RED CROSS r. NEWS NOTES
This Department Will Appear Every Wednesday

With the signing of the armistice at
Sonlis by Marshal Foch and the Ger
man commissioners, the world war
came to an cnd-the world had poem
made safe for democracy. All that
then remained, SO far as the United
States was concerned at least, was to
await the outcome Of the peace con-
gress which was to settle upon Wnat
Germany had lost and what the
United States and the allies had
gained, and then the troops of the
great republic, which had been a deci-
sive factor in the conflict, were to De
at once withdrawn from Europe, and
Americas part in the great war was
to be at an end The problems ar1s-
ing out of the changed conditions IN
Europe were puzzling and 6eplorable,
to be sure; but the European nations
were the ones affected-not the
United States. Our gallant troops had
fought nobly, the nation behind them
had turned from the arts of peace to
tie business of manufacturing war
munitions, we had emptied our peck
cts of surplus change to buy Liberty
bonds, to finance the Red Cross and
other war organizations; we had de-
prived ourselves of our usual quantity
of sugar (Which was about all the
privation that most of us enduredD,
and otherwise observed the injunc-
lions of the food administration, and
altogether we felt certain degree OF
pride in our accomplishments as ma
ton. But now that the war was over
We must return to the business OF
peace-to tho art OF making money
on a pre-war scale, and Europe and
the Old World generally must now
look out for itself.
Some such reasoning as the above
seems to have permeated the minds
ard understanding of the American
people, including Alaska and Cordova,
and a general feeling seems to be
gaining ground that our duties and
responsibilities growing out of the
war are at an end Everywhere there
is general slowing up in Red Cross
activities, and there is a general dis
position concerning future work to
t"let George do it." Attendance at
Red Cross headquarters everywhere
has fallen OF, and thsie Is q sudden
lack Of interest in its work which Is
deplorable to say the least
The great work which the Red
Cross inaugurated in connection with
the war is only half completed. It is
true that with the cessation of fight
ing our ministrations to our sick and
wounded soldiers are not so much in
demand. But nevertheless there is
work in abundance to be done, and
it must be done speedily. Our sol
diers-more than million of them
are still in Europe, and hundreds OF
thousands of them still are stationed
at various environments in the United
States. Until the army is demobil-
lied there is greet need for the work
of the Red Cross among our gallant

Millions OF persons have been driven

An Unfortunate Impression
The impression seems to have
been gained by some Cordova people
that there is no longer need for the
labor Of the local ladies in connection
with Red Cross work-that the war
being over, it is not to be expected
that they will continue to devote
their time to the activities which were
cheerfully participated in during the
war. This is most deplorable, espe-
c-ally when this idea is being promul-
gated by persons who claim to be
well informed as to what is happening
in the world. Readers of the news
papers and Of the Red Cross litera-
ture can not fail to understand how
necessary it is that the work be kept

up to its former state Of efficiency,
and that the excellent record made
by our people during the war should
be kept up during the reconstruction
days. Because there is no longer dan
ger to the United States, and there
fore no longer need for humanitarian
work, is narrow view which It is
hoped and believed will not become

ain Flanders Fields"
Mrs. James Gilmour of Latouche
writes as follows:
"In the Red Cross department OF
your January issue I read the three
poems, In Flanders Fields am in
closing the fourth one to complete the
whole. Can you find space for it in
the same department."
The poem inclosed is not unworthy
place beside the poems mentioned,
and is as follows:

CThe final nswer, by Mrs. J. Gilmour)
In Flanders Fields they who lie low
So silent in each hallowed row
Beneath those mounds where peoples
blow
Have paid in vain the bitter price,
In vain the final sacrifice,
In vain each cross, mute symbols
dear,
II they point not the pathway clear
From Calvary
To Flanders Fields.
But not in vain will they lie low
II we can see their faith aglow
Above each cross, the way to show
10 one true, righteous brotherhood
The glory of one Fatherhood,
All! then no mortal tongue could tell
How near to Christ were they who fell
For Liberty

CHIEF OF ALLEGED GANG IF CROOKS |S
 HELD OV COMPLAINT

That gang of crooks have been operating in the city and have con- stantly been on the lookout for re- cruits, was the statement made yester- day by Mrs. Jane Scudder, who caused the arrest of Chester Lee, whom she alleges is the chief.
 Mrs. Scudder waited two weeks after she had been robbed by Lee before she had the nerve" to swear to a com- plaint against him, she said.
 If you sayia word you'll get yours" she declared was what Lee told her when he took $50 out of her hand and walked away.
 The woman conducts a small lunch stand on South First street just a stones throw from police headQuar- ters, yet Lee had her so paralyZed with fright that she was afraid to tell on him." She said that on a previous occasion Lee had made her a proposi- ton to join his gang.
 T was robbed two weeks ago." said Mrs. Scudder as she leaned over the fire where she was preparing a hot dog"
 T had just come in here from the bank and had a roll of bills in my hand, which I intended to send to my mother, who has depended on me since my brother and husband joined the colors. Lee came in and said, What have you in your hand?' I told him I had a little change and he said let's see, and made away with it. He told me not to dare say anything and ] was so afraid of him and his gang that kept still.'
 Later, Mrs. Scudder swore to a con- l plaint charging Lee with robbery, and | he was arrested in Tucson and re- | turned to Phoenix He was arraigned before Justice De Souza yesterday and 1 will be given his preliminary hearing at ? o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
 According to Lees attorney, E. B i Goodwin. the defendant will admit that he had $50 but that Mrs. Scudder made the loan.
 The sheriff's office stated yesterday that the arrest of Lee resulted in tht l return of Glenn Walton, runaway whose absence has been a source O.
 worry to his widowed mother. Tn, tboy arrived from Tucson, coming vol
 nntarily after the arrest of Lee.

 A letter has been received by the parents of Newell Brimhall, from Nickinich, Germany, where he was at that time stationed. Following is the complete text of the letter.
 My Dear Parents: Have been won dering all day why that telegram was sent if you have heard from me since you sent it. I am feeling fine and spending a very good Christmas. All we can eat, and that's the biggest part of soldiers good time. Am getting so fat and lazy, you know how Fred used to be, well that's me.

In fact I've only been writing to three. But we are in winter quarters now in l warm houses so will use my pen a lit- | tie more.
 When you read about the Marne drive and the hard struggle on the Verdun front, and the taking of so many prisoners in St. Mihiel front, you l didn't realize your sonnie was in the middle of it. did you? Well he was. He made his start on the Marne and almost made his finish on the Verdun.
 Do you remember the letter I wrote you about the airplane fight? Well that was written under shell fire. Just before we went up to the front line on the Verdun. You read about Mt Falcon, well I wrote that letter there just 36 hours after it was taken. The next morning after I wrote it we went into a hell no one will ever forget who was there. But I had a round trip ticket and it wasn't even punched.
 We are in land now little more like the U. s. in Dutchland That's where I am spending Christmas. The snow outside is about a foot deep and it is still showing. We had meat, gravy, bread, butter, doughnuts and beer for dinner. It was very good feed, too.

RAIN BRINGS JOY
 ID MESA FARMERS

MESA, Feb 2-The rainy weather of the past two days has brought smiles Of contentment to farmers and stock smen alike. While the total precipita ton has not been very heavy, yet showers, some of them quite brisk, have fallen over the irrigated portions of the district, making blowing easy without the aid of irrigation, and the sheepmen and cattlemen of the desert are looking forward now with certainty to the rapid growth of the Indian wheat, the progress of which has re- mained at a standstill for some time. The rain is disagreeable and the mud might be easily dispensed with, but the resulting good overbalances all inconveniences.
