Irish Parliamentary Party have iden- tified themselves with the recruit ing campaign, but the party as a whole, has held aloof.
 Side by side with the operations of the recruiting council, Colonel Lynch, member of parliament, is conducting crusade of his own with the view of organizing a brig ade which he hopes to command Colonel Lynch fought on the side of the Boers against Great Britain, but his feelings towards the present war have led him to lay aside all racial feeling and come out on the side of the Allies.

RED GROSS WORK IS COMMENDED
 BY NENANA|1E

Writing to friend in Nenana from Camp Meigs, Washington, D. C., Asa Pittock, formerly store keeper at the A. E. C. store at Nenana Crossing (43-mile) tells of the nice treatment received at the hands of the Red Cross on his way across the continent from Seattle to Washington, D. C. His letter, in part is as fololws:
 Just word about the work in this country being Gone by the Red Cross and the benefits I have re- ceived through the Red Cross work CTS.
 From Seattle to this city, clear across the continent, we boys were treated royalty, especially in Spo- kane, Wash. At most of our stops we were given refreshments, flowers, cigarettes, chewing gum, etc. Here in the capital city they are doing a great work, and believe me, if the folks up North could only be in our shoes for while they could see how much help this society is to the boys away from hom There are rest rooms like the one I am in now, where stranger can drop in and write a letter and many other places, too numerous to men, tion.

IRISH RECRUITING

Ireland soon may become a patch work quilt" of conscription districts and non-conscription districts, ac- cording to members of the Irish re- cruiting council, whose allotted time for raising 5O,00O volunteers as an alternative to eonscriptfon, is draw ing to a close, with the allotment as yet unified.
 The council, which is composed of five freshmen, representing all par ties, has divided the country into ten districts, reports an Associated Press correspondent, with a quota for each, has arranged with the . government that in districts which fill their quotas, conscription will not be applied, even though the total of volunteers falls below the required 5O,000 men.
 It is generally predicted that some of the districts will fall far short of their quotas. And there, con scription is expected to be inaugu- rated, even at the cost of. resistance.
 The objection of many young Irishmen to entering the army, and the traditional Irish hostility to the war office is being met by recruit ing agents by pointing out the spe- cial attractions to the Royal Air Force. This service is not under control of the war office, and it has the added advantage of having many nonfighting positions.
 Political feeling runs high, how ever, and the class of young men, who make the best soldiers, the ''missle troops, are not volunteering in large numbers.

NEGRO TROOPS EAGER ID FIGHT
 IN FRONT LINE

WITH THE AMERICANS.-The American negro soldiers in France are source of never-ending interes. and amusement to the French, who do not tire of watching and listen ing as they wield picks and shovels and chant as they work in a wierd minor key.
 They have shown a fearlessness amounting to almost utter indiff- erence-if their white officers are with them, carelessness where per sonal danger is involved that is at once amazing and sometimes annoy ing to the officers, and desire to fight that amounts to a mania.
 The American negro soldier. in the words of a colonel who com mands a regiment of them and has for years known a good deal about their characteristics, is very close to a fatalist when it come to fear. Repeatedly his own troops bandy remarks among themselves, the gist of which is about as follows:
 Don't worry about that shell, Rastus. It ain't got your number on it."
 And the shell screams by, the negroes who believe it had not their number stand idly around and ex- pose themselves as they should not. The colonel frankly admits being afraid when big shells are flying about, and seeks cover.
 The first regiment which went into action. long ago now, went in primarily because it threatened to decimate itself in inactivity. Razors and knives came more and more freely into play, and the men de- manded so frequently and so in- sistently of their officers why they Might not get some action that it was finally arranged for them They proved quite as strenuous fighters in the line as they had behind it.
 It goes without saying that the negro soldier is as boastful as any in a similar profession. The Marines had just covered themselves with glory in the Chateau ThieI~y fight when delegation from a negro regiment in line ip quiet sector waited on the commanding officer and asked if they too might not get in on the fun"
 Let us go in, colonel" they said. "We are the only real fighters. The Marines are all right, of course. but just let us have a whack at the Boche. Then the Marines won't be in it. And as Cor the rest, Lord they don't count at all"

GERMANS USED MOVIES
 ID HELP OUT ATTACKS

WITH THE AMERICANS-Be- fore going into battle German sol diers in certain instances are shown moving pictures of the country thru which they are supposed to pass dur ing proposed advance.
 Information reached the American officers recently that moving pie lures had been put on the screen for the benefit of the Germans who took part in the offensive which started July 15 in the Marne coun- try, the pictures showing certain stretches of land so as to familiarize the advancers with the terrain. Some of the wooded districts and fields shown on the films were never reached by the Germans owing to the counter attack of the French and Americans, which began on the morning of July IS, completly up- setting the German plans.

LONDON.-Twenty pounds of quinine has just been shipped by the American Red Cross to the leper colony at Farafangana, South Mada- gascar. for the use of the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul, who are in charge of the work of the colony. Owing to the prevalence of malaria there. large quantities of quinine are necessary but the regular sup plies were suddenly stopped by the prohibition of the export of the drug from France. An appeal was there upon made to the American Red Cross. which obtained the required amount in the United States.

COST HIM $100 FOR NOT HAVING AMERICAN CLERK

It pays to have 100 per cent Ameri- can clerks in your employ. This was what M. Kovacovich, naturalized American, found out this week, and it cost him $100 to make the discov- cry.
 Kovacovich, as the manager of the Kovacovich Mercantile Company of Jerome, was hailed before the federal food administrator for Arizona on a charge of violating the fifty-fifty regulations pertaining to the sale of flour.
 It was brought out in the hearing that while the manager was not per sonally at fault, he had placed too much dependence on certain un- American clerks who had sold flour without the full percentage of substi- tutes.
 Kovacovich, upon his promise to re- organize his force, was permitted to pay S1O0 into the Red Cross fund of the Jerome chapter instead of being forced to closing his doors for thirty days.

PICTURES WANTED OF
 GERMAN TOWNS

The Arizona council of defense has been asked to help in securing for the war department photographs, draw ings and descriptions of bridges, buildings, towns, and localities now occupied by the German forces in France, Belgium and Luxembourg and likewise in that part of Germany ly- ing west of the line running north and south through Hamburg. A large quantity of such material is desired and may be sent without sorting or any attempt to avoid duplication.
 It will not be practicable to return the material to the patriotic senders. It should be sent by parcel post or express to Col. A. B. Cove, 1156 Eff teenth street, Washington, D. c. It is probable that many Arizonans who have travelled in Europe have brought back with them photographs or even post cards of the localities noted.

in federal service as members of the First Arizona infantry when war was declared, together with over 1000 vol untary enlistments in the national guard and the regular army since that date. They also have right to ask to be credited with the 646 sailors that Arizona has furnished to the navy and for 52 marines. The officers various branches of the service should also be entered in the count.
 But the largest credit to which they are entitled and which otherwise would not be granted is for 3472 men furnished under the first draft. An additional draft of 148 men departed about two weeks ago and 470 more men are now preparing to leave for Camp Funston on April 26. We also claim credit for several hundred men who have been inducted into various special and technical units of the na- tional army, none of whom were cred tied on the first draft nor since that time. It is only by giving credit for every selected men that the injustice done to the people of my state under the first apportionment of quotas can be corrected.
 "Up to this good hour Arizona has furnished more men in proportion to the number actually liable to military service than any other state in the union. By that record we have earned the right to say that the forty-eighth star in the American flag is the Mars of the constellation. I want to see this lzl 4LoA n,-o1.k cLam kn given for every son of Arizona who is now fighting for freedom and democ- racy on land and sea-" (Applause.) Later, after the last call, which de- pleted Arizona, had been made, Hay den said in the house:
 "I want to be frank with you and say that my attention was first at- tracted to this matter because of the great injustice done to my state, and it may be that I have been a special pleader. One cannot be blamed, how ever, for attempting to protect his own people. That condition, however, no longer exists. I received letter from the provost marshal general yes terday which states that in his last call for 233 900 men. as apportioned among the states, there were not enough men left in Arizona to com plete her quota by over 200, and that he has ordered in this month of May all of the remaining men in class one from Arizona into camp. It is moot question, SO far as I am concerned, and am not making any more spe- cial pleas, because Arizona has no more men left to plead for. But do say that if this house will reject this motion, send this resolution back to conference and the conferees study the question as they should, they can bring us a law that will do justice by bringing the other sates up to an equality with my own."

Take in the Old Posters.

The Arizona Council of Defense urges that all out-of-date cards and patriotic advertising be destroyed at once. It is poor business to allow old Liberty Loan posters to remain on space that better could be filled by Red Cross or recruiting material. Clean out all advertising matter that has done it work. Its continued dis play only interferes with whatever work there is on hand and hurts the value of the advertising that is to be, There are going to be more Liberty Loan campaigns and there will be many patriotic drives before blessed peace finally comes, and there should be care that each campaign shall not interfere with any other. So, take in everything that does not concern the subject just now on hand.

HAYDEN ENDEAvORS TO GET
 CREDIT FOR ADJUSTMENTS

Representative Carl Hayden, in speaking to a joint resolution in con gress in reference to the calling of men under the draft law, has constantly endeavored to have Arizona given full credit for all of the men enlisted from the state both under the draft and voluntarily. In offering an amend ment providing for these credits Hayden said:
 "The bill should be further amended to provide that credit shall be given to each state for the number of men who have entered the military and naval service of the United States. It is only by this method that we can do justice to the patriotism of thousands of men who have volunteered for service. The people of my state de- mand credit for the 672 men who were

ARIZONA MAGAZINE BOOSTS OUR GREAT

Some folks have an idea that the Flagstaff region of northern Arizona is fenced off as special vacation ground for the people of the south ern part of the state-folks who have tired of the beaches and who are ap- preciative of the summer ozone that seems to cling especially to the cool slopes of the majestic San Francisco mountains. The editor wants to enter protest. Arizona doesn't claim mo- nopoly. There is no fence around the Mogollon plateau that would prohibit the entrance of well-behaved folks from any part of the world and there is room for much of the world under the marvellous pines that stretch

He Subscribed.


 In an Eastern farming community a wealthy German farmer refused to buy Liberty Bonds-said he did not consider it good investment and he did not want to supply money with which to buy ammunition that might kill his relatives. Investigation found that this man had landed in the States with $80 and that he had fled from Prussia to avoid the mili- tary draft. He acquired section of fine land and had a bank deposit of $20,000. The sheriff of the county was made committee of one to visit the farmer, to hand him the sum of $S0 and to tell him that his place was not in that community-that the kais- CT neded him and that he should go across the sea-. The point was aL(jre- ciated. The farmer subscribed at once to a $5,000 bond.
