CATHOLIC PRIEST
 TESTS DRY LAW
Arizona Will Witness Legal Battle Waged By Church To Test
 Prohibition Law.

' PHOENIX. Ariz., Dec 16.-Follow. ing the protest made by Bishop Henry Granjon, of this state, against the prohibition law recently passed by the people of Arizona, claiming that it interefered with the communion of the church at which wines are used, an action was started today by Catholic priest to enjoin the enforce ment of the law which Governor Hunt has proclaimed in force on January 1, 1915.
 The legal battle will be followed with keen interest. The prohibition ists have offered the services of sev- eral of the big eastern attorneys to aid the state in making the fight for the enforcement of the law, while the Catholic church will be represented by several large firms of lawyers and the brewery interests will intervene and will send attorneys from Chica- go and New York to test the law The legal battle may take several years. An injunction will be asked to prevent the enforcement of the law.

Bankers Say Conditions Are lmprov- ing RapidIy-Business Soon

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-The bankers from all parts of the country report improved financial conditions in all parts of the United States. The heavy sales of food stuffs has aided the farmers, the shipments by rail of wheat in order to insure prompt delivery has aided the rail- roads, the purchase of horses and cattle for use of the armies in Eu- rope helped the ranchers, the plac- ing of orders for large amounts of war supplies has helped the manu- featuring plants and caused the re- turn to work of thousands of men and women and in many ways the improvement has aided other branch es of trade not connected with the sale to the belligerents of supplies.
 While the conditions are not nor nal they have improved so much dur ing the past month that return of great prosperity is predicted by the bankers.

BRITAIN PAYS GRAIN MERCHANTS For Seizures Made of Grain Ship ments for German Merchants
 Prices Were High.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-The grain car goes confiscated by the British gov ernment since the outbreak of the war and which belonged to American owners have all been sold and the money has been turned over to the American ambassador for the owners of the grain. In many cases the own CTS were considerable gainer by req son of the seizure of the grain con- signed to German merchants at the outbreak of the war when grain was sold for much lower prices than since last August.
 The additional price is more than enough to pay the owners for the loss of time and interest.
 All grain shipments destined for German merchants were diverted by the British warships to British ports the grain sold but the proceeds given to the shippers if they were from neu- tral countries and confiscated if Ger man owned The shippers were con- pelled to appear in the prize court and prove ownership and nationality.

BRITISH ASK FOR
 AMERICAN A|D For British Owned Mexican Oil Wells, Which Are Threatened
 By the Mexicans.

LONDON, Dec 16.-In consequence of information indicating peril to British oil establishments, the gov. ernment has asked Washington to protect British interests in the vicin. ity of Tampico. It is expected that Washington will readily acquiesce in this.
 In the midst of greater troubles, officials here find little time to wor. ry about Mexico, which only short time ago attracted universal atten tion, but at the same time there is considerable apprehension. Under other circumstances 1t is probable that England would be asking Wash ington to take some action, but al present there is no indication that this government will go furher un less there is some very untoward de velopment which gravely threatens British interests than to ask America for protection.
 The prime reason for this undoubt edly is that England has no desire to run the slightest risk of upset ting friendly American relations which now exist and which she SC greatly appreciates.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-The German fleet shelled and set on fire the city of Scarborough, on the North Sea coast of England, and the city of Hartlepool ten miles north of Scar borough. The bombardment took place this morning, big fleet of Ger man ships appearing off the two cities at daybreak. The British coast patrol boats did not see the warships un- til they were off the city and had started to open fire. How the Ger man fleet could avoid the mine fields laid by the admiralty is unknown and it is believed that they had secured maps showing the exact location of the anchored mines. Considerable damage was done to both ports and the other nearby coast cities are ex- pecting similar treatment.
 Naval Battle Expected.
 The British fleet of ships stationed in the Hull have started for the scene and will try to prevent the Germans reaching Kiel. A fleet is also rac- ing south from Edinburgh to engage the enemy and a battle royal is cer- tain. The attack was as sudden as unexpected. The loss of life has been heavy, as few of the inhabitants had an opportunity to seek shelter out of range of the German guns.
