SAVING AND SERVING

By economizing in consump-
ton and with the resultant saw
ing purchasing the governments
war securities, the American citi-
zen performs a double duty. The
citizen and the government can
not use the same labor and ma
terial; if the citizen uses it, the
material and labor can not be
used by the government. If the
citizen economies in consump-
ton, so much material and labor
and transportation space is left
free for government uses. And
when the saving effected is lent
to the government, more money
is thus placed at the disposal of
the government.
The more the people save the
more money, labor and materials
are left for the winning of the
war, the greater and more COM
plete the support given to our
fighting men.

German kulture, in all its hor-
rible details, will be wiped off
the face of the earth; that peace
and liberty may come to the peo-
Piles of all nations, it would seem
that the teaching of the German
language in our high schools and
colleges should be discontinued.
The following resolutio n S =,
adopted by the Phoenix Cham
ber of Commerce, should be ap-
proved by the boards of trustees
of every school district in Gra-
nam county and by the faculty
of the Gila Academy:
WHEREAS. A state of war now exists
between the United States OF America
and the Imperial German Government;
and,
WHEREAS, Reports of terrible cruel
ties inflicted by the German armies on
prisoners of war are continually re-
ceived from American and other
sources, in every way authentic; and.
| WHERAES, Such crimes are but part
of series of so-called "acts of war, "
| which have been officially authorized
and sanctioned by the Imperial Ger
man Government; and,
WHEREAS, Such crimes and atrocities
are violation of all rules of civilized
warfare and are incompatible with ma
tional dignity and integrity and only
comparable to the acts of barbarians;
and,
WHEREAS, The flower of American
youth is now sacrificing everything, in
cluding life itself, in order that the
pernicious ideas and methods of the
German Government may not spread
over the world; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is absolutely inconsist-
ent with our war activities that we en-
courage, or even permit, instructions
in the German language or German
subjects; and,
WHEREAS, There is throughout the
United States, a general and uniform
desire that the teaching of German in
school and colleges be discontinued;
Now, THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED,
By the Board of Directors of the
Chamber of Commerce, Phoenix, Ari-
zona, that the time heretofore given to
the study of the German language in
our schools and colleges can hereafter
be more profitably devoted to other
studies; and.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED, That we
earnestly recommend, to the boards of
trustees, or other officials, having
charge of schools and colleges, the
elimination of the study of the German
language and the study of German in
any form whatever.

THE CASUALTY LIST

There's a big American story
in the daily causualty list if you
read behind the names.
What is an American? What's
in a name?
In one days list you find Hos
kins, Kohlmeier, Maciejewski,
Nowanty, Perry, Sullivan, Ver-
doukas, Bergman, Laughlin,
Beckerle, Doering, Kanski, Muir
ply, Sparks, Villoto. Ezyperki,
Cooper, Hutchinson. Foohey, Nc
Cue, Schwartz, Stone, Patterson,
Thomas, Brown, Farrell, Maxi
movich, Moriarity, Walton, Knut-
son, and so on.
Now read behind the names:
Figure out where the ancestors
of those American boys came
from. We can't tell what coun-
tries contributed their blood
through the female line, but in
the male line their is evidence of
Irish, German, Polish. Russian,
Greek, English, Scandinavian
and Italian blood.
Yet everyone of these soldiers
is an American-fighting under
the Stars and Stripes.
We have read about the Indian
scouts with Pershing's army.
They come of the only original
American race. After Columbus
came the Spaniards, the English,
the Dutch, the Irish, the Ger
mans, the French, the Italians,
the Poles, the Hungarians, the
Russians and others.
All contributed their blood.
All went into the great melting
pot to come out as Americans
the Americans of whom all of US
now are so proud.
1t ought to prove to the world
that what happened in America,
may just as well happen in Eu-
rope-that if the arbitrary and
artificial boundaries made by
foolish, greedy kings and kaisers
and czars were blotted out there
could be a new European race of
brothers who could dwell to-
gether in comparative peace and
harmony.
But first, we must help the
people over there. All of them
to get rid of their autocrats so
that over there as we'll as over
here there can be government of
the people, by the people and for
the people.
