first pure, then peaceable, gentle,
easy to be entreated, full of mercy
and good fruits, without variance,
without hypocrisy. And the fruit of
righteousness is sown in peace for
them that make peace" James 3:13-
Is.
Remember the words Of Jesus,
BLESSED are the peacemakers: for

There may be what are considered
righteous wars, or wars Of self-de-
tense; but always there is some one
who is invading, else there would be
no need of self-defense. And why
the invasion? We must go back to
the scripture we have quoted. There
is only one means of destroying the
menace of war, and that is, to accept
the principles of righteousness as re-
vealed in the bible. This the world
refuses to do. Every other means is
but subterfuge, and will fail. By
none Of the means that the world is
using, will the menace Of war be des-
troyed. Armageddon will be the ulti-
mate clash, and then will come the
end. Very sincery yours,

Believing herself to be the promised bride of Harry k. Thaw, Isabel King stun yesterday sat on the veranda of the Phillips House to await his coming When Deputy Sheriff Ora Matthews accompanied by two other attaches of the sheriffs office called to take Miss Kingston to Judge Lyman's court where her sanity was to be inquired into. she declared il was nothing more nor less iil%n a conspiracy to prevent her from meeting her lover.

 In taking her to the state asylum for the insane, the officers told her that she Was going to the country estate of ThaW where the marriage would be performed at once.
 Miss Kingston gave her age as thirty three and said she had taught school ever since she was seventeen, at one time being connected with the Los An seles public schools and that she had also taught in san Diego.

General Fun ston said that the growing importance of the Fl Paso contingents necessi- tated the assignment of an officer of General Bells rank to take charge of them. General Bell will act under the orders of General Funston in look ing after the border situation when the expeditionary force passes into Mexico.
 The twenty-third infantry, enroute from Galveston, passed through San Antonio today on it's way to the base of operations.
 Many Americans are arriving in San Antonia on their way north after forsaking their occupations in Mexico, because of fear that conditions might become unsettled when the American troops have passed the border.

EASTERN OUTLET FOR
 N|AR|C0PA CREAMERY
Not Only Distributors But Creamery in East Buying Part of Local
 Eutter-fat Product

That the outlet of this valleys dairy products is not limited to Arizona or southern California was nicely demon- strated recently by the MaricOpa Creamery. A few weeks ago there was q big drop in prices in the Los Angeles butter market, and B. c. Web Ster, manager of the Maricopa cream cry decided to divert a big shipment of butter to the Chicago market.
 Remarkable as it may seem, and even after paying seven cents excess express the butter sold at such a good price that it netted four and a half cents more than it if had been sold in Cali fornia. This enabled the Maricopa peo- pie to maintain their prices for butter fat.
 This creamery, now turning out about two tons of butter daily, ships butter to many eastern points regular ly. most of it of course to firms in the selling end of the game. An eastern creamery however, is one of the latest customers, and is taking q 5000 pound shipment weekly.

 The Bucharest correspondent of the Chronicle explains the absence of any official German representative at the funeral of the Queen Mother Elizabeth of Rumania as being due to the urgent advice of King Ferdinand of Bulgaria.
 Emperor Williams fourth son, Prince August William, who was at Morastir, was ordered by his father to proceed to Bucharest to attend the funeral
 The news of this arrangement, ac- cording to the Chronicles correespon- dent, was conveyed to the German minister at Bucharest who was great ly disturbed at the possible hostile reception Of the German prince. His attitude received the vigorous support of King Ferdinand and at the last moment the minister sent an auto mobile to the frontier end intercepted the prince.
 Accordingly among the royal mes saees published at the time of the funeral was one from Prince August William regretting his inability to arrive in time owing to the short ness of the nOtice'

The Plain Truth.

Alarming! Profound anxiety manifes-
ted at Washington over recurring reports
that the Mexican situation may become
seriously involved by a revolt Of Car

lean bandits from one state or another
with Villa, dlscloses the real situation
Bandits and brigandage rule in Mexico
and one bandit is as good as another.
The outsider who interferes in a family
quarrel always suffers. When Huerta
was chosen to the presidency, even il he
represented only q faction, he became
the de facto head Of the government and
was recognized as such by all the lead
ing foreign nations, except the United
States. In a spirit OF the highest altru-
ism Mr.. Wilson insisted that Huerta was
not properly chosen. It was a mistake
Of judgment on his part Mr. Wilson In
his address at the Railroad Associations
dinner in New York City speaking of the
Mexican situation said he had been mis-
informed or lied to-and presumably he
was right. Had we followed the example
OF Great Britain, France, Germany, and
Spain and recognized Huerta and left the
Mexican POLLEN with Mexicans to solve,
we would not be in the ugly mess that
now threatens to plunge US into a costly
war with a neighboring nation. Nations,
