remain in an intermediate position"
probably between New York and
Hampton Roads; and the next news
TO reach the commander might be
that the enemy had attacked the New
England coast or was approaching
the Panama Canal.
The letter sums up the value of the
cruisers as follows:
They are ideal, first, because their
very high speed enables them to
search out an enemy force and get
information back with regard to that
force, and, second, because If they
meet an enemy force they have great
power OF resistance, if the force is one
which they can properly resist and
great power of avoidance if the force
which they meet is one which calls
for avoidance. The characteristic of
a battle cruiser is that it has very
high speed associated with very great
gun power, and especially very long
range gun power"

tons that there is no such demand
in the present war for vessels Of the
battle cruiser type as would exist in
war on the Atlantic or Pacific, nor
is there any opportunity for these
ships to give evidence of their value in
the primary role for which they are
intended. This role I attempted to de-
fine before the Naval Committee is as
follows:
The second respect in which the

or would be hampered, in the event
Of war is that it has no battle cruis

words, we have no means of gaining

movement of an enemy force or of
denying to the enemy information as
to our own location or movements.

The Admiral here called attention

Joe Smarr, assistant county engineer,
arrived in Parker Tuesday afternoon,
accompanied by Bill De Spain, the
deputy sheriff. Mr.. Smarr announced
that ne is getting ready to begin work
on the county highway between Bouse
and Parker. In fact, he said. sixteen
head of mules were shipped this week
for Bouse, but nobody believed him.
He stated that he was ordered to build
the new highway as for as the reser-
walton line, abouteight miles southeast
Of Parker, just where he did not know.
Asked whether the county would COM
plete the road into Parker he stated
that he could not tell, his instructions
were only as far as the line. but that
the board would go as far as the money
would hold out. 1t is needless to say
that the money will play out about
eight miles from Parker, every mile of
which is bottomless sand.

The Parker Garage, owned by
J. E. Beck, was entered by some
person early Tuesday morning
and So. IS in cash and three inner
auto tubes taken. Just how an
entrance was gained is not
known as none of the door locks
had been forced, though in the
morning the back door was found
open. At midnight on Monday
Mr.. Beck entered the garage up
on his return from short trip,
and nothing was disturbed at
that time, so entrance must have
been effected later on. AS the
money taken had been cached on
the premises, it looks very much
as though the thief were familiar
with things about the place.

Destructive Fire Averted.

During the heavy wind storm
that prevailed last Monday even
ing about seven o'clock, Parker
was saved from a fire, that would
have surely swept the entire
business purtion of town, through
the presence of mind and quick
action on the part of Mrs. w. w.
Dunbar. Mrs. Dunbar was en-
gagged in preparing the evening
meal, using a wickless coal oil
stove, when something went
wrong with the burner and a
huge flame shot up toward the
low ceiling, threatening an ex-
plosion of the oil tank and the
immediate destruction of the
building unless something were
done at once. The lady, with
rare presence of mind and re-
markable self-control, instead of
risking the loss of precious time
in calling for help, did things
herself. At once she seized a
couple of tarpaulins near at hand
and covered the stove completely;
then concluding that that would
not be sufficient to smother the
fire she added several quilts
taken from the beds and then
drenched the whole covering
with water. The fire was sooa
and Mrs. Dunbar re-
moved the covering, repaired the
defective burner, relit the stove
and went right on preparing the
meal where she left off, with as
much regard to minor details as
though nothing at all had hap
pened. A veritable hurricane
was blowing at the time from
the southeast and had the house
taken fire nothing could have
saved the entire row of houses
on that side of California street
as they were directly in the
winds course, so we may we'll
be thankful for Mrs. Dunbar's
quick decision and effective
work.

The friends of Constable John
Roberts were circulating his
nomination petition this week
among the Republican voters to
have his name placed upon the
ticket for reelection. Registered
Republicans in Parker, unlike
the devils host, are not legion,
the proverbial corporals guard
being a fair representation of
them numerically.

Was in the Wreck.


o. M. Spence, cashier of the Com
mercial Bank, returned Tuesday night
after an absence of several days at
Phoenix, whittier he had gone on busi-
ness. Mr.. Spence was on the train
that was wrecked near that place
last Saturday, and says the sus-
pense after receiving the first jolt was
awful, causing him to think of more
things to the second of time than he
could ordinarily think of in the course
of lifetime, though it would seem
that you wouldn't have time to even
think you think. He gripped the seat
with both hands, he says. when tho
shock came but presently he found
himself whirling through space until he
finally landed on top of a fat woman
who had found the floor first. AS both
people were fat neither was hurt by
the impact From the way those cars
were tumbled around he declares it
was nothing short of a miracle that
nobody was killed or seriously injured.

STALLED ON
THE DESERT
A PARTY OF PROMINENT LOS AN.
CELES PEOPLE NEARLY PERISH
NEAR OSBORNE's WELL BEFORE
ASSISTANCE COMES.

An automobile party, consist
ing of E. S. Shank, Judge J. H
Longden and wife, DR.. John
Milton Scott, DR.. J. D. Gordon,
DR.. w. H, Rozier (the two latter
colored) and their chauffeur,
Walter E. Bennett, was stalled
out on the desert about two miles
this side of Osborne's we'll, last
Sunday. and that they did not
perish from the heat and thirst
was very fortunate, for they had
a narrow escape.
The members of the party were
all prominent Los Angeles peo-
pie who were travelling through
Arizona looking after suitable
lands for the purpose of founding
a colonization scheme for colored
people.
They had come form Phoenix
that day and all went well until
at the point above stated when a
tyer punctured. They continued
to run the machine but finally the
rim broke and the entire wheel
gave way. They abandoned the
auto, concluding to walk to the
nearest settlement, though they
had no idea where or how far
that might be. ALI of them be-
ing rather portly people and
wholly unaccustomed to desert
conditions, they necessarily made
very little headway and suffered
greatly. Their drinking water
began to ran short and thew
were becoming very weak,
almost at the point of callapse,
from the effect of the intense
heat, when fortunately a team
ster happened along and took
them aboard his wagon. Fur
ther on the road they were over
taken by Judge Bennett of Los
Angeles who happened along in
an automobile on his way to the
coast, so he relieved the team
ster OF a part of his load. By
evening all were safely landed
in Parker and their needs i'm
mediately attended to. The
members of the party were all
very much exhausted and DR..
Gordon collapsed Immediately
upon reaching town.
Strange to say Mrs. Longden,
who is a physician. showed more
fortitude and courage than any
of the men, and recognizing,
through her professional knowl-
edge, the insidious premonitory
symptoms they all showed, she
kept them moving and it was

BY CARL ACKERMAN.

BY CARL ACKERMAN.
BERLIN, May 10.-There
is a feeling here that IL
strong neutral nation like
the United States should I'M
dertake to negotiate for
peace It might succeed.
Diplomats regard the recent
statements of President Poincaire
and Sir Edward Grey as the open
ing guns of an informal peace
discussion, although expressions
OF allied leaders, ranged along
side Chancellor Hollweg's recent
speech, do not appear to be con-
ciliatory.
1t has not been decided wheth-
er replies to the Poincaire and
Grey statements will be published
here, but it is probable.
I One official declared today that
the making of peace now would
be no more difficult than adjust
ing the submarine issue.
l have just returned from Hol-
land. The Dutehmen believe the
French, English and German peo-
pie desire peace. The impression
in Holland Is that the time for
a decisive victory for either side
has passed, although a summer
offensive on each side is expect
ed.
The Dutch think il is
Americas duty TO act now.
They believe the time is ripe
for bringing the belligerents
together. One said that il
peace talk continues few
months, each side will learn
enough of what the other
wants to bring peace by OctO-
Der.
The Hollander believes As
quith and Hollweg might make
peace, but that the Poincaire,
Kitchener and Northcliffe group
are anxious to continue the war.
Hollanders believe the war
group in England expects that
America will become involved
with Germany over the subma-
iihO ioSuo, anu thdt Wuilc tueTc IL
a chance of Americas becoming
involved they think England will
continue the war.
1 Rebellion Unlikely.
/ was surprised when Holland
ers asked me when the German
food revolt would start.
Although food is short, and the
shortage may increase, new gov
eminent regulations prevent food
demonstrations and provide live
able rations.
Nothing like the Irish rebellion
is likely here.
The Dutch are most friendly
to the United States, desiring that
America lead the way to peace.
