 Plotting among the revolutionary section of the Indians in America un- doubtedly continues, but we are keep ing a close watch on them, not that we fear serious outbreak, but because we wish to protect the people of India from the murders and robberies prac- ticed by those conspirators who re- turned at the outbreak of the war. l understand that the attention of the United States government has been called to the matter.
 "In conclusion I might add this per tinent fact: Out of the 100000 In dian troops recruited for the British army since the war began, the Pun jab, though it's population is only one twelfth that of the Indian empire, has furnished 50 per cent, and of these no less than one-third are Sikhs, though they form only one-tenth of the popu- Iation of the Punjab. Thus the mis- deeds of a few thousands of the com munity so far from affecting the tra- loyalty of the Sikhs has only the Sikh nation to greater service and greater sacrifices in the cause of the empire to which they are proud to belong"

THE WRONG WAY ID BUILD 4 TOWN
(From Wednesdays Daily Miner.) Editor Daily Miner:

AEIOm VI eQnesoayS 8 Da1ly mlner.l Editor Daily Miner:
 Do you want your town to prosper and grow larger day by day? Then the business men will have to change their method of doing business.
 Kingman is one of the best situated towns in the state so far as natural rock and gravel for building purposes is concerned, but the trustees and boards of education see fit to build of concrete instead of stone, thereby overlooking its handsome building material and giving the local quarry men a slap in the face. The money that should go into the pockets of local men now goes to outsiders, who never paid a cent of tax or hired other than cheap labor.
 No government buildings are con- structed of cement. Why? Because cement buildings are considered un- healthy on account of sweating and dampness. Compare the county court house with any of the cement build ings in the town and you will have to acknowledge that the comparison is odiOus.
 Yours,

MANAGER INDORSES MINER'S
 DE LUXE EDITION
(From Sundays Daily Miner.)

[ OunQAI DAAAJ
 J. B. Lindley, special representative
 of the Mohave Daily Miner in the
 preparation of the Mohave County De
 Luxe Edition, held a conference Sun
 day in Oatman with Charles F. Spill
 man, who recently assumed charge of
 the publicity department of the Cham
 Der of Mines of that camp. Mir. Spil-
 man gave his unqualified indorsement
 to the de luxe edition and volunteered
 to aid in every possible way in its
 compilation. He further stated that he hoped to see the spirit of coopera-
 tion between Oatman and not only Kingman but all the mining camps of the country developed. Continuing, he said:
 While only recently arrived in Oatman have kept fairly well in- formed concerning the district and it's development and find after brief inspection that the conditions are fully as good as the reports which l. received indicated. It certainly is a great district and the possibilities of development seem almost illimitable.
 q have heard Oatman referred to as the Rand of America but from my limited knowledge of the Rand it seems to me, that Oatman has all the best of it. The ore is of much
 higher grade and certainly can be mined and milled at a lower cost. The district, it seems to me, more nearly the Mother Lode of Califor- nia, excepting that the average grade of the ore in Oatman far surpasses that of the Mother Lode. But no two mining camps are alike, and there is TO need to compare Oatman with any other gold district. It speaks for itself.
 '"The Bureau of Mines has under taken to tell the world about what has been accomplished and what is being done, The truth about Oatman.' The object is to advance the development | of the r'i1cral resources of the dis trict by the attraction of capital. The camp is just entering an era of large | production of bullion which will be greatly increased next year by the of one of the two mills, and the construction of another one. The men who financed these producing mines when they were undeveloped prospects have won big fortunes from rheir investments. The men who know Oatman believe there are many other prospects that will develop into pig mines, and that those who invest iudiciously will have equally as fair ] chance to win fortunes. It is our jim to encourage the development of he district and at the same time to lrotect the investor from misrepre- 'entation. In mining camp jargon, the Bureau of Mines is not going to ped He the bull,' but will endeavor to tell he truth about Oatman, and to tell it where it will do the camp the most yood."

UNACCEPTABLE EXCUSE

In view of past experiences there can be no great amount of surprise over the fact that Austria offers the weak excuse which it does for the attack that was made upon the Amer ican tanker PetroIite in the Mediterra- mean. It is in accord with replies which have come from the central powers concerning the unjustifed at tacks upon humanity.
 The PetroIite was not torpedoed but it was fired upon, one or more of it's crew was injured and it was forced to give up provisions to the Austrian commander of the submersible. It was a neutral vessel engaged in legiti- mate trade and there is the testimony of it's crew to support the account of the treatment that it received at the hands of the belligerent vessel. Thus when Austria tells this country it was | thought by the submarine commander that the Petroltte was going to attack him, that he suspected that the Amer
 ican flag was flying over an enemy | vessel and that the supplies were vol | untarily given up to him there are good reasons for believing that he is endeavoring to cover up his unjustified acts. Austria's explanation fails to | jfbe in any particular with the story | of the tanker's commander, but it is
 much the same kind of excuse as was put forward following the sinking ot 1 the Lusitania and the Arabic, the tor pedoing of the Nebraskan and the
 shelling and sinking of the Ancona, in none of which cases was there the
 least Justification for the acts, or any 1 good excuse for not observing the pro-
 visions of international law, so that
 the explanation which Austria would | have this country accept regarding the Petrolite in the face of the testimony Of the tanker's commander whicF l there is no reason for doubting canno
 be looked upon otherwise than unac. 1 ceptable.

STILL AFTER VERDUN,

The renewed activity on the part of the German forces in the vicinity of Verdun indicates that, though they did not gain all that they expected through the great sacrifice of men that was made in the assault upon the strongest point in the French line, they are not discouraged. The letup may have been solely for the purpose of reorganizing or shifting their troops to other points where they can gain greater advantage as the result of the progress which has been made.
 Germany has stopped at nothing. It has provided cannon fodder as fast if not faster than the French were able to dispose of it, and as the result it has moved it's line nearer to Paris by four miles, making as great an ad- vance at this point as the French did some months ago at Champagne. France has used different tactics. It has believed it was far more advisa- ble to draw in it's lines and save its men at the expense of a little terri tory than it was to have them mown down in attempting to hold it and | thereby weakening its supply of men. Germany has lost tremendously for what 1t has gained but France has not revealed it's real strength when it 1 comes to making a determined stand, and it's losses will be small in com parison to those of its enemy. Thus the French must be regarded as bet 1 ter prepared for the resumption of ] the offensive on the part of the kali
 ser's forces even though the determi- nation to get possession of Verdur has not abated, and new ways of get | ting at the same end are apparently being used. It Is a point which Ger
 many would certainly like to get pos
 session of and it is demonstrating that
 it will leave no move untried to get it
 It is for Joffre to see that they dc
 not succeed and the smaller the sac

MORE MEXICAN TROUBLE.

If Mexico is ever going to be given 8 chance to get back onto it's feet 1t is to be hoped that the belief, ex- pressed in certain quarters, that the rebellion organized against the repub- lie in the state of Oaxaca by Felix Diaz Is doomed to failure, is well founded.
 Whether or not it Is destined to amount to anything, every such effort is bound to stir up discontent and arouse fac tions which are ready to make trou- ble provided there is some sort of a leadership. Carranza is far from be- ing firmly entrenched as the de facto president of Mexico. He has not dis posed of Vflla in the north, and in the south there is never any difficulty in getting together those who are spoil ing for a fight, but he has neverthe- less gotten Mexico to a condition where it's prospects are brighter than they have been for several years and it would be most unfortunate to throw it back into the unsettled state from

The Zone-Fare System.

Mir. Editor: The zone-fare system just introduced into Connecticut is erecting considerable excitement among the people and no little Confu- sion among the trolley conductors, who because of the change find their work greatly increased.
 The increase at zone points repre- sents from 90 to 60 per cent, and on the through fares from fl to 20 per cent What is the significance of this system? It is a new method to make the improbable trolley lines. The Nor wien. the Norwich and New London, and the GrotOn and Stonington trolley lines have always paid steady divi- tends and the Norwich and Westerly has not. and the patrons of the pay ing roads are now under one manage ment being heavily taxed to make div iderts for the road which does not pay.
 As a regular patron of the Norwich lines l am not much disturbed The habit of riding is rather detrimental to health and I am inclined to reduce inc tax upon myself and find by walk ing more and riding less, 1t would strengthen me up to cut down my fares to the road from 75 cents a the zone method will build up my physical health and afford me pleasure in some other direction. There is no necessity for wasting energy or breath upon the change for it will be speedily abandoned when the revenues are decreased instead oi i increased.

Stories or the War
!. Trapped hX French.

Do you know about the trick we played on the Germans on Caures wOod?" was the question with which 8 French soldier who had been in the Verdun fighting introduced his &C., count of an incident at the front
 Well, to the north of Verdun," he continued, "a little beyond Beaumont lies Caures wood. It was a point to which the Germans devoted special attention and therefore everything was done to give them as good a re- ception as possible.
 While our infantry on the fringe of the wood held off the enemy a lieutenant of engineers and his men made their final preparations in the wood, which has been carefully min ed beforehand. When all was ready the infantry fell back and the Ger mans, convinced that our men were bolting, tore after them in the woods, yelling exultantly.
 When the last Frenchman was safe l ly out of the woods on the other side 1 some one posted near Beaumont press ed a button. There was a heavy bom- bardment and trees mingled with bod ! les shot into the air. Virtually every man of the many in the wood had 1 been killed"

WATCH SORE THROATS

because swollen glands or lnttamed membranes often affect other tissues and lung trouble easily follows.
 As Natures corrector of throat troubles the pure cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion is speedily converted into germ-resisting tissue; its tested glycer- inc is curative and healing, while this wholesome emulsion relieves the trouble and upbuilds the forces toresist tubercular germs and avert the weak ening influence which usually follows.
 If any member of your family has tender throat, get a bottle of Scott's Emulsionto-day. Physiciansprescnbe 1t to avert throat troubles, overcome bronchial disorders and strengthen the lungs. No alcohol or harmful drugs. Always insist on Scott's.

PRICE OF GASOLINE

The question is frequently asked as to where the price of gasoline, which is steadily advancing, Is going to stop, and at the present time no one appears to be willing to definitely answer it.
 This commodity has shown an up ward tendency for many months and 1t will probably go higher before there is any substantial drop. Today it costs from 23 to 24 cents a gallon at wholesale and 27 at retail or about twice what was formerly paid for it. That the rise is due to the war in very large measure is a fact since there is a limit to the supply. It was only this week that Senator Mo Lean, speaking in behalf of a meas ure before congress which seeks 8 more liberal attitude toward the use of water power by private companies and the encourag cement of the develop ment of such privileges, declared that under existing conditions there will not be a gallon of gasoline left in this country 20 years hence.
 That may seem unbelievable but there are terrific drains being made upon the supply at the present time Better prices are being obtained fol shipments abroad than are being se- cured here and during January there were nearly seventeen million gallons of gasoline exported, or about foul million more gallons than were sent abroad in the same month last year For period of seven months ending with January the increase over sim liar period year ago has been ovel 36 million gallons
 Thus with exports increasing at tha- rate and the local consumption great. CT each year there is no telling where halt is going to be called, and in the meantime there appears to be little progress towards providing any sub. stitute for such fuel.

WHERE THE COUNTRY STANDS.

When President Wilson declares that 1t is not vote of confidence which he is seeking from that letter which he sent Congressman Pou, and which matter he subsequently took up with the foreign relations committee, but an expression by congress directly upon the question of armed merchantmen, he makes it apparent that he wants no beating about the bush and cer- ta!nly nothing of the kind can be tol- erated.
 It was only a few days ago that the president was anxious to block such resolutions as certain members of congress have been threatening to of fer warning American citizens to keep off of armed merchantmen in spite of the fact that such would be a curtailment of their rights, but the impression which has gone abroad as the result of such agitation makes it important now that there should be a clearing up of any possible misun- derstanding in regard to that point upon which there appears to be a conflict of opinion since the govern ment has taken the stand that mer- chantmen are within their rights un- der international law in arming for defensive purposes
 Thus it is plain that it is not a vote of confidence but a direct vote upon the main question which is needed. It is we'll understood that there is not the least possibility of any such res olution as would turn down the atti- tude of the government passing, but as long as the differences Of opinion are being used to imperil our negotiations with foreign nations, there is nothing else to do but clear up the situation and make it a matter of record just where congress does stand in regard to it. It is time to let the world know that the country backs up the gov ernment.

those they had known. But, as has been said, this is 1916. and, after years of peace the American people do not take so kindly to preparedness. Be- sides, there is a keen and sensitive appreciation felt by every intelligent man that a plan should be devised to make wars impossible; that if the same genius, ability, thought and the amount of time and means given to other channels, were devoted to per fecting worldwide peace wonders could be effected and in the words of Sumner we could say:
 Let the bugles sound the truce of God to the whole world forever"
