states that mines were planted In q
manner contrary TO the established
rules OF international Law, that they
were laid at prohibited places, that they
were not sufficiently fastened and
watched and that the neutrals were not

Attention is further called TO an alleged
discrepancy between these imputed

ceedings Of the Germans on the high

same at the village Of Mallwischken,
where our battalion was staying. Arriv.
ing at the village, we met sergeant OF
the cavalry police, who informed MS
that he had received the news that there
were about $50 Russians left In the viii
Iage OF Smeilen. He asked us 10 join
him and his two cavalry policemen to
capture the Russians. explaining at the
same time that it would be matter OF
life or death. We we're glad to comply
with his wish, for It meant really
good adventure or heroic death. We
secured about in the neighborhood OF
the village and advanced from the left
under cover TO the first farmstead. Here
We noticed Russians, while the sergeant
OF the cavalry police and his two men
rode up from the opposite side toward
the farmstead. We called out to the
Russians TO disarm at once, intimating
that several regiments of infantry and
artillery we're lying in position behind
us, which at the first shot would blow
up the farmstead and not one would
escape alive. A Russian captain who
spoke German thereupon commanded
his troops, Numbering 100. to disarnl.
They did 90 almost Immediately, and
meanwhile more Russians kept on
coming from Other farmsteads. They
all put down their arms upon the order

CITY ENGINEER TO MAKE ESTIMATES ON
 PROPOSED PAVING
Much Discussion Arises Relative to Moving Switch on Main Street-ThiS Also Goes to the City Engineer for Maps

Insuucting City Engineer Zeismer to make a survey and specifications for the paving of Naco road from the city limits to the depot and also for short stretches on Main street. Brew cry avenue. Tombstone canyon and o. K. street occupied the major DOT ton of the time of the council meet ing held last night
 At the conclusion of the meeting Alderman Cunningham sprung sur prise on the city fathers by introduc- ing a motion to have the street rail- way switch on Main street moved from fits present location to a point opposite the depot
 Joe II. Gray. secretary of the War ren District Commercial club, ad- dressed the council He informed them of the probable yardage to be paved on Naco road as we'll as the other districts under consideration His talk was brief but he gave the council a vast amount of information which he gathered for months on the paving subject
 James R. Henderson followed MT. Gray. He made a plea to have all the streets of the city paved as soon as possible He stated that he believed the city would save considerable mon- ey in the maintenance of the streets over the cost of paving as compared with the cost of the upkeep during the past five years.
 At this point Mayor Adams interrup- ted the meeting and cautioned the members of the council that the city treasury was at a very low ebb and also that the cost of paving would have to be taken care of in the new budget to be made up later by the council He said that he was greatly in favor of all kinds of improvements for the city but desired to keep the taxes as low as possible and at the same time give all sections of the city similar benefits for the amount of money expended
 d. J. Bowen was then called on for bis opinion on the paving question. He stated that he was highly in favor of doing the work at the present time because the plant of the bitholitic company is now established here. To ! bring the plant back at some future time would be included in the cost of the paving.
 Alderman Cunningham sprung the surprise of the evening by making a rousing speech advocating the remov al Of the street railway switch from ] the present location on Main street to point near the depot He stated that the present location is very dan gerous to life on account of the mar rowness of the street and that all traffic men are opposed to it.
 A red hot argument followed II ended in instructing the city engineer
 to make a survey of the proposed To
 cation and report same at the next meeting of the council.
 Those present at the meeting were Mayor Adams, Aldermen Angius, Hen .nessey Johnson, Cunningham, Walst
 and Bebeley, City Clerk Butler anC
 acting City Attorney Williams.
