PEOPLE- OF ARIZONA ARE
> NOW AROU, SED TO
REALIZATlON OF
THE I R RESPONSIBILI­TIES
IN WORLD STRUG­GLEFOR
LIBERTY
The appearance off our eastern coast
of that- shark of the sea, the submarine,
has only intensified the fighting spirit or
the American people and illustrates the
desperate situation in which Germany
finds, herself. Her scoffings of a year
ago at American troops and America's
preparations have given place to grave
apprehension, and in a desperate effort to
preveht the passage to France of those
men' who are bound to turn the ' tide
against them, the Huns have been forced
to' resort to these submarine attacks on
our Atlantic coast.
, More- and more there is being awakened
throughout Arizona an uncompromising
spirit of one hundred percent American­ism.'
The recent wholesome convictions
" of the federal court for disloyalty and sedi­tion
have shown clearly that in Arizona
there is no place for- the man or woman
who is' not - ready to do his or her full
share in winning this war.
With the departure on May 27th of
1800 more of Arizona's sons to the train­irig
camps, the quota in various branches
of the , service, _ from this State, exceeded
9,000 men, arecord which in proportion to
our population is, I understand, equalled
by no other State: -
During the past month Arizona has put
into practice its loyalty, having made a
record on the Third Liberty Loan of 213
percent of its allotment in - the Twelfth
Arizona Disllrict. The same sPirit of
service' was shown in Arizona's response
to the Red Cross war drive. We were
asked in this State for $ 200,000 and re­sponded
with over $ 450,000, and the most
gratifying indication of the aroused spirit
of the people was in the immense number
of those who contributed to the purchase
of Liberty Bonds imd made Red Cross
subscriptions. After all it is not the
size of these subscriptions to war work
that counts, but the spirit. It is probably
true that many people of limited means,
in a spirit of service and self- sacrifice,
made far better contributions proportion"
ately , than those whose' contributions
showed up. in much larger figures.
DUring the past month QUI' wori,
throughout the State has , been greatly/
- helped by the presence of two men direct:
ly from the front. ' First, the visit / of
Lieutenant' Paul Perigord, sen~-' to-' this
country ., th, dtreot ",,,,, ntatl\:'.;'
French Government, bringing a message
from the people of our great sister re­public
to this nation. Those who had the
good fortune to listen to Lieutenant Peri­gord
and hear his eloquent, inspired but
extremely modest message from the - front,
obtained a new idea of the appreciation
and affection of the French people for our
boys who are fighting side by side with
their own boys in the trenches, and were
given a new and vital Viewpoint of the
real and deep feeling of the French na­tion
toward its old ally of Revolutionary
days.
In the visit of Corporal Homer Whited,
who was one of the fifty men selected by
General Pershing, ' directly from the,
trenches, to bring back to the people of
America our own soldier's viewpoint, we
had an entirely different type- a clean­cut
youngster born in Alabama, with but
limited opportunities for education, and
leaving his work as an underground miner
for service in the army. The wholesome,
straightforward, simple story, straight
from' the heart, which this'young man told
carried conviction, and his trip through
the State under the auspices of the Coun­cil
of Defense and the Red Cross, was one
succession of unusually successful meet­ings
and brought di'rect to the relatives
of the Arizona' boys, some of whom are
already in, the, trenches in France,', the
comforting word that everything that or­ganized
intelligence and forethought can
do is being done to safeguard the health,
moral and general conditions of their
boys.
The various County Councils , report a
steadily increasing interest in the prac­tical
service work which they have under
way, and the boys at the front are show­ing
a constantly increasing appreciation
of the follow- up work for themselves and
their families which is being carried on
throughout the State. In my judgment
this work is not only going to be of in­creasing
importance during the war, but
it should be continued after the war, as
we have a plain duty to these young men
who are fighting for us, to see that when'
they comeback and re- enter civil life,
that they make the' re- entry under satis­factory
conditions and are given every
opportunity for those rewards in indus­_
try which their splendid service in the
fields will have justified.
Men and supplies are now moving
across the Atlantic to France in steadilY
increasing numbers. In the first ten days
of May this Nation transporte! 1 from the
Atlantic coast to France, over 98,000 men.
Our shipping , is now increasing much
faster than the submarine can destroy it;
our Airplanes are at last beginning " to
move to France, and the heroic record
made by th~ American boys ' on the French "
front during the past weelt; where they
held their ground whlle the rest of the
line was retreating, and hurled back
it:\\{-'::',

. NATIONAL GOVERN­MENT
ENDORSE, S
COUNTY AND COM­MUNITY
COUNCILS
County Councils of Defense are regard-,
ed by Government authorities as the most
important unit in the war machine the
United States is building for public de­fense,
because through them the govern­ment
at Washington is able to reach the
people direct and arouse patriotic" effort
and unity of support.
The County Council by its famlliarity
with local conditions, through its Com­munity
Counclls, becomes one of , the
greatest, if not the greatest, asset of' the
Government in organizing American, de­mocracy.
There is no fixed program for the Coun­ty
Counclls of Defense, but from time to
time the Council of National Defense sub­'
mits, through the State CounCil, various
suggestions and recommendations which
are deemed necessary for the fulfillment
or the war program. They feel, however,
that on account' of its acquaintance and
intimacy with local conditions that is not
possessed by either the National Council
of Defense or the State Council that the
most effective results wilJ be obtained
through the activities - initiated' by the
County Councils. " '
The National Government has given its
offiCial sanction to , County Counclls of
Defense and has adopted a resolution un­der
which the County Council is to be the
clearing house" for aU war activities with­in
its district. This means that all pa­triotic
societies and organizations should
be co- ordinated with the. County Councils
because the latter has the offiCial sanc-tion
of the Government.' ' , '
' To be effective in this work, arid, So that
all of the people in each county may be
reached, Community Councils should' be
formed by each County , Council. Com_
munity Councils are subSidiary to County
Councils and are the means by which the
Government can reach into the farther­most
corner of this great United States
and get ihto personal touch with every
man, woman and chlld.
, \
charge after charge of the desperate Ger­mans,
is a very conVincing ' indication , that
as America makes effective her immense
resources of men and suppl! es, that this
fight for democracy and the main: tenance
of American institUtions, is gOing to be
won largely through the efforts of our
own men, backed by a united and o'rgan~
ized Nittion. '
Yours faithfully,

TO ALL COUNTY COUN-CILS
OF DEFENSE
Send in your reports; I( eep the State
headquarters posted on all the actiVities
of your Council. Send newspaper clip­pings;
send names of the ac" tive workers
and tell what they are doing. Report on
all bulletins and suggestions sent tOYOH
by the State Council. If any recommen­dation
or program is not applicable in
your county, report to that effect.
Washington requests a monthly report
from the State Council, which has to be
filed before the 10th of each month. Un­less
County Councils respond promptly we
are obliged to send in an incomplete and
unsatisfactory summary of the month's
activities.
These State reports. are compiled at
Washington into a general statement of
National activities, and we want Arizona
to maintain the wonderful record she has
already made In furnishing · men and
money by carrying out in every county
in the State, as far as practicable, all
recommendations which the National
Government deems necessary for the win­ning
of the war.

BISBEE PEOPLE HEAR
LIEUTENANT PERIGORD
One of the most successful meetings
ever held in the State was the meeting in
Bisbee on May 11th, at whiCh speeches
were made by Professor Ford, George
Brinton Chandler, and Lieutenant · Peri­gord.
Dwight B. Heard presided. ' Lieu­tenant
Perigord spoke last and. aroused his
audience, composed chiefly of the workers
in the mines, of which over one thousand
were present, to such a degree of enthu­siasm
that they escorted him to the train
amidst cheers and shouts of ' good w! ll
toward France. ' .
PATRIOTIC EFFORT­STIMU:
LATED ' BY
STATE- WIDE', W: AR
CONFERENCE
The State COUllcil of Defense held a
state- wide war conference in Phoenix on
May 12th that started a wave of patriot-.
ism sweeping over the state such as hal3
never been seen before. Following closely
on the close of the Liberty Loan cam­paign,
which was marked by two mam­moth
parades; and coming just before the
great Red Cro'ss drive, the inspired ad­dress
of Lieutenant Paul Perigord, pol­ished
scholar, priest, and intrepid soldier,
delivered at the afternoon session at the
Christian chureh, will be long remembered
by those who heard him. ,
A' business session was held on the
morning of May 12th at the School Ad­ministration
building. The meeting was
attended by representatives of alJ war or­ganizations
and Federal administration~
in the state, and many County Councils
sent delegates or committees. Mr. George
Brinton Chandler and Professor Guy
Stanton Ford addressed the conference,
and important subjects were discussed
with the speakers.
Mr. Chandler, representing the CounCil
of National Defense, and who is recog­nized
as one of the leading organizers in
war WOl" in the United States, said in
part:
Finance
" I recommend that, the State Coun­cil
of Defense be established by law sta­tutory
enactment and be adequately fi­nanced
by public funds. You must con­duct
public business with a large outlOOK.
Those who grumble because , a'. few dollart>
are spent, brush away as a gnat, and 1001t
forward, adequately finance by publle
funds and let there be abundance of them.
n the membership be small or if it be
large, let there be an executive committee,
and in my state we have nineteen stand­ing
committees. We have no paid man­ager
in the state of Connecticut- in many
states they have. A man whose time
could not be purchased for '$ 30,000 a year
now gives all his time. If we could not
find that type of man to give his service
to the state we shOUld hire someone and
pay him. Business of this war must be
carried on with efficiency.
Co- ordination r
" Here is a very important recommenda-,
" tion- that you co- ordinate within the
State Defense Council, state- wise, coun-.
ty- wlse and ' community- wise, all the
various war aetivities- Fuel Administra­tion,
Food Administration, Red Cros,", '
, War ' Savings, Liberty Loan, La1:) or Bur­eau,
Y. M. C. A., Knights of ColumbUS,
Young Men's Hebrew, Association, Smlle­age
Book, etc;":' combine all various war
activities. , It does not mean they surren­der
their identity but that there shall be
that ' essential of all organizations if De­mocracy
is to be made efficient- efficient
team work that there shall not be waste c'
or duplication. It does seem there are
certain organizations so jealous of thel!'
prerogatives they consider the winning
. of the war but a by- product. , We cannot
have our little petty selfishness and am­bitions.
This is a time that tries men's
souls and cannot tolerate that spirit.
There , must be co- ordination of actlvitie~
of all- Co- ordination, within the State De­fense
Council of permanent local instru­mentalities
such as chambers of com­merce.
ARIZ 0 N A S E R V ICE . B - IT L LET I N PAGE , THRIDE
WHAT ' OTHER COUNCILS ARE DOING
Some idea of the magnitude of the work being done by Councils of Defense In
other States may be suggested by the following figUres showing appropriations and
expenditures:
State Funds Expenditures
California ............ $ 100,000- State funds appropriated $ 52,781.30 to January 15
Maine ................ 1,000,000- State funds appropriated 550,000.00 to April 1
Maryland ........... '., 2, OOO, OOO- State funds appropriated 268,702.82 to November 1
Massachusetts ........ 2,030, OOO- State funds appropriated
Michigan ............. 5,000,000- 4 per cent loan

New Hampshire ..... 1,000,000- State funds appropriated
New Mexico......... 750, OOO- State funds appropriated

Vermont ...... , . . .. .. 1,000,000- State funds appropriated
. Nearly $ 500,000 of this used to pay soldiers for. service on the border during the
Mexican trouble.- Minnesota in the War.
County and Community Councils
" The county councils are a ' replice of
state councils. It is very important that
there be below the state and county coune
cll an institution which we call in Connec­ticut
our ' War Bureaus' but which are
generally called ' Community Councils ot
Defense.' I understand YQU are organiz­ing
these · well. If you have a good stat"
defense council and good county councils
and no community councils you haven't
any council of defense in Arizona. If you
had a' general staff of the army but didn't
have any officer below the general or
colonel, you would not , have an army­without
colonels, majors, captains, lieu­tenants,
etc., you would have no way by
which an order from the general staff
would be repeated to Private Jones or
Smith. It is just the . same in making
Democracy efficient through state coun­cils
of defense- therQ must be machinery
extending from Washington- the Presi­dent
of the United States- right through
the ' National Council of Defense, to your
government, to your state council of de­fense,
to' these various counties here rep­resented,
and finally repeated to commun­Ities
and individuals. When you have
that you have organization · ., ..
County Conferences
" We recommend this state conferenc"
befollowed, as soon as practicable, by
similar county' conferences, or if the coun­ty
is not an appropriate unit for these
conferences on account of the distribution
of your population, sectional conferences.
Do not make the mistake we have in our
state- of being tied to certain arbitrary,
geographical boundaries. I have tried to
fight against that but they still worship
counties. Make a unit conference, and
immediately following these county con­.
ferences let there be held community con­ferences.
Carve out or delimit certain ar­bitrary
war adlllinistrative districts.
Labor
" In this state you have the labor ques­tion-
in the southern part of the state th",
I. W. W.- I refer to those elements in the
' ranks of labor which either from foolish­ness
or knavery are playing Germany's
game. Labor in a nation is loyal, instinc­tively
loyal,' but there are certain agitat­ors
who are seizing upon this hour to
promulgate a gospel of internationaJisn.
which would be destructive of all orderly ·
societies- certainly of . American institu­tions.
Insofar as that represents the hon­est
mistake of a fevered mind we, should
be patient with it; Insofar as it repre­sents-
and in my opinion It, toa very
large extent, represents something else.
a part of the German propaganda, who are
spending about half a billion' dollars' a
year in propagnda- we cannot fool with
that; cannot have any delay' in produc­tion.
You have great opportunities here.
The American people who are represented
by you and me, who belong to neither fac-,
tion in this class- you and I have a right
to say to capital and labor at this hour:
' If either one of you delay production for
a single day in this grave hour; we, the
American people, , will visit upon you a
punishment that it will take a generation
to recover from. '
Efficiency
" When we are fighting the Hun we can~
not spare people's feelings. If you have
an incompetent in any particular position
in the state of Arizona, use the surgeon's
knift and cut him or her out of the organ­ization
and- do not spare his or her feel­ings,
because the institution of soCiety is
bigger than any individual and we are
trying to serve organized society under .
principles of righteousness. If you have a
county chairman who won't answer'let­ters
when" sent out by the state counclt
and hasn't good grace to resign, ask him
to resign. You must have efficient peo­ple-
cannot afford to' have anything else.
The person who thinks'this war ' a burden
instead of an opportunity has not even
touched the great moral principles In­volved-
it is opportunity, glory. If thle
war: had' to come, should we not thank
God it came in our day; tliat He has giv­en
us to live in and be a part in the great­est
crisis in all the tide of time?, We are
all enlisted for the whole term of the war
and if we cannot be efficient let's resign
in good grace' and put someone in our
place. Andrew Carnegie said he was suc­cessful
as a manufacturer of steel 1:) ecause
he always surrounded himself with a
group o. f men very much cleverer than he
was. That is the principle of all adminis­trative
ability. The acid test of any per­son
is his ability ~ o select efficient Sub­ordinates.
If you nave a county or como'
munity chairman or official who says he

could be based. The result of this effort
on the part of the Council of Defense can
be seen by the foIlowing digest of a tele­gram
received by Mr. Heard from Julius
H. Barnes, President of the Food Admin­.
istration Grain Corporation:
On June 1, Mr. Barnes wired to the ef­fect
that the W'hole plan of wheat control I
for the coming year depended on inter­pretations
awaited from Washington de-
, J partments, and also on the progress of
the whole wheat crop of the United States,
and intimated that if the nation- Wide
wheat crop continued , to develop, favor­ably,
the Grain Corporation might be jus­tified
in relaxing many conditions and re­strictions,
and possibly all owing such
communities as the Salt River ValIey to
handle their wheat crop on a normal com­petitive
basis. , Mr. Barnes also intimates
that it is very probable that the' whole
inter- mountain country can be protected
on a price of $ 2.00 per Dushel minimum,
based at country stations. In his wire he
stated:
" The anxiety of your early wheat pro­ducers
is similar to that in all Southern
States, but it is impossible, until crop
outturn is known and until interpreta­tions
of legislation arc received, ' to say
definitely what. plan can be adopted and
your dealers and producers will have to
work along, day by day, as the situation
develops, until We can clear the whole
plan, which we hope to do in the not dis­tant
future.",
And in concluding his 11elegram states:
"' There are legal phases this year which
were not present last, year, in that com­merCial
operation because last year we
operated on the guarantee of the aIlies as
merchants, and this year we operate on a'
legalIy established guaranteed minimum
price.
" There seems every indication from the
very frank explanation of the intricate
situation given by Mr. Barnes that there
is a strong probability that the farmers
producing wheat in Arizona can figure on
a price on bulk wheat at country stations,
of the early Bart variety, of $ 2.00 per
bushel, which would mean a price of
$ 3.331- 3 per 100 pounds in bulk at ship­ping
stations in Arizona. It is under­stood
that in Phoenix the millers have
been rather uncertain what price to pay,
but have recently been aIlowing $ 3; 151h
per' 100 pounds. Producers are advised to
hold their wheat rather than to sell at this
figure, as it is thought that a price will be
worked out in Arizona just alike, to the
producer and the consumer, W'hich will be
in the vicinity of $ 3.50 per 100 pounds,
which, as a matter of fact, was the price
agreed upon at the conference of wheat
growers and millers November 28, 1917."

PHOENIX HAS
UNIQUE PARADE
It could weIl be said that the monster
' parade in, Phoenix on May 27th in honor
of the 334 men of the Maricopa County'
contingent who left for Camp, Cody that
afternoon, represented the " spirit of de­mocracy,
wonderful in its simpliCity," en­tirely
different from any other' parade
that Phoenix has ever seen. Men, women
and children from all walks of life inter-
, mingled in one great, marching body with
the single purpose of paying grateful
tribute to the men from Maricopa County
who are giving their all to their Nation.
The contingent occupied the grand stand
in front of the Federal building, while
15,000 citizens of Maricopa County
ma, rched past in, review. After passing
the stand the marchers lined both', sides
of the streets, forming a living lane of
cheers and tears through which the boys
thEm marched to'the depot to entrain for
Camp Cody.
The contingent from Yavapai County
joined the Maricopa boys at the Federal
building and marched with them to the
depot, leaving on the same train for Camp
Cody. .
Dozens of banners like the following
were carried by the marching throng:
" We will spread the butter thin and
help the Sammies get Berlin."
" Show the Huns how the sons of Uncle
Sam can fight." '
" We love liberty, down with conquest
and kultur." '
, " If you are a piker, move to a , piker
town. You don't belong in Phoenix."
" Boys; when you. get to the front, make
the Huns know you are from Arizona.'~
" We will keep the home fires burning,
and will welcome your returning:"

PREACH THRIFT­PRACTICE
ECONOMY
SPECIAL APPEAL MADE BY COUNCIL
OF NATIONAL DEFENSE FOR ALL
TO BE SAVING IN DRESS, FOOD
AND MANNER OF LIVING:
\
Stop waste; refrain from unnecessary
expenditures of every kind; be economical
in dress, food and manner of liVing, and
buy Thrift Stamps, Is an appeal made to
all the people of the Nation by the Council
of National Defense. The formal resolu­tion
adopted by the Council is as follows:
" The Council of National Defense . and
the Advisory Commisslun of the Council
believe that a concerted effort for econ­omy
by the people of the Nation will not
only go far toward paying America's ex­pense
in the war, but will also reduce
consumption of raw and manufactured
materials essential to the conduct of the
war. .
" The Council urges all to refrain from
unnecessary expenditures of every kind,
and to bear constantly In mind that only
one thing Is now. of real importance and
that Is the winning of the war.' '
" The Nation's resourcus in man- power,
money, transportation, foodstuffs" raw
materials, and fuel, have already been
subjected to heavy strain, and It Is the
clear duty of every citizen to guard
against increaSing this strain . by a single
wasteful act.
" It is most cred'ltable for every one­man
and woman, boy and girl- to be
economical in dress, food and manner of
living. Every eVidence of helpful self­denial
on the part of all in a time like
this Is most commendable.
" This war is more than a conflict be­tween
armies; It Is a contest In which
every man, woman and child can and
should render real assistance. Thrift and
economy are not only a patriotic privi­lege-
they are a duty.

The Food Administration of Arizona re:
eently completed a survey of the' State
which shows that , they had 6,637,951
pounds of flour in the bands' of the mills
and. dealers. In addition there was wheat
in the . mills sufficient to produce 3,326,000
pounds of flour, making a total of 9,963,951
pounds. Six pounds of wheat flour per
person per month has been permitted,
which will be sufficient to SUpply the
needs of the State untlI the next harvest,
and in addition supply a surplus of 1,450,-
131 pounds of flour. This allowanee fm­mediately
released the equivalent of this
amount in wheat for the allies, which is
sufficient to feed 241,683 fighters in Eu­rope

WHAT ONE TOWN DID
Here is a tip for some energetic Arizona
county:' I
Somewhere in Texas the patriots of a
community resolved upon a plan that is
attracting attention.
Right'in the center of the main street'
they built a small but suffioient room,
fitted it with' ohairs and a table, and
similar conveniences. On the wall back of
the table hangs a printed list of the
" boys a: t the front," the community having
gone to some pains to ascertain the cor­rect
address of each. Ori the table is
writing material;
The invitation is plain anu it made an
instant hit. A bulletin board followed,
and on th · is is posted daily any war news,
particularly anything, from private letters
that is of interest to the townfolk.
That little room is the center of interest
for people in that Texas town. Do you
think the boys from that town are per­mitted
for one minute to think that the
whole community is not bacldng them
with heart- felt interest? Canany of thos~
boys walk away from their distant post­office
disappointed because no one has
written them from homo? There are
times When a bright, sympathetic and
stimulating letter will do almost as much
for a boy ," over there" as a Liberty. Bon< 1.

AL, IEN PROPERTY
. To All County CounCils of Defense:
The Alien Property Custodian is en­deavoring
to locate aJl property in the
United States owned by " enemies" or
" allies of enemies," and requests the aid
of the State Council in locating such
property.
The. term " enemy," as here used, in­cludes
every person now Jiving within,
and every company incorporated within
Germany, Austria- Hungary, and all ter­ritory
occupied by the armed forces oE
the Central powers. Similarly the term
" ally of, enemy" includes every person now
Jiving within, and every company incor­porated
within ' any of the allies. of Ger­many
and Austria- Hungary.' Residence,
and not citizenship, is the determining
factor. Germans, Austro- Hungarians,
Turks, etc., residing in the United States
are. not by reason of their nationality con-
. side red " enemies" or " allies of enemies."
Germans and Austro- Hungarlans held In '
the custody of the War · Department are
included within the term " enemy." Amcr­icans
residing in Germany or Autria · Hun­gary,
or in the territory occupied by their
forces, arc included within · the . term
" enemy"; and Americans in Bulgaria .01'
Turkey, or in territory occupied by their
forces, are included in the term " ally of
enemy."
Enemy- owned property includes all
kinds of property, tangible or intangible,
money, chattels, securitie · s, lands, accounts
receivable, etc., belonging to the enemy.
If the property is held in the name of
ahother- by a dummy or ' in trust- it is
enemy property, provided the beneficial
interests belong to an enemy.
' fhe Council of National Defense, at the
request of the Alien Property Custodian,
asks:
1. That you collect through your
County Councils, . Community CouncilS,
and other agencies, the fullest possible in­formation
concerning. aU enemy- owned
property within your county.
2. That as fast as information, even
though unverified, concerning enemy
property is received, you transmit it to
the State Council of Defense.
3. That you notify the State Council or
Defense if you find no enemy property in
your county.

WAR INDUSTRIES
BOARD
The following statement is authorized
by the Council of National Defense:
This resolution has been passed by thl
War Industries Board:
Whereas, it has come to the notice of
this board, that new industrial corpora­tions
are being organized' indifferent
sections of the United States for the
erection, of Industrial plants which, cannot
be utilized in the prosecution of the war;
and
Whereas plans are being considered by
certain States, counties, cities and towns
for the construction of publio buildings
and other improvements which will not
contribute toward whining the war; and
Whereas the carrying forward of these
activities will involve the, utilization of
labor, materials and capital urgently re­quired
for war purposes: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved by the War Ind~ stries. Board,
that in the public interest all new under­takings
not essential to and not contribut­ing,
either directly Or indirectly, toward
winning the war, which involve the utili­zation
of labor, material and capital re­quired
in the production, supply or dis­tribution
of direct or indirect war needs,
will be discouraged, ' notwithstanding they
may be of local importance and of a
character which should in normal times
meet with every encouragement; be it
further
Resolved, that in fairness to those inter­ested'
therein notice is hereby given that
this board will withhold from such pro~
jects priority assistance, without which
new construction of the character men­tioned
will frequently be found impracti­cable,
and , that' this notice shall be given
wide publicity, that, all parties interested
in, such undertakings may be fully ap­prised
of , the diffIculties and delays to
which they will be subjected and embark
upon them at their peril.

ALIEN PROPERTY
, To All County CounCils of Defense:
The Alien Property Custodian is en­deavoring
to locate all property in the
United States owned by " enemies" or
" allies of enemies," and requests the aid
of the State Council in locating such
property.
The, term " enemy," as here used, in­cludes
every person now living within,
and every company incorporated within
Germany, Austria- Hungary, and all ter­ritory
occupied by the armed forces oE
the Central powers. Similarly the term
" ally of, enemy" includes every person now
living within, and every company incor­porated
within ' any of the allies, of Ger­many
and Austria- Hungary.' Residence,'
and not citizens'hip, is the determining
factor. Germans, Austro- Hungarians,
Turks, etc., residing in the United States
are not by reason of their nationality con­sidered
" enemies" or " allies of enemies."
Germans' and Austro- Hungarians held in
the custody of the War ' Department are
included within the term " enemy." Amer­icans
residing in Germany or Autria- Hun­gary,
or in the territory occupied by, their
forces, are included within , the term
" encmy"; and Americans in Bulgaria , or
Turkcy, or in territory occupied by their
forces, are included in the term " ally of
enemy."
Enemy- owned property includes all
kinds of property, tangible or intangible,
money, chattels, securitie's, lands, accounts
receivable, etc., belonging to the enemy.
If the property is held in the name of
another- by a dummy or in trust- it is
enemy property, provided the beneficial
interests belong to an enemy.
The Council of National Defense, at the
request of the Alien Property Custodian,
asks:
1. ' 1' hat you collect through your
County Councils, ' Community Councils,
and other agencies, the fullest possible in­formation
concerning, all enemy- owned
property within your county.
2. That as fast as information, even
though unverified, concerning enemy
property is received, you transmit it to
the State Council of Defense.
3. That you notify the State Council ot
Defensc if you find no enemy property in
your county.

GOVERNOR', s FLAG
DAY- PROOLAMATION
STATE OF" ARIZONA
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
A PROCLAMATION
On June 14th, one hundred and forty­one
years ago, quietly and with little cere­mony,
there came into existence our na­tional
flag. The makers and the first de­fenders
of that flag would truly be on a
strange planet if they could return to
earth today. One thing, however; they
would recognize- the one thing that has
been held inviolable from the day of the
birth of our Nation' through its struggling
years of growth into the dark hours of its
civil strife and into this, our ' most vital
period: the spirit of the flag', the spirit
that produced the Declaration of Indepen­dence,
the' Constitution, the Gettysburg
speech of Lincoln and President Wilson's
war message to the Congress. In that
spirit a state of war was declared, and in
that spirit we are engaged in the most
righteous. war. of mankind. And pro­claiming
that spirit for the first time, our
flag is flying on foreign soil, , leading
American legions united with the allied
arms in the common cause. In another
, year we hope, we, pray that our flag wiil
have been carried to the enemy's coun­try
as the emblem of victory for the allied
arms. It is the spirit of the flag we wish
to implant in other lands, on other men.
' We want no new dominion for this flag;
we do not wish any people brought under
this flag by force of arms; if they come
to our country, we only want them to
come Willingly, ' eagerly, and ready to ac- .
cept the flag and all. that it stands for.
That is the spirit of our flag today, so
nobly expressed on, many occasions by
our President.
I urge upon the people of Arizona a
fitting and state- wide observance of our
Flag Day, June 14th. The heart of every
American is overflowing with the national
spirit of our flag. Let not try to still the
expression · of that spirit, but rather let .. us,
wherever gathered, lift our voices In ho~ or
of our flag. We can do this in no more
fitting way than by singing the national
anth'em. Everyone must be thrilled In
these days when attending the' motion
picture shows to hear the spantaneous
applause that welcomes the pictures of
current events. I look forward to the day
when that : spirit will fhid an equally spon­taneous
outlet by singing " The Star
Spangled Banner." Let us make a start
on Flag' Day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here­unto
set my hand and caused the Great
Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.
Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 7th
day of June, A. D. 1918.

KEEP YOUR
LIBERTY BOND
All county councils are asked to inau­gurate
a campaign against the trading or
selling of Liberty Bonds. The govern­ment
wants every home to be the posses­sor
of at leal? t one Liberty Bond. The
solicitation of Liberty Bonds in exchange
for other stocks and securities, even when
legitimate investments are offered, should
be discouraged. The inducement usually'
offered is the contention that Liberty'
Bonds draw less than 5 per cent while the
securities offered in exchange draw a
much greater income; While this may
' be true in some cases, the object of th"
government will be defeated unless Bona
purchasers are made to understand that
their Bonds should be held as an invest­ment
and should not be used as a medium
of exchange.

of the most terrible phases of the war.
You can picture the peaceful French

hordes?
Artillery and cavalry swarming ruth­l0ss1y
over the little farms- a wave of
destruction and terror.
In many of the small towns in France
every man able to carry a gun responded
to the national call, lell'fing only the old
men, women and children to carryon the
work at home.
