Novogeorgievsk Weakens

Besides this enveloping movement
Immediately east Of Warsaw. Berlin
reports a steady hammeriug at the
great Russian fortresses Of Lomeza.
the chief significance Of which is their
proximity to the lines of railway COM
municatons to Petrograd. Novogeor-
sievsk is the only place west of War
saw at which a Russian garrison re-
mains, and its fall seems imminent.
The Problem Of Poles
The attitude Of the Poles towards
the new German regime is arousing
deep interest, as the occupation Of
Warsaw unites for the first time three
branches Of the Poles heretofore d.
vided among Russia, Germany and
Austria. Under the Russian regime.
Poland has been hotbed of disorder.
and it remains to be seen whether
control Of this occupied territory will
be as difficult a problem for Germany
as it has been for Russia.
Tho Hoose Engagement
The official report characterized the
operations around HODGE as a battle"
but Sir John French's later report
shows them to be another trench
fight. preceded by a severe artillery
exchange and resulting in the re-
capture by the British of nearly a mile
Of trenches previously taken by the
Germans. This has served to divert
public attention temporarily from the
magnitude Of the German sweep in the
Eastern field. but operations in the
West still lack general significance.

Disturbs Conference

! The development is very disturb
ing one for the success of the Pan
American conference. Officials who
were hoping CarTanZa would join a
peace conference with his adversaries
and meet the efforts Of the Pan-Amer-
| lean nations to settle the factional
strife were much disappointed.
1t is said by Carranza agents that
neither the Guatemalan nor the Bra
lillian had been on good terms with

re-occupied Mexico City The partici-
patton Of Brazil and Guatemala in the
Pan-American conference, they said
brought CarranZas resentment to a
climax. l was recalled that Castro,
the dictator of Venezuela, took much
the same action when offended by for

Of affairs in MS country.

State department aGvices today said
Carranza was making hurried prepara-
tons TO move his capital from Vera Cruz
to Mexico City Archives and clerks had

The impression in Mexican circles here is
that CarranZa proposes to establish HIM
self in Mexico City and probably pro-
claim himself provisional president in
the face Of the Pan-American effort to
bring the factions together

No American Representation
Secretary Lansing said he was consid-

would be done. He assumed. however,
that American diplomatic affairs would

MILITIA CAUSES ANNUAL
LOSS OF THOUSANDS

Continued from FIRST page).
The state officials bring pressure to
bear at Washington. Senators and
representatives besiege the war de-
partment. Governors and adjutant
generals declare that the national
guard will go out of business unless
the full government funds are given.
Some states have even gone to the ex-
tent of threatening to disband the
national guard. In fact, the militia
of one state was mustered out be-
cause of insuficiency of equipment
and reinstated after federal funds
had been sent on.
Uses Diplomacy.
The present secretary of war is
said to be the personification of di-
plomacy in dealing with the situa-
ton. He endeavors to "hold out" on
a debtor state part of it's allotment,
to partially pay for the previous loss
es of equipment. In this way he Sc
cures partial reimbursement at least.
If the pressure is too strong or
if he thinks a state simply cannot
maintain it's militia with any cur
tailment of it's federal appropriation,
the secretary makes no attempt to
force it to pay for the .dead horse"
A system something like that in
vogue in Switzerland or Germany is
favored by some army officials as a
remedy for the loss of militia, sup
plies, but they doubt if applied to
the red blooded, independence-nur-
tured young American, it would work
out as we'll in practice as in theory
In those countries each reserve"
private is held strictly responsible
for his equipment. In Switzerland
frequent inspections at the homes
of the national guard are made. Sep
arate lockers for privates in Germany
are provided. In Switzerland the in
spectors visit the homes of the
guardsmen, to see if rifles are polish
ed, shoes polished and uniforms in
condition for instant service.
Imagine what would happen if
we were to turn over to our Amer

liqht and the Skin.

When rays of light fall upon the skin
of our bodies, which is translucent, the
greater part of them are arrested, some
by one layer Of the skin, some by an
other, and still others are not stopped
until they have penetrated the subcu-
taneous tissues. This arrest of the
light rays produces radiant heat, which
has a higher penetrating power than
convection heat as generated by a hot
water bag or poultice, for instance.
e. G. Titus in an address before the
Illuminating Engineering society said
that such heat penetrated two inches
or more, while convection heat was ex-
cited principally on the surface.
This is why electric light baths and
sun baths are so stimulating to the Or
gans of elimination, especially the skin
and kidneys, and so beneficial in SO
many diseases.-New York World.

boycotted the slim lads by any
means, but it has so happened that
he has in the main filled his ranks
with the boys who had to battle the
cops for their first baseball expert
ence. He never made a speciality Of
rObbing the educational institutions
as has Connie Mack and Branch
Hickey.
But this year, with the weight of
seven other clubs bearing down on
him from above, he had to do some-
thing. So Sinister Dick Kinsella
has been delving in the moss covered

some of the most likely looking of
the crew. The fact that Connie
Mack was after the last two named,
undoubtedly moved McGraw to show
little speed in grabbing them.

There has been much speculation
in tanning circles lately, whether or
not this reversal of McGraw's policy
means he is going to enter the field
against Hickey and Mack for the
freshwater school players. One thing
certain, it was up to him to do some
thing, with his 1915 machine look
ing like the we'll known Flivver, hit

BIG COMPANIES
 EXTENDING HOLDINGS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 J. B. Cooper, sales engineer for the Allis- Chalmers Manufacturing Com pany, with headquarters in Fl Paso, was in Prescott yesterday. Seen at his hotel and asked as to his impress sions with reference to the mining outlook in the Southwest, based on information obtained from his min ing customers, he stated that there was undoubtedly an uplook to busi- ness.
 His house, he said, was receiving numerous inquiries from dealers in machinery and placing more orders now, averaged by the week, than since the commencement of the Euro pean war and demoralization of the copper market. He does not look for the present Aattering prices of copper to decrease. On the other hand, it is his opinion that they will continue to increase until the market will assume a steady trend at price which will insure greater profits in the business than ever before known in the history of the United States, He says that today throughout the country the leading copper compan ies are gaining control, on the quiet, of all the smaller properties avail able. The real status of the copper business as to the future is being kept under cover as much as possible by these companies for the purpose of enabling them to gain control of ad- ditional properties as cheaply as pos sible. It is the belief that with the return to normal conditions will come an era of development of new properties the equal of which this country has never seen.

 This property attracted very much attention a few years ago, from its close association to Rich Hill, which produced many thousands in inplacer gold, and the theory of mining en- gineers is that the source of this yield will be traced to quartz condition, if sufficient exploration is given.

 During his absence the county su- perintendent paid official attention to the Congress, Thompson valley, Kirk land and Skull valley schools.
 The Congress school is the only one in Yavapai county where the pupils are transported to and from the school house by a conveyance from a distance. Pupils there are talk en in a covered hack each day from Congress Junction, some distance from the school house. Mir Miller says that Miss Joan Collins, as prin- cipa1, and Miss Adah Raber, teacher, are doing splendid work and have a school of which the people of the dis trict can well feel proud.
 The Thompson valley school is prospering finely under the tutorship of Miss Mary Campbell. At Kirk land exceptionally good work is be- ing done by Miss Susie Mahoney, and the school at Skull valley is making creditable progress under the guild ance of Miss Maude Boylson.

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 While not interested in this sec ton of Arizona, but having the wei fare of the range industry at heart, as it affects so many hundreds of thousands of cattle, the prevailing foot and mouth epidemic in the East, is attaining widespread alarm as a possible nationwide affliction among livestock" said Roland V. Jurginson, cattle buyer from Omaha, who is passing through the city for Phoenix, and is to remain for a few days to make observations of the resources in this section.
 Jurginson, states he was in Pennsyl- vania livestock centers early this and late last month, when he learned that over 10000 cattle had been killed that were afflicted with this disease. In other Middle Western states the loss was also heavy, and the quarantine had been extended to as far west as Kansas. The visitor estimates that over 5000 cattle and several thou sand horses have been afflicted, and killed.
 The epidemic, Jurginson states, is easily scattered, and Arizona range men should be diligent to have all livestock carrying cars disinfected, be- fore loading begins, no matter what the destination of the shipment may be He recites one possible instance, that of the disease appearing in feed grounds of the Salt River valley that would entail the loss of huge sum, and sooner or later the infection would spread to the ranges outlying that region.

DECIDE TO WORK ON
 BIG DAM AT NIGHT
(From WednesdaY's Daily.l )

To rush the dam Of the Hassayam- pa Alfalfa Farms Company to com pletion as rapidly as possible, occa- stoned a change of plans to be adopt ed yesterday, by which night crew is to be placed at work in few days.
 This movement is designed to avoid further delays in construction, since two heavy floods have passed down Granite creek during the past month, causing a general suspension of oper- ations. Dam building was resumed on Monday, and yesterday the work had again made good headway. The machinery in the creek bed has been abandoned. however, as it is yet sub merged. Chief Engineer Cookinham stated yesterday the two gates had arrived, as well was there on the ground all material and supplies nec- essary to complete the structure. The new base Of operations is on high ground where new plants have been erected, and no further delays are anticipated.
 Yesterday the eight-foot square outlet in the dam was still carrying away the accumulated flood waters of last Thursdays storm, and from the fact of this opening being over ten feet above the surface of the stream at normal flow, some idea of the tremendous amount of water stored, may be learned.
 In the land department, work also was started yesterday ill canal dig ging, and will go ahead energetically to start developing the large acreage coincident with the dam being conn pleted. The rye planted several weeks ago is in a thrifty state, and with the irrigation extended in the dry months of the coming summer, the initial crop will be a successful demonstra- ton of the fertility of the soil.
