Clergymen Are Abroad.

Rev. DR.. Charles Wood. pastor of the
church OF the Covenant, together with
Mrs. Wood. left early in July to spend
the summer in Dalmatia, the province
Of Austria Hungary separating Bosnia
and Herzegovina from the Adriatic
sea. Recently there have been reports
of much fighting in the section, and
Washington friends of DIR. and Mrs.
Wood are solicitous as to their well
rare.
1t is supposed that in leaving the
continent DIR. Wood and his wife would
so at once to Italy by sea. and not
attempt to cross the war-ridden con-
tinent in an effort to reach England.
Rev. Howard Hannaford. DR.. Woods
assistant at the Church of the Cove
nant said this afternoon that he re-
Gently had 4 letter from the pastor
dated at Athens. Greece. In this COM
nunication Dr. Wood said he and Mrs.
Wood planned to stay for a short time
II the Grecfan capital city and then
proceed to Constantinople.
Il do not believe that DR.. Wood could
have gotten farther than Constantine
pie said MIR. Hannaford. "in fact,
feel sure that he had not reached Dali
malta when hostilitieS broke out in
europe.
Dispatches from London today note
that Mrs. Alice Wood of Washington
has arrived there safely. Mrs. Wood s
'hristian name is Alice. but DR..
Wood is not included in the list Wash

u. S. REFUGEE SHIP
TO AVOID NORTH SEA
Mining Of Those Waters Leads to In
structions Being Issued on
Subject.

Of1cials Of the United States govern
ment consider the placing Of mines by
both Germany and Great Britain in the
North sea as making that waterway ex-
tremely dangerous for any refugee ship,
and accordingly instructions have been
sent out to those in charge OF shipping
Americans home to avoid passage
through these waters.
The action of England in closing the
North sea to her fishing fleets Is consio-
cred as good proof that she believes
she has made these waters extremely
dangerous to shipping.
No detailed Information has been re-
ceived here regarding the mines used by
either Germany or Great Britain. 1t is
supposed by naval officers here that they
are automatic contact mines.
Under The Hague convention mines
Of this character are supposed to be 30
constructed that they will become harm
moorings.
Types Of Mines in Use.
There are three types Of mines in use:
First, the anchored contact mine.
which is q mine anchored in q definite
locality. usually a channel way. which
ships must pass through to attack. These
mines explode when any vessel strikes
one, and therefore must be accurately
charted in order that innocent ships may
be piloted in and out Of port without
danger Such mines are held at a deptn
Of fifteen or twenty feet from the sur
face Of the water by a certain amount
Of reserve buoyancy. They are charged
with varying amounts of high explosive
depending upon their size. and may con-
tain as much as 800 pounds.
Second, anchored controlled mines.
These mines are generally similar to the
contact mines except that they do not
explode on contact but are exploded by
means of electric wires from fortified
control stations on shore. They are
usually arranged in groups, so that sew
eral are exploded at the same time. since
these mines are exploded only at the
will of the operator on shore, innocen.
vessels can pass over the mine neld
without danger These mines can De
planted long in advance of hostilities;
Third, floating mines. Floating mines

 M.& M. PROGRAM
Number of Important Mat ters Will Be Discussed by Business Men at Monthly Session Tonight at Board of Trade

A most interesting program has been arranged for the regular month- ly meeting of the Merchants and Manufacturers association to be held
 this evening at the Board of Trade, The meeting will be in the nature of a smoker and promises to he ban ner one for enthusiasm and atten- dance
 These monthly meetings of neln- bers of the association were suggest ed at the annual dinner of the asso- citation in February and have proven popular affairs. They are intended to promote acquaintance, harmony and q feeling of mutual interest among the merchants of the city. Subjects of special interest to the members are taken mp by some speaker and then generally discussed by the memberships Much good has been apparent through the eXpres- sions of views and discussions of reas.
 One of the important features to which the association has given con- siderable attention during the past few weeks is the issuance of checks returned to the bearer on account Of ther@ not being sufficient cash in i hank to cover the amount uf the
 check. Much tlHught and time has
 heen devoted by the secretary to this
 matter resulting in the issu9nce to
 members of "information sheets giv i Ing the names of parties and con- cerns who make a practice of this
 method of securing cash. leaving the merchants who cashes the check at
 a complete loss. or to abide the time
 when enough money may be on de- ! posit to cover the amount.
 { The laws of Arizona on this sub
 feet are very meager in their appli- 1 ration and the practice has become
 prevalent to an alarming degree.
 The issuance of mo eood' checks,
 and the legislation proposed for q
 remedy of this condition of affairs is l therefore of especial interest to the Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
 ciation al this time and will be one
 of the principal subjects to be con sidered at tonisht's meeting. II. D. Marshall. cashier of the Phoenix Ma
 tional bank. and F. II. Lyman coun- ty attorney. will handle these ques- tons in an interesting manner
 Charles \. Stauffer and w l.. Pin neY will also discuss matters of in terest to all merchants
