London, April 27.-The impor-
tance of every entente allied cOun-
try engaged in the war getting
every possible man to position to
support the battle front was empha-
sized by Gen Delma Radcliffe, chief
director of military operations at
the war office, in his first interview
with newspaper men since he took
over the position formerly held by
Maj Gen. F. B. Maurice
The Germans are going on with
this hammering process" he said,
and we have got to make up our
minds that it is not this week, or
next week. or next month, that this
fight is coming to decision. We
are going to fight the whole sum-
mer, and in the end it is question
of who holds the last reserves.
Reserves on the west front now
are, | am happy to say, in the hands
of one command, the commander
in-chief of the allied armies in
France, Gen. Foch, in whom every
body has complete confidence, He
has so far employed only a small
proportion Of his reserves, and that
is good ausury for the future.

that it Is long drawn out test OF

it is so imperative for this country

OF almost two hours General
Gates was already known TO many

To his strong presentation of the
need of the Third Librty Loan may
be attributed the fact that the sum
total OF Henderson county's invest.
ment in that loan was considerably
augmented on that day.
At the close of General Gates
speech an appeal to the people to
to subscribe for Liberty Bonds was
made by Guy Youngerman, one
of our most popular boys. who was
at home from Pulaski, where he
had been teaching and who left but

and on that account he was at the

Mr.. Martin Youngerman, he took
an additional $4,000 in the Third
Liberty Loan--a splendid example

Many readers are sending this question to The Arizona Republican Information Burean in Washington. The hardest problem to meet, and yet one of the most import ant to solve, is that of the women.
 Those whose first duty is to stay where they are, and yet who want 10 give every bit of their energy to their country, are daily seeking for some definite answer to this question. Women that are free from home du- ties arc continually asking how they can get some work which will take them to France. The Bureau is try ing Co impress upon these willing volunteers the folly of sending un- trained women abroad where every additional person adds to the problem of transports tion, heat, food, medical care etc.
 There are of course cases where professionals and specialists are needed and the Bureau is endeavor- ing to direct them to the proper authorities. Those anxious to enter training schools are given directions in accordance with their require ments. Women of independent means who arc desirous of paying their own expenses are put in touch with the proper authorities. Competent women are needed to fill the places of men in the governmental departments, and Inc Bureau gives information in re- gard 10 positions open, salary, ex- aminations. and living conditions in Washington.
 Men over draft age and those exempted for various reasons, are constantly seeking for an opening to give their services tso they can have n part in setting the world to rights Tho Bureau can usually help them with suggestions when they state their desires and qualifications.
