COLORED PEOPLE OF PHOENIX HAVE RIGHT TO BE PROUD OF THEIR RECORD DURING WAR

 These people ask that they be given a fair chance to earn a decent. living that will support them and their fami- lies in the style and circumstances which their ability to contribute to. .the economic welfare and betterment of the country entities them to expect.
 The law-abiding, tax-paying and bond purchasing colored citizens of this community ask that their children
 be given the same opportunity for re-
 ceiving an education that the children of other citizens are given; that the school funds be justly distributed and that their children shall have appro- priated for their education the same amount of money, proportionately, that is appropriated for the education of
 other children in the community. They do not ask for special friendship or sympathy, but they do ask for an op- portunity to work, live, develop and
 enjoy themselves according to the
 privileges and rights guaranteed by the constitution to American citizens; that 1 as they have put their all on the altar | for their country's good, their country will grant them simple justice, and ar equal opportunity in the race of lifs

Colored citizens of Phoenix have every right to be proud of their records in the past loan drives and other war relief agencies. Individual subscrip- tions range from $50 to $1,000, and all erty bonds. Many have invested in baby bonds and war savings stamps. Besides the individual owners of bonds, there are several societies and other organizations that made bond pur- chases. Among this class of purchasers are the churches, women's clubs, fra ternal societies and few other private institutions. Even the school children have done their bit, nobly. They de- vote much time to buying and selling thrift stamps and all take great inter est and delight in the work.
 The men and women of the race have given, not only of their means, but of their services as well. The Colored Red Cross has organized sewing and knitting clubs and these clubs have prepared many articles for our sol diers and turned them in to the local Red Cross chapter. Both men and women have served on various loan committees and their work proved highly efficient. One lady alone solo over $2,000 worth of bonds during one of the loan drives and there was a score or more who sold $500 and s1o0t worth of bonds to the colored people.

These long sundered and lately disorganized territories can not be wholly left to themselves to work out their own salvation. The Hun is too near them. and too we'll organized both for military aggression and for commercial penetration.
 It must not be forgotten that in case all the properly German" states de- eide to hang together. and to invoke for themselves the principle of ma tional self nation to which the allies are pledged, they will constitute . compact nation of about 6O.0O0, ,0o0.

FINE WAR SPIRIT IS SHOWN
 IN SUCCESS OF THE DRIVES
History of the Various Campaigns In Maricopa County to Raise Money for Relief Work Shows Each Succeed ing One to Be Easier Attained Than the Preceding and With Larger Over quota Total

Probably nothing has demonstrated the splendid war time spirit of those who had to stay here at home during the fighting as has the record Phoenix and hEaricopa county-and for that matter. all Arizona-made in the var ious patriotic drives during the war, exclusive of the Liberty loan cam paigns. It was the money recruited by these drives that went to make the men who were fighting happy and con- tented, and this money represented not a loan to the government or an invest uncnt. but a plain gift 10 aid the com fort of the soldiers of Arizona and the United States. And as usual. in every appeal for funds Phoenix and AIaricopa county and Arizona made a mag nificcnly generous response.
 Durjng the war, from the time it was dec.alld in April, 1917, to the end Of 1913, at least three big drives to help thc boys were made nere-two Red Cross war fund drives to obtain money to make sure that every sick or wounded American soldier would get every possible chance to live, and not t0 4io, for his country, and the United War Fund Drirc to aid seven great organizations to take care of the boys comforts. In addition there were two r. VI. C. A. drives and Q number Of smaller and minor campaigns.

THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY MORNING. MAY 1O 1919

When Johnny Comes Marching Home" or some equivalent, promises to be sounding from brass bands and in popular chorus somewhere over the land for a year or more to come. Of course everybody is looking for the troop trains to come in and the khaki clad ranks to come swinging down the street. But a little reflection must show that any nation wide celebration of the victorious return of Our Boys from sOver there" must be symbolic rather than marking the actual home coming of them all, to be over and done within a few days
 To bring 100000 men back from France all at once IS as physically i'm possible as it was to get them there all at once. And it took about a year to get them there.

VARS END RALT LTS ARMY CAREER IF THESE TWO
 IF TIE REPUBLICAN,

Another member of The Republican force attracted by the war was Frank L. Savage, who, with Jean Y. Spear, enlisted under a brief call known as No. II for a special aviation section, for which a request had been made by General Pershing. The men of this section were to be sent immediately to France for trainin. The call was open only three or four days.
 They were sent to Kelly Yield. It was a week later that the great Ger man drive of March IS, was begun, and the plans relative 10 this contingent were changed. Soon after his arrival at Kelly Field, Savage joined the edi- torial force of the Kelly Field Eagle. " That sprightly journal was demobilized along with it's force and it has become a civilian magazine, published at San Antonio, Texas. Savage is one of the editors and officers of the publication.
 Spear was transferred 10 the second officers training camp at Camp Mac Arthur where the signing of the armis- tice left him midway in his course.

PHOENIX CHINESE
 GAVE THEIR SHARE
 TO HELP U. s. YIN

The Chinese residents of Phoenix have contributed their share to the recent world war both with money to pay the bills and with boys to fight the battles.
 Ten China boys from Phoenix are now in the Army of Occupation ID Germany and three have but recently returned from service overseas. These boys, although some of them coul1 scarcely speak English, were wiling workers and fighters and labored Tor Uncle Sam with the same spirit as the boys who were born under the .flag.
 The Chinese residents of PhoenlN have also been liberal subscribers to the various issues of the Liberty loans and in the last issue a Chinese business establishment in this city went over the top in the 100 per cent subscription class. Many of them are also making plans to subscribe in the present Vic tory loan campaign and show Uncle Sam that a country that is worth living in is worth supporting, CT rather loan- ing funds to tide 1t over for few years. No doubt but there are mary Chinese residents of this city and other communities that would gladly SN the amount they have invested in Lib erty bonds for the mere privilege of Ewing in thi scountry.
 Eleven employees of the American ! Kitchen, a Chinese restaurant of th-s city, have seen service under Old Glory during the past two years. Seven oi these boys are still overseas, the others have returned and have taken up their i former positions in the establishment 1 here. One of the boys who returned is d Filipino, but the others are Chi l nese. Their names arc as follows: Dea 1 H. Toy, Aug N. Slick, and Gin Kay 1 Quong, and the Filipino boy, Emilio Raino

Mayor George A.

 The celebration was marred some what by the drizzling rain that con- tinued through the evening, making 1t necessary to shorten the program somewhat. This fact did not prevent several thousand people from attend ing the exercises, nor did it drive away the thousands who stood around the huge bonfire for over an hour. The celebration was formally opened at 6:05 by the blowing of factory Whs- ties, followed by the ringing of church chimes. The parade, headed by two

 Police Given 'the Razz'
 The alterCatiOn, which did not adj vance further than the stage of heated argument came after one of the mem bers of a disorganized body of service men suggested that the police be given the ''razz.'
