editorials for the Journal we read
with great admiration a placard Of

1t was a CHEEKY spiel about laugh

good stuff But at the end, 1t
went too far, 1t may have told the
truth, but it made bad advertising
for a railroad passenger depart

ST.

 Any man is a fool who thinks he can evade this law when the revenue officers are diligent" the judge con- tinued. The sentences ranged from thirty days in jail to three years in federal prison, carrying fines of from s1000 to s3,000.
 Eight of these 27 men were con- victed by juries and IS pieaded guilty Most of the men were fined s3,000. and Lester H. Kennedy. who the presiding judge said, was the 1ingleader and corrupted the others, was sentenced to three and one half years and fined $10000.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The diplo- matic phases of the proposed purchase of ships by the United States were widely discussed as result of the pub lication of a report that Sir Edward Grey had informed the state depart ment that such purchases if including German and Austrian ships, would be regarded as constituting an unneutra
 act. It was stated positively at the state department as well as at the British embassy that no communica- tion official or otherwise on the sub ject had been received from Sir Ed ward Not only had the American gov ernment not asked or received formal views of Great Britain, but no express sion of an official character had come either from Russia or France.
 Democratic Leader Underwood made a statement in the house denying in the name of the state department that Great Britain had given official notice that it would regard as unneutraf the purchase of interned German and Aus trian vessels under the pending ship bill. He referred to a story published today saying a written statement to that effect was in possession of Sec 1 retary Bryan from Sir Edward Grey. There has been. however, intimation in an informal way from Great Britain chase of German and Austrian ships.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPA1cHl


 FLEETWOOD, England, Jan. 3OThe German submarine 21 torpedoed the British steamer Ben Cruachen off here today. The submarine commander ordered the crew of twenty off the ship and then torpedoed the vessel.
 The same German submarine is re- ported to have sunk two other yes sels in the vicinity where the Ben Cruachen went down.
 It was established that at least one other vessel besides the Cruachen was sunk by the German submarine when trawler landed eleven mem bers of the crew of the Linda Blanche, which was on it's way from Manchester to Belfort A submarine suddenly appeared and the officers, in perfect English, ordered the crew to leave the steamer. There is much excitement over the appearance of the German raider in the Irish sea on the west coast of England and north of Liverpool.
 After the. crew left the Linda Blanche, the Germans attached a mine to the bridge and another to the forecastle. The mines were then ex- ploded, destroying the ship. The Ger mans told the British sailors they could find trawler by sailing in cer tain directions and the crew was pick ed up when the fishing boat was

Damage by the high water that followed one of the quickest and most copious rains Arizona has had in many years, was not as severe as was reported yesterday Broken ditches, flooded fields. one or two in stances of houses being mositened are the sum total on the deoit side of the ledger, while the balance on the other page is so large that mo- body is regretting the high water very much.
 Hurts to the canal system were found to be less outrageous than it was at first thought. Exceeding wat CTS from Cave Creek wash showed long stretches of the Arizona canal warped by the flood, structures de- prived of backfil and fields to the south swept bare of borders.
 But the worst damage to the sNs- tenn was at the Joint head dam half
