MITCHELL DISAPPEARS
 EXCITEMENT PREVAILS
Failure to Keep Promise and Broken Spring Combination That
 Frightened Friends

Because Samuel II. Mitchell. man ager of the Phoenix Railway com pany, failed to keep d promise made to friends, there was about as much excitement in certain Phoenix circles yesterday as there would have been if the city hall had been blown up or the recall petitions had been with drawn. It all come about through the failure of MT. Mitchell, generally careful to make no promise he can not or does not intend to keep, to telephone from somewhere out on the Roosevelt road the cause of his failure to return from trip to the dam that it had been expected would be concluded not later than midnight of the day before
 MT. Mitchell, Mrs. Mitchell, their youngest daughter, and Mr. Mitchers sister who is visiting here from Boston, started out for the dam bright and early Thursday morning. They expected to land at the dam before noon, spend the afternoon there and return by moonlight It was to be delightful trip. No mis- haps had been taken into account.
 But even the best laid plans some ! time go awry. A spring on Mir. Mitchells trusty automobile broke away out on the road and it was necessary to put up for the night i And Mr. Mitchell was so flabber- gasted over the unexpected turn of affairs he didn't use the telephone. Yesterday noon Harry Diehl and F. II. Ensign began the organization of searching party sort Of relief expedition. They pictured the Mitch ! els starving out on the desert, per

 The F4 is equipped with Nu- remberg Deisel engine of heavy oil burning type. The tremendous range of temperature. which effects the expansion and contraction of the castings used, frequently causes cracks in the cylinderheads and pis- ton heads.
 The lead battery, too, always has been source of apprehension on d craft like the F'-4. When a battery has been in service any length of time and there are many things that may happen. The plates may buckle, there may be short circuits, or there may be a battery explosion of the hydrogen gas given off in the vessel

At Polanez. he f1rst heard the artillery
roar, violent up until 10 in the morn
ing, and milder later in the day. Al
Polanez he got description of the
Austrian and Russian positions.
The Austrians are on the right (west)
bank of the River Nida, and the Rus
SLAMS are on the left. This has been
the position for two months. and
neither side is likely to break through.
The Austrians have unexampled field

from the town of Opatowez to the town
of Pintschow. On the right. the most
important part of this position, are four
double lines of trenches with barbed
wire entanglements higher than a man.
The Russian positions are almost
equally strong. The last big Austrian
attack was ended by the explosion OF a
Russian fougasse mine. which sent 500
of the enemy. into the air. Small at
tacks are made every day. After sew
enteen such attacks and counter-at-
tacks the relative positions are exactly
as they were.
On the day the correspondent reached
Polanex the Austrians tried to drive
the Russians from their Nida positions
at three different points. The first at
tack began at II in the morning. One
saw nothing of 1t, but heard the roar.
The second attack. made simultaneous

Russian divisional staff expected the
attack and mined the ford. This was
done by tunneling under the river and
lodging in the tunnel a number OF land
mines inclosed in steel cases.
These mines are set of by electricity.
The Russian plan was to pretend to be
surprised. A sentry was ordered to

Big families were the rule in this
court. Some had as many as ten chill

Rents are increasing all over Argen-

AS to womens work In Argentina, the
sentiment as TO this is beginning to
change. y few years ago woman
could hardly go through the streets of
Ruenos Aires without running the risk
of being insulted. Girls were not sup

thought improper for them to hold
clerical positions or to act as type
writer's stenographers or clerks. Today
many of the best business establish

that of Gath & Chaves. 1t does a

The most respectable profession for
young women in Argentina is school

that female teaching originated with
the introduction of American school,

Sarmiento had been minister to the

troduced our educational system. He
sent to the United States for a large
number of American female school
teachers and established normal schools

that school teaching became popular
with the native women. Many girls of
good families have made teaching their
profession and there are now in the
