Chairman: Committee on Military
Relief: i
General Pershing tells isuusSa that the
hardest thing he has to contend with
is inconsistencies among his men.
An English Ge.ieral has remarked
that their soldiers fight with their
hearts and their feet. = T..
= Our soldier need and will need all
the stockings that the Red Cross can
supply, but we can also fulfill another
great duty for we are now called onto
cure the inconsistencies among sur men
We must let them know personally
that loyal hearts are back of them.
A man cannot fight as a mere atom,
he must be saved from that lonliness
that men suffer when nobody from
home writes them. In every soldiers
heart there is a spot somewhere at
home worth fighting for, and worthy
Of the sacrifices that he is making.
We can at least, preserve that spirit
in the hearts of our men and not al
low their morale to die for the lack of
it.
The Committee on Military Relief
should extend and perfect their organ
ization to take care of this new work,
and see that in every community the
names and addresses of every soldier
and sailor from their district is pro-
perly recorded, and not only locate
people to write regularly to these men
who apparently have no near relatives
or friends, but to impress friends and
relatives Of others che Importance of
making it a regular weekly duty to
send letters, newspaper clippings and
small gifts to certain men assigned
to their care. Every man from your
district must be provided for. It is a
big task but a small duty in this war.
compared to what these men are do
ing. Every Chapter is requested to
proceed with this work at once. Many
of your young men may. be in France
now and it will not be long before
there are many others.
The Importance of this work has
been difficult for us to realize until we
have had brought to US pathetic tales
of fine men who had the qualities of
the very finest soldiers, breaking down
with dependency and even deserving
their posts when the mail distribution
failed to give them any word from
home. A FEW WORDS OF HOME
NEWS WOULD HAVE DONE MORE
GOOD TO THE CAUSE THAN THE
PRESENCE OF THE. WRITER AT
THE FIRING LINE.
Your difficulties in getting the names
of the previous lists of drafts and en-
listments will be greatly saved by
your orgaizing at once to list up the
new draft enlistments in your district.
This is an intensely interesting and
important work and it is earnestly re-
quested that the matter be immediate
ly brought before your Committee
and definite plans be formulated.
A record of this communication is
being retained in this office and we
are expecting and hoping for a prompt
reply as to what action you have tax

GEORGE SIMPSON
 HELD FUR TRIAL

Americans are going across the sea against their will and they are going to get what's coming to them."
 This is the statement Walter Horton testified he overheard George Simpson, teamster make to stranger when the two discussed the war situation in Prescott last February.
 Horton was one of the chief wit nesses for the government at the pre- liminary examination of Simpson held before Frank De Souza. acting United States commissioner yesterday after which the defendant was bound over to the federal grand jury.
 His bond was fixed at S2,O00, which he failed to furnish.
 J. w. Billue also testified to the ef- feet that Simpson stated that the "sol- diers were forced to go" He said that he heard the defendant state that Ger many was right and the United States wrong.
 Simpson was prosecuted for viola ; ton of the espionage act by J. H. Langston, assistant United States at torney. He was represented by counsel and did not cross examine the wit nesses.

NO FURTHER WORD
 FROM MISSING MAN

John Mason Ross of Bisbee of the firm of Ellinwood & Ross, counsel for the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company, was in the city yesterdev on legal business. Speaking of the cable gram from France announcing that Ralph Ellinwood, son of Hon. E. E. Ellinwood was missing. MT. Ross said that no intelligence had since come The last letter received from him bore the date of May 26. He was then with the French army before Soissons. That was the day before the German attack upon that sector.
 The American ambulance corps. of which the young man was a member, had been detached to assist the French at that point. That is probably why his name has not appeared in any of the American casualty lists to date. There is hope that he is yet alive. The German advance on May 27 was so rapid and so deep that many pris- oners must have been taken. In fact, the German reports of the engagement that day stated that a large number of prisoners had been taken.

The truck that will transport America's army supplies is at work Officially, it is known as Class "B' Military Truck, but it's pet name among the army men who like 1t, IS "Truck B."
 It is for use in the Quartermast- CTS department only, but since this department has charge of the trans portation for the army, it means that Truck B" delivers the goods to our fighting forces. It is the heavi- est of the uuartermaster trucks. It has a four-cylinder engine and is capable of carrying from three to five tons.
 Instead of waiting for railroad transportation, the Quartermaster General is detailing officers and men to drive the trucks overland. There are two reasons for this. One is, that it saves badly needed cargo space on the railroads; the other is that the army officers are not only making a test of the trucks but a test of the men who drive them.
 Trucks Travel in Fleets.
 The trucks travel in fleets, now vending their way over different arteries of traffic. The first test run was from Lima, Ohio to Baltimore, Maryland. under the supervision of men from Camps Meade and Devens, who brought twenty trucks across the country without hitch. Not one man in the detachment had even seen one of the trucks until called on to drive it. The officer observers who accompanied the men gave no instructions. Their idea was to see how a detachment of soldiers would handle the trucks when delivered in France. Another fleet is now on it's way from Chicago to Camp Dodge, Iowa. This fleet is made up of six teen trucks.
 Truck B's Tremendous Power.
 The tremendous power of the new trucks. army officers say, was shown by the fact that no hill was reached which they could not climb on "high." Only once, they say, was lowx gear resorted to and that was at a notorious mudhole near East Palestine, Ohio. There, the first few trucks went through on low gear. When it was found that they got through easily on Tow, the others followed on second" In crossing mountains, high gear was used except in rounding turns where the trucks slowed down for safety.
 The entire trip of approximately $50 miles was made in total run hing time of 77 hours and fraction The average mileage was 9ls miles a gallon. The trucks travelled at 6 rate of SO miles a day, the running time being about seven miles ar hour.
 Made By 146 Motor Companies.
 Truck B" is to be the standard heavy truck of the army. It is SC thoroughly standardized that, al though it is being made by 146 diff 7erent motor manufacturing firms every part of every truck, even tC the nuts and bolts, is identical. Il was designed by a committee ot automobile engineers from many
Arizona republican., 1918-06-23

companies who gave their services to the Government free. The engine is a remarkable piece of work, it is said, thoroughly simple and yet pro- ducing tremendous power. Automo- bile engineers pronounce it one of the greatest products of the war.
 The motors division of the Quartermaster Generals Corps of the army has changed the system of shipment of trucks so as to cut off three-fourths of the space required on board ship. A truck, standing, usually occupies 1000 cubic feet of space. Truck B is being taken down at the ports of authorization and packed so it occupies only 250 cubic feet

Registered Nurse.

The many friends of Miss
Jessie Brewer, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. c. j, Brewer, of Ayr
township, recently graduated
from the Joseph Price Surgical
Hospital and Training School for
Nurses, Philadelphia. Later she
took a post graduate course of
six months at the Philadelphia
General, and is now a full fedged
registered nurse. Miss Brewer
went into training three and a
half years ago, and is now doing
private nursing in the Quaker
City. The intense cold weather
of the past weeks has caused
much suffering and inconvenience
in that city by the freezing of
water and gas mains. and the
shortage of fuel. Like many
others, Miss Jessie will soon be
doing service either in canton
ment or foreign field.

Looks Like thirty Cents"

The local exemption board
composed of the president of the
board of county commissioners
Frank M. Lodge; the sheriff Job
L. Garland, and the county
health officer, DR.. j. w. Mosser,
Unexpectedly found out one day
that they had a job on their
hands that very few people would
covet. Their duties being the
examination, selection, and ex-
emption Of the Fulton County
men drafted for service in the
U. S. army. While it is a job
along the line of patriotic SER
vice and sacrifice, it is not one
that wins popularity. Among
other things said about the board
is, that they get big salary. 1t
is only fair to enlighten the
public on this matter.
According to a notice from the
Adjutant General. the pay for
members of local boards shall
be thirty cents for each regis
trant classified. Thusit will give
each member of the local board
of Fulton County about $50 for
their work from December 18th
to the first of February or until
the work of classification is
completed.

The FAMILY MARKET BASKET.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, N. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

On a Saturday morning a poor
woman, with her baby in arms,
was returning from the town to
her home in the suburbs with a
well-filled market basket.
In the electric train were two
extravagantly dressed gentlemen
sitting together, across the aisle
from the woman and child. One
was evidently suffering with a
bad cold, a serious infection,
which the extremely changeable
weather had made very preva.
lent. This sick individual was
ignorant of sanitary laws, as
well as police laws, for he was
splitting the poisonous contents
Of the cough on the floor of the
car. Directly, the two we'll
dressed individuals left the train
at way-station and the woman,
being somewhat crowded with
baby and basket in the seat, di.
vided with another passenger,
moved to the place made vacant
by the two men.
She carelessly placed her bask-
ct on the floor in such a manner
that it took up a portion of the
poisonous sputum. The rest of
the story is easily told.
The basket was carried home
and placed on the kitchen able
where the food to be eaten f>w
would be prepared for the fam,Y.
The sickness Of the baby in arms,
and maybe other members of the
family, can be left to the mag
ination.
To keep well, our foodstuf's
must be kept clean.
