Must Leave Germany Intact.
oxford, Eng Dec. 4.-The oxforo
Union, the debating society of tho
university, has decided by vote OF
80 to "a that the safety of Europe docs
not require the suppression of Ger
many from her place as a first class
power.
The question: as 1t was proposed for
debate, was: Resolved, that Europe
VIII not enjov q secure peace ut the
end of this war If Germany remains
first-class power,
The negative argument included the
assertion by a Magdalen college stu-
dent that it was impossible to crush
Germany. One debater declared that
neither Germany nor Great Britain
could hope to be in the position OF a
frst-class power after the war. An
other speaker in defense of Germany
urged that England should limit its
action to the object for which it won't
to war. To crush Germany" he re-
marked, I'VE would have to reach
Berlin; this would take six years, ard
in that time we should have crushed
ourselves too. A sort of international
partnership would be a wiser way.
Driving the Germans out of the ter
ritory they have conquered will surely
be enough. All her colonies should he
given back to Germany, because If de-
prived OF them she would be q worse
danger to the peace of Europe than a
Germany without room for colonial
expansion"

 AmSwey Suit Of

ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArc41

NEW YORK, April 2.-Robert $. Lovett, formerly president of the Southern Pacific company was directed by the supreme court to appear for examination Wednesday in connection with the suit of the Development Con- pany of America, mining and smelt- ing concern, to recover fifteen millions damages from the Southern Pacific.
 The concern alleges that in 1910, when Lovett was president of the Southern Pacific, he entered into an agreement for the transfer of securities to the Southern Pacific which was to make the initial payment of half mil lion and therefore to enable the devel- opment company to meet certain press ing obligations. This payment was not made, the plaintiff alleges and as a result the concern lost fifteen millions through the foreclosure on many hold ings, especially mining and smelting properties in Arizona.

 Recall petitions are being circulated against Mayor George U. Young aid Commissioners Cope and Corpstein The reasons for this call for an election are as follows:
 These men, although elected un- der and sworn to sustain the City Charter have announced that thsy are opposed to its provisions that re- quire them to show cause in order to discharge a city manager. They have discharged city manager on the charge of incompetency, although very large number of successful business men and taxpayers, whose tax money was being spent by the manager, believe that the charge of incompetency was a pretext to con- ceal their real motive.
 Whether or not city manager was improperly discharged is of smell consequence to the citizens of Phoe- nix compared with the attack on the city charter. We adopted the charter on the theory that the commission was to be non partisan and was to have charge of legislative matters and the appointment of manager, whom they had no right to remove unless for good cause. such for in- stance. as undue political activity, incompetency or wrong doing.
 There are to be submitted to the voters of Phoenix several amend ments to the charter. It is almost unanimously agreed that the minor amendments not affecting the city manager should be carried, but Il is submitted that the amendments placing the appointive power in the hands of the commission and making

Geo. w. hereby recommend that the citizens of the Salt River Valley unite on April 18th, 1915, in appropriate ob- servance of the benefits derived from the great Roosevelt Irrigation Pro- ject, and by forsaking temporarily the everyday pursuits of the busi- ness world to participate in the festi- vities prepared, manifest their grati- tude for the blessings which Pro- vidence has, in this instance, so bountifully bestowed.

Only four women teachers so far have been affected by the law and the ambassador informed the Califor- nia state authorities that either by legislation or a reconstruction of the present law they should ex- empt from it's operation these wo- men and others already employed before the enactment of the law. The California authorities, it is explained, hold they have only fol- lowed the example of the Canadian government in this sort of legisla- tion.

 WASHINGTON. April 1-Great Brit aims intention of stopping all messages sent over cables under British control relating to trade in contrahand or non-c -contrab band" to which a resident in any enemy country is one of the parties has been communicated to the United States government through Ambassador Page at London.
 The memorandum given to Page and cabied by him to the state department, contained the first formal announce ment of Great Britains cable censor ship policy since the early days of the war. when the neutral nations were reminded of the right of the British government to stop all communications over the cables it controlled. At that time it was announced in order to mi nimize inconvenience to the public, messages in plain English or French would be accepted for transmission subject to censorship.
 All cable communication between America and Europe has had to pass through Great Britain since the cutting of the German cable at the beginning of the war. It is said that few mes sages known to relate to business transactions in Germany or Austria have been passing at any time, but there has been much doubt as to just what policy was being followed and the state department has received many inquiries on the subject.
 Under the latest notice, officials here understand. in the line of the allies blockade program, messages must not be sent from the United States to Italy or any other neutral country if they refer in any way to a transaction of which resident of Germany. Austria or Turkey is interested.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1


 BROWNSVILLE, April 2-General Rodriguez. commanding the Villa troops investing Matamoras, said he has three batteries of seventy-five to eighty millimetre field guns en route for use against the Matamoras trenches.
 The biplane lay idle at camp all day. The repaired parts of the ma chine, put up on the American side last night, were finally allowed to cross into Mexico.
 At Rodriguez's camp there are re- ports of one battery of Villas ar tillery within few miles of Mata- moras, coming over land because of the torn up railroads. Rodriguez said he did not expect Villa to join him in an attack on Matamoras.
 Villa officers sought an American flyer to operate the aeroplane which was received from Monterey but baked at paying $1OO a day on a thirty-day contract, which was the price demanded by at least one avi- ator from this side of the line It was said the officers would await the arrival of an aviator from Mon terey. Three more aeroplanes are said to be On their way from Monte rey to the Villa camp.
 Operations to reduce Matamoras are likely to continue to be slow according to information reaching army officers here for the reason that Villa has no means of speedy communication. The railroads are so torn up that, save for cavalry, the military bodies can make only few miles of progress each day.
 Dispatches to the Carranza agency here stating that General Obregon was threatening the line of communi- cations of the Villa-Zapata forces by occupying Queretaro, and a message from General Villa to his representa- tive announcing the surrender of General Jose Isabel Robles, secretary of war, General Eulalio Gutierrez, were the chief developments tonight in the military situation in Mexico.
