DEMAND OF ANNIVERSARIES
PRODUCES SURPRISING EFFECT

In tho face OF such war aims, the
demand for restitution reparation and
guarantees in the mouth of our ad-
verSaries produces surprising effect
our advcrsaricS call tho proposal OF
the four allied lTcutonicl powers a
war mancuvcr. Germany and her allies
must protest in the most energetic
fashion against such 4 chara acte RIA ton
OF their motives, which were frankly
expressed. They were persuaded that
a peace which was just and acceptable
10 all the belligcrcnts was possible :
that IL could he brought about by an
immediate. spoken exchange Of views
and that. therefore. the responsibility
for further bloodshcd could not be
taken.
Their readiness was affirmed with
out reservation TO make known their
peace conditions when negotiations

doubt AS to their sincerity.
our adverSaries. who had it in their
hands TO examine the proposition as
TO its contents, neither attempted an
examination nor made counterpro-
posals. Instead. they declared that
peace was Impossible so long AS tho
re-establishmcnt OF violated rights
and liberties. the recognition of the
principle of nationalitics and tho free
existence Of small states were not
guaranteed.
THE sincerity which our adversary
denies to the proposals Of the four
allied powers will not be conceded by
the world to these demands il the

GREAT OFFENSIVE BEGUN BY TEUTONS
 AGAINST RUSSIANS
IReputIican A. p. Leased Wire1

Having brought up heavy reinforce ments all along the line, the Germans and Austro- -Hungarians in eastern Gal icia have started what apparently is tremendous offensive against the Rus sians. From -BrOdy, near the north western border of Galicia, sOuthward to below Kalusz the operations are in full swing, but particulars of the battles are not available.
 The latest German official cOmmuni cation announces that the Germans have defeated the Russians over d wide front near Zlochoff. which lies on the Tarnopol- Lemberg railway line about forty miles distant from the capital
 To the north, in Volhynia and still further north on various sectors to the Baltic Sea, especially around Smorgon and Dvinsk, heavy artillery duels are being fought. Near Lutsk the Germans report the capture of many Russian prisoners.
 Apparently the Germans are intent on breaking the French line ill the re- zion between SOiSSOnS and Rheims having delivered another tremendous assault from northeast of Craonne to the east of HurtebiSe. Into the fray were thrown picked troops, who were mown down everywhere and the at tack, like others that had preceded it., failed Near St. Quentin the Germans delivered attacks on a front of about half a mile. Here they succeeded in penetrating French first ilne positions,
 only to be expelled by q counter at tack.
 There has been no diminution in the artillery duels between the British and Germans in northern Belgium. nor in the attacks the British have been mak- ing against German trenches. Around Monchy le PreuX, these infantry at tacks have resulted in the British re- ! gaining all the ground they lost to the l Germans east of Arras July Il. British forces operating against the | Turks have made q twelve mile ad vance up the Euphrates, while in the | Caucasus regions, the Russians have ] carried out successful raids against the 1 Ottomans.
 | The latest reports from Petrograd in- l dicate that the disturbances of the last 1 few days have been quelled and that
 the situation now is well in hand. The ] streets of the capital are being pa
 trolled by Cossacks and other mounted troops. One report is to the effect that 1 there has been a discussion in an ex- | traordinary cabinet council of a pro- | posal to transfer the seat of the pro- | Visional government to Moscow.

 BISBEE, July 19.-If there are any disturbances or threats made against company property at Morenci, the Phelps Dodge corporation which owns the mine there will close them down and leave them closed during the period of the war it was reported here tonight by a high official of the Phelps Dodge corporation.
 Morenci is d low grade ore camp where the cost of the production of copper is always near the value of the copper produced and the company has practically decided to discontinue oper- ations there if the strike is continued much longer
 This action would probably be fol- lowed by the permanent shutdown of the Clifton mines which are owned by English and Scotch capitalists who are compelled to pay extraordinary war taxes to the British government and were said to have been making little net profit before the strike.
 Twenty six American miners ar rived here on a late train tonight seek ing work. They are coming it at the rate of 100 a day Only American citizens are being hired.
 WO DO&tS Ol SldHl pOWutT caps anu 100 high power rifle cartridges were found late today in a rooming house in Upper Lowell by deputy sheriffs and were seized and brought to Sheriff Wheeler's office in the dispensary. The boarding house was a meeting place for l. w. w. members and the sheriff's department believed these munitions were there for the use of ha No made as all the 1. w. w. members who roomed at the place have been either deported or have left the camp.
 Tonight, one week after the round up of July 12 and the wholesale depor. tations to New Mexico, Bisbee is as quiet as Tombstone, the peaceful little camp up Tombstone Canyon. More than 75 per cent of the normal force of the Bisbee mines are now at work, business has been resumed throughout the Warren district and, aside from the armed deputies on all roads and trails entering this camp and the in- vestigation committee at work in the dispensary building, Bisbee has re- sumed its normal pursuits.
 Although no federal or state inves- tigation has yet been started as a re- suit of the wholesale roundup last week. one of the biggest operators in the district declared tonight the con- panies would welcome such an inves- tigation in order to have the case pre- scented to the president fairly and the real situation here made known gen. orally. We want no investigation by any labor politician or other biased person" this operator said, but we will be glad to cooperate in every way in a legitimate investigation fairly | made he added A movement tC l make the Bisbee plan of having al Iall-American mining camp extended to all of the mining camps of the state Continued on Page Two)

MED|ATORS ADMIT

 LEADV|LLE STRIKE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

DENVER, July 19.-Federal media tors who have been trying to avert strike of miners in the Leadville dis trict tonight telegraphed President Wilson saying they felt they were pow erless to prevent the strike.
 It now seems that fourteen hundred men employed in the mines and smel- ters will go on strike Saturday morn ing.
 Within ten days the Leadville smel- ter will be compelled to lay off it's 1000 employees, and within two weeks $500 mine, mill and shelter men will be idle because of the strike of the min CTS, according to a statement made by Charles H. Mover. president of the In ternational Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers tonight.
 At the office of Governor Gunter to- night, it was stated preparations to maintain order in the mining camp if necessary are being withheld pending action concerning the federal mediators Werner z. Reed and former Chief Jus tice George w. Musser. Governor Gun ter takes the position that the federal government has taken jurisdiction by appointing mediators and that no state action could be taken until the federal mediators are discharged.
 The message sent by the mediators to the president follows
 Continuous sessions and work have made daily reports impossible. - A brief resume of our work is that upon our appointment we got into immediate communication with the representa- tives of the Leadvllle mine owners as- sociation an dalso with the organized

 Although the state does not want yout to consider evidence in the case and wants you to hang Mrs. Mooney because of the claim that she was an anarchistic conspirator, you are bound to consider the evidence said McNutt. Where there are reasonable doubts of guilt you must acquit. A multitude Of reasonable doubts confront you"
 McNutt took up evidence in detail while Mrs Mooney intently studied the faces of the jurors. He declared that the state had proved no motive for the crime; that the testimony of the alibi witnesses for Mrs. Mooney had not been impeached and that the case against her had been built up by Mar tin Swanson, a detective employed by the district attorney.
 McNutt declared the state had proved the defendants alibi by one of it's witnesses, John Lawlor, who said he saw Mrs. Mooney on the roof of a building on which she resided at 1:50 | p. m.

BE[GIAN MISSION ! CHEERED ON WAY
 THROUGH COLORADO
[Repuhiican A. p. Leased Wire]


 PUEBLO. Colo, July 19.-The Bel gian war mission was cheered through Colorado today It was almost the busiest day since the mission started it's tour of the country July 1. Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo were vis- fted and each welcomed the guests with characteristic western hospitality.
 Large crowds assembled on the streets in Denver in the morning and we'll wishers when the Belgians left there at noon. Colorado Springs had been disappointed because the sched- ule only called for a short visit there, but in the hour and half allotted to that city, the visitors moved at top speed. Baron Moncheur addressed a large audience from the steps of a public building and the mission was taken for a drive visiting one of the nearby canons and finally stopping for a minute at the home of Spencer Pen rose.
 At Pueblo the party was driven through the plant of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. which suspended work during the visit. The Belgians were greeted by deafening welcome from hundred steam whistles which blew continuously while they were at the plant of the fuel company In the evening they had dinner in park where there was speaking.
 Tonight the mission left for Topeka Kansas.

ENTIRE DAY TAKEN
 UP NDRAW|NC TEN
 THOUSAND NUMBERS
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Plans for the drawing which will be held tomor- row to fix the order of military lia- bility for nearly l0,000,00O registered men throughout the country were ma teriany changed late today and the intricate method of double drawing worked out by officials to lessen the physical task was abandoned.
 Instead of a process requiring not more than an hour and involving one set of numbers from one to ten thou sand and another from nothing to ID, it will be necessary to draw one at time at least 10, 263 numbers. Probably to make certain that every registrant in the largest district is placed, l0,5OO drawings will be made. It will require at least ten and half hours, and off, cials in charge believe it will take twelve The process will begin at 9:30 a. m.
 Following is Provost Marshal General Crowders explanation of the sudden abandonment of the double drawing plan which it had taken weeks to work out in detail and which was made public only a few hours before it was discarded:
 ''Advices received by long distance telephone this afternoon indicate that in certain areas the boards, in number ing registration cards have kept the cards segregated by election districts and that serial numbers have been as signed to the whole group for board while the cards were thus segregated. If the drawing is conducted as origin ally planned, in groups of 1000, the result will be that considerable propor- tions of certain election districts will be brought up for examination to- gether
 This will result in drafting persons from one locality within the jurisdiction before a board before any person is drawn from another locality within the same jurisdiction.
 For this reason it has been decided 10 abandon the drawing by thousands and to draw 10,5 800 numbers, which is in excess of the highest number of cards under the Jurisdiction of any board.
 "The only change in the plan is that there will be one drawing instead of two.
 "The advantage will be greater sim plicity The disadvantage will be that the draWing will require ten hours to complete"
 The stage setting for the great lot tery has not been changed. It will take place in the public hearing room of the senate office building. The invited guests who will sit with Secretary Baker of the war department and watch the proceedings will be members of the senate and house military com mittees. The only other persons pres ent, according to plans tonight, will be q limited number of newspaper corre- spondents, photographers to take both still views and motion pictures of the historic event and the officials of Gen eral CrOwder's office who will conduct the drawing.
 The numbers will be publicly an bounced for telegraphing to the news papers over the country as fast as they are drawn. General Crowder at first considered a plan under which they would have been held in confidence fOr publication everywhere Saturday morning, but that suggestion was abandoned late tonight.
 In the drawing itself there will be nine actors. The principals will be g
