A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and Is already making special
efforts to care for their Increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
Of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and

The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the

work there. The moment the German

ARIZONA PLANS
SPECIAL DRIVE
FOR ". 5. STAMPS 5

PHOENIX, Dec. 28.-Over half of
the counties in the state are planning
special campaigns for the last week
III the year in order to try and reach
the year just closing. Figures for the
the year just closing Figues for the
first part of the month indicate that
outside of one or two counties invest
ment in War Savings Stamps has been
rather poor
Selim J. Nicholson, postmaster at
Phoenix, through whose department
most of the balance of the state clears
it's w. S. S. reports, states that up to
today the reports from counties out
side of Maricopa have been far from
encouraging. In fact, in several coun-
ties the proportionate work done SO
far this month is about the poorest
of the year.
This condition is accounted for from
the fact that several counties are
planning to expend their great effort
the last week of the year and from
the further fact that it is the holiday
season, when people are thinking of
Christmas. This is a reminder that
many people also made gifts of Baby
Bonds and Thrift Stamps for Christ
mas which is expected to help out in
the final weeks report of business.
If all of those who have given writ
ten pledges to purchase during the
year certain specified amounts of War
Savings Stamps would now make
good, the state would still have a
chance to reach it's quota. 1t is a
rather sad commentary that Arizona,
which was the thirteenth state in w.
S. S. standing per capita last June, is
now down in twenty-second position
in the list and may finish even farther
below the top unless there is a big
effort the last week of 1918.

WAY BEHIND IN
VS.. 5. CAMPAIGN

PHOENIX, Dec. 27.-With only
three more business days in the year,
most of the counties in the state are
making special effort to secure invest
ors in War Savings Stamps in suffi-
cient amount to bring Arizona up to
quota for the year. Exact figures at
this time are lacking, but even with
the hard work done in several OF the
counties so far this month, it is known
that more money will have to be In
vested in Baby Bonds in the three re-
naming business days than is usually
expected to be invested in an entire
month if the War Savings Stamps
quota for the year is to be reached.
Yavapai county is the only one
which has reached quota. Maricopa
county, which had an intensive drive
to reach quota last week, is about
$4,000 behind the needed total for
the year AS soon as the Red Cross
Christmas Roll Call is out Of the way,
Maricopa county will again undertake
a strong campaign to reach it's quota.
Some of the counties are severely
handicapped by recurrence of the
influenza, but in most of the state the
epidemic condition is so greatly im-
proved that there are scores of work
ers able to take the field for last
dash for the sale Of War Savings
Stamps as against one worker who
could be counted upon but few
weeks ago.
If all those who have given pledges
to buy definite amounts of w. s. s.
by January 1 would make good their
promises, Arizona would now be pref
ty nearly successful in reaching quota.
If it does not reach quota, it will be
the first patriotic campaign since the
war started in which the Baby State
has scored failure.

~In assuming the office of secretary
of the treasury, 1 desire to say few
words to the American people, and
particularly to the splendid organiza-
ton of men and women whose unset
fish labors, under the leadership of
my great predecessor, have made the
story of our war finance one Of the
most glorious chapters in the history
of Americas part in the war;
Millions of Americans have con-
tributed in the most vital, tangible
and necessary way to the winning of
the war They have loaned their dol
lars to their country with no small
sacrifice of personal comfort and en-
i joyment, and have given largely of
personal effort and service. For all
time we have disproved the slander
that Americans are a money-loving
people, incapable of rising above ma
terialistic things. In the eighteen
short months of the war American
people subscribed for eighteen billion
dollars of Liberty Bonds and War
Savings certificates.
'The banking institutions and the
people of the country financed the re-
quirements of the war in anticipation
of the Liberty loans and of the taxes
for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1918, by the purchase of a total of
$500, 100000 of treasury certificates

by the military authorities in the act

According to the officials, one of the

victs were travelling was stocked with
enough canned goods and the like to
provision the party for at least two
weeks.
The women in the party do not ap-
pear to take the matter seriously, and,
according to one of the officials, the
kidnapping scare is absolutely with
out foundation, because upon the ar
rival of the officers on the scene to
take the party into custody and hand

Emmett Mcdaniel and ]. C. Wun-
der, two TRUSTEES at the state peniten-
tiary at Florence, escaped in a pesli
tentiary motor car last Monday night
Almost Immediately after escaping,
they were thought to have kidnapped
Laura Foreman, II years old, daugh.
ter of Arthur Foreman, rancher near
Florence. 1t was also thought that
the three were later met at an agreed
point by Phoenix woman. The pres
ence of McDaniels' brother in the par
ty was not suspected.
After the escape and kidnapping it
was generally conceded the convicts
were on their way to the border, and
were Immediately pursued by several
possess Their trail was first discov-
cred by means of a note dropped by
the Kidnapped girl from the speeding
motor car. The search was unsuc-
cessful so long, however, that yester
day it was generally conceded the con-
victs had made good their escape.
Who Grace Barnes of Scottsdale is
is not known at present, the first sup
position being the second woman in
the party was Grace Lands, United
States prisoner at the Pima county
jail
| The report from Douglas that the
Foreman girl kidnapping was farce
gives weight to the report Thursday
night that she was a willing party to
the affair; at least until she found
! they were headed for Mexico. She
has been already married and di-
vorced.
Concerning the episode the Arizona
Gazette says:
The kidnapping" of Laura Fore
man, referred to in press dispatches
as II years Of age, by two convicts of
the state penitentiary and the flight
in company with another woman in
the direction of the border, has con-
tributed much to the town gossip Of
Florence and given something out Of
the ordinary to the residents of that
village, who thought that the list Of
unexpected things on the part of "hon-
or" prisoners had about been ex-
! hausted
These favored felons, who wear
civilian clothes, live in the town in as
comfortable quarters as they are able
to pay for, dine at the hotel and res
taurants with the other guests, attend
the town dances and mingle on terms
of equality, if not superiority, with
the plain, ordinary citizens of respect
ability, have contributed much to the
excitement of Florence, and that viii
lage is never permitted to be dull
through any oversight or negligence
on the part of it's "honored' guests.
The latest affair, however, is decid-
edly out of the ordinary, as might
have been expected, when two of the
principals come from Phoenix with
regulations for daring and risque ac-
complishments second to none.
