 Combating Unpatriotic Action.

Governmental departments; furnishes individuals, schools and other institu tions with literature on war activities; supplies accurate information concern ing war relief, enlistment in Army and Navy reserve officers training camps, etc.; combats seditious propaganda throughout the United States and pro- notes agitation for universal service. The committee is conducted with the purpose of service to the Government, and to all patriotic societies and their constituent members.
 Then there is a more purely indi- vidual side to the work. A loyal American woman out on a ranch in Montana, as far from societies na- tional or local as she is from trans portation facilities, feels the stir of patriotism, and desires to place at the disposal of the nation her three or four spare hours each day. Or it may be a school teacher grown gray with hard service in the public insti- tutions in North Dakota, but with a savings fund sufficient for the needs i of a modest future. She would give her services as secretary for a war i relief society could she but get in touch with the right organization. | Again, it may be hale and hearty veteran of the Civil War, who, resid- ing in a remote section of the coun- | try, feels the blast of the bugle and would lend his strength to the cause could he be put in touch with the proper agency.
 How To Serve.
 How can we best serve our native land in its hour of need ?" is the query of thousands of loyal and willing sub

70 HE COUNTRY has grown rich in A patriotic organizations since the
 war started in Europe. Many " of them have accomplished con crete war work of untold value. As natural result of many organizations, with the same purpose and end in view, there has been much duplica- ton of effort, overlapping of work and consequent waste for lack of coopera- ton, coordination and mutual under Standing.
 The idea came 10 a number of men prominent in national affairs that a bureau or committee should exist which would serve as a clearing house of patriotic organizations. The result of due consideration was that such a clearing house was established in Washington under the name of Ma tional Committee of Patriotic Socie- ties, composed of representatives of forty-four important national pa triotic societies which are in connec- tion with and support the central or sanization. Tne honorary chairman of the committee is Lieutenant Gen. eral S. B. M. Young, U. s. A, retired; chairman, George Wharton Pepper, of Philadelphia; executive secretary, Will liam Mather Lewis.
 National Committee \ Clearing House.
 The purpose of the National Com mittee of Patriotic Societies is to as- sist in the coordination of the work of national preparedness and patriotic service carried on by various organ izations in the United States. To ac eornplish this end the National Com n1ittee acts as clearing house be tween the various societies and the

IVY ARFARE TO ANY EXTENT cannot be carried on with AA out the use of temporary w bridges for the transportation Of, troops and other military equip ment. The operations of an army re- quire the movement of soldiers and implements of warfare over rivers and streams, which are too deep and broad for wading. These rivers and streams must be crossed at places where there are no permanent structures and bridges. Where the crossing could be had at places where there were bridges, the latter having been de- stroyed as military necessity thus rem Gering these temporary expedients necessary. These bridges have been used in military operations for cen turies, in fact, as far back as history records.
 Early History.
 The pontoon bridge in which the roadway is carried on floating sup ports and the fixed bridge, whose sup ports rest on or are driven into the bed of the stream is the earliest bIIuS6 huOWu III WdfIare ana was mentioned by Homer, 500, B. c. It is recorded that Cyrus King, of the Per sians, had a bridge of this type built about 536, B. C., the pontoons being made from skins stuffed with straw or some other bouyant material. In 510, King Darius, ruler of the Per sians, constructed a bridge of boats or pontoons across the Danube to fla cilitate his operations against the Scythians, and in 493, B. C., he again made use of the pontoon bridge in crossing the Bosphorus, during his in vasion of Thrace, at a point where it was three thousand feet in width. This bridge must have been a substantial structure, in that it provided a pas sage for an army of 6O0,OOO men.
 Thirteen years later .Xerxes, the son of Darius, laid a double pontoon bridge across the Hellespont or Dar- danelles, which divides Europe from Asia. According to Herodotus, the bridge was about 1000 yards in length and was destroyed by Q storm shortly after it's construction, History tells us that XerXes was so angry over the catastrophe that he had it's builders executed and then "scourged the wa ters of the Hellespont with rods and blasphemous words" After a days wrath he must have come to the con-

In this connection, Mr.. Hansen
was very glad to state that the
B ank Of Northern Arizona,
Snowflake, was in full sympathy
with the move and doing all it
could to assist in the matter.
Mr.. Hansen made this comment
because he had noted that some
banking institutions are not
showing any disposition to help

for the benefit of the farmers.

both afternoon and night per-

200 Women Volunteer
For Police Reserves

About 200 women, between the ages
of eighteen and thirty five, last night
volunteered for the Women's Police
Reserves of New York City, after Po-
lice Inspector John Dwyer, aid to Dep
uty Police Commissioner Rodman Wan
amaker, had explained to them at police
headquarters the functions of police
women. About 400 women were pres
ent at the meeting.
Inspector Dwyer told The women that
the heavy drain on the regular police
force, made by the draft, compelled
the city to appeal to civilians for as
sistance and that women could do their
share in this patriotic work He said
that already 600 policewomen had en-
listed or had been drafted. and that
their places had not been filled from
the waiting list.
Women, Inspector Dwyer said, could
make themselves extremely useful in
looking after such police business as
congested fire escapes, violations of
governing the setting out of garbage
CAM and similar work. He said the
womeL volunteers would receive ply
sical and other instruction twice week
ly. The volunteers, he pointed out,
would be in position to study for
civil examinations for women's posts
in the department, such as the posi-
tions Of police matrons and police
clerks.
Both Deputy Commissioner Wana-
maker and Inspector Dwyer remarked
that the women who attended last
nights meeting were of an especially
fine type, and all seemed much inter
ested in, the proposed work.
