 Dear Sir:
 Appropos of the third Liberty Bond campaign, there are many reasons why 1 it should be decided success, and the people of America especially those Of Arizona, saould not lessen in any de- gree, the spirit of patriotism that should go hand in hand with the cam l paign now on.
 | One of the foremost reasons for it's success is that it will insure confi- dence among the battle scared ranks Of our allies now engaged in the strug- gle of death before Amiens on the plains of Picardy, and south Of the | Somne, for when the news is carried to | their serried ranks that America is still behind them in their fight, they will renew their efforts to win with a l greater degree of valor and strength. 1 Second. It will inspire greater de- gree of efficiency and confidence in the workers of America, and the ship builders, manufacturers, and all branches of business now in operation, connected with the vital parts that form the foundation for the ultimate | SuSctSS QI tHiS war, NutH tuty 1uuy realize that the people of this nation are determined to fight to a finish and are back of everything that pertains to the war.
 Then again, the paramount reason to my mind why we should contribute and contribute until victory is achieved, is that if we but bend our hearts to the wind that brings from over the seas. the sound of the battles strife, we can hear the cannons roar, We can hear the shells as they burst among the ranks of our men, we can hear the shrieks and the groans of those, our sons, perhaps, or a husband, or sweet heart, as they fall in agony upon the stricken ground.
 Hark. You can hear their moans as they writhe in pain. Let your eyes wander for a moment to this horrible scene, you can see stalwart youth in his noble manhood, lying there amid others in the same condition, wounded and perhaps ready to die, if assistance is denied him, through lack of prep aration or efficiency on the part oi his people at home. But look closer you can see the eyes now distorted with pain, yet. turned with a look oi supreme confidence, toward the Amer ican nation for help which he knows will come. Shall that help be denied Shall we see those men, our men, whC are fighting our battles for the greatest cause that a nation ever engaged in the spreading of the spirit of democ- racy throughout the World,'' suffer ir the least degree, when it takes so littl, an effort on our part to assuage theil pains and hold intact the sublime confidence they place in us. Almight, God forbid, that such a condition vii ever exist among our people upon tn, battle fields of France or in any othe battlefield. Let us then hold the con fidence among our boys lover there, let us hold their love and appreciation for those at home, by bending ever, effort to meet every emergency tha may be thrust upon us until the las armed foe expires, or until the star and stripes shall wave over the Ger man empire. Gird on your arnour men and women of Arizona, and worl lncessently for the success of the thir, Liberty loan, and your efforts will b olest and held sacred by America noble boys who are fighting "oye there and who will in time bring th laurels of victory and lay them witt honor at your feet.
 DAN ROSE.
