LYMAN L. PIERCE Director General of the lnterchurch Financial Campaign.

Lyman L. Pierce, Red Cross and United War Work campaign leader, and formerly general secretary of the San Francisco Y. M. c. A., has been appointed Director General of the United Simultaneous Financial Cam paign of the Interchurch World Move. ment for $336,777,572 in 1920.
 MT. Pierce, who is generally known in Y. M. c. A. circles throughout Cali fornia, Arizona and Nevada, wrote the Plan Book of the National Red Cross Campaign, as we'll as taking an active part in several of the national war work drives.
 The keynote of the entire campaign Is sounded by Director Pierce in the following statement:
 We must have unmistakable de- nominational autonomy and indepen- dence, combined with a maximum of team play.
 'The national financial objective of the Interchurch World Movement will be the sum total of all the accepted budgets of all denominational forward movements engaged in the campaign. Each state financial objective will be an equitable share of the national ob- jective. All money raised will be spent by the various denominations partici. pating, each denomination to receive all the money subscribed through ita local constituency"

Government. On July 1, 1919, there were 20,714,7S5 acres of vacant pub lie land in my State. Congress has made it a crime to fence the public domain, and there are numerous other Federal statutes affecting it, which cause issues to arise that can only be determined in the Federal court.
 Ten tribes of Indians, numbering over 44,5O0 souls, reside in Arizona, and 20,714,7S5 acres of land has been set aside for their benefit. As wards of the Government, the rights of these Indians must be protected by the Fed eral court.
 Forest reserves to the extent of 12,- 'O76, ,6S9 acres have been created in Ari- zona. In keeping with the policy of conservation, trespassing upon a na- tional forest has been made crime triable before the Federal judge.
 Under the reclamation law SIS, 9,248,- 199 has been expended up to June 30, 1919, in the construction of the Salt River and Yuma irrigation projects in Arizona; all of which was to be repaid by the water users. There is now pending before the Federal court a suit to determine whether the United States can collect several million dol lars of this money.
 But I have not recited all of the Federal activities in my State, which inevitably increase the business before the United States court. The Repub- lie, of Mexico bounds Arizona on the south, and a poorly guarded interna- tional line encourages smuggling and violation of the immigration laws. Such cases, together with persons charged with shipping arms and am munition into Mexico in violation of the proclamation of the President, take up much of the time of the Fed eral court.
 It goes without saying that the Fed eral court in Arizona has assumed it's full share of the general increase in the number of cases arising under the food and drugs act, the antinarcotic law, the enforcement of prohibition, the amendments to interstate-commer- ce act, and numerous other laws re- gently enacted by Congress. The prompt and proper enforcement of these new laws is usually the reason advanced for the appointment of ad- ditional judges in other States, but l hope that I have convinced the melh- bers of this committee that the situa- tion in Arizona is Tn class by itself and that the need for relief is real and urgent.

ADDITIONAL FEDERAL
 JUDGE FOR ARIZONA

Washington, D. C., April 7.-The hearings before the House Committee on the Judiciary on the bill to pro- vide an additional District Judge for the United States Court in Arizona have just been printed. In the course of his argument in support of the prompt enactment of this measure Congressman Carl Hayden said:
 "The population of Arizona has doubled in the past 10 years and the State is the fifth in area in the Union, yet neither the number of people or the size of the State are vital factors. The demand for an additional Federal judge for the district of Arizona is primarily based upon the volume of business pending before the United States court, which is so great that no single judge, however able, could possibly keep his work up to date, even with the assistance of such other Federal judges as are from time to Sirne temporarily assigned to assist him. There have been occasions when two outside judges were holding court in Arizona in addition to our own judge. yet all three of them were un- able to make any appreciable re'iuc- tion in the number of cases awaiting trial.
 In the last Congress this committee favorably reported to the House a bill providing for an additional Federal judge in Arizona. The bill was placed upon the calendar for unanimous con- sent, and a Member of Congress from Indiana objected to it's consideration. When I afterwards inquired of him as as to why he did so, the gentleman said that the State of Indiana, with a population of 3,OO0,0O0, had but one Federal Judge and he could see no pos sible reason why the three or four hundred thousand people of Arizona would require the services of two judges.
 I then explained to him, as I want to make clear to the members of this committee, how different the actual conditions are in Arizona and in In diana or any other of the States in the East where all the land has passed into private ownership. Seventy five per cent of the area of Arizona is to- day under the control of the Federal

COnfucius on Women

Said Confucius: "Of all people girls and servants are the most diff ficult to behave to. If you are fam iliar with them, they lose their hum- ility. If you maintain reserve toward them, they are discontented." Chin csc servants must have greatly i'm proved since the Confucian period; at least modern times cannot parallel their excellence. As to Chinese girls, it is not safe to commit oneself con- corning the girls of any nation, but they look discreet and slim and fair as flowers under their fringes of black hair, and gay as flowers, too, in their little pink and blue and violet coats buttoned straight up to their chins.- New Republic.

WARNING

Red Cross Home Service officials at
Southwestern Division headquarters
at ST. Louis esterday issued warn
ing cautioning former soldiers, sail
ors- and marines against profteering
lawyers who exact exhorbitant fees
from the poor and ignorant for legal
services of tri fling character in con-
nection with the filing of claims
against the government.
cit has com to the attention of
the Red Cross said a Home Service
official, chat mong certain class
of attorneys formerly known as Eam-
bulance' chasers practice has grown
up of charging fees ranging from
500 to $3.50 for filing compensation
claims of former soldiers against the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Ma
turally the only ones taken in by
these sharpers are people of the
poorer classes who are vastly unfa-
niliar with legal formalities
"a case in point is to be found in
the Illustration concerning a soldier
whose claim, amounting to $1,000, had
been granted but who had been adj
judged mentally incapable It was
necessary that guardian be appoint
ed. The family went to lawyer. He
told them the court costs would
amount to $50 which was about right
But then on top of that he exacted
two more payments of $50 and a
final one of $25 for legal charges
The family was compelled to go out
and borrow all this money which they
paid for at usurious rate of interest
When they refused further payment
the attorney notified them that it was
all off'-their claim had been dis
allowed At this point they commun-
lcated with the Red Cross and mat
tiers finally were Strengthened out sat
isfactorily
cit is only fair that attorneys who
handle such claims should be REIN
bursed to some extent for their time
and trouble Many people are unable
to raise even that small amount and
have to apply to the Red Cross for a
loan until the claim is paid. If per-
| sons who are about to press such
| claims will apply to the Home Service
Section of the local chapter of the
Red Cross, they will be directed TIC
competent attorneys of known integ-
r1ty who will prosecute their claims
at a fair and equitable charge"
