POLICE RESERVE PROGRAM SHOWS
 CITY PATRIOTIC

For over an hour Friday night 200 cers, and men of the Phoenix Police Reserve listened to an exciting and thrilling story by Sergeant Mitchell of the famous Scottish Seaforth High landers. In the telling of his exper- fences in the worlds great war, he minutely described to tense listeners his entering. the service, the story of his training in England and of the many battles in the front line trenches at the Belgian front. He described the war in all it's details, using as princi- pie illustrations his campaigns in the battle of the Somme and the battle of Nimy ridge.
 It was probably the most accurate and thrilling recital of actual war fare by q most active participant that any Of the men present had ever heard. He described many air battles and the method that a modern army uses in going over the top" He told minute ly of the many styles of guns and shells, hand grenades. and how they were used At one time the sergeant $ life was saved when a bursting shell bent in and badly damaged his steel helmet This put him out of the batsIe of Nimy ridge for only a few days. He was soon back in the battle line of Nimy ridge and at a time when but 600 men were left of his entire regi- ment. He received a hip wound that caused him to be sent back to England. l In crossing the channel on his return, the hospital ship was torpedOed by the ! Germans with the loss of 37 men, the | boat sinking in 13 minutes after being 1 struck.

STEAMBOATS AGAIN
 WILL PLY ALONG
 MISSISSIPPI RIVER

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 20.-Steam- boats that during the days of Mark Twain and since have piled the Mis- sissippi, performing duties not at all commensurate with the rivers s possibilities, are to be put to work to help win the war and will be augmented by boats of modern type; by barges and towboats powerfully propelled and modernly equipped, capable of greatly relieving heavy transportation burdens of the rail- roads.
 A fleet of freight-carrying boats running between New Orleans and St. Louis and on up the river as necessity demands, has been design ed and the federal government has backed the project with millions of dollars. The Mississippi Valley Wa terways Association, representing varied interests throughout the val ley. is exercising general supervision of the project.

HAYNES THINKS REPORTED SALE MERELY A RUM0R
There Has Been No Official Announcement of Sale of Steamers to His
 Company Yet.

A. F. Haines, general manager of the Pacific Steamship Company, commenting upon the Associated Press dispatch received yesterday telling of the sale of the steamers of the Pacific Coast Company to the Pacific Steamship Company, said that the negotiations for the purchase of the vessels have been under way for some time, and several times there had been a rumor that the sale had been consummated Thus far, he said. there had been no of ficial announcement of the sale, and he is somewhat sceptical now that there is more than rumor behind the report.
 The Pacific Steamship Company was formed sometime ago, and was the result of the consolidation of the Pacific-Alaska Navigation Company and the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. The Pacific-Alaska Navi- gation Company turned into the new Pacific Steamship Company the Ad- miral line steamers, which it owned, among it's assets, and the Pacific Coast Steamship Company turned in it's charters of the vessels of the Pacific Coast Company, which 1t was operating, among it's assets. These vessels the Admiral steamers and the old Pacific Coast steamers, are now being operated by the Pa cific Steamship Company. The As sociated Press yesterday announced that the Pacific Steamship Company had purchased outright these vessels of the Pacific Coast Company, and thus is now the owner of all the vessels it operates, both those which it secured from the Pacific Alaska Navigation Company and those whose charters it had secured through the Pacific Coast Steamship Company.
 The vessels the Pacific Coast Company is reported to have sold to the Pacific Steamship Company include the Spokane, City of Seattle, Senator, President, Governor, Queen, Pueblo and City of Topeka

THE SHORT HAUL.

Whenever the railroads fail the
motor car takes up the burden.
With far more business to be done
than ever before, and speed more
than ever essential, the railroads
find that they cannot speed up
enough to carry all the loads. In
consequence the motor truck is be-
ing pressed into service. For short
haul business they have proved
themselves particularly efficient It
is uneconomical to load goods
aboard a truck. haul them to the
railroad station. unload and wheel
them into a shed, wheel them onto
a car, wheel them OFF the car into
a shed, wheel them to a wagon,
load the wagon, haul the goods to
their destination and unload. How
much better to drive them straight
to their destination on the first
truck, where the distance is under
two or three hundred miles and the
roads are possible!
Such Is Uncle Sans attitude and
he has installed a highway trans
portation committee to further
transportation by motor truck. It
is hoped that the majority of the
short-hau business-everything up
to 200 miles-may be handled in
this way. This committee viii also
cooperate with State and national
road commissions in building and
maintaining roads. Here is a move
ment which every motorist should

MORE MOTORS.

Ther are going to be more motor
cars, and the motor car industry will
continue vigorous, because in Ameri-
ca the automobile industy is a busi-
ness necessity. There should be no
uneasiness about the future of the
motor car. The Canadian province,
of Ontario. which has given more Of
men and money in proportion to her
resources than America will be called
to give soon, has more than doubled
the number OF her automobiles since
the outbreak OF the war. She has
done 1t despite the high price there
OF both automobiles and gasoline.
The farmers. the highly-paid me-
chanics and the business men who
have more work to do than before.
find the modern time-saver essential
to wartime efficiency. With greatly
increased incomes they find they can
more than ever afford II.
With a tenth Of our population d.
rectly dependent upon It for support.
with its great work to provide time
saving. efficient transportation, the
motor car industry is ESSENTIAL to our
business structure. The United
states government terms the motor
car a passenger car and recognizes
its use as essential. This year the
demand for motor cars will come
from those who have previously not
been I'm a position to purchase them
Every man who can afford a car
should buy one, for in the rush of
today they are more useful than ever
before.-Milestones.

Movements Dependent on War.
ny BRoADAN WALL.

New York. Jan. s.-It was special
ty day in Wall Street. the big stand
ard stocks having an orderly market
while the specialties made up much
OF their recent panic declines. nearly
all Of them closing materially net
higher.
Much Of this advance, hawever. was
accompanied by inside aid and the
market was not as broad as 1t has
been for several days. There was a
disposition on the part of important
banking interests to be cautious on
the general situation, not because
stocks are not still cheap but because
President Wilson's speech makes 1t
evident that unless there Is a collapse
of the military party In Germany a
long war must be prepared for.
This means big bond issues and the
government at Washington is already
beginning to prepare the way for the
next one. The bankers believe that
It would be a mistake to force the
market higher at this time and prefer
to keep 1t steady in order that 1t may
not suffer when the bond Issues make
their official appearance.
Among the most active and strong
est specialties were American Tobac-
CO, the oil stocks, Distillers, Marine
preferred and some railway equip
ment shares. Stocks well purchased
but not extremely active were Corn
Products and National Enameling.
American Tobacco had an extreme
advance of 10 points for the day and
held most of II. Wall Street believes
that the company has hit upon an
admirable plan for financing its ex-
traordinary cash requirements during
the war.
The new stock that is held to be ex-
changed for the script issued for dlvi-
dends can not be exchanged for three
years. In the meantime, II the war
should end, the stockholders might get
cash for their script and have the
stock as a bonus. And the arrange
ment enables the company to borrow
its working capital from its own
stockholders at 8 per cent.
The tobacco business Is growing
rapidly and especially in those sec
tions of the country where prohibition
has been enforced by law. Stock of
the American Company has not been
exploited by pools and insiders never
care whether the public traded In IT
or not. II Is one of the best exhibits
OF the suggestion frecuCttly made in
this column that tobacco stocks should
never be touched for speculation but
are among the best investments in
Wall Street.
Some western brokers are running
a pool in American Can and are in
timating that there will be a dividend
soon on the common stock. There
will be no dividend on Can this year
because the tremendous contracts en-
tered into by the company call for
many millions more of cash working
capital that the company has and
cash in hand will be conserved for
that purpose.
