The officers of the local military
company again passed their examina-
lions. Capt. R. V. Ladd and Lieut..
Wiltshire Griffith returned few days
ago from Fort Caswell, N. c., where
they went to stand further examina-
lions in the work required of them In
the Coast Artillery Corps. They not
only passed the examinations requlr-
ed for this year, but both made high
grades in the course scheduled for
next year, thereby going full year
ahead of all other officers in the State.
This speaks we'll for these officers as
they had to double their work in order
to successfully pass both examina-
tions.. 1t also places Hendersonville

the eyes of the war department at
Washington.

NATIONS OBJECT TO
 U. S. SHIP PURCHASE

WASHINGTON, Aug 31.-Great Britain. France and Russia advised the United States informally that they would look with disfavor on the purchase by this government of Ger. man merchant steamers to relieve conditions growing out of the Euro pean war, and to build up to Ameri- can merchant marine. While not conveyed in any diplomatic cores pondence. their position has been wig orously set forth to the president and Bryan.
 France took the initiative, Ambass- ador Jusserand carrying his object tions to the president in a recent in- terview at the White House All diplomats hold that there is no pre- cedent in international law for the purchase by a neutral nation of any great quantity of ships from belnger- ents.
 The chief objection urged is the transaction would establish a large gold credit in the hands of Germany.

Primary Race Is in Full Swing and Candidates and Their
 Supported Working for Advan-
 tages in Remaining Time.
Cochise County, a Political Gen.
 ter Is Showing Activity at Ap-

The primary race is in full swing Today candidates. supporters. pollti- clans and politically interested, from their grandstand seats watch the candidates pass under the wire in their final lap of the primary race. The white flag has swung its last man into the circle The candidates are swinging out in full stride, their every effort exerted in keeping the lead with which they passed under the wire. or on making up that little distance which their wind, held in re- serve, gives them confidence they can overcome.
 The stadium, the citizens of Arizo- na. are on their feet in the excite ment Each man and woman in the monstrous stand is cheering on his or her favorite. Excitement in the outcome is becoming more and more heated as the candidates draw neck and neck, as they see-saw with each ether. gaining a point here, dropping a pace there. The old gee-gee fever known to the opponents of the race track and the lovers of speed and horse flesh, gains in heat and feryor as places and paces change.
 The primary race is in full swing.
 Nowhere is the fact more evident than in Cochise county. In this county. the home of the greatest pol itcal fervor in the state, where there is always a political scrap and where inc candidates are almost as numer- ous as the voters, this final week will take on an appearance of contin' ued brou. Hurried moves from one to another city will mark chiefly the apparant work of the political seeker after office, Hand shakes will be frequent. And on the streets, in the offices. on the meeting grounds, one topic will enliven all conversation politics, the race, it's outcome, the winners.
 The final lap of the primary race is in full sway. The entries have crossed under the wire for their las circle. their wind reserved, they have taken their final stride for the squirt and the state is watching for the fin al dash under the marker and into victory.
