 FUR THE NAVY

Four Minute men" speaking in the moving picture theaters of Phoenix and Arizona this week, are asking the ques- ton, Will you supply eyes for the navy?' Simultaneously. speakers in theaters all over the country are put ting the same question to the people. and the country anxiously awaits the answer
 The eyes" to which the speakers refer consist of binoculars. telescopes, spyglasses. seXtants and chronometefs, the upply of which is almost exhausted and which are in the greatest of need since the submarine came into war Mare. Almost all binoculars. spyglasses and telescopes formerly came from Germany and some from France. The only ones now obtainable are in the hands of private citizens
 There is particularly pressing need for sextants. instruments used in de- termining the position of a ship by as- tronomical observation The navy is asking for glasses of any description to aid in the hunt for the U boats. The government asks that the glasses be given outright. not loaned It promises to return them. if possible, but asks that the glasses be regarded as men who go to war.

an organization be given from time to time a report of some of the more im- portant work undertaken and accom- plished.
 The chamber of commerce is as pub lie and responsive a body as 1t is pus- sible to make it. The board of directors has been guided in all of its actions by what it believed to be the desire of the membership.
 It should be borne in mind that in this report the work in many instances of a number of men for several weeks, is recorded in a very few words. Only a hint can be given therefore of the vast amount of time, thought and en- ergy that have been given to the serv- ice of the community. state and nation through the patriotic and devoted mem bers of the chamber of commerce.
 Many, and in fact most of the activ- ities of the chamber have been under taken in cooperation with the off cials and with other organizations of the community. The chamber does not claim all the credit for those accom- plishments but they are included in or der that proper credit for their work may be given to the committees of the chamber.
 The board of directors acknowledges with pleasure the cooperation extend ed by all organizations and by all officials on every occasion and thanks at this time the press of the city, coun- ty and state for it's help which has made it possible to submit this en- couraging report.

OPPOSE PRINCIPLE
 BUT SUPPORT BILL
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-Debate on the administration railroad bill in the senate was confined largely to pre- pared speeches by Senators Kellogg and Mclean, both of whom announced they would vote for the measure. though they opposed the principle in volved and supported government oper- ation of the carriers only as a war measure.
 The present plan of government possession under private management is half-slave. half-free policy, that can be justified only at time when the life of the nation itself is at stake said Senator Mclean. Tt has all the defects of government owner ship and none of the benefits of pri- vate management under private own ershir"

advancement, like everything that is undertaken in Phoenix.
 The Red Cross war fund was set by the officials in Washington at $2O,0Vu for the Phoenix district. This sum was considered by the chapter as too small and at once increased to S25.000 and then to s3O,000 and then the committees went out and got S35,00O. This has been collected, with still small sum coming in regularly each month.
 Your chamber continues to give the aid and assistance which it can 50 readily provide in order that the Red Cross work be carried on efficiently and economically.
 You know what splendid success fol- lowed the campaign for Y. M. C. A. funds and Y. w. C. A. funds. The Y. M. C. A. askedf for $J0,00 for the state and collected S102,0Q0. The '. w. C. X. fund was about double the amount suggested for the city and state. In ev- cry instance it is the same-the quota asked for is subscribed and tlien some and then some more.

 Liberty Loan
 The First Liberty Loan was directed by President McClung of your organ ization with Dr. Anci Martin as chief aide, and a staff of able workers. Ari- ! zona was asked to contribute about two l million dollars, and the results were such that instead of the amount asked | for, the state contributed the enor- nous total of s3,135. .500, nearly twice l the limit set for the state. The second l loan was splendidly directed by MT II. R. Tritle. one of your directors. Know ing the possibilities of the state. the of | ficials in Washington set the amount of the second loan at a minimum of S3.- i 319,5S3, with maximum of $5.525, 9I.. At first this seemed too big an esti- mate. When the campaign was under way, the minimum was first attempted. | When the manager of the campaign saw the minimum on the horizon. he changed his mark to the maximum and put forth still greater efforts Quickly the maximum was secured and again l the chairman changed his plans and issued orders throughout the state for a movement to put Arizona lover the top" The big tank ship "Arizona1 went far over the top and took every trench. The total reached by this state was S7,1S4, ,350-nearly equal to the to- tai amount of the minimum and the maximum combined. Arizona was the only state to exceed its quota in the twelfth district. Arizona led the way for California. Idaho. Nevada. Oregon Utah and Washington. Phoenix itself subscribed practically three times the the amount set as the minimum. Tho minimum subscription for this city was S944,S07. The maximum was S1.573.Sfe Phoenix subscribed 8, I50, 300, or S232, : l4l ore than the maximum and mini- mum combined
