 It's Leap Year.
 Few have come to the realization that the year. now upon the country. carries that wonderful privilege for women--in other words, the right to make advances. Though there has been no indication that the women of the city and District have already be- gun their work. it Is felt that there is ample room for their efforts.
 Politics.
 The city primaries come in April. The city election follows in May. From the city election to the county and state primaries is not a long jump, and from that time to county. state and national elections is another short period Between business. pleasure and politics the District promises to be more than occupied.
 Already some hats have been thrown into the ring and in the next few months or even weeks. there promises to be a succession of declarations. In the city election 1t would appear that the republican ranks will be solid a. gainst the democrats. This may throw Bisbee again into the republican col umn. The county. state and national elections, in Arizona, also promise to see the republicans and progressives on some common ground and the best fight. of a political nature. since 1910 is anticipated

WASHINGTON AWAITS DETAILS

WASHINGTON, Jan. l. = Official Washington anxiously awaited de tails of the torpedoing of the British steamer Persia, on which an American is said to have embarked. While it is realized that reports from consular representatives might show the sub marine commander was justified in sinking. the vessel, officials are not inclined to minimize the the gravity of the situation confronting the United States. should it develop that there has been violation of American rights.
 It is admitted that new dangers threaten the relations between the United States and the Central Powers which seemingly had just been placed on the road to satisfactory adjust ment by the assurance ia Austria's reply to the second Ancona note.
 Should it develop the submarine was of Austrian nationality, as there is apparently ground for believing. the Vienna government will be given op- pOrlunlly to eAplell.
 One American citizen was on board. Robert McNeely, the newly appointed consul at Alden. The belief is ex- pressed in official circles that had McNeely escaped. there would be some report from him as more than two days have elapsed since the yes sel was sunk.
 The State Department desires to determine definitely whether the Per sia tried to escape, or if the torpedo was fired at her before she stopped m the warning given, and if the pas sengers were given sufficient time to leave the vessel.
 Two official dispatches reached the State Department from Consul Gener- al Snyder at London confirming press dispatches. Copies were transmitted to the President at Hot Springs.
 The Department requested informa- ton from the representative at Alex andria and other points where surviv- ors might be landed. In the absence of specific details Secretary Lansing is declined to comment. He made it clear that no action would be taken until the nationality of the submarine was established and the circumstances of the attack known.
 It is realized that if it was an Austri- an submarine, Vienna might offer the explanation that insufficient time had elapsed for the new instructions. con- frming assurances contained in the last Ancona note, to reach the sub marine commanders.
 It is pointed out that this note was delivered Wednesday and the attack on the Persia was on Thursday. Whether the new instructions had gone to submarine commanders is un- known here. Should an explanation be made, accompanied by the proper disavowal and a provision for repara- tion, the United States would accept. Officials of the State Department are not inclined to doubt the good faith or the assurances of Austria.

Frederick A. Fenning of the Monday

sidered too small a space-in nearby
Virginia or Maryland. Following his
address, the organization adopted a
resolution approving the project.
He suggested that, whereas. in the
past, the good of society was solely
considered in the segregation of the
mentally defective, today it recognized
that such persons have rights and ca
pacity to enjoy life of which they
should not be robbed. He urged that
the time is not ripe for euthanasia, or
the killing off of the defcients and alb
normal humans, as there have been too
many discoveries in the memory of liv-
ing men to preclude the hope that some
thing may be discovered TO restore nor
