 PARIS, July BOA strict censorship is being mann taned here regarding the movement of the armies but It expected that the great struggle between this country and Germany will open towards the Rhine.
 The long prepared plans of Germany are expected to be disclosed by the direction in which its troops will first move although is also surmsed that the kaisers troops may make fent in the beginning and suddenly be thrown in from an unexpected quarter altogether
 The British ambassador and the minister for war have been in close communication and government messengers are constantly rushing to and fro across the channel The general body the French people believe that the French and Russian governments have long since planned their method of attack on the German egns but it cannot be seen how France can avoid meeting Germany practically single handed where the two countries Ouch The hands of Russia will probably be tied on the Austrian frontier
 LONDON, July 3O.-In addition to the struggle be- tween the powers there fear here that while the great nations are fighting the smaller powers will endeavor to put into effect of the plans which stronger arms have prevented them from accomplishing.
 Several British avatOrs have offered their services to Russia and France for recOnnOteng purposes on land and at sea- The to be accompanied by the fly ing of literally thousands of arships According to the dispatches the great forces of Russia are being chiefly massed on the northeast of Austria.

CARRANZA ACCEPTS PEACE PLANS OF CARBAJAL AND
 GRANTS AMNESTY

WASHINGTON, July 9O.-The d
 partment of state was notified today that Carranza has accepted the peace plans of Carbajal and will grant an amnesty to Huerta and his friends. The only difficulty is expected to come from the refusal of Villa to agree to the arrangement and it is feared that he will never consent to allowing Huerta to return to Mexico. That Huerta will be included in the amneS- ty is taken for granted as he was par ticularly mentioned by Carbajal when he made the proposal but if it is tho truth that he sold away lands of tha republic to great companies and kep' the money it is doubtful that he woYld elect to return even if he could.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Paul Warburg who was nominated by the president to a membership of the new federal reserve board has agreed to appear before the congressional bank ing committee and give testimony re- garding himself and his financial views. He has notified the president to this effect and a repetition of the Jones case is regarded as not unlikely. The appointment of Warburg has been held up as was that of Jones. Jones was withdrawn by the president after his examination by the commit tee and on the evidence of Warburg will depend his own fate.

GARDINER, Mont, July 3O.-- Two masked men held up four coaches near old Faithful geyser last night and got away with $3,OOO which they secured from tourists. The tourists numbered 160 people, many of when were women who received a severe fright. After securing all they could the bandits made clean getaway bn. the troops in the neighborhood were notified and soldiers are now securing the hills in search of them.
 The bandits were evidently old hands at the game and went about tae work with such consummate coolnass that the customers in some instances rather enjoyed the experience.

NO IMPRISONMENT FOR
 DESERVING THE NAVY

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Secre- tary Daniels of the navy department has issued an order abolishing i'm prisonment as punishment for deser- tion from the navy in time of peace. He has substituted for the imprison- ment dishonorable discharge.
 He has made another regulation by which those who are dissatisfied with the service may receive an honorable discharge after refunding the enlist ment allowances.
 After recent disclosures concerning the punishment meted out to men in the army it is thought likely that new regulations will also be made in the military branch of the service to make the life of the enlisted men more tol- erable.

A MOCKING PIGEON

Il numberof ordinary pigeons at her
home in this place, but lately one of
them has developed the happy faculty
Of mocking, in its pigeon lingo, just
like a regular mocking bird. 1t has
taken to initiating the cry of coyote
which it does almost to perfection,
but strange to say it does this only
at night, commencing about midnight
and sometimes keeping it up for an
hour or two. OF course its voice is
not so strong as that of the coyote
but the intonations are perfect and
Well timed. AS the pigeons are all
housed together and they all look
alike, it is hard to ascertain which
one of them is doing this, especially
since he has chosen that hour at
which it is said that grave yards
yawn and the devil awaits his vic
tins at the crossroads, for singing

Maybe he mas picked out that nour

that the coyotes tune up for their noe

IF NOT WHY so, AND WHAT
MUST BE DONE TO PUT 1T ON

After having studied farming con-
ditions from the business standpoint
in various sections of the United
States, Prof. Stanely F. Morse, Agri-
culturist of the Arizona Agricultural
Experiment Station, seriously won
ders why SO many farmers continue
in the ranching business. He has
found that number of the farmers
in Illinois, New England and Ken
lucky are either losing money or max
ing a very >small interest on their in
vestments so that they would neatly
be better off to sell their farms, in

, ton. Not long ago he visited a GER
tain community in Arizona where al
falfa hay was selling for $500 per
ton baled f. O. b. cars An investiga-
tion showed that it cost the farmers
about $11.5 to deliver this hay to the
cars, thus selling at a loss of $3.50
pNI VII. 1uuCSoS were dCl-
ing the part of philanthropists in Civ
ing away $3.50 with every ton of hay
that they sold. Yet it is unlikely that
they We're doing this knowingly. The
point is however, that this is prob
ably only one case out of many where
farming is being done at a loss in
Arizona.
In order to help the farmers of Ari-
zona find out whether their ranches
are paying or not, Prof. Morse, who is
a farm management expert, has had
printed some blank forms to be filled
in by the farmers who are interested
in this matter. If these reports are
| carefully made out and returned to
Prof. Morse, he will be able to deter
mine from study OF the data given
whether the ranches in question are
paying or not, and if not why not, ,and
what must be done to put them on a
paying basis. These reports will also
show where the losses or leaks are;
and they will indicate what kinds of
farming are paying best in the var
iOus lOcalitise. The information con-
l tanned in these reports will be consid-
cred as strictly confidential, and the
names of the ranches and their own
ers will never be published without
permission. These blanks are being
sent to every mebmer of the Arizona
Farm Improvement Association, and
may be obtained by any farmer in the
state who will write to Prof. S. F.
Morse. Arizona Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, Tucson, Arizona.

MINERAL RODS" ARE FAKES

Whether gold, silver and other pre-
cious and useful minerals may be
found in the ground by means of min
erai rods is question frequently
asked of the United States Geological
Survey. The latest question of this
sort came from a correspondent in
VlnemOnt, Ala, who states that a
man from Birmingham has one OF
these rods for locating minerals, that
he claims to be employed by the gov.
ernment, and that the government
gets one-half of what he finds. This
expert mineral finders name is stated
to be Wise, which may or may not
have significance
The geological surveys reply to
this correspondent is that while an
ordinary compass or dip nedle, will
be attracted to ores of iron, nickel,
and cobalt, which are magnetic, it
will be affected by no other metals
or minerals, and that so-called min
eral rods are fakes. Anyone claiming
to operate mineral rod on behalf
OF the United States government is
an impOster and should be let Sc
yerely alone, or reported to the po-
lice Prescott Miner-Journal.

haut-boys or high4boys would not be
a misnomer for them. Besides, their

saved himself from skunkdom by
hooking one lone fish However,
there is some excuse for him, for the
party had something to eat and some
thing to drink-besides river water
and Lauten being coachman, chief
purveyor and cook-in- ordinary, had to
stay a good part of the time close to
camp; besides his responsibilities ma
