HOW GERMANY MIGHT HAVE
WON

Admiral Lord Beresford, in a let
ter to Col. Robert NJ. Thompson,
president of the Navy League of the
United States, is quoted as telling
how Germany might have won the
war in it's first two months. The tip
to the Won Tirpitz admiralty has
been held back till such a time that
there is no danger of its being of any
value. The period is past when such
program could be executed; but
there is at least decided interest in
learning what so eminent a naval
authority believed and, long in ad-
vance of the clash, believed, to be the
most effective mode of attack on
British sea power.
Lord Beresford takes a page from
the experience of the Russo-JAp-
anese war, and assumes that Ger
many, to accomplish the best re-
suits, should have struck without a
declaration of war. Modern wars
are very commonly inaugurated in
that way. Japan did not declare war
till after she had withdrawn her am
bassador from st. Petersburg and
notified Russia that she should be
free to protect her interests in what
ever fashion might seem most fit
ting. But Japan's program was fitted
together so skillfully that after de-
livery of this ultimatum there was
not time for the Russian naval force
at Port Arthur to be put in posture
ofsiefense, before Togo had delivered
his first blow, which left Japan in
control of the seas; control she
never lost and that was never seri-
ously menaced to the end.
Germany, adopting that procedure,
would have struck first and explained
afterward. She would have treated
British naval power as she treated
Belgium. There was, however, one
determining reason against such a
course. Germany thought and hoped
to the very last hour that Britain
was too pusilanimous to fight. 1t
was not Berlin's desire that England
should be drawn in. Every effort
was made to leave open a way for
Britain to withdraw from her I'M
derstanding with France and Russia.
The German foreign office, utterly
misunderstanding che temper of the
British government and the psychol-
ogy of the British nation, believed
that London would find an excuse to
desert her allies. Instead, Britain
jumped into the fray; and when that
happened, it was too late for the
surprise attack that Lord Beresford
says would have won the war for
Germany.
According to the Beresford STRAIT
egg, Germany ought first to- have
distributed her cruisers and armed
merchantmen throughout the seas
where they could have done the most

mining men are looking forward to
the meeting next fall in this state of

be held the third week in September,
and owing to the unusual number of
points of interest to be seen, the in

the usual time for the meeting. Sew
eral of the larger mines and treating
plants will be visited.
Members of the Arizona section of
the institute include mining men from

Sonora and Chihuahua.
The recent meeting here Of the
Arizona section was of great interest
Two technical sessions were held. The

corpse is perpetual, and that the COM
pany can be compelled to go on burying
paupers at this rate is the contention
of the board of supervisors of Pima

bids of local undertakers to inter at SIS

company it is stated buried over 100
unidentified dead during the past year,
and lost heavily 1t was believed that
a certain percentage of the unknown
dead would be identified by relatives
and friends and that considerable rev.

offset the losses on the others. Only
three bodies, however, were identified
during the year. For burying the
others the firm received just 10 cents

gristle for beef is to deceive yourself.
If the family eats no fat, buy lean
cuts. Pork chops can be had with
practically no fat or bone at all.
These are the loin chops. Rump roast
is all meat and no bone and goes a
long way because there is no waste.
In the matter of clothing costly
economy can be practiced. Two pairs
of two dollar shoes will not last half
as long as one pair of four dollar
ones. Gingham costs more than calico,
but it wears longer and looks better.
1t costs just as much to make a

the only difference is the small saw

balanced by the short wear. A rem

it is costly washing. You can save
money by doing without eating-at

and meat; but that is saving money
to hire a doctor. True economy does
consist in doing without some things
needless luxuries, but not in doing
