PreSl0enLS aOQreSS:
Gentlemen of the Congress: A
situation has arisen in the foreign re-
lations Of the country of which it is
my plain duty to inform you very
frankly.
. "It will be recalled that in February.
1916, the Imperial German Government
announced its intention to treat the
waters surrounding Great Britain and
Ireland as embraced within the seat Of
war and to destroy all merchant ships
owned by its enemies that might be
found within any part Of that portion
Of the high seas, and that it warned
all vessels, of neutral as well as Of
belligerent ownership, to keep out Of
the waters it had thus prescribed or
else enter them at their peril
Protest BY Y. S.
1.-THE government of the United
States earnestly protested. 1t took the
position that such policy could not
be pursued without the practical GER
tainty Of gross and palapable viola
tions OF the law of nations, particularly
If submarine craft were to be employ
ed as its instruments, inasmuch as the
rules prescribed by that law, rules
founded upon principles Of humanity
and established for the protection of
the lives of non-combatants at sea,
could not in the nature Of the case be
observed by such vessels. It based its
protest ON the ground that persons of
neutral nationality and vessels of neu-
trail ownership would be exposed to ex-
treme and intolerable risks, and that
no right to close any part Of the high
seas against their use or to expose
them to such risks could lawfully be
asserted by any belligerent govern
meIlts The law OF nations in these
matters, upon which the government
of the United States based it's protest,
is not of recent origin or founded upon
merely arbitrary principles set UP by
convention It is based, ON the con-
trary, upon manifest and imperative
principles Of humanity and has long
been established with the approval and
by the express assent of all civilized
nations.

CASH WILL RUN ON
 INDEPENDENT TICKET
Nomination Petition Filed With Clerk of Board of Supervisors at 4:5o e. Clock This Afternoon.

Both Democratic and Republican circles have been concerned for the past week or more with the rumor that J. G. Cash, who was defeated in the primaries for the democratic nomination for Sheriff, was entertain. ing the idea of running for the office on an independent ticket. The rumor was not definitely verified until this afternoon, the last day for filing pe- titions, when F. A. Thompson, bar. Der of Clifton, filed the petition with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors at 4:50 p. m.
 The petition contains 36 signatures, all being from residents of Clifton and Morenci. The law requires that no elector shall sign petition of this nature who voted for the same officer in the primary election. Following is the list of persons who signed the

to hundreds of mines and prospects which have been incapable of proper owing to the absence Of railroad facilities.
 The coming of the road will mean an unprecedented prosperity for the northern mines and miners, and as we'll as the opening of a great market to the farming and merchants of the Salt River valley.
 Along practically the entire right of way there are possibilities in the way of both agriculture and mining that make the success of the completed line assured Along the Verde there are already many partially developed irri- gation schemes and the furnishing of a means of access to markets will work wonders in the development of the country.
 The directorate of the road includes in addition to James S. Dogulsa, Jas. P. Boyle, E. O. Ellis, H. w. Williams and S. P. Applewhite, the latter of whom is secretary of the Douglas h. vestment company.
 In addition to the line mentioned, it is said that the old Navajo Southern railroad project has been revived and that it is planned to build road from Holbrook south to Pinetop. Such a line will open another vast stretch of valuable territory and will spell pros perity for the farmers, the cattlemen and the miners of the northern coun- try.

HELP BOOST WILSON CAMPAIGN
 FUND
This Paper Authorized by National Committee to Receive Subscrip- tions to Fund

The Copper Era today opens it's columns for the receipt of contribu- tions to Woodrow Wilson's campaign fund.
 Under authorization by the Demo- cratic National Committee, the Cop per Era will undertake to raise fund to assist in meeting the ex- penses of the campaign. Contribu- tions, large and small, will be welcome and will be acknowledged in the col tributor also will receive from Wilber w Marsh, Treasurer of the National Committee, handsome Autographed receipt.
 campaign the Democratic party is dependent entirly upon popular con- tributions
 The party does not expect and will not take money for it's cam paign fund from persons or corpora tions with sinister purposes. It ab- hors the practice of catering to the vested interests, and seeks its support from the multitude.
 Four years ago S9,S54 individual contributions were received. The managers of MT. Wilson's campaign want to raise that figure to more than 100000 this year.
 It was the money of the people that paid the expenses of electing Mr. Will son in 1912. It is the people who have been served during the three years and half of his administra- tion.
 It is your battle. Peace, prosperity, justice and honor! These are the blessings that Woodrow Wilson has won for you; these are the blessings that are at stake.
