Honor to Whom Honor is Due

NlQHOF kQ WnCHl E1OHOT A5 OuG
 Mesa has one German born resident concerning whom several men in con- versation yesterday, stated should be more readily recognized as a patriotic American citizen, and yet who at times has been made to feel somewhat Seenly the fact for which he is no way responsible viz: that he was born within the domain of the kaiser.
 Reference is had 10 Fred Maier a resident of Mesa for many years, mem- ber of the city council and a worthy citizen. Maier yesterday bought over Si00 worth of baby bonds, stipulating that they be accrediated to the Pyth- ian Sisters campaign, which was put on for the day. This purchase com pletes his S1,000 purchase of these lit- tle bonds, which amount is all that the government will permit any enc person to hold.
 Many of those who see this stolid looking man calmly smoking his pipe on the street corner. are unaware that he fled Co America as a refugee from the iron oppression of the German army. He was for seven and one-half years a soldier, serving for three years more than his required time, during which three years he saw service in Africa. Returning home he was ac- corded furlough of 10 days and dur ing this time he attended a dance in his home town. While dancing with a young woman whom he had known from childhood, an army captain came up and rudely took the soldiers part uer from him and when Maier remon- strated struck him in the face. With n saber, Maier struck the officer over the head wounding him severely, and ram from the house. Catching a trair he hurried to a seaport, boarded shiI and came to America, which country he says saved his life, by extending its freedom to the runaway.
 As soon as possible he became nat. - iralized, and when the Spanish Amer. ican war broke out, he was the ont 9 man from Mesa to volunteer. However after waiting in line at Phoenix fol two days, he with number of other. were notified that all the men needed had been secured.
 The above story is not one of braga docio on the part of Mir. Maier, bu has been gathered a little at a tim, and is known to but few.
 It is believed that the public shoul, be made acquainted with the trutl concerning the matter of the patriot ism of the Maier family and accor, them the same fair treatment an, square deal that is so much the boas of the west.

SAVIOURS
By ANGELA MORGAN

Yours is the daring skill to tread The waters of world at war; Yours is the miracle to shed Where rocking seas of hatred are, Courage and comfort, like a star. You cry unto an earth dismayed, And God is thrilling in your tone: Brothers, the ship is not alone; Be not afraidr'
 Ye are the Christs of this black hour, The Great Physician come again, Within your sacred hands the power To heal the race of men. Ye hold the hurt world to your breast; Ye bind her bruised and broken soul; The sick, the maimed and the oppressed Yours is the gift to make them whole. And where the stricken miles unroll Ye sound the resurrection morn; Above the bier where Justice lies, With visions of an age new born, Ye bid the dead arise
 World, that walkest now in tears Where Truth again is crucified After the thousand, thousand years- See yet that Christ is not denied!

THE HEROISM OF MERCY
By OPIE READ

There is no greater heroism than the heroism of mercy. There is no truer bravery than the bravery of tenderness. Out of the crash of nation against nation arises a Christ-like sympathy, and the insignia of its tenderness is the cross of red. It is the only remaining glow of a Christian hope It is religion under shell fire. It is sigh set to the music of sympathetic action. If man who speaks truth should say to you, with the use of five dollars you can save a

Jewish Welfare Board. the American Library Association, and the Wac Camp Community work back homo It is the secret, too, of Pershing's un- exampled pains to develop the pow CT and use of chaplains among his troops.
 An innocent revelation of headQuar- ters secrets shows the general express ing to his staff: Gentlemen, this army of ours has a heart and a con- science, and that heart and conscience must be fed"
 General Pershing 1t was who creat- ged the heretofore unheard of office senior chaplain" of the army and appointed Bishop Brent to the place. Rev. Paul Moody, son of the great evangelist. and Father Doherty,, a Catholic, are now the Bishops asso- ciates at headquarters. The three prelates are unanimously harmonious in their optimism about the Ameri- can army in France:
 Tt is an army on a higher plane in every way" declares Chaplain Moody than 1t was in the training camps at home.

GREAT EVENTS IMPEND
 IN PRUSSIAN STATES

Washington, Oct 17-Great events are impending in Germany. That they will come within a day, week or a month, officials will not hazard q in Washington doubts.
 Unofficial reports coming from Holland and Switzerland that Ger many immediately will accept Presi- dent Wilson's peace terms are with out confirmation here; nor is there any information that Germany's re- ply has been drawn. In fact, Swiss despatches saying the Reichstag will meet tomorrow to discuss President Wilson's note would indicate no reply has yet been drafted.
 Internal conditions as we'll as the military situation are expected to dic- tate both the form and promptness of Germany's answer. One was re- garded as only a little less serious than the other ;and there always was the possibility that combined they had forced the German leaders to a con clusion even before the first note ask ing for an armistice was dispatched. From behind the veil of secrecy within the empire runnbings of dis content long have been reaching the outside world but the extent of the upheaval cannot yet be accurately gauged. The fact that radical changes are being made in the Ger maA constitution. and Alnofficia1 re- ports that the Kaiser has relinquished his power to decare martia aw are | but further indications that the power of the Junkers rapidly is waning.

Paris. Oct. 6-(By maiD-The fin- est thing that can be said about the American army in France is that its leader is just as anxious to see. his soldiers maintain a clean, faithful standard of manly integrity as to see them come off victorious in battle; that the soldiers are as anxious to live up to that standard as they are to sweep the enemies of liberty off the map.
 Not often in world history has 1t been possible to say this about a gen. eral and his army, but it can be said with absolute truth about General John Pershing and the American EX- peditfonary forces. General Persh- ing knows, as a real soldier, that an army of men sound and strong in personal character is necessarily a more dependable army in Q military sense than could ever be constituted d from rogues and ruffians.

Some newspapers take it for granted that Emperor William will abdicate. The Express says that. for some time he has been sending his valuables to Holland. II
 Some editorials express the view that the disappearance of the Elm peror is immaterial.
 ''He Is a mere symbol and figure head of what we pledged to destroy" says the Telegraph. 'It Is what will be substituted for his insane and dis asterous rule that matters"
 Alteration of the German constitu- ton, by which civilian power would be admitted to share in the control of matters pertaining to the war, is L subject of utmost importance. By this alteration the Emperor would cease to be the supreme war lord.
 This step" says the Daily News, means broadly that the Kaiser has surrendered to President Wilson and is equivalent to an admission that all Is lost" The Express claims to have trust worthy information to the effect that | Germanys surrender is imminent, l adding:

DON'T WASTE CASOL|NE;ST0P
 THE ENGINE

Hartford, Oct 17--An urgent ap- peal to- the public not to waste gas- oline by leaving motors running, af- ter stopping their cars, was issued today by Thomas W. Russell, United States Fuel Administrator for Con- necticut.
 MT Russell said that investigation showed that thousands of gallons of gasoline were being wasted in this manner, and he quoted a letter from C.. s. DeForest, a Stamford business man, who reported that his Ford de- livery car with careless driver used about 40 gallons a week, but with, a thoughtful driver, who shuts off his engine, now averages less than 25 gall i Ions per week, though the number of deliveries has increased.
 "In every city and town in Con- necticut both pleasure cars and com mercial trucks are seen standing still with motors running, while the driv- CTS are making calls or delivering goods" said MT. Russell. "These men neglect to shut off their engines through carelessness or because they
 are too lazy to crank the cars. Though they may not know it, they are doing Injury to their country at a time of
 national crisis, because they are help ing to defeat the governments aim of
 conserving gasoline for use in con-
 ducting the war abroad. Not only
 should public opinion discourage this
 practice, but the owners of cars
 should see to it that they and their
 employees shut off the engine when
 ever the car is stopped, because this
 means an actual economy of no small importance.'
