CHANDLER HAS GONE
 "OvER THE TOP" AND
 KEEPS ON WORKING

CHANDLER, Ariz, Oct. 16.-The Chandler district went over the top Monday in it's Liberty loan quota of $51,600 amid the great enthusiasm of the little band of loyal workers. On Tuesday 5000 more was added to this total and the committees are hard at it to attain a total of s75,000. About a half dozen men in this district are de- veloping a trait of slackerism and un less they buy bonds the "willful six will be taken to Phoenix for investiga- tion, inspection and treatment
 On Monday some fifty men started out to round up the ranchers, and it was this spurt, combined with a sub scription of $10000 from Dr. A. J. Chandler, that sent the district over the top. The previous high record for single day, made Saturday by the committee composed of Mesdames b. M. Arnold, R. NJ. Winters, P. NJ. James and Rich. Singleton and aggregating $1750 worth of bonds, was broken Monday by over s15,000. Dr. Chandler had at first signified that he would buy $7,500 worth of bonds, but no doubt in fluenced by the appeal of President Wilson, increased this to s10,000. His subscription was secured by Ernest J. Koch
 Great credit should be given to the women for the work they have done and are still doing in the drive. Mrs Winters, who is assistant manager for the mems committee and chairman for the women, has been on the job for the past two weeks, working faithfully in securing subscriptions and doing a multitude of detail work
 Manager S. A. Meyer, together with the trustees, takes this opportunity to extend sincere thanks to all the willing and enthusiastic workers who have made the campaign over the top so successful.

TEMPE HONOR FLAG IF F0URTHL|BERTYLOAN
 WAVES WITH THIRD

TEMPE, Oct. 17.-Tempe citizens are very proud of the two handsome flags that are now waving over Mill avenue at the intersection of Fifth street. The one earned in the third loan has two stars, signifying that Tempe went over her quota by 200 per cent. The one representing the fourth loan has no stars as yet, but there is no doubt that it will be entitled to at least one when the week is over. Tempe had raised more than her quota several days ago and it is expected the subscriptions will total s125,000 at the end of the week.
 Very little soliciting has been nec- essary and even now when it is known that Tempe has more than done her share there seems to be no indication of stopping. There are Certainly no slackers here.
 The normal school has this week earned the privilege of being placed in the 100 per cent column.

South Mcdonald Street to be Paved

ooutn mcOonaid street to De Paved
 The city council of Mesa has grant ed the petition of the property owners along South Mcdonald street from First avenue to the depot, asking that paving be put in. This comprises something more than two blocks and connects with the block now being paved from First avenue north to Main streeN The granting of the peti- tion has been held up owing to a diff ference of opinion among the owners as to whether they wished a center strip or two strips along the sides of the street with the center left un- paved. The reason for this is the extreme width of Mesa streets, being as they are 100 feet from curb to curb. It was finally decided that the street should be left unpaved for five feet from the sidewalks so that the irriga- tion ditches and shade trees might be spared then pave a strip 20 feet wide on each side, with the remaining DOT tion between unpaved. In time tc some this center may either be paved or set to trees, as the future city dads and property owners may decide.
 A movement is now on fott to pave West Main street to the city limits and it is confidently believed that a petition to this effect will be before the next meeting of the council.

otherwise. This requires from 150,000 to 100000 changes per month.
 By transferring to the War and Navy Departments all allotments not carry ing allowances the Bureau of War Risk Insurance can concentrate all it's attention upon payments to persons entitled to the government allowance, and it is believed that this simplifica- tion of the work will tend to speed up the delivery of checks to these per sons.
 Although the institution of these changes may cause temporary delay and concern to soldiers families un less the reasons for the changes are carefully explained, it is expected that the ultimate result will greatly re- dound to their benefit, and the Guar termaster Generals Office state that no delay is anticipated.
 l In some instances, however, relatives of a soldier or sailor may find that their man in the service has not taken the necessary steps outlined above to see that his people at home continue to receive the same payments as for merly through the War or Navy De- partments instead of through the Bu- reau of War Risk Insurance. In such
 
 urging upon him the necessity of talk ing the necessary action. It is a mat ter which lies purely in his discretion. He is under no compulsion from the government.
 To relieve any resulting hardship:
 It is also of the greatest importance that soldiers and sailors and their families should be inspired with confi- dence that if distress results in any case by reason of these changes in government procedure the Red Cross home service stands ready to relieve it. Wherenecessary to prevent hardship the Red Cross will make interim pay ments from it's own funds until the government checks arrive. Relatives of enlisted men should not regard this as charity, but as part of the respon- : sibility which the Red Cross has as- sumed for maintaining the morale of American soldiers and sailors by in- stilling them with confidence that their families will not suffer for the ne- cessities of life during their absence. -O

 HOUSE OF SICKNESS

TEMPE, Oct. 16.-The Red Cross sewing committee has been asked by headquarters to be very careful that sewing is not taken into the homes where there is influenza and to notify it's members that should a case occur while they have work in the house to place it aside at once and not work on it as long as the sickness lasts; also to fumigate the garment before turning it in. A faithful following out of this precaution is very necessary to protect our boys in the army.

EnUOyTttrned
DOlUr1byAuies

Washington, July 13.-Reports of
the repulse by allied legations in
Berne of an alleged Austrian peace
emissary has been confirmed by the
Journal Of Geneva, says an official
dispatch today from Switzerland.
According to the reports, an Aus
trian from the Pacifist party of Pro-
fessor Lammasch arrived several
days ago at Berne. This emissary
visited several legations OF the al
lied powers but in no case was he
received.
Doctor Perron, an American liv-
ing in Switzerland, has made pub
lie his experiences with these
would-be peace makers. 1t is we'll
understood that in all the European
countries but not only in Switzer-
land persons from the central
powers have more than once pro-
fessed to be bearers of peace pro-
posals but they have been discred-
tied by diplomats as amateurs who
are meddling with matters of which
they were in the main ignorant.
Amsterdam, July IA semi
official telegram received here to-
day from Vienna says:
There have been many rumors
lately that Austro-Hungaria
agents in Spain and Switzerland
have been seeking to establish con-
tact with entente emissaries with a
view to making overtures Tor peace.
All such rumors are unfounded."

OfHOfne TOtUfa

New York, July 13.-Arrange-
ments to distribute neighborhood
news to all of the American fight
ing forces abroad have been per
fected by the foreign press cable
service bureau of the committee on
public information. This new feat
ure, designed to give to American
soldiers such news as they might
expect to receive in letters from
their relatives and friends if the
mails could be depended upon, will
be edited by Herman Suter.
The service will be sent to France
and wherever American soldiers are
stationed every day by one of the
big German wireless plants which
has been operated by the govern
ment since the European war start
ed and used extensively for Amer
lean propaganda, including the
world broadcasting of President
Wilson's speeches during the war.
The reports will be delivered free
of all tolls to military publications
in France, and where no news
papers can be distributed bulletins
will be supplied to headquarters of
the different units for posting on
bulletin boards The reports will
be copied also by the wireless
plants of American warships wher-
ever stationed.
Press associations and newspa-
pers generally have agreed 10 CO.
operate with the committee in MAX
ing the service a success. The part
played by the Associated Press, for
instance, will be largely in the
hands OF the bureaus scattered
throughout the United
States. Some one in each bureau
called upon by the committee will
send a brief telegraphic dispatch to
the committee in New York either
daily or two or three times a week,
according to the need, giving mere
ly the high spots Of the news local
TO the territory covered by such
bureau
Each item will be Just about what
would appear in the headlines Of
local papers to describe important
local events, such as nominations
by political parties, deaths of prom
inent citizens of the different states,
fires, weddings of statewide inter
est, and other news Of less than in
or national interest and
therefore certain not to be cabled
for publication in English, French
or Italian newspapers.
In this way It is hoped to give to
the soldiers from every state at
least two or three items of news
from their home state or city each
week
