FAXED PASSPORTS

Here is bit of testimony from the confession Of
Robert Rosentha the German spy recently arrested and
brought to trial in England
Il was doubtful about coming to England again but
Captain Won Preger said: If you have any fear about
travelling a passport under your l can give
you another passport He then opened in his Of
fee and a bundle American passport blanks
printed in the proper form on the form the
correct parchment He showed me forged dies witt
which the seal of the United could be reproduced
I you he said with passport that viii pass
inspection"
If this statement is be trusted the alleged forging
of passports by the German service is fact and
has assumed alarming proportions There have beer
many rumors and some apparently authentic cases OF
passport fasihcations the furtherance the
the German espionage system in hostile countries ana
even attaches Of the German embassy at Washington
have been involved in the charges But there has been
nothing definite this
For the sake Germanys and the ebbing friend
ship of the countries it is to be hoped that such ac
cusaons may be dsproved It serious thing forge
passports especially when their compromises the

picon all genuine passports carried by its own citizens

CERTAINLY. ENGLAND DONE III

II seems strange that DR. oswald Famm's explanation
the Lusiania disaster has little credence
outside of Germany DR.. Flamm (whose middle is
Flmm) has absolutely proved in Berlin newspaper
that it was the British who the Lusana and any
body who rejects his reasoning is incapable of logic.
or is unneutra at heart The same argument" holds
for the Arabic.
First he proves by abstract reasoning England
caused the sinking the Lustana because that would
have natural thing for her to do "she had the
very greatest causing the OF a really i'm.
portan ship with simultaneous destruction of
American lives, by German submarine" England
knew Of course that in Of such loss there would
be an ultimatum from Washington and England would
American moral support or American partcips
ton in the war.
So England plotted deliberately to bring the Lusitania
within range of a German submarine and made it as
easy possible for the submarine to torpedo her
DR. Flamm reinforces this conclusion with argument
based circumstantial evidence The "abject
puousness of the English government" is shown by the
fact that the webuilt Lusitana sank within the in
credible space of twenty minutes" After careful anal
ysis the ship structure the whole situation he
concludes that the disaster caused not by the Ger
man torpedo that hit the Lustania but by second ex
ploson, "artihcialy and Intentionally caused by some
paid individual board the purpose of nsurng the
certain destruction of the vessel"
What condemnation strong enough for the utter
criminaty and codblooded cruelty Of a nation that will
thus aid and abe the German navy saughterns 14OO
for the sake of military advantage?
And isn't it possible too that England is deliberately
plotting against Germany by always having women and

GOODBYE, HENRY

It's hard to get excited over the announcement that
Henry James the novelist his American
citizenship and become a British subject Some of us
are surprised learn that he was an American AS a
matter of fact he has been English heart well as
in residence and in literary work for a generation
where the heart the national allegiance might
well follow.
England is welcome to Henry. II it had been his
brother William, the great Harvard psychologist who died
few years ago. the country would feel Of per
sona loss. But when comes to HenTy-we'ye never
been able make him out anyhow. Far be it from a
newspaper to pretend that he's fathomed the
verbose and poysylabic depths of his novels and de
scrptve books Possibly they are works of genius and
possibly they're not If three-yolume yarns crammed
with inerminabe talk by mediocre people uninerest
ing topics literature, then give the latest detec
tive story the sporting supplement
Yes we can worry along without Henry James as long
have such writer's left George AIDE. James Whit

GALES WILL START
SWEEPING REFORMS
THROUGHT SONORA
Adjustment of Liquor Traffic
and Gambling and Sanitary
Improvements Are Features
of Promising Program.


zORRILLO CAMP Aug. 2O.-The
Daily Herald representative held a
long conference with General p. ELIAS
Gales, governor Of Sonora, few
days ago in which the governor out
lined his future plans These include
las follows:
1. He intends to abolish the vice
of liquor in the state.
2. He intends to absolutely prohi-
bit gambling within the confines of
Sanora.
8. He intends to order a thorough
sanitary overhaul of Nogales, Hermo-
sillo and Guaymas, and all other
towns made pig-styes by Maytorena's
YaQuis.
a. He intends to revise the hos
pital service, both civil and military,
under the superintendency Of Doctor
Hollingsworth, chief Of the Red Cross.
8. He intends to give guarantees
of protection to all foreign interests
in the state, and if necessary armed
guards for protection against Indians
and bandits
6. One of his first purposes will be
the determination of banditti in Sono-
ra.
Z. Settlers in the Yaqui River val
ley will be given full protection by
his troops.
s. AS soon as peace is restored to
the state his soldiers will be given
acreage and set to work filling the
soil
TO those who know Gales, it will
be realized that these are the usual
idle boasts OF Mexico military dictat
ors. Governor Gales means what he
says. He is a man who has so far
accomplished all he has set out to ac-
complish He does nothing in a hur-
ny; for six months he made careful
in Aqua Prieta for the
present sweep OF his troops
There has not been desertion
from the Gales army in months The
men are well fed. well-clothed and
'ontented They are provided with
geld equipment, including canteens,
knapsacks and sleeping tents. He has
sufficient ammunition for three
months His rifles and machine guns
are all of the latest model
In the interview General Gales ex-
pressed none but the kindest of feel
ing towards Americans ia general. but
he deplored the action OF certain
Americans who, he said. were trading
on the disturbed conditions of his
country TO carry on smuggling and
other crimes.

entry he said THE reason my men

"Will you allow the saloons to re-
main open in Nogales?" the general
vas asked.
Not as they are at present conduct
sd-certainly not" he answered.
Asked when he intended TO enter
Nogales the governor was uncommit-
.al.
