lnterned German Steamers
Try to Escape From Shanghal

, Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
Toxic, March 10.--A Shanghai tele-
gram received in official quarters says
that the captains of two German
steamers, interned in the port Of
Shanghai where they took refuge
soon after the outbreak Of the war,
attempted to get their vessels away
late at night after China had sent its
protest to Germany on the un-
restricted submarine warfare. The
two steamers were sighted steaming
at top speed toward the entrance Of
the port under cover Of darkness
through the merchantmen moored in
the harbor.
A japanese warship cruising near
the mouth Of the port espied the
mysterious ships and gave chase,
Aware of detection. the German ships
turned and returned to their mooring.
The entente warships are maintaining
vigilant watch lest they should make
another attempt.
Japanese authorities allege that the
intention was to sink the steamers at
the entrance OF the river\ to block
trade with Shanghai.

Peake of North Dakota, for several gears adjutant general of the national guard of that commonwealth. and prior to that time, colonel of the First North Da- Kota Infantry, arrived in Phoenix yesterday direct from Washington, D- C., where he was one of the lead CTS for general military service.

Alleging that he was at all times ready to carry out his part of the con- tract and that the board of trustees discharged him without the sanUtiV.4 of a competent judge and without fif- teen days notice, Frank o. Hermance yesterday brought suit against Public School District No. for salary he alleges due him in the sum of S457.6O
 In the complaint filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court yes terday by his attorney, NJ. T. Phelps.

 The pet stock and fancy poultry de- partment, under the supervision of H. L. Fletcher, will be greatly enlarged, and many interesting features are promised.
 A first class seed house is a valuable asset to any farming community. but particularly so to this valley, owing to the many planting seasons during the year. The information dispensed by the scotsman is invaluable to the anna = teur, and in many cases of great as- sistance to the experienced planter
 Tn the present crisis says McNabb, the seed situation is serious. Having depended on Europe for many of our vegetable seeds. and no longer being able to obtain them there. it is imper ative that we grow our own stock, and we are now arranging details and seek ing suitable land for this purpose.
