HOLD LUSITANIA MEMORIAL

New York, May 10 The deferred
Lusltania memorial meeting, planned
by the American Rights committee
will be held this evening in Carne-
gle Hall. The original date of the
meeting was set for May Z, the an
niversary of the sinking of the Lusi-
tania. The idea was abandoned at
the suggestion of Mayor Mitchell
who thought that the time was not
opportune for a memorial meeting
because of the pending negotiations
between the United States and Ger
many. Mayor George Haven Put

would have to pay all the war expen-

mucn. Such position is equivalent
to announcing that, If necessary, we
shall hit, but that we shall only hit
soft. The only right principle is to
prepare thoroughly or not at all. The
only right principle is to avoid hit
ing if it is possible to do so, but
never under any circumstances to hit
soft. To go to war a littl, but not
much, is the one absolutely certain
way to ensure disaster. To prepare a

Colonel Roosevelt. 1T little matters

these ideals and achievements cannot
be reduced to action. The events of
the past, and the events of today,
show that national ideals amount to

to maintain them against opposition.
Therefore, If we are to win at

have strong and well reasoned convic-

We have refused to learn the smallest

have fatuously refused to take the

We have endeavored to deceive our
selves by announcing that in this pol

to perform duty, we are actuated by
the loftiest motives. I doubt whether
we have really deceived ourselves,
and most certainly we have not de-

BOUNDARIES OF THE
 VOTING PRECINCTS FOUND BY HODGES
Voting precincts of Bisbee,
 Lowell, Warren, Don Luis and Naco Traced Out From
 Detailed Pamphlet.

Do you happen to know the bound aries of the voting precinct of Bisbee, Lowell Warren or Don Luis?
 No?
 Joe Hodges, constable of Judge Judge George R. Smiths court in Lowell. when asked whether John Smith from someplace in the Sulphur Springs valley was entitled to vote in the Lowell precinct. he didn't know the boundary of the voting pre- cinct. Be he found out and here are some of his findings.
 Bisbee voting precinct: Consists of three townships, in the shape of a rectangle. It is fourteen miles east and west and eight miles north and south. Bisbee is practically on the south line of the voting subdivision. midway between the east and west boundaries. Bisbee is divided into three parts, ward one, two, three and four.
 Lowell voting precinct: Consists of rectangle, ten miles east and west and two miles north and south. The town of Lowell is in the extreme east end of the voting precinct, that division bounding the Bisbee precinct on the north for ten miles, Lowell is divided into two voting parts, one in Upper Lowell and one in Lowell pioper.
 Warren voting precinct: Consists of another rectangle, eight miles east and west and two miles north and south. Its west line is Lowells east ! tl l,r west line. Just exactly where the line of division exists between Lowell and Warren is lot known Conse- quently the people Of Cochise Siding and Bakerville and Warren will have to be remarkably good guessers.
 Don Luis voting precinct: Consists of an irregular piece of the country. having as it's north boundary the south lines of both the Lowell and Warren precincts, being eighteen miles east and west. Don Luis east boundary is Pirtleville's west bound ary and is nine miles east of Don Luis. which is approximately along the northern line of the precinct. The precinct extends to the international boundary from a point nine miles east of Don Luis, on a straight line, to a point one half mile west of Osborn. There is swings north two miles and then west about ten miles The Don Luis precinct includes all of the votes to within two miles of the town of Naco.
 Naco voting precinct: Consists of a perfect rectangle eight miles east and west and two miles north and south. It begins one mile west of Osborn Junction, on the International boundary ad continues west for eight miles.
 These boundaries. it might be said, are Tot those of the various justice precincts of the county. For instance. Lowell precinct No 3. for all legal purposes includes Warren, Don Luis and for a distance of about ten miles into the Sulphur Springs valley Bis bee precinct, No. 2. includes. approx imately, the limits of the city of Bis bee.
