He was alone.

THE SUPERVISORS DELAY.

For the past couple of years the
people of Parker have been petition
ing the board of supervisors of Yuma
county for a suitable jail in which
to confine prisoners. During all OF
this time the town has been more or
less at the mercy Of the hoboe ele-
ment, drunks and petty thieves.
Up to the present time Parker has
been a wide-open town and mecca
for the law-breaker, hoboe and petty
larcenist The county authorities
have completely ignored the fact
that Parker is a unit Of the county
and have allowed anyone who may
desire to break the laws of the
state with impunity.
During the past week one man was
robbed here of over $500, and hoboes
set fire to a valuable refrigerator car
belonging to the Santa Fe railroad;
several drunken tramps paraded the
streets cursing in loud voices, and
committing other unprintable depre-
dations upon the public streets. 1t
is becoming so rotten here that wo-
men fear to venture upon the streets,
not knowing what minute they may
witness unsightly acts by drunken
men or be compelled to listen to
obscene language from the same class
of cattle.
True, we now have a qualified con-
stable, but without a jail the officers
of the law are seriously handicapp-
ed in handling the riff-raff that is
Iassing through this place. 1t is un-
law ul for an officer to confine a
prisoner in a building unprovided
with bed, and therefore the law
''fioater" out of town, and generally
sneaks back in the night and commit
some depreciation in retaliation.
1t is a shame the way the Yuma
supervisors attend to their official du-
ties in this end of the county. During
their campaign for election they made
all sorts of promises to the people
here, but upon assuming office they
Immediately forgot these promises.
When remided of them, the chairman
of the board blames his colleagues for
the boards niggardly treatment of
Parker in not providing a jail build
ing, by asserting that he wants to do
something and the others refuse to
support him in making the necessary
appropriation
However, this set of officers will
not long be in power in this county,
for the north end is a unit, irrespec-
tive of party affiliations, to bury the
present supervisors so deeply that
they will never be able to resurrect
themselves politically. A general
election will be held in the state in
November and new board of super
visors will take office the following
January.

If the German government believed
that France contem plated the in
vasion of Belgium it IS iuconceivable
that, for Germany's own sake. the
war party would not have waited.
1t would have meant Il delay Of only
a few hours in German strategy.
The German government surely
knew that the violation of Belgium
meant the arousing Of 4 world of
indignation and hatred, yet the war
leaders chose to bring it upon their
country.
The conclusion is unavoidable that
the war planners wanted no more
delay. The hour had struck, Bel
gium would stand aside and the
breaking of the treaty would be for
gotten in the crash Of war But
Belgium stood in the door and kept
faith with herself and France.
Gray Books o. White Papers, the
story is the same. When the CEN
turies have oblite-ated the bitter
memories of this war the last thing

ANTWERP.

Antwerp is the great port, the
financial center, the metropolis and
the industrial capital of Belgium. At
present it is the ceat of government
also, because the Beigians have been
compelled to abandon Brussels. Ant
werp means more 20 Belgium than
the half dozen greatest cities of this
country would mean to The United
States. Its bombarJment and de-
struction, after the fashion that
ether towns have been wrecked by
The Germans, would be the last blow
at Belgium.
Most Of the Belgian people, by all
accounts, are today outcasls; home
less, impoverished, stripped of prop
crty, credit, opportunity to restore
their fortunes. 1t is rs if a whole
ration had been brushed OFF the sur
face of the earth. No problem that
the war has thus far developed will
be so intense as This one of restoring
Belgium and giving it a chance to
krit itself together once more into
national structure.
Antwerp, once in German hands,
would be held - the last hour that
German power could i;eep a grip on
