Douglas, Ariz.-Villa troops invad'

and the expected attack against the
Carranza garrison apparently Is mat

invaders halted three and half miles
east of Rgua Prieta.
Gen. Francisco Villa, who arrived
at the international border several
miles further east few hours earlier
talked with Americans across the
boundary and announced that he in
tended to attack the Mexican town

troops might take.

General Villa learned for the first
time that permission had been given
by the United States government for
Carranza to move troops through

TlONs ISSUED.
NEUTRALITY Is MAIN TOPIC
Both British and German Authorities
complain.--Lansing Always Had
Unanswcrable Reply.

Washington.-A second installment
OF the United States Governments
White Book has been issued by the
state department 1t contains i'm
portant diplomatic correspondence
with the belligerent governments of
europe since the publication of the
hrst installment last May
Besides constituting a public record
OF the position of the United States
as precedent for the future, the vol
ume reveals a series of charges and
counter-charges by the belligerents
that reflect the difficulties con stantly
encountered in observing neutrality.
one OF the most interesting features
Is the publication for the first time of
memorandum of the German For
eign office referred TO in colloquy
between Chairman Flood of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee and Rep
resentative Bartholdt of Missouri, at
the hearing on the bills proposing an
embargo on arms. Mr.. Flood quoted
ment that Germany did not hold ship
ments of munitions to the Allies as
illegal. The correspondence with the
German Government developed as a
consequence of ruling by the United
states that 1T was q violation Of neu-
trality for merchant ships to leave
American ports for the express pur-
pose Of supplying belligerent warships
at sea.

MADE A NEW COAL RECORD
Last Years Production Of 7,1s6,91s
Tons, the Greatest in History
of the State.

Kansas produced more coal in the
year which ended June 80, 1914, than
in any previous year. The report Of
Francis Keegan, state mine inspector,
shows that the years production has
amounted to 7,1S6,91S tons. The pro-
duction in the year ending June 3d.
1913, which broke all previous records,
was 7,090,579. The development of
the strip pit operations probably is
responsible for the increase.
In and around the Kansas coal
mines during the last fiscal year,
l2,498 men we're employed. Thirty
four men lost their lives at their work
One for every 211, $3.50 tons OF coal
produced or for every 1858 men en-
ployed
Throughout the year 483,244 tons of
coal were produced by the steam SHOW
el strip pits. Fourteen companies,
each owning from one to five big
shovels, were operating. Employment
was given to 5S1 men and the pits
worked an average of 173 days. The
increase in output in Crawford county
in the last fiscal year was 449, 233 tons
over the preceding year, and it is
credited to the strip pits.
There was an increase of six fatal
accidents in the fiscal year 1914 over
the fiscal year 1913. Inspector Kee-
san points out that the falling of a
cDpn at tho Cnannor Nowlnnd D1inn at
January IA, 1914, is respoa-
sible for this increase. Six men lost
their lives in that accident. The
breaking of rope let a cage fall to
y e bottom of the shaft.
Inspector Keegan makes a plea f)r
the installation Of mechanical shot
firing devices.

fected the conscious life of a race SO
deeply as has the German Rhine.
Rising in the highest Alps in cen
trail Europe, the Rhine reaches the
North pea after a journey of $50
miles, and the last part of its course
is through a lowland whose surface
is below the tides crest. The river
gathers its water at the base of melt
ing glaciers, plunges over great rock
masses toward its lower levels, cuts
through the widest mountain valleys,
traverses wonderful high, broad
plain, and then, entering its famous
gorge, wanders through exquisite pan
Dramas, through lane everywhere
mantled with ruins of historic castles,
abbeys, churches, and every foot of
its way celebrated by legend or his
tory. After emerging from its gorge,
it flows through plain where power
full steel, textile and chemical indus
tries center. Through Germany and
Holland the Rhine forms the principal
water avenue of central and western
Europe, and an enormous commerce
is handled through its ports.
The Rhine is international. 1t is
divided between Switzerland, Ger
many and Holland. That part of the
river which lies in Germany, 450
miles in length, has been most dis
puted. The French have laid claim

GREATLY IMPROVED
PEPPER VARIETIES
New Upright Sweet Salad Is of
Recent Observation-Disclosures
DuIce Is Largest.

Green peppers are fine. They can
be grown on any good garden soil, but
should not be put out till the ground
is warm. The varieties of peppers,
unlike the egg plant are numerous,
and therefore have been greatly i'm
proved of late years. The New Up
right Sweet Salad is of recent intro
duction. 1t is bright scarlet in color,
mild and sweet,
.Magnum Dulce is by far the largest
pepper in cultivation, and the most
prolific; no other variety gives such
large specimens. 1t is very sweet and
perfectly reliable.
Ruby King is one of the standards
and has for many years been deserv-
ing of first place among the varieties
Of peppers, but in many respects it is
not equal to the above-described kinds.
Chinese Giant is very large, but not
as prolific as some Of the other large
varieties.

sea within the confines Of the most
Independent canton in Switzerland.
On its way the Rhine is fed, directly
and indirectly, by 10000 tributaries,
and it drains more than $4,000 square
miles. Where the Rhine enters Ger
many, at Basic, it is about 900 ieet
broad, and, for the smallest river
boats, navigation begins here. There
is a project to make the Rhine navi-
gable from Basic to its source for
larger lighters and small steamboats,.
Lovers of natural beauty mention
the German Rhine and the American
Hudson in the same breath. The
Rhine, however, has many traits in
common with the American Mislds-
sippi. It is Europe's most important
river, 1t drains one of the greatest in
dustrial regions on earth, and IL is
one of the main factors in Germ an
commercial development. Moreover,
the great timber RATS upon the Mis-
sissippi, as Mark TWAIN describes
them, can be seen in season floating
down the Rhine. Some of these rufts
are 800 feet in length, and are guided
down the river by more than two hun
dred men who live upon them in little
huts, whole village adrift. They
closely resemble the RATS Which
Huck Finn met in his travels down
the American river
