 ROUTE |S OPEN
Transcontinental Parties Are Using Buckeye Crossing to Agua Fria-The Dome Ferry Over Gila River is Working

For the coast travelling public The Republican has secured some infor- nation concerning the condition of the roads. Harry Locke, the field engineer of the Arizona Good Roads association, has looked into the situ- atiOn and he reports that the Yuma Phoenix stretch of the Borderland route is passable.
 From Phoenix to Agua Caliente, the best route lies along what is known as the lower Buckeye road The Yuma road crossing at the Agua Fria is not in good shape. and all motorists are taking to the Buckeye ford.
 The Dome ferry over the Gila is in working order. and much of the sand of the final twenty miles on the Yuma route is packed by the recent rains.
 Quite a number of transcontinen- tai parties have made successful trips from here to Yuma within the past week, in spite of the reports that the lords were all impossible.

He is besieged by his power and calling upon his sis ter. who IS an authoress of note he ex- tracts from her, in a like manner, her ability to write her masterpiece.

1.-THE vALoR OF IGNORANCE

nG tAGOh UT t1N0NHtNS6
 To the Editor of The Republican
 read with interest a letter contrib uted to The Republican and published Feb. end and am more and mere appre- ciatiyc of the valor of ignorance.
 MT. E. J. is certainly taking tho wrong view in his hopes for peace. We all hope for an everlasting peace but the unarmed and unprepared nation that hopes for eternal peace surely hopes in vain. when that nation has ev- erything desired by other nations.
 am neither the adjutant general nor an officer who makes the military his life study and daily bread, therefor believe am as qualified as is MT. B. J. to discuss this question, which is the most critical that confrOnts this nation today. MT B. J. is correct in his state ment that we could raise and equip an army in three years but-where would any of the helligerents of Europe be to- day who had been depending upon raising and training their army in the short period of three yeas? The hist ory of Europe tomorrow will be gov erned by the survival of the fitteSt". So has history been for centuries.
 Where is China today? China who was once the strongest of nations is today the weakest and all because she allowed her military to deteriorate.
 Italy, once a world power who al- lowed her military to deteriorate by hiring ner troops (aliens) to perform military duty while her citizens spent their whole time in their commercial ism and their beloved literature. Where is Italy today?
 ret of Germany's phenomenal rise to a dominating world power?
 Where would France be today were she as unprepared for war as she was at the beginning of the Franco -Prus- sian war? France learned her lesson and dearly, will the United States have to pay as dearly for her indifference and through the valor of ignorance?
 l am glad that the same issue of the Republican in which appeared MT. B. Us letter also editorially disagreed with him. I was also pleased to note that in Mr. Wilson's recent message to congress that he recommended larger and more encouraged National Guard. It would not take very much of a sacrifice on the part of every citizen of the United States to become a military student in at least a small way. There are lots of good works which are really educational and would enlighten a few of our citizens to such an extent that they would look with more favor and respect on the honest efforts of the men who realize the dangers of an indif- ferent and unmilitary nation The valor of ignorance by Homer Lea, is an

LARGE CROWDS ATTEND
 OPENING OF REVIVAL
Five Unite With Church On First Night of Gospel Services at the
 First Baptist Church.

An audience that filled every avail able seat in the First Baptist church gathered yesterday morning at the opening of the series of revival ser vices being conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. Harvey Deere.
 Taking as his theme the vision of dry bones receiving the breath of life, as revealed to the prophet Ezekiel, Dr. Deere delivered a strong message, in which he emphasized the fact that many apparently dead spiritually are but awaiting the breath of life. The close of the service was especially effective, The pastor asked the members of the church to stand and addressed to them the words of encouragement and inspiration as to their part in the meetings. Then the rest of the aud fence was asked to rise, and after a brief message, the large assemblage was dismissed with the benediction.
 At the evening service five persons came forward to unite with the church, two coming on profession and three by letter. The pastor took for his text Proverbs 11:19-"He that pursueth evil purseth it to his own hurt'-and showed clearly that sin not only resulted in bodily death, but also death to the conscience, to self respect and to the soul. This evening Dr. Deere will speak on the subject. Where Are You?" Everyone is most cordially invited to attend these ser vices.

NEW EXPLOSIVE NOT

Official Press Bureau Says Cleveland

LONDON. July 1.-THE official
press bureau gave out the following
statement:
1T has come to the attention of his
majesty'S government that an adver-
tisement issued in the American Ma
chinist Of May by the Cleveland Au-
tomato Machine Co, is being quoted
in the United States as showing a type
of weapon which is being exported
from America for the use Of the Bri-
tish armies
The advertisement relates to a new
kind Of high explosive, the effects Of
which are described in the advertise
ment.
The government have reason 10
believe that the advertisement is not
genuine, but published with the de-
liberate intention Of creating a false
impression. The government thinks
it is right TO state that no order what
ever for an explosive such as that de-
scribed has been given by the govern
ment, either in America or elsewhere.
The government has neither used
nor contemplates using any invention

Finding of Lord MerSey Crit
iCiSeS Captain For Not Fol-
lowing Instructions of
Admiralty.
AIM OF GERMANS TO
CAUSE LOSS OF LIFE
Ship Had No Concealed Guns
and Did Not Violate Laws
of United States as
Charged.

LONDON, July 17.-That the liner
Lusitania was destroyed with loss
of more than 1000 lives by two tor
pedoes fired by a German submarine
without warning and not by an eX-
plosiOn of ammunition in her cargo
is the chief feature of the verdict rem
dered today by Lord Mersey, who pre-
sided at the investigation into the
sinking of the Cunarder on May Z.
The verdict criticises the failure OF
Cant. William Turner to follow the di-
rections given him by the British ad-
miralty. but sums up the judgment
against the German admiralty In these
words.
..The whole blame for the catastro-
phe rests solely upon those who plot
ted and committed the crime"
In the verdict Lord Mersey empha-
sized these points:
1.-The Lusitania was struck al
most simultaneously by two torpedoes
2.-The liner was attacked not
merely with view to sinking her, but
also with the purpose of causing loss
of life.
3.-The Lusitania was unarmed.
She carried no concealed guns, train
ed gunners and no trained troops
The vessel had on board a number of
cases of cartridges. which we're en-
tered in her manifest, but had no
other ammunition on board.
Capt. Turner failed to follow
the admiralty's advice, although full
instructions had been given him.
5.-If Capt Turner had fully heed
ed the advice of the admiralty the
Lusitania might not have been sunk.
However. blame for the disaster is
not attributed TO Capt. Turner.
6.-The Cunard line had not vio-
lated the laws of the United States in
the case of the Lusitania, as charged
by Germany.
THE submarine which sank the
Lusitania. did not reveal its identity
before the attack was made as it car
ried no flag.
S.-CompIaints Of the survivors
about the condition of the lifeboats
on the liner were ill-founded.
9. - Reasonable and practical
measures were taken by those in
charge of the ship after the attack
was made.
I'm some respects" says Lord Mer-
sey, capt. Turner did not follow the
advice Of the admiralty. although he
had been fully advised as to precau-
tions TO be taken to avoid submarines.
Had Capt Turner needed this ad-
vice carefully his ship might have
been safe, although blame for the dis
aster ought not TO be imputed to the
master of the liner.
THE evidence shows that the Lusi-
tania was an unarmed ship. The at
tack was made without warning and
no opportunity was given the passen-
gers to leave the ship.
THE Lusitania was not an armed
ship. She carried no ammunition for
use on the voyage, no masked guns
and no trained gUnners. Nor did the
liner carry troops. In no wise were
the laws Of the United States violated.
As the manifest shows the Lusi-
tania carried number Of cases Of
cartridges. There was no secret about
this"
