Twenty Thousand Prisoners.

Twenty Thousand Prisoners
[By William Philip Simms, United
Press Staff Correspondent
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Aug. 9.-G2:30 p MI :
British cavalry detachments are re-
ported approaching Chaulnes-
Prisoners taken in the drive to date
exceed 10000, according to the esti-
mates. The cavalry today took a
number of additional villages from
the Germans.
The losses to the armies Of Won
der Marwitz and Won Hutier in NUM-
lions and other supplies alone consti-
tute a heavy blow to the Germans.
Ten different enemy divisions were
identified in yesterdays fighting. "a
German division usually numbers 12;-
600 men.) Other divisions have been
thrown into the battle since last
night.
The whole area included in the
great bend Of the Somme Is nasty
tangle of German transports, artillery
and troops, all struggling along the
same roads. These masses OF men
and material are being attacked by
low flying airplanes, which maintain
a constant machine gun fire, accom-
panied by bombs, day and night.
In the region of Morlancourt the
British were unable to maintain their
positions. The Chipilly spur, around
the foot of which flows the Somme,
is the scene of very heavy fighting
The Wurtemburgers there were or
dered to hold despite any losses.
Further south French and British
cavalry seem to be everywhere at
once. cutting retreating columns to
pieces and rounding up prisoners.
Armored cars are dashing UP and
down the roads adding to the enemy's
dismay, while tanks and whippets,
maneuvering across the fields and CO
operating with the cavalry far in adj
vance Of the infantry are continuing
their deadly trundle.
: Many bridges have been destroyed,
including those at Peronne and Brie.
French cavalry, tanks and infantry
are fighting brilliantly on the British
right.

LAND IF PROMISE

Predicting that vast opportunities will be open for Americans of enter prise and judgment in Sonora within the next few years, Allen Bird of the Daily Morning Oasis, Nogales. has written 10 the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce telling of a publicity plan it is fostering and asking co-opera- tion. The letter follows:

 We have this day placed your or Sanization upon our mailing list for one year. the subscription being paid for under an arrangement with the au- thorities of the state of Sonora. Mexico. | This is a part of the program for the development of the agricultural min eral and commercial resources of that state, which is being actively support cd by the authorities of the federal government at the City of Mexico.
 The state of Sonora is one of the ricest states of the Mexican republic
 in natural resources, and American capital and American enterprise will be potent agencies for the development of those resources. It is in accord with the desire of the Mexican au- thorities to acquaint America with the wealth and possibilities of their coun- try that the officials of Sonora decided to send The Oasis to 200 of the repre- sentative commercial bodies in the ci- ties of the United States.

Make the Profiteers Pay

While the congressional committees during the series of recesses devisng revenue bill they will receive much advice, and all of it will not be dsinerested There bit of advice though, that will have strong universal popular backing and that is that the bulk of the next taxes should be drawn from the profteers who have already collected from the people. -.-lt
 This is not the best system of taxation in the world the mulcting. of those who have robbed the people. but in the circumstances it is moral duty of the government to collect it this way it it possible possible robbers to punder the people.
 It stated in behalf of the government when went into the that ought to make dollar out of the High minded patriots per haps did not think that any man would try to make the war means of increasing his wealth. The gov ernment probably thought too that all men would be thoroughly loyal that they would not think of mab- ing money.

 All the great industries and many of the smaller ones which had been bleeding the people applied the bleeding process a comprehensive scale than They took advantage of the heplessness of the people the careiessness the government and fortunes have been amassed that make those which grafers built up during the civil war, paltry.

REVIEWING THE WAR

The carnage on the foreign fields, Must be fearful to behold; Of the atrocities of the Germans, The half has ne'er been told. Liberty, honor and justice, Are trampled in the dust; Treaties have no meaning, Because of fiendish lust. The deeds of the Dark ages. Pale beside the master hand: For the Chained Beast of darkness, Was loosed in a foreign land. Hear the voice of Patrick Henry, In that Continental hall Coming to us through the ages, To avert a nations fall. Let's adopt brave Frances motto, As the Teutons tried at last, To level the Nerdun defenses, Their oath: They shall not pass" The Japs have a beautiful legend. The meaning of which is like this; That soldiers slain in battle. Their soul enters Heaven and bliss. Who shall say the blood of battle, Is not consecrated on high; Like the present war of justice, Then unearthly help is nigh. On they charge in massed formation, Buoyed up by their vaunted boasts, While the machine guns of the allies, Reap rich harvests with their hosts. True, we have slackers and traitors, But we had them in times of old: l There was Judas and Benedict Arnold And many more of the same mold. Yes, we'll defeat the willy Teutons. With their dreams of World domain; Defeat them with their vassals, 1 In a glorious Nations name. | Fen now the thrones are trembling, Founded as they are on sand, | The floods of the Great Western ma
 tion, l Will sweep them forever from land | Long before the war is ended, And long before the dawn of peace: | They'll learn the American soldiers, When the history of the Nations, Is written with inspired hands; The brave deeds of U. s. soldiers, Will be emblaZoned in all lands.

Alcohol and the War

We hope it will be found that the information contained in Washington dispatch yesterday morn ing that the president lis inclined to oppose any action (prohibon) materially reducing the internal revenues" is inaccurate and untrue. All men will agree that everything should be subservient to the war. If prohibition stands in the way of war pro hbition should wait. We to sacrifice everything for the war, money, luxures, comforts, our necessities our ideals and lives if necessary.
 We think somebody has ascrbed to the president a view that he does not entertain-that the blood money derived from of intoxicating liquor is necessary or will be helpful in winning the If that so every move that has been made toward temperance has been move in the wrong direction. If that the old notion that drunkenness promotes waste and inefficiency is wrong. If need this money to carry the need it in time of peace as well, and the whole scheme of prohibition is economic mistake.
 The great need of the country at this time when our outlay ssOoO0oOOOoo annually is the creation of new wealth. If were forced to fight the with only wealth have already accumulated it would be a very short war. We would be at the end of the rope in very brief time. There would soon be nothing tax and at all Conservation would soon be useless there would be nothing to
 The liquor traffic is of the industries, and the most conspicuous of all such industries, which pro- duce wealth. It is destroyer of wealth. It converts food which much need into product of less than value at all It absorbs the money of millions which might otherwise be spent usefully and reduces the power of these millions produce wealth. The worst of all arguments in favor of the liquor traffic is the argument that need the from it. far better sounder argu- mcnt against prohibition is the claim of the inherent right of every individual to get drunk.
 If we need money so badly this and need is urgent as this that by the process of destroying wealth and lessenng the to in the national wealth, let farther, let go the whole hog We greatly and quickly in internal revenue and more quickly destroy our national wealth in a multitude of ways. We could derive huge by a national system of licensing gambling. A national prostitution license would pro- duce hideously large revenue. The pickpockets of the country would down handsomely for the pro- lection legitmatzaon of their profession All these things would very materially increase revenues until all the wealth in the country had been gathered
 in and all the means of producing wealth had been destroyed. The advantage of such a comprehensive internal system have outlined is that it would bring the end more quickly.

How to make the future generations of Arizonians better than the present one, to correct condition more terrible in its way than that which is confront ed on the battlefieds of Europe was the theme of an address delivered Friday at the residence of Mrs. Hale on Chi cago avenue before the BalsZ Parent Teachers association by Dr. Earl Nj. Tar who has been conducting child welfare campaign in this state.
 The war has revealed many condi- tions more or less significant" said Dr. Tarr We know now that one third of all men rejected from the first draft were physically unfit because of some defeSt directly related to neglect or inn proper care during their childhood.
 Tt was learned recently that the death rate among children. from pre- ventable diseases, has, in spite of the war. been reduced quite materially in the past year. This is due to the fact that parents are beginning to realize how much easier it is to prevent than to cure disease.
 Unfortunately. there are many par ents who feel that they know more about how to care for children than do those persons who limit their work
 
 to convince young mother that simply because she is physically able to have baby does not necessarily mean that she knows anything about how to give it proper care.
 When we stop to think of the army of babies who die each year in the | United States-300, 000-we must admit | that now, more than ever before. is the time to carry on a nation wide campaign to save the babies With the war taking it's toll of our young men it is absolutely necessary for us to bring to bear every influence that can l help to save a child life. The Children s 1 Bureau is campaigning to save 100000 babies during the present year Each | state has a definite quota of lives to save, and Arizona has been asked to save 233 babies before April l. 1919 The drive has been no less than four months. and the records show that we ready have saved more than that number of infant lives. All credit be- longs to the little mothers of Arizona who have at last awakened to the fact that 1t is just IS necessary to go tC school and learn how to raise babies as it is necessary to go to school to learr how to raise better COWS and horses
 The remarkable record made by Arizona in child welfare work has beer made possible because of the untirine efforts of the Woman's Committee O the Council of Defense To Mrs. J. c Norton, local chairman of the chil, welfare section, we owe much Sh has spared neither time nor money |, further the work assigned to her.
