Morenci Will Play

The Morenci boys have finally
awakened from their lethargy and
come alive. Capt. Stanley, who was
in Clifton today, announced that the
Morenci team was ready to cross bats
with the local boys and that they
were out for blood, not only in the
initial game but that they would give
US run for our money in every game
played this season. With fire in his
eye Capt. Stanley declared that the
Hill City boys would come to Clifton
on Sunday, June 18th, and proceed to
give Riles Roughnecks the trimming
of their lives. Morenci means bust
ness and has been goaded to despera-
ton by the recent challenges sent out
by Clifton and as a result some
mighty exciting and interesting
games will be pulled off between the
old rivals for Southwestern honors
Everyone who misses the first game
of the series will regret it for the
rest of their lives. Get busy and root
for Rileys Roughnecks.

With the Republican national convention at
hand, no man can say who will be the Republican
nominee or what will be the Republican platform.
The G. O. P. is manifesty up against it. Its
boGses want a man strong enough and platform
good enough TO beat wilson" That is their
only thought To provide a leader fit to guide the
nation through these troTblous times, to announce
policy that will interpret the American thought of
the day-such things do not to them. All
they think about is how to get back into power.

the day was spent with sports in

cided interest. The gathering re-

most enjoyable picnics held by the
Clifton churches in many years.

DEMOCRATIC TARIFF BRINGS GREATEST
TRADE BALANCE GAIN IN U. S. HISTORY
During the 80 months ending March 81 1915.
oeen operation, exports exceeded imports by ST.
936, 49,, 1872.
During the last 80 months of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff ending September 80, 1913 exports exceeded
imports by 81, 4OS,67S,56S.
That is to say the favorable trade balance of the
United States during two and one-half years of the
Democratic tariff act exceeded that of the last
and one-half years OF the Republican tariff by
$685. 400.
The percentage CT increase under Democratic
administration and laws equals 100 per cent.
This is the greatest percentage of increase and
the greatest both gain and in total in the
history of the worlds commerce.
Our international trade balance is still piling
up at the rate of over $150OOOOO0 monthly, or
$1,SO0,00O,OO0 per annum.
Do the business nen-famers, workingmen,
bankers, miners, manufacturers and merchants of
this country want this good work to go unds-
turbed?
Or, do they want to see it halted by that great
destroyer of commercial peace and prosperity
campaign of tariff agitation. such Republican
managers now threaten?
If you prefer an up6isturbed of this business
prosperity you will continue the present
Democratic laws and administration.

GREECE is NEAR
ENTRY into WAR
Resignation of Cabinet Seen as Sign
That Athenians VIII Go Over
to the Allies.

Athens, Sept. II, (via London, Sept.
10, $50 a. m, delayed. king Con-
stantine has accepted the resignation
of Premier Zaimis and his cabinet.
The belief is entertained in the en-
tente capitals that the retirement of
the Zaimis ministry is preliminary TO
the entrance of Greece in the war with
the entente allies. Recent dispatches
from Berlin and Vienna show that
there also it is regarded as certain
Greece will soon abandon neutrality.
The precise causes which led to the
resignation of the ministry have not
been disclosed, on account of the ex-
ceptionally rigid censorship. A Lon
don dispatch yesterday said NJ Zaimis
had complained that internal Incl
dents were preventing him from deal
ing with the external situation. 1t is
believed in London that his resigna-
ton was due to the fact that he ac-
copied the premiership on the under
standing that he was TO maintain neu-
trality, and in view of the Bulgarian
occupation of Greek territory had
found this impossible.
Up to the time of the first dispatch
announcing that M. Zaimis had pre-
sented his resignation his retirement
was unexpected, for it was understood
the premier had assumed dictatoriaI
powers and was in an exceptionally
strong position.
Political affairs reached a crisis
after the Bulgarians invaded north
eastern Greece and followers of for
mer Premier Venizelos served warn
ing on King Constantine that he must
abandon the advisers who, il was said,
had misled him and influenced him in
favor of Germany. At the same time
NJ. Venizelos expressed confidence in
NJ. Zaimis, whom he asked the king to
support, and it was understood an
agreement had been reached under
which the Zaimis ministry was to con-
tinue in power with the strong support
of the Venizelos party.
After the fall of the Venizelos cabi-
net last October, on account of the
kings disagreement with its policy
favoring Intervention in the war with
the allies, NJ. Zaimis was called on TO
form a cabinet. He announced a pol
icy of armed neutrality The cabinet
resigned in November. but in June NJ
Zaimis was again placed at the head OF
the government. Although advocating
neutrality, he was. regarded as having
predisposition toward the entente.

MAJOR -CEn.BLISS
JOINS THEE ENJOYS
Joint Commission Takes Up Questions
Affecting Future Peace On
the Border.

New London, Conn, Sept. 13.-With
the arrival here today of Major Gen
eral Bliss from Washington, Amer
lean members of the joint information
al commission prepared to take up
again the question of devising an ade-
Quate system of policing the Mexican
boundary.
The conferences have taken up,
while awaiting General Bliss, outlines
Of economic and political conditions in
Mexico. In presenting the latter re-
view yesterday, Luis Cabrera, head of
the Mexican commission, drew atten-
ton to the progress the Carranza gov
eminent had made.
In January, 1915, he said, the Car
rama forces controlled only a fringe
of states along the gulf coast and a
few ports on the west. The remainder
of the country was in the hands OF
Villa and Zapata and their followers.
Since General Carranza today faces
only scattered outlaw bands, and
there is nothing approaching organ
lied military opposition to his rule
throughout the country, his represen-
tatives apparently feel justified in
predicting that complete order soon
will be reestablished.
The Mexican members of the COM
MISSION assured their American con-
ferees today that recent DEGREES by
General Carranza fixing the taxation
on mining properties in Mexico were
not intended to be COnfiscatOry in any
sense.
The real purpose of the Carranza
government was two fold, they said,
being both to raise internal revenue
and foster development of Mexican in
dustries on a reasonable scale The
Mexican Representatives stated further
that the scheme adopted was designed
to put into operation properties now
lying dormant, and also to make the

Springfield, III, Sept 13.-When
shown the Associated Press dispatch
that Major General Funston asked his
court martial because of the loss of
United States army horses and mules.
Captain Fred w. Laas, quartermaster
of the Second regiment, in camp here,
said it was the first information he
had received of the requested action.
He denied that any large number of
lhOrses or mules in his custody had been
lost.
Several animals got away from us,
but most of them were returned. l
didn't have so horses or mules in my
care, and am certain we did not lose
but three or four" said Captain Laas.

the dispatch, is not in camp here. 1t is
believed he is either in San Antonio or

General d. Jack Foster, commander of
the First brigade, said he had no
