OLA PAz REv|v|aG

YUMA, Ariz., Dec 9.-Ihe old de-
serted town of La Paz, at one time
the largest city in Arizona and the
county seat of Yuma county, will
again become a thriving settlement if
the plans of a placer mining company
are carried out. The company, which
holds placer claims covering several
sections of land along the Colorado
large scale shortly after the first Of,
the year, and contemplates the in
stallation of a $4,000 hydraulic plant
early next spring.
This is not the first time that an
effort has been made to revive the
old producing placer mines of the La
Paz district. Three years ago the
company was all ready to begin op-
erations, when the United States gov
ernment extended the boundary of the
Colorado river Indian reservation so
as to include the claims. Since that
time the men behind the company
have been working to obtain an ad-
justment of the boundary which
would enable them to go ahead and
develop their rich holdings, and their
efforts have just been rewarded. Last
week a telegram was received from
Washington advising the company
that it could proceed.
The old La Paz placer mines were
at one time among the greatest pro-
ducers in the west, and during the
seventies millions of dollars worth of
gold was taken from the ground by
crude methods The New La .Paz
Gold Mining company, which holds
the claims, proposes to wash the
same gravel again, at a cost not to
exceed three cents a yard.

GERMAN PIPt Line
u CONQUER DESERT

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-That Syria
Germans and Turks against the Eng
lish forces protecting Egypt is the
belief of memoers of the Syrian
colony here. News has come through
devious channels to the Syrians in
America that great preparations have
been made in their home country for
some sort of operations. Private ad-
vices received here say that the
Turks, with the assistance of German
engineers, are pushing railroad
toward Suez over $50 miles of desert
and are paralleling it with water
pipe line. Cable advices from time
to time have referred to such efforts
but the project was supposed to have
been abandoned when the attack on
the Dardanelles began.
The tracts of sand to be traversed
correspond to the wilderness in
which the children of Israel wandered,
according to the Old Testament mar
rative. The Turkish government, ac-
cording to a well-informed Syrian
here, is denuding the country in order
to put through military measures.
The beauty of Palestine and of Syria
is being destroyed, he claims. The
Turks have cut down the olive trees
and other valuable trees. to keep their
railroads supplied with fuel. In
Syria there is no coal to be had and
petroleum is very scarce. The finest
woods are going under the locomotive
boilers, say the local Syrians and the
sacred cedars of Lebanon are doomed,
if not already consumed.

WAR AND THE BIRDS

The war is having very little effect
upon bird life in the battle zones of
Europe, according to the Audubon
Society of the District of Columbia.
1t seems a strange fact, for the
natural supposition might be that of
all animal life the birds would be the
first to desert any area devastated by
shot and shell and disturbed by an
almost continuous roar of gun-fire.
But it is said that the vast majority
of wild birds have followed their Or
binary habits regardless of the
changed conditions. A few owls,
storks, swallows and other birds that
nest about buildings, finding their ac-
customed homes destroyed, have
sought other quarters, apparently not
disconnected by the fearful disturb
ance. The bird chorus at sunrise is
commonly regarded as symbolic of
peaceful conditions, but it continues
as usual in the environment of war;
woods daily riddled with bullets re-
sound with the songs of the night
ingales, thrushes and blackbirds; after
fierce night engagements in which
artillery and infantry have taken
heavy toll of human life, at dawn the
usual peaceful chorus has been heard
floating over the corpse-strewn bat
tlefield; pheasants and partridges
have been strutting unconcernedly
about an orchard situated directly be-
tween the opposing lines and often
swept by the rifle and artillery fire;
and the song of a soaring skylark
has been heard in a moments cessa-
ton of the thunder of cannonading."
Instead of being alarmed by the ap
palling din, the shot-filled air and the
destruction of their familiar trees, the
birds seem to have shown less fear
than in ordinary times, often nesting
directly in the trenches and even feed
ing from the hands of the soldiers.
The game birds in France are said
to have displayed an unwonted tame
ness owing to omission of the usual
hunting. Fearful as the war is, it
seems to have brought to the birds
less cause for anxiety and terror than
they experienced in times of peace.
Do, hans thair a1amantaI Sanca of won :
der and surprise is stirred by the vast
bspectacle of slaughter, and they may
be amazed by the appalling enterprise
in which that curious animal man,
is now engaged, but evidently they
realize that for some inexplicable rea-
son the death dealing activities are
not intended for them and that war
for man means peace for birds.

and is being accomplished by the ex-
listing small but efficient army of the
United States. Secretary Garrison
calls attention to one phase of this
work in his letter to General Funston
in which he praises that officer and
his men in the highest terms for their
conduct during the recent critical
situation on the Mexican border.
Many Americans have been impa-
tient with our Mexican policy. They
have thought it intolerable that we
should be insulted and derided by
bands of Mexicans and that American
citizens should oe murdered with i'm
punity. But as long as a state of
war does not exist, it is of the utmost
Importance that the American soldiers
along the border between the two
countries should not do anything that
would involve us in an armed con-
flict.
The situation might we'll be COM
pared to a man standing over
powder magazine with lighted
match in his hand. A single mis-
take, a single false move might
cause an explosion which would he
the beginning of a bloody war. AS
the secretary Of war so justly says,
the situations dealt with called for
such a high degree of sound judg-
ment, wise discretion and absolute
self control, that it is remarkable that
no untoward incident occurred.
The secretary says that General
Funston has not only reflected credit
upon himself, but upon the army and
the people of the United States. Sec
retary Garrison only regrets that the
knowledge of these good qualities are
not more widespread. He may rest
assured that his words have helped to
give the soldiers the credit which they
so richly deserve.

cHINA's CHANGE

China's impending transition from
a republic to a monarchy is briefly
discussed in the December number of
the Americas" and it is assumed
that the change is certain to be
made. 1t is said that the dominat-
ing consideration in China today
among all classes who take an in
terest in public affairs is the estab-
lishment of strong government
which will unite the country against
foreign aggression. This is supposed
to explain recent political events in
that country. There is in China, the
article says. considerable body of
citizens, small in it's relation to the
entire population, but influential,
which has been educated abroad or
by other means imbued with the spirit
of modern progress. While many of
these would like to see China remain
a republic, they recognize the i'm
portance of having strong and well
established government. AS to condi-
tions in China this writer says:
The republican constitution and
methods are a source of weakness
where the forms only are observed,
without any real participation by the
people. An election" in which there
is no free. independent action by the
masses is almost certain to degener-
ate into a trial of strength between
military leaders and the factions that
adhere to them. with the results that
are seen in Mexico.
We who have lived closed to Mexico
and have become familiar with the
methods by which administrations
change there and in some of the other
republics of this hemisphere under
stand how much truth there is in the
quotation given above. Yuan Shi Kai
has been president of the Chinese Re-
public for four years and he has
proven himself strong and able man.
He is a vigorous man, in his early
sixties. and his oldest son is well edu-
Gated and respected man of affairs.
To continue Yuan at the head of the
government as emperor instead of as
president would be to avoid the con-
fusion and risks of an uncertain sue
cession. Many of the educated and
progressive Cinnamon believe that the
government will be strengthened by
providing that. at Yuan's death. power
shall pass down the family line auto
matically.
Sentiment in this country favors the
republican form of government, but

THE HELPFUL RED CROSS


So well known and so thoroughly
approved is the work of the Amer
lean Red Cross by the people of
Arizona, that the sale of Red
Cross Christmas stamps in this
state is sure to be most encourag-
ing. All over the world the Red Cross
has gone with its trained workers
and it's material succor. Floods, fires,
pestilences and wars have called for
it's helpful ministrations. and it has
never failed 1t has always been
generously backed by the people of
America, and there is scarcely a
country in the world that is not in
its debt
Particularly has the Red Cross
shown its value of late, for the dis
aster of the European war during the
past year has placed a -severer strain
upon the humanity of Europe than
nurses, doctors. food and money have
been placed freely at the disposal of
the stricken nations, and in dispens-
ing its help the Red Cross has known
no race, no religion and no nation.
Its great resources have been at the
call of all who needed help, no mat
ter in what country they may live or
to whom they may give allegiance.
1t is a splendid humanitarian enter
prise and it has a wonderfully eff
cient organization.
The sale of Red Cross stamps in
this state should be supported by
every citizen. Eighty-five per cent
of the fund derived from the sale of
the stamps goes to support St. Luke's
Hospital for tuberculosis in Phoenix,
the remaining fifteen per cent goes
to the national fund We should all
see that the Christmas packages we
send carry one or more of these
stamps
