ELMER CAVANESS
 WRITES MOTHER
 FR0M OVERSEAS

. A late and interesting letter from one of the Phoenix boys. Elmer Cavaness. to his mother. Mrs. A. R. Cavaness of the Plaza theater. tells about the sol diers life in France. Here is the letter:
 Dear Mother:
 We'll at last am in France. I have been here about six days. I guess you were worried about me for not writing sooner, but we were on the go all the time, so I waited till we got to France before writing. .....-
 We were on the water twelve days, and believe me, there surely were lots of them that were sea sick. It didn't bother me at all one way or other. The boys said that l would make a good sailor, but 1 could not agree with them. think that the land looks best to me.
 We stayed in England three days. While I was there, l ran into Edward Manriques. You remember him, don't you His address is still the same. In England. the sun rises at 1 55 a. m. and sets at 9:14 D. m., and it does not get dark till about II o'clock. It rained all the time we were there. The morning that we left, it was raining We had to hike through the rain for eight miles
 | I am in the military specialist com pany now. but l think that l will be transferred in two or three days to the motorcycle dispatch rider company i We had a try-out yesterday, and made good.
 | This surely is pretty country over | here. Trees and green grass every l where. When we arrived we would stoI i at some small camp day or two and | then move on to the next till We got | here. We are in a town called - 1 We are about - miles from Paris We surely did have some trip all right | We left California and went through
 fifteen states. While l was in New
 Jersey. went to New York That is
 some town alright.
 How is everybody getting along ii

tion. They failed to count on one thing-Italian pride. The Germans made the mistake of clustering north Italy, saying, We come to rescue you from England. We know you are beaten, but we are not going to press it too far. We are going to stop and give you back your borders. Just have patience with us a little while. We will give you back your borders That patronage drove all Italy mad. It was Italian pride that caused Italy to come back.
 l am telling all of those facts to you gentlemen and you ladies from all over the country who are interested in this Americanization. l want to say to every man who goes out through this country, that the German whispering propaganda that was so effective in Italy is laid out among us. In Italy it was carried on by very few agents. In America they have 3,000,O00 or 4,O00,- 600 of very intelligent people, thorough ly capable. who are only too glad to 1 spread anything on tip from central source. l have been having something to do with that game since l have been back here, and I can trace it through rumors. through the apparently spon- taneous reports that spring up in diff ferent parts of the country. just as thorough a scheme of strategy propa- ganda as the Boche used in Italy against the Italians.
 The time may come with us, just eX = actly as it came with Italy. when shey will systematize it and send it out as a preliminary bombardment to break down our American morale. We have got to watch it all of the time. It is lar more dangerous, in my opinion than the spy-that. poisoning of the public mind to undermine the will to win this war
 The reserves had been disaffected in other ways. Their morale was gone and, moreover. here was a little tine point of the drama. Ahead of the charging German regiment there ran Austrians-me who spoke perfect Italian, dressed in the uniform uI Italian staff officers. who rushed into the dugouts and the telephone eX- changes and division headquarters and wherever there was a sign of d command they gave the order for . general retirement. The reserves held it so. and the five German divisions walked through and got in the rear U the gallant Second Army and there was nothing to do. The artillery O. the Second Army-sometimes it take: two or three weeks to get the guns ur to those positions-were cut off iron the rear. The whole Second Army would have been wiped out but fo

You ought to see the cars we rode in. They were box cars just about as big as the regular L. s. box cars. We havc seen some wonderful things on this trip. I saw an old church in England that was over 1900 years old. There were some gerat things in that church. There was one tomb of some great man who died in 1927 and he was buried in the church. Also old painters and others. l have ran into quite few Arizona boys here. You can tell the Phoenix people that the Arizona boys are certainly doing their best oVei here.

Christmas Givinq

The campaign against Christmas giving which has been instituted be too vigorously prosecuted It is not meant that all Christmas giving should be stopped. There the children be remembered war There poor relatives and friends who be aided by useful Christmas gifts which if bestowed under other guse would with them something of humiliation The campaign is directed against indscriminate, habitua Christmas giving the giving merely because is expected to give just as he expects to be given.
 The waste at Christmas is frightful one We should like, of pure curiosity to know what it has amounted to in any Christmas season. People. know it is a waste but they have been slaves to a custom.
 One spends his money with misgivings If he could know that the gift he is bringing is just what his friend wants he would find pleasure in the expen- allure But he is harassed by doubt knowing that the law of chances is infinitely against him that the chances many to that his gift will be a worthless one to the person for whom it is intended Nearly half the money spent Christmas far as the giver or the recipient is concerned might almost we'll be thrown into the ash barrel Perhaps better The man finding 1t would know what do with it.
 When the S. P. L. c. society was formed some five six years ago. the Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving. commended it's purpose which not then intended to abolish Christmas giving but 10 encourage discrimination in giving There was then no such incentive to prevent waste now have The money was. not after all really wasted It went into circulation and it's benefits scattered along the way
 But this year there is need for the judcious ex- penditure of all the money we have. The people must buy things for themselves at higher prices There must be money for the Red Cross the Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. It is essential that every dollar spend for ourselves and friends should De spent where 1t will do the good. We are con- serving wheat. meat. steel. iron rubber wool and of things but nave yet begun the system attic conservation of money which though the root of all evil is the backbone of all without which cannot buy the conserved articles.
 But there will still be Christmas giving the Christmas for the boys at the front We know about what they that in making up boxes there is no. much danger of useless giving.

Glass Legislation

It is to be regretted that the labor leaders opposing the reasonable amendment of Senator Thomas to the power bill When entered the there some msgving in the country as to the attitude labor would take. Some men who had presumed to speak for labor had already manifested spirit of antagonism There was also good deal of socialism in organized labor and it presumed that socialism would be against the
 There were, too, in the early months of par tcipation in the war many strikes which seemed to have German anti government motive They occurred chiefly in shipbuilding and munition plants and in factories engaged in production and casioned a great deal of uneasiness.
 The prominent labor leaders deprecated these outbreaks and urged organized labor to stand by the government. Secretary of Labor Wilson and Mir Gompers advised labor to seek advantage in the time of the nations need and within a months this advice bore fruit and organized labor generally assumed patriotic attitude. The demands of labor. in turn, as to wage and working conditions have gen orally been acceded to. that labor has been prosperous than before. Nowhere is there just complaint of oppression recently only disputes between employer and employe the manner of the division of the spos-the war profits. and such disputes have been bitter.
 The Thomas amendment which has the approval o tie war IS aneQ at likeness generally The labor leaders. Mir. Gompers and Mir. Morrison. observe that strikers brought within range. Both admit in effect that there should strikes this time and both have guaranteed far they can, that there will be But they do legisla tion by which strikers may be excepted from the operation of the law. They would, doubt. agree that government should legisate against volun- tay ideness but both insist that strikers shall be left favored class of iders Here is class legislation against which organized labor has always nveighed
 There similar exemption in favor of strikers in the antioafng bill which introduced into the legislature of this state last May but enacted into law. Under the of it the bill would have been wholly ineffective. Any under such legisa- ton could quit work following dispute with his m- ployer and successfully resist make him work.
 Without such legislation the Thomas amendment there be nothing than a sporadic enforcement of the work fight order and with it there be hardship the who wants to work He has a standing guaranty of just treatment. If he has genuine grievance against his employer, the government is in the business of adjusting such grievances and is diligently attending to it.
 The thing doubt to which the labor leaders affront to institution-the strike.

The End of the War

General March in predicting that the war will end in 1919 is bolder and more outspoken than any military authority in Great Britain and France The experts of those countries have agreed only that the war will end when it ends Long since they quit fixing the year termination. The prediction of General March would carry with it much more con- solation if his and other Washington forecasts of lesser military events in the future had been accurate.
 The statement of General March rests on the as sumption that we shall have 4OOO 900 the west crn front year. We perhaps easily do that barring difficulties which cannot be foreseen. We can have the beyond a doubt and Mir. Schwab says have the shipping to transport them and the supplies The factories they are now carried under business and military political mana cement ought to be able furnish the needed equipment.
 There seems reasonable doubt that the Ger will be forced out of France and Belgium next year but not much be accomplished in that direc ton before next year We must not forget that the territorial position of the Germans is considerably stronger tSan it year this time and the son within which either side make extensive gains in 1918 is nearly ended So assuming that the prog 1ess the allies 1919 will be uninterrupted. there will still be the Rhine. beyond France and Belgium.

Then, finally, there is another thing, although this whole story. of course, Will never be told until long after the war. Outgoing letters from the war zone are very carefully censored. In- coming letters from their own people are not so carefully censored. because after all what the censor is after is 10 prevent the escape of military in- formation. and military information is not coming from the rear forward Moreover. the letters were censored in small units, so that this coincidence was not noticed until afterwards. Just day or two before this attack. about one half or one third of the married men in those two divisions in the Italian army received letters or post cards, usually anonymous. from home towns. telling them that their wives had been unfaithful, and naming the alleged man who was responsible for it, all of which was absolutely untrue. Simply done to put that fellow in such state that he didn't give a darn for anything. He only wanted to go home and kill that brute. That was the last thing that was done.
 Then, one morning when everything was ready, when the Italian army was talked out as they wanted it, the blow was struck. The night before. these Austrian regiments were taken out, leaving only a thin fringe in the front trenches to distract attention. and crack German shock regiments were 1 put in their places. Five divisions of them were there. and early that morn | ing, with no other preparation than was necessary to remove the barbed wire, came over the top and went 1 through them.
 This was a front somewhere between 15 and 20 miles; not a front so long as you can say every one acts the same way. There were active divisions here and there. but in the main, the Italians behaved according to agreement. They rose up in their trenches and said ] Comrade." and were very much as- tonished when "Comrade' did not stop at all but went on through and struck the reserves.
