BOBBY FLYNN ENJOYING
 LIFE IN THE ARMY
(From Saturdays Dailv)

Frank Bauer yesterday received an interesting letter from Robert Finn, now with the English Flying Corps in England. The Journal-Miner is permitted to copy from the letter the following excerpts;
 After serving some nine months with the Canadian-American Medical Corps in the trenches and base line hospitals. the head officer decided that I was too good man for that work and transferred me to the Royal Air force.
 q did a twelve-days' course in musketry at Hampstead, near Lon don, and now I'm in Hastings at the Officers Technical Training Wing, Royal Air Force. I expect to be here at least eight weeks and if all goes well should get a commission in siX months and then back to France again and bag a few Hun aeroplanes.
 "I was certainly glad to get back to England and hear English spoken again. French is all right of course, but after you've been in France nine months you long to hear someone speak a bit of English. As far as can make cut the war is going to last through the spring of 1919 unless un- foresecn things happen. The fighting is growing fiercer day by day, and -:r,. ,,,d Ia,- hombino bv airDlancS Is getting to be a regular thing. For merly when you came ten or fifteen kilos back from the line for a rest you got it but now you run into long range smelling and inceSsant ar raids

MIX WILL STAGE B|G SHOW FOR
 RED CROSS
POPULAR MOVIE MAN TO PRESENT TALEN OF HIS COMPANY AT BENZ FIT PERFORMANCE HERE ON AUGUST 10TH.
(From Sundays Daily)

E For the purpose of assisting the Red Cross in its meritorious work, representatives of the Fox Film com pany now in Prescott, have volun- teered to give one of the most de lightful entertainments yet staged in the Mile High City. Both Mir. Key holds and Mir Mix are very enthusias- tic over this matter, Tom stating that 1t IS a mere matter of form in Cali fornia for all those having any talent whatever to appear in an entertain ment at least once a week, where the funds go for war purposes. And in this respect Tom could not overlook Prescott, stating that this was one way in which the company could all show their appreciation for the splen- did assistance and cooperation which have been extended the company by the citizens of Prescott and Yavapai county.
 This matter was pIesented to the Yavapai Chapter of the Red Cross and the proposition was immediately accepted. Chairman Hazeltine ap- pointing R. \. Fredericks as the chairman to arrange the necessary plans. The following committees have been appointed by Mir. Fred cricks: hall and music. Grace NJ. Sparkes: finance, by the chairman; box office and doors, Frank c. Brown: advance ticket sales, Mrs. Inez McDomell: box seat sales. Mrs. J. w. Finn: publicity, P R. Mines.
 At present there are 60 members of the Fox Company located in Prescott, representing some of the best talent in the United States. All expenses in connection with the entertainment will be borne by. MT. Reynolds and KIT. Mix. The costumes have been ordered from the coast, likewise the sketches.
 There will be two parts to the en- tertainment: the first, a real bowling cowboy minstrel: the second, a mili- tary pageant. In addition to these there will be individual dramatic sketches by members of the company. In the company are, old hands at the game of stage carpentry work and electricians, so that the settings will be far superior to anything which has been attempted in Prescott.
 The stage and rehearsals are under the immediate supervision of Jack Curtis This delightful entertainment will be given in the Elks theater, one week from Tuesday, August 10th. The admission will be $100, each pur- chaser receiving thrift stamp. mak ing the admission really cost but $ cents. All seats will be reserved in asmuch as that general admission will be the same throughout the house. The Boy Scouts will act as the ushcrs for the evening. As Tom says he will maintain his old slogan in this particular entertainment: Send the people away pleased"
 The special numbers will be taken later to Whipple Barracks so that the soldier patients may enjoy them.

JOHN FROMBACH
 ARRESTED AS STACKER
(From Saturdays Dsily.J

John Frombach, who for the past year and a half has played the clari- net in a local orchestra, bumped into a large-sized bundle of trouble yester- day morning, and as result of his attempt to secure his final set oi naturalization papers, he is occupying a cell in the county jail on federal charge Of failing to register for mili- tary service on June ;, 1917. The trouble seems to have come about as the result of the fact that Frombach failed to give the registration officials and the naturalization commissioner the same data regarding his age.
 Frombach who is an Austrian by birth had filed his application for citizenship several years before the United States declared war on the country of his nativity, and in his ap- plication. he stated that he had been born in 1888. He had joined the United States army in l906, at which time he gave his age as 2l years, in stead of IS, the correct figure. When he applied for his naturalization pap CTS, however. he told the officials that he had joined the army at the age oi IS, which would make him. according to his own statement, 30 years of age at the present time. At the time of the draft registration, he had con tended that his age was B years, and did not ncgiStcr. The local cXcmp- ton board, it seems, had suspected that the man was not telling the truth and an examination of the papers which he had filed with the naturali zation commissioner revealed the fact that Frombach was stacker.
 When he was closely questioned by Inspector \. F. Eldredge yesterday morning, he admitted that he was but 3O years old. Assistant L. s. Attor> ncy !. II. Langston immediately filed charges against the man and he was taken before Federal Judge Sawtcllc during the morning session of the |. :. court. He entered a plea of guilty to a charge of failure to register, and pending the imposing of the sentence by the court. was remanded to the county jail He will be sentenced in a few days. it is said. The sentence usually imposed for such offensc is a iail term of from 30 to % days and induction into the army at the eX- piration of the jail sentence.

 "We made careful observations of the service in every line, and 1t is sur prising to see what the improvement has been physically to those we know from Yavapai. All have been changed
 for the better to such an extent as to evoke admiration. Our son is trans formed youth, full of pep from dawn to dark, and like the other boys from Yavapai has improved 100 per cent. Jack" Shull of Prescott, well, he can now go over the top (of Thumb Butte) and it is hard to appreciate what a change has taken place in the physical makeup of this young man. It is the same with the others iron. this section we know, and I tell you military life at Cody is working reve- lations in the youth of the country. The commanding officer told us that the Yavapai bunch outclassed any other contingent It IS intimated from the strenuous training that the camp will be emptied for overseas duty before December, and in this connection the 50,000 soldiers are eag- CT to go into action. There arc Amer ican, English and French officers de- tailed for instruction, andS some of the doings are wonderful in getting the boys in shape for active service. They will require but little training when once overseas. We will admit we arc opposed to military life, but now acclaim it as the best for the American boy; it is shaping him up for the life ahead, for fun or fighting, and from physical viewpoint he is getting in fine shape for anything ahead"

 W. H. Archdeacon. chairman of the finance committee of the Williams Canteen Service has advised Chair man Hazeltine of the Yavapai County Chapter that the Williams Canteen Service of the American Red Cross had served over 10000 soldiers up to the week ending August 3rd. Mir. Archdeacon states that it was his privilege to see hard-working and pat riotic women of Williams serve trainload of boX on Saturday last
 If you could have seen how ap- preciative these men were, 1 am sure you would feel as l do that the money SO generously contributed by the Arizona chapters attached to the Will Hams Cantcen Service could not be spent for better advantage. Keeping LID the morale of our soldiers and giving them to understand by looking after their personal comfort. that the hofne-folkS are behind them heart and soul, is the thing that makes our men at the front better than those of any other nation," said Mir. Arch deacon.
 Wm. IT. Hamley, First Lieutenant M. R. C., in writing to F. Johnson, Associate Field Director of the Amer ican Red Cross at Camp Beauregard, La, said in part: At noon on the same day. we were met at Williams. Arizona by Mrs. W. M. Hughes and her assistant workers and were fur rished quite a nice lot of dellcacies; and on the afternoon of the same day we were served a nice lunch at Ash Fork. Arizona, so kindly arranged for by the ladies of Williams" This re- fcrs to some of the soldier boys sent to Fort Whipple That this work IS appreciated is shown from the many letters which have been sent to the canteen workers at Williams. thank ing them for their work. The Yavapai County Chapter has contributed SooO towards this good cause, Jerome about three times that amount. Phoe- nix likewise, also Williams and from other chapters various amounts have been received.

about 5 to 3. The United. States positively must have 2,000,000 men on the battle front by November 1st next, and it must have 4,000000 men there by the following May If this is not done, Germany will in the mean time have taken over the bulk of the disbanded Russian armies and God only knows how long the war will last. It is not going to be a difficult task for the Allied armies to push the
 Huns back to their permanent de- fense lines, but the big job will be to push them back from these posi- tions. We will need millions of men to rout the Germans from the posi- tions into which they will have dug themselves. We will need thousands of huge guns to blast their defenses into smithereens, and get the enemy started on the final run to the Ger man capital. It is folly now to talk of pressing the kaiser back to Der lin. because the Allies are in no posi- ton to do it. The German army must be smashed. and the German civilian population must be subjected to the same horrors to which the BelglanS and French and Rumanians were sub iected by the Huns. They must have a taste of their own medicine before the war is over, and it will be no small job to administer such whip ping to them. but it will surely come, just as surely as I am standing on this platform this evening.
 We Americans over in this far land. still untouched by the ravaging hand of the war god, would better all be dead and in our graves than to have the Allied powers sign an un- righteous peace with the kaiser. It would mean war after war until Ger many was finally licked, and that might nor happen for the next 30 or 40 years"
 Mir. Douglas related his experiences in Paris during the days last spring when the Germans were smelling the city with the long-range gun which was located 75 miles away. He saw many evidences of the bombardment, and was not far away from the church which was struck while the Good Fri day services were going on. A large of worshipers were killed by this one shot, he said.
