A Time for Co-operation

Citizens of Phoenix would make almost any sacrifice necessary secure the coming Tucson, Phoenix & Tidewater railroad and to give it untrammeled right way through the city. This enterprise encountered friendly feel ing. It was regarded intended extension the Fl Paso & Southwestern whose liberal and helpful policy made it welcome in every town Moreover it is intended to be a link a through line which Phoenix many years.
 But at the outset a situation has occurred in which, at first glance it might appear that there is an obstructive element in Phoenix with pur- pose to delay hold up the coming of the road Many thought that when the company asked for right way along Madison street it would be readily granted, but those who thought not aware of the changed conditions that street which have been brought about within the last three years Especially in the western part of the city have changes occurred Extensive and, in the aggregate costly improvements have been made. Scores of homes have been established which would have to be abandoned if the company should cupy right-of-way along Madison street Thus. We see the reasonableness of these objections to the right Away Madison
 Another matter which is being taken into ac- count is the development of the railroad sit uation in Phoenix the need protective devices
  railroad crossings the principal streets will become dangerous. Also, citizens are looking forward to better terminal facilities than we now have and union railroad depot which will be creditable to both the town and the railroads. A railroad zone through town is necessarily dan ger zone The wider the zone. the greater the dan ger One extending from Madison to Buchanan would contain more chances of accidents and would in would one bounded by Jackson and Buchanan
 Rut on the part of all objectors the Madison street right ofway, there is no spirit Of unfrend- Illness to the Tucson, Phoenix & Tidewater. They desire to cooperate with it. Everywhere there seems to be a disposition grant it franchise of the liberal character on Jackson street "hicn has been already dedicated railroad use.
 Santa Fe franchise granted twenty years ago gives that road right -of-way for single track Subsequent permits have been granted for necessary spurs switches. but there is said to be room for two tracks. and so friendly IS everyone to the new enterprise, desirous of CO., operating with it. that believe that in no quar- ter will there any objection granting it the fullest rights on Jackson for it is evident that the company must be left untrammeled in it's opera tions and should not be forced into an arrange ment with any other road by which its movements would be restricted.
 The matter of securing the admission of the road to Phoenix has been taken up in broad spirit by the Board of Trade and the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, and we feel sure that these institutions will be met in an equally broad spirit by the representatives of the Tucson,' Phoe- nix & Tdewater
 There was never a time in the development of Phoenix when friendly cooperation was more needed than this juncture.

A Bisbes Combat

Gentlemen of sporting h-oclivities who attended a meeting of the Warren District Democratic Cluo at Bisbee the other night had g right to stop at the box office their way out and demand a re- turn of their money They had been inveigled into the meeting by the wide-fung announcement that the speakers would be Hon. Reese M. Ling Of thls city and Hon. A. F. Parsons of Douglas Admitting that the presence either of these gentlemen alone was worth the price of admission, doubt 1t was the announcement of the presence of both that filled the house to capacity and left a clamorous crowd in the street bowling for entrance. Ritche and Welsh would have been a stronger card than Ling and Parsons.
 MT Ling represents all that is conservative in democracy and MT. Parsons represents all that is radical and then It might well have been expected as the Bsbee Review says it was, that there would be- in the latest pulpit parlance Of Billy Sunday, hell to pay

THE VISION
(By Amy Pearl cozby)

A youthful pilgrim a desert and Weary and faint, sank down upon the sand; On every hand, mock his burning eyes, A barren reached meet the skies No ripping streams, fields, pleasant wood But maddening sands, where giant cactus stood. Then suddenly, before his wondering eyes, A vision against the desert skies: A vale flower strewn enriched with verdant fields And ropic gardens with their bounteous yields, While rushing, deep and clear every hand, Abundant fed the thirsty land. And he gazed against the turquoise skies A CityBeautful seemed arise: Tall buildings, busy factories smoke crowned, And quiet streets, where happy homes found A prosperous, modern city, crowned with flowers, Famed by breeze sweet as Elysan bowers Whence comes this vision?" cried the eager youth 'Is there such city and such vale in truth? If what favored land doth it complete? What landmarks stand to guide the pilgrims feet?" In dim background, to answer his appeal, mighty giant camel seemed kneel. Today pilgrim bowed with weight of years Gazed City -Beautiful-through tears And sighed T it in dream, in youth; l deemed it madness twas prophetic truth. The same fair scene view twilight steals, l know, for there the giant camel kneels,"
 Man never knows what untold agony suffers exclaimed Mrs Gabb
 'The only untold agony suffers is when she tight shoes be stylish" replied Mir Gabb.

STATEMENT MADE
ON SITUATION BY
GERMAN OFFICIAL

Berlin, Aug. s.--An official state
ment published here today at the be-
ginning Of the war says:
I'm consequence of a Russian at
tack on Germany, Germany Is in a
state of war with Russia.
1.-THE French reply to Germany's
note has been received in the mean
time and is of an unsatisfactory ma
ture. In addition France has ordered
the mobilization OF her army so that
the outbreak of war between Germany
and France must be awaited at any
moment"
Another semi official communication
issued today says:
while no German soldier has yet
set foot on French SOIL official reports
from the frontier state that French
troops in bodies as large as a company
crossed the German frontier at Gottes-
thai, Netzeral, Markrich and Schulcht
pass before there was any declaration
of war.
"A breach of neutrality also has been
committed through the fact that French
military airmen have flown over Bel
CLAN and Dutch territory in great num-
Ders on their way to French terri
tory"

GERMANY'S ACTION
BRINGS ENGLAND TO
THE CRUCIAL POINT

London, Aug. 3.-Vtolation OF neutral
territory by Germany during frontier
raids by German, Russian and French
troops, clashes between Sutposts, bonn
bardment of a Russian port by a Ger
man warship and the seizure of mer-
chant ships by Russia and Germany,
constituted the striking features today
of the war on which virtually the whole
continent of Europe has started.
The position to be taken by the
British empire remained still to he de-
fined, but 1t was feared that Germany's
seizure of Belgian territory would be
deciding factor which would lead
Britons to take the sword in hand, as
under the treaty of London of 1889
Great Britain stands pledged to main
tain Belsium's neutrality.
Evidences were not lacking of the
grave view of the situation taken by
classes in the United Kingdom. Lead
ers Of the opposition parties were call
ed it no council by the cabinet and 1t
was reported that the cancellation of
Field Marshal Kitchener's return to
Egypt was a pdelude to his appoint
ment as minister of war.
Germany Given Warning.
It was asserted in authoritative
quarters than due warning had been
given to Germany yesterday of the in
tention of the British navy to take
action should German soldiers set foot
on Belgian soil. In spite of this ana
the prompt refusal of the Belgian gov
eminent to accept the agreement Of
fered by Germany as the price of the
violation of Belgian neutrality, German
forces penetrated the little buffer state
at two points on their way to the
French frontier.
The German point of view In regard
to the situation thus brought about
was explained at the German embassy
as follows:
The German general STAFF has been
reliably informed that French troops
are assembling in great numbers on
the Belgian frontier, preparatory to
crossing.
The German government therefore
informed the Belgian government that
4 If for strategical reasons German
troops were compelled to traverse Bel
gian territory, this move should not
be considered in any way a warlilSe
measure directed against Belgium but
only as a necessity imposed by French
ipitiative and that II Belgium offers nc
armed resistance TO such a movement
Germany will guarantee the Belgian
government the maintenance of its ter
ritorial integrity and sovereignty and
the fullest compensation for any in
convenience caused by the passage OF
the imperial troops
The German embassy also stated
that 1t was quite certain no questions
would arise in connection with German
troops crossing the Dutch frontier moi
in any way interfere with that ne1.

NADEFOR
NEUTRALITY OF
GREAT BRITAIN
Germany Willing to Agree
Not to Attack France by
Sea if England Keeps
Out.

London, Aug. 3.-Dr. r. Won Kuhl-
mann, counsellor OF the German en-
peal for the neutrality of England in
the European turmoil. 1t said in part:
"The maintenance of British neu-
trality would in no way injure France.
On the contrary, it might be argued
that by remaining neutral, Great Brit
ain could give France as much STRAIT
gle assistance and a good deal more
effective diplomatic help as according
to all reliable information there is no
intention of sending British troops to
the continent and as a few British di-
visions considering the enormous num-
bers engaged could hardly alter the
balance of power.
IAN England can do for France is
to protect her northern coast from in
vasion and prevent the neutral ports of
Belgium and Holland being used for
basis Of armed aggression against
France.
Germany would be disposed to give
an understanding that she would not
attack France by sea in the north or
make any warlike use of the sea coast
of Belgium and Holland If it appeared
that Great Britain would make this
understanding a condition of her neu-
trality for the time being"

PARMA WILL HAVE
new CHEESE PLANT
Cooperative Concern Owned
Exclusively by Farmers
With Diaries.
(staff Correspondencel

Parma, Aug. 3.-Parma will build a
new cheese factory this summer. 1t
will be a cooperative plant that will
be owned exclusively by the farmers
who own dairy COWS. The machinery
for the factory, costing over $1,000, has
been ordered and should arrive here
about the middle Of August.
1t Is not definitely decided yet
whether to use the old creamery here
for the cheese factory. or whether to
build a new factory on the site to be
donated by Mr.. Fouch. This site is In
the east part OF town.
Four hundred milch cows have been
signed up. all of the milk to go to the
cheese factory. This Is sufficient milk
to warrant the establishment here of
a successful cheese factory All of the
farmers who have signed up their cows
expect to increase their herds.
These cows are within an average
radius of eight miles OF Parma.
The farmers here expect to establish
a creamery also, in connection with
their cooperative cheese factory. And
they hope to have the creamery estab-
lished by next winter or spring. This
would insure a splendid market the
year around for every pound of milk
and cream that could be produced in
this section.
The largest and best dairy herd here
is owned by Levi Stephens OF Apple
Valley which Is q few miles west OF
Parma Mr.. Stephens has 40 register
ed Holstein cows, and owns a milking
machine. The general feeling among
the farmers here seems TO be to have
four or five COWS each, which they car
handle with their other farm work.
Officers and Directors
The officers of Parma's cooperative
cheese factory are: President. Lev
Stephens of Apple Valley; secretary
Fred Baxter of Roswell; who with the
following compose the board of direct.
ars: Frank Galley Of Ten Davis
Chas. Borden of Parma, Harvey Hatcl
OF Big Bend. John Beal OF Fargo anC

PEOPLE
ASKED TO REMAIN
CALM IN CRISIS
President Wilson Urges
That There Be No Unnec-
essary Excitement on This
Side of Water.

Washington, Aug 3.-President VIII.
son today appealed to the people of
the United States to remain calm. He
declared the United States owes 1t to
mankind to help the rest of the world
during the present crisis.
The White House authorized this
quotation from the presidents remarks
to the Washington correspondents:
1T is extremely necessary, it is
manifestly necessary in the present
state of affairs on the other side of
the water that you should be extremely
careful not to add in any way to the
excitement. OF course, the European
world is in a highly excited state Of
mind. but the excitement ought not to
spread to the United States. So far as
we are concerned, there is no cause for
excitement. There is great inconve-
nience, for the time being, in the
money market and in our exchanges.
and, temporarily, in the handling of
our crops. but America is absolutely
prepared to meet the financial situa-
ton and to straighten everything out
without material difficulty. The only
thing that can possibly prevent it is
unreasonable apprehension and excite
ment.
Americans Must Act Together.
IF l might make a suggestion to
you, gentlemen, therefore, 1 would urge
you not to give currency to any I'M
verified rumor or to anything that
would tend to create or add to excite
ment I think that you will agree that
we must all at the present moment.
act together as Americans in seeing
that America does not suffer any un-
necessary distress from what is going
on in the world at large. The situa-
ton in Europe is perhaps the gravest
in its possibilities that has arisen in
modern times, but it need not affect
the United States unfavorably In the
| long run.
mot that the United States has
anything to take advantage Of but she
owes It to mankind to remain in such
a condition and in such a state of
mind that she can help the rest of
the world
Il want to have the pride Of feeling
! that America, If nobody else has her
self possession and stands ready with
calmness Of thought and steadiness
of purpose to help the rest of the
world. And we can do it and reap
great permanent glory out of doing 1t,
provided we all cooperate to see that
nobody loses his head. I know from
my conferences with the secretary of
the treasury. who is in very close
touch with the financial situation
throughout the country, that there is
no cause for alarm. There is cause
for getting busy and doing the thing
in the right way, but there Isl no eleL
ment of unsoundness and there is no
cause for alarm. The bankers and BUSH
ness men of the country are cooper
ating with the government with a zeal
intelligence and spirit which make
the outcome secure"
