WAY DOWN IN ARIZONA.

A travelling salesman who goes into
every nook and corner of Arizona, Wis
itirg the w. c. T. u. booth at the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition, asked what we
knew OF the results of prohibition In
Arizona. Miss Brown, the director, re-
peated some Of the statements which
had come to her from residents and
travellers, not at all knowing his att.
tude in the matter. Then he told her
that he had been in all parts of the
state, having gone over the territory
for fourteen years. He said: You
cannot exaggerate changed conditions
In the mines the accidents have de-
creased 80 per cent. the efficiency has
more than doubled, and the physical
appearance Of the communities has
greatly improved. The faces of men
look far fresher, healthier and happi-
er. Business has improved greatly.
Merchants and other business men
who formerly opposed prohibition ON
the ground of injury to business. are
now its greatest boosters and would
not allow return to old conditions.
Prohibition has come to stay In Ari-
IONA" The visitor admitted that he
had always been accustomed to take
his glass of beer and liked a glass OF
wine with his meals, but declared
there is not one argument for the con.
tinuance of the liquor traffic.

THERE'S A MORAL.

From the Sacramento Union comes
the following: A well-known resident
OF Sacramento the other day met on
train two men and their wives who
had come from Kansas seeking farms
in California. He asked them why
they did not investigate the country
around Sacramento, as it offered many
opportunities for the home-seeker.
They replied that they had spent
three days in this city and had been
much impressed with what they saw.

VERDUN BATTLE Is
BECOMING LESS VIOLENT

Paris March IL G2:05 n. m.)-The
battle Of Nerdun Is fast dwindling in
intensity. The Germans have in no
way impaired the main defenses of the
fortress, Notwithstanding the violence
of their onslaughts. Whether they will
make another big effort after q lull
or whether the battle will end. as did
the other great offensives on the west
ern front, by return to normal cOndi-
tions of trench warfare, cannot be
discerned at present, but French mill
tary opinion is inclined TO believe the
latter win be the case.
On the west bank of the Meuse the
Germans, foclps an effective curtain
of fire from the French, have made no
further attempts ON Bethincourt They
contented themselves with winning
back. at reavy cost, portions of Cor
beaux wood which were wrested from
them on the preceding day. The de-
termined nature of the attack there in
dicates the Germans evidently intend
if possible to drive through Cumiercs
wood to the village and get in between
Dead Man and Goose hills.
Fighting to the east of the Meuse
at present is hardly as active as it
is west of the river. The ranks of the
Germans We're depleted by heavy loss

Chicago, March ll.--After more

of the city civil service commission in

which will be made public tomorrow
or Monday, is said to allow the en-
tire matter TO revert to its original

rsr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LsssrD wiss,


III Paso, Tex, March 1l.-With the
exception of La Constitution, the pub
lication of which has been stopped by
the police, the newspapers published
here in Spanish have refrained from
editorial comment on the action Of
the United States government In the
pursuit of villa.
El Paso Del Norte. an influential
Independent paper, spreads the head
ing across the front page, "The Ann
erican Government orders the Inya-
sion of MeXico!' but adds as a sub
heading. "Fhe Same Government Says
Invasion Is Not Intervention. II
then uses the Associated Press mat
ter from Washington and Columbus in
translation.
El Norte also Independent and not
favoring either villa or Carranza,
plays IN in large type the announce
ment, To-day Begins the Invasion by
North American Troops" But it
uses the same material its it's rival and
devotes itself otherwise to specula-
tion az to the whereabouts OF villa
and the points where the Americans
are likely to strike first.
La Constitution, which Is said 10
favor the party of Felix Diar came
out as little more than a pamphlet of
protest against Washington's attitude.
On its front page huge black letters
across its columns proclaimed
we Protest. with this statement
beneath:
''Villa is Not Mexico.
The paper then went Oh to say that
individuals Of all countries commit
crimes against other countries and
one crime Is no worse than another
that the large and peaceable Mexl-
can colony in El Paso surely can not
be held responsible for the act of one
man, such as villa, and the invasion
Of Mexico Will cause racial feeling to
arouse itself on both sides with the
result both countries may suddenly
become involved in struggle.
In an editorial on the subject the
Constitution declares that the United
States has intervened officially in
the recent Mexican revolutions. the
newspapers have published articles
and cartoons to stir up American
popular feeling IN regard to Mexican
affairs not long ago praised villa as
the Napoleon OF Mexico. ana that
American business interests have
helped TO finance and equip various
revolutionary parties for selfish reas-
ons. Then in heavily loaded type the
paper recalls the case of French in
terventlon in Mexico IN 1862 under
treaties that were afterwards entire
ly disregarded in the forcing Of Max
imilian upon a throne. La Consti-
tucion implies that the pending inva-
sion is likely to result in the same

GERMAN LOSSES SMALL
AT NERDUN, BERLIN SAYS

Berlin, March 10 (via London, 12:26
D. m THE German losses in the Yer
dun operations up To the end of last
week, though accurately and officially
still unknown, are said to reach a total
Of only a few thousand in killed,
wounded and missing, according to a
statement obtained through authorita-
tive sources.
Details of the attack on Fort NauX,
published here show that the general
attack began March Z.
Covered by hail of shell which
kept down the fire of the French bat
teries and infantry, German regiments
pressed steadily forward until late in
the night when a brilliant storm gave
them possession of Fort NauX.
That the French later were able to
eject the Germans from this position Is
declared here to be one of those in
cidents which always is to be expected
in war without affecting the ultimate
success of the operations.
Westward of the river Meuse the
town of Bethincourt still is in French
hands, but German newspapers de-
clared that the advanced positions of
Dead Mans hill, commanding Bethin-
court, are in the hands of the Ger
mans.
