London, Aug 29-The correspond
ent of Reuters Telegram company at
Antwerp sends the following official
statement, which has been issued
there:
"On Thursday the Germans, con-
trary to the laws of war, bombarded
Malines, an open and undefended
town. On Friday morning the town
was partially occupied by German In
fantry, which withdrew towards the
south in the afternoon and the bonn
bardment was renewed, four shells
falling about each quarter of an hour.
"The enemy also bombarded the re-
gion about Heyst, Opendenberg, a
town 15 miles southeast of Antwerp.
an open locality not occupied by the
military.
"The operations had no less an OBJ
jecl than to terorize the civilian peo-
pie.
"The Germans have systematically
bombarded the forts and gaps of Ma
mur for 4S hours. The town itself
suffered little. The enemy has in
vested the northeast portion of the
place and is attacking the forts and
gaps in that region. The Belgian di-
vision retired to the second line of
defense which was bombarded vio-
lently. In turn the Belgian and French
troops made counter attacks. The
Belgian division retired by way of the
Sambre and the Meuse, and the move
ment was accomplished in good order
Our troops have reioined the French
lines.
Reconnaissance made in the neigh
borhood of Antwerp gave favorable re
suits and showed the country unoccu
pied. Our security, therefore, is com
plete."

ment regarding the destruction of the
Belgian town of Louvain by the Ger
mans and the German announcement
that the inhabitants had fired on theil
| troops said:
"The assumption of the German
commander, was that under the cir
cumstances, so wide of probability
that it can only be shown that in the
desire to conceal the facts the frs
idea which occurred to him was siez
ed upon as an excuse for an act with
out parallel in the history of civilized
peoples.

Rome, Aug. 20 (via London) The

that the Russians have invested the
fortress at (name reserved by censor)

that the name omitted is probably

London, Aug 29.-EXhaustion on
the part of the German troops and the
consequent necessity of momentarily
slackening their forward movement is
offered in some quarters today as an
explanation of the absolute silence
which has veiled all the operations IN
northern France since the desperate
struggle on Wednesday, when a
quarter of a million German soldiers
tried to hack their way through the
5 B'itish lines held by less than half
that number.
Just as many other people, how
ever, are convinced that the battle
which Field Marshal Sir John French,
commander in chief of the British
forces on the continent, said on We'd
nesday was impending, is now In
progress and that the commanders are
awaiting a decisive outcome before
permitting anything to become pub
lie.
Since last Wednesday both British
and French troops have had time to
entrench themselves and their artil
Iery has been able to find the ranges
over the zones the Germans must
traverse in the next fighting.
Reports that France has formed 8
new army of 25O,00O to take the of

THE MATTER OF EMPLOYMENT

When one secures employment he expects to hold it only so long as con- ditiOns warrant He takes the hazard incident to the occupation. The build ing may burn down, the business may be destroyed, it may be sold, it may collapse, it may go into the hands of a receiver
 In none of the thousand and one things that might happen has the em ployee any security of position. He takes chances.
 Particularly is this true of an occu patton that requires d license. The
 job ends when the term of the license expires. The fact that the license is renewed from time to time does not change the status of the man and the
 job. He has no security whatever in his employment and he cannot com plain if he loses it.
 Any one of a dozen different things can erd a saloon in Arizona, and any one of these things can end the job of
 the man who depends on the saloon for his employment. He owes no grudge to the people should he lose his job. He cannot complain. Other jobs | await him if he really cares for one. The best thing that can happen to a saloon porter or bartender is to lose ] his job. The world cannot go on for ever being ruined just to supply one
 man with a white apron and another with spittoOns to clean. Sometime the 1 loss Of such jobs is inevitable and the sooner it comes the better for all con- 1 cerned.
 1 It cannot harm any man to take him | out of a job that is constant reflec- ton on his morals, job that ostra- cises him in society, a job that makes i him particeps criminis in every crime
 committed, and point out to him em-
 ployment where he can help to save
 souls instead of damning them. When the self binder appeared and
 was found to be a success, from all parts of our country there arose d hue and cry because it would put thou sands of people out of employment.
 Thousands of laborers had been in
 the habit of beginning harvest in the
 southern states and working north into
 British America in early fall, taking in | the wheat fields on the way
 It has been thirty years since the
 self-binder appeared and it is almost 1 shock the grain that the self binder
 gathers
 l When the Mergenthaler linotype first
Arizona republican., 1914-08-07

appeared there was cOnsternatiOn in every composing room. It was going to
 put all the drunken printers out of a job. It was always ready for work
 Monday morning because it did not get drunk on Sunday
 Then there were thousands of roy ing printers; now there are but few Everything ever proposed for the benefit of the human race has been op- posed by ignorance and self-interest When the law abolishing gambling was enacted in Arizona the gamblers who had lived on the labOrs of others fought the measure because it deprived
 them of their jobs.
 The law remains. the gamblers are gone. None of them died. None of them suffered. It is to be hoped that all have improved their ways. ! Abolish the saloons in Arizona and the ten millions of dollars now spent
 for liquor will be spent for groceries, dry goods, shoes, clothing, hardware, ! furniture and lumber
 This will so much improve all of i these businesses that they will have to
 have more help and furnish better jobs I and surer employment than any saloon can furnish.
 Labor should he united against the i saloon, for the saloon is united against labor It is the worst enemy labor ever had.

The Hayden Trial

Remarkable in many ways was the trial of the Rev. MT H. H. Hayden for the murder of a domestic named Mary Stannard. in the fall of 1879. The trial took place at Hartford, Conn The defendant had been, un- til a short time before the accusation, pastor of the Methodist church in Madison, Conn.,. but at the time of the trial he had changed his religious occupation to that of farmer.
 Miss Stannard, the murdered girl, had been with the family for some time-more as friend than as a domestic-until just before her death, when she went to live with another family. On September 3, 1877, she was found dead at a point called Big Rock. near a deserted highway From her condition it was supposed that knife and stone had been used to despatch her, and also in her body were found ninety grains of ar senic, sixty of which had remained in a solid mass in her stomach Suspicious pointed to MT Hayden as the author of the crime, the presum

GREEN VEGETABLE MATTER
AS FERTILIZER.

II used to be well established
custom among farmers to turn under
green vegetable matter as fertilizer.
The experiment stations that have
worked on this subject, particularly
with cow peas, have found that, leav-
ing out of consideration probable rains
and waste, the best results are secured
from turning under COW peas after they
are fully mature and the leaves and
vines are dead.
In some sections Of the United States,
and in foreign countries, green vege-
table matter is turned under with the
application of rock phosphate. The
phosphate tends to neutralize the acid
ity developed through the decomposl-
ton of the green vegetable matter, and
the action of the vegetable matter on
the phosphate renders the phosphoric
acid available, so that double purpose
is accomplished in this combination;
one is enabled to secure cheap source
of phosphoric acid that will be made
available by the vegetable matter, and
the harmful effect Of the decomposing
vegetable matter is neutralized.
would, therefore, say that under ordi.
nary circumstances it would be advis'
able to apply raw rock phosphate when
a good cover of green vegetable matter
is being turned under, or If one can
wait, in reference with a cropping
system, until the crop to be turned
under is perfectly dry, it would be best
to turn it under after it is completely
mature and dry.-W. R. Dodson, Di
rector, Experiment Stations.
