The Crime Of Dirt.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: "Clean City!' Mayor Orders in Plague
War" What shameful heading for this
boastful twentieth century!
For three years | was obliged to live in
New York City, and the dirt and careless
garbage handling were a disgrace to any
modern city. That was in l9l2-l915. At the
time complained to the Board of Health, as
we'll as TO the drivers of the disgusting, over
flowing, open garbage wagons. All to no
avail. | remarked to my husband and friends
that there would surely be plague in New
York. Could it have happened in Colonel
Warnings day? | think not. The house
holders are not to blame for all the unsani-
tary conditions that have existed in the city.
If good can come out of this horrible
epidemic, We hope it will make for lasting
cleanliness, but it is crime against civili-
zation, and those high in authority are, as
usual, largely TO blame.
HUMBLE HOUSEHOLDER.

New-York tribune., 1916-07-13
Breaking the Blockade.

More significant than all the rejoicing
is the intimation from Berlin of re-
newal of the popular clamor for unre-
stricted use of the submarine. 1t comes IN
the form of threat that unless Presi-
dent Wilson undertakes to modify the pro-
cedure used by Germany's enemies in cut
ting off German supplies the present
Chancellor will be thrown out of office and
Tirpitz's plan of ruthless warfare on COM
merce will forthwith be adopted.
Beside this threat all the vague specu-
lations about the bearing of submarine
merchantmen on the legality of the block
ade are unimportant. Not that specula-
tions of this kind were ever taken very
seriously by responsible people in Ger
many. In Berlin even the most enthusi-
astic must smile at the simplicity Of that
amiable enthusiast, Mr.. Ridder, when he
assures his readers that "the Deutschland
has consummated Britains downfall as
mistress of the sea-" Needless to say, IL
would take a large fleet of Deutschlands
seriously to affect Britain's position. The
use Of such vessels is the most signal
tribute yet paid to the effectiveness of the
work done by the blockading fleets. There
was probably never any reason since the
war began why submarines should not
have been used to carry merchandise L
it had been thought worth while to use
them; if, therefore, after two years they
have actually been turned to account, we
may readily surmise how desperate the
state of affairs in Germany must be.
1t may be doubted whether there ever
was a blockade under which the victims
were so utterly helpless as the Germans
are to-day. The wild excitement of the
populace over the exploit of single sue
cessful blockade runner is g pathetic DEM
onstration of their plight. Hardly less
pathetic is the bewilderment of the Ger
man editors who are so anxiously asking
whether this feat does not "raise another
question as to the legality of the blockade" p"
1t is to be feared there is not much hope
for them there. In our Civil War Hobert
Pacha made six successful voyages to Will
mington and in ten months the E. r. Lee
ran the blockade successfully no less than
twenty-one times. Yet even then no one
talked about the downfall of the Federal
navy, and though the blockading squadron
did not pretend that it could stop more
than third of the attempts to run the
blockade, it was nevertheless held to be an
effective blockade.
A great deal of noise is made by Ger
mans in this country at every little sue
cess achieved by daring officers Of the Ger
man navy. Mr.. Ridder is still talking OF
the capture Of the Appam as if it had dis
posed of the pretences of Britain and its
Allies. He forgets that in l76l-that was
after Quiberon-the French took not one
or two prizes from the English, but more
than eight hundred, or almost one tenth Of
the country's shipping. In the light Of
such examples is it reasonable TO think
that such trivial feats as the Germans can
boast of in this way have the very slight
est bearing on the naval situation?
The plainest proof that they have not il

COUNTY REGISTRATION
 COMING IN RAPIDLY
One Third Probable Voters Up to Date. Registration
 Figures of This District.

TOMBSTONE, May 22-(SpeciaD-
 County Recorder Owen E. Murphey
 estimates that the registration for
 Cochise county will exceed 15.000 names. In 1914 the total registration was 12,S11.
 Under the law the time allowed for this accomplishment is about five months. A little further figuring will produce the further facts that an average of 5000 names in duplicate for each of these five months must be obtained by the county recorder, who is entrusted with this important func- tion under the law, in order to get all these names in the office. A glance at the task ahead when the name is presented for registration will dumb round most people. For each registra- ton blank issued, the description of the voter must be obtained and the affidavit as to the truth of the state ments thereon taken. One Of these blanks is given to the voter and one sent to the recorders office. What has gone before the reception of the blank at the recorders office is no- thing compared to what has to be done afterwards. Two registers must be made up, each Containing a copy of the signature of the voter. One of these names is pasted into the great register of the county and the other into the precinct register But this

Thirty thousand names to be pasted and fifteen thousand descriptions. etc, tS be copied twice. The object of all this is to protect the ballot and the system of voting. The blanks. are not destroyed, but are kept numbered and filed and stored away in the vault of the recorder's office as a part of the records.
 When the registration closes on 1, the precinct registers are made up and sent out to the various precincts ro be used for the primary election on September 18th. They are then returned and the re- gistration is again opened and the books kept up to date with the names etc., of the voters who register after hat time until October 14th when the looks are finally closed for this year. The books are then prepared for the general election on November 7th.
 A force of extra help is always em- 1loyed during the registration period md a force of three extra deputies Ire now at work on the books.
 Up to the present time there has ,een a total of 5617 registered. This includes the registrations received up 0 this morning.

He was secretary under Consul Lelevier when he was station ed at Naco and when the latter was Transferred to Douglas, Cadena was given his place. He stands well not only with the Mexican officials, but is we'll liked oy the Americans at Naco and those who have business dealings with him. He is always courteous and is willing to put him. self out to try and favor all who have business with him.

 Those were busy days in New York harbor. Every now and then the New Workers riding on ferry-boats would pass huge ocean greyhound decorated with flags of some foreign country and crowded with men-men only.
 And as the great liner churned :sIy sI0wiy out to sea, up would ring a cry.
