BALLOON OBSERVERS
 NEED KEENEST EYES
(Pittsburg Dispatch)

Hardly train moves within five miles back of the German trenches. or squadron of men come up for relief or digging begun on a new series of emplacements but pair of keen eyes, steadily watching from great observa- tion balloons just behind the allied front, takes notice of it. Every move ment. every activity, is registered until a schedule of the usual enemy routine is built up and the average amount of motion known. Any departure from this schedule is suspicious. A train running late or with more cars than usual, men in the trenches being re- lieved too frequently. new roads or em- placements being built too earnestly, give the first hint that Fritz" across the line is up to something.
 A keen balloonist notes any of these changes and at once telephones down to the ground, An extra train of six cars passed at 10:40." Half a mile farther down the line another pair of eyes reports, Large convoy moving up to front, range so and so." Still little farther down another suspicious circumstance is noted. until the general staff down below, assembling all these straws. foresees the beginning of big offensive across the line. Counter measures are taken, batteries are di- rected, conveys and trenches mashed up and the enemy's plans thrown | eskew.
 Possibly, however. the offensive is to come from the balloonist's own side | The observer ascends with full knowl- edge of all the details of action, em- | boldened probably to move up much nearer the German lines than usual, in DIs ,,f, will be driven off. The opening bom- bardment is d time of ceaseless and vital work spotting shot by shot watching for new enemy batteries tc open up, moving the barrage back ana | forth with the advance of the troops Any error here may send the steel wal into the observers own troops or cost scores of lives later by failure to make a complete demolition of the enemy's | defense.

ELIMINATION COMES
 ID THEIR ROMANCE

A before-the-war romance culmi- mated in simple wedding yesterday afternoon when Miss Faith Postel be- came the bride of Sergeant Oden L. Berry, Judge Stanford reading the service. Only the necessary witnesses were present in the judges chambers where the simple ceremony took place at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. The honeymoon will be passed in Arizona and at the end of the sergeants fur tough he and his bride will return to Eagle Pass, Texas, where the young soldiers is stationed at the present time.
 This was not typical war marriage for the girl and soldier were close friends long before war was declared. The wedding had been agreed upon back in Iowa as long as two years ago, but circumstances kept the young peo- pie apart until yesterday when Ser geant Berry arrived from the south on a fortnight's leave.
 The bride came to Phoenix from In = dependence, Iowa, eight months ago. She has been employed as a nurse at the state hospital and is a clever like able young woman who has made | friends here.
 Sergeant Berry belongs to a well known Kentucky family. He is a member of Company G, 3rd Infantry

Is Mesa to Lose Out?

Mesa is about to fail in her honor able record for going over the top on every patriotic demand heretofore made and fully met by the town and the body of ranchers surrounding. There is no use concealing the fact that the people are not signing the pledges presented by the workers who to all appearances are doing every thing possible to meet the request of the administration as to thrift stamp pledges. The Mesa column is asked to give emphasis to the need of the pledges. being given. There is def mite amount set to be raised through out the nation through the purchase of thrift stamps and baby bonds. This amount, two billion dollars, is an inn mense sum but is easily obtainable if the people of the country rally to this method of saving their money. The workers report the public as willing to buy stamps but unwilling to make any pledges for the next six months. All such should realize that if they but sign up pledge for a certain amount then the government knows that the amount pledged is available and can make preparation to spend that amount accordingly.
 In other words, when a man or woman, a boy or girl pledges, say to save five dollars a month until Jan- uary first, putting the money into thrift stamps, the government knows where one $50 is coming from and makes plans accordingly. June 2Stn is the day set when all pledges shall have been in. Chairman Stapley and his band of earnest workers urge that all who feel at all able to make a definite saving during the coming months, call at the thrift stamp head quarters in the Stewart Realty com. pany office and make their pledge. Il | is simply getting the saving habit, 2 habit by the way. that most of us sorely need to cultivate.
