sIcAdoo Urges No Let-up in. Campaign for Loan Even
 if Quota Is Reached; Big
 Subscriptions Are Made

Solomonyille is today in the hands of the enemy Phoenix is being shelled by the enemy from a point near Payson, and the Germans and allies are ccnterlns their fighting today at Rumble Bee. according to a map of Arizona in headquarters of the Liber- t. loan
 The map was suggested. by Harry Wclch to Jack Adams of the surveyor generals office. Jack took a map Of Arizona and skillfuily changed it into map of France and enyirons. Phoe- nix is Paris. London is situated at D. point where the Arizona, Nevada and Utah boundaries join.
 The battle line today is almost al Cave Creek, at the nearest point to Phoenix. distance of about 70 miles That big gun has been located at Payson, Amiens is about where Hum- holdt is, and the battle line further on over is 10 miles from Roosevelt liam. Clifton is almost in the hands Df the enemy.
 The new battle line and the battle line before the beginning of this springs offensive drive by the Ger mans are shown on the Adams map.
 In striking contrast these two lines nrc shown on the map. The old line, Bt the nearest point to Phoenix, was hear Ilolbrook, or about 120 miles from Phoenix. airline. Today the line at Cave Creek, as the nearest point, is only 90 miles away.
 Urges Continued Work
 Secretary MeAdoo authorizes the following statement:
 VI learn with deep regret that there is a disposition on the part of the Liberty loan organizations in various parts of the country to discontinue their efforts after they have reached iher quotas or have oversubscribed their quotas to some extent. I re- puested three billion at the minimum the government ought to have with tho hope and expectation that it would be largely oversubscribed and that every Liberty loan committee would exert itself to secure the largest possible oversubscription. I hope the liberty loan committee will ener- getically continue the campaign until It's close in order to secure not only he success of the loan as| whole and the largest possible oversubscrip- ton but also the greatest possible number of individual buyers. When America's sons are now actually fighting on the battle fronts in France and will not stop fighting until the victory for liberty is won, no Liberty loan committee can stop fighting for an oversubscription for the Liberty loan until the campaign closes May i.
 If we stop fighting when we have reached the minimum of the Liberty loan we are not comparable sus- .aining our sons in France who are fighting not for the minimum but for the maximum of Americas rights and world Liberty
 Large Subscriptions Made

yesterday a subscription for s20,000 from the New York Life Insurance company, which represents AriZona's portion of that company's bond allot- ment throughout the United States.
 Two other large subscriptions were received, amounting to S10,000 from Eugene Hackett and Mrs. Hackett.
 Reports from over the field are en- couraging says Chairman Joseph R. Loftus of the county committee. He reports the ranch of c. R. Green as 100 per cent. Green has 320 acres in cotton. All employees there. in- cluding the MeXicans, subscribed to the bonds.
 The governors office lined up 100 per cent, together with other depart ments at the capitol. The county treasurer's office was also placed on the honor roll, every employe having subscribed for one or more bonds.
 Company Aids Quota
 One thousand dollars was sub scribed toward the Phoenix quota through c. N. Simmons, of the United States Rubber company, yesterday

 The eompany's influence for the loan has been eXerted in a nation wide way along another line also, for instead of making it's three million dollar subscription to the loan in a lump sum, it has made substantial purchases in hundreds of cities from coast to coast.
 Over 2000 Stars in Flag
 In addition to having q general patriotic interest in the success of the loan, the United States Rubber com- pany has been spurred to a fighting" interest in the success of the loan and the war by the fact that over two thousand stars-representing a most virile group of it's officers and employes-appear in the silk service flag which hangs as a sacred emblem

1 ADJUSTMENTS l PLEASES
 WITH BRIGHT FUN
 IN RED GAP FILM
ADJUSTMENTS
{ By H. H.)

"Ruggles of Red Gap with Taylor Holmes in the title role, opened at the Columbia yesterday and will prove a delight to all who read the story in the Saturday Evening Post or in book form. It must be admitted that Rug gles" is a hard story to film and the fact that the filming is adequate, real visualization of the story, is its highest praise.
 That much of the picture was filmed in and about Phoenix lends N particu- lar interest here. In fact, since the Phoenix station of the Santa Fe, that wonderful eyesore welcome to the Salt River Valley, is labeled Red Gap" it must be taken that Phoenix is Red Gap and it fits in well in some ways with the storied town of that name.
 There issa laugh in every 10 feet of the picture at the Columbia and a chuckle in each subtitle. There is de- licious comedy from start to finish of the film. for there was never a more clever little story than "Ruggles," with his metamorphosis from English valet to man of affairs and society arbiter in Red Gap.
 Those who have read the book will be sure to want to see the picture and those who enjoy a jolly comedy film with original situations and endless laugh provoking complications will be glad they have seen .Ruggles of Red Gap" on his native and transplanted heath
 'Ruggfes' is at the Columbia for to- day and Saturday.

in the companys main offices at 1190 Broadway, New York.
 The appeal made by the Liberty loan committee for advertising space, found a. ready response from the company because of the recognition of the fact that in this manner more could be done to aid the loan in every city and town than in any other way. except by direct participation in the loan. Following up its advertising the company has gone into most oi the cities where it has advertised and has bought a slice of the bonds, thus putting it's precepts into practice.
 Most of the space contributed for advertising the loan was that general ly used by the United States Tire company whose president, J. N. Gum, has been strongly in favor of duplex advertising of bonds with the pro- ducts of the manufacturers.

Vivian Martin at Lamar.

Vivian Martin, ''the sweetest girl in pictures" opens a two days engage ment at the Lamara today appearing in Frances Hodgson Burnetts, "The Fair Barbarian" To many, this story is fa- miliar as thousands have enjoyed it in book form. Vivian Martin is peculiarly fitted for the portraying of the charm ing American girl who is stranded in a somewhat sleepy and small English town, with a straight laced and snob- bish maiden aunt She is Winsome and has personality that is at all times appealing. and which has been a most important feature in her rapid rise in pictures.
 She is seen in this picture as a typ ical American girl, full of the joy of youth and unable 10 reconcile herself with the routine expected in the little town which forms the locale for the events.
