The Mysterious Mir Rallies. who proved to be Gene Lathrop. did not get Vcrv far on his mapped-out schedule yesterday before he was detected and bro tght up short in the exact pre- scr ed manner.
 Promptly at the announced hour, Rallies showed up at Vic Hanny's store. and after chatting with the clerks for a few minutes he sauntered out and turned to Adams street. On tho corner were a dozen or more men, each with a copy of The Republican grasped n his hand and certain to see Rdfles if he came that way. which they did not for Mir. Lathrop spoke to several of them and then safely turned down Adams street, going west until he reached First avenue.
 Thera were encountered several oth- cr Raf0es hunters, but they did not tumhle 70 the prize right at hand, and so Rallies made for the alley with the intent of entering the Hub clothing store

 ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

GLENDALE, March s.-The show at the club house Friday night netted the building fund handsome sum besides giving the people a most en- Joyable evening. Three little girls. Helen Green, Carol Defever and Dorothy Logue, dressed in quaint old-fashioned style, even to the ruff fled 'pantalettes," carried off the honors of the evening when they sang an old-fashioned love song and danced the stately minuet. They were equal to professionals and showed the careful training they had had. Lafayette Meyers, president of the Glendale State bank, gave sleight of hand performance that was so good that it made the depositors of his bank nervous. He was as- sisted by Miss Curtis. Mrs. Clayton Brooks, with a chorus, sang Me lindy's Wedding Ring" in the usual splendid way. The dancing was es- pecially good in this act. MT. Lewis who has a beautiful voice, sang My Caroline" Miss Curtis assisted bv a chorus of Glendale beauties, sang "The Candle Lights are Burning for You Mrs. Clyde Ketchum, violin. and Mrs. Lafayette Meyers at the piano, furnished the accompaniments.
 E. A. Williams who has been visit ing his daughter, Mrs. G. F. Byers. left last night for Riverside, Cali fornia.

Dr. Fred A. Perry, one of the many Y. M. c. A war workers, and we'll known for his fine work in France, spoke for nearly an hour on the sub ject of the war, to the high school pupils of Phoenix yesterday morning.
 Principal Cook, upon calling the as- sembly, wasted few words on an- nouncements and came immediately to the main occasion for the assembling of the pupils. and introduced Dr. Perry without ceremony.
 pr. Perry started his address with a tribute to the school and pupils. He then plunged into the subject in hand, expressing his firm belief in the fact that every Phoenix high school pupil is loyal to the government, and not against the war.
 If the war should close today" he declared, Germany would be victor, and we would have to immediately be- gin preparing for another war that would make the present little war look like mere drop in the bucket by com parison." To prove his assertion. he cited facts and showed how the Ger mans have enlarged their territory to a great extent since the war begun.
 Russia may go to pieces and give up, poor Rumania may be overrun, Italy may give up the struggle, France may Joe forced to give up in sheer ex- haustion, and England may have her commerce destroyed and her peoples plunged into starvation, but the United States of America will fight until Au- tocracy is wiped from existence and the world established upon a basis of democracy"-with these words pr. Perry closed his speech.
 Trench Life of Today
 In the body of his talk, he told in detail the life and work in the trenches of the soldier of today. "If you were to mount some apromentory overlook ing the battle line,' ne said, You wouldn't be able to see a single man, even if several thousand men be upon i it." To explain this, he stated that 1 the war was carried on mostly under i ground, that is beneath the surface and only during raids, offensives and such times do the men get out from their underground habitations.
 He also explained in detail the sys- tenn of communication trenches used | the front line trenches and the sec ondary trenches. He explained that the battle front of trenches consisted of three trenches running parallel, one 1 behind the other. In the first line l trench, the American soldiers are ac- customed to stay on duty for a period of four days, then they are sent back oi the lines to the camps to recuperate and the occupants of the second line trenches move up to the front, and SC on. ill rotation. He told how this was very easy work compared to the tor lures the French had to endure at tho wars beginning. the men often re. maining in the front ilne trenches fol months at a stretch.
 Just a Bit of Camouflage
 He also talked upon "camouflage' and cited several examples of French ingenuity whereby the 'boches' were deceived, to their loss. He told of tht advance the French were planning a a point on the Aisne river, where great bridge spanned the turbulen stream. The Germans somehow go wind of the project and after repeatc, attempts successfully bombed tn bridge. During the night the f'rencl lstretched canvas over the bridge

will be the safest way for me to avoid dopesters."
 But Eaton proved to be of different mind from that of the average Doubt ing Thomas. and believing the ten dol lars offered by The Republican looked easy, he patched up the three quarter picture of Rallies and took home the bacon.
 At that. Eaton came near losing the ten after being sure he had Rallies, for the first time he failed to give the proper salutatiop, and Rallies merely looked him over and started 10 pass, but Eaton recovered his wits in time to give the proper words and to touch Lathrop with the paper. The Real MT. Rallies, no longer mys- terious. is due to make his bow at the Hip tomorrow.
