n1ent
(By Telegraph)

London, November 80. -
There has been another turn in

The Passport
Proposition

All the week those officials
having any part in making ap
plications for passports have
been very busily engaged il
that work. Before the office Of
the American Consul, in No
gales, Sonora, there have beer
daily long lines of people await.
ing their turns to enter and
have -Nised the registration
cards given them by the muni-
cipal authorities over there
After several days the expedient
was adopted of giving the
waiting individuals numbers
The first day 100 numbers
were given out, the consular
force estimating that they
could handle that number; but
it is reported that only seventy
five were called, and the hours
were long.
At the office OF the Clerk OF
the Superior Court Mrs. Iona
C. Mix, the acting Clerk has
been very busy making ap-
plications to the State Depart
ment at Washington for per-
sons going down the Coast,
giving them certificates that;
such application had been made,
which certificate when vised by
the American Consul in Nogales,
Sonora, serves the temporary
purpose.
With regard to the procedure
for those living in Nogales,
Arizona, desiring only to pass
back and forth between the two
towns, there has been consider
abel misunderstanding. First
the immigration officials issued
registration cards. Then that
practice was discontinued and
it was stated the work would
fall on the Court Clerk. Later
Consul Lawton, in Nogales, So
nora, received from the State
Department had made an ar
rangement with the De-
partment of Labor, under
Department of Labor, under
which issue of registration cards
would be resumed. But it was
a week before the immigration
office received instructions to
do so and forms to be used had
not arrived yesterday.

Strongest Counter
Attack yet.
(By telegraph

London, November 30.-To-
day the Germans launched in
the Cambria sector the strong
est attack yet delivered upon
the west front, forcing a most
powerful drive against the
British lines southwest from
Cambria. The assault, which
was preceded by q particularly
heavy artillery bombardment
was pressed home near Con-
nelieu. The scene of the Ger
man drive was south from the
sector where the British made
their recent drive on Cambria
and near the point where the
British and French armies on
the Somme join together. This
has led to a belief in official
quarters that the Germans are
attempting to separate the two
armies.

nearly completed we feel as If It is
due the outside public to know how
this valley is getting on. There has
been an unusually large acreage o.
grain, principally wheat, sown; then
there is an increase in the potato
planting. The one great draw back
is no water again this year, but
for all of that every resident Of the
valley took the chance and sowed
high priced grain, and will depend on
moisture from above.
