LAST TRIBUTE
 PAID SOLDIER

The funeral of Arthur Hahn, who died recently at Camp Lewis, took place yesterday morning from the chapel of Moore & Mcclellan. The ser vice of the Episcopal church was read by Bishop Atwood and Dean Scarlett. On account of the illness of Mrs. Hahn the services were made as brief as possible and at the grave a salute was fired by the police reserves Of which he had been a member before his de- parture for the officers training camp.
 The profusion of floral offerings was a mark of the estimation in which the dead young man was held in Phoenix. His was a life of extraordinary prom ise He had grown to manhood here and had already come to occupy high place in social and business life. At the university he was president of his class. He was member of the Ari- zona, the Country, and the Bachelors clubs and was secretary of the Arizona Fire Insurance company of which his father the late George Hahn was one of the founders.
 Some months ago he put business aside and offered his services to his country. the thing that those who knew him best expected him to do.

ing reserves. I firmly believe that ev- Q V man who is fit to be on the firing ] ne should be there, regardless of any D p.rsonal, considerations. Do not blind yourselves to the one great fact: It is or war over here as much or more 1 an it would be on our own coasts, and We are fighting, not only for America, b 1t for the very rock foundations Of .vilization and liberty. Under the cir
 umstanceS, my frank and fervent o1inion is that any man who honestly wants to stay in America in draft c mp when he is eligible and fitted to be over here is a coward or worse 1 lis is, of course, no disparagement to the ones allotted to do so. Lord knows, hate fighting and hate war, the more so since I have seen some of it's work, but l remember, and we all must re- member, this:-f a premature peace is made, or a peace which does not in ev- cry detail satisfy our war aims and crush German militarism forever-we have failed, and the whole thing will come back again!
 This is a pretty stiff tirade, I grant you, but I am making it purposely as
 strong as 1 can, for 1 want to impress you with the absolute necessity of put
 ting all thoughts of personal desires
 aside till the war is won. After the
 success, we shall reap the fruits, but
 first must come the success. Don't
 think for moment that I don't appre-
 ciate how pleasant it would be to be near you all in America, but the very
 fact that do appreciate it makes me
 all the more glad am over here. So you see, it's a case of "earry on"
 with determination, and never allowing
 discouragement to creep in, for us.
 Then we'll win the war by the only way that can impress the Germans. military victory, and then-well, then I'll be glod to get home.

ROTAR|ANS HEAR FINE TALKS AND
 ELECT OFFICERS

Three highly appreciated guests of honor at a largely attended meeting yesterday of the Rotary club were Dwight B. Taylor. Glenn Patton, a flying cadet, and Guy Manners, bril- liant talker, who is intensely interested in the war. Guy Manners made one of the most effective talks that the Rotary club has ever heard. He was in Berlin two days before formal decla ration of war in 1914. He has been both before and since the war, a close student of all international matters pertaining to the great war in Europe. He has lost some of his nearest rela- tives in the conflict his brother in- law one Of the first aviators to become famous, was finally killed after bring ing down sixteen German aeroplanes. His narrative was intensely instruc- tive and touched upon his personal contact with the ruling powers in Ger many and Great Britain at the out break of the war.
 The other was Dwight B. Taylor, of the quartermasters corps holding a position of seargeancy. He is the son Of Rotarian Leslie Taylor.
 Glenn Patton proved to be excep- tionally interesting. He explained in detail many interesting phases of ae- roplane training. He quickly and clearly answered many questions, all 1 indicating that he had an exceptionally thorough knowledge of the technical clements learned by the soldiers in aero corps.
 The feature of the day was the annual election of officers. Presiden. Cnristy and Secretary Shedd sprung q big surprise in the clever stunts staged in connection with the election In fact a regular election was bur- lesqued to the smallest detail. Regl- lar election ballots. election officials chalk lines. speeches and all were in- dulged in.

M. Atwood, state engineer. havlng reached there last Thursday on ms Way to1a good roads convention at Little Rock, Arkacsas.
 According to word received in Phoe- nix, the convicts did not like the action or the officials in removing some of the guards, particularly Mccullough. the captain of the guards, and drew up an ultimatum in which they are said to nave reused to work unless McCul- tough was reinstated.
 Matters grew worse. it is stated. and there was general alarm in CIiftop Governor Hunt was advised that a nos siple mutiny of convicts and an at- tempted escape was feared. Sheriff slaughter was notified to secure suffi- cient guards and hold them in readi- ness to prevent any attempted out break. Later, it is said, reassuring in : formation was received, and the sheriff was notified that his assistance would not be needed.
 There were two camps of convicts building the road out of Clifton, one near that town occupied by the homo, convlcts, and another farther out fo, the other class of convicts The latest word received from the road camps i.
 that all is quiet. Mir. Ladd has gont 10 the scene to find out for himself jus
 what the matter is and where the
 trouble lies. Word received in Phoeni,
 IS to the effect that Mccullough ha.
 been reinstated as captain of tht

WHY AMERICANS
 ARE IN .IHE WAR

T, the Editor of The Christian

 1 am inclosing to you a letter from al American soldier on the French i ont, believing that you will find his point of view well worth offering to 1 Jur many readers. His letter follows:
