RED CROSS LAW.

Admiral Sims, commanding the American ma
val forces in European watersf has seut the fol-
lowing message Of appreciation of the work OF
the American Red Cross to the war Council of
that organization:
'I have often heard people say Why is it ne
cessary to care for sick and wounded soldiers
and sailors through organization like the
American Red Cross? Why does not the gov
eminent take charge of the work. The fact
of the matter is the government is not capable
of doing it the way the Red Cross does. All
government activity, particularly this work. i
governed by rules and regulations and an audi
tor. All these rules and regulations are made
with view to what is likely to happen, but all
needs cannot be foreseen.
when an emergency turns up We sometimes
have not the facilities, sometimes not the legal
authority to do all we ought to do. The Red
Gross man is like combination of the Presi-
dent of the United States, the cabinet and both
houses of Congress. He can make law quick
as you can write check. The emblem of the
Red Cross is two small pieces of red tape laid
neatly across each other. But so far as know
this is the only bit of red tape they've got. They
can do things unhampered by rules or regula-
tions. When our men are sick or wounded and
we need quick action, unhampered and free,
that's where the Red Cross comes to the front.

SERVICE MEMORIAL.

The first service club for men in uniform
opened in New York City after the United States
declared war is to be perpetuated as memorial
club by the National League for Woman's Ser
vice as a tribute to the American soldiers, sail
ors, and marines who gave their lives that peace
might be established throughout the world The
plan of the Memorial Club which will be for the
use Of all men who have served in the war, and
also for all men of the regular Army and Navy,
mas been announced by Miss Maude Wetmore
national chairman of the League.
IT believe if our men, who have served so mag
nifcently and sacrificed so nobly could express
their wishes as to fitting immortal, they would
suggest, not stately monument of stone or
tablets of bronze, silver gold, but club where
the home fires would always be burnng-where
the home atmosphere, the home touch would al
ways be waiting ready to welcome any man who
has served in the great Army Navy, which
made victory possible. Such has been the Club
to the men who went across, the last touch of
home to those who were called upon to make the
supreme sacrifice

AMERICAS NEW CITIZENS.

When our armies returned from the war there
will be in the ranks of the victorious soldiers
$4,000 or more new citizens of the United States.
This country will spell "home" to tens of thous-
ands of men who were aliens when they sailed
away to fight for the country that is now their
own, for in the midst of battles the Bureau OF
Naturalization has reached out to extend the
privileges of citizenship to all foreigners who
were defending the principles of liberty under
She Stars and Stripes.
Louis Weinberger, sent across seas to carry
out the Governments n aturalization program,
returned recently after three months OF hard
work, for it was his duty to follow up $4,000 of
the 10000 naturalization blanks especially pre-
pared for the war emergency.
According to the plan worked out by the bu-
reau, in conference with the Judge Advocate
General, scheme to expedite the usual process
of naturalization made practicable and legal.
The required formalities were reduced to the
simplest terms The preliminary declaration of
intention was waived and it was made possible
TO issue the final papers without any lapse of
time. The applicant could execute one paper in
duplicate, together with afidavits, and take the
oath of allegiance-all in short order.
The first serious problem was to reach all the
aliens in the distribution of the blanks but this
was soon solved by sending the papers through
bridge headquarters and thus reaching the COM
pany units. In many cases extra blanks were
sent for, and so far the exact number actually
used has not been obtained. Although natural
ization was not in any way compulsory, it
soon evident that there general desire to
attain citizenship wherever foreigners were serv-
ing, and that was everywhere in the armies of
the United States. Among the applications near
ly every nation on the globe was represented. Be
cause of the haste with which so many soldiers
we're made citizens, however, it must not be sup
posed that the bars requiring that men accepted
by the nation should be worthy of enrolment
as Americans were let down. Owing to military
regulations each mans history had been care
fully tabulated and then the men who were max
ing the world safe for democracy belonged to
class that was whole trustworthy.
One of the interesting phases of this wholesale
naturalization enterprise had to do with alien
enemies Even these who could prove their
loyalty were entitled to citizenship, and num-
Der of Austrians and Germans took the oath of
allegiance to the flag. Owing to the efficiency
of the Bureau of Military Intelligence, there was
little danger of mistakes in the admission of un-
desirable men.

"PACEMAKER" GIVES
 VALLEY SEND 0FF

The Oldsmobile and Ferguson Keeler company of this city who are the dis tributors of these cars for this state have just received considerable nation- wide publicity, with the Salt River valley and the cotton industry coming in for their share of this publicity.
 This months issue of the "Pacemah- CT" a monthly publication of the Clds Motor works of Lansing, Michigan, con- tained a lengthy article on the cotton industry of this valley and covers the general agricultural industries of the state as well. The article was illus trated with photographs of cotton fields in the Chandler district and also pictures of the pump water system used in irrigating these lands were shown. In all these illustrations appeared a T. passenger Oldsmobile "S' furnished by the Ferguson keeler company.
 The "Pacemaker" has circulation of perhaps 750000 and the article is a credit to the progressiveness of the To- cal Oldsmobile agency which is rated at the factory as one of the livest Olds dealers in the country. The Ferguson keeler company have doubtless distrib- uted more Odsmobles in their terri tory since they have had an agency. in proportion to population than any one other Oldsmobile dealer, and they have always been one of the most ardent boosters for this state.

GAR SINKS IN RIVER. MEN SWIM ID BANK

The most thoroughly water logged and sand saturated car ever seen in these parts was dragged into Simp- sons garage late last night. It was Maxwell, the property of D. M. Tucker a storekeeper on the Sacaton reserva- tion who, by the way. narrowly missed being the chief figure at a funeral
 Yesterday morning he and Harry Azul. an Indian boy, left the reserva- tion for Phoenix. They found the Gila higher than they desired, but believed that they could effect crossing. Mid way in the stream the hood was sub merged. They also found that they were in quicksand. and the car was going down rapidly. Both had just time to leap into the water before the sinking top would have penned them, and they swan to the northern shore.
 Finding some Indians, they got four teams of horses and ropes and went back to salvage the car if any part of it could be seen. There was a small, almost invisible strip of the top above water. Two Indians swan out and attached the ropes to the car and it was dragged out. In that fashion it was lowed into the garage last night. The carburetor and every possible re- ceptacle for sand was filled.

Last and Best of Noble Lime
 Come t@ Earth

An old landmark is no more. It Twas an ash tree, most tenacious of life, but it yielded yesterday after noon before a light western wind. Like many a man who succurbs, its heart had been eaten out. This tree stood just east of Tho Republi- can office. After the street was paved and the curbstone was put in, it was shut off from irrigation. How it lived, no one knows but it lived meagerIy and declined steadily. In frequent rains, sometimes months apart, and now and then Good Samaritan with hose, contributed to it's existence, but all this was pre- carious support.
 It was the last of noble com pany, row of ash trees that lined the street from Second east. One that stood at the corner of Second and Adams streets, near neighbor of this relic, was one of the shape Hest trees in Phoenix. It had a trunk eighteen inches in diameter, and regular and evens spreading branches that extended nearly to the middle of the street.
 Tree-lovers used to go blocks out of their way to gaze again upon it's beauty, and those who were not tree lovers became so when they saw it.. That tree probably contributed greatly to the popularity of the ash as shade tree. But it went years ago, and there are people in Phoenix who often think about it and talk about it. There have been scores of citizens who have gone hence and left behind less of affectionate mem ory than that ash tree; they were men who had done less for Phoenix than that tree had done.
 And now its brother has gone, the sole survivor of freedom on that side of the street within a half doz- en blocks of the business district. On the other side, in front of the Thayer property, directly in the business district, is an umbrella which by continuously operating miracle still lives.

FIRESTONE SERVICE

The establishment of the Firestone service organization in the center os all district where trucks are largely used is giving wide popularity to the Firestone pressed-on tires. The basic merits of this tire lies in the fact that the channel is forced directly on to the fellow band of wheel. eliminating all intermediate steel parts, thereby re- ducing the weight This question of weight is of importance under certain conditions and particularly to those using electric trucks.

 DAUGHTERS AND
 HANGS HERSELF
Mrs. o. B. Moore, For Years. In Ill-Health, Ends Life
 YesterdayAnd Is Discov- cred When They Return

Mrs. o. B. Moore, wife of the labor representative on the newly United States labor community board for Maricopa county, hanged herself yesterday afternoon at the family resi- dence on Whitton street, east of the Osborn school. The body was later cut down by order of Coroner Charles D. Wheeler and removed to Moore & Me Lellan's undertaking parlors. A yer dict of suicide was returned by the corOner's jury
 Mrs. Moore was alive at o'clock, ac- cOrding to neighbors. At about , o'clock, Marion Moore, 14-year-old daughter of Mrs. Moore, discovered the body of her mother dangling by a clothes line tied to a rafter in a water tank house just back of the dwelling house.
 Found by Daughter
 Marion and her little sister, Esther, aged about 6 years, had just returned from Phoenix and entered the house the first thought being of their mother After searching the house they went to the tank house, Marion being some what in advance of the other child. She looked up and saw the body of her mother and then rushed screaming out and calling to neighbors.
 A Mrs. Whitmore, living nearby, was the first to hear the screams of the children and notified the sheriffs of flee, and also Miss Winifred Moore, IS years old, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Moore, who was in Phoenix.
 Long Been III Deputy Sheriff J E. ONeil Coroner Wheeler, Constable Haze Burch and six men to serve on a coroners jury were rushed to the scene in automobiles. Winifred had reached the house only a short time before and was in such a state physically, due to the shock of her mothers death. that Coroner Wheeler requested that physician be summoned. Dr. H. A. Hughes re- | sponded.
 Mrs. Moore, according to a report made by neighbors to the authorities, was, until about two years ago. a pa tient at the state institution for the | insane. She and her family lived in l the present house for about one and | one-half years. Neighbors reported that Mrs. Moore had never been known to act other than normal and con cluded that yesterday she must have suddenly had a recurrence of the old trouble.
 In Bathing Suit
 This theory was borne out by the fact that Mrs. Moore dressed herself In a bathing suit when she apparently planned to end her life. When she was last seen alive she wore an ordinary house dress and had this house dress on when her three children, Winifred Marion and Esther, left the house and took Q street car for the city early ir the afternoon.
 The body was clothed in black bathing suit and black stockings wher cut down by the authorities. Mrs Moore in ending her life used only z short piece of rope. She apparently climbed up a ladder nailed to the in side of the tank house. tied the rope to a rafter immediately under the
