 but that shade trees will grow, as the land is among the most fertile in the valley. The present Gilbert station is the nearest one to the mining district in the eastern end of the county, and in consequence the side tracks at Gilbert are always filled with cars being either loaded

 Shortly for Summer Travel

James S. Griffin is one of Phoe- rix's original stay home" boos- ters. He is also good roads en- thusiast, trying to combine the two, believing that good roads in Arizona is an important factor so that mot orists may travel freely from warm to cool places in the summer season. Last week while MT Griffin was in Prescott he spent some time upon
 the road situation between Prescott and Iron Springs. inasmuch as every
 indication shows that the Iron
 Springs colony will be larger than
 ever this summer. The road from
 Iron Springs to Prescott is of con
 siderable concern.
 Mir Griffin took this matter up
 with the Yavapai county board of readily saw the advantage of good
 motor road between the Phoenix col
 ony at Iron Springs and their town The following letter was received yesterday from MT. Griffin which indicates that the Phoenix people
 should take their machines to Iron Springs this summer:

woman as an adOrnment of our lives we ourselves have spoiled her and complain.
 The play Jealousy is sort of public trial of woman, and when at the end the crazy husband of the woman who flirted but loved him best strangles her, it is a sort of verdict and execution in one. Such a play needs on the stage many women and various kinds of men who need from women the things that woman can give-faith, love- children. For setting or for evidence it needs the world. The
 powers of life and death must stalk across the stage. The stakes for which men bid must be there also.

FRENCH DELERlOUS.
Reports of Successive Victories Oyer
 Germans Sends Paris Wild.

Paris, Aus. S.-France has at last drawn German blood in battle-yic- torious battle-it is reported here, and this city is wild with joy.
 Three battle fields, all yielding victory over the Germans, are send ing in reports.
 In the Belgian province of Luxem- burg, the French army has decisive ly defeated a German army corps of 10000 men, routing them and cap- turing them and capturing many prisoners.
 In Alsace- Lorraine, fOrcibly taken from France by Germany in the war of 1870, the French have invaded Ger man territory and have captured the town of Altkirch and the highly fortified city of Muelhausen.
 And finally, at Liege, in Belgium, where 12OOOO of the kaiser's best troops have for four days been fight ing wildly to force a passage into France, the little Belgian force has again gained such a decisive victory that the German troops have aban- doned the attempt to capture the city.
 Tonight in Paris there are process sions, music, flags, shouting, singing speeches and all the delirium of a volatile people over so much good news

S.--The Central News agency announces that Austria is sending two army corps (about S0,OOO men) to the assistance of the Ger man army on the frontier of Belgium and France These troops, the dis ptch says, were not withdrawn from the Servian campaign but were rals- ed in the central provinces.
 No hint has yet been given as to the position of the bulk of the twen- ty-four German army corps or of the twenty-one French army corps. It IS known that several of the German corps are near the Russian frontier The organization of other corps from the immense body of reserves must have occurred since the mobilization Thesss have probably taken the places in interior fortified cities oi the soldiers of the active army WhG are, it is assumed, now preparing to make their first dash at the enemy It is pointed out by military men that any decisive offensive movement by the German or French army will ln- volve sevral hundreds of thousands of men on each side whose contact will throw into the shadow the fight at Liege

The committee in charge of the Labor Day celebration will hold meeting at Labor temple this alter' noon at 2:3O o'clock, at which time if is expected the final arrangements for the various entertainments VII be completed The finance committee is receiving daily cheeks for the amounts subscribed by the varlous firms and present indications are tha' the Labor Day celebration held Ill Pine Bluff will surpass anything ol the kind in the state.
 Word has been received from Little Rock, McGehee and Paragould tha' representatives from these cities VIII he here in large numbers to take part in the celebration. The com mittee has received letter from the Little Rock local of the Painters union, stating that they will attend in body.
 The parade, which will be one or the big features of the celebration, will have many floats representlng the various crafts and fraternai orders. The Fraternal Order of Eagles and Mezpath Tent of the Mac cabees of the. World have signlfled their intention of entering floats ln the parade. Cotton Belt lodge No. 15l has received the miniature locomotive that was built by the men i1 the Iron Mountain shops in Argenta, and is at preset being brimished and touched up preparatory to entering the Darade as exhibit.
 The committee in charge of the parade urges merchants, firms and fraternal orders to enter floats ill the parade.

While MT. Audre Rupert, who will conduct the aeroplane fights, has made no ar engagements to carry passengers while here, word has been received that II weather conditions are favorable, ne may consent to take up passengers during his exhibition, but that he would have to be on the grounds be- fore he could definitely concede to the arrangement.
 The ability of Mir. Rupert is well attested by the fact that at one time he was connected with the lnterna tional aviators, who, were conceded as the best of the aviation world. Al that time Roland Garros, the famous Frenchman who lost his life a few days ago when he battled with the German balloon in the European war was also member of the laterna- tional aviators, and had given man! exhibitions in this country.

London Paper Says "Stern Work to Re Bone, Before Wilson's Offer

London. Aug. S.-The Times today editorially expresses the profound satisfaction of the British people at he evidence which the paper says it finds that the cause for which they arefighting has the sympathy of their American kinsmen.
 The Times adds that the American people are now "beginning to ap- preciate that the rise of Germany to the power and influence hitherto en- joyed by Great Britain would be de- velopment inimical to American inter- ests and a menace to the freedom of the United States as a world power.
 Referring to President Wilson's offer of mediation, the Times says that there is much stern work to be done before any government is likely to avail itself of his proffered service.

 According to story told by Dutch men who returned from Antwerp and which was given to a London news paper the feeling against the Dutch on this account is to strong in Bel gium that their lives are unsafe.

Herrick has been very popular here, and the last few weeks have been devoted to farewell luncheons and dinners in his honor.

cutting their communications. The railroad has been destroyed. Shot for shot the Germans returned the artillery fire. Thousands of ex- ploding shells landed in the fortifica- tions and in Liege from the artillery mortars and siege gguns of the Ger mans. The city of Liege has been fired in dozen places. The roof of the famous Liege cathedral was de- stroyed by the cannonade.
 Germans Enter and Quit City. At one stage of the battle the Ger mans penetrated into the city but were later withdrawn when it was seen that all the Notifications were still intact. With receipt of the news that the French were coming, the fury of the Belgians appeared to be redoubled.
 Belgians Claim Victory.
 A statement was issued by the war office which declares that despite the fact that 125,OOO Germans have been engaged, they have been unable to make any impression on the Liege de- lenses. It adds:
 "For many days our little army with tenacity and courage rendered highly valuable service to the French army, which for. some days has been coming to our assistance at top speed. French troops occupy much Belgium territory now, and are supporting the Belgian defenders
 With the French endorsements said to be at hand, the Belgians de- clare they are able to hold the Liege forts indefinitely. Realization of this has probably brought about the change in the German plan of cam paign.
 It is charged by the Belgians that the German soldiers do not appear to have their hearts in the fighting. A statement says
 'The German prisoners of war are mostly cayalrymen. They display no enthusiasm. Despite the fact that when the attack was renewed today three entire German army corps were engaged, they were unable to make any impression on the Liege forts, which still hold out and which are still we'll supplied with ammunition.'
 London, Aug. S-Germany and Rus sia each marched an army across the border at the other today. A full army corps of 40,00O of the kaiser's fighting men invaded Finland, land ing at Ekenaes, and is marching to- ward Helsinfers, 100 miles away.
 Helsingfors, on the Gulf of Fil- land, yesterday was reported shelled and captured by the German flet.
 From Helsingrors it is about 200 miles to St. Petersburg, and there Is a direct railroad line.
 Russia's blog at Germany, if the report bet true, is one of vastly greater weight. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Stand ard cables his paper that 50O,OoO Russian soldiers. with % heavy guns, crossed the border yesterday at some point unnamed and are now march ing into the kaisers domains.
 To back up this great array the mobilization orders of Russia include practically every fighting man ia the empire and six million are called to arms The war is instensely popu- lar with all classes.
 If the site of the Russion invading army is correctly reported it makes the situation grave for the kaiser.
 There is no doubt that he has

 Troops returning from the front re- port that the trenches around Liege are literally filled with the bodies of Germans.
 In some places the bodies are piled four and five deep.
 The Belgian infantry. cavalry and light artillery surprised and practic- ally annihilated division of German cavalry which forded the Mouse. Sev- en entire regiments of Germans were either killed or captured. The Belgian loss was also heavy.
 The renewed assault was made this morning following the refusal of the Belgians to grant the requested arm istice of "A hours. The Belgian con- mander declared he feared the Ger mans would use the time to bring up achievements. King Albert in per son commanded brigade of Belgian cavalry which attacked the German flank, hemming in the invaders be- tween the advancing Belgian troop CTS and the forts. A flying French cavalry column opportunely reinforce ed the Belgian defense.
 Frightful Slaughter.
 Repeated assaults and brilliant charges were made by the Germans on the Notifications. The slaughter was frightful as the Belgian fire was deadly. The Germans were forced to advance over open spaces which had been accurately mapped by the Belgians. Every shot from the Bel gian batteries had deadly effect. The Belgians were admirably assisted by their aviation corps. which located the position of the concealed German col umns and signalled back to the forts
 Mines were repeatedly exploed be- meath the advancing columns of Ger mans. They fought on doggedly. They fought under the most distress inx conditions. Their supply trains have been delayed by swollen streams, the result of heavy rains. Belgian cavalry are circling around them and
