Sidelights on the European War

! London.-(Corresp of The
/ Associated Press For the first time
since the outbreak of the war the Brit
/ ish press is admitting that the French
people are a little puzzled about the
slowness of Great Britain in throwing
men into the fighting line. A vigorous
campaign OF education to promote mu-
( tual understanding is what is needed,
according TO the Paris correspondent
| of the Times; and he hints that the
recent visit to England of NJ. Miller
and, the French minister of war, will
be an encouragement in this direc-
ton.
1T is hard" says this writer, ito ex-
plain to the Frenchman in the street
the many difficulties England has had
to contend with in the formation of
her new armies. A great many French
men are under the impression that in
England we have obligatory service. A
still greater number believe, in the
absence of news TO the contrary, that
we have but the original one hundred
thousand men in France. They are
all-ignorant and informed-frank and
generous in their admiration of our
tain wistful envy from arising now
and then, when they read of our nor
NAL lives at home.
Much useful work is now being
done by several of the large newspa-
pers which have for some days past
been explaining the extent of the eff
fort We are making. More work of
the same nature can be done both in
England and France. and NJ Miller
and's visit win be an encouragement
to all efforts in this direction"

TEMPE IN LINE FOR
 OPENING OF FAIR
State Fair Makes Noticeable Differ ence in Tempe. Schools Close
 For the Week.

With the Grammar schools and the High school closed for the week. the banks open on each day only from nine until twelve. and other evidences here and there of the holiday, Tempe is in readiness for the eleventh an nual Arizona state fair which opens Tn Phoenix today. From the mo- ment the schools closed on Friday and the students were dismissed for the ten days to come. it seemed as though the fair had already opened. The presence of so many strangers. and Of so many former Tempeans whc are hack for the week, has been noticeable.
 Whether or not Tempe business houses will close any day this week has not as yet been decided Here tofOre. automobile day has always been the choice, but with that big day at the fair now set for Satur- day. a closing of the business houses seems improbable.
 Ire Normal is the only school in session. and it will be dismissed at least one day during the week.
 The banks are in line with the custom prevalent with all the bank ing houses and will be open on eaol day only in the forenoon.

 Since Arizona went dry, Carmen has had hard picking, and she has had to do with almost anything that would seem to have alcoholic quail ties. And she finally resorted to dc- natured alcohol.

AUTO HITS PAIR SPEEDS AWAY
Percy Howard and Young Woman Companion Run Down By Joy Riders Last
 Night and Left to Suffer Until Found by Passerby

Percy Howard, and his cousin, d young woman whose name was not learned, while walking on North Cen tral avenue, near Mcdowell road, at 7:30 last evening, were struck by a swift moving automobile which was driven hy unknown parties and were seriously injured the young man having one of his legs broken in two places and the young woman suffer ing concussion of the brain.
 According to the statement made by Howard, the machine was being driven in a most reckless and care less manner when iJ hit them. After the smash the auto party sped on- ward for a considerable distance then turned around and came back to the victims, who were stretched on the cold earth. Upon learning of the condition of the injured pair, the occupants of the car said they would bring back q doctor. Instead of re- turning, they left for parts unknown and have not been heard from since
 In the meantime, passersby had discovered the awful plight of the youth and the young woman, and Dr. E. Payne Palmer was summoned After the victims had lain unattended for about an hour, the physician ar rived and had them transferred to the Sisters hospital, where they at once received medical treatment.
 Howard is an employee of the reclamation service and is a zanjero on lateral number '.
 It is thought that the injuries sus- tained by the young woman will not prove fatal and Towards recOver,-- is but a matter of time.
