HILL RESIGNS
Ambassador to Germany
to Quit Post.
TO TAKE EFFECT JULY |
His Resignation, For Which no Rea-
son is Given, Caused Great
Surprise in Diplomatic
Circles.

Washington. April l5.--David jayne
Hill has resigned as ambassador OF
the United States to Germany and
the president has accepted his rssigna-
ton.
Neither in Mr.. Hills letter OF resig-
nation nor in the presidents letter OF
acceptance is any reason given for
the ambassadors action.
The president thanks Mr.. Hill for
his services at Berlin and says that he
is glad to know that he will remain
there until July /, when the resigna-
ton goes into effect.
Resignation Great Surprise.
While Ambassador Hills resignation
was great surprise to official Wash
ington and to the diplomatic corps,
1t is argued that the fact that he is to
remain at his post until July i indi-
Gates that there was nothing urgent in
his action.
Belief is geenral that his retirement
is in accord with the custom of past
administrations to appoint new am
bassadors to all important posts.
Changes have been made by Prssi
dent Taft at all such places except to
Great Britain and Germany.
In the case of Great Britain Presi
dent Taft offered the mission to DR.
Eliot, of Harvard university, who de
clined.
Accepting the resignation, the pres
ident wrote under date of April 13:
ut is with great reluctance that
accept yplr resignation and relieve
you of mission which you rave dis
charged in a manner which so highly
appreciate both as to the actual work
of the embassy and as to your rela
ton to the government to which you
are accredited.
Il am glad 1t will be convenient tc
you to retain your post until the Isl
of next July"
Post May Be Too Costly.
1t was learned that while the re-
signation of DIR. Hill had come as a
surprise to the general public, he had
buCu d Stcp IN COulcihpidttOu toi SoAhe
time. 1t also was stated that Ambas
sador Hill probably will retire to pri'
vate life.
Reports of friction between DR.. Hill
and the state department were in cir.
culation, but no confirmation was OBJ
tainable from any source.
One of the chief reasons, 1t is said
which prompted DR.. Hill to relinquish
his position, where the president
would have been willing to allow him
to remain, is that Ambassador Hills
bank account does not warrant him
continuing his residence in Berlin.
Having been a college professor and
not wealthy man seeking diplomatic
honors, he Is comparatively a poor
man and unable to keep up the pace
set by the diplomatic corps OF the
German capital. The salary of the
American ambassador. $17.50o year.
is not sufficient to enable him to main
tain his establishment in keeping with
the splendor of the kaiser's court.

A Aqua Prieta The federals are using
machine guns.
Two long clouds of dust marked the
approach of two federal armies COM
Ing from the west. These were four
miles apart, travelling the main road
from Naco and were then about nine
miles from Aqua Prieta- 1t was be-
lisved the force in advance was the
army from Cananea.
Five hundred rebels under Juan Ca
bral swung in behind the two federal
forces in an effort to get them be-
tween the 800 rebels in Aqua Prieta
and this rear attacking party.
Crowds began to flock to the Ameri-
can custom house to witness what
promised to be a battle many times
the magnitude of that of Thursday.
Americans lined the housetops with
glasses watching the advance of the
two armies.
Troop /, of the First cavalry, sta
toned at San Bernardino, arrived to
strengthen the American troops. All
ambulances were ordered out. All the
business places in Douglas were then
closed.
In a battle which lasted all Thurs
day afternoon and resulted in the cap
ture of Aqua Prieta, the Mexican town
across the border. by the rebels com
manded by Red" Lopez. American
troops crossed the border and stopped
the fight.
This action was taken after three
Americans had been killed and sew
eral wounded in Douglas and the con-
tinued firing was endangering the
lives of Americans on United States
territory. Douglas was under constant
fire three hours.
Following are the American dead
and injured: Robert Harrington, of
Douglas; ]. C. Edwards, of Douglas,
and Albert Edwards, of Roanoke, Va,
who were killed while fighting with
the rebels.
Harrington was a switchman EN-.
ployed in the yards of Douglas and
was on his train at Fourth street. A
bullet struck him in the head and he
tumbled from the car. He was taken
in a wagon to the hospital. where he
died within an hour.
A. r. Dickson. half owner of the
Washington mine, was shot through
the thigh. The bone is broken and the
wound may prove fatal.
Genevieve Cole, sixteen years old,
daugter of A w. Cole, formerly al
derman in the Douglas city council
and prominent as clerk of the Arizona
constitutional convineitn, was sitting
in her fathers home when federal
bullet passed through her arm.

VIII Be Held Responsible For Injurirg
Americans This Side of Border.

Americans This Side of Border.
Washington, April 15.-The killing
OF two Americans and the wounding
Of eleven others near Douglas, Ariz.,
by wild bullets from Mexican rifles
brought quick action from this govern
ment.
The state department, under the d.
rection of the president, served notice
on the Mexican government that the
United States would hold it account
able for injury inflicted upon Ameri
can life and property on this side OF
tn border by the firing of Mexican
federal troops.
At the same time a similar official
warning was served upon the leaders
OF the revolution. This action by the
American government is by all odds
the most forceful taken since the or
dering of the 10000 troops to the Mex
lean border. No attempt is made to
conceal the seriousness of the situa-
ton along the border. which is de-
scribed In an official White House
statement as acute"

HOT WEATHER DISHES.

Fruit drinks, salads and meat sub
stitutes are dishes We are looking for
during the hot days of summer.
There is no drink which quite takes
the place of the old fashioned lemon
ade, and none next to pure cold water
which quenches the thirst so effectu-
ally. A very nice drink may be pre-
pared from a lemon and two oranges
for a quart Of water Bruise a bunch
Of mint. and let 1t diffuse In the juice
for an hour Or two, then remove and
add the water; sugar to taste and
sprig of mint and slice of lemon and
orange to each glass.
A delicious dessert Is one In which
musk melons, cut in halves and seeds
removed, are placed on paper doilies
ON a small plate. Fill these fruit
cups with ice cream and garnish with
few pieces Of canton ginger to SIM
ulate seeds. This Is a truly delightful
dessert
Another equally delicious dessert.
though not as beautiful in appearance.
Is grape juice parfait.
Boil third OF cup OF grape juice
and three-fourths of a cup OF sugar
until 1t hairs when dropped from
spoon. Pour in a fine stream upon
the whites Of two eggs beaten stiff.
To one and a fourth cupfuls of double
cream add half cup of grape juice
and the juice of lemon; beat until
firm Fold the two mixtures together
and mold. Cover securely and pack
In equal measures of salt and ice.
When unmoded sprinkle with chopped
pistachio nuts.
When serving watermelon. cut the
melon crosswise and use large spoon
to cut out cones of the melon, remov-
ing the seeds before serving. A grape
leaf may be used for a dolly On each
plate.
The simple French dressing is 80
easily made and so much more pala-
table and nutritious than the boiled
dressings. 1t should be oftener on our
tables
The great reason that SO many peo-
pie object to olive oil is no doubt be-
cause they have been served with an
inferior OIL There Is no economy in
purchasing a poor oil for the table.
Olive oil should have a sweet, nutty
flavor and odor, and a slightly green
ish color.

Sometimes you hear people say: 1T
costs more to own home than it does
TO pay rent This is not true. but
even II IT were true. the arguments
still would be on the side OF owning
your own home, both for your own and
for your childrens sake.
Anyone who is paying rent right
along can easily save for himself the
landlords profit and own his own
home. We all know of many landlords
who are not only making a good liv-
ing, but are growing wealthy by Dor
rowing money, building houses with It
and renting them to people who, if
they realized 1t, could with a little ef-
fort just as we'll build or buy the
home for themselves.
Home builders are considered the
very best kind of security, and the
real estate man and property owners
are eager to do business, with them,

The early rising habit has helped

A dainty table is a necessity. and

kept with a little care. If the table
is slightly use doilies instead OF
