 Beer, according to the company'a applies tion. has ceased to move from Prescott, and the Mile High city being no loonger on the map as a point of origin, the tariffs are to be stricken out. Rates on ice from the Prescott brewery will be retained.

SHORTAGE r 0OD SUPPLIES 1 N
 PANAMA

PANAMA, July 22.-An investiga. ton ordered by Lieut.. Col. Chester Harding, U. s. A., acting governor of the Panama Canal has developed the information that no more than 30 days supplies of foodstufYs are avail. able in the Republic of Panama ana the Canal Zone. The results of the investigation have been compiled into lengthy tabulated report which has been sent to the War Department at Washington.
 Most of the available supplies are stored in the two cities of Panama and Colon. The stores available in the provincial districts are estimated sufficient for the interior population for perhaps six months. This is due to the fact that the merchants in the interior order larger quantities of staples than do the city merchants because of the lack of transportation The report also brought out the infor. nation that there are probably 4OO,- 900 head of cattle within the borders Of the country but that they would not be immediately available owing to the difficulties of transportation to the canal cities.
 The investigation was made with the view of ascertaining just how long the available food supplies would last in case of trouble between the United States and some foreign power which might be able to prevent the impor tation of food stuffs into the Panama Republic and thus the Canal Zone.

BOUNTY CLAIMED ON
 THREE WOLF PELTS

Although the government has re- gently appropriated $20,000 to be used as bounty for wolf skins, at the rate of s10 apiece. so far only three pelts have been turned in at the office of the Territorial Treasurer. One oi these comes from Sulzer and the two others from Howkan. Several other applicants for bounty have been made but have not as yet been granted on account of failure to comply with the law, which requires that the pelt and ulna radius be sent to the office of the Treasurer together with an affi davit stating that the two signers have seen the pelt and ulna radius in ques tion. This affidavit must bear the seal of a notary public. Frequently the animal Is killed In some out of the way district where neither notary nol witnesses are available, and in such cases the matter requires an investi gation on the part of the Treasurer office before the bounty is paid.

HOW GERMANY |S SECURING | I 5
 F0ODSTUFFS

LONDON, July 22. - Enormous quantities of foodstuffs are pouring into Germany through Switzerland, according to Nj. Jacques Dhur, a French expert in international law.
 It seems that convention ratified between France and Switzerland on July 26, 1914, provides that in case of war, France shall supply the federal government of Switzerland with 300,. 900 tons of cereals year. According to M. Dhur, 100 trucks, each loaded with between twelve and fifteen tons of cereals, cross the French frontier every day for the Cornavlan station at Geneva, while in ordinary times the monthly exports did not exceed 4,0UO or 5000 tons. At the same time enorm- ous quantities of potatoes. beans, oil, and other vegetable products are passing into Switzerland via Pon. tarlier.
 To prevent commerce In contraband. all merchandise is forwarded to a par. ticular department or province of the Swiss Confederation. NJ. Duhr, in his investigations of this distribution, found that a considerable proportion of the supplies went to Angst, close to the frontier point where the Ger man and Swiss railway systems are linked up.
 After discussion of various alleged methods of smuggling supplies through to Germany. RI. Duhr adds that Ger. many has also been able to revictual herself plentifully through Italy. Mer- chandise was sent from an Italian port to Switzerland, and on It's way to Chisso. between the Swiss and the Italian customs, the word Transit was added to its label In this way hundreds of trains of rice and other products have reached Germany. The Gothard line. by its charter, Is bound to give favored treatment to goods passing between Germany and Italy, and these foods were conveyed in con cealed trucks. The line become so eongested that the Federal Railways had to make use of the Simplon sys- tenn.

WARN ING ISSUED
 ID BRITISH FIRMS

LONDON, July 22.-The British government, through the Board of Trade, has warned all British commer. cial firms that they will be expected to exercise the most scrupulous care in the transaction of their business abroad, during the period of the war. so as to avoid any likelihood of mak. ing themselves agents for the supply of goods to hostile countries. 'It is inadvisable," says the official circular, 1 that any new accounts should be opened by any British trader in neu- tral countries without the fullest in- quiries as to the character of the busi- ness proposed to him"
 The circular explains that traders in neutral countries are in many cases engaged either directly or indirectly in trade with the enemies of the Entente allies. British firms, there fore, must survey with great caution every opening for business which is offered them by neutral importers or exporters" It is added that "the proclamations relating to trading with the enemy cover indirect trading through neutral agents, and careless ness in transacting neutral business may involve traders in the severe penalties attaching to trading with the enemy"

JAPAN INCREASES STRENGTH OF
 AR M '

TOXIC, July 22.-Having received authority from the Diet, the govern ment Is already making preparations for the creation of two additional divi- sions in the army. They will be To- cated in Korea, one at Seoul or Pingyang and the other at Ranan. This strengthening of the army, which has been a thorny political question for several years, is a great victory for the army influences of which Marshall Prince Yamagata is the head. The announcement by Count Okuma. the premier, and General Oka, minister of war, that the increase was but the beginning of plan to create military force of twenty-five divi- sions was really made ten years ago and is supposed to have had the sane. tion of Emperor Mutsuhito. Just when the plan was to be carried out was not fixed but the recent announce ment of the ministers is interpreted to mean that the work will go forward. The present Japanese army includes eighteen regular divisions and one division of household guards.
 The pending increase has been justi- fled by Count Okuma on the ground that the actual conditions in the world do not permit Japan to neglect her defense program. On the other hand, the expansion of Japanese in- fluence in Southern Manchuria and in Eastern-Inner Mongolia which was em- phasized by the recent treaties with China constitutes another justification. from the Japanese standpoint, for strengthening the land forces.
 Everybody realizes that the in- crease means an extra burden upon the people but no protest is heard. The matter having been decided by the Diet, is accepted by the people at large as a necessary step in the de- velopment of their country and as an assurance that Japan may be able to hold her place as a victorious, first class power case of attack. More over the great war has aroused the leaders of Japanese thought to the conviction that Japan must be strong If she would maintain her place in the world and that her future in the Far East does not permit any back ward step in military power or prowess.
 The creation of two army divisions will require the expenditure of about 12,0OO,OO0 yen (s6,OOo,OO0) from the national treasury extended over seven years and beginning with the expendi- ture of 477,000 yen in the current year, The yearly outlay will increase until 1t becomes 3,000,000 yen in 1918 Then 1t falls until in 1921 1t reaches 4O2,OOO yen.
 In addition, the sum of about 30000,000 yen will be required to main tain the two divisions pending the completion of their organization. The amounts to be disbursed range from 241,OOO yen in 1915 to 100000 yen in 1921. After 1921 the amount required for the maintainance of the divisions is estimated at about 100000 yen a year.
 Governor-General Terauchi has al ways considered the extra forces necessary for the safety of the coun- try and it is largely through his per severance that the present expansion has been brought about.
