HELIGOLAND ISLAND
 CRUNbL|NG AWAY
Key to North Sea Should Be Blown Up Is Opinion of
 German Count

BERLIN, March 9.-The importance of Heligoland to Germany in case of war with Great Britain is the subject of a long article by Count Reventlow in the Deutsche Tageszeitung. In spite of the assurances gwen in the reich stag couple of years ago, the island IS Tn grave danger of crumblng away and the government IS asking for a further appropriation of $4OO,OOO for the construction of a protective wall along its southern face. The demand has revived the doubts as to the eXped- lency of the enormous expenditures winch have been lavished on the but tressing and fertilization of this frag- ment of fragile rock The count argues that the island has always had a mega tive value for Germany, since, if Great Britain had possessed it, she would hve been ble to paralyze naval mobiliza- tlon from the harbors along the east coast of the North sea. This, he says, was until recently the only advantage Germany had from its possession as the harbor could become an anchorage for large ships of war. But, he continues:
 T HIS Has DeSH CHdHSeu III lHe last few years by the unforeseen develop ment of mines and submarine boats These two weapons of floating coast de- fense, in conjunction with torpedo craft, make it possible to render unavailable the inside portion of the bay of the North Sea for deep blockade, such as was formerly contemplated.
 Thus German war vessels would be able to pass at will between Films and the Jade and the Weser and the Ems which ''would be necessary if Wilhelm shaven, with its expensive works, were not to be either inaccessible or trans formed into a mouse trap"
 The count concludes that it should prove impossible to fortify Heligoland with sufficient strength to render it i'm pregnable, the only course would be to blow it to pieces and to cut a canal along the coast to keep open the com mumcation between the rivers men tioned above.

RAILROAD OFFICIAL
 VISITING HERE J. c. Mcclure Will Inspect Arizona Eastern Property
 in This District

To look into important matters con corning the Arizona Eastern railway, J. c. Mcclure, engineer of the main tenance of way of that system, arrived here last night.
 While MT. Mcclure had no definite statement to make concerning the ob- iect of his visit, lC is understood that the matter of securing a right of way from the Old Dominion Copper Mining X Smelling company, for the construc- tion of a part of the L.iami line, will be looked into during his visit.
 This matter is now in the hands of the head officials of the Old Dominion and it is probable that an agreement will be reached within a short time. In matters of this kind, there is neeessar- fly more or less red tape encountered and It will probably be few weeks before the right of way is secured. President Charles Sumner Smith will be in this city within short time and may be completed during hIs visit
 According to MT. Mcclure, there have been no new developments in extensive construction planned in this district, including the construction of the Globe Durango line and the Box canyon cutoff. It is probable, how ever, that with the close Ol the Bal finger Plnchot investigation that some nection will be taken regarding the granting of the Box canyon franchise. With this matter disposed of, actual work on the Durango line will follow at once.
 MT. Mcclure will remain in this city today and leave for Tucson Friday according to his present plans.

HOW COMETS TRAVEL

ard three or four which are unexpect-

its orbits alone can we identify a
comet; for 1t always follows its own
beaten track. The nucleus, the coma
and the tail OF every comet are sub
1ect to such wide fiuctuation that it is
hopeless to depend on them for recog-
milton.
Sometimes comet may be wrenched
from it's orbit by some powerful plan

revolve around the planet like q satcl-
lite. Such comets are spoken Of as

no less than thirty comets which it
has pluo}ed from their course. Saturn.
Uranus and Neptune have also en-
gagged In this species of robbery. Com

the inner portion of the solar systeg-,
t its velocity Is such that the yravftatioH

powerful enough to cause any appre-
ciable detection.
Although comets motion may be
very swift as 1t nears the sun. there
are times when 1t seems fairly TO
