from abroad which were aimed to de-
stroy the reputation of my king. These
reports were manufactured by the
enemy.
II protest against insinuations that

that the Montenegrins will not betray

surrender"

 THE HAGUE, (Via London) Jan. 15. The American members of the Ford peace mission, except those associated with the permanent peace board, sailed from Rotterdam today aboard the steamer Rotterdam for New York. A great crowd assembled on the Wharve;- and cheered as the steamer departed. Among those bidding farewell to the visitors were citizens of Norway and Denmark. through which countries the Americans had travelled on their peace mission during the past six weeks.
 About one hundred and fifty persons sailed, while thirty remained at The Hague to promote the peace plans as originally devised. The members of the permanent board will hold daily sessions.
 Germany's blocking of the recent at ,empts of the Scandinavians to return to their homes through Germany is regarded as making certain the selec- tion of Stockholm for future sittinss of the peace board. That would ob- viate the necessity of crossing the war zone.
 Dr. Aked said that Stockholm likely would be selected, but the matter will be referred to MT. Ford.

Man Long Wanted Comes Back to Mako Things Right If In His Power to Do So. Liberated On Bond

Sid Henry. who less than six months ago, was one of the leading real estate men, and one of the trusted and respected men of the community arrived in Phoenix yes terday afternoon. He came not this time alone and unheralded but in the custody of Sheriff Adams, who marched him into a large and cur ious crowd gathered at the court house to have a look al the man, who last August. walked out of his office leaving behind him numerous pieces of property alleged to have more mortgages on them than the law allows
 As announced exclusively in the Republican yesterday morning Henry had made up his mind that it was better to give himself up than wan der over the country a fugitive from justice He wired ahead that he would be in the city yesterday morn ing at eleven o'clock. The train was hours late, and the crowd of curious ones were forced to wait until two o'clock in the afternoon before the train finally pulled in.
 Even then they ware disappointed. as Sheriff Adams had sent Deputy Jim Murphy to Maricopa to meet Henry. and place him under arrest. Murphy arrived there early i'll the morning, and awaited the incoming train. The train was quite late, and il was finally announced that it would come in three sections. One section finally pulled in, and Murphy boarded it and made q thorough search He failed to find his man He sat down and chatted with sev- eral men whom he knew. utterly fail ing to notice q quiet inoffensive eid- srly looking man sitting nearby. As each section of the train pulled in, Murphy went through it, and each time failed to find his man.

 Our enemy would be able to land upon our shores at least q quarter of a million men inside a month, and after that continually bring endorsements at the rate of 250,000 a month, if they should happen to be required. Our little poorly equipped army would not be able to offer resistance enough to make ripple in the line of the enemys advance. Our army would be just about one good days killing"

 There are two ways that are pro- posed for our salvation The way that our army and navy men propose and the way that every American who 1 has made q scientific study of the sub ject of national defense proposes, is adequately to prepare ourselves with t. navy big enough and powerful enough successfully to stand against any other 1 navy in the world and an army big enough and provided with guns and ammunition enough to save the coun- | try from the horror of defeat Adequate preparation made in time

CANAL ID BE OPENED TO LIGHT
 DRAFT VESSELS. SAYS GOETAALS'

the canal is blocked by a landslide. Upon the report of this board Ma DOT General Goethals said that he would base his contemplated state ment.
 It is understood that Qualifications for which appropriations are likely to be made will include forts on the Taboga and Atoke Islands and also at Minefield and on the Pearl Is lands. The construction of modern fertilization on the site of the .an- cient town of San Lorenzo at the mouth of the Chagros river also is understood to be under considera- tiOn.
 According to canal engineers, con- ditiOns at the Gaillard Cut are most encouraging and it is expected that the canal at this point will be opened to smaller vessels within a few weeks.

 INQUIRE INTO
 E-2 ACCIDENT
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. l5. What caused the explosion on the Submarine E-2 at the New York Navy Yard, with a loss of life and serious damage to the vessel, probably will not be known definitely until the special board of naval officers appointed tonight to in- restigate has completed it's inquiry. From first reports, saying that the new Edison storage batteries in the E-2 were being re-charged at the time of the accident, 1t was concluded by navy department officials that hydrogen gas had ienited, but later official informal tion that the batteries were being dis charged upset the theory. A compara tive small quantity of hydrogen gas is generated by storage battery in pro- cess of discharge.
 The following statement issued to- night by the navy department con- tained all that was known here off cially:
 An explosion occurred on the E-a in dry dock this afternoon at 1:15 p. m., apparently under the battery deck, which tore up the battery floor under
 
 age battery was being discharged through q rhsostat at the time at a slow rate.
 50 far only q brief verbal report has been made by Lieutenant Charles Cooke, commander of the E2. A board of investigation. in accordance with navy regulations, has been ap- 1 pointed by the commandant, consisr- { ing of Lieut. Commander Pope Wash 1 ington, senior member Lieut.. l.. NJ. i Stewart, L. S. $. Mccall. Lieut.. G. g) Rush $. Fay, recorder
 The board will meet immediately 10 1 investigate and report"
 The departments experts on sub marine construction said they knew only of two possible causes of the eX- i, plosion, aside from the possible igni- ton of hydrogen gas. While highly 1 improbable, they said, it was possible 1 that there had been an explosion of the oil used to drive the surface en- zines. There never has been an acci- den: of that character, even with boats operated by gasoline, q far more eXplo- sive liquid than the heavy oil used to
 run the E2s engines.
 | The second possibility, they said,
 was that an air flask had exploded Flasks which furnished the motive power oi torpedo carry a pressure of 200 pounds to the square inch while | the flasks used to store air for the boat while submerged carry much less pressure. The fact that the victims ol
 the explosion were badly burned ao- peared to dismiss that possibility. l. also was pointed out thar the explo-
 sion of an air flask probably would Continued on Page Three)
