Nearly half million Austrians and

among the prisoners hut among the
dead and wounded it is said that a
fairly large percentage are Germans.
The German losses in stopping the
Russian advance on Kovel and in
counter attacks made in solid ranks
were enormous. The booty captured
reaches incalculable figures. 1t is
figured that ESQ guns of various sizes

DRY AMENDMENT IS
COMMENDED BY THE
STATE REPUBLICANS
BY LYLE ABBOTT



PRESCOTT, July 6.-The Repubi-
can party will make strong bid for
the dry support this year. This sup
port has been pledged to the ticket and
in further advocacy of the dry amend
ment the convention passed the follow
ing: I'VE take pleasure in recognizing
beneficial effects of the prohibition
amendment to the constitution of Ari-
zona and commend it and all officers
of the law who have aided and are
still aiding in its strict enforcement"
Fair Field-No Favor
Republican candidates will go into
the primaries this fall to pursue their
fortunes, and there will be a fair field
and no favor shown by the organiza-
tion which was perfected at the first
and only session of the Prescott repub-
lican convention today. The advisabiity
of endorsing a ticket was considered
very seriously, but in the end. the only
argument remaining unshattered was
that by pruning the organization might
get the benefit of otherwise unavail
able publicity for candidates receiving
the FAVOR OF the convention.
a decision not to endorse was reached
in caucus and presented to the conven-
tion in the form Of a resolution, which
/ read: Whereas, the nomination by the
Chicago convention Of Hughes and
| Fairbanks has been received with such
unbounded enthusiasm by the people
| of the nation and state and has i'm
| bued thes people with unbounded con-
| fidence in their election in November,
and has particularly inspired the re-
| publicans of this state with the belief
! that their state ticket will also tri-
umph and has aroused an admirable
spirit of emulation in the nomination
| of candidates for congressional and
state offices, in consequence of which

essity for proposal or recommends

specific recommendations other than

made and further that this convention

publican party at the ensuing pri-
maries."

 Von Igel will accompany MT. Stanchfie1d and if the state depart ment officials wish, will identify any papers. The German embassy, it was said today. takes the position that the papers do not concern Count Won Bernstorff, the am bassador but pertain purely to the office of the military attache. For that reason it is contended the am- bassdor is not called upon to identify them.
 The papers are said to contain startling list of names of persons in this country connected with alleged unneutral activities. It has been pointed out that the identification as official of any of the papers by tho ambassador himself would connect the embassy with the affairs disclos- ed in them.

Washington. April 26.-A state ment defining the attitude of the United States toward armed merchant ships was made public today by the state department by direction of Pres ident Wilson. It originally was pre- pared as a circular note to other pow CTS but it later was decided to issue it as a statement.
 The statement holds to the right of a merchant ship to arm for protec- tion only but declares that merchant men which have used their arma- ,ments for aggressive purposes are not entitled to the same hospitality in neu- tral ports as peaceful armed mer- chantment.

ENTERS PROTESTS
 ON RURAL CHANGES
Postmaster Delaney Opposed to New Plan For Rural Carricrs-Deliy-
 cry May Be Discontinued.

The recent changes of the postoffice department in Washington. D. G., whereby route No. 1 of the rural de- livery in Kensington is to be abolished on May 1 and in it's stead the route is to be placed upon the shoulders of Rural Carrier Charles Peterson of this city, has caused a storm of pro- tests both from the officials in this city and residents in the area to be affect ed by the change in Berlin. Accord ing to the new ruling.
 MT. Peterson will be forced to take care of his present route in this city and then go to the Berlin office, col lect mail there and cover the new dis tance. It means an addition of one and four-tenths miles and sixty addition al stops, which include eight brick yards numbering about 36O persons in this particular.
 Part of Carrier Peterson's route has been taken away from him and will be given to Rural Carrier Clough with an addition of three and five-tenth miles daily. Postmaster Delaney does not cherish the new changes to any extent as it will great ly hamper the service and he has written to the Washington officials protesting against it. Senator Lan- ders has also taken an active interest in the move and has been in consul tation with some of the officials.
 Postmaster Delaney has been try ing for some time to get better facilities for Barnesdale, which is one of the rapidly growing residential sections. but to date no action has been taken in the matter.
 Another matter which the local post office has under consideration is' petitioning for the abolishment of service in Seymour Park on account of the poor conditions of the roads. As it stands today the highways in this part of the city are well nigh i'm passab ble, and despite the many re- quests made by the postal authori- ties to have something done in the matter, no attention has been paid to them by the residents of that section.
