country as sol diers and sailors.

Colonel Repinuton's Prophecy

London dispatches in the course of the last week mentioned the punishment by heavy fine of Colonel Repington, the welknown British military expert long associated with the London Times for article written by him for the Morning Post on the conduct the war. The Post also fined for the publica- ton of the article which has been described in detail in the dispatches. It only known that in violation of war regulations though perhaps no more fragrant than severe criticisms which British statesmen dissatisfied with the progress of the have uttered from time to time.
 Colonel Repington severed his connection with the Times recently because of a disagreement mili- tary policies, particularly with reference the disposition of British man-power. He is man with the single idea that the only way to win the war is to win it; that the only way is to overcome the enemy by superior strength He is what is known as an uncompromising "Westerner" that is. oneswho believes that the must be won or lost on the western front and that all efforts should be con centrated that front.
 More than two years ago: after the two long armies on that front had dug themselves in each supported by defensive works extending miles behind most military experts believed that neither side could break through the other and that the end would come either the western front by the starvation of Germany, the total isolation of the Central Em- pires or by the ultimate success of the submarine campaign.
 Colonel Repington believed that all the allied eggs should be put one basket that preference should be given the army the navy; that the entire man-power of the allies should be mobilzed for service the western front. British effort he believed was wasted in the Dardanelles Mesopota- ma Palestine and Africa

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Statement by Dr.. Wilkinson

Citizens of Phoenix:
 The statement has appeared in the press that I am supporting MT. John D. Mills as candidate for City Con- missioner. This is not true; he would not have my support for any public office.
 Personally, believe that MT. J. A. Irvine and MT. w. s. Norveil each represents the highest type of citi- zenship and both are exceptionally well fitted to serve our city as com mssioners. They will make two strong co-laborers with our next Mayor, Frank Woods, for a clean, de- cent, economical city government:
 The statement has been made that the Citizens Central Committee-by some called the church folks-en- dorsed the candidacy of MT. Mills as chairman of this committee. I can say that this statement is not true. When trying to find two good men to make the run with Frank Woods, we selected J. A. R. Irvine and Dr. Wm.
