DEFEND US. LEST WE FALL

Just across the foaming brine four of the five great world powers and five lesser powers are viciously tear ing each other in pieces.
 England, France, Russia, Italy, Serbia, Belgium, Montenegro and even the little principality of San Marine are in mortal combat with Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turk ey, while the war dogs of Roumania, Bulgaria, and Greece are tugging at their chains in effort to appease their thirst for blood.
 Belgium is represented by its rul- ing house and but a shred of an army, Serbia is only plague ridden vestige while the drain of flesh and blood for cannon has weakened them all precceptably. Yet withal monster dreadnaughts, Zeppelins, Taubes sub marines and other hellish devices for destruction of mankind are held in reserve for final struggle.
 "The good old U. s. A." stands neu- tral. Yes, even tho every known ex- cuse has been made to drag the stars and stripes into the carnival of death. Even tho her vast manufactures give thousands of dollars bonus to captains of merchant marine to run the Europ- can blockades at risk of the lives of passengers and crew and loss of ves- sells and cargoes, yet Uncle Sam is in the clear.
 What else can be expected than the loss of lives and property in taking such chances? Deem it wiser to

plunge the nation into an insane con- fiict because capitilized blockade rum ners take such long chances, than to make it strictly understood that such shippers run the chances at their own risk and that all passengers take their trips on such vessels on their own re- sponsibility?

True we are pay ing $500 per year per capita for war revenue, lets pay $500 more and have some defences. Now is the time while wonder combatants are busy themselves.
 If we do not prepare for our de- fense sooner or later the yellow peril will loom nightly across our western horizon and let it be said that even tho we are not involved now, the struggle begun in Europe will only end when the dictatorship of this old earth is decided.

MT. LASSEN VOLCANO
 UNDER OBSERVATION

Washingtonr-Mt. Lassen, Califor- mia, whose violent eruption of May 19 places it in the first rank of volcanos now dangerously active, has become the subject of an informal cooperat- i've study by the geological survey and the forest service. At the request of the survey, a telegram has been sent from Washington instructing the officers of the Lassen National Forest, in which the peak stands, to continue observations of the volcano's activity and keep a record to be used as a basis for scientific investigation by J. s. Diller, a government geologist, who is expected at Lassen early in July.
 The observations are being made by forest rangers at the scene and from a fire lookout tower on Broke off Mountain, few miles north of the crater, where the forest service last year kept watch on the numerous eruptions which occurred from May to September.
 It is not known whether a cloud burst started the last eruption by precipitating rain down upon the molten lava in the crater, or whether melting of the snow on the peak, with consequent flowing of water into the crater, caused the accumulation of steam which blew a river of mud tout of the mountain. Mir. Diller, who made a study of the volcano last year, said that he inclined toward the melt ed snow theory, adding that the bright glow reported as appearing on the clouds of smoke and steam over the crater is a reflection of the red-hot matter uncovered by the eruption in- dicating that the volcano is in a more or less dangerous mood.
 The river of mud which was shot out of the north side of the crater and down Hat Creek has damaged govern ment and private property, says a wire to the forest service from San Francisco, destroying bridges which were necessary to permit the entrance of livestock that are grazed on the forest range during the summer. Some 12,O00 cattle and 30,000 sheep are grazed on the Lassen forest every year.
 Mt. Lassen is regarded as excep- tionally interesting from a scientific viewpoint, according to the geologi- cal survey, inasmuch as it is the only active volcano in the United States proper, is very accessible to observ- CTS, and appears to be full of danger ous possibilities. There is much that is not known about volcanos, and Las sen is expected by geologists to furn- ish considerable addition to existing information on the subject.

RED GROSS ASKS AID
 FOR STARVING MENCANS

Washington, D. C., May 29, 1915 Gov. w. P. Hunt,
 Governor,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Great number unfortunate Mexican people largely woman and children are facing death by starvation. The Pre- sident of the American Red Cross ap- peal most urgently to the people of the United States not to let sufferers at our own door die for lack of food. As President of your State Red Cross Board please appeal to the generosity of the people of your State for gifts of money, corn, beans, rice and flour Money may be sent to local Red Cross treasuries or Red Cross headquarters, Washington. Instructions will be sent from Washington as to routing of supplies.
 c. A. DOWD
 Acting Chairman, American Red Cross.
 Although no specific directions as to where the supplies for Mexico are to be assembled, it is probable that all shipments will be forwarded to Nogales, and from there shipped to points in the distressed republic. Members of the Arizona Red Cross committee are: Dwight B. Heard and H. J. McClung, Phoenix; Albert Steinfeld, Tucson; J. S. Douglas, Douglas; w. H. Brophy, Bisbee; Timothy A. Riordan, Flagstaff; R. N. Frederick, Prescott; E.. F. Sanguin- etti, Yuma, and P. P. Greer, Globe.
 Mir. Riordan Appeals for Aid Editor Coconino Sun:
 I enclose letter from the Acting Chairman of the American Red Cross together with letter from Governor Hunt, asking for help on the part of the American Red Cross in behalf of the famine-stricken woman and child ren of war-torn Mexico. Whatever we may think of the disgraceful con ditions in that unhappy country, it would be to say the least, cold-blood- ed in those of us who enjoy the pros perity of the greatest country on earth, to turn a deaf ear to the dis tress of innocent women and children, suffering for the bread that their un- natural protectors have taken from their mouths.
 I am sure that many of the gener- ous-hearted people in this community will not let the call for help of suf- fering women and children go un- needed.
 Sometime ago the Governor ap- pointed me on the Arizona Board of the Red Cross Society, and it will give me pleasure to forward to the proper officials any contributions for this good cause that the people of this county may see fit to entrust to me. It is hardly feasible to send sup plies on account of the expensive transportation, and for this reason l would suggest that contributions how ever small, be made in cash.
 Very truly yours,
 T. A. RIORDAN

She smiled.

She hurried from the room. Outside
in the hall she paused for moment,
listening with beating heart. By the

were hanging. She slipped quietly be-

A moment or two later she heard
the professor leave the house. Very
cautiously she stole out from her hid
ing place. The hall was empty. She
crossed 1t with noiseless footsteps,
slipped into the study and moved
stealthily to the fireplace. There was
little heap of ashes in one distinct
spot. She gathered them up in her
handkerchief and secreted it in her
dress and quietly left the house.

as she could to Quest.

The ambulance men came and de-
parted with their grim burden, the
room on the ground floor was locked
and sealed, and the house was soon
empty except for the two girls. To-
ward three o'clock Lenora went out
and returned with a newspaper. She
opened it out upon the table and they
both pored over it.

II never read newspapers, young
I lady," the professor replied.
LET me tell you what they say
about MI. Quest!"
Lenora commenced a rambling &C.
count Of what she had read in the
newspaper. All the time the eyes Of
the two girls were fixed upon the mir
ror They could see the professor
seated in his chair with two huge vol
umes by his side, pile of manuscript,
and a pen in his hand. They could
even catch the look of sympathy on
his face as he listened attentively. Sud-
denly Lenora almost broke off. She
gripped Laura by the arm. The door
of the study had been opened slowly,
and Craig, carrying a bundle, paused
| for moment on the threshold. He
glanced nervously toward the profess
sor, who seemed unaware of his en-
trance. Then he moved stealthily to-
ward the fireplace, stopped down and
committed something to the flames.
The relief on his face, as he stood up,
was obvious.
GAIL I can do for Mr. Quest, young
lady, WILL" the professor promised.
He laid the receiver down and the

Laura walked with her as far as the
street car. and very soon afterward
Lenora found herself knocking at the
professors front door. Craig admitted
her almost at once For moment he
seemed to shiver as he recognized her.
"Well, young lady," the professor
said, have you thought Of something
I can do?
She took no notice Of the chair to
which he pointed, and rested her hand
upon his shoulder.

It would be the kindest thing anyone

Her face shone with gratitude.

was still sitting. His usually good
humored face was little clouded.
Professor" he began Whats the
matter, Miles?"
A plain-clothes man from the street
had come hurrying into the room.
"Say. Mr.. French" he reported, our
fellows have got hold Of newsie
down in the street, who was coming
along way round the back and saw
two men enter this house by the side
entrance, half an hour ago. One he
described exactly as the professor
here. The other, without doubt, was
Quest"
French turned swiftly toward the
professor
"You hear what this man says?"
he exclaimed Mr.. Ashleigh, you're
fooling me: You entered this house
with Sanford Quest. You will have
to tell us where he is hiding"
The professor knocked the ash from
his cigar and replaced 1t In his mouth.
His clasped hands rested in front
of him. There was twinkle of some
thing like mirth in his eyes as he
glanced up at the inspector.
"Mr. French" he said, "Mr. Sanford
Quest is my friend. I am here In
charge Of his house. Believing as
do that his arrest was an egregious
blunder, shall say or do nothing like

French turned impatiently away.
Suddenly light broke In upon him;
he rushed toward the door

The professor smiled benigniy.

glanced suddenly downward, frowned
slightly

''Sit still, professor"
He darted into his room and reap

| professor gave a gasp of astonish-
ment at his altered appearance. His
| tweed suit seemed to have been turned
! inside out. There were no lapels now,
and it was buttoned up to his neck. He
wore a long white apron; a peaked
cap and a chinpiece of astonishing
| naturalness had transformed him into
the semblance of a Dutch grocer's boy.

He ran lightly down the steps and

threw a cloth over the top. Then he

out for a moment, swung through 1t
on to the step, and, turning round.
commenced to belabor 1t with his fist.
Two plain-clothes men stood at the
end of the street. A police automo-
bile drew up outside the gate. Inspec-
tor French, attended by policeman,
stepped out. The former looked search.

French smiled.
"You run along home" he said, "and

Quest went off, grumbling, French
opened the door with master key
and secured it carefully, leaving one Of
his men to guard it. He searched the
rooms on the ground floor and finally
assembled to Quests study. The pro-
fessor was still enjoying his cigar.
"Say, where's Quest?" the inspector
asked promptly.
Have you let him cut already" the
professor replied, in a tone of mild
surprise II thought he was in the
i Tombs prison"
The inspector pressed on without
answering. Every room in the house
was ransacked. Presently he came
back to the room where the professor
