CENTRAL SCHOOL TOBE NEW HOME
 FUR RED CROSS
Lease Is Signed for the War Period and the State
 Defense Council, Food And Fuel Workers Join In

Signing lease for the war period the Central Arizona Chapter of the Red Cross yesterday took over the Central school building. A few neces- sarv repairs will be made at once and the building will be ready for occupancy by July 1. In addition to the Red Cross it will house the State Council of De- fense and will serve as the Food and Fuel administration headquarters.
 The building which was condemned as unfit for school purposes. has been pronounced safe for this purpose after a thorough inspection by H. J. Mann, city building inspector.
 The lease was signed by H. S Prince, treasurer of the local chapter of the Red Cross and Franklin D. Lane repre- senting Babbitt Brothers. the owners. The nominal rental will be divided by the different organizations established in the building. As yet the details have not been worked out as to the occu- pancy of the 16 rooms but it is under stood that the downstairs east end will be reserved for the Council of Defense and the Food administration. The Ser vice Section of the Red Cross. its gen. eral office. supply apartment and sal wage quarters and shipping room will also be on the lower floor.
 The congested conditions at the fslrq n nh nf rp 1f1na haa rfa no cessitated the change For some time it has been known that move must be made owing to the great growth of the Red Cross. When such a step was de- cided the advisability of combining the war departments was advanced and it was readily shown how this would con- serve time and labor Much of the work in the various departments has overlapped and with general offices it is believed that this will be eliminated
 Mrs. W. K. James, chairman of sup plies, declared yesterday that the work that was being done could not have been carried on much longer in the present quarters. While the activities have progressed even during the hot weather the work has been materially handicapped she said.
 Tt is simply this-we have outgrowr our quarters The move is absolutely necessary and with the four work rooms and office that we will soor have there will be a noticeable differ ence in the work. It will give us room 10 develop"
 In this connection Mrs. James spoke of the salvage department which was to have been begun this spring but was continued until the au,umn. A specia committee has been appointed to out line the departmental plans including besides Roy S. Goodrich, Arizona repre-. sentative of the Pacific division anC Mrs. James. Mrs. Gordon Tweed.

Citizem Starks Is Now Facing
 Military Court

Rev" p. R. Starks, who in his statement to the local board several weeks ago said he was an alien, here temporarily from the kingdom of heaven, and who was inducted into the service and sent to Camp Cody, is in the guard house.
 Starks, according to advices from Camp Cody, has been a source of some trouble to the military authori- ties at Camp Cody. He has posi- lively refused to drill, and he won't work and they can't make him even scrub out, according to the same ad- vices. A few days ago the military authorities wired to Washington asking what should be done with him. In the meantime he is in tho guard house.
 Just what will be done with Starks is a speculation in official circles in Phoenix. Some say that if he will not drill and will not work it might be the decision of court martial to shoot him.

Pima Tribe Girl Tells of Her Race; No Peace-Pipe
 Is Lighted Now; Natives At War to Death WithFoe

What are the American Indians do- ing for the country during the war? That is a question frequently asked. Let an Indian girl. of the Pima tribe, attending the United States Indian training school at Phoenix answer. Her name is Miss Annie T. Moore. She says
 q take great pride in telling you that the number of Indians now en- gagged in the military service is fully tion of their white brothers when that more Indian youths will join their brothers in the cause of humanity by and by.
 "The war department has decided there shall be no separate Indian units, which seems to be a good policy, be- cause the Indian soldier will learn the English language, habits and civiliza- ton of their white brothers when that is done. And since they are working for the same cause it is right that they should be mixed among their white comrades, and will fight side by side under one flag, one country and one God.
 Shows Their Patriotism
 "The Indians who cannot go to fight the battles are fighting in another way. their chief weapon being the hoe. They are doing intensive farming in order to raise enough foodstuffs for the people at home and some for the boys at the front All these things show that the Indian race is patriotic.
 Is the Indian still sitting back with his peace-pipe in his mouth and letting his white brothers fight for. his native land? No. The Indian is a real native American with a loyal heart. He will not sit back idle. and see his country ruined or fall into the hands of the en- emy. So today you will see the Indians are on their feet doing their bit for the maintenance of democracy.
 Sixty-Two From School
 T have told you some of the things that my race is doing. l shall now tell you what my school is doing. The Phoenix Indian school has willingly contributed to the service of it's country 62 of its finest young men. Some of them are in the army and now in train ing at Camp Kearny, preparig to take the place or those who have already sacrificed their lives on the battIefields of France. Beside these in the army we also have boys in the navy. Again, I aln proud to tell you that all of our soldeirs and sailor boys from this school are volunteers for Uncle Sam.
