MIR. DOUGLAS SAILED FOR
 FRANCE ON SATURDAY LAST

Ft was learned here today that J. S. Douglas of Douglas, sailed on Satur day last for Paris, France, where he goes to resume his work, as director of stores for the Red Cros in that country. When he left New York the news of the signing of the terms of the armistice had not been announced but it is supposed that the vessel he was on received the glorious news by wireless.
 The Red Cross had established a great system of distribution of SUD- plies in France from Paris and vast amounts of these supplies of every kind are now housed in the French capital. This must all be cared for and disposed of before the duties of the Red Cross in France will end so it is problematica1 when the time will come for the return of Mr. Douglas to his home in Douglas, along with W. H. Brophy, Tom Collins, and L. J. Owens, of Morenci, and others from the southwest who joined in the Red Cross work in the department placed in the hands of MT. Douglas.

CHAIRMAN DRYSDALE |S CONFIDENT 0F
 SUCCESS

As the Copper Era goes to press this week, with tree more working days remaining before the end of the
 War Work Campaign, George R. Drys- dale, Greenlee county Chairman, is confident that Greenlee county will not only fill it's minimum quota but will also raise the fifty per cent ad- ditional when the final reports have been received from the workers.
 The campaign to raise Greenlee's county's quota has been carried on in an enthusiastic and thorough manner. The response has been liberal and as usual and to have been expected the women played a very important part in the success of the undertaking.
 It is gratifying to learn over the wire from Phoenix that Arizona was one of the First three states in the Union to report to headquarters in New York City that it's minimum quota had been filled and the fifty DOT cent additional was in sight.
 Norman Carmichael, General Man. ager of the A. c. Co. Ltd, in his ca pacity as State Chairman, organized the campaign in Arizona and during the drive of the present week has r.aintained his headquarters in Phoe- nix
 A telegram to the Copper Era from the publicity chairman in Phoenix, received on Friday morning, states hts,t Arizona, by fulfilling it's minimum quota had already earned an honor hut at the front and the effort was being made to secure an oversubscrip- tion of fifty per cent thus entitling Arizona to second honor hut.
 AS was to be expected the large subscriptions came from the big industrial enterprises of the state. The corpora tions contributing more than thousand dollars each, were: Ray Consolidated ...... $35, coo Phelps Dodge ............... 1000 Standard Oil .-......... 10000 Magma Copper Go. ....... 10000 United Verde ................ $500 Miami Copper Go. .......... 7,500 Inspiration Copper Go. ...... 7,500| Ariz.
