ENGLAND DENIES
ORDERS AGAINST
RESCUE OF CREWS
OF SUBMARINES

London. Nov. 6.-The admiralty to-
night in published communique again
denies that it ever issued orders that
survivors of German submarines need
not be rescued. The communicate states
that the German press is trying to
make capital out Of what they de-
scribed as second Baralong case,
possibly in order to increase Ameri-
can opinion against Great Britain or
as preteXt for an unrestrained sub
marine campaign.
The communicate claims that the use
of neutral flag was justifiable as
shown by the German practice clause
of the Howe and in other instances
and says that nobody but German
could base an allegation of brutality
on the lapse of few minutes between
the rescue of Britishers and Germans "

the Polish nation-a concept the i'm

making their way into the minds or

Quickest to realize the significance OF
the day are the academic youths OF the
country, students of the University OF
Warsaw, the polytechnic school and
other high institutions of learning, who
attended the ceremony in corporate
units, bearing banners and wearing the
CAV student ribbons. This afternoon
they are leading parades and demon-
red flags. There are volunteers by the
hundreds for the Polish army which
the manifesto announced will be called
into existence.
Short and Simple
The ceremony was short and simple.
Precisely at noon General Won Beseler,
wearing the decorations granted for the
reduction of Antwerp and the Polish
fortresses. mounted the dais in the
gala ball room of the old Jagellonian
castle and in the name of Germany's
sovereign read the imperial manifesto.
When he ceased the Polish Count Nut

The people who are developing the
lands Of South America. and in that de-
velopment are themselves evolving
special characters and new radical
types. are those whom we loosely call
Latin-Americans. Their language is of
the family Of the Latin tongues. and
that fact fixes in the public mind the re-
lationship Of the people among Euro
pean nations; but that is a very super
fetal estimate. If we call them Span
ish-Americans and we consider what the
Spaniards' origin is. we shall come
nearer knowing our neighbors.
The ancient Spaniard was a Celt be-
fore he was conquered by Rome, and as
a Celt he is represented today by the
still distinct group Of the Basques. The
greater part of the Celtic tribes were
less resistant. Five hundred years of
Roman government and two hundred Of

changes in the people. evolving the spe-

In studying America we should not
forget that the Moors maintained their
civilization in Spain up to the date of
the discovery Of America and Influenced
the character of the Spanish conquerors.
They represented that Arabic ctviliza-
ton which maintained learning and sci
ence during the dark ages of Europe
and their daring courage. their impetu-
osity. and their individualistic spirit
have been transmitted to their remotest
descendants.
A further fact relating to the origin
OF the Spanish-American Is the mixing
OF the invaders and the aborigines in the
colonial populations. Their writer's tell

DUNCAN SCENE IF TWO SHOOT|NGS
 THIS WEEK
American Seriously Injured and Mexican Killed in the Valley Town This Week. Farmer Fills Former Employee Full of Bird Shot.

Considerable excitement was caused in Duncan and vicinity the first of the week when news of the shooting of Anthony Haley by Wm. L. Cauth. en became known. The shooting oc- cured at the Cauthen farm on Mon- day evening and is said to have been the outcome of dispute oyer a horse deal
 Haley, who had been employed by Cauthen for short time, but who had left his employ the day before, re- turned to the farm on Monday even- ing and took several shots at his former employer during the dispute, none of the shots, however, taking ef- feet. Cauthen entered his home and soon after upon looking out of the window, saw Haley outside with a rifle leveled at his head. He grabbed shot gun nearby and fired at Haley, the charge taking effect in the head, after which the intruder made quick departure.
 Haley later turned up at the home of L. B. Stephens in bad condition, being covered with blood and appar- ently in serious shape After being treated and the shot was removed from his head he was taken to Dun- can and locked up. He was later bound over to await the action of the grand jury and was brought to Cliff ton and confined in the county jail.
 Immediately following the shooting Cauthen notified the officers who went to his home and placed him under ar. rest. At his hearing before Justice Bullard on Wednesday morning he was found blameless and the charge against him was dismissed.
 Not much is known of Haley as he had been in Duncan but a short time, gave the officers different name than that which he gave Cauthen at the time of his employment, which circumstance is not very much in his iofOl ASSOI 0lnS IO I0pOTIS ITOn Duncan Cauthen regrets the affair very much and did not wish to serious ly injure the man, only firing in self defense, it being case of one mans life or the other. n
 The second and fatal shooting occur red at the Parks ranch day or two later when Martin Villareal was kill ed by Jose Franco, being shot through the body with .3O-3O rife. It is not known just how the killing occurred but according to a state ment from Franco the men became in- volved in quarrel over a woman and Villareal attacked him with butcher knife. Franco was placed under ar- rest and lodged in the Duncan jail.
 A coroner's jury was later empan- elled and after viewing the remains returned verdict to the effect that Villareal had come to his death from gun shot wounds at the hands of Jose Franco.

One of the closest elections in years: national, state and county, has passed into history, and by the decis ion of the people President Wilson has again ben elected to the hi2hesi office in the land. So close has the race been that for two days the result has been in doubt, but tele graphic advices this morning are to the effect that Wilson has 269 elector al votes which is more than enough to insure his election. Although there are few states yet to hear from they will have no effect on the present standing, unless it be to swell Presi. dent Wilson's majority
 The result of the national election vindicates the peoples faith in the administration and that the principles for which President Wilson has stood and the policies he has pur- sued during his four year term as head of the American government are heartily endorsed by a majority of the electors.
 State Election.
 The election in Arizona was the hard. est fought contest in the annals of the new state; and in fact none could equal it in the old territorial days. The big fight was centered in the gubernatorial race between Governor Co phn1 r-a publican. Both candidates had made a strenuous campaign throughout the state, and the votes of the disgruntled ones threw the election to Campbell by a small majority. As was con- ceded Hunt received a majority in Greenlee county of over 400. Al though Hunt received a majority in most of the counties, when the re- turns were all in from Maricopa county the big majority received by Campbell assured his election by a small margin.
 Senator Ashurst was reelected over Judge Kibbey to the United States Senate, while Carl Hayden was re- turned to Congress, easily winning over his republican opponent Eads. Nothing definite has yet been receiv- ed regarding the judges of the su- preme court and members of the tax commission.
 County Returns.
 The fight in Greenlee County was the hottest in the history of the county, and although the republicans eXerted tLei- u.most efforts to pull
