Should Germany disavow the sink

the state department which has COM
piled a mass of evidence proving con-
clusively that the ship was torpedoed,
will accept the burden of proof. 1t rs
declared that il necessary diplomatic
relations will be broken off after max
ing public the evidence secured.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota this
morning submitted memorandum to

GENERAL PERSH|NG; IMAM OF SORROW"
SOME OF THE THINGS He HAS DONE

A fighting soldier who wins battles
by diplomacy is rarity. But that is
the distinction accorded Brigadier
General John J. Pershing. the man OF
sorrow" of the army. whose beautiful
wife and three baby girl children were
burned to death in fire that destroy
ed their home in San Francisco. Aug
ust 27. 1915, says the Appeal.
Many and picturesque are the tales
told of the Beau BrummsI of I'll"
army; a handsome. daship% soldier:
brilliant and bloody in battle. equally
brilliant in bloodless conquests; hero
OF romance and strife: a lipguist, dip
lomat, scholar; man who won his
rank as much through peaceful CON
quering of his enemies as through dar-
ing leadership in military campaign;
against them.
Pershing. and the Philippines are
synonymous. II was Pershing. then
Captain Pershing of the First. later
the Fifteenth, cavalry, who drew the
task of subduing the fanatical MorC%
on Mindanao and Iolo. He was given
1900 men. and free rein. Not one of
those men was sacrificed in battle.
Instead of beginning a war of eXtcrmi-
nation against the Moroa, Captain
Pershing began study of their Ian
guage. He soon mastered their
tongue. He assembled the MoroS,
fanatical Mohammcdans. on Fridays
(their Sundays) and taking texts from

Germany Lower Jap Flag.

Germany lowered the japanese
flag on the grounds of the Paua-
ma California International Ex-
position a few days ago and charg-
ed $40 for the job. The repre-
sentatives of the Mikado paid the
bill and gave profound thanks for
the work.
1t was quite in contrast to con-
ditions existing on the other hem
isphere and provided one of the
many signs of neutrality among
the sixteen foreign nations that
are participating in the 1916 ex-
position. The flag of Japan was
attached to a heavy pagoda. In
changing the Japanese exhibit it
was desired that the top of the
pagods, weighing two tons, be
lowered. The Japanese workmen
sought the aid of the Germans
employed on the German exhibit
and with derrick and tackle the
work vas done and the time
charged up to Japan.
The task required two hours for
sever men, at sixty cents an hour.

A Daughter of the Desert.

The same players, with one ex-
ception, who produced the recent
play for the school, 1.-THE Dust of
the Earth" will give another play
March 3, entitled "A Daughter of
the Desert" This is a comedy
drama of four acts with the scene
laid in Arizona The characters
are: Harold Morton, a railroad
surveyor; Clarence Ogdon, fore
man of the Arlington ranch; Sam
Hopkins, a land Spectator; Pedro
Silvera, a Mexican renegade; Jim
Parker, a gambler; Bill Jones, a
sure-fre sheriff; Ruth Arlington,
a daughter of the desert; Lucy
Hopkins, her college chum; Mrs.
Ogdon, an Arizona widow; White
Bird, an Apache Indian girl; and
several cowboys.
The plot: Six years before the
opening act Ruth Arlington's ia
Their was killed and robbed and
Ruth has sworn to find his slayer
and avenge his death. In the
meantime she goes away to school
where she meets Lucy Hopkins,
who become fast friends. Lucy
and her father are on a visit at
the Arlington ranch. Harold Nor
ton is engaged in surveying a rail
road through the country, meets
Ruth and they fall in love. Mrs.
Oydon is housekeeper for Ruth
while her son Clarence is the fore
man. Clarence falls in love with
Lucy and Hopkins with Mrs. Og-
don. Pedro Silvera, a rich Next
can, desires to make Ruth his
wife and to gain this end be as
serts that Morton's father was the
murderer and robber. He also Sc
cures witnesses to swear that Nor
ton was a highway robber.
The play introduces many dra.
matte sceues, while Hopkins and
his daughter and Mrs. Ogdon and
her son furnish laughter almost
continuously. Silvera is a villain
from start to finish. Jim Parker
by his droll, creates a senatlon
and White Bird, the Indian maid
presents the best type of her race
in the peculiar Indian fashion.
The proceeds are for the repairs
of the properties of st. Barnabai
church.

Fake Land Advice.

We wish to call the attention of
people who have land entries, or
who are contemplating making a
land entry, to the fact that they
should use every care in getting
correct advice as to what they
SHOULD and should NOT do.
In the first place the correct
way to get advice is from the
Register and Receiver, who will
send you a small pamphlet con.
tanning the advice you seek. In
the second place often a local man
who does land work will gladly
give you correct advice. This is
necessarily unofficial but where a
man has had long experience and
association with the government
land work his word is about as
good as the law.
Don't take advice from every
one handing it out, as ninety-nine
times out of a hundred it is wrong
or worse than wrong, causing an
entryman to perform and do
things that the government will
have to reject your proofs or
cause you considerable trouble,
worry and loss of time.
In Washington, D. c., there are
hundreds of attorneys who make
it a practice to work" the public
land entryman. They go up to
the entries and get the names and
addresses of entrymen, and then
write personal letters, stating that
they will, 'for a small fee," exam
inc your entry or your proof, OF
take up your a and push it to
patent"
By all means dodge Washing
ton land attorneys. They get the
fees and you get the experience,
and they do not help your case in
any manner. There is, of course,
good men among them, but from
this distance you al not choose.
We wish also to call your atten-
ton to the fact that the law
means just what it says. When it
specifies you must live on your
homestead at least seven months
each year it means that you must
live there, make it your home and
keep your personal belongings
there, unless you can show good
reason not to have them there.
Any infraction of the law means
that your entry is subject to con-
test or cancellation, and we advise
you not to heed any advice to the
contrary, even though the party
giving it claims to know the law.
