SYRIAN SUFFERING TOUCHCOMES CLOSE
 ID PHOENIX FAMILY

A touch of the suffering and devas- tation in the foreign countries is brought home to many in this country, and particularly so to one Phoenix family, that of W. T. Tibsherany. Mir. and Mrs. Tibsherany and daughter have lived in Phoenix for the past seven years. They came from near Beyrout. Syria. Mir. Tibsherany, now in Phoenix. is in business on East Washington street. During the four years of the war he was unable to get any information regarding his son and his sons family living near Beyrout, Syria
 They had frequently read reports of the wholesale killing. deportation and suffering of the peoples of Syria, but they could get no word regarding their own relatives. As soon as the armis- tice was signed. he placed the matter in the hands of John Hyder. who ar ranged to find and send funds to any of the living relatives of Tibsherany. Money was cabled through eastern banks, but 1t seems that replies could not be gotten. Three weeks ago NIT. Hyder wrote fully to the Hon. Carl Hayden. following it with wires. re- questing that Arizona's representative ascertain at that time whether or not the son was still living There was no American representative at Beyrout.
 Representative Hayden took the matter up with the state department which took the matter up with tho American consul at Cairo. Egypt, and yesterday a welcome telegram was re- ccived by Mir. Hyder as follows: state department 10 day received cable read ing Tibshernny residing in Betkinta Wife and sister at home trying to earn living. In poor conditions and need help immediately. State department will be glad to assist in transmitting funds. Carl Hayden"
 When Mir. Hyder gave the glad news Co the Tibsherany family. the mother and father were overjoyed. Arrange nents were made at once to cable through NIT. Hayden $500. with the re- quest that. as an expression of appre- ciation of the finding of his son. s10C of the sum be given by young Tibshe. raney to the poor at home in Syria. A. yet the family have had no further in. formation regarding the former popu. lation in Beskinta, but it is knowr from a report that a neighboring towr of 5000 population has left now but I people.

 T saw him for moment in the aft ernoon of September 26. He was then leading the company forward. He shouted a greeting to me and we waved encouragement to each other. did not see him again.
 At the time he was struck by a fragment of high explosive shell, I was few hundred yards to his left, and did not hear of it until the follow ing day. He was hit while leading his company forward under very heavy artillery fire. He remained conscious and gave orders to the next in con- mand to carry on with the company. One of the non commissioned officers who helned dress the wound, told me that Jim ordered him forward, unwilI- ing to permit him to further endanger his life by remaying exposed to the shell fire while dressing the wound The man refused to leave, however, and remained with Jim until stretcher bearers were found who carried him to the rear
 We officers deeply loved and re- spected your son, and the men of the company would, and did, gladly follow him anywhere. In every way he lived and died an example of the highest ideal of a gentleman and an officer We have grown very intimate, and know whereof I speak. am glad to in form you of the magnificent manne, l in which Jim conducted himself when the great test came. I shall always revere him in my memory"
 Last I read the following extract from. the tender tribute of Bryant Vii. son, Lieutenant Higley's chaplain written to the young mans mother: | Tt will be a comfort to you tt know" writes the chaplain, mot only that your boy died the heroic deatl of soldier of freedom, but that he wa. given a Christian burial, and wa. tenderly laid to rest with a religion, service in which the blessing of Al mighty God was invoked in behalf o him, his dear ones, and the cause fo whlch he gave the last full measure o devotion.
 The deeds in which your son too such an honorable part will be writ ten large on the pages of history; an future generations shall rise up to ca him blessed because of his unselfis giving of his life for the redemption c the world from injustice and bar parity"

TRIBUTE PAID TOCAP H|CLEY
 AT HIGH SCHOOL

At the high school services on Fri day in honor of the high school boys who fell in the great war, this tribute was paid by Northcutt Ely to Captain James S. Higley:
 Nine of our alumni have died in the great war, and we have met today to do hotor to our hero dead. To me has been assigned the privilege of saying a few words in loving memory of a cherished friend, James Higley, who fell in France, at the battle of the Argonne, while gallantly leading his company Many Of us knew him well, and could tell of his manly qualities, but 1 do not think I could do better than to read to you letters from his comrades, written to his mother. tell ing of his last days.
 First, I shall read an extract from one of the last of Captain Higley's let ters written while he was in training in France, just before he entered the big fight. which expresses the boyish enthusiasm and noble sentiment that moved him. up to his very death He says:
 'As to what I am doing
 First of all, Captain Blank was re- lieved of command of the company and also of association with this division and ordered to report elsewhere-no one knows why. Therefore all company | funds, etc., were transferred to me ana l am in command.

WHODRAGGEDH|GHWAY
 THAT CAUSED INJURY?

Whether or not a road was dragged by the Southwest Cotton company or the county is the subject in dispute in the s26.O00 action for damages brought by James Underwood against the cot ton company, now on trial in Judge iyman's court.
 Underwood holds the company re- sponsible for the accident which has seriously disabled him. He was driv- ing a team for the defendant from Avondale to Central, when in going over an excavation covered with loose dirt he was thrown from his seat and struck by the iron castings which com prised his load.
 The company's defense is that 1t is not liable for the road which it did not drag. The case will probably go to the jury late Monday afternoon. When court adjourned yesterday the matter was continued until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Many hints are given, in these days, with regard to the manner in which re- spect should be shown by Americans for the American flag, and there is much talk of the desirability of salut- ing it~by raising ones hat, and so on.
