A GAME GIRL
 FROM GARY

She works in a Bisbee store, does this girl, and she has bright eye and deft hand and pleasant smile as she wraps up goods for those who come to buy. She came from Gary. Indiana. she told the newspaper man. and she likes Bisbee alright, but-old Indiana is a mighty fine state. She wants to help in the war. One brother has gone; one Is too old to go. The older brother works on a railroad and he wrote his sister out in Bisbee to tell her that they are hiring girls now in the railroad shops and that this was war work because it increased the ton mage of munitions and the transpOrta- tion of troops just that much. Just as much as a girls hand and heart could help
 And this girl in the nice new ging- ham dress leaned over the counter with shining eyes and said she be- lieved she would go back to Indiana and get job in these railroad shops where she could help to send an extra shell against the Prussian and an ex- tra doughboy or two down to a troop ship on the Atlantic tide
 I'll wear overalls," she said. and be an engine wiper. That will let a wiper go to France. It will be helping little bit, won't it?"
 You bet it will said the newspap- CT man, and he quickly took off his battered Stetson and bowed low and left the store.

through; if they fight to draw, the Aus trian monarchy may well fall. Therefore, under the inevitable conditions that follow four years of terrible warfare this battle of the Piave is the decisive battle of the war for Austria, and may we'll be the most important in its effects upon the war itself than any engagement yet staged in this greatest of war dramas. So far Austria has met with bloody repulse and made only small gains. The Italians, aided by French and British divisions and allied aviators, have resisted magnificently. Only the un- expected can save Austria from that fatal check that threatens the fall of the house of Hapsburg forever.

AN IRISHMAN'S GIFT

O'Hara has the shoulders and chest of prize fighter and the scenic dis play of a moving picture hero and the heart-oh, well, just the heart of an lrishman. But he does not work in the movies. He is in the C. & A.. and not the Essanay. Before he was a miner O'Hara worked in a newspaper shop. hence his habit of dropping in on the newspaper man once in awhile
 The other day the O'Hara appeared CT the t5TeshOld of the newspaper mans den with his Irish smile and said: I'm going to bring you a pres ent. No, there's no use to ask what it is. No use at all. And you must be patient, too. l may be here in day and l may not come for a week But I'll come; O. that you may be sure"
 It was just d week later that the O'Hara staggered up the stairs under a load of flowers. He had the biggest finest bOquet that ever the newspaper man did see. It did seem as though all the gardens of the shores touched by the seven seas had been pilfered to make this boquet It was as big around as a washtub and three stories high. Every color of the rainbow flamed' and blushed and blossomed here.
 Where on earth" began the newspaper man, but O'Hara cut him short
 Never mind now" he said. T came by 'em honest, and never raised them at all. 'Tis my uncle in California sends 'em to me every little while and they are the joy of my life He sends a big box and puts ice in the box to keep 'em fresh and fine. And for two days thereafter l am very happy, giv- ing flowers to the boys that are sick and to my friends" And the O'Hara waved his hands to stop the hood of the newspaper mans thanks and went away.
 No man of O'Hara's girth and inch es but an lrishman would lug flowers around to friends and sick people. But tis in the blood of the Irish, this mak- ing of boquets for the sick and hurling of bricks for those that are strong. Thus has the lrishman of the old sod always walked down the track of time, with love tune ou his lips and both the devil and all kindness in his eyes and helping hand for a friend and a

EIGHT STARS IN
 HER PIN FOR

This English Woman, Now Living Near Chicago, Has
 Cause For Most Intense
 Pride in Heroism and Glory of Her Eight Gallant Broth CTS of the Old English Strain

Mrs George Clifford Clark of Evan ston. Illinois. has the honor of wear ing wlat is perhaps the most remark able service pin" in America.
 IL bears eight stars-four gc-d and iour rcd.
 Fcur brothers, Alfred Finn, 49; Ste phen. q; Charles, 39, and Sydney, S5 fighting under the English flag. have been killed in action.
 Perciyal, 43; Albert, 37; Septimus, g, and Vivian, 31, still are fighting in France.
 "Of all my splendid brothers" Mrs. Clark says. ''I am proudest of Septi- mus During the first twenty months of the war he fought in the trenches. iie was in all the big battles-the Marne, Mons, and Neuve Chapelle. The heel of his boot was shot off while he was sniping. A bullet embedded itself in his puttee, but his leg iron stopped it. He escaped without a scratch.
 Brother Rescued Brother
 My brothers Sydney and Charles also were in the battle of tbe Mons with Septimus. In that battle Charles was fatally wounded, and Septimus re. turned to the field and brought him in. In a letter to me he said:
 "T found Charles lying, badly wounded, looking up at the sky. He was conscious. and when I leaned over him he said, I knew you'd come back, mate As I carried him off the field the dirty Huns turned a Maxim gun on us, and it fairly rained bullets. Charles received several bullets in the ribs. He died in the ambulance
 Tn another letter Septimus said:
 "I am enc of nineteen who survived the Mons campaign out of my regi- ment of 1900 men and 6,5O0 reinforce mcnts. It's not war. but red murder GOdi How I hate a German.

Austria

Where there Is so much talk there must be some facts behind 1t. A little fire is a necessity for so much smoke. Affairs in Austria must be worse right now than ever before since the beginning of the war. Dispatches and interviews eminating from official circles in Washington declare that there Is general belief that the failure of the present Austrian offensive against Italy will result in an immediate crisis in Aus tria When Napoleon sent Mcdonald for ward with his legions at Leipsic he said; My crown and empire rest upon this charge" And while Napoleon was not beaten at Leipsic, the fact that he did not succeed in beating the allies resulted in his abdication to Elba A drawn battle cost him his empire And it would seem to be the same way with the Austrians now struggling with the energy of desperation and the courage of despair, to break through the Italian lines and debauch upon the plains of Venice. If they fail to win

Many well informed authorities of the allied world are beginning to doubt if Ger many possesses the crushing and over whelming superiority in manPower on the western front with which she has been credited lately. And they bring up cold figures to support their belief At the be- ginning of the war Germany had popula- ton of about sixty-seven millions, while England had thirty-eight millions and France forty-eight millions, thus giving these two nations an advantage of some seventeen millions in population over the Hun. France Is completely mobilized and England has nearly reached her zenith. To more than offset the allied forces in Greece and Asia Foch has the colonials now in France And he also has Belgian, Portu- gese and American soldiers to the number of at least million Therefore it is hard to conceive how Germany can have more manpower on that fateful western front than can the allies. Again, Germany has called every man from the eastern line and from the German depots that can possibly be spared To prove this it is only neces- sary to consider the Austrian offensive,
 
 fate of the Hapsburg dynasty resting upon the drive And Austria has been beaten in every undertaking heretofore, against Russia, Serbia, Rumania and Italy, when she fought without German aid. There is no doubt that Cermanys all-in-all are mustered upon the western front, Four mighty drives have been stopped since last March. England has doubtless sent many thousands across the channel since early spring. Three hundred thousand Italian and 500,000 American troops have been added to Foch' army since March. Hence 1t is argued that the disparity in numbers cannot be very great right now. The Ger man repulse before Rheims last Tuesday was bloody and decisive. The Montdidier repulse the week before was more prompt than marked the first three great drives. The next great German attack will tell the tale One more decisive and costly check will record the passing forever of the Ger man peril, for the shift in manpower ad- vantage has been changing steadily and inevitably from the German to the allied side ever since the Prussian divisions swept forward from LaFere March 2 last And 1t is firmly held by many that this differ ence was not so great even last March as had been feared. Our war secretary has promised that America will enter the fray with enough men and guns and equipment and munitions by September to be dominant factor in this titanic fray. Only two months, then remain for the Hun to either break, separate or destroy Foch's armies. And the past week was the best period for the allies since the March winds dried the Flanders mud

The agricultural editor calls attention to the fact that the Arizona wheat crop for this year will be 942,000 bushels, a gain of over 100000 bushels over the crop of last year. Also that they are going to kill those 800 ostriches on the Maricopa county ostrich farm in order to save feeding them and to place some 5000 pounds of per fectly good ostrich meat on the Arizona market. Up and at 'em. Arizona can be depended upon to do her part.

The latest interpretation of the draft order gives baseball players little longer lease on their professional lives, but it swoops down upon clerks. porters and all attendants at amusement places like a hawk This is just another long step on our national way into the depths of this war It means the calling of thousands more men to be workers and fighters and the drafting of thousands of women in their places in civil life. This work or fight slogan, lived up to, means the winning of the war, and that nothing else will win it has been proved by Ger many'a terrible blows the past few months after four years of war.
