SCHOOLSASKED
TO ASSIST WAR
STAMP SALES
The school authorities of the coun
try were urged to join in the govern
ment campaign to make thrift a happy
national habit in a telegraim^ent by
Secretary Glass or the treasury < de
partment to the National Educational
Association in convention at Chicago.
Secretary Glass asked that the teach
ing of thrift be made a part of the
school curriculum during 1919.
The telegram reads as follows:
“To the members of the National
Educational Association assembled at
C'hicagb: I wish to extend the sincere
appreciation of the treasury depart
ment for the assistance rendered by
the members of the teaching profes
sion in the Liberty Loan and War
Savings campaigns during the past
year.
“Besides being of immediate value
in meeting the financial needs of
the government these campaigns have
been of permanent value to the coun
try in encouraging habits of wise
spending, intelligent saving and in
vestment. These habits of saving and
patriotism, encouraged and stimulated
by the necessities of the war, will
have a great permanent value to the
country if applied to its development
in time of peace.
“The teachers of the country, by
their daily contact with the children
who are to be its future citizens, can
do much to influence them in teach
ing good citizenship and thrift. It is
therefore my earnest request that the
school authorities throughout the
country incorporate the teaching of
thrift in the school curriculum for
1919.
“CARTER GLASS.’’

BILL INSISTED
AND FOUGHT
WITHTHE BOYS
PHONEIX, Arizona, March 21.—
AViiliam Davidson, plain “Bill” to
’ Arizona old-timers, has arrived in
Phoenix from France. His return was
as unostentatious as his going, which
Mas unheralded. He has been wound
ed—though he is past 50 years old—
and he has been through a battle in
which he says 1,000 men fell of 1200
Mho went over the top.
Bill, who had fought under Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt and John C-.
Greenway, arrived in Bisbee from his
Ajo headquarters ostensibly to take
part in a farewell to Captain, now
Lieutenant Colonel Greenway, who
had abandoned his post of general
manager of the Calumet and Arizona
Copper Company to go to the front in
a regiment of engineers.
The older veteran wanted to go, too,
but his years barred him. However,
on the train between Bisbee and El
Paso Greenway came across Bill, who
explained that he was making a short
trip to , the border. Somewhere be
tween El Paso and Chicago the engi
neer officer again found Bill on the
train and again between Chicago and
New York, where Bill dropped out of
sight temporarily. And then, in some
way as yet unexplained, aboard the
ship which carried Greenway and the
regiment of engineers to France, the
colonel saw a man from the stokehold
vho looked familiar even beneath his
grime and who, when he grinned, un
luestionably was Bill.
None but the colonel and Bill knows
the whole story, but Bill says he went
through the war with the colonel.
They were but a few feet apart when
a shell dropped and sent Bill to the
hospital with a badly torn arm. They
\ were not far apart when the colonel
wts gassed at the head of his men, the
/ plice he sought. Out of one three-day
fiilt the colonel and Bill came back
wih 200 men of the 1200 who started
a$inst the Germans.
When invalided home the colonel
ativpd in New York in time to go to
tb funeral services over the body of
tb man he had followed up San Juan
hi, Theodore 'Roosevelt, and with
JP he was one of the dozen former
rfgh riders who stood at the Saga
njre Hill graveside.
Sill was with the colonel at Hot
Sjrings and Just to encourage his
cjnmander in the continued practice
ojthe baths, took as many as he did.
Hfe even took to golf as a means of
| setting the pace for the Greenway
ex«jclse. When he saw his colonel
saftly in the hands of the army medi
cal staff at Fort Worth^Tex,, Bill
cut alone to Phoenix. Those who
have known him for years calculate
he got here in time to miss the fust
staged at Douglas and Bisbee to wel
come Colonel Greenway home.
Now Bill is on his way to his Ajc
home, where he probably will go back
to mining, the pursuit which enablec
him to raise ?10,000 on short notice
in 1917 so that he might keep close tc
the colonel.

FIRST CLEAN UP THE MESS
British Major’s Attitude on the War
Typical of Most of the Soldiers
“Over There.”
Generalship, I heard a chief of staff
at the front once say. Is three-quarters
a knowledge of the mood, the condi
tion and the character of your men.
For a week I traveled the British
front with a grizzled major of a High
land regiment, who had been in the
game since 1914. We lunched one day
with a mingled group of field and In
telligence officers, a Belgian on liaison
work, and a visiting French captain.
The talk, which was chiefly upon spe
cialties beyond the range of war, made
one fact evident—the world of civilian
ttfe was more interesting than ever
before to these men. They were pas
sionately desirous to get back, to
“clean up the mess” there, to go on
with their broken careers.
“How do you stay so keen on your
Job here,” I asked the major, after
ward, “when you are more weary of
war than they are at home?”
He flushed a little, British fashion.
“Have to clean up this mess, first,” he
answered.
A week later one of the most lova
ble boys I have ever known (he was
killed a week later) stood by his Nleu
port on the American front, talking
to me before a fight.
"I don’LJthink much of the danger,”
he said, “though I don’t forget It. It’s
all part of the game.”—Harper’s Mag
azine.
