FIGHTING HUNDRED
 PLEDGE GENEROUSLY
(Continued from Pare Onel

when America whipped five times her number of Germans. The speaker il- frustrated how, with 10000 battle planes ready to send over, with enough tanks | started on the way to place a tank | every 75 feet for the 120 miles of Allied I front and six guns for each man, the morale of the Germans was broken with the help of a smaller number of fighting Americans.
 Tells of Friehtful Cost
 Mir. Treftz told of how 17.Ooo Ameri- cans killed the great onrush of Ger mans nine feet high with well-directed long distance rifle fire Great Britain, he said, lost more men than America sent to France, and more F'renchmen | were dead in the war than the com plete number of Americans sent to France, and of the 1,600, 900 dead, 4o0,- | 900 were killed during the last three | months preceding the entrance of | America and more were left dead at | i Verdun than were killed in the Civil | War.
 i NOW" said MT. Treftz, 'the great war was won with blood, with lives of |, Americans who died for us," and he felt sure that now all Americans, and Phoenix in particular, would take ad- vantage of this loan to show that they were not slackers or yellowbacks, but they, like the boys last July who did not know when to stop, would not now stop until the paying for the end of the war was furnished.
 He made an appeal to the business men assembled to lead off and make additional subscriptions to show the rest of the people what they them selves were willing to do
 Chairman Heard then in ringing
 tones declared that it was up to the
 meeting to put the suggestion of Mir. Treftz into action if they wanted to put Phoenix over the top.
 If there had been any doubt of the
 patriotism and loyalty of the business
 men present, it was quickly dispelled
 when the additional subscriptions to
 the Victory loan began to pour in. In
 an inspiring manner the men doubled
 and in many cases tripIed their prev
 ious subscriptions until within a short
 time more than S100,000 was realized
 in subscriptions.
 The organization of a team of work
 CTS to be known as the "Fighting One
 Hundred" to put Phoenix over the top
 in the Victory loan was suggested and as quickly endorsed. These men, to
 their additional subscriptions made
 yesterday will add their iabors for the
 next three days or a part of them.
 David Goldberg Chairman
 Committees were appointed to con- plete arrangements for the work of the
 Fighting One Hundred" David Gold
 berg was made chairman of a commit
 tee to cooperate with the Chautauqua management to work with the Chau-
 tauqua audience.
 Following the luncheon the Fighting
 One Hundred" preceded by the Me Arthur Brothers jazz band and Boy
