BAND TOUR GREAT
 SUCCESS, OVAT|ONS
 RENDERED MEMBERS

Declaring that the 15Sth infantry band which toured the state in the interest of the thrift movement had served as a great incentive to the campaign, Charles De Sales Wheeler, who acted as band manager. expressed himself as more than satisfied with the result of the tour
 Justice Wheeler returned yester- day after giving up his vacation period to carry on the patriotic work Band concerts in every city of any size in Arizona and in mining camps advanced the sale until it is believed many counties will go over the top in it's quota, said Wheeler last even ing. He stated that the public not only responded to the investment for themselves, but gave liberally to the boys in the band with the result that he has approximately s2,O00 to in vest in baby bonds for the soldiers In addition to making the government Investment, the audiences everywhere very willingly signed the pledge cards was the encouraging report of the band manager.
 The welcome everywhere was most cordial,' said Judge Wheeler. From when they arrived in Phoenix until they reached Camp Kearny at the conclusion of nearly a months tour there was not one unpleasant incl dent. The thrift committees in every stopping place were glad to coop crate with the band, which certainly added an impetus to the movement in this state. Everywhere we heard the same story of the band attracting the largest audiences that had ever been called for any event. The music by "our own band" seemed to inspire and when a patriotic number was played there was always an ovation
 Judge Wheeler is confident that Cochise and other counties will over subscribe their quota. He said the collections in Bisbee which will make bond holders of the soldiers, amounted to s220.95. Clarkdale and Jerome gave S296 and $221 respectively for the | investment for the band players and in gifts the boys received S350 from the Ray Consolidated Copper com pany and the same amount from 1 the United Verde Copper company The band realized $1,000 from the sale of a war song When You Come Back My Soldier Boy," composed by Karl Goetzsie, member of the band from Yavapai county.
 At each concert Wheeler made z brief talk in favor of buying govern ment stamps. He accompanied tho boys on all the trips and the affection with which they held him was dem. onstrated when at a dinner at th' Warren Country club the other even ing, they presented him with a hand some Elks card case of gold inscribed as follows:
 ''To Charles D. Wheeler, 335. Phoe nix Arizona. Remember the tou Judge. From the boys of the 15Stl Infantry Band on tour from May ? to June 2, 191S.'

RED CROSS CARING
 FUR AMERICANS IN
 HUN PRISON CAMPS

Of the 27 prison camps in Austria Hungary and Germany in which Americans now are held, Tuchel. near Danzig, is to be the chief prison camp for captured Americans in uniform, according to advices reaching the bu- reau of prisoners relief of the Amer ican Red Cross. In each of the camps and in one small camp not yet located, there are either captured soldiers or American seamen taken from subma- rined merchantmen. The Red Cross had direct reports from 231 men in these camps at the beginning of June and to each is sending, through its prisoners relief warehouses at Berne, 20 pounds of food a week and is sup plying clothing, comforts, tobacco, and in fact. everything the men need.
 In supplying captured soldiers and sailors, the Red Cross acts as trans hitting agency for the army or the navy which furnishes these supplies. In addition to the prisoners actually on it's records, the Red Cross believes that there are some 200 aditional American prisoners in Germany who
 have not yet reached the prison camps where they are to be located perma-
 nently. The Red Cross, however, has already prepared to care for these as soon as reported, and in fact, has stored in Berne, or in transit, supplies enough to maintain 22,000 prisoners, if necessary for six months.
 | Awaiting American prisoners sent to
 Tuchel is a stock of Red Cross pack ages of food and clothing in charge of | three of our captured boys who are ap- pointed Red Cross relief committee for
 that prison camp. Similar reserve 1 stocks will be placed in other prisons
 as it becomes evident that they are to
 be used for centers for imprisoned
 Americans, who thus will be fed and | clothed immediately.

DECIDES RUKAV|NA
 |S MENTALLY UNFIT.

Demanding that further testimony be introduced before he would adjudge John Rukavina incompetent, Judge Ly- man was satisfied yesterday beyond doubt that Rukavina was not mentally fit to care for his affairs. The first hearing was early in the week, and on the scanty testimony offered the court refused to make an order. At the later hearing physicians and men who have had daily intercourse with Rukavina appeared as witnesses for Paul Rukavina, who petitioned the court to appoint him his brothers guardian. It was shown that Ruka-. vina lacked mental balance.

MILK FUR BABIES DRUNK IN PHOENIX
Give milk to the babies.

Give milk to the babies.
 The cry that comes from over the sea is being echoed at home and the answer has come.
 Every day for the past few weeks a group of little folk wait in line at the Associated Charities or the health giving liquid that is sent to town from a family wishing to do its bit.
 Here for their own health, these people have been able to procure es- pecially pure milk, which they are sharing daily with those who are most in need. Every day it is brought to the Associated Charities headquarters from the Warren ranch by the visiting nurse. Miss Gilchrist, superintendent of the charities, has arranged a schedule giving it to the small folk in regular order.
 Sometimes those who are in i'll health are the beneficiaries or a family Tn distress is aided by the contribution. The health seekers on the Warren ranch never fail to send at least one gallon and always more if they have | it to spare.
