Population of Cities.

"The New York World Almanac for 1915, just issued, gives the estimated population of Birmingham as 1S0,0 ,00O -the same as last year-and those figures are very conservative" said a statistician of Birmingham, Ala. we probably have between 19O,000 and 100000 inhabitants.
 Atlanta is estimated at 200. .000- the same as last year. But the Texas cities, especially Houston, Dallas and San Antonio, have been moved m considerably. h the census of 1910 Texas was without a city of 100 000 Now Houston is credited with 132 O0o Dallas with 125,000 and San Antonio with 120,000.
 New York city grows bigger every year and it's estimated population is 5,625,000. Chicago, according to the World Almanac, has 2,437,526."

NATIONS WITH SMALL ARMIES
Three, at Least, Should Have Little Trouble in Disbanding Their
 Military Forces.

If ever the disarmament of the world occurs, there will be several countries that will not have much to do in that line. such as, for instance. Monaco, the army of which comprises 75 guards, 75 carbineers and 20 fire. men.
 Another diminutiye army Is that oi the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg which numbers 135 gendarmes, ITO volunteers, and 30 musicians. The re public of San Marine can put in the field a total of nine companies con. sisting of $50 men and 3S officers, commanded by a marshal. The army on a peace footing consists of one company of 50 men.
 The fighting force of the Black re- public" Liberia, Is composed of 700 men and almost as many officers. Li. beria, however, evidently considers it's army a formidable one, since, upon the occasion of hostilities between any of the powers. 1t always issues a proc. lamation of neutrality.

The Presidents Note to Germany

A Washington dispatch OF May IL,
1915, says: The stand taken by Presi-
dent Wilson relative to the bar
barous and savage acts on the part
of Germany in sinking the Lusitania,
a strictly unarmed merchant ship,
and drowning more than one hum
dred American people. The note has
the true American ring throughout
and in it he demands of Germany
that the practice of sinking merchant
ships, without giving passengers and
crew time to disembark in life boats,
must cease, and Furthermore Ger
many must make full reparation for
what she has already done and her
pledge is demanded that it will not
happen again in the future.

The following announcement ap-
peared in the last issue of the Craig
Empire:
Herbert b. Gee and Carl d.

conducting the Oak Creek Times,
spent Sunday in Craig, and while
here closed deal whereby they will
take over The Craig Empire on June
l. 1t was not intended to mention
the sale until about the time the
change was to be made, but other
papers of the district have given
more or less prominence to the trans
action, so it is up to 1.-The old man"
to admit thet it is true. He will now
give his entire time to editing a dry
ranch."-
The Herald regrets to see George
Kimball retire from the Empire ed
itorial chair, even though the re-
tirement may be, as we hope, only
temporary. He belongs to that
bunch of bright country newspaper
men of whom Roy Ray of the Pou-
DIRE Valley, Foster of the Fort Col
Inns Review, Hogue of the Eaton
Herald. Dave Saunders of the Brush
Republican, Brown of the Yuma Pio-
neer, Frank Moore and the Gee fam
lily - dad" and kid Herb" are
such shining lights.
Here's hoping that George will
soon get tired of dry farming. In the
meantime, The Empire is passing in
to mighty good hands In the persons
of Messrs Herbert Gee and Carl Van
Dorm.
Good luck to all.

WILSON HEDGES ON
PLEDGE TO ISLANDS
Intimates Philippines Bill Will
Not Be Signed Unless Pre-
amble Is Dropped.

Washington, Jan. president Will
son dropped an intimation to-day that
the Jones bill would receive his sig
nature if it passed with the preamble
which promises independence TO the
Filipinos stricken out. According TO
persons who talked with him, he be-
lieves the objects desired can be at
tanned without the preamble.
Opposition 10 the preamble was
formulated before the Senate commit
tee to-day by George II. Fairchild, OF
New York, and Martin Egan, one Of
the owners Of THE Manila Times"
Both witnesses declared that immedl-
ate independence for the islands would
result in disorder.
"The withdrawal Of the United
States from the Philippines would be
calamitous," said Mr. Fsirchild, who
is interested in the sugar industry
there.
Mr.. Egan, who has had extensive ex-
perience in the islands, expressed the
opinion that the United States should
control, for some time at least, many
of the important governmental func-
tions of the government.
"The Filipinos," he added. may be
relied upon 20 exercise a greater au-
tonomy in the regulation OF their do
and provincial problems than
they now exercise"
The danger that food Of Chinese
immigration will engulf the islands il
the Filipinos are permitted TO lay down
the bars was given by Mr.. Egan as
reason for urging that Congress insist
upon the maintenance Of the present
exclusion laws.
