A DELIGHTFUL PICNIC

Upon the lawn, under the beautiful cottonwood trees at her home near the bridge on Eighth street, Mrs. w. k. Stevens and the students of the Jordan school enjoyed a picnic with a few of their relatives and friends Sat nrday, the occasion being the cose of school which Mrs. Stevens has most successfully taught this year.
 While there had been no program prepared by the teacher and pupils for this occasion, yet we were treated to a great surprise bv an impromptu exercise of speechmaking and singing of patriotic and other appropriate songs One thing in these exercises was very evident, viz: The untiring and unfaltering efforts of the teacher in training of these students during the days of the past year It is out of schools like this, and under teachers like Mrs. Stevens where foundations are laid for the building of the wOrld's greatest characters.
 It was evidenced in the boys and girls that the deep principles of nor al living have been urged along with their intellectual development
 When the day was over, we all felt that Mrs. Stevens is a success as teacher, and that her faithful efforts shall be rewarded Mrs Stevens will not teach next year, but she has left matters at the Jordan school in a

 In support of the theory that the machine is still at Pike's ranch, Depu- y U. S. Marshal Johnson has heard 1othing to the contrary from his guard.
 If anything had happened to the nan on guard" he said, there are nevertheless F to 20 men employed 1t the ranch, any one of whom could have telephoned to Tucson from a ranch only 17 miles distant"

 It is urged, as against this theory, that ammunition filibusters are in the habit of catching their loads near Tu- bac, and the automobiles seen may have been. sent out from the border to haul the ammunition across into Mexico
 The first advices received in Tue son stated that an aeroplane crossed the line Sunday In the same mes sage was report that 225.OO0 rounds of ammunition also got across the line at, or somewhere near, Nogales.
 Almost immediately afterward message was received from Nogales that the aeroplane was that which was seized by the United States au- thorities after having been surrepti- tiously removed from Tucson at the time Aviator Didier Mason and his mechanician Dean were here, ana WHICH HdS SllCc OCCA nClO uAOCA SuSAA - at Pike's ranch.
 In thes early afternoon this mes sage was corroborated by another. reiterating that the aeroplane was the one from Pike's ranch. It stated that a party of Americans with auto mobiles met at Tubac Thursday night, went to Pike's ranch and se- cured the machine; that they crossed the line into Mexico Sunday with it between Naco and Nogales. and that a train, sent out by previous appoint ment, met the party and took the aer- oplane on board. The train, bearing the war plane, left Nogales, Sonora, for the seat of war Monday morning.

CLOSING OF JORDAN SCHOOL

Mrs Warren Stevens, teacher of the Jordan schools for the past three years, closed a most successful year of school last Friday, followed by a rpicnic Saturday. A large gathering, composed of pupils, patrons and their friends, assembled at Mrs. Stevens home, and in the beautiful grove back of the house spent one of the most enjoyable days that it is possible to spend.
 After a sumptuous picnic dinner the crowd was entertained by a splendid 1 program composed of songs, recita ! tions and readings, the entire program l being given by the pupils, having been trained by their teacher. Mrs Stevens, without a doubt, is one of Yuma county's best and most successful teachers. She is more than a schoolroOm teacher; throughout the 1 entire program given by the children the listener could not but be impress 1 ed with the influence the teacher had left upon her pupils, by her per sonality, her high standard of nor ality and her nobleness of character
 One of the patrons expressed the
 highest tribute that can be given any teacher when she said:
 My children have gone to schoo
 with her for three years, and they
 love her" J. G. B.

history of wars. Some writers, or both sides of the question, contend that Chickamauga was the most dead ly battle of any war. However, 1 am not well enough posted in percentage of loss in the great battles of history to pass an opinion on this controversy My purpose is only to say something about the battlefields of Chickamaug2 and Missionary Ridge as they appear today. Fifty years have worked won ders on these fields. The battle lines have all been marked, bronze, mar ble and granite monuments have been erected, and 110 miles of model auto mobile roads built through the historic fields, by the government. Something like 2,000 memorials have been erected by the national government in honor of the splendid heroism and lofty devo- ton of the men of both armies. A visit to these battlefields will certainly be enjoyed by survivors of the armies which fought on them fifty years ago and by their descendants.
 Fifty years ago Chattanooga was a mere village Between 1863 and 1913 it has become a thriving industrial city of 100000 population, according to directory census taken in January of the present year We have strong banks, vast manufacturing interests and prosperous mercantile businesses The manufacturing plants of Chatta- nOoga number about 300, employing

CHATTANOOGA,S PLANS
 DESCRIBED BY PATTON
]. A. PATTEN, LEADING CITIZEN OF CHATTANOOGA, DESCRIBES THE PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR ENTERTAlN-
 ING CONFEDERATE
 VETERANS

Special to the Yuma Daily EXaminer)
 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 20 A number of my personal friends in your section have requested me to say something about the Confederate reunion that will be held here May 27-29. Mir. P J Kruesi, chairman Of the Chattanooga Reunion Association, has also joined in these requests.
 Chattanooga has made, and is mak- ing, elaborate preparations for the en. tertainment of the reunion. Our peo- pie entered into the work with mucn enthusiasm, three months ago, and the plans are so far perfected that there is no longer any question about Chat tanooga being ready to entertain the large crowd that attends these annual reunions Twelve hundred of our busi. est professional and business men are giving their time to the work of the various committees.
 Camp A P Stewart, where the veteran guests of the city are to be entertained, is completed with the eX- ception of those accessories that will not be needed until the guests arrive. The tents have been erected-1 900 in all-and cots have been received to accommodate 14000 veterans. The reception and erection of the tents thus early guarantees a comfortable and commodius camp, the best, per haps. that has ever been prepared by a reunion city. The location of the camp is at Jackson Park within the city. limits. It is reached by two car lines, and one steam railroad line. The Queen & Crescent railroad, own ing the latter, has agreed to run free trains from the camp to the city on the day of the veterans parade to ac- commodate all veterans who might not be carried in comfort by the trol- ley lines. Such precautions are being taken to obviate any trouble in nov ing the aged veterans that might other wise occur.
 l have kept pretty close track of the plans and arrangements for this reunion, and am assured that all vet erans and visitors will be satisfactorily cared for during the reunion. A great deal of time, labor and money have been spent in perfecting the arrange ments. If there is a weak spot any where in the organization that Chair man w. E. Brock, of the general ex- ecutive, has perfected, l have not heard of it.
 In those associations that make a reunion of veterans of the Confederate army enjoyable, no Southern city eX- cels Chattanooga. Fifty years ago next fall, two of the greatest battles of the Civil War were fought here These were Chickamauga and Mission ary. Ridge. The former was one of the most sangUinary conflicts in the

So far as the personality of Mrs. Pank-
hurst is concerned. many preconceived
notions of her were upset by her ap-
peaTance and her general attitude as she
was taken to Ellis Island and appeared
before the inquiry board.
There was no suggestion of the hardy
woman who could face self-starvation to
gain freedom. The immigration inspec-
tors. watching her as she sat in the
well L. the boardroom, saw IL delicate,
pale woman of motherly appearance.
Her voice as she responded to the formal
questions was that of Il woman of good
breeding. Tonight. weary after her ex-
perience of the day, she retired early, to
all appearances composed for a good

outcome.

LONDON, October 1s.-The invitation
to Germany to indulge in a naval hoi-
dayF was repeated to day by Winston
Spencer Churchill. first lord of the Brit
iSh admiralty. who in the name of the
British government made a spec fic offer
to delay the fulfillment OF Great Britain 5
naval construction program next year if
Germany would consent to do the same
|. The first lord was addressing a great
liberal meeting at Manchester, when in
the middle OF lamentations over the Sc
r!ous misdirection of human energies
involved in the enormous expenditure on
ornaments, he remarked that the only
way for effecting retrenchment was
along the lines OF an international agree
ment.
He added:
The proposal / put forward in the
name of the British government for a
naval holiday is quite simple. Next
year, apart from the Canadian ships or
their equivalent. and apart from any
thing that may be required by any de-
ve.opment in the Mediterrean, We shall
lay down four great ships to Germany $
two. Now We say to Germany: If you

ships for twelve months, We will put of
