IGNORANCE OF THE
 LAW NO EXCUSE

PHOENIX, Feb. 1l.-Ignorance o; the fact that liquor is intoxicating does not excuse anyone from the pen alties for violating the prohibition | amendment according to the decision of the Supreme court in the case of the State against l. F.. Troutner of this city If a man sells what he thinks IS parcgoric, and it turns ont to be intoxicating hquor. he is guilty under the law. The law presumcs that he knows what he is selling. and wnethcr it is intoxicating or not. T. is his duty to know for certain what he sells. This, in brief, is the mean ing of the decision.
 Intention or lack of intention to sell intoxicating liquor has nothing to do with the question according to the in structions given by the Superior court of Maricopa county which have been upheld by the States highest tribunal Troutner, who was charged with hay ing disposed of bull dog" cider claimed he sold it under the impres- sion that it was not intoxicating, and for that reason was not guilty. The Supreme court held with the lower court that 1t was his business to know what he was selling. and not to take the word of somebody else for it.

Imperial Guards Captured.

Chalons-Sur-Marn France. Jan. II. via Paris. 5:30 p. m.-The fact that regiments of the imperial guard were among the sixty thousand men that attacked the French lines in champagne on Sunday indicates how carefully the Germans selected their troops for this great assault. A con- siderable number of prisoners taken oy the French belonged to the ia nous guards
 The attack followed one of the heaviest bombardments the Germans yet have inflicted upon the French positions. The bonn bardment last sd twenty-four hours. The prompt ness of the French reply with con- centrated fire from their three-inch guns stopped the first waves of the attack on the parapets of the Ger man trenches.

slower than that made In the Teu- ton conquest of Serbia, but, in con- sideration of the formidable obsta- cleS@which the mountainous character of the country presents, it is conceded that the invaders are making steady progress.
 The question is being anxiously raised as to why the entente allies did not long ago send aid to the Mon- tenegrins and in particular why Italy, which is more acutely affected by this Austrian invasion had not taken pre- yentive measures. The Austrians are now only ten miles from the capital of Montenegro, calculating the dis tance by the existing roads, and a suc- cessful blow at the heart of the coun- try may have the effect, it is said by military critics, of isolating the troops who are defending the northeastern frontier.

The French military authorities say that the German for ces which delivered the attack lost heavily as, with three divisions, they advanced in face of the French artil- lery fire, which took a terrible toll.
