GREATEST EFFORT

to take Ypres, which is considered the key to the French coast ports. The Pail Mall Gazette says this ev- ening: Tt is folly to say that Ypres has more of a political than al mili- tary importance. The Germans are to be more encouraged by success at 1pres than anything since the fall of Antwerp. If such an event occurs We must instantly recognize it. and admit it to be a defeat, and grave one In the place of d party cabinet q national ministry ought to be formed. and new military levy made. Happily there is yet no need to anticipate a retreat from YDres much less German march on Dun- kirk. and Calais"
 Other German claims relate to the successes in Woevre. where the Ger mans say in an attack along the Northern side of the St. Mihiel wedge they took upwards of 1000 prisoners and that they repulsed French at tacks on the southern sections of the wedge near Flirey. This. as usual during the last few weeks. entirely disagrees with the French account of the actions.

Work of Printers Art Taken Off Republican Press, Contains Classy
 Dope and Some Cartoons

1 The book for the big shrine cere-
 mOnial to be held at Nogales May | l6, 11 and IS is off the press and ] IS one of the most unique ever sub mitted by the play degree of the Masonic lodge
 ! It is done in the colors of the 1 Mexican flag. red. yellow and green and is embellished with cuts and n- lustratiOns characteristic of the bull ] fight which is to be feature of the entertainment provided by the shrine committee of Nogales All of the matter is written in 1 broken lingo as spoken by a Mexi- can learning to talk English. The story of the ceremonial is told in slaughtered United States and con- tains many satires yelled in the l1u- nor of the supposed "Mesican boys" who are given credit for the author ship of the letters.
 The illustrations by Craver. the high school cartoonist are features of the clever book.
 The ceremonial for which the book has been published will be held at NogaIes on the dates above men, toned and a class of more than fifty is expected to be ready to cross the hot sands. A special initiation stunt is being worked out for the candidates and in addition they will be asked to go in and fight the bool.
 The entertainment committee of the border city is working on a pro- gram that includes besides q bull fight Sunday banquet on Mexican dishes and a trip over the battle fields of the recent scrap between the warning factions in the sister re- l-ublic.
 As the book announces. Mexico has no 23 constitutional amendment and the denizens of the twin cities are having the international line obliter- ated so that the thirsty will not have to take trip abroad to ease his foot on the rail.
 More than two car loads of sShriners will go from here it is eX pected and the ceremonial will be the largest held in the state this year.

we did some others we visited

at any rate they did not meet us
with brass band and flowers,
but instead one of them pro-
ceeded to cut one of our banners
from the car and would have
taken more of them but the con-
ductor interfered and recovered
our property.
We stopped only a few minutes
in Houston and made a straight
run for New Orleans. The

country between Los Angeles

300 feet below sea level, then it
was hard to realize we had just
been drawing our wraps about
us and viewing the snow on the
mountains, the air was so hot
and dry we were almost famished
in spite of the cold water we
drank. Not one living object
was to be seen except a few
little dried up weeds and they
did not look as if they had any
life in them. The great hot
sand beds did not lock very in

with so many mosquitoes to tor
ment us, makes it seem more
unreal when | think of the SHOWS
we saw on our way to San
Francisco. We had a view OF
Pixies Peak, from the Cripple
Creek hills, with the snow glist-
ming in the sunshine. 1t was not
so hard to realize then as we
had just experienced a cold day
in August. The beautiful
streams we saw makes one wish
that they might again view the
same sights when the tempature
is about 90 in the shade. We
viewed the little stream called
snake river and the name is in
deed very appropriate for it is
so crooked you would wonder
how the water could make a
clean run.
1t is a picture long to be
remembered when one has seen
the great Pacific ocean. We
watched the people gathered
about there and how they en-
ioyed the wonderful sights. The
children would sometimes be toe
slow in retreating as the waves
would come dashing out on the
sands and some got washed
under, even on that cold day,
however they came up mot
smiling and did not care to take
the second plunge.
The weather was cold all the
time and we enjoyed our wraps
and at night our blankets. II
was more comfortable in Los
Angeles and that brings me back
to my last letter. Our reception
there was lovely as well as the
rest. 1t is hard to describe what
a welcome we had and how the
people endeavored to make il
pleasant for us. Those who die
not meet with some Mississippiar
they had formerally known met
some who had known people we
knew. There was a misunder'
standing with the people about
our arrival. They expected us
on Saturday and had a big din
ner already for us-a picnic din
ner in the park. One lady tolc
