 For a long period after the organi- zation of the company those upon whose resourcefulness depended the success or failure of the project had their hands full. Whether work could be continued hung in the balance They made numerous negotiations for funds and for sales of the prop erty. They had come to a realization that the enterprise was larger than

With properties which have a his tory dating back i3 years, itself or. ganized in the year 1875, just 70 years ago, the Detroit Copper Company must take rank with the earliest of the early day copper propositions in Arizona. With those early pioneers it shared the difficulties of absence of transportation facilities, high cost of supplies, excessively high cost of production when delivered at the nearest market.

 But this was only one of the dini- oultes that the Detroit Copper Com. pany had to face The problem of producing at a profit without adequate transportation facilities was for years one of the greatest. Had 1t not been for the high grade deposits that were close to the surface, it would have been utterly impossible That a low grade copper proposition, such as are these of the Clifton Morenci district today, could ever be made to pay would have been deemed preposterous.

 During the year 1914 the abnormal condition of the copper market, re- suIting from the European war, af- fected the Detroit Company as it did all other companies engaged in pro- duction of copper.

AGREE ON THE FOREIGN LOAN
Negotiations for Huge American
Credit at Per Cent

New York, Sept 29.=The agree
ment between the Anglo-French finan-
cial commission and the American
bankers with whom its members have
been comforting over the proposed
credit loan to Great Britain and
France has resulted in the formation
of a definite plan, it was officially an
nounced here tonight, for the estab-
lishment of a 500 million dollar loan
issue on 5-year, per cent joint Brit
ish and French bonds, payable jointly
and severally by the two nations,
upon which the big loan will be a first
lien.
The bonds will be issued to the pub
lie at SO, thus yielding approximately
SIG per cent to the investor and to
the nationwide syndicate of bankers
which will subscribe to the loan at
90. Formation of the syndicate has
been left to j. P. Morgan & Co. and
"a large group of American bankers
and financial houses" The bonds
will be issued in denominations as low
as 800, and subscribers thereto may
pay for them by installment.
At maturity these bonds will be re-
payable in cash or convertible into
Az per cent joint Anglo-French bonds
redeemable from ten to twenty years
thereafter by the two governments
Jointly and severally.
Sir Henry Darlington Smith, mem
Der of the commission, made the an
nouncement. He said that an identi-
cal statement would be made public
tonight in Chicago by Lord Reading,
chairman of the commission, who,
with three other members, is con-
ferring with Western bankers there.

THEIR LAST GREAT PARADE
President Shed Tears as Trimmed
Ranks of Veterans of 1865 Passed
Reviewing Stand.

Washington, Sept. 3O-Presidcnt
Wilson wept today as he reviewed the
parade of twenty thousand Grand
Army veterans. Tears gathered in his
eyes time and again and, unashamed,
he brushed them away.
He was not alone in his emotion for
as government officials, the thousands
from the city of Washington and the
one hundred thousand visitors who
lined the streets watched the broken
ranks, there were few dry eyes.
The President stood on the exact
spot where, fifty years ago. President
Andrew Johnson stood and saw these
same men, then beardless youths and
stalwart soldiers, swing in close ranks
up the avenue to be disbanded after
their four years of bloody struggle
The reviewing stand presented
brilliant picture. With the White
House for a background, it formed one
side of an imposing court of honor.
The President himself stood on
small balcony which projected out
from the main stand. With him were
the Cabinet members, justices of the
supreme court, the French and Brit
ish ambassadors, other diplomats and
officers of the army and navy in bril-
liant uniforms in deep contrast to the
faded blue uniforms and tattered bat
tie standards which wavered past in
ragged lines.

DOCTOR DUMBA is RECALLED
Oeposed Austrian Ambassador Notifies
State Department of Order-In-
cident Considered Closed.

Washington, Sept 29.-Dr. Constan-
tin Theodor Dumba, the ambassador
from Austria, telegraphed the state de
partment yesterday from the summer
embassy at Lenox, Mass, that he had
been ordered home by his govern
ment and asked that safe conduct
be arranged for him.
In the light of adyices from the
American ambassador at Vienna, Mr.
Penfield, that the Austrian foreign of
flee had given informal assurances
that DR.. Dumba would be recalled as
asked for by President Wilson the
state department construed Dr. Dunn
ba's dispatch of yesterday as a notifi-
cation that official action has been
taken by Vienna and will arrange for
his safe conduct without waiting for
formal notice from the Austrian for
eign office
This action is considered by the
American government as closing the
incident DIR. Dumba made himself
unacceptable to this government when
he attempted to transmit through
James F. J. Archibald, an American
correspondent, report to his foreign
office which disclosed his participation
in plans to cripple American NUM-
tions plants by strikes

LEFT TO DIE IN THE DESERT
Committee of Americans Confirms the
Recent Reports of Turkish Atroci-
ties in Armenia

New York. Sept. IA statement
confirming the massacre of Armenians
in Turkey was given out here today
by Prof. Samuel T. Dutton, secretary
of the committee on Armenian atroci-
ties, which was formed for the pur-
pose of investigating the facts regard
ing the massacre and it's relations to
American interests, and also to ascer-
tain whether anything can be done to
relieve the situation. 1t is shown that
probably a half million persons have
been sent to the desert to die in the
last few months.
Other members of the committee in
cIude Charles r. Crane, Cleveland; H.
Dodge, d. Stuart Dodge, Arthur Cur
tiss James, John r. Mott, Rabbi
Stephen S. Wise. Frank Mason North.
Stanley White. James l.. Barton and
William Sloane.
The statement in part follows:
"A subcommittee has thoroughly in
vestigated the evidence and has just
made report to the full committee,
confirming in every particular the
statement recently made by Viscount
Bryce regarding the Imprisonment,
torture, murder, massacre and exile
into the deserts of Northern Arabia
of defenseless and innocent Armen-
ians, including decrepit men, women
and children, and their forcible con-
version to Islam.
Statements examined, many of
which are in the possession of the
committee, cover hundreds of towns
and cities in which in many instances
all of the Armenians have been killed,
often after horrible torture. or sent
to the desert to die of starvation, and
that, too, with diabolical cruelty. The
ostensibIe deportation of men, women
and children toward Nesopotamia is
usually only a form of marching those
starving, helpless and frequently
naked refugees out into the noun
tains to be outraged and butchered,
sometimes by their guard and some
times by the Kurds, who gladly CO.
operate in the work of destruction.
Included among these refugees
and victims are pupils and graduates
from the American schools and col
leges, teachers and professional men,
who have taken degrees in American
and European universities, men and
women who have represented the
brains and enterprise of the country
for a generation or more.
THE plan of procedure, which is
seems to aim at the complete eIimi-
nation of all non-MosIem races from
Asiatic Turkey, and already that aim
is in fair way to Accomplishment so
far as the Armenians are concerned.
