Voters to Receive a
 Large Publicity Pamphlet

Phoenix, Arizona, August 12, So the people may know, " Secretary of State Osborn is marshalling a small army of clerks for the purpose of mailing to every registered voter in the state. a no page publicity pam phlet containing the initiated and referred laws which will be submitted Nov. 8 and the ar guments for and against them.
 Interest, of course. is greatest concerning the prohibition a. mendment, but others provide interesting reading. Among these is the '8O per cent Citizen ship law" which it is argued, would throw thousands of men now working in the state, out of employment. There IS little doubt that it will. if passed, ser iously effect future industrial conditions in the state as every industry will suffer. It provides that 80 per cent of all persons employed by any individual or corporation. must be qualified electors or native born citizens.
 Another radical measure, the Anti Blacklist law" provides penalty of a year's imprisonment, any employer for asking an applicant concerning his or her past employment. The most novel measure probably, is the New Zealand Taxation Law" under which every taxpayer would be his or her own assessor and the state has the right to purchase any property at it's as- sessed valuation, thus doing away with our present revenue system.
 As frequently initiated laws are improperly drawn, there will be considerable opposition to the proposed amendment which de- prives the legislature of the right to amend a law passed b, the people.

Brief Resume of the
 Latest War Developments

Developments Tn the war zone, which appear chiefly confined to Belgian territory are made vague owing to the strict censorship over news relating to military movements.
 Direct communication by wire less was established between Germany and United States to- day. The first information re- ceived by this new route indicat- ed French reYerses by the Ger mans at Muelhausen.
 Positions occupied by the main French, Belgian and British forces, however. are not permit ted to be disclosed even approx imately so that their plan of campaign cannot be assumed.
 As to the German forces, in- dications from various sources point to'the concentration of the main body with it right wing in Belgium and it's left wing in the Duchy of Luxemburg. The German staff is to have gather ed 26 army corps along the east ern fontier facing Belgium and France. Many of these troops probably are stationed in the great fortresses Tn Alsace and Lorraine, and along the Rhine. One dispatch asserts the defense of Germany's Russian frontier has been left to armies made up of reserves. Although all of these are framed soldiers, it would seem natural to leave as a nucleus for their organization a a considerable force from the active army.
 The disposition and strength of the French invaders in AL sace. of which they are said to hold a long line within the Ger man border. are kept rigidly secret.
 On the sea, the reported safe arrival in the Dardenelles of the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau, has led to rumors of their probable dismantIing until the end of the war.
 In the North Sea. which the British government says may be be strewn with mines, the main of British battleships are still out, but their position is not publicly known. Neither is the location of the main Ger man fleet.
 Reports from Dover, at the eastern entrance to the English channel. say heavy cannonading lasting an hour washeard Thurs day morning coming from the direction of the North sea.
 Belgian reports assert that a strongssforce of German cavalry, supported by infantry and artil- lery, after severe fighting around was thrown back to- ward Liege by a division of Bel gian cavalry with infantry and The German killed and are said to have num- bered three-fiftns of the 5000 men engaged. while those of the are reported relatively fight"
 Swiss reports assert that the German battle before to have been so se- 7ere that the neighboring hos oltal accommodations proved ab- inadequate.
