 The Mesa emergency hospital was closed Tuesday. after having handled during the few weeks of it's existence several hundred patients from all parts i of the south side. The supervisors. be- lievins that the epidemic has so far decreased as to enable the county to care for all patients at the Phoenix hospital, closed first the Tempe. then the Chandler and finally the Mesa hos | pital. The work has been carried on by the county at a heavy expense, but the lives saved by reason of the effi- cient hospital service and the removal ! of the poorer class of patients from | tents and unsanitary surroundings to comfortable quarters, will justify every dollar so mercifully expended. The Mesa hospital has been the scene of much self sacrificing labor on the part of both men and women. Under | the direction of Charles F. Price who assumed the management when Super ] intendent Matthews was incapacitated | through illness, and with Nell Price as head nurse, corps of workers trained and untrained served faithfully during the epidemic.

 GERARD, Berlin"
 Lorcnz Muller in the German Cath ollie Review, Der EeiS, February, 1915. made the following statement in re- gard to the rmpcrur'S telegram:
 "Oficially no instance has been proven of persons having fired with the help of priests from the towers of churches. All that has been made known up tu the present, and that has been made the object of inquiry con corning alleged atrocities attributed to Catholic priests during this war, has been shown to be false and altogether imaginary, without any exception. Our emperor telegraphrd to the president of the United States 0f America that even women and priests had commit ted atrocities during this guerrilla war fare on wounded soldiers, doctors and nurses attached to the field Hmbu- lanCes. How this telegram can be rec onclled with the fact stated above we shall not be able to learn Gnti! after the war;"

Officers Encouraged Atrocities.

Gen. VOn BlSSluE. aIleT HIS uppOlut- ment as governor general of Belgium, repeated in substance the above opin- ion to a Dutch journalist. The inter- view is published in the Dusseldorfer Anzeiger of December s, 1914.
 Irwin s. Cobb states his conclusions on the responsibility of the higher Ger man command for the atrocities:
 But I was an eyewitness to crimes which, measured by the standards or humanity and civilization, impressed me as worse than any individual ex- cess, any individual outrage, could ever have been or can ever be; be- cause these crimes indubitably were Instlgated on a wholesale basis by or der of officers of rank, and must have heeD carried out under their personal supervision, direction, and approval.
 "Taking the physical evidence offer cd before our own eyes, and buttress- ing it with the statements made to us, not only by natives, but German sol diers and German officers, We could roach but one conclusion, which was that here, in such and such a place, those in command had said to the troops: Spare this town and these neoDIe' And there they had said: Waste this town and shoot these peo- ple.' And here the troops had diScrim' Inately spared, and there they had in- discriminatory wasted, in exact ac- cordance with the word of their supe- riors."-Irvln Cobb, Speaking of Prus- sians, New York, 1917, pp, S2-34.
 Hoodwinked German People.
 These ideas, then, were systemat- ically impressed upon the military and official classes. It was necessary, however, to work upon the minds of the German people, so that they might iend themselves to the inhuman pOlt- cies advocated by the military leaders. To do this was difficult for, as has been shown often, many of the civil ian leaders of public opinion, time and again, expressed their horror of the new spirit which was animating the military authorities. The relChstag debates give ample evidence of this, md the task of the military leaders would have been still more difficult If the reichstag had any real power. (See War Information Series No. 8, "The Government of Germany" see also Gerard's My Four Years in Ger many" chapter 2.)

Governor General of Belgium on Rec ord as Declaring the Innocent Must Suffer With the GulIty-lrVln
 Cobb's Tale of Horrors.

The horrors deliberately and SyS- tematically inficted upon the people Of Belgium by the German soldiers, under the orders of their command ing officers, are Shown in all their hideOuSneSS by official documents and the testimony of eye-OttHeSSsS, as weH as by letters prittsn by Ger man soldiers in the field. The bra zen effort of Emperor William to cast the Odium of the fearful deeds on the BeIgianS iS also ShOwm. QttO- tations given are from documents already made public or in the pos session of the gOuerRmeRt at Wash iHgton.
 This interview was reproduced ID the Berllner Tageblatt of November 20, 1914.
 Mir. F. c. Walcott of the Belgian re- lief commission tells in the Geograph- ical Magazine for May, 1917, of meet ing Gen vOn Bernhardi:
 "As walked out, Gen. von Bern hardi came into the room, an expert artilleryman, professor In one or their war colleges. I met him the next morning, and he asked me If l had read his book, Germany in the Next War
 ''I said I had. He said: Do you know, my friends nearly ran me out of the country for that? They said, You have let the cat out of the bag. I said No, I have not, because nobody will believe it. What did you think of it?'
 q said. General, I did not believe word of 1t when l read 1t, but l now feel that you did not tell the whole truth and the old general looked actually pleased"
 Speaking on August 29, 1914, at Munster, of the extreme measures which the Germans felt obliged to take against the civil population of Bel gium, Gen. von BiSsing said:
 "The innocent must suffer with the guilty. In the repression of lnfamy, human lives cannot be spared, and If isolated houses, tlOurishing Vil- lages, and even entire towns are anni- Inflated, that is assuredly regrettable, but 1t must not excite ill-timed sent- mentality. All this must not in our eyes weigh as much as the life Of a single one of our brave soldiers-the rigorous accomplishment of duty Is the emanatiOn of a high kultur, and in that. the population of the enemy countries can learn lesson from our army"

ENEMIES TO SUCCESS.
Learn to Avoid Timidity, Shynsss or
 Self Consciousness.

Sef OOnSClouSneSS,
 Timidity, shyneSs and self conscious ness belong to the same family. We usually find all where We find any one, and they are all enemies of peace of mind, happiness and achievement. No one has ever done a great thing while his mind was centered upon himself. We must lose ourselves before we can find ourselves. Self analysis is yalu- able only to learn our strength; 1t is fatal if 1t makes us dwell upon our weaknesses.
 Timid, shy people are morbidly self conscious. They think too much about themselves Their thoughts are turned inward; they are always analysing, dis secting themselves, wondering how they appear and what people think of them. IT these people could only for get themselves and think of others they would be surprised to see what free dom, ease and grace they would gain, what success in life they would achieve.
 Thousands of young people are held back from undertaking what they long to do and are kept from trying to make real their great life dreams because they are afraid to jostle with the world. They shrink from exposing their sore spots and sensitive points, which smart from the lightest touch. Their super scnsitivenesS makes towards of them. Q. S. Warden.
 No Reasonable Reason.
 "The last two. words of & recent verse of mine were omitted entirely" walled Tennyson J. Draft, "spoiling both the rhyme and sense of the com position"
 q do not see why the printer should have gone to that trouble" returned I. Fuller Gloom. "Without being tam pered your verses would seem to be sufficiently grotesque and senseless to satisfy the most morbid taste."
