THE FUTURE OF CONSTANTI-
 NOPLE

What effect will the British success at Bagdad have upon the final dispo- sition of Constantinople? Will Great Britain and Germany come to an un- derstanding and cooperate in the building of the road, Germany retain ing Constantinople and Great Britain Mesopotamia? Such an arransement. If there were no obstacle in the way of carrying it out, might be d happy solution of the difficulty But would Great Britain be willing to leave Ger many in possession of Constantinopie, that base from which she could easily be able to consolidate her Balkan al- lies and control the Mediterranean? And would Germany be willing to leave the port of her far eastern trade in the hands of Great Britain? Such an arrangement would be simply a truce While each power looked about for allies for the greater lineup.
 But even were some such under standing between Great Britain and Germany possible, and an obvious make shift it would be- what of the agreement which Great Britain has entered into to deliver Constantinople to Russia? This agreement would be a menace to the peace of the world. producing a situation which, instead Of ending militarism in Europe, would necessitate even greater armaments, particularly upon the part of Great Britain. As for the agreement, if fam inc should declare that there should
 be an end of slaughter that would be a verdict from which there would be no appeal. The disposition of Con- stantinOple would then be a matter for the peace conference to pass upon, and

LAST DAY FOR
 ENTERTAINMENT

After today unpaid city water rent als will be delinquent All water serv- ices upon which the rental charges have not been paid will be subject to immediate discontinuance without no- tice. And when such service has been so summarily discontinued, turn on'' fee of $1 will he charged before the patron will again be served.
 There is really nothing new about this procedure. It is really the resump- tion of the practice in vogue here for years ard which was suspended some time ago in the belief that citizens generally paid their water bills promptly and that it was only in ex igent cases that payment was not made on before the tenth of each month.
 Notices were sent out the first of the month by Superintendent V A. Thomp- son which read as follows:
 Water rentals are due and payable on the first of each month. All water services not paid on or before the 10th of the month, will be discontinued without notice.
 No notice of delinquent water rent al will be given before water is shut off.
 Your attention is called to the fact

ATTORNEY GETS
 LITTLE CHANCE

Jose Tom has modern ideas. One of these is to defeat the spirit of the prohibition amendment by drink ing denatured alcohol Another is to safeguard the interests jeopard- ized by his frequent appearance in police court by the employment by the year of an attorney to defend him. On Sunday he allowed his inn bibing proclivites to override his good judgment. And yesterday, just to strike a balance, he overrode tho determination of his retained by the year counsel to fight the case" and shot plea of guilty back at the city magistrate, after listening to the reading of a complaint charging him with being drunk and disorderly, and before the waiting attorney had an opportunity to voce a protest.
 After that there was nothing to it, but to wander back to the bull pen there to reman for the ensuln- five days, with no option of a fine.
 It was probably the first time in the history of Arizona (not the Parish edition) that Attorney Edward B. Goodwin has been a silent defender. Perhaps the suddenness of it all, of a client before the bar of justice. caught him mapping. Perhaps he had a preconceived idea that he would accomplish more by eliminat- ing protests. Perhaps he knew be- forehand that his client had been drunk as charged and that his ap- pearance must of necessity be per functory. Anyhow, he said nothing in behalf of Jose Tom-didn't even discuss the weather.
 Jose Tom had been arrested Sun day evening after he had driven Mrs. Jose Tom from their adobe in an alley between First and Second streets, and had compelled her to take refuge at the Y. w. c. A. A bottle of denatured alcohol was among the effects found at his abid- ing place. It seemed to tell the whole story, although Jose Tom in- sisted that it had served the needs of another Indian who had been his guest He hadn't touched a drop o1 it, he said, though he couldn't eX- plain why his breath smelled like the contents of the bottle

 WASHINGTON, July 9.-A billion bushels increase over last years pro- duction in the principal food crops is the response American farmers have made to President Wilson's midApril appeal, saying that upon them rests the fate of the war and the fate of nations"
 The extent of the farmers response was disclosed today when a produce tion of 6,093 ,000,000 bushels of princi- pal food crops was forecast in the de- partment of agriculture's July crop re- port, it shows this years corn crop will be the largest in history except one, and that four and possibly five other crops will make new high rec ords.
 The corn crop which, with favorable weather may equal the bumper yield of 1912, shows an increase of 541 mil lion over last year, with total of 3.124,0O0,O00 bushels. The acreage is II per cent larger than last year.
 The combined winter and spring wheat crop will be 3S million bushels more than last year, with total of 67S,O0O0O0 bushels.
 Barley with prospects for the third largest crop ever grown, will exceed last years production by 93,000, 900 bushels, with an output of 214,000, 900 bushels.

 But these latter will be equally op- posed to Great Britain's occupation of Mesopotamia and will, believe, insist upon her withdrawal: and to secure this they would probably be willing to cancel their claim to Constantinople.
