FIRST DUTY IS TO PRO-
 TECT STOCK OF ARIZONA

PHOENIX, July 23.-"A soft an swer turneth away wrath" but wheth- CT the retort courteous coupled with a firm determination to stand pat will serve to alleviate the irritation of a certain official of the State of Kan sas is yet to be determined. For the Hon. ]. H. Mercer, livestock com missioner of the Sunfower state, an gered at the repeated refusals of the Arizona board to raise the quarantine against shipments from that com monwealth, sat down and poured out his thoughts in words of scathing sarcasm.
 In instituting a rule that no stock from Arizona would be allowed to un- load for food and water in Kansas, he informed the Arizona officials Kansas was but adopting retaliatory meas ures. The rule was made not from the fear that the foot and mouth dis case might be brought into the State of Kansas from the uninfected State of Arizona, but because the attempts of Kansas officials to have stock from there admitted had been repeatedly turned down.
 The foot and mouth disease, he pointed out, had occurred only on two or three farms in certain parts Of Kansas, and these localities were un- der strict quarantine But he had been unable to convince the Arizona board of the necessity of immediately raising the quarantine. If they, in their wisdom, knew more about the conditions in Kansas than he did, or the Federal authorities did, by all means the law should be enforced. But hereafter let any stock from Ari- zona dare to set foot on Kansas soil. It would be turned back, it would be forced to return to the deserts whence it came.
 As an antidote to the vinegar in the Kansas officials letter, Secretary Sam c. Bradner of the livestock sani- tary board begged to advise that the boards first duty was to the stock men of the State of Arizona. The members considered that the protec- ton of the ranges, against the foot and mouth disease was of more i'm portance than the importation of a few animals for breeding purposes. The Federal bureau of animal indus try, also, was not infallible. While 1t had been confident that it had the dis ease corralled, the states of Wyoming and Kansas had become infected.
 Once the disease started in this state where there were no means of conhning it to any one locality, 1t would have spread like wildhre, and worked havoc in the cattle industry. The action of the Kansas authorities, moreover, would not cause the board to retreat from the stand 1t had taken. It would meet shortly, and the mat ter of further modification of the quarantine would be considered, but not because of any action taken in re- taliation by the State of Kansas.
 No reply has as yet been received from the livestock commissioner of Kansas.

War Department Says Army Officers on Scene
 Know What to Do.

Washington. July 8.-Dispatches to the state department from Mexico City state that the rioting for bread has become general, and that, if pos- sible, conditions are worse than ever before.
 The war department was informed today that Mexican guerillas have in- vaded Texas at several points in Cameron county and are attacking United States cavalry posts from long range. The war department officials said it scarcely required any in- structions to the officers of the army on the border how to meet this situa- ton. It is stated, however. that they have been told to clear the country of these border robbers. The depart ment does not anticipate any serious trouble, as it is known that the gangs which have crossed the border are not attached to the commands o1 General Villa.
 The state department was informed this evening from Mexico City that the Zapatistas have taken the offen- sive and are attacking Genera Obregon on the flank. This activity of the Zapatistas shows that the! have sufficient force to cope witl General Obregon in the north. The effect of the attack by Zapat' on Obregon will be to force him bacl north from which he has been driver ; by General Villas troops.

 Reaching Effect.
AMERICA FAILS TO
 UPHOLD NEUTRALITY
Clearance of the Armenian, Loaded Witt. Mules for British Army. to Be Cited as Proof That U. S. ';Ot
 Acting Fairly.

Washington, July S.-The German ing protection for American lives and property at sea, which is expect ed next week, will raise a new issue between the two governments, which may have far reaching effect.
 Information has come to this gov ernment that Germany will cite the case of the Armenian, on which about 21 American lives were lost, to show the difficulty with which she is con- fronteG in attempting to "visit and search" suspected merchantmen, and will raise the point that the depar- ture Of the vessel from Newport News was in clear violation of the neutrality laws of the United States.
 Germany is also expected to quote the statement of the British govern ment to Ambassador Page, as com lnunicated by the latter to the state department, that the Armenian was on "admiralty business" to show that she was actually in the service Of Great Britain. Further, it will point out that the mules on the ship, in- tended for the British army, were 1 loaded under the direction of the | British army officers, and that the | men engaged to care for them by rep | voyage over were employed by rep 1 resentatives of the British govern
 ment.
 In the opinion of the German gov.
 ernment all these circumstances 1 prove that the Armenian was really
 q British government vessel and a: such she was not entitled to clear l ance papers.

Accordingly, three stations in different sections of the city have been established, where hundreds of scales and measuring utensils are on exhibition.

Wilson Gives Order.

Washington, July S.-The govern ment today took over the Sayville I. I) wireless station, the only direct private means of communication be- tween the United States and Ger many.
 Secretary Daniels announced that Captain Bullard. in charge of the naval radio, had gone to take over the station and would continue Its operation with naval forces.
 There will be no change, so far as the public is concerned. Messages will be accepted as heretofore. The only difference will be that naval op. orators, instead of commercial em. ployes, will man the keys. The charges collected by the navy will be paid to the owning company.
 Today's action, taken under an ex- ecutive order issued by President Wilson giving the navy authority tC take over" one or more" stations. was deemed necessary because of alleged violations of neutrality by the com pany's operators. It had been charg- ed that when the navy censors had left the wireless room for minute or two unneutral messages had been sent and that only by difficult and trying supervision could neutrality be strictly preserved.
 The wireless station at Tuckerton N. IT,. was taken over last September by the government. Both stations now are able to communicate directly with Grmany.
 "This action simply means" said Secretary Redfield, "that the Sayville station still is open for every right eous purpose"
 It is said in naval quarters that there has been conviction that Ger man submarines were able to receive wireless messages sent from Sayville
