occasions both thrills and admiration,
but it also depicts the Battle Behind

task of supplying the men at the front
with the things required to keep
them fit and the ammunition and
other supplies that the most costly
war in all history demands. The

MANY AMERICANS NOT
ENTIRELY SATISFIED

London March 29.-Referring to
Premier Lloyd Georges urgent appeal
to the United States for men. as sent
through the Earl of Reading, British
high commissioner, the Daily Mail
says: +
This nation and its allies must be
prepared for another month, or per-
haps two months of continuous fight
ing. To meet the stupendous efforts
and evident desperation of the enemy
our efforts ands those of our allies
must be on an equal scale"
The newspaper then briefly sums
up Americas effort since entering the
war nearly year ago and continues:
with this record many Americans
are by no means satisfied. 1t hurts
them to think that in this battle of
battles they are not playing a great
part. We think their self-reproaches
exaggerated but undoubtedly the Ger
man offensive will not have been

to concentrate On the problems of

In two days of work in the face of the new shoot the vein had not shown the least indication of pinch ing out, but on the contrary was widening as it was being opened.
 This strike is reported as by far the most important ever known in copper in that field, considering depth and development given. The Little Egypt is situated only mile from Mayer toward the Binghamp- ton, and is a new movement, financ- ed by Prescott and Jerome people. So encouraging is the outlook for bring ing in another copper for that al ready famed field that the incor- porating Of the property has taken place, the charter from the corpora ton commission having been issued.

 o'clock yesterday evening, her de- mise having been caused by double pneumonia, which had developed from an infection of the influenza. Miss Weber was taken i'll several days ago at her home at the Dr.
 Roper residence, but was not taken to the hospital until Wednesday af- tcrnoon.

 Miss Weber was 26 years of age at the time of her death, and came to Prescott in September at the open ing of the 1918 term of the high school. Her parents. Mir and Mrs. C. H. Weber, are residents of Stanta Ana, California.

She is expected to arrive here this after noon. The notice of the girls de- mise was wired to the father yester- day evening. and he is also expected 10 come here about Saturday.
 Miss Weber was one of the most popular and highly esteemed young ever connected with the local . nigh school organization During he Liberty Loan and while the pub lie schools were dismissed on account of the influenza epidemic, she had devoted most of her time to aiding he women's committees. and was seized with the fatal illness at about
