Belgian Relief and the Home Service workers will be expected to join ranks in this greatest war demonstration of them all In fact, every woman in- terested in the war and in mercy and it's winning should lend her influence and her presence to this parade. It is not a Red Cross parade or a bond committee parade. it is a parade Of, by and for all the women in this district who are daughters of American moth erhood and interested in the success and comfort and final victory Of Amer ican manhood Can you find way tc edge cut from this classification Do you wish 10 edge out of it?
 Yes. and the soldier boys at Lowell camp will be asked to march. A de tail or company. as they can arrange it.
 You see. the women of the district are pledged to raise half of the dis tricts quota for the bonds Their pride and honor. as well as their patri otism are concerned. They have q great task ahead Only by enthusi- asm and by getting the attention of lut ulSAilEA anu Us uAAF NbAAANlA anu allotment can they succeed. ALL must help to win.
 Here is a sample of feminine patrit ism that is going to carry the women through their great undertaking: The girls at the pOstoffice have subscribed 100 per cent already to the fourth bond issue. And these girls are going to march in this paraCe And they should be given an especial cheer as they pass by.
 And remember. the women have set out to brush away this old bugabOo about it being SO hard to get up a great parade in Bisbee. the canyon town. As Mrs. Frlnkenburg says "The harder it is to do, the more worth while it is to accomplish it; this is the hardest war that right ever tried to win against might in the world"

CONSTRUCTION WORK
 RULES EXPLAINED BY
 CHAIRMAN HENDERSON
HEAD OF COUNTY RESOURCES COMMITTEE MAKES PUBLIC COPY OF TELEGRAM FROM WASHINGTON TO CHAIRMAN OF REGIONAL COMMITTEE

J. R. Henderson, county chairman for the war resources committee. yes terday received a copy of a telegram sent from Washington to the chair man of the regional district headquar- ters at Dallas. m which final and im- portant ruling regarding all sewer. street and road construction work is promulgated. The text of the order is as follows:
 "The following ruling supplementing circular number twenty-One. issued Sept. 8, has on this. the 26th day of September. been promulgated by the priOriries commissioner. contractors and others engaged in the construction of streets. pavements and rOadways. now substantially under way. are au- thcrized tO continue such construction and manufacturers and distributors or and dealers in materials used in con nection herewith. may continue to furnish same for such construction woIk up to Nov l. Applications for permits should be promptly made Co the United States highway council. through the state highway department for the completion of all such work now under contract and under con structiun which cannot be completed prior to Nov l. No new contracts for the mainteance. construction or re- construction of streets, pavements and highways. should be entered into. or no new construction not now in prog ! ress undertaken either prior to. or sub sequent to. Nov. ]. without first Ob- taining a permit from the United
 States highway council through the
 state highway department"
 The telegram above quoted indicates that stin a third division has been es- tablished to have chage of highway construction work. in which is incluj- ed certain classes cf municipal con stTucsiOn work. such as sidewalks. sewers. etc. Furthermore. this tele- gram makes it quite clear that all such construction work of streets. pave ments and rOadways now substantial ly under way. may be completed and
 that distributors and dealers in ma teri5ls needed for same may sell with out special permit until Nov T. All | persons interested may govern them selves accordingly

abandoned by the American army. Moreover, if the German government should carry out it's threat in a single instance. it will be the right and du1y of the government of the United States to make such reprisals as will best protect the American forces, and nctice is hereby given of the inten- ton of the government of the United States to make such reprisals."
 The protest of the German govern ment submitted through the Swiss charge interim, is as follows:
 "The German government protests against the use of shot guns by the American army and calls attention to the fact that according to the law Of war CkriegarechtD every prisoner of war found to have in his possession such guns or ammunition belonging thereto fOrfeits his life. This protest is based upon article twenty-three (E) of The Hague convention respecting laws and customs of war on land. Re ply by cable is required before OctO- Der 1. 1918"

ton on which Germany based its pro test was that fOrbidding the employ ment of arms. projectiles. or materi- als calculated to cause unnecessary suffering
 Officials said the prohibition Is di- rected not against efficiency in killing or wounding or iniuring, but against cruelty and terrorism. Within such prohibited category they said, falls chlorine gas "flammenwerfers" and saw-tooth bayonets used by the Ger mans.
 The shot guns, it was cOntended, is exactly anOloSious to shrapnel shells, discharging a multitude of small bull
 lets or a machine gun discharging a spray of pointed bullets
 Officials said nine bullets are used l in each cartridge in the shot guns and
 that the only instances where a shot gun prOjectile causes more injury Co any one enemy soldier than would a | hit by a rifle bullet are instances
 where the enemy soldier has approach | ed so close to the shooter that he is struck by more than one bullet This. ! like the effect of the dispOsing of bullets from a shTapnel shell it was argued, is permissible either in behalf
 of the greater effectiveness or as an
 unavoidable incident of the use ol small scattering prOjectiles for the necessary purpose of increasing the likelihood of killing a number of en- emies.
 So far as is known here. shot guns
 have been employed by American | troops in France only in police work and in repelling trench raids Of.
 ficers say they have been very effec- tive in meeting enemy attacks be- ! cause they furnish a scattering fire
 at point blank range and the roar of
 them alone is very hard on the morale
 of the troops against whom they are used
 There is a possibility. it was said i that shot guns have been used in mop
 ping up captured trenches. but they
 have not been extensively distributed to the troops abroad. nor do they sup ! plant any other weapon They are viewed by some officers as an answer to the German gas grenades and flame | thrOwers, use of which is specifically forbidden by the generally recognized rules of warfare

Clarkdale. Domingo Salcido and another Mexican were arrested yesteT- day by Deputy Sheriffs Shumaker and Welch and lodged in the Clarkdale jail on a charge of mutilating thrift stamps. These two Mexicans went into the Clarkdale pOstoffice and Ie- quested the postmaster to cash five thrift stamps. The postmaster advised them that they would have to wait ten days 10 get the money. thereupon they became indignant and tore the stamps into pieces, throwing the frag- ments on the floor. The officers were notified and found the Mexicans, ar rested them and carried them to the postCffice where they were identified. They were then lodged iH jail and Commissioner Rutherford of Jerome was notified. They are being held awaiting instructions from the com missioner.
