Tune: Don't Bite the Hand That's Feeding You"
Last night as lay sleeping
wonderful dream came to me;
1 saw the great southwest country
And knew what the prospects would be;
saw in the distance city
That seemed to outshine all the rest
When asked in my dream what they called it
The answer was Liberal-the best
If you don't like the town that you live in
If you don't like the place where you trade,
Come to town of fame,
Liberal is its name;
Well show you that Liberal is true.
If you want to know the reason that we prosper
And the reason that our patrons do the same,
We don't act like the mail-order faker,
We're not the kind that's fleeing you.
There's town in the southwest of Kansas,
Surrounded with golden grain;
'Tis the Capital of the Southwest country,
Every nation has heard of it's fame;
The Chamber of Commerce has helped it,
And its people are loyal and true;
They always have the glad hand for strangers
So they're sure to welcome you.

Outfit Arrested

Feodoro Amerzaga, a Spaniard,
was taken into custody about
1000 o'clock Monday morning by
Sheriff Alger, along with seven
burros, six of which were loaded
with BOOZE" two cases to a
burro, each case containing 48
pints, or a total of 576 pintS.
1t seems that Amerzaga, who
has been in the "bootlegging
business" for some time, and has
generally followed the trail from
Lordsburg to Miami by way of
Clifton. got the idea in his head
to change his route for this trip,
and he came over the Duncan
trail and after passing south of
town, got lost in the foothills Of
the Graham mountains.
He was seen with his burrOs
wandering around near the edge
of the town Sunday afternoon by
parties who brought word to
Sheriff Alger. The sheriff and
Constable Lancaster went in
search of the walking saloon,
but Amerzaga and his burros had
found a convenient camp, safe
for the time being from prying
eyes.
Sheriff Alger started out Mon
day morning in search of the
outfit" and finally located Anne
rzaga and his seven burrOs, near
Kreuger's ranch, south of town.
The sheriff rode up to the wan
dering Spaniard and suggested
that he come to town and rest
up, which the "bootlegger'
agreed to do, and they arrived
here about 100 o'clock.
The "evidence,' a very cheap
variety of whiskey, was safely
locked up until needed in court,
and Amerzaga accompanied the
sheriff to Solomonville, where he
was given a room IN the hotel
Alger, pending his appearance
before Judge McAlister.
Amerzaga says he did a pretty
good business selling the booze"
at $4,000 case, but that lately
the price has dropped to $1,000
and he was about ready to quit
bootlegging and start in another
business.
Amerzaga was brought before
Judge McAlister yesterday after
noon for arraignment. He waived
all rights and pleaded guilty and
Judge McAlister gave him a SEN
tence Of eight months in jail and
a fine of $3.50 90.

GRAND DUKE HERO
Nicholas Takes Trebizond,
Great Turkish Stronghold.
Tenth City He Has StOrmed in
Less Than Two Months.

Paris. April 19.-Paris received with
great enthusiasm the news of the fall
of Trebizond. The event was looked
for but st was not thought the Rus
SLAMS would be able to capture the city
so quickly. The political as well as
the military consequences are expect
ed to be most important, particularly
in view OF the fact that Turkey has
lost one of the valuable parts of Asia
Minor at a time when, according to
reports reaching Paris. Germany is
weakening her forces in the Balkans
to carry on attacks on the western
front.
French military writer's state that
the plan of campaign of Grand Duke
Nicholas, the Russian commander, was
a daring one. which at first was looked
upon as foolhardy but now is fully
justified.
The grand duke decided to advance
boldly TO the attack on this front
where maneuvers of warfare were
possible. while the other fronts were
still held in deadlock. Excluding the
operations on the Persian front, Grand
Duke Nicholas, in this campaign
against an experienced and stubborn
foe, has to his credit the storming Of
ten cities in less than two months.

WILSON DIRECTS Def


tContinued rrom Page One.I
imperial German government inform
ed this government and the other neu-
trail governments of the world that it
had reason to believe that the govern
ment of Great Britain had armed all
merchant vessels of British ownership
and had given them secret orders to
attack any submarine of the enemy
they might encounter upon the seas
and that the imperial German gov
eminent felt justified in the circum-
stances in treating all merchantmen
of belligerent ownership as auxiliary
vessels Of war which it would have the
right to destroy without warning.
THE law of nations has long recog-
nized the right of merchantmen to
carry arms for protection and to use
them to repel attack, though to use
them in such circumstances at their
own risk: but the imperial German
government claimed the right to set
these understandings aside under cir
cumstances which il deemed extra
ordinary. Even the terms in which it
announced its purpose thus still FUR
Their to relax the restraints it had pre-
Viously professed its Willingness and
desire to put upon the operations of
its submarine, carried the plain i'm
plication that at least vessels which
were not armed would still be exempt
from destruction without warning and
that personal safety would be accord
ed their passengers ana crews out
even that limitation if it was ever
practicable to observe, it. has in fact
constituted no check at all upon the
destruction of ships OF every sort.
Broke Faith With Impunity.
again and again the imperial Ger
man government has given this gov
eminent its solemn assurances that at
least passenger ships would not be
thus dealt with and yet it has again
and again permitted it's under sea
commanders to disregard these as
surances with entire impunity. Great
liners like the Lusitania and the
Arabic and mere ferry boats like the
Sussex have been attacked without a
moments warning, sometimes before
they had even become aware that they
were in the presence or an armed YES
sci of the enemy. and the lives of non
combatants, passengers and crew have
been sacrificed wholesale, in a manner
which the government of the United
States cannot but regard as wanton
and without the slightest color of JUS
tification.
mo limit of any kind has in fact
been set to the indiscriminate pursuit
and destruction of merchantmen of all
kinds and nationalities within the
