In it's broadest conception, Comrades in Service aims to encourage the con serYation of Nthe training and experi- ence of all the men who have worn America's uniform during the great war to the end that they may continue to 5e available as q real national asset and to assist in preserving the princi pies of idealism, truth and justice for which these men took up arms. In their zoreword to a hand book for the organization just issued by general headquarters of the A. E. F, this thought is emphasized
 We have been called to the colors," it reads, for united service, which we have rendered in a moment of peril. We plan to carry into peace the spirit of fellow ship and service to the com monwealth which won the war. In it's organic life, Comrades in Service aims to be nOn-pOlitical aId non -sectariaa. We shall use our association in the
 A. l.. F., as means of steadying morale. and preparing for the soldiers return to civilian life and service. \ i while ago we aimed to be fit to fight | Now we aim to be fit for the future and to put our best into the last laI ] before We go home

derived from concerted action among the men who were soon to leave the army.
 Officers for headquarters were pro vided by the army and 8 staff was organized composed of officers ana men from the army and secretaries from the welfare organizations. Pub licity was given through the American papers published in France and by a bi-weekly publication issued by the central council. Teams of speakers were sent to the base sections and eIn- barkation ports to project the ideals Of comradeship among the men who were awaiting transportation home. Other teams of organizers have gone into the $. o. $. centers and to bodies Of troops in the First and Second armies, which were expected to remain for some time in France. Among these units, clubs have been formed and these are pro- viding popular medium of expression for the members.
 And illustration of the practical working of these clubs is found in the case Of the 79th field artillery This outfit was q regular army regiment, which had come over from the Philip pines put dI IlftQ lOO idtS u SCt tp 9tlte front It included men from every state and 20 different nations and 24S different trades and occupations in civil life were represented. Its six batteries and three companies each organized a club of which every man was a member. President, vice presi- dent and secretary were elected by each club. A typical result was the selection of a private for president, 6 sergeant for vice president and cor poral for secretary. It was arranged to hold club meetings in the barracks of each club, and to stimulate interest a series of competitive meets was planned. As the rains prevent outdoor field meets, an indoor contest was evolved in which points were allowed for such events as debates, impromp- tu speaking. quartet. reading. dancing number. instrumental solo, bugle calls. and an original stunt"
 These contests proved tremendously interesting and the spirit of the men

followed. A keen but good natured rivalry resulted. Men forgot their grouches and found something to discuss except the mud and the delay in getting home.
 A popular department of inc Com rades in Service program has been the forum. through which the men are en- outraged to discuss the big problems which America is facing and which they must help solve on their return to civil life. Outlines of some of these subjects with reference showing where data can be obtained are published in each issue of the Comrades in Service paper.
 In addition to the official support of the heads of the various army depart ments and welfare organizations. this movement has been accorded express sions of approval by many eminent Americans. President Wilson. follow ing the Palais de Glace meeting. wrote to Bishop Brent saying: T enjoyed the meeting very much indeed and proihed by the speeches. Everybody was very generous in their reference to me and I hope sincerely that the audi ence got as I did the real spirit and the large purpose Of the movement

 Everything was in readiness TOT starting the work with a rush the da> the drive opened-that is. everything was ready except the persons who we.s to buy boals ], seems.

 IT was not until the final week of the drive that the public apparently realized it's neglect, or al least its slow ness. Then bond subscriptions literally poured into the banks. The public had heen awakened and aroused. The peo- ple were willing to pay for victory. There was everything to gain and nothing 10 lose by purchasing Victory bonds.

There was too much to be done in the great world war to keep Harold Kortzer on the "sidelines'' until he should reach draft age, so he enlisted in the navy in November, 1917, when only r years old. He is one of the gold star honor roll boys of which the nation is proud.
 Krotzer secured his early training at San Diego. but soon after entering the service he was stricken with spinal meningitis. His wonderful constitution pulled him through this serious illness and he returned to Phoenix on a 60- day furlough to regain his strength.
 He reported for duty at the end of his furlough and was assigned to the |. s. S Kentucky, where he performed invaluable services on convoy duty until his death January 2. 1913, of pneumonia, following influenza

COMPANY CLUBS BIC AID TO. MEN IN RELIEVING THEM OF
 STRAIN OF CONSTANT SERVICE
Need of Such Organizations to Provide Entertainment for
 the Men Was Found to Be Even More Urgent After the
 Signing of the Armistc and When the Excitement Was Over and Homesickness Was Prevalent Among the Men

Company clubs among the men Of the A. F. F. by means of which they can direct their own special activities along the lines of entertainment and self-instruction and in which they can discuss topics of interest, are being promoted by Comrades in Service, an organized movement under the united support of army officials and welfare societies.
 The need for such movement be- . came apparent shortly after the sign ing of the armistice when the relaXa- ton from the strain of battle and the removal of a definite objective for ayhth to train resulted in a restless ness and lowering of morale in many units. Consultations between army commanders and leaders of the welfare organizations resulted in an agreement to place before the troops in France and in the army of occupation, plans for the formation of such clubs and outlines of activities which might be promoted by them.
 On January F. an initial public meeting was held at the Palais de Glace in Paris at which President Will son was present. Presentation of the aims and purposes of the movement was made by Bishop Charles H. Brent senior chaplain of the A. E. F., who is president of the central council, Com rades in Service Addresses were also made by E. c. Carter. chief secretary, Y. M. C. A; Rabbi H. G. Enelow, di- rector. Jewish Welfare Board. and Chaplain Jones, representing the Sal yatiou Army. F. l.. Hearn, chairman of the overseas committee, Knights of Columbus, who was prevented by ill., ness from being present sent a mes sage conveying his approval and offer ing the cooperation of the organiza-
 ion which he represents Rabbi Ste eJhen S Wise. of New York, also made an inspirational address in which he emphasized the lasting benefits to be

He was one of the men who paid nith his life for the success of Ameri- D.n arms in stopping the German on- ush7 toward Paris at the battle of rhateau Thierry. His name was Irving Todd Reynolds and he hailed from Phoenix. Arizona.
 It was necessary that some Ameri- can youths must pay with their lives fot the great allied victory and the ultimate success of allied arms is di- ractly due to the crushing defeat ad- ministered to the German hoTdes at Chateau Thierry And in the initial movement to wipe out Prussianism, several of Uncle Sam's best paid the supreme sacrifice
 Irving Reynolds was one of those who died that freedom might not per . ish from the earth He died fighting To the last ditch, fighting with all the i'm and vigor that good red American blood put into his body.
 His death occurred July T.. 1918. He resided at S11 North Seventh avenue Phoenix.

arose promptly in response to this stimulas. At the first meeting. head quarters club met the mulesl1inners. Prohibition was debated and the mule
 skinners, who had chosen the affirma- tive, won. Impromptu talks were made on "The Comparative Merits of Gold fish and Corn Willy" and Why Did They Build the Ocean so Close to the Shore?' Some members were serious. others were funny. For a stunt. one club put up a clever monologist; the other entered a jazz band" not a member of which could play. Head quarters won by four points and was heartily cheered by their vanquished opponents. The other clubs worked hard preparing for their turns. One battery started a company paper. Soon
