PLANS FOR DRIVE BEGUN
CAMPAIGN WILL DETERMINE THE
FUTURE OF RED CROSS.
Reasons for Maintaining Organization
at Present High Efficiency
Are Given.

Plans for the nationwide Red Cross
campaign, opening Monday, November
3 and closing Armistice Day, Novem-
Der II, are being begun in every city.
town and county by Red Cross work
ers. The primary object of the cam
paign, which will be known as the
Third Red Cross Roll Call. will be
to enroll members for 1920. Twenty
million members will be sought
throughout the country. and in the
Southwestern Division of the Red
Cross. comprising the states Of Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas. the quota has been set at
1000, 900 members.
It is the %onsensu Of opinion that
the coming drive is the most important
ever undertaken by the Red Cross, in
asmuch as the results will determine
to a large extent the possibilities Of
future Red Cross endeavors.
Is there an unspoken question in
your mind as to why the Red Cross
ia conducting a drive? II so, perhaps
the following brief outline will answer
your query:
The Red Cross, first of all, must
take care Of the wounded and disabled
soldiers in the hospitals. Thousands
of men are still in the hospitals,
abroad in the Army of Occupation, in
the camps awaiting discharge and in
service on the border. The Red Cross
rust continue to care for these men
Until the last man is home.
The safety of America hinges OH the
checking Of disease and Bolshevism
abroad. The Red Cross must complete
its obligations to foreign countries.
Red Cross relief commissions have
won their way into the hearts Of these
suffering peoples and have at hand the
means for the solution Of their prob
lens.
The Red Cross must answer the call
of the American people. The toll OF
the influenza epidemic, the health con.
ditions revealed by the draft, alarm
ing statistics concerning infant mortal
ity, have added to the growing reali-
zation that public welfare depends
on public health. The American peo-
pie are becoming aroused to the urgent
need of health knowledge. They have
realized the value Of Red Cross Home

x A BIG STATE.
She lie Going Into the War Savings
Campaign on a Scale Common
surate With Her Size.

A state that never does anything by
halves is Texas.
On the sale of Treasury Savings Ger.
uhcates, the state set a quota, and for
August and September it must have
been a big one. We gathered this
from the Dallas (Tex.) Bulletin.
The three banks in German, Tex,
purchased $1,000 in one week for
their customers. Next week they
bought 81, 200.
Desdemona, Tex, ordered through
Its bank $3S, 900 worth the first week
and said by September Is orders would
be placed for an additional $25, 000.
The Chambers County State Bank
set a 60.day quota Of $4,000 for Au-
gust and September. and by Septem-
Der had sold SOS, 1000.

communities where no other social
agency is at work. They are learning
to appreciate that the future Of Amer
lea depends on the training for cit
izenship of the coming generations.
America Is turning to the Red Cross
for help in solving these community
problems.
One of the best reasons for the
maintenance of the Red Cross at its
present high state OF reorganization
and efficiency is to be found IN the
rrompt relief measures taken during
the recent storms that swept the Texas
coast.
The Red Cross, one Of whose objects
is to minimize suffering after JUST
such a disaster, had machinery IN
readiness that was put into instant
operation. Those left dependent by
injury and death were not compelled
to rely upon a haphazard improvised
organization to collect funds and dis
tribute in~efficiently and w~astefully the
means of relief. On the first receipt
of the news of the disaster, relief
trains were made up at Laredo and
San Antonio, Tex. trained disaster re
lief officials left st. Louis to take
charge of the disbursement OF sup
plies, while at Galveston a government
vessel was hurriedly impressed into
service to carry relief supplies.

round support Of the Red Cross II

Under a recent decision affecting
campaign plans, these women workers
will be asked to wear their uniforms
at all hours during the forthcoming
drive. A hou%se-to-house canvass of
every city, town and county in the

the Roll Call, and it is expected that
the wearing of the uniform will have
much to do with bringing back the
former wartime spirit Of loyalty and
devotion.

Graphic Story Of Bill Creene's Adventure
in Promotion Finance Which Brought
Great And Important Results
WIDE PUBLICITY TURNED THE TRICK

From about 1894 to his retirement
in 1907 the history of the tremendous
DEVELOPMENT of northern Sonora was
practically the history of Bill Greene
the celebrated cowman-mine-prom
ter of Cananea fame.
Within an incredibly short time, from
hamlet of few dozen people he
made Cananea a town of some 10000
people, and created Que of the big
gest copper mines in the world, re-
presenting a fixed investment of
around twenty million dollars CO.
600, ,OOO) of outside capital, which has
caused since an annual outpouring
of metal the equivalent of $5,OOO,OOO
to $1OOO0.OO0 of brand new wealth
year in and year out. Incidentally
Mr.. Greene became Col. w. c. Greene,
an honored member of the romantic
"nouveaux rich.'
For thirty years Greene had been a
well known frontier character and
miner-rancher of indifferents success
AS an on locker he had witnessed per-
sonally many of the phenomenally sue
cessful promotion campaigns, such as
Homestake, Butte and Tombstone.
Frequently, when he thought he had
learned the game, he acquired a con-
tract on some property and besieged
the strongholds of capital from San
Franciso to New York. Up to the
Cananea episode, though he had estab-
lished reputation as "a dead game
sport" he had met with Indifferent or
no fundamental success; and his loyal,
old miner-rancher friends along the
San Pedro, had become somewhat skep
tical or Bills ability as a financier.
However, in the copper boom of
some twenty years ago Greene obtain
ed contract from the Widow Pes
queira on the virgin mineral ground
which now constitutes the holdings
of the great Cananea mines and
smelters.
With this contract in hand Greene
once again persuaded his old time
local friends to rustic funds to send
The daily morning oasis., 1919-07-28

him to San Francisco and New York
Sin order to interest capital to develop
the property
Greene's protracted trips and long
absence with but little definite news
caused his pals to have many misgiv-
ings, when suddenly he returned, la
conically announced to his friends that
he "had raised the money" to push his
big operations at Cananea, and told
his henchmen to organize the new
camp and commence to make the dirt
fly. His friends were amazed at the
magnitude of his proposition, and not
until he flashed several $4,000 bills
from a wad of elephantine dimensions
before the eyes of his two bosom
friends, Jim Kirk and "Old Pack" did
they realize that Greene had ARRIVED
Will IHC 6OOuS.
Such was the romantic beginning
of Cananea. From from that time
Colonel Greene was hero and finan-
cier to his old time friends. The inside
facts of sudden elevation from me-
diocre miner-rancher and peripatetic
promoter to full fledged financial
magnate, have never been told and
have ever remained a mystery along
the border.
AS Colonel Greene and all the par
ties Immediately connected with the
New York end of the romantic long
ago have been gathered to their fa-
theirs, is now seems appropriate for
THE OASIS to publish the story
as told it's editor by one whose position
in the marts of the mighty made him
entirely familiar with every phase of
the early history of Cananea. Herein
after follows the alleged entrails of the
deal practically verbatim:

seeking capital he had often met, both

an able New York corporation lawyer,

Street district With his law business

SURPLUS COPPER
RESOLD TO THE
PRODUCERS
Omitted Press Servics)

WASHINGTON, July 26.--Before the
House Committee Investigating the
Conduct of the War, today, il was
charged by E. V. Morse, Assistant Di-
rector of Sales in the War Department,
that the department agreed to hold
100000 pounds of copper from the
market, the agreement being made at
a conference between Secretary of
War Baker and the copper producers
representatives.
Virtually all this copper has since
been resold at reduced prices to the
producers, from whom it had been
bought when the war was on and con-
sumption was immense, Morse said
the copper was purchased at prices
ranging from sixteen to twenty-six
cents per pound, and it was sold at
fraction less than sixteen cents per
pound.
According to the testimony of Mr.
Morse the entire surplue stock of cop
per in the stores of the War Depart
ment is being disposed of through the
United Metals Selling Company, an
organization including 95 per cent of
the copper mining industry.

Minister Erzberger characterized
the former German government as a

it withheld fom the public truth that

cularly with regard to the blockade

that violation of Belgium was "a mis-

Erzberger surprised the whole AS

letter, dated August Sd, 1917, from the
Papal Nuncio at Munich, addressed to
Chancellor Michaelis, of the German
Imperial government. Erzberger ex-
planned that the letter covered a tele-
gram to the Papal See from the British
Minister of Foreign Affairs to the
Vatican. The Nuncio's letter said in
part:
GA declaration is desired with re-
gard to the Imperial governments in
tention toward the complete indepen-
dence of Belgium, and payment of
damages to that country. Your at
tention is also directed to the ques-
ton of guarantees: If satisfactory
declarations are made upon these
points an important step will be taken
toward peace negotiations"
Declaring that Michaelis had an
swered evasively Erzberger turned to-
wards the conservatives and shouted
'!You were responsible for continue
ton of the war until Germany met
Iefeated."
A tremendous uproar followed i'm
mediately, the conservatives protest
ing against the accusation, and the
Socialists shouting at them; "Mur-
derers" 1t was some time before
order could be restored in the As
