Germany, on Feb. s, Said
She'd Sink Armed Ships

herman
ruary referred to IN the berIln as
patch was addressed TO neutral nations,
and declared that after February 29
Germany would consider all armed
merchantmen belonging 70 countries az
war with Germany as warshlps, and
tn, such vessels would be treated &C
cordingly and sunk without warning
II charged that before the outbreak
Of the war the British government had
given British shipping companies an
oDportunitv 10 arm merchantmen with
guns for protection against dangers
Threatening under certain clrcum
stances from auxiliary cruisers OF other
nowers." The British Admiralty, II was
added. published in January, 1914, lst
showing that twenty-nlne steamers OF
various English lines carried stern
guns. a..
Germany established soon after ne
outbreak Of the war, the memorandun'
said. that English liners were armed
tbe steamer La Correntina having been
captured carrying two four-poundef
seven-inch stern guns and German
submarine having been fred upon ~
the Channel By an English yacht
British Standpoint Cited.
The memorandum said the British
government for its own merchantmen
had taken the standpoint that armed
merchantmen maintained the charac-
ter of peaceful mercantile vessels so
long as they only carried armament Tor
defensive purposes. but that IN the
case of armed ships under other hags
IL had adopted the principle that they
were % be treated as warships.
"The German government the
memorandum continued, has no DOUBT
that merchantmen acquire a belllgerent
character through srming with cannon,
no matter whether the guns shall serve
only for defence or for attack. IL con-
siders every warllke activity OF enemy
merchantmen as contrary 70 interna-
tional law, although II takes into con-
sideration the opposing views, through
the fact that II treats the crews OF
such ships not as pirates, but as bel
ligerents."
The memorandum said that numerous
cases had come to light from reports
of the German naval forces in which
British merchantmen not only offered
armed resistance TO German warships,
but, on their own part, proceeded with
out further ado 10 attack them, IN
which attacks they frequently made
use of false colors.'
Alleged Copies Of British Orders.
Appendices to the communication
purported to be Photographic copies of
instructions Of the British Admiralty
describing the procedure Of armed
British merchantmen, which were found
on captured ships They were alleged
70 contain precise regulations concern
ing the reception, treatment. activity
and control Of British gun crews aboard
merchantmen.
Under these instructions" the mem
orandum said. 1T is rendered clear
that armed English merchant ships
have Official permission treacherously
90 attack German submarines every
where when they come near them; that
is. TO wage war against them unscrup-
ulously."
The manifesto was issued in order
that the neutral powers might warn
their subjects from further entrusting
their persons or property 10 armed
ships Of the powers az war with Ger

State Department prepar-
ing Request to British
Authorities.
u. S. INTERCESSION
LIMITED TO THIS
Bryan's Deserving Democrat"
In Ireland Since Resigning
Diplomatic Post.

Washington. May 4-Thc State De
psrtment is preparing demand for
fair civil trial for James Mark Sulli-
van, former American Minister 20
Santo Domingo. arrested in Dublin
earlier in the week on a charge OF be-
ing concerned in the Irish rebellion,
and will present this demand on re-
ce!pt of official advices OF the arrest
This, Il ia declared, is the utmost the
United States can do in intercedinR for
him. An appeal was received from
Mrs. Sullivan to-day to take up her
husbands case with the British au-
thorities.
Mr.. Sullivan was appointed Minister
10 Santo Domingo by Secretary Bryan
in August, 1918. replacing William W.
Russell whose resignation was asked
for 70 make room for a deserving
Democrat" After serving nearly two
years, he resigned. following charges
OF improper use OF his position 70 aid
certain banking and contracting inter
ests in the West Indian republic. Mr..
Russell was then reappointed 70 tho
position.
The ex-minister sailed last July for
Ireland with his wife and son 10 visit
his mother in Limerick. saying that
he would return in a few months.
James ". Sullivsns career as Ameri
can Minister 10 the Dominion Republic
was brief and sensational. and ended m
his resignation under charges which a
commission appointed by the state De
partment headed BY Senator Phelan IN
vestigated. Charges we're made that
Sullivan participated in contracts on
the island. but no evidence was found
that he had profted. Before being ap-
pointed 10 office Sullivan had been
lawyer for Jack Rose, one OF the gam
blers in the Rosenthal murder case
His appointment was looked upon as a
personal one on the part OF Secretary
BRYAN. Secretary Tumulty disclaimed
responsibility for Mr.. Sullivan's ap-
pointment
Mr. Sullivan was eKonerated once by
Mr. Bryan, but the charges against MN
would not down, and second invesu-
cation resulted in his ignation.
The news Of his arrest on charges OF
completely in the Dublin uprising was
the first news Of him since he left the
diplomatic service. Former Governor
Fort of New Jersey, who conducted the
first investigation. declared Mr. Sulli-
van 20 be "bg hearted, good natured,
honest Irishman.'

GOOD TUNGSTEN CLAIMS
IN THE HuaCHUCAS

CARR CANYON. Huachuca noun
tains. May l3-WhiIe there has been
much said about the mining that has
been going on in this locality for the
past few years there has been quite
a few prospectors at work that are
opening up some good claims and nov
with the discovery Of tungsten on the
bid Exposed Reef property, there
promises TO be considerable doing.
The property is an old one and has
Iad many ups and downs II was
owned al one time by Sine Gallen
and =. z. Warnekros. of Tombstone,
and was sold by them to the Exposed
Reef company They built wagon
road up TO the mines at a cost Of
several thousand dollars and consid
cradle machinery for the mill and con
Centrator was hauled up and put in
place. The company worked for a
short time and then quit. II then
passed through several hands and
went into the hands of the sheriff
and was sold under hseriff sale to
Albert SJeinfeld Of Tucson. who had a
judgment against the Sitruc Mines
company, the las; par-res to attempt
to work it. bought it in for few
hundred dollars.
1t is understood that the property
was purchased by Mr.. Smith for the
Primes Chemical company of PennsyI-
vania and they will soon put a number
Of men at work on the group.
The finding of tungsten in the ores
Of the Exposed Reef property, which
has always been considered a gold
property may solve the reasons why
the propert could not be made to pay.
The ore could never be successfully
handled and it may be that the I'M
known presence of the tungsten acid
was the cause of no peter results
being obtained.
The discovery has stimulated 9th
ers that have been working claims
IN this locality TO have their ores test
ed in this line and il looks as though
Carr Canyon would soon be on the
producing list of that class of ores.

TO RESCUE HUSBAND
FROM MEXICAN BANDITS

Il am confident that my husband lie
alive. / am going to get him back"
That was the attitude of Mrs. John
Deemer. who passed t-rough Tomb
stone yesterday, en- route from Point
Iona, Cal, TO Boquillas, Tex. whence
her husband was taken by a band OF
Mexicans. following the Glenn Springs
raid Mrs Deemer is travelling with
her son. by automobile. and is going
0 her home with the avowed intention
Of raising a band of Texans to rescue
her husband
That private grudge animated the
MeXicans who captured Deemer and
took him into Mexico. IS the belief Of
the faithful wife Deemer was a jus
tice of the peace, and had been threat
ened by Mexican whom he had sen
fenced for some minor Offense. IN
come back and get you" the prisoner
told his Judge.
Mrs. Deemer was taken by her son,
w. II. Deemer. together with a small
daughter. TO San Diego, when things
first became lively on the border. 1t
vas there that they learned of the
raid. and at first that Deemer had been
murdered. Since then, however. 9TH
er news has come from the border
town. and tended 20 strengthen the
belief that Deemer has been held for
ransom If Mrs. Deemer is success
full i'll her project, she says the ran
som will consist of bullets. Her sen.
sationaI dash across the country is
being made the subject of considerable
comment by the press. and is being
watched with intense interest.

Extreme careessness is being practiced by campers
in the Huachuca mountains Three fires have been
ed there in the last week and it has great deal
many ways to subdue them The last fire occurred yes
terday above the Box in Ramsey Canyon and is thought
have caught owing to the extreme careessness of
party of campers from Bisbee The drynsss in
the forests and the than ordinary amount of under
brush occassoned by the storms of last winter makes of
the vital Importance that should be shown by
campers and others who allowed the privilege of the
great forests in the Huachuca mountains The proper
thing do, if the power within their grasp would be
for tue Forest Rangers to forbid campers until after the
rains. 1t almost unbelievable that people
will be careless they and have shown themselves
to be this summer in the protection of the forests
