DOUGLAS, April 11.-General Arnul- fo Gomez, commanding the defacto Mexican troops which have gathered m the Sonora Chihuahua border sor the announced purpose of guarding the mountain passes. is quoted by MeSi can officers at Agua Prieta as having told that he would enter Chihuahua this week at the head of cavalry de- tachment of approximately 2OO0.

New Zealand Passes
 Conscription Measure. Despite Opposition

Wellington, N. E., July 25.-The first conscription measure in the British Overseas Dominions was virtually plac- ed on the statute book on June 10, when the Military Service Bill passed its third reading in the House of Rep resentatives with only four votes in op- position. Though the bill has to pass the Upper House, it is considered as good as passed.
 During the debates the government described the bill as one providing for compulsory service when voluntary enlistment failed, that is, the, voluntary system will continue but it will be backed up by a scheme of compulsory ervice, thereby insuring the number of achievements the country is required to send away every four weeks.
 The Minister for Defense, Col. J. Allen, pointed out that under the new bill no class of men was exempt, be- cause that had proved to be a mistake in England.
 The few Laborites in the House op- posed the bill. One of them, P. Webb declared that since New Zealand had provided 6O,OO0 men out of Her popu- lation of a million, 1t was an insult to the country to say that the voluntary system had failed. In England New Zealand was being held up as recruit ing example to the rest of the Empire, and in proportion to the population New Zealand led Australia, South Af- rica and Canada in the number of men furnished.

Dutch Consort To
 Visit Switzerland

The Hague, Netherla Is, July 25.- For the first time since the outbreak of the war, Prince Henry of the Neth- erlands, the consort of the Queen, has left Dutch soil. Accompanied by two members of the Dutch nobility, he has gone to Switzerland, where he will du- ring the next six months indulge in lmountain-climbing It was particular fly stated that he would nuot leave the train in passing through Germany. The fact that the Prince, or, as he was known before his marriage, the Duke of Mecklenburg, is a German by birth, and that his sympathies natural ly lie with Germany, led to his move ments being followed with more than ordinary attention in the opening stages of the war, when some curious stories went the round on the sub feet. But Prince Henry has nothing whatever to do with Hollands policy or administration, and most of his pub- lIc appearances in the past two years of war have been in various activities tconnected with the Red Cross organi- zation here, of which he is President and in which he takes the greatest in tterest. For the rest, he has resided ia good deal at the Royal country seat
 ot "Iet Loo" where hunting has been lamong his occupations. A day or two
 ago he was noticed taking a stroll 1 trough the Hague woods accompanied iby one of the little tame deer from the
 Royal House in the Wood. which fol-
 lowed him like a dog.
 ! Royal duties make it impossible for
 Queen Wilhelmina-to accompany her

 ity has just gone with the little Prin-
 cess Juliana to stay at Katwyk, a quiet
 little seaside place few miles north of

TRUCkMEN AND
 FARMERS SCRAP
 OVER LOT SPACE
New Haven Road May Have to Settle Dispute Over
 Parking Room.

Friction between the farmers al- has greatly served to keep conges- ton off of the main city arteries and the truckmen who for years have utilized the New Haven railroads lot at Wall and Water streets, threatens today to disrupt the farmers plans for a large marketplace in this city. r For many years farmers and truck gardeners bringing produce to this city have sold their produce to ped dlers and others from the street, stop ping their wagons at the curb for this purpose. Recently most of the more prominent gardeners got permission from the New Haven road to utilize the Water street lot. They assessed each member a nominal fee. Truck men who had formerly stored their wagons on the lot free of charge are reported to have demurred to the as- sessment, which in turn created a similar feeling among some of the truck gardeners, who, likewise, re- fused payment but still parked their wagons there.
 Today it was said that unless har. mony was restored between the war ring factions the lot would be re- turned to the New Haven road. Ii had been hoped to form such a union by the present plan that a large mar ket would result. The police assert today that truck gardeners wagons are again returning to Main street where they impede traffic somewhat during the morning hours.

Hello Girls" Are
 Praised for Nerve

London, July 25.-Telephone girls bravery during Zeppelin raids and the Irish rebellion which they helped to quell featured the annual report of the postoff1ce department in conjunction with which the telephone system in this country is operated by the govern ment.
 "when the Zeppelin raids have been anticipated, sometimes when they have been going on,' says the report, "the women, have come out of their homes to their work-even when bombs were dropping. They have played an im- portant part in the scheme of air raid warnings and have set very good example to the whole country.
 Tn Dublin, when the bullets were flying and the fires were raging, the women stuck to their work in the ex- change, and it was due to them that communication was kept up and that we were able to obtain the military forces which suppressed the rebellion"
 More than 25,000 women have re- placed men in positions in the post of flee department and telephone system, the report further shows. Out of 90,- 900 men of military age in these de- partments, 56,000 have joined the col .ors and 21,700 others have attested and only await the call to arms.

Especial to the Farmer.)
 Baltimore, July 24.-England does not expect to capture the German U- boat Deutschland immediately after that craft leaves the capes off Chesa peake bay, but when the undersea carrier seeks the surface of the Att lantic ocean, according to semi-offi-
 cial statements made here to-day. Commodore John Greville Haslam, formerly Captain Haslam of the Royal
 Yacht Squadron of Halifax who arriv-
 ed here Saturday from Nova Scotia and Boston stated at the Altamont ho- tel to-day that a great fleet of aero-
 planes and fast express-cruisers upon
 which armament has been mounted will form a patrol that will extend from America to the English and Ger
 man coast.
 About 80 aeroplanes had been as-
 semb1ed at Halifax with 9 smaller
 number of fast express scout cruisers.
 These have been sent to sea to be att tacheG in units of five aeroplanes and three scout cruisers to each of the hattleship patrons that are now on the Atlantic ocean. .,- Commodore Haslam indie ated that will the five aeroplanes flying in sec
 tors from battleship stations. wide
 al eas of the Atlantic will be patrolled.
 There will be little opportunity for the Deutschland to appear on or near the
 surface during the daytime. Tn the ey ent of the German undersea ooat be- ing sighted the battleships ani express
 cruisers will pursue while the aero
 planes will watch for her real.pearance after submergence.
 It will be probable that once sight ei, warships and sc ou. cruisers of the
 30 ard 5o-foot type will form 6. chain acd net barricade that will obs olutely surround the Deutschland and, prevent
 her further passage" said Captain Haslam.
 Ut is a we'll known fact that aero-
 plane crews at heights may see in the water. to aA far greater depth than a crew may be seen from the deck of a vessel and that submarine submerged to any depth meets much greater re- sistance in travel. While England had
 no knowledge of the sailing of the U- boat from Germany it now has definite knowledge of the sailing time from America.
 "It is not likely with this knowledge and the preparations that have been made for her capture that she will ever make the passage across the ocean safely for their will not be minute of daylight during which aeroplanes will not observe great stretches of the ocean,"
 While Commodore Haslam is not known to be officially connected with active service of the British govern
 ment the fact that he is connected
 with the reserve forces of the Nova
 Scotia Reserve Squadron and is per-
 mitted while with the club, to fly the
 blue ensign of his Majesty's fleet,
 coupled with his recent departure from
 Halifax, gives his statements great
 weight.

Aeroplane Used By
 Papua Explorers

Melbourne, Australia, July 25.-Dr. Eric Mjoberg, Q Swedish scientist and afrman, has requested permission of the Commonwealth authorities to use an aeroplane in exploring the interior of Papua or British New Guinea, some parts of which have never been seen
 by white man, but the Australian au- 1 thorities have refused to sanction his project for fear of trouble with the natives. The English police are al- ready hunting down<some natives who recektly killed one of their men with
 poisoned arrows, and although the na- tives are not feared for their fighting strength. the authorities are opposed to any unnecessary intrusion into their territory.
 An explorer who recently headed an expedition from Dahiti River had an
 unusual experience. When I ap-
 preached the natives" he said, "they
 stood and gazed at me, and in less than two minutes many of them tainted and collapsed at my feet. At another
 place chief came within a few yards of me and when went to take hold
 of his arm he tainted and fell into the
 bed Of the creew. The whole crowd
 then assembled around me and pros- trated themselves"

MISSIONARY BEHEADED.

f. Macao. China, January. 1S16- During the past few months there
 has been several cases of hostility
 towards Roman Catholic Christians
 in China. One European missionary was beheaded in Sxe Chuan, a west ern province. A native priest was
 also put to death there by the vice. roy. Several others were punished by

 China has been much agitated for
 several years by a disposition to re- bellion, and by associate banditties in
 different parts of the empire. A Tar

 gently but has been suppressed. MT. Milne, at Malacca, is doing well. He has a school consisting of about 90 Chinese children and his we'll written tracts are sent around to various ChiS nese settlements, and occasionally to China itself.
