Austria asking Austria to apologize.
Is that right? And did Austria apol-
ogize2"
"Not at once. She tried to argue.
but the United States said there was
nothing to argue. The Austrian ad-
miralty had reported to the Austrian
government that the Ancona was tor.
pedoed after her engines had been
stopped and the passengers were still
on board So the United States sent
another note tC Austria which was
very polite. but very firm, insisting
that Austria disavow the act.
You see, President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing are standing up for
the rights Of noncombatants. They
are trying to protect the lives Of
people who are not taking part i'm the
war, but who happen to be i'm the war
countries or on the seas where naval
warfare is going on"
And has the United States carried
its point % asked Joe.
Apparently" replied Uncle Harry.
"Austria's reply to our second note
is regarded as meeting our demands.
It says that Austria agreed that the
sacred laws of humanity should be
taken into account also in war and
promises that enemy private vessels,
so far as they do not flee or offer re-
sistance. shall not be destroyed before
the persons on board are secured
THE United States is reasonable in
its demands It. admits that a sub
marine can do nothing but sink a ship
if the ship persists in trying to escape.
But if the ship stops its engines and
lies to when ordered. the United
States insists that the passengers
shall be allowed to take to the boats
before the ship is torpedoed or she'll
b ed. If the ship does try to run away
then the submarine is within its
rights in sinking it with the passen-
gers on board
But the Ancona did try TO run
away, didn't it," asked joe

For instance, who will deny that
the seven millions could easily build
warships big and unsuitable floating
batteries, etc. etc, at such a prodig-
ious rate as easily to overtake and out
strip the four millions?
On the question of the control OF the
seas lies the crux OF the whole war.
The land operations are deadlocked,
and very probably will remain so. In
the power OF the British navy lies the
only rays of hope leading to victory
that the Allies can see. Indeed. il the
war continues to its logical conclu-
sion the control OF the seas will have
been tried out. On the outcome the
Germans can look with complacency
Let the Central Allies start building
war craft at highest economical speed
Suppose the Allies, il they could. did
build twice as many. Result, the Al
lies would simply be exhausted the
sooner. However, suppose the Allies
struck a happy medium and built -four
TO every three their opponents built
Result. the Allies would finally have
one and one-half, or less, times the
number their opponents would have
For the sake OF argument we sre con-
ceding that the Allies can overcome
their mental inferiority: that they car
completely man the larger number OF
ships; that they can build as fine
ships, and as powerful cannon as
their opponents. etc. etc. without end

b|GGEST[ LAND
 FILING MADE
Santa Fe Applies for Patent On 670,000 Acres of At lantic-P acific Grant; Will
 Nearly Clean Up All ot Grant

Surpassing every former filing in magnitude, was that of W. F. Tallia- ferro, land agent for the Santa Fe, on 670,000 acres of Arizona land, with the local land office yesterday morning. The fee for the filing amounted to $S,400, the largest single fee ever paid into this office.
 But few thousand acres remain to be filed on in the old Atlantic and Pacific land grant and it is understood these will be cleaned up at once
 Beside eliminating one of the oldest land grants from the records of the public domain, the determination of the Santa Fe to take over all the Atlantic Pacific lands will result in the addition of about a million dollars to the tax able lands of the four northern counties. The grant originally included alternate sections in strip forty miles on either side of the main line of the Santa Fe across Arizona. Lands on which appli- cations for patent remained to be made up to yesterday, totaled about 700,00O acres, so that now, about 30,000 acres of the grant remain in the public do- main. Representatives of the land de- partment of the Santa Fe have been going over the records and listing the lands by official description, prior to making the lump application yesterday.

COURT GETS.
 LOOK AT PENS|ONL LAW
Will Decide Whether or Not Mothers Are to Receive Compensation for
 Age and Children

Whether or not the old age and mothers pension act, by initiated referendum is constitutional was the question argued pro and con yester- day before the supreme court.
 l.. H. Buckstegge, a tax payer of the state allowed his name to be used in the test suit started in the superior court of Apache county. Judge George H. Crosby decided that the law was unconstitutional.
 The state board of control, against whom the suit was started, carried the case to the higher court
 Assistant Attorney General George Harben argued the case for the state, while the opposite side was taken by W. E. Ryan, H. N. Fennemore. Ryan brought up the point that the law put out of commission all aims hcs,ses he contended that the state hospital for the insane was in that class, and thus would be legislated out Of ex- istance, allowing Faltin and any mum Der of insane people to go free witf a pension of $15 a month.

 DEFEND THEIR TITLES
[Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, March 24.-In the same ring here tonight two worlds champions successfully defended their titles. Freddie Welsh, lightweight ti- tleholder, scored a technical knockout over Frank Whitney of Cedar Rapids, Ia, while Johnny Kilbane. feather weight champion. defeated Harry Donohue, of Peoria, III.
 Welsh was the aggressor in the first bout from the start and by the time the fourth round was reached, Whitneys nose was bleeding and both eyes were closed so badly that he was forced to quit. The first and fourth rounds of the featherweight bout was even the other rounds, es- pecially the sixth, being Kilbane's. Donohue in the sixth opened an old wound over the champions left eye.
 With a rush, Kilbane overwhelmed Donohue with rights to the jaw and the two fell to the floor of the ring, Kilbane on top. Donohue was down for a count of eight, only to be knocked down again for a count of six when he struggled to the ropes and was saved by the bell. The next four rounds found Kilbane the aggressor but Donohue managed to avoid a knockout. Kilbane weighed 12S and Donohue 134.

Today marks the advent of Phoe- earnest selling campaign, to interest local consumers. In the goods pre- sented at various retail stores by the Arizona Food Products company, are used Salt river valley grape fruit, peppers, olives and cheese.
 All the better markets are to carry today, the full line of the Arizona Food Products company, which con- sist of grape fruit marmalade, pi- mento cheese and olive pimento cheese
 The first invasion of an outside city with a similar selling campaign is made in Florence, where the Flor ence Commercial company will be distributors.
 The words Phoenix Brand" have been adopted to distinguish the prod ucts. Quality First" is the motto to which the manufacturers will adhere.
 For long time, Phoenix has been quietly working on canneries and manufacturing plants, in an attempt to interest capital in such ventures. It is said that the company which is backing the present venture is to realize many of the dreams of To- cally controlled manufactures, which will utiize some of the wonderful agricultural products of the valley. In other words, out of the present industry, will grow others, which will end in turning the city into manu- facturlng and distributing center, on a par with the great agricultural val ley.
 The company is being backed by some of the strongest boosters the valley has. Dr. John Dennett, Jr, is president; Irving De R. Miller. sec retary and Dwight B. Heard and Roy Is Goodrich, directors.
