COMPANY B 1ST AR|z.
 IS IN CAMP AT AUD
Arizona's New Mining Town Affords Every Comfort and Convenience

Capt. l.. Ii. Roach, command ing Company B, First Arizona Infantry, writes the following interesting account of the com pany's camp at Ajo, Arizona:
 When we were first ordered to Ajo from our camp at Naco, the order was received with sorrow, as we had been able to arrange very comfortable camp at Naco and had become acquainted and were in a posi- ton to enjoy our camp after the hard work of preparing it. In addition we had heard many statements as to the undesira- bility of Ajo as a camp. It was reported to be the hottest place in the world; to be a place of no conveniences and absolute ly isolated from the world in the middle of a desert. How lever, orders are orders and we prepared to make the best of our assignment.
 When we arrived at Ajo, May IT, we found, to our surprise, a very nice camp, with large mess shed and kitchen already erected and screened; a nice flag pole, for which, by the way we have no flag, our company flag having been worn out by the wind a splendid system of water piped through the camp. Each tent had a floor and a frame. Three tent houses were furnished by the mining com pany for the four officers.
 We immediately began haul ing concentrates from the mill and after some work, now have a nice level company street and a very fair parade ground, on which we intend to lay out a baseball ground and athletic field as soon as the weather becomes a little cooler.
 We have plenty of shower baths. Each man can take a bath as often as he likes. The water comes from deep wells and is piped seven miles. It comes out of the ground at a temperature of 104 degrees, consequently is always warm, giving a very fine bath, espec- ially at night and early morn ing. We have received new tents since reporting here and from the standpoint of camp comfort, the company is in bet ter shape than ever before in it's history: We have a good target range in camp for .22 calibre rifles and a good 600- yard range for the service rife.
 We have many hills and much broken ground around camp which gives us excellent oppor- tunity for practical field exer- cises.
 We have built a store house for our rations and a good ice box. We receive 300 pounds of ice per day, which allows us to keep our meat in fine con- dition and also allows us to have, not ice water, but cool water to drink and ice tea once a day.
 We have a company canteen which sells the boys tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, soda water, toilet soap, tablets, pencils and stamps on credit, when they have spent their pay. This is all handled practically at cost : which makes it not only a con- venience, but a saving to the men on such necessary items.
 We have two wagons and a

London, Jan. 23.-The Daily Chron'

the following:
II have just received reliable news
from Germany that the moment when
all hopes of success for the peace in
trigues must be abandoned and when
naval and military preparations are
complete there will be sudden gen.
eral and widespread return to the
most violent warfare, in which every
shred of restraint will be thrown to
the winds.
"Probably within month frightful-
ness will break out in all it's ferocity
Vast hordes of troops, very largely
consisting of men between the ages
of forty and forty-five, with young men
of the newest classes of recruits, are
now equipped and have been sent
chiefly to western Germany.
"This land onslaught will be waged
simultaneously with utmost destruc-
tiveness at sea, where the submarines,
which official guesses say number
nearly 800, will sink on sight"

One Reason Advanced for VIII
sons Message.
ENJOYS DECLINE TO talk

President and Secretary Of State An.
ticipate Latest Move Will Provoke
an outburst Of Indignation in the
Foreign Press.
Washington, Jan. 23.-Conf1dential
y information that the entente reply to
President Wilson had convinced Ger
4 many that another step by her would
be unwise convinced American off,
" cials that unless the United States
gave q further opening the whole
peace movement would come to an
end.
President Wilson's address to the
senate is taken in official circles as a
possible means of avoiding that result
Fear of "leak" surrounded the
sending Of the address abroad with
8 such secrecy as has seldom been
oqualed in the state department.
Only President Wilson, Secretary
/ Lansing and the men who transmit
a tad 1t are known definitely to have
been aware of it.
Both French and British ambassa.
+ doris denied any knowledge of it's ex.
1stence even after it had been deliv.
cred. Naturally they refused in any
way to discuss it.
While Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, declined to COM
nasnt for publication upon the ad-
dress the German view generally was
that the address will strike respon-
sive chord among the people of Ger
many.
President Wilson and Secretary Ian
sing anticipate the present move will
provoke indignation in the foreign
press, much as was the case with the
presidents original note Of Dec. Is.
Look for Bitter outburst.
They feel that in a statement of
position as full as the presidents
both sides may feel they have been
unjustly attacked and as a result they
hooked for a bitter outburst in the
more violent press.
The greatest confidence is felt here
that the belligerent peoples want
peace and that the chief obstacle to
an early peace is the uncertainty as
70 whether that peace will be per-
manent.
Omcials also expect antagonism in
this country to any abandonment of
tho traditional policy of American iso-
lation.
The strength Of this internal Ameri-
can opposition is said not to be under
estimated by the president.
Opposition in the entente countries
Is expected to center on the PROPOSE
tion that this should be war without
victory
The demand for the freedom of the
seas, while indefinite in actual prac-
tice, is expected to cause resentment
In England.
It will be pointed out that that has
been Garmany's chief rallying cry
since England entered the war.
The central powers are expected to
Ind an indirect criticism in the con-
trast Of their offer of q conference
With their enemies in their reply to
he presidents note with his state
nsnt that "the entente powers have
replied much more definitely" to his {
suggestion.
