Governor Hunt Issues an
 Appeal for United Effort
 in the Allies Blackest Hour" in War Services

Three proclamations, all relating to the war, were issued yesterday by Gov ernor Hunt One calls attention to the floating of the third Liberty loan which will be begun on April which, says the proclamation brings to our atten- ton the necessity for complete mobiii- Zation of our financial resources. The response to the first two loans in Ari- zona was highly gratifying and splendid testimony to the organization that directed the work. But those or ganizations untiring as they are, can not achieve the fullest measure of suc- cess without cooperation from every individual
 The date of the floating of the third Liberty loan is coincident with the first anniversary of the war which the gov ernor in another proclamation desig- mates as a holiday. In this proclama- tion the governor says:
 In the BIackest Hour
 "Let us make this or some sim
 liar slogan our creed for April 6.
 We should not make this day hol
 iday: there have been too many
 workless days already. It is
 strongly urged, however, that in
 places of business, schools and
 wherever else people gather, there
 shall be brief period during the
 day when we pledge anew our al-
 legiance to the government. Those
 of our citizens-and to their shame
 they were not few-who, ever since
 our entry into the war, have had
 some faith in the German govern
 ment now stand aghast at the be-
 trayal of Russia. If since that
 latest crime of crimes, there is an individual in this country who still believes any good can come from the present German government,
 there is but one place for that in
 dividual-the internment camps or prison.
 "This is the allies bIackest hour.
 One fact stands out above all oth-
 CTS: AMERICA MUST WIN THE
 WAR. The time has long since
 passed to ask: Are you doing your
 bit? ARE YOU DOING YOUR
 UTMOST?
 Appeal to School Children
 The third proclamation is addressed to the school children of the state as follows:
 April sixth marks the first anniver- sary of America's entry in the war. It will appropriately be known through out the country as National Win the | Saturday I am asking that the schools observe Friday, the fifth. We should not make this day a holiday; there have been too many workless days al ready. It is strongly urged, however that in the schools there shall be . period during the day when we pledge anew our allegiance to the government The Third Liberty Loan will be in augurated on April sixth. This offers an excellent opportunity to express oul allegiance in the concrete terms o1 dollars and cents.
 To the school children and all stu dents of Arizona, I would point ou' that there are far greater ways Oi showing allegiance than by the learn ing of patriotic songs and poems. Wt should all study the real meaning. the American meaning. of democracy as i opposes the German idea of autocracy and militarism. We know now thai this should have been done long be. fore we actually entered the war an( the end of the war must not end sucf teachings. REAL DEMOCRACY! tha is our slogan for the future generation and there will be no real democracy until there is a lasting PEACE. UNTIL AMERICA WINS THE WAR. And art you dOing-not your bit-but your UT , MOSTi Are you foregoing part o your amusements to buy War Saving Stamps and Liberty Bonds? Are yo, giving up sweets that the children o , France may have food to sustain thei | lives? Are you a member of the Jun for Red Cross? If you cannot answe , yes to these questions, make April fiftl the day of new resolutions.
