NJ. Hanotaux is known as a brilliant

statesman and author Of high reputation"
and. since 1897. an academiclan. In Eng
land he is chiefly known as a minister OF
foreign affairs who smoothed the path OF
diplomacy during the troubled period OF the
wars OF Greece and between Spain and the
United States He also took an active part
in settling questions as to delimitation OF

academy. He has most amply proved his
literary competence for such work as this

he tells US that he proposes 10 narrate the
history OF contemporary France from Feb

he sets forth. He and his generation were
barely emerging from childhood At the time
Of the war Of 1870. They saw everything.

spectacle"

there were traces Of hidden agitation. From

OF France in the past? What were the
causes Of her defeat? What would be the

tain peaceful conditions among nations?
At the present time nearly every
nation is sitting over dynamite. and the
friction is such that there is likely to
be an explosion somewhere at any moment,
with the most serious consequences TO life
and property. The great nations are spend
ing hundreds OF millions OF dollars and en-
ploying hundreds OF thousands OF soldiers
IN preparations for war. Vast armies are
being organized. trained. and equipped to
kin and destroy. The seas are being COW
cred with Dreadnoughts and other instru-
ments Of destruction.
The nations have been run into debt over
$4,000 geo 600 the greater portion Of which
has been FOR war and in preparations for
war The annual war expenses Of the
nations have been run up to the enormous
sum Of over Sc, 900 900 600 in times Of peace.
Some Of the richest and most powerful
nations are burdened with war taxes al
most beyond endurance. The land is COW
cred with soldiers. forts. and arsenals.
while the seas are covered with battIeships.
The nations are prepared on a magnificent
scale for war at a moments notice.
Premier Asquith Of England Is reported
10 have said in a speech not many months
ago that the youngest child now living will
not see the day when disarmament Will
take place; also. that the nations are
spending 5000 600 600 to $3.50. 900 900 an
nually in building war vessels, and that all
this expense IS not for naught. The high
est authorities are proclaiming from the
hOusetops that the best way TO maintain
peace is 10 be prepared for war
Surely the necessity for an immediate and
effective remedy FOR war was never more
imperative than now. Are the great states
men Of the world not competent to deal
with this momentous question? For four
thousand years they have been dealing
with the subject CT war in some form or
other, and yet the preparations for war
were never OF such magnitude as now.
Can It be possible that the rulers and states

will permit the present conditions to con-

THE ORIENTAL MASONIC
 ORDER IS ORGANIZED
OFFICERS ARE ELECTED FOR
 ENSUING YEAR.
Anticipated That Charter Can Be
 Obtained Within Three Months.

A number of local members of ma- sonic orders throughout the United States met Tuesday evening according 10 previous announcement and orga- nized the Oriental lodge. The num- Der is not yet known, as this will be determined at the time the charter is granted.
 The organization was effected last night with the election of the folIow- ing officers:
 J. D. LOper. worshipful master.
 J. l.. Waring. senior warden
 Dr. J. E. Drane. junior warden.
 c. l.. Diehl, secretary.
 F. P. Drew, treasurer.
 The K. F. hall has been secured as a meeting place and every second and fourth Friday night of each month will be utilized.
 There are probably twenty members who are very much interested in the organization of the lodge and they will of course proceed to get their transfer from the lodges in which they now hold their membership. It is essential that the officers learn the work before they will be able to ask for charter or before they can be recommended for a charter. Tempe being the nearest lodge, must give this recommend Messrs. Jones and Frankenburg were present Tuesday evening from the Tempe lodge and will assist in the work of teaching the members of the local organization, which is appreciated very much by the flew lodge.

The
 General Dem and

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because it's con- ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- eellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senpa is given the preference by the We'll Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

CYANIDE 0F POTASSIUM

Horribly crippled with rheumatism, suffering untold agony with the ex- cruciating pains resulting from an incurable disease, in a strange coun- try, without friends, and with twenty six cents as all his earthly possess sions, James Foster, man between fifty and sixty years of age decided to end his earthly career by the poison route which resulted success fully some time Tuesday night.
 Yesterday morning Foster was found in the adobe room in the rear of the lot on which the Crismon brick house is located and which is rented by Mrs. Lamb, cold in death and with a peaceful smile playing on his face as though death had come as the greatest allay of pain that he had experienced in years. He had rented the room the day before and had told Mrs. Lamb that he would go to Phoenix today. He went to his room and laid down on his own blankets rather than lie on the bed. He re- moved none of his clothing. On his person was found a package of cya- hide of potassium, a deadly poison, which had been purchased at Holla- days pharmacy, and in the fireplace nearby was found glass, where it had been tossed into the ashes and in this was found the deadly poison. The only irregular feature about the man other than that he was in quiet sleep was that there were slight indications of frothing at the mouth. A comparison was made between the matter on the lips and that In the glass and the two with the cyanide of potassium and the secret of sui eide was solved
 A jury was summoned consisting of |. " Guthrie, foreman: w. Aird Macdonald, J. ", LeSueur, John Cole man, John Martins Rial Norr'~ and C. Fred Bracket, with Justice Irwin as coroner ex-officio. The jury went over the case thoroughly in the morn ing pr. Drane was called in, made a test of the--supposed poison in the glass and pronounced it poison. The jury met again at 11:30 in Dr. Drane's office and quickly came to verdict which was that as announced above.
 Foster has been seen about town for a week past and was last seen about sundowh Tuesday evening. From letters found in his possession it appears that he at times became very Respondent It is understood that he is acduainted with Mir. Sim mons, who came here year ago from Montana.
