THE FORCE OF PUBLIC SPIRIT


TNIE first year Of Americas participation
in the war was a year Of preparation.
our activity was great, but it was largely
activity of gathering and training our en-
ergies, not activity that infiicts on the en-
emy decisive blow. The first year OF
our war ended when General Pershng fol-
lowed his Here we are. Lafayette" with
his even nobler Here we are Foch. Use
us as you will" The sacrihcial battle in
Picardy. the red tides of that scarlet
Easter which the world will never forget,
have served to bring home to every soul
in this nation the meaning and truth OF
the grave days that lie before us.
No nation or no individual ever rises to
the summit Of achievement until the truth
is known and faced in all its starkness.
During the last year our war preparations,
great as they have been, were below the
possibility of what we might have done.
This was because the burning truth was
not written in the hearts OF many OF our
citizens There were millions who thought
that the severest part Of the war was
over; that peace might come soon mo
one knew just how; that our draft armies
would never see fighting, aud that It
all would end without much shedding of
American blood.
"You shall know the truth, and the
truth shall set you free" We are now
facing the truth and it will liberate the
colossal and still unfocused energies Of
this vast nation. The war is not near an
end; peace is not i'm sight. The hardest
fighting is yet to come. And America shall
school herself TO bear burdens such as
we have never dreamed.
The coming Of victory depends, more
than anything else on one thing on the
intimate realization by every citizen of
what the war means. When every man
and woman bears this war like a burning
coal in his or her business and bosom;
when the air throbs war; when every
other thought and wish are subordinate 20
the speedy winning of the struggle, then
the spirit of the conflict will vibrate in a
noble rhythm through the land. We must
create and consecrate a national Wil-to.
Victory The war must blaze and glow in
every cart.
President Wilson's grave and splendid
speech at Baltimore gives the key to our
to the struggle. We have been "disillu.
stoned" We know now, beyond possibility
Of qubbling or evasion, the brutal and
still unsapped might of the foe. We bear
in the bosom Of this nation a mightier
force STILL but not yet concentrated and
dedicated to the issue 1t is the national
soul which must be touched and Guickened
to a nobler expression than we have ever
conceived
When every American understands that
all our forces of spirit and decision are
granted without reserve to the crisis at
hand; that whether the war lasts two
years or five or ten, it is the future and
glory of the human race that is at stake;
then all else will seem petty beside the
dedication of our souls to this task. 1t
is the public spirit, the soul OF our col
lective will, that backs the ship and the
howitzer and the bayonet Fan that spirit
to an immortal Towering Of flame and tho
war is won. Let every man and woman
dedicate himself anew.
Man Power will be discussed tomorrow.

German force is justification Of the Ger
man resort to arms.
Les, any one be deceived by this sophis-
tication 1t should be said that the En-
tente Allies are fighting to prevent the
rule Of ruthlessness and frightfulness Just
as the traveller in the Russian steppes
would shoot down the wolf pack which at
tackled him The wolves would doubtless
Justify their course by the law Of the pack.

respite from the busy speculation of the

grateful anodyne The hot water and soap.
suds in which your hands are plunged are
a febrifuge, "a sovereign medicament and
recuperative, retracting the blood from the
fatigued or excited brain cells. The mind
wearied by the million twists and turns Of
the day, falls into placid and harmonious
flow, while the hands proceed almost un.
consciously with the gestures of cleansing
and ablution. The merry little routine Of
wringing out the dsh-mop and hanging
it by the back door to air, Of shaking
down the kitchen stove, of chivvying to-
gether the tea leaves and odds and ends
of macaroni or potato or other victuals
that cluster in the grating at the center
of the sink--all these domestic acts are
very soothing. Many a man has Travelled
to the Alps or the Canadian Rockies in
search OF harmony OF soul and sense. He
might have found it in his kitchen sink.

Limit Society
 Is Organized to
 Promote Thrift

Local workers on the thrift cam paisn might do we'll tO follow the ac- tion taken in other parts of the state in organizing a Limit society. a branch of the National Limit society organization.
 A story telling of this action print ed in a northern paper will no doubt prove of interest 10 local people. This follows:
 An Arizona Limit society. a branch of the National Limit society Organiza- ton, has been formed for the promo tion of the thrift campaign through out the state and the Hon. J. W. Sulli- van. dean of Arizona cattlemen. has been named president If the Organiza- tiOn by Secretary or the Treasury Nc Adoo on recommendation of H. R. Tritle, director of war savings in Ari- zOna
 This organization will have for in purpose the supervision of individual efforts in all counties of the state. IL will be the sOciety's duty to secure pledges from as many individuals as possible that they will subscribe their limit to the thrift movement during the present year.
 To become members of this organiz- atiOn. persons must pledge themselves 70 purchase the prescribed limited number of stamps during the year. The treasury department at Washing ton has ruled that no individual shall be permitted to purchase more than $1OO0 worth of thrift stamps and baby bonds during the year. This limit has been fixed because of the desire to make the thrift movement general among all the people of the United States, rather than having a few of the wealthy men of each community purchase thousands of dollars worth Of stamps and thus secure all the ben efits.
 MT. Sullivan is one of the most widely known cattlemen in Arizona and is recognized as an authority on the subject of his business. His ac- Guaintanee among the cattle and sheep men in all the counties of Arizona makes him a valuable asset to the or saniZation that is prompting the thrift movement in Arizona He has been a

 James A Cashion, another promin- ent cattleman and also known as a contractor, will be associated with MT. Sullivan in this big work. Mir. Cashion is recognized as one of the constructive men of Arizona. having been prominent in the upbuild.hg O.: various sections and also prominent in the constructing of several rail roads.
 Vice presidents of the Arizona Linn It society will be named in each county by the state president. Mir. Sul- livan- It will be the duty of these vice presidents to supervise the work in their respective districts.
 Limit societies are beng appointed in each state of the country. Hon. Elihu Root is president of the New York Limit society. and Hon. w. H. Taft holds a similar position in the Connecticut state organization
