II has been q Joy to read some OF the
simple cards OF the soldiers.
Already they are telling what KIND OF
cigarettes and tobacco they want for the
holidays. The fear that the fund may
not have the money to buy and ship the
tobacco doesn't cross their minds. Does
the boy who asks his father for sled

course not, and the soldiers tell their TO-

you hurl the bomb from you with an

When the lever flies off it releases
a strong spring, which forces the firing
pin into percussion cap. This ignites
the fuse, which burns down and sets

nate Of mercury, which explodes the
main charge Of ammonal.
The average British soldier Is not an
expert at throwing; 1t is a new game
to him, therefore the Canadians and
Americans, who have played baseball
from the kindergarten up, take natu-
rally to bomb throwing and excel in
this act. A siX-foot English bomber
will stand in awed silence when he
sees little five-foot-nothing Canadian

We had q cushy time while at this
school. In fact, to us it was regular

one morning the adjutant ordered us
to report at headquarters for trans
portation and rations to return to our
units up the line.
Arriving at our section, the boys
once again rendered us the glad mitt,
but looked askance at us out Of the
corners of their eyes. They could not
conceive, as they expressed it. how
man could be such blinking idiot as
to join the Suicide club. l was begin

That march was the most uncongenial
one imagined, just cussing and blind
ing all the way. We were covered with
white dust and felt greasy from sweat,
The woolen underwear issued was
itching like the mischief.
After eating our dinner Of stew,
which had been kept for us-it was
now four o'clock-we went into the
creek and had another bath.
If "Holy Joe" could have heard our

my is only human after oil.
I just mentioned "Holy Joe" or the
chaplain in an irreverent sort of way,
but no offense was meant, as there
were some very brave men among
them.
There are so many instances Of he
roic deeds performed under fire In res.
cuing the wounded that 1t would take
several books to chronicle them, but
have to mention one instance per-
formed by chaplain, Captain Hall by
name in the brigade on our left, be.
cause 1t particularly appealed to me.
A chaplain Is not fighting man; he
is recognized as a noncombatant and
carries no arms. In a charge or trench
raid the soldier gets q feeling of con.
fdcnCe from contact with his rifle, re-
volver, or bomb he is carrying. He has
something to protect himself with,
something with which he can infiict
harm on the cnemy-in other words,
he is able to get his own back.
But the chaplain is empty-handed,
and is at the mercy Of the enemy If
he encounters them, so 1t Is doubly
brave for him to go over the top, under
fire, and bring In wounded. Also a
chaplain is not required by the kings
regulations to go over in charge but
this one did, made three trips under
the hottest kind of fire, each time re-
turning with a wounded man on his
back. On the third trip he received
q bullet through his left arm, but never
reported the matter to the doctor until
late that night-just spent his time ad-
ministering to the wants of the wound
ed lying on stretchers.
The chaplains Of the British army
are fine, manly set of men, and arc
greatly respected by Tommy.

Judge Frank B. Laine passed sen tence upon Tom Sisson, Tom and John Powers Monday morning, and decreed that each should serve the State of Arizona for life. The men sentenced were tried last week by a jury, who returned a verdict Friday evening finding each guilty of murder in the first degree. They were charged with the murder of the late Sheriff Frank Mcbride of Gra- ham county, the details of the trial already appearing in last weeksissue of the Copper Era. Sheriff B.

Business Conditions in 1918 Analysed

7T HE Curtis Publishing company of
 H Philadelphia has issued a
 brochure entitled Business in 1918," in which conditions are analysed with a view of establishing sound working
 principles. Certain basic facts-four
 in number-are presented as vhe
 foundation for business judgment.
 The first essential fact is; "We must win the war. To that end the gov |ernment has pledged the fortunes and the lives of the nation, and rightly for without the defeat of Prussianism what security would there be for either wealth or happiness ?"
 The second basic fact is: Business | must earn money to maintain the credit of the nation." That brings the author of the pamphlet to the third Igreat fact on which to base sound
 opinion: "Labor must be encouraged

TRAITOROUS PROHIBITION

as some credulous people think 1t Is en- forced here.
 Tn regard to most things, prohibition fists have assumed and been accorded the right to speak as they please of their op- ponents Their hearts are bitter and their tongues drip venom. It is one thing, however, to exhaust the vocabulary of detraction upon political or social foo at home, and emphatically another to ap- ply libels to the armies of the nation now facing the enemy abroad.
 We shall hear in defense of these falsl- fiers that their intentions were good, but can the authorities let it go at that? No matter what their intentions may be, their work is evil and traitorous. There Is not an enemy alien in custody today whose hostility to the American cause has been so harmful. Not one of the op. ponents of the draft law now in prison is so steeped in guilt
 Is prohibition propaganda, deadlier than any with which Germany has familiar ized us, to be tolerated simply because it wears rather more ostentatiously than he the Kaiser's cloak of piety?
