BRITISH COURTESY

BRITISH HEADQ'T'BS, France July 3.-One of the first considera. tions of the British army officials is the avoidance of all friction with the inhabitants of the occupied districts of France and the maintenance of most cordial relations with the French sol diers. A principal factor in keeping on good terms with the allied army has been the steadfast insistence on the courtesies of discipline
 Military etiquette, for example, de- mands that when a party of British officers are saluted by a British pri- vate, only the superior officer ock- nowledges the salute. When how. ever, the salute is given by a French private, the acknowledgement is made by all of the officers. "The idea is, " a staff officer explained that by this act of courtesy We daily show to the French our consciousness that that if we are their allies. we are also guests of their country And where the officers give the lead, the men are quick to follow"

DECORATIONS MADE.

NANCY, July 3.-On one of the plateaus of French Lorraine where the French made a heroic resistance to the invading forces in September, General Johre recently reviewed the division of cavalry commanded by General Humbert He conferred a number of decorations but left to Gen eneral Humbert, himself, the duty of pinning the cross of the Legion of Honor the breast of his son, Jean Humbert, a hero of only 19 years Of age, doubtless the youngest wearer of the coveted red ribbon.

MACHINE GUNS CROWD
 RIFLES OUT OF WAR
Military Experts Say That Day of Small Arm Has
 Passed.

ROTTERDAM, July 3.-Military cX- perts here are of the opinion that it is highly probable the present war will see the end of the rifle as the princi- pal weapon of infantry.
 According to German agents in Hol. land the German army is rapidly sub stituting men armed with machine guns in place of rifles. Men so armed and protected by concrete works and wire entanglements can hold off a long line of the enemy. The tendency it is said, is to gring up main forces of infantry only in emergencies.
 At the beginning of the war, Ger { many was credited with having 5O,OOO some heavy losses of these weapons, the factories have been working day and night and it is now asserted that the number being used on the various fronts is twice that total
 | A German agent in Rotterdam state ! Germany's case as follows
 Military science develops so rap idly in times of actual war that the weapon of today soon is discarded and something better taken up. The l greatest asset Germany possess is hel ability to see ahead and make today the weapon of tomorrow.
 With the enemy, the rifle IS a sorf of fetish. The English are highly e lated because the war has shown tha their men can shoot straighter ana quicker than the Germans. There fl little cause for triumph. A large par of the time spent in training theh troops is spent in teaching them tn, | construction and use of the rifle, while our men are being taught how to handle and serve the mashine gun
 "The present war will see the enC of many things as it has seen tho birth of many things,and although the rifle may not disappear befor,

.BAVARIA'S KING HINTS
 GERMAN EXP PANSI0N
Talks About the Fruits of Victory in Strengthening the
 Empire

MUNICH, July 3.-The king of Ba- varia has just delivered a speech at the Bavarian Canal Society which is attracting attention as the first note worthy expression from any of the rul- CTS of Germany looking toward an eX- tension of Germany's boundaries as the result of the war. After referlkl lg to what has been accomplished by German arms since the war began. the King expressed his especial satis- faction over this because 'iu the gen eral settlement of accounts with our enemies we can at least hope to se- cure for South and West Germany more favorable connections with the ocean"
 The King went on to say that the blood already shed in the war shall not have been shed in vain. The fruit of our victory shah consist in strengthening the German Empire and extending its borders so far as this may be necessary 10 guarantee us a. gainst future attacks" These words have everywhere been accepted as meaning that Germany intends to re- tain either the whole of Belgium, or at least the northern part of it, so as to give German Antwerp and cOmmu- nication with it over wholly German territory. This is in line with a pro- ject that has already been consider ably discussed in western Germany, of building a ship canal between Ant werp and the Rhine, so as to give that stream a German outlet to the sea The economic argument in favor Of such a scheme-apart from the cheap ness of canal transportation-is that nearly all of the iron and steel e1 ports from the great lower Rhine re zion find their way to the high seas by way of Antwerp.
 The subject of immediate interest before the Canal Society at the meet Ing in question was the construction of a large canal connecting the uppel Main with the Danube, a project thai has been under consideration for som, years. The King in his speech as sured the Society that his government
 would do everything possible to carry through the project As soon, he said as the canal connecting the Danub' with the Main at Bamberg should b' 1 completed, the government would take steps to improve the Main anC make it navigable between there ana Aschaffenburg. the point to whici
 large barges can at present ascend.

VALIDITY OF LYMAN'S
 JUDGESHIP DOUBTFUL
Question Raised That Making of Appointment Was Not in
 Legislative Call.

PHOENIX, July g. Although F. H. Lyman has qualified and assumed the active discharge of the duties of his new position as second judge in Maricopa county, the question of the validity of his appointment seems still open to question and it is said that an effort will be made to have the courts declare his nomination invalid.
 The chief reason urged is that the making of the appointment was not specifically mentioned in the call for the special session of the state leg islature. The call did contain men tion of a proposed bill to enable a judge from an outside county to be called on to sit concurrently with the local judge in cases of necessity. This bill was clearly unconstitutional and it's passage was never urged
 The power of the governor to ap- point is not expressly conferred by the recent bill and it is claimed in some quarters that no such power vests in the governor or acting gov ernor. The constitutional provision gives the governor or acting governor power to fill vacancies by appoint ment but it is claimed that, in this case, no vacancy" existed and that in the absence of an express provi- sion in the statute as passed there was no authority vested in Acting Governor Osborn to make the ap- pointment.
 The matter is a purely technical one, but it has been urged that un

peaceis signed, it's doom as the prin' cipal arm of infantry is sounded
 Where is there any sound argu. ment against the gradual substitution of the light machine gun for therifle? After all, a Maxim is merely an im- proved automatic rifle with a water jacket A man who could fire a kick ing gun of the period of 1915 could and carry a Maxim with less effort. Are we-not told that in the old days the concentrated fire on one side of an English square emptied less than a score of French saddles at effec- tive range? One modern machine gun would have wiped out the whole squadron.

game no not propose letting the opPor-

Bills on the subject already have

visions in general are for a state box
