 Every boat that whistles raises our hopes, but of course, half are going out without us, and the other half are going up stream.
 We are only about hundred yards or so from the Gironde River about 25 miles from the mouth and about l5 miles toward the ocean or Bay of Bis cay from Bordeaux. As this is the first time I was ever near the mouth of a large river the tide interests me. It is quite high here, about Is feet, and the river is about five miles across. They say that in about two weeks from now the tide is at its high est, and hope it isn't as high as in- dications point. In the building where we sleep there are steel posts ana about two feet up on them it says "high tide" Now, if that isn't mis- leading I will find myself lying m water some time at high tide. To make it worse, I am sleeping in the lawer bunk of double-decker and am about foot and half off the floor. But then, it would be an easy way ot taking a bath.
 It will be just two weeks tomorrow that I wrote you but have been ex- pecting some mail, and of course, was disappointed. The old record still stands-just one letter since Christ mas day have I received from you. and that is two and half months ago. ,,

RED CROSS WORKERS
 PRAISED FOR WORK

The ladies of the local chapter of the Red Cross have received recogni- tion of their good work in many forms all deserved. The latest is an of ficial letter from Marshal Hale, head of the Pacific Division of the Ameri- can Red Cross, in which he speaks in glowing terms of the work accom- plished. M. l. Powers, head of the local chapter, received the letter on Monday. 1t follows in full,
 Chairman and Board of Directors,
 Coconino County Chapter,
 American Red Cross,
 Flagstaff, Arizona.
 Kind and Patriotic Friends,
 l wish to express to you my person. al appreciation for the splendid work which you carried on during the time that was the manager of the Pacific Division of the American Red Cross.
 1 wish you could have been with me in the summer and fall of 1918, when visited some of the warehouses in France, at Paris, Bordeaux, St. Ma Zarre and other places in France, and saw the immense quantities of surgical dressings, hospital garments, and sol diers' supplies which were made by the good women of this country; and in all of these warehouses 1 saw a good ly proportion of supplies shipped from the Pacific Division. Then it was that I fully realized the splendid work which wou did in procuring these things, and that they were really there and ready to be sent for ward to relieve the suffering in Europe. You have heard of the splen. did results of the accomplishments of the Red Cross in Europe, but it was your work here at home that made that good work possible.
 I had the honor of having charge of the outh-Intermediate Zone in France, with headquarters at Lyon, and have not been connected with the Red Cross since last November, but want to thank you for the good work you did while I was in charge of the Pacific Division.
 There is still much Red Cross work to do and I trust that it will continue in the same patriotic spirit.
 With appreciation of the excellent record your chapter made, am,
 Sincerely yours,
 MARSHAL HALE.

CHARGED WITH HORSE THEFT.

Two Spaniards, Valentino Ajo and Steven Poyo, are in the county jail charged with horse stealing. The men were arrested by Town Marshal Neill last week.
 The particular charge against them has to do with a horse in their pos session which has been proven to be the property of Jos Lay, of Cornville. The two men had told several con- flicting stories about how the animal came to be in their possession, and are not able to give any clear and convinc- ing proof of ownership. Authorities here were notified several days ago to be on the lookout for the animal.
 Lodging definite complaint against them was delayed until Ed Hamilton got here last Friday from Williams.

PEOPLE, NOT
 ARMY, NOW
 HOLD STAGE
By United States Senator George E. Chamberlain, Chairman Military
 AffaIrs Committee of Senate.

we are rounding out one of the greatest, If not the greatest single drama in the worlds history. The most tragic scene Is over and another is being acted, and in this scene 1t Is the mass of the American people that hold the center of the stage rather than the American armies. The lat, ter have practically completed their work and they played their part with superb excellence It Is our part now to finish their work.
 We have got to finish financing the war and to finance the peace. We have got to pay for those things we bought or contracted for, to take the best possible care of our soldier boys and to make them the superb fighting force that they were. We have got to care for the wounded and their dependents and the dependents of those who died in their country's service. We have got to rehabilitate our wounded and train them for use full occupations which they can pur- sue in spite of loss of limbs or sight or other such injuries.
 Must Finish Task.
 We have got to stand by the peo- ples of those nations who were asso- ciated with us in the war against Germany and who have been under the cruel hand of German domination. We have got to finish in all ways the great and the very glorious task that America set out to accomplish in April, 1917, and which so far has been accomplished with success that every true American rejoices at and is proud of.
 This is a task that no good Ameri. can-man, woman or child-will shirk or will wish to shirk. And every. one of them, man, woman and child, can help. Through the Liberty Loan and War Savings Stamps the United States offers each and all an opportu- nifty to contribute to its great work of establishing world justice, world liberty and world enduring peace Some of us may not be able to buy of the Liberty Loan but practically every. one of us can buy War Savings Stamps and the purchase of every War Savings Stamp aids in the great work. It is a great honor to have part in this great world drama that is being played and every purchaser of a United States Government war security has a part in it. Never was so great an honor so cheaply to be bought. never so great a service so easily rendered"

Too Wise.

William J. Burns, the noted detec- tive, said in a Scranton lecture:
 "To a well trained detective every incident is pregnant with significance. Yes, every incident is as full of mean ing as--well, l am reminded of a story. ..
 "A young man sat in a parlor alone To him a beautiful girl en- tered. Thereupon the young man arose, took six cigars from his upper waistcoat pocket, laid them carefully on the piano, and then advanced to- ward the girl, passionately, his arms outstretched.
 "But the girl drew back.
 "'You have loved before, she said"

THE SUPREME TEST

Regardless of what territories may be lost or won by the belligerents in the world war. Germany, above all the nations. has gained most, and next to Germany the United States has bene' fitted to a greater measure than any of the other powers involved. Ger many has thrown of the yoke of me disval kaiserism. The United States is a nation.
 The Liberty Loans were one of the greatest nationalizing factors. The Fourth Loan welded 20,000.000 bond buyers into investing patriots-the kind of patriots who are willing to sacrifice for their country.
 The Victory Liberty Loan-the last of the Liberty Loans-comes in April It will be for billions of dollars to fin ish paying for the job of freeing the world. But it will be something great CT than that. It is going to be the supreme test of that standardization which has sprung out (. the loins of war.
 There are carpers who say that the patriotism has cooled; that the loan cant be put over" on patriotic grounds. Those carpers are dollar Americans. To them Carter Glass, our new Secretary of the Treasury, said in New York, We are going to invoke the patriotism of the American people, and I am going to do 1t confidently. and there is going to be such a re. sponse as was never witnessed before in America"

Union leaders in Phoenix stated to- day that the ballots in the proposed recall of George D.

Some Democrats Object
To Treaty C|Oture Rule

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-Success for
the movement to shut down the peace
treaty debate by a cloture seemed likely
tonight to remain in doubt until the
clerks call the roll on the question to-
morrow in the senate.
Thirty Republicans signed the petition
for cloture, and party leaders declared
that more would vote for 1t. There was
no doubt, leaders asserted. that the Re-
publican side OF the chamber would con-
tribute more than its share Of the two
thirds majority necessary to invoke the
cloture rule.
Among the Democrats, however. there
was more uncertainty, growing out OF
a question Of policy involving the whole
administration program Of parliament
airy action on the treaty. Democratic
Leader Hitchcock was understood to in
cline away from the cloture proposal,
and although some Democrats said they
would not follow him. a greater number
reserved their decision.
Vice President Marshall Is expected to
be in the chair when the question auto
matically comes to vote an hour after
the senate meets tomorrow and It was
considered possible that he might re.
move Democratic objections by so con-
STRUNG the cloture rule that it will not
upset the administration plans.
With the senate in recess today, there
was much discussion as to the exact
meaning and effect OF the rule, which
never has been invoked since II was
adopted more than two years ago. The
only apparent result Of the conferences,
however, was to emphasize the differ
ence Of opinion among the members.
