The enemy at present depends large

restriction of movement within the
narrowing salient-rendered more diff

fire and airplane bombing--is thus add

The allies, too, are hampered by
rains, but their communication lines
have not been cut up so badly as have
those of the enemy.

RED CROSS SHOP IS
FIRM IN THE FAVOR
OF PHOENIX PEOPLE

Its stock purchased to such an extent
that it has become necessary to install
additional display cases, the Red
Cross Gift Shop has the appearance
of an exclusive eastern shop devoted
to the sale of just such exquisite bits
of needlework, china and glassware as
are to be found in the show room in
the War Work building. The cases
contain many charming boudoir novel
ties, toys and dainty frocks for the
little folk exceptionally attractive tea
sets and those thousand and one fan
cies conceived with ribbons and lace
dear TO the feminine heart.
The local sales have been splendid
declares Mrs. Z. j. Bennitt who is
manager of the shop. She believes
that the little shop will reap harvest
during the holiday shopping period,
and before the great rush is on she
proposes to take a selection of stock
to Chandler, where orders will be
taken.
1t is not the idea Of the shop to enter
into competition with any of the local
business houses, but merely to swell
the Red Cross fund through the sale
of beautiful and unusual gifts as well
as practical offerings.
I'VE are not underselling the mer-
chants, and neither are we asking top

as she displayed one after another OF
her wares to an interested customer
Besides the lovely mon essentials

makes an appeal to the public.
The Red Cross means the same

to the associations shop. Our stocL

FOODMUsT BEGIN TO
MOVE TO SEAPORTS
To FEED STARVING

According to word received from
the United States shipping board, it is
going to be up to American ships TO
deliver food and supplies to starving
Europe
The chamber of commerce is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Edward n. Hur-
ley, outlining the plans for co-opera-
ton between the shipping board and
the highway division of the govern
ment.
The letter follows.
Gentlemen: Our merchant marine
of today and tomorrow will carry
message of good will to the nations of
the world.
Millions of cruelty starved folk face
westward from every shore with
mouths open to the promise of Amer
lea. These must be fed and then
clothed, and also supplied with the
other necessities of life. Our grand
privilege now is to restore life.
strength and hope to these martyred
brothers of a hundred tongues.
Highway transport facilities at the
farmers gate-and at every farmers
gate-must Immediately suggest the
initial phase of overseas distribution;
must make a picture in the farmers
mind of the movement of the pro-
ducts of his soil and labor from his
own gate through to the distant points
fthe world, to Europe, to Algiers, to
Athens, and the Orient.
THE highways transport service is
the first step in the great system of
transportation to the sea, and then on
the merchant marine to the far points
of the world.
Food must begin to move soon from
from every hill, through every valley
of the great country behind our shores,
down to the shipping points, before
we can start our ships from the ports
and fulfill our duty; and, with the
promise of the wars end before US, the
highways transport committee
throughout this land could and should
render a peace time service by stimu-
lating highways transport Of nour-
ishment and supplies so badly needed
Routes and channels from shipping
points must be opened up and eff
GENTLY maintained, and our merchant
marine must be built up to meet the
demands of distribution overseas.
! Resistance in any form to- the free
! movement of farm products must be
reduced and eliminated. and the mos
efficient utilization of man-powel
must be introduced wherever possible
THE United States shipping board
urges that this message be carried
through you and your regional chair
men to the state organizations and or
down through your great body of pa
triotic men whose vision can well en-
brace the crying need of their brothers
in other lands for help. Very truly
yours,

THINK THEY SHOULD
GET THEIR FULL PAY
DURING EPIDEMIC

There is a general belief among the
teachers of the Phoenix High school
that they should be paid their full sala
ries for the time the school has been
closed on account of the epidedic. They
are now getting full pay since the cor
respondence system was adopted, but
there was about six weeks when only
half pay was allowed them and some of
them were obliged TO borrow money to
live through that period
Though all the grammar and rural
schools were closed for the same period
and are yet closed, all districts except
one, Isaac. have paid their teachers in
full and will continue to do so.
1t is the theory Of the high school
teachers that since they were employed
by the year, and further, that since
they were not responsible for the cpl
demic. they should not be made to suf-
fer financially for it. AS a matter of
law, they believe that they are entitled
to pay for the time covered by the con-
tract, provided they stand ready to per-
form the duties for which they were to
be paid.

TWOWOME

SENT OVERSEAS.
Federation Of Clubs Will
Select Fortunate Ones By
Mail Winners to Sail For
France On January %

Two Arizona women are to be sent
overseas for service in the Y. NJ. c. A.
during the Rehabilitation period.
Named by the Arizona Federation of
Women's Clubs and approved by the
government and the "Y." the represen-
tatives of the state will sail from New
York for France on January 90. Club
women are specializing as to the choice
of the executive board of the federation
which has the naming of the candi-
dates. AS their names will not be an
nounced until their acceptance has been
received, it is difficult to surmise the
women under consideration by the
board.
The idea of clubwomen as hostesses
in the "Y'' huts abroad was conceived
by the general federation, when it in
augurated Victory fund. which has
grown to s15O,O0O. Another 100000
must be added to the treasury for the
expenses of the two women from each
state, who will represent the clubdom
of America in France and Belgium.
Select BY Mail
Miss Jane Gregg, member of the ex-
ecutive board of the state federation,
said yesterday that the Arizona wo-
men will be nominated by correspond
ence. She stated that it would be i'm
possible to hold a board meeting at the
present time, and in view of the fact
that the m m b ers are scattered
| throughout the state, it was thought
! best to carry on the business of selec-
ton by mail. The rigid requirements
of the government for women for for
eign service, she stated, has cut dowr
the list of eligibles to a very consider
able extent. After the selection has
been made it must be passed upon by
the government authorities, as well a:
the ''Y' officials, so that it will be nee
essary to reach a decision within {
| week or two, said Miss Gregg.
She refused to discuss any possibl,
candidate, declaring the time had no
arrived for such discussion. That Ari
IONA will be represented by typica
clubwomen, broad minded, diplomatic
and clever, was conceded. while it wa!
admitted that keen knowledge of hu
man nature and a capacity for sympa
thy and understanding would be re
quirements that would also govern tn
selection.
These to Nominate
The nominating committee, compris
ing the executive board of the stat
federation, follows: President, Mrs. r
