moved forward there was heavy
hand-to-hand fighting in the villages,
but Sedan was never reached by any
American unit. Marching and coun-
ter-marching, with weary bodies that
slept only on muddy ground, they
were ready for the next forward
movement when the orders should
come, all unknowing that the god of
war was surfeited with sacrifice and
had sheathed his sword in it's age
less scabbard.
For, in spite of the bridgeheads es-
tablished across the Meuse on the
night of November 10-11 in prepa-
ration for the advance of the 5th
Corps, the armistice was announced
in the morning and by II am. of that
strangely quiet day the throats Of the
guns cooled and the finished art of
Staying men was as though it had
never been.
According to the terms OF the
armistice the bridgeheads OF Cologne,
Coblenz and Mayence were to be oc-
~upied by allied troops. The 1st Di-
vision was made a part of the 4th
Corps in the Army of Occupation
but it was later transferred to the

Perhaps the greatest battle in all
history was the second phase of the
Meuse-Argonne, a renewed general
assault against the weakening enemy,
for 1T had been determined that the
foe should not stabilize his lines to
rest in his perfected trenches for
another Winter. BY October 81 the
1St Division, as a reserve, was as
signed to the 5th Army Corps, par
ticipating in this great drive. The
I'd Division was to press the battle,
but if unable to reach it's objective

A quadruple barrage from COS guns
protected the men with it's annihilat-
ing power as it moved ahead of them
to fall upon the enemy with mex

Gus forward movement, meeting with
little resistance from the Germans, so

the American guns. The I'd Division

On September 10 as their long

Damakute could not make himself

TIE word Moro corresponds some
what to Mohammedan. There arc
nearly as many tribes of Moros as
OF American Indians, and. although
all are of Malay origin with a strain
of Hindu and aboriginal blood, they
are all different one from the other.
The Moros are practically of the

of the north. being the product of

It is strange how the old traditions
of the people of the Philippines
tramp on the heels of the Scriptures
and the Arabian Nights" According
to DR.. Najeeb VI. Saleeby, the chief
Arabic scholar of this part of the
world, the word Mindanao means in
undated, and indicates a tradition
that reminds one of Noah. Accord
ing to documents which the learned
doctor has translated, there was a
time when nothing could be seen of
this island but the tops of it's noun
tains, and the peopi had sought
refuge there when three or four ter
rible monsters appeared, devourins
every human being who came within
reach.
One of the animals was kurita,
whose horrid legs numbered more
than those of the octopus. His home
was Mount Kabalalan, and he had
destroyed all the people about it.
The second was the terrible giant
Tarabusaw, and the third was bird

reached the age of marriage and
properly equipped with the nee
i essary knowledge for the mar
riage state. What next?
There follows, then, the period of
love and courtship, admittedly the
most blissful phase Of human exist
ence. The young lover. though he
has selected his mate, has not yet
ventured to declare himself. He is
filled with hopes and fears, with al
ternating exuberation and despair.
At one moment he is in the heights;
at another he is in the depths.
He oscillates to and fro; at one in
slant he is hurled forward, at another
he is shot backward. At times. again,
he is whirled sidewise and thrown
edgewise or left sticking wrong side
up. How must the lover conduct him
self during this period? How must
his time be spent? What can he do to
| absorb the terrific shocks which come
to him one after the other?
We have no hesitation in answering
this inquiry. All the authorities on
the subject are agreed upon this point
The young lover must spend his time
in immediate commune with Nature.
Fleeing the crowded haunts of man,
he must go and bury himself in the
forest. There. in the heart of the
woods, he must lie prone upon his
back, looking upward at the sky and
thinking what worm he is. Or he
must climb to the height of the
mountains and stand upon "A dizzy
crag, letting the wind blow through
his hair.
While doing this he must reflect
how little it would matter if the wind

dim light saw a huge bird descend
ing. This was Pah. Sulayman drew
his sword, and was able to cut off
one wing. The huge bird fell dead,
but the wing was so heavy that when
it dropped on Sulayman it killed him.
Then the other, Rajah Indaraputra,
took his airplane and went to look
up his brother Sulayman. He brought
him back to life by pouring some
heavenly water over his bones and
together the two cleaned up the
islands.
The Moros now believe these ra-
jahs to be the ancestors of most of
their people, some of whose genealo-

Moros when our soldiers took posses
sion of this part of the Philippines,
and visited Zamboanga as a war cor
respondent, having come south from
Manila on a transport loaded with
mules for the army. At that time
the Moros were going about with
long krisses attached to their waists,
and every boy had his knife. 1 found
the same in Cotabato. in Parang-
Parang. where L met the Sultan OF
Magindanao, and also in the Sulu
Archipelago.
These krisses were so sharp that
was able to shave the hairs from the
back of my hand with any of them.
They had blades that wound in and
out like a snake, and which were
used, / am told, for disemboweling
their enemies. The high officials
among them had slaves who carried

long, which were chiefly used for be-
heading.
Datto Mandi showed me some strik-
ing kris work, and ] was told that
he could cleave a man from the
crown to the waist with one stroke.
A favorite cut was down through the
shoulder, cutting off the head, neck
and one-half the chest, including one
arm. The old Moros sometimes ham
strung their victims, and their COM
mon method of execution was to tie a
mans hands behind him and to be-
head him with one blow of the knife
A person so killed was often chopped
into mincemeat by the men and boys
who wanted to try their knives on
human flesh.

him as he watches my typewriter.
His big head is as brown as the
skin of well smoked fat ham. His
nose is the size of the fist of d baby
and his black eyes pierce my soul.
His mouth is of CavernouS proper

blood-red saliva are trickling down
the side of his chin, which is partly
covered by coarse black beard that
looks like shaving brush, and his
black oily hair hangs down from
his red silk turban touching his
black satin clad shoulders.
His shirt fits tightly. 1t is fastened

W|NSLOW APPRENTICES
DRUBBED AT FOOTBALL

Outweighed nearly thirty pounds to
the man the Winslow apprentices went
down to the crushing defeat of 70 to
0 before the San Bernardino team
Christmas Day on the latter's field In
the final football game of the season.
The San Bernardino team excelled
the local aggregation at every stage
of the game, breaking through the
opponents defense almost at will and
presenting a battling overhead play
while their defense proved impregn-
able.
Dan Hitchcock, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Hitchcock Of this city and fullback on
the San Bernardino team, was the
outstanding star of the game. His
phenomenal passing in the earial play
and smashing line plunges featured
the lop-sided struggle. Of the IL
touchdowns Hitchcock crossed the goal
with three of them converted three
times out of seven attempts and fig
ured conspicuously in the long gains
made by the California team.
Lack of practice during the past
month was the cause of the poor
showing made by the local team. The
weather conditions were such that the
Winslow apprentices were unable to
practice to any extent whatever, and
as a result were in no condition to
play the strong western team. which
showed that it was in fine fettle.
Hawthorne, quarterback on the local
aggregation, starred in making gains
for the Winslow squad. During the
first few minutes of play he recover
ed forward pass and was in fair
way to make "a touchdown, but was
stopped after sprinting % yards. This
was the longest gain made by the
local boys during the entire contest.
The California team made three
touchdowns in the first quarter, two
in the second, three in the third with
three unconverted points and in the
final period three touchdowns adding
10 points.

Tax Commission Grants
Supervisors $4,000 Levy

W. J. Grocer, members of the board
of supervisors, has advised the Mail
that the supervisors have received
word from the Arizona Tax Com
mission granting them permission to
levy a special tax of $4,000 to re-
pair the Joe City and the Holbrook
bridges, which were damaged during
the floods last summer. The board
will make provision for the levy when
the tax rate is fixed in June.
Application was made several weeks
ago to the commission by the super
visors for permission to declare an
emergency and to make a tax levy
of $4,000 for repairing the two
bridges.
Mr.. Crozer who attended a meet
ing of the board on Monday called
to dispose of all unfinished business
of last year, also stated that ohe
flood of last week washed out the
east approach to the Snowflake brid-
ge and for time endangered the
structure itself.
Only prompt action on the part of
the supervisors saved the bridge.
