Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Our Foreign Immigrant

Editor:
 Your article dwelling on the benefits | which will follow by settlement here of | a swarm of Hindus, the representatives l of whom paraded these streets last week, is in my estimation unwarranted by experiences only lately passed through. recalling which, will bar the born enmity that pervades the breast of this nationality. and other national-' ities, hereafter casually mentioned. There is not any doubt whatever but from now on, and following the settle ment of this war, our country is to Ge overrun by hordes of foreigners, who will flee from their overburdened na- tivity, to enjoy the dearly bought ad vantages, and peaceful life, which we have bought at the price of the lives, patriotism, and valor of our American citizenship, and you cannot deny but that these encouraged "barbarians, such as Turks, Russians, and many others, are a double menace to any re- public, for the various reasons.
 First: Colonization and segregation: second. ignorance and socialism; third, the determination to strip our lands of their products and use that acquired wealth elsewhere; fourth, their relig- 1 ious tendencies, which under our reGu- lations, they use to escape military ser vice; fifth their natural acquired. fos- tered and inspired anarchial methods: and sixth, the glaring fact of their rapid degenerating tendencies, which lead them to crime, contention. law Gp- position, and ready desire for revolu- tion.
 Must we relearn, repractice and again blind ourselves, and repeat tho acts of toleration which always trend toward the disruption of our govern ment? Have we, as a nation, failed to learn that any faction, race, or peoples who living among themselves, and fail ing to assimilate in business politics, and our broad systems, are from the moment they infest us a menace, and burden? And yet the church says come; the boomer and capitalist says come; and these great steamship mon- opolies and railroads not only ~aI come, but add, We can arrange yo1r coming"

 5-ACRE TRACTS

Kcafer. Jordan and Grace of Phoenix and Mir Krieg. F. V. Bean and asso- ciatos Cf Riverside Calif, have pur- chased through F.. J. Bennett and com- nany and the Phoenix Trust company. 500 acres of land under the southside of Comeback mountain and the north side 1f Citrus Homes.
 These people already have started ,he installation of the battery of pumps and have contracted for the power, be- ginning the development of this prop er;y. Their plans call for an expendi- ,ure of Sl5O,000, meaning the develop ment of a tract of land upon one of the largest scales that has yet been under taken in this valley 10 increase culti- Vafcd area in this vicinity. It is ex- pectcd that this will develop cultivated iand to the extent of GOO acres, thereby rendering valuable ultimation to the national desire for the greatest possible cultivation in order that the increased food crops may be had.
 The large tract will be cut into tracts nf acres. with concrete pipes for ir- figation large concrete reservoir built un tho base of Comeback mountain from which water will be piped to each five scics. The roadways will be built and electric lights installed. one in front Of each 5-acre tract. Each five acre tract will be surrounded by shade trees, and a homesite, with lawn and roses set out. will be established on each fiVc-acre tract.
 Although eventually the 600 acres wlll be developed into lemon groves, in the meantime, while the young trees are being grown for orchards. the ground will be utilized between the trees for foodstuffs, such as potatoes beans. peanuts and other crops. This land being under the Camelback noun. tain, is the warmest soil in the valley Inc soil Is superb for garden and truck crops. Mir. krieg and associates have been largely instrumental in makinl Riverside beautiful and profitabl, citrus crop community. Mir.

SON'S LETTER TELLS
 IF TERRIBLE BATTLE

Vitally interesting is a letter re- gently received by Mrs. M J. Elder og 1104 East Moreland street from her son, Sergeant Robert W. Elder, Somewhere in France"
 Sergeant Elder was a member ot the state militia here in 1911. Four years later, while in Illinois, he joined the regular army. He was sent di- rectly from Illinois to Douglas, Ari- zona. After being transferred several times, he finally was posted at Camp Greene, New Jersey, remaining there until he was sent overseas. On May 21, he sailed on the 'Modiva," and was one of the survivors when the ship was torpedoed by the enemy.
 On July 31, Sergeant Elder experi enced his first big battle. In the con- fusion of the struggle, he, with four others of his company became separ- ated from the rest, and were lost for eight hours, and having no food for more than twenty -four.
 The second great battle in which he took part occurred on August 3 Such desperate fighting took place ir .his battle that there was no oppor- | tunity for Elder to cease hostilities l long enough to secure food and ht l had nothing to eat for three days. 4 severe attack by the enemy resulted il a number of casualties. among whicl l his lieutenant was numbered. Taking 1 immediate command of his company young Elder led the platoon lover tht top," coming out with fewer casual ties than many of the higher officers Three distinction bars, one of whicl now decorates his sleeve, rewarde him for his achievement.
 In this battle he experienced the ef fleets of the deadly mustard gas, thougl it was bat a touch and caused no per I'manent effects. A few sentences de scriDing the condition in which som
 of the prisoners captured by tn
 Americans, were found, speak wit eloquent clearness of the eXistant con ditions in the German army. At on time Elders company captured Ger

TWO METHODS ID
 HELP WIN WAR
Bankers and Business Men Told of Courses Now
 Deemed Necessary

Washington, August 1.-Two specific course by which banks and business men may help win the war-by eliminating leans for purposes not absolutely essen tial to the war or to maintaining the nation in healthy condition and by con- centrating goA and silver in federal re- serve banks-were reviewed today in a statement by the federal reserve board.
 Appealing for restriction of bank loans. the statement said:
 Banks should endeavor to divert the use of their credit more and more into productive fields where its employment will result in augmenting the national re- sources. An intelligent and prudent use of credit will be an important factor in strengthening the national resources during the period of the war. in aiding tainng the economic strength of the country for the time of rapidly changing conditions which will come when the war has been won and the millions of men in our armies are returning to the employment of peace"
 Referring to the need for concentrating geld and silver. the statement said:
 Money of every kind, whether gold or silver, should be deposited in bank and used, but not hoarded. Surrender of gold coin and gold certificates and ab- stentation from hoarding means an in crease in the volume of bank credit available for the community and in creased ability to finance it's war and other requirements"

At present Plant Juice, the new herbal stomach remedy. is one of the most talked-of preparations ever placed on tho market, for it will give instant, positive relief in almost all cases of stomach, liver and kidney trouble and rheumatism and if continued the results are per manent. It is natures own remedy composed of medicinal roots, herbs, barks and berries. and does not contain nin- erals, narcotics or habit-forming drugs
 Birmingham people call daily at the demonstration of Plant Juice and give voluntary testimonials as to the great benefit they have received from its use For instance, MT. Bartel Turk who re- sides at No 1921 Trilby avenue, Pratt City, and is we'll known machinist in the employ of large steel corpora ton, gave the following:
 For three years have been trou- bled with indigestion and dyspepsia; my food fermented in my stomach and caused much gas to form which pressed on my heart and I was in constant pain. had headaches and dizzy spells, could not sleep at night and felt weak and all played out. had hard lump in the pit of my stomach like lead; could not touch meat or vegetables. and had no. appetite whatever. I was trou- bled with asthma and at times could hardly get my breath. I had tried a number of different medicines, but never got anything to relieve me until I be- gan to take your Plant Juice I can truthfully say for publication that have taken three bottles of your Plant Juice and it has made me well man. have no more pains. sleep fine and can eat all kinds of food.

to have us put men in Congress ia
 whom he has faith.
 "As President he would never ha se
 taken part ill any congressional campalgn
 in times of peace. I am sure he would
 not have done so now, but for sincere
 belief in the necessity of such action.
 He is in the better position to judge
 whether or not Mir, Huddleston has gwen
 him the proper support on war measur es,
 and feel that his Judgment on this SUD-
 ject is binding.
 WOULD BE EQUALLY BINDING
 Even if l knew that MT. Wilson had been badly advised or had reached an erroneous conclusion, his matured wishes
 as to the kjnG of men we should send to Congress at this time would be equa lly binding on me, for feel that the political fortunes of any one man are but incidan- tai no~, even a possible injustice to one man now Is nothing when thousands are
 sacrificing their lives to the cause. The winning of the war is the paramount thing, of overmastering importance 10 every man, woman and child in the nn- ton, and the war cannot be successfully conducted if there be even seeming ui- vision in GUT councils. The Congress should Dc in sympathy with the Presi- dent and should support the administrn- tion on all legitimate war measures, and it should be composed of men on whom he feels that he can rely. If the Presi- dant has come to believe that any man in Congress is consistently opposed to the war measures of the administration, then the usefulness of that man to the cocn. t.y in this emergency Is lost
 When peace comes we can resume our ordinary lives and our normal habits of thought and action. We can afford to have our councils divided then, and to Itonsult OUT own tastes and desires Ill everything. We cannot safely do so nov. These considerations make 1t impos- s'ble for me to vote for MT. Huddleston In this election and feel that 1t is my duty to SO even further and vote in .,p- position to him ir. order to comply as far as possible with the evident desire of the Presidert t that Mr. Huddleston be de- feated So that while cannot truthfuliy cay ttat I am particularly enthusiastic ahout t,.e choice afforded me. shall vote for MT.

Draft Boards Told
 to Plan for Third
 Greater Registration

Montgomery, August 11.-(Special. )-Se- lective service draft boards were noti- fled Saturday by the state military de- registration in September than that of June, 1917, when the conscription bill be- ceme effective. This information is con tained in preliminary instructions mailed
 to the boar s the military department anticipatir : the early enactment of the
 new registration law by Congress. This estimate Is to be used as a basis for
 plans for the registration of men between IS and 45 years.
 This assumption is from a national
 standpoint and may not be applicable to an individual state or a local board
 within the state, but, as it is the best
 basis that can at this time be offered, it is suggested that each ad1utant gen.
 eral and each local board make care- f,i survey and estimate on such a basis of the probable number of persons to
 be registered within the Jurisdiction of
 the respective local boards" says the
 instructions from the provost marshal
 general at Washington to the state mill tary department.
 As was the case during the first and second registration, county and city at
 torneys are expect to cooperate with leSai aQVlSOFy DOdTuS. NdTSndlS, tnclr
 assistants and police officers are ex- pected to render all possible assistance In the execution of the law and news , agencies and newspapers will take an active part In the work Registration cards and other forms will be distributed from the office of the adjutant general to local boards. Re- spcnsiblitv for providing registration booths will rest with local boards. as- sisted by the mayors the governor, county clerks and other officials The instructions set out in detailed form all that is required of the registra- tion boards. As was the case in the other registrations, the sick win be regis- tered by persons deputized for such work. Felons will be registered by 1aiIers, their cards being sent to the local boards.
 Preparations for the anticipated reg istration is by far the most important work now confronting those connected with the administration of the draft, and the necessity for complete readiness at over emphasized says the instructions from Gen c. J. Hubbard of the miii- tary department
