Germany's Novel Apologies.

I'VE observe that various German
apologies, official and semi-ofiicial, ad-
nit their country has been false to its
pledged word and dwell almost with
pride on the frightfulness of the ex-
ample by which it has been sought to
spread terror in Belgium. But they
excuse all those breaches Of its pledges
by strange and novel plea. German
culture and civilization are so supe-
rior to those Of other nations thai all
steps taken to assert them are more
than justified. and the destiny of Ger
many to be the dominating force in
Europe and the world is so manifest
that the ordinary rules of morality 90
not hold in her case, but actions are
good or bad simply as they help or
hinder the accomplishment Of that des-
tiny.
These views, inculcatcd upon the
presen. generation of Germans by
many celebrated historians and teach
ers, seem to US both dangerous and in
sane.
No Nation Has Such Right.
MANY Of US have dear friends in
&c many; many Of US regard German
culture with he highest respect and
gratitude. But we cannot admit that
any nation has a right by brute force
to impose its culture upoa other ma
tions, nor that the iron military bu.
reaucracy Of Prussia represents q
higher form of human society than the
flee constitutions of Western Europe.
"Whatever the orld destiny of Ger
many may be, we in Crest Britain are
ourselves conscious Of destiny and
duty. That destiny and duty, alike for
us and for I'll the English speaking
race, call upon US tc uphold the rule OF
common justice between civilized peo-
piles TO defend the rights of small ma
tions and maintain the free and law
abiding ideals oil Western Europe
against the ule Of blood and iron and
the domination of the Whole continent
by a military caste.
For these rea. ons and others the
undersigned feel bound .upport the
cause of the Allies with all their
strength, with a full conviction of its
righteousness and q deep sense of its

Cleaning Up

The regular cleanup days are set for next Friday and Saturday but many people are already busy cleaning up their yards and alleys. This is very encouraging and makes it look as tho we can expect the most thoro clean up the city has yet had. The editor has his tin-cans ready for the city team to get now. How about yours? Let none of us neglect this. Re- member, it is good business for everyone, because it will greatly benefit the entire town, and make this a much more desirable sum- mer resort for our summer visitors than the town has been before.

Prescott Wins

We admit defeat. Prescott won. They played better ball then we did. and the victory is rightly theirs If you can't be a winner he next best thing is to be 9 good loser But, take notice, we wont al ways be losers this season. Its up to us now to get busy and de- velop a real team, and we are go- ing to get down to business. We will play Prescott again someday, and we will say thls much, if they win that game they will have to work a great deal harder than they did for the first one.

Encouraging

It is encouraging to every well wisher of Williams to see how many good men are offering them selves as candidates for city office. Among the number are many men who have business cares that make their time valuable in their own affairs, but nevertheless they are willing for the gond of the town to dnuate the tim and tffor, necess- ary to conduct the ci'y's business. There is little pay in any city office in a town of this size ana none for councllmen, yet the pee. pie may have high riced men t. conduct their business during the next two years if they 50 choose
 If Williams does not have good strong council after the spring election, the people will have only themselves to blame.

Signs of Advancement.

Here they are on every hand One of these that is as sure sign
 ,f growth and prosperity in Will ,ams as any, IS the growing News.
 The editors are here to work fol the best interests of the town and boost all that they can And a newspaper is the very best adver. .gisement that any town can have if only that newspaper be of the right'sort. A nine page paper for Williams! What does it mean More thau can be told here. One thing tho, which 1t has meant is that a printer who could not get work in Flagstaff came here and got work, and is badly needed. Then followed a letter from a prln- ter who had been engaged in Flag. out was no longer needed, and who would like to work here. What town did you say is going down? Say, neighbors up the line. better stop that sort of talk about Will. Hams, ont you think?

Williams Going Down?
 Well, Hardly

Elsewhere in this issue we u { the remark of d Flagstaff citizel who has held the opinion that Will Hams is going down. The elght page News of twv weeks ago reliev- ed him of that misapprehension and the nine page News of last week ought to have let him see that far from going down, we are build ing up with a steady permanent growth.
 Yes, there are good days ahead for Williams, far better days than she has yet known. The resources of the country as they are and have been have not finished the building up of the country that they are capable of. Every year a quota of the cities income constructs buildings and other improvement $ that are permanent. But that is not all. The c untry is bound to .evelop m re and more. There is d certain amount of land good f I agricultural purposes which, as the methods best suited for farming in this section are learned, will add more and more to the wealth o1 the country.
 Then there is the towns future as summer resort. Many people come here now to spend their sum- mers and this class of people will increase in numbers as the town and the country become better known, and as convenience fol entertaining such people are i'm proved.
 Then last but not least, is the coming courty division and Will. Hams as future county seat We are not saying just when this will take place, but someday it is bound to, and then Williams will rightly come into her own. Will Hams going down? We'll, Hardly

THE VIEW FROM BILL WILL.
 IAMS--LUNCH AT THE SUMMIT

For little exercise last Sunday, the editor walked to the top of Bill Williams, taking his lunch along with him. He climbed the noun. i tain from the south side to avoid ] the snow on the north. There seemed to be no trail on that side
 of the noun ain and a good hard climb thru scrub oak, quaking asp, and over rocks was had. The decent was made over the snow on the r h, and on down along the ranger trail.
 For the benefit of those readers of the News who have not had the privilege of climbing this mountain these few words are offered. Since the ascent was made from the south the south view was first noticed. The smoke from the smelters at Jerome became visible long before
 the top was reached. From the
 summit of the mountains far be
 yond, Jerome could be indistinctly
 discerned. Jeroine, we are told Is
 some seventy mikes away. Num-
 bers of mountains, some with tab- le tops, some with sharp peaks and one smoking like a slightly active volcano, and claimed by some to be such, dotted the landscape. Be- tween the mountain were many
 low level stretches, one or more ranch houses being visible on each of the nearer enc; and except for a clearings over all was spread a vast cl, ak of trees Coleman lake and the ether lakes to the southward, were not visible probaly due to the fact that the land in that direction slopes down away fr m Bill, turn ing it might be said, its face away from the mountain and hiding its lakes behind mountains.
 Far to the west loomed mount. aims and mountains, but nearer at hand particularly to the northwest, lay more nearly level region, along which the Santa Fla track worms its way. Ash Fork, some twenty-five miles away, would have been visible with the aid of tele- scope, but was not so to the naked eye. The chugging of two freight trains, one up the grade from Will Iams west to Supai hill, and the other climbing the same hill but from the opposite direction, sound ed as distinct as tho the trans had been but half mile away instead of seven.
 In the view to the north were visible number uf lakes nestled down between the hills, and far be- yond was barely visible the north rim of the canyon On this side lie many pen mes and valleys dot ted only here and there with trees.

MONEY IN HOME GARDENS
Speakers at Boston Meeting Say Boys
and Girls Are Making Their
Training Profitable.

The application of home and school
garden training may be said to have
been in a general way the subject dis
Home and School Garden Club Of
Massachusetts,.
Prof. w. R. Hart of Amherst Agri-
cultural college, the secretary of the
club, declared that the home and
school garden is now, SO to speak, "a
going proposition" and that after six
years of urging the plan for urban,
suburban and rural districts the idea
is now to school children SO they
may turn the knowledge acquired in
the gardens to the best advantage.
All the speakers laid stress on the
fact that, aside from keeping children
interested and proitably occupied, the
garden training has resulted in consid-
cradle revenue to the youthful garden
ers, once they have become reason
ably proficient In growing vegetables
and flowers. In the neighborhood of
several large cities in the state the
highly cultivated market gardens have
been found to be excellent laborato-
ries for the young students of garden
ing, and some boys from this begin
ming have graduated into the practical
work of farming or market-gardening.
If the boys work is planting and
harvesting vegetables. there is a field
for the girls in canning, and this
branch was described by Laura Com
stock of Amherst Agricultural college.
extension professor in home econo-
mics, Miss Comstock exhibited a
small woodworking stove specially de-
signed for steaming canned fruits or
vegetables and explained the use of
the simple apparatus which goes with
the stove.

Horne Garden Contest.

Seven thousand school children of

home garden contest to be conducted
this spring and summer by the cham
Der of commerce and Young Mems
Christian association. Last years con
test, in which $500 children raised
garden stuff valued at SIS, 900, will be
doubled in size this year, and the
board Of education will hire an expert
agriculturist to direct the work of the
amateur farmer. Instead of one large
central fair In the autumn, as last
year there will be a series OF spring
fairs" one In each of the 80 city
school districts, the week after school
closes in June, and the winners at
these will take their exhibits to a
central place the next day for the
final contest. In the fall the pupils
who wish to enter In the Spokane In
terstate fair for prizes offered on gar
den products will take their exhibits
individually to the fair. Competition
in the spring fairs" will be open to
pupils in all schools from the fourth
to the eighth grade. High school pu-
pills will be eligible to compete at the
Interstate fair.

WORK IN SCIENTIFIC MANNER
Authorities Of Paris Raise Their Own
Flowers and Trees for Beautlfy-
Ing the City.

The raising, planting and upkeep OF
the trees which so beautify the streets
and ~boulevards Of Paris are under the
direction of the prefecture Of the de-
partment of the Seine. in which Paris
is situated. A special administrative
department Of the prefecture, known
as the Direction administrative des
services d'architecture ct des prone
nades ct plantations" is in exclusive
charge of this undertaking, which, in
a city like Paris, assumes very large
proportions. For instance, on January
l, 1912, the total number of trees on
the streets, ~boulevards and squares of
Paris was S6,6S6; the total number of
men employed throughout the year in
planting, transplanting, watering and
removing dead trees was 100, and the
total cost of maintaining these trees
was estimated at 500, 000f. ($96.500).
On an average LOO to 1900 new
trees are planted every year to replace
those which have died, been over
thrown by carts, automobiles, ETC., or
which have been removed for other
reasons
The city Of Paris has large and va
r1ed plantations Just outside the forti-
tications, where flowers, exotic shrubs
and trees are raised. One hundred and
thirteen lighthouses for plants, exotic
shrubs and flowers are heated from
one central heating plant, distributing
hot water through a nine and one-half
mile system of pipes. The object Of
this central heating organization is
not, as the head gardener explains,
with a view to economy. In fact, such
a system is far more costly than sep
arate installations for each group Of
hothouses, but is thus arranged to
avoid the existence of a series of un-
slightly chimneys which would destroy
the artistic effect of the grounds,
which are more or less a public resort
and show place.

AN INSTANT LATER THE CHAIR SHOT DOWN THE STREET WITH
THE FORCE OF A TORNADO

was now director of numerous west
ern land companies, was a name to be
respected. He did glance for a mo-
ment at the cripple's shabby coat, but
reflected that many queer people came
from all parts Of the country to inter-
view Mr.. Staples, and so dismissed all
further thought OF the matter.
well, Null. I'll see yes again." he
said, end started off. twirling his club
joyously, his mouth watering az he
thought of that foaming schooner in
which he was so soon to plunge 1t.
! But something about the chair was
worrying him, and he had hardly pro-
ceeded three PAGES when 1t grew clear
to him. He swung around. 1t seemed
incredible, but-the chair was actual
ly supported upon a single wheel!
OSullivan had worked as a. me-
chanic before he Joined the force"
and was never satisfied until all man
ner of mechanism was made clear to
him. That he had failed consciously
to notice this astonishing phenomenon
before was simply because his mind
had never conceived the possibility of
its existence. He looked again; yes,
the chair stood bolt upright upon a
single wheel.
"Mul! Null" he shouted. Look here,
me lad. Did yez liver see a chair that
ran On n wheel before?"
Mulcahey looked again. Surely
enough, his friend was right o'Sulli-
van placed his powerful hands upon
the side and tried to tilt the appara-
tus. His effort was as useless as
though he had attempted to tilt st.
Patrick's cathedral. The chair did
not bulge in the least, but remained
still upon the sidewalk, perfectly mo-
tionless, and, as 1t seemed, busily
humming itself to sleep.
"Heyl Beat it," shouted Mulcahey,
turning upon the curious crowd that
had begun to assemble round the un-
canny vehicle. He drove them away
and then turned to the cripple again,
scowling Grossly. You'll have to move
on, young %feller," he said. Keep her
a-moving and don't collect a crowd
or I'll run you and your chair into the
station house."
The cripple returned no answer, but
began slowly p~ropelling his strange
vehicle along the road'that borders the
park In the direction of Mr., Staples
house. He moved at his two-mile gait
and small crowd followed him; but
as he made no answer to their badin'
age, they tired Of worrying him and

small boys, who ran alongside, jeering

mechanism concealed within the ase
was not only extremely powerful, but
vas working at full speed, though it
was in some way disconnected from
the motive power of the chair, so that
the latter could move forward at it's
pace of two miles an hour, propelled
solely by the cripple's arms. So fast
came the separate explosions of the
gas engine, which was evidently a
part OF this complex arrangement, that
they were merged into q single rolling
sound.
What the divir5 thot, Jack?" ex-
claimed O'Sullivan profanely, rising
flushed after the exertion of bending
his comfortably covered body beneath
the chair.
From the cushions q strange figure
raised itself and regarded him. The
occupant vas q man of perhaps forty
years. He was evidently a gentleman,
although the blue suit that he wore was
| cheap and frayed and his wrists were
innocent of cuffs. Mulcahey, whose
mind did not turn toward mechanic5, as
did that of his friend, observed the pc
culiar pallor Of the occupant'e face,
Prison pallor," he thought immedi,
ately, and the closely cropped hair and
stubble Of a new beard confirmed in
his own mind the fast awakening sus-
picions that he was forming. His
glance turned toward the mans limbs,
The legs hung Imply as a p~aralytic's,
and were evidently powerless. But
what struck him most strongly were
the arms. For while the left was, II
anything, rather under-developed, the
right was that Of a Samson. Under
the frayed sleeve Mulcahey could
trace the outlines of the great muscles,
ripping up from the wrist, and then
the protruding biceps, and, under the
arm, the triceps, rigid as steel. The
man perceived his gaze and withdrew
his right arm, flushing slightly as he
did 30.
Nov, who is her" pondered Null
cahey. "Td like to know. There's
something queer about that fellow
His intuition struck home with tbs
conviction Of a fact: He determined
that he would keep him in sight sc
long as he was on his post, but with
out awakening suspicious.
Meanwhile the cripple was answer
ing O'Sullivan's questions.
This 10 my chair, sir" he said cour
teously, and in well-bred tones which
at once lulled the patrolman's sus
picions to sleep. II have been injured
as you Ear see, and have come here tc
meet Mr.. Staples at one o'clock. wher
he returns to his house."
O'Sullivan was impressed. Mr.
