Tanks to Win the War

That the war is to be won by the tank and not the airplane, is a foregone conclusion, ac- cording to a recent number of the Literary Digest.
 Men from every arm of the service are now turning to the tanks. Majors, Captains, and Lieutenants are giving up their commissions in other service to become privates in the tanks.
 Army officers declare that tanks will win this war as ar tillery won Napoleon's wars.
 The tank meets two great re- quirements of successful war fare. It destroys the enemy and conserves it's own sides manpower. The Germans have testified that if the British had had one thousand tanks when they first sprang them, the war would have ended there in a chaotic German defeat.
 The German lives in daily dread of tank surprise and Uncle Sam is doing all he can to satisfy this dread. To that end he has established two tank camps, one at Gettysburg, Pa.. which is a concentration and preliminary training camp and is in charge of Major D. D. Eis- enhower. The other is an ad- vanced training camp at Toby hanna, Pa., in charge of Col. Coopton.
 Major Eisenhower is neph- ew of MT. Luther Slower of Will Hams. He is a West Point grad uate of 1914, and has seen ac- tive service since his gradua- tion. MT. Stover is quite proud of this nephew as we'll as anoth- CT of the same family who is an Annapolis graduate and serv- i ing his country Somewhere" in the great world struggle.

CO. DEFENSE COUNCIL READY FOR BUSINESS
Flagstaff, Ariz., September IT, 1918 TO THE CITIZENS OF
 COCONINO COUNTY

COCONINO COUNTY
 The Coconino County Coun- cil of Defense, recently ap- pointed by the State Council of Defense, upon the recommen- dation of the Board of Super yisors, has completed it's organ ization and is ready for busi- ness.
 The purpose of this body is to promote in every way in it's power and to the utmost degree every activity within the Coun- ty which will in any wise tend toward winning the war. It should be, as it were, the clear ing house for County war mea- sures. It is a public body creat- ed to perform real public service. There is no reason for it's existence unless it works, i but to work efficiently it must have the cooperation of the people, and this support can come to it best through the suggestions and the steady in terest of the public.
 It is a body to be made use of, not to simply to organize and then pass into state of coma. Therefore, we ask the citizens of the County to make free use of this organization by offering tconstructive suggestions, bring ing to it's attention anything which may increase the effici- tency of this County in matters relating to the conduct of the war, and by carrying out with a willing spirit the suggestions the Council may find it neces- sary from time to time to make in the interests of real work. It is requested that communica- tions on any subject relating to the war work of this County be addressed to MT. Tom L. Rees, the Secretary of the County Council of Defense, who will in turn refer it to Chairman of a proper committee, which Chair man will deal with the matter directly with the person send ling the communication, as promptly as possible, or if he thinks best, will withhold reply until consultation can be hao with the full committee, ano the benefit of it's advice be had.
 Not only will the Counci : welcome suggestions, but it vii feel that unless these are made to it.'freely that it will have nc good reason for existence. Il is intended to be and wants te be body of real service anc the community can make i such if it will give cooperation We are for the use of the peo Iple, not for ornament. Use us Coconino County

SIJRCICAL DRESSINGS FOR
 SOLDIERS BRISKLY MADE

surgical dressings room on Bill Williams Avenue, the members of the Williams Chapter are briskly setting to the task ot furnishing an allotment of var ious dressings in the scheduled time. Lack of a Red Cross room has always been a handicap to this special work, tho the re- uuired dressings have always gone forth as asked for. One need only to look at the increas- ed number of workers busy at the ten tables to realize how much more work can be hand | led in this new, cheerful at- mosphere, where the pleasure induced by being in their own work room, is shown in every movement of needle, or snip of scissors. Lockers, trunks and various conveniences are on all sides. Painting ''bees" have renewed the life in tables and chairs, and everything now pre- sents an appearance of business like intentions.
 The local chairmen are plan ming for the coming drive for clothing for the Belgiums. At the request of Herbert Hoover, Chairman for the Commission for Relief in Belgium, the nat ional.Red Cross will conduct a
 drive during the week of Sep tember 23-3O, to collect an ad-
 ditional 500 tons of used cloth, ing for the Belgians. The local
 drive will commence on this date next Tuesday, and will
 continue until large box IS
 filled. A number of mems
 suits have been contributed al-
 ready. I The Pacific Division is asked
 to contribute $50 tons. Williams < will receive it's allotment With
 in the next few days.
 Hoover's plea to Henry F: Davidson, Chairman of the Red Cross War Council follows:- "The ten million imprisoned people in occupied Belgium and : France are facing shame, sui fering, disease, and some even death, for lack of clothing this : winter. They must be helped. I hope that the Red Cross will undertake a renewed campaign : to obtain this clothing in Amer ica. It can come only from us Your first campaign yielded magnificent results, full 5000 tons of clothing in good condi l ton. But much more is needed if these war-ravaged people ) are to get thru the winter il decency and safety. In the face
 of brutal coercion and spiritua
 suffering they remain splendid 8 ly courageous. This courage
 challenges our charity. Let LII . match the courage of Belgium s by the generosity of America n Every kind of garment, for al : ages and both sexes, is urgentl.
 requested.
 Since these clothes will b.
 subjected to the hardest wear S only garments made of stron, S and durable materials shoult s be sent. They need not be il '- perfect condition. A hundre'
 thousand destitute women il
 the occupied regions in Belgiur l, are earning a small livelihoo' :, by repairing gift clothing an
 making new garments adapte = to needs with which they ar 1t familiar.

NO WATER SHORTAGE THREATENS WILLIAMS

1IIllIn IUO uIIEtitsSsO Leader" Lie Nailed by the
 Presentation of Facts
 In scurilous attack upon the Town of Williams in the issue of the Northern Arizona Lead CT dated September 19, several false statements are made that no loyal citizen of Williams can allow to pass uncalled. In this article it is stated that Williams is menaced by a water famine; that the people voted "$90,0Qo- in bonds for water and lights, which sum is in the bank and the taxpayers paying interest on it'; that "every known de vice is being brought into use by men, women and children to- carry water from the town wells";- and that in the event that the wells go dry "the peo- pie will be forced to ship in water in cars''.
 The News has no defense to make of the Williams Water and electric Company.
 But we do have a defense to make of the Town of Will jams. Williams is not threaten ed by a water famine. The special correspondent to the leader in circulating that report while attempting to give vent to a personal grievance, has maligned the town instead. The reservoir from which the town receives its supply of water, now contains a larger supply of water than has previously been recorded in the reservoir at this season of the year. There is an abundance of water for fire purposes, and there is no fire menace, as the false report would have made it appear.
 The statement that the S90,- OOO.OO voted by the people lies idle in the bank with the people paying interest upon it.. is false. A portion of the amount has been expended for an electric light plant and we are receiving service from that plant. The part that remains in the bank Is drawing five per cent interest.
 The statement that people are using every known device for conveying water from the we'll is a harmless lie but a typ ical example of the disregard which the correspondent of the Leader has for the facts. Some people are carrying part of their drinking water while us- ing city water for other purpos- eS.
 No necessity can arise for : shipping in water during the next eight months, as there is an abundance in the reservoir to last that length of time. By the end of that time, snow and rain should refill the reservoir. Before another winter passes the federal court will have reached a disposition of the af- fairs of the Williams Water & : Electric Company, which will enable the Town to take steps to secure a better water sys- tenn. -,1{
 : The townspeople of Williams resent the malicious attack up on the town, made by the spec sial correspondent to the Leader. II
