RAID MAY SERVE TO
BRING CRISIS TO HEAD
General Trevino Has Practically Com

pleted Disposition Of Troops.
Ell Paso, Texas.-Excitement here
over the MeHlcmn controversy was re-
newed with the receipt of news Of
the bandit raid across the border near
Hachita, resulting in the murder Of
William Parker, American ranchman
and his wife. The general sentiment
seemed to be that the incident demon
strated anew the inability OF the Car.
rama government to offer any pro-
lection to the American frontier and
would serve to bring matters to a
head quickly.
Mexican reports indicated that Gen
eral Trevino. commanding the Car
rama army corps OF the North, has
practically completed the disposition
OF his troops in preparation for possi.
BILE hostilties with the United States.
The command, the strength of which
variously is estimated from 5000 to
10000 men. has been distributed along
the two railroads to Chihuahua, the
Mexican Central and the Mexican
Northwestern, and in the Santa Maria
River Valley. in such a way as to
menace the American line communica.
tion and present an obstacle to a pos
sible American drive toward Chihua
hua City.

ed by ReItase Of Prisoners.
San Antonio, Tex.-General Funston
received a report from Brigadier Cen
eral Bell at FL Paso, which stated Gen.
eral Bell had been notified by Mexi-
can Consul Garcia that the American
prisoners taken at Carrizal now are
on the way north to Juarez. Accord
ing to the report, Mr.. Garcia had re-
ceived word from General Jacinto
Trevino that the American prisoners
with their arms and accoutrements
were to be delivered &C once to the
American authorities. The report was
forwarded at once to Washington by
General Funston.
There were no indications at head
quarters that General Trevino's order
for the liberation OF the prisoners
would effect in any way the move
ment Of National Guardsmen toward
the border
While several reports were received
from General Pershing there was moth.
ing to indicate clashes in the territory
occupied by the American expedition
General Funston has urged the war
department to expedite the transfer
OF recruits for the regular army from
eastern recruiting stations to the bor-
der. These men are needed at once
not only to fill up the ranks of the
new regiments provided by the army
increase bill but to strengthen the old
regiments depleted by the transfer Of
soldiers to the new regImnts.
Word was received here through
railroad sources that the Missouri
troops, the destination OF which has
heretofore been simply somewhere
in Texas" were to be sent direct to
Laredo.

Youswho attended the State Fair at Phoenix know full we'll the section of the state that captured the first prizes. We told you in several of our preceding announcements about the high quality products raised on the fertile soils of mile-high Yavapai County. Our statements were sub- stantially proved by the awards of the judges at the Fair. If you ever had any doubt about the crop rais- ing ability of this wonderful farm land---you certainly MUST BE CON- WINGED NOW.
 There were 30 contestants for the alfalfa prize We didn't even anticipate entering OUT bale of alfalfa It simply taken out Of the stack without any selection whatever-yet we won the first prize easily Doesn't this prove that produce the best alfalfa n the state? Doesn't this prove to Arizona dairynlen that Little Chino Valley alfalfa has higher feeding value than that which he is feeding to his stock now? Do you realize that Prescott dairyman captured the first prize for milk? Doesn't this prove that we produce the best feed in the state for dairy COWS? Yavapai County has won the milk prize for three years in sue cession- therefore the Milk Trophy becomes our per manent property Is it any wonder that our dairymen receive such high prices for their milk?
 Of course we captured M the first prizes for fruits we've always done that Do you wonder that our apple and peach crops worth thousand dollars and up ward per acre?
 We've never mentioned anything about ability to produce citrus fruit ct you know that we landed the first prize for orange and cecond prize for grapefruit in direct competition with he citrus country around Phoenix Is it stranqa then that we sold over S20OOOO worth of land during the first 60 days of our campaign TO SALT RIVER VALLEY RANCHERS? Don't you think you'd better 40 acres or more of this wonderful land and water before it is all sold? The supply is very limited
 Remember that control the highest priced market for farm products in America. We are permanently protected by high freight tariff Call write for illustrated booklet which gives the facts about the whole situation.

THE SUBMARINE RAID.

One of the great outstanding facts of the war has been the British navy. IL has done its work without any self laudation, efficiently. and secretly. Had the navy not been so efficient some of the aspects would have been very different.
 The British naval preparations to meet every emergency that should arise has so far been adequate al. though Teutonic ingenuity and re- sourcefulness have ut times put heavy stain on the great forces of the greatest of sea powers.

American ports instead of trying to cut 1t of es it approaches it's destin- ation leads one to wonder whether the British admiralty has made pro- vision to meet such an eventuality. As the radius of submarines activity l has hitherto been supposed to be 50 small that trans Atlantic trip seem. ed impossible 1t is quite likely that British high naval command had dis. missed this contingency as too re- mote 70 require any .checkmate.
 However. now that the Germans havs es in done the seemingly impos- sihie the British neet has already ap- pearr6 on .ae scene Of operations in force and 1t was there too in twenty four hours after the first blow was struck. 1t did not take the fast cruis- CTS long to arrive from Canadian wa ters and more ships are speeding from the Carribean and from mid.Atlantic.
 The first result of the raid was to tie up New York shipping It will be interesting to observer whether the U- boats will continue about the ocean highway from New York or whether they will bob up in some unexpected place, although in view of what they have done no move can be considered as entirely unexpected in the future. They may attack shipping at Quebec next. or appear off Galveston. Tex. for that matter. Their future operations. owing to the mystery surrounding them hold the imagination as do few other operations of the war.
 The methods to be used by the British In checking submarine activi- ties Is also equally interesting and the outcome will be watched with greatest curiosity.
