Warm water every day in every bath

NOTES FROM THE O. T. C.

Lieut.. Walter s. Hunter and DR. Leo
j. Brueskner from the Surgeon Cen
erals Office visited the Third Off,
GERS Training Camp this past week
bringing with them a series of tests
which We're put to the men and In
structors. These tests were designed
TO guage the cadet officers inteli-
gence. They were prepared bv the
leading psychologists of the country
after some one hundred thousand ex-
periments had been made. The oues-
ions asked Were seemingly nonsensi-
car, DuE were nevertheless ones which
have been found to determine with a
great degree Of accuracy the inteln-
gence of the student. The test goes
by the name, THE Military Test
Great satisfaction was expressed by
the commanding officer with the re-
suits; for Camp Hancock O. IT. c.
came second in. average rating Of all
y. 4. G. camps In the country.
Men have been selected from the
school to form a platoon to receive
instructions in 'ocer the top" work.
These men are working under the di-
reetton of Captain Ullern and Lieut..
Ernest of the French Military Com
mission. When trained the platoon
is to be used for demonstrating pur-
posed before officers, throughout the
division. 1t is expected that the course
of training will last two weeks.
There are two reasons why har-
mony, discipline and progress are in
evidence at the artillery branch of the
o. 7. =. First, because 1t is artillery.
Once an arti1leryman-alw an ar
tilleryman! There is considerable SEN
timent attached to this branch of the
service. An artilleryman loves his
horse and his calling in every way, as
in civil life, a man must love his work
to be successful, Second, because OF
Capt Purucker and his assistants, Its.
Browning and O'Brien. There is an
absolute thoroughness in every lee

PACE |S STARTED TOPUT PHOENIX
 "0VER THE T0P"
Total Liberty Loan Sub
 scription in City Last Night, $1,15O,OOO; Leaves
 $663, ,655 Yet to Be Raised

Stimulated by President Wilson's re- ply to the German peace offer, the Fourth Liberty loan went forward yes terday at a pace, which if it can be maintained until the close of the cam paign will probably put Phoenix and Marlcopa county over the top. Re portStO Liberty loan headquarters last night showed that Maricopa county had raised Sl,423,S50 of it's quota of $2,615,- 500, leaving $1,191,750 yet to be ob- tained.
 Phoenix responded nobly yesterday to the presidents answer and to his accompanying appeal to the people of America to oversubscribe the loan. Up to last night Phoenix had sub scribed $1,150,O00 to the loan, leaving s663,655 to be raised before the close Of the campaign Saturday night.
 Means s15o,ooO Day
 This means over $15O,O0O day for the rest of this week, but Liberty Loan workers are confident that if every body buys to the utmost of his ability that the task can be accomplished.
 Subscriptions through Liberty loan headquarters yesterday totalled $60,- 900. This is one of the best days rec ords made during the campaign. Ac- cording to data on file at headquarters there were 7,262 subscribers to the fourth loan in Phoenix up to yesterday noon. The subscribers in Maricopa county total 10,151 it was announced last night. This is still 5000 short of the goal set at the beginning of the campaign. and over 5000 short of the number of persons subscribing to the third loan.
 The $5,000 List
 Hal Bird, one of the owners of the Jefferson hotel, yesterday started a S100,000 club in Phoenix with a sub scription of 5000. contingent upon 19 other persons subscribing like amount or better. The movement met with an enthusiastic reception imme- diately, and up to last night the fol- lowing names of persons who have bought bonds of the fourth loan in the amount of S5,000 or more had been added to the list:
 The following have bought Liberty bonds in amount of 5000 or more:

 Bond Stacker Is
 Made to Parade
With This Exception We Are

With This Exception We Are 100 Per Cent"
 The above sign glaringly dis played on his breast, Charles Reas, a carpenter in the employ of the Arizona Eastern railroad company hands tied in front of him, a rope around his neck, was escorted through the business streets of the city early yesterday evening by feI- low Workmen at the railroad shops, by motor cars, men and all the shouting and all the jeering boys in town.
 Reas IS an alleged bond stacker. The employees of the Arizona East ern here were 109 per cent in the last Liberty loan and were de- termned to get into that list in the present loan campaign. But Reas was the stumbling block. To all appeals and entreaties to buy bond he turned a deaf ear.
 Then 1t was decided to make an object lesson of him. At closing time yesterday afternon they in formed him of what they intended to do. At first he paid but little attention, but when he saw they meant business he had chanqe of heart and offered to take a bond, But 1t was too late, and the pro- gram went through as planned.
 Procuring the yeIlowest of paint, they decorated the face of Reas, and also his hat and placed a siqn on his breast. With hands tied and rope around his neck, the par ade started. The strange process sion moved from the Arizona East ern shops through the principal streets of the city, stopping at the corner of Washington and Central where Reas was made to bow to the statue of Liberty and to kiss the flag.
 As the procession advanced it gathered boys of every age and also men and the jeering increased. The police, under charge of Cap tam Sutherland and Detective Mo Grath, fearing violence, kept sharp watch on proceedings. At second avenue and the railroad tracks they took charge of the man and es- corted him to the police station Where he was kept for a time for protection.
 Later he was released. The Liberty loan committee, however, learning of the proceedings, or dered Reas to again be taken in custody, and Officer BroyIes at a late hour last night arrested the man and took him to the police station. A search of his cIothina revealed that he had $223.e7 in his possession, distributed about his person.
 Reas, who says he was born in St. Paul and is an American. is single man with no dependents, thus hIs refusal to buy a bond is con sldered to be absolutely without ex- cuse. He has been in the employ of the Arizona Eastern for about two years. Ordinarily he works on the road with the carpenterino gang, but for time he has been employed at the yards in this city.

Encouraging Reports

Only six more names are needed to make up the list of 20 subscribers to the club, and it is the hope of Liberty loan workers that they will be forth coming early today
 Encouraging reports from over the county continued to come in yester- day. Aguila, on the Parker cutoff of the Santa Fe, reported $500 in Liberty loan subscriptions yesterday. This subscription was a source of gratifica- tIon to the Liberty loan committee, in- asmuch as no definite quota had been asked from this place.
 Additions to the list of honor firms yesterday included the Chambers Transfer company, V. Anderson and company, the National Bank of Arizo- ma, with total subscription of SS6,- 500, representing every employe of that institution, the Western Auto Supply company, the Santa Fe traffic office. Where four employees bought $1,300 worth of bonds, and others.
 Show Girls Help
 Members of the Broadway Follies company cruising through the down. town district on a large motor truck and pausing at important corners to boost the loan added materially to re- turns yesterday. They were assisted Tn their campaign by George A. Mauk of the Columbia theater, at whose in- stance the campaign was undertaken. and by number of soldiers recently returned from the front. Their bond selling campaign will be continued to- day and throughout the campaign.
 There are still a number of com mittees that have not yet turned in their reports to headquarters As it is very important that this information be in the hands of the management of the campaign at once, all such com mltteemen are urged to get their re- ports Tn this morning. Only by prompt reports can it be known just how the campaign is going, and thus enabling the city managers to direct their ef- forts to the checking up of slackers and the increasing of subscriptions.
 Tell of Slackers
 A large number of anonymous let ters regarding bond slackers are be- ing received at Liberty Loan head quarters at the chamber of commerce. Although the committee appreciates the efforts of the writers of these let ters to bring the names of Slackers to the attention of headquarters, vet in order that only bona fide cases may be investigated it has been decided to pay no attention to anonymous communications. All letters giving the names of alleged bond slackers will be held in strict confidence. but they must be signed, otherwiseNthe committee charged with the responsi- bility of investigating these cases will be compelled to ignore them.
 The following statement was issued last evening by the shock committee. which met yesterday for the purpose of investigating cases of persons who
