WHAT SUBMARINES ARE FOR.

Germany explains that her Uboat campaign is due to the that Great Britain is trying to starve the Ger nation.
 The British blockade which is meant to starve the British feet Why, then, the German submarines not sent against blockading warships instead of against noncombatant merchantmen that connected with the controversy only in distant and indirect way?
 There is indeensibe weakness of the German posi-
 on It like familiar plan of the neighborhood bully who when put rout by lad of equal superior strength proceeds to lie in and thrash that lad little brother
 For the German nation in its privation there is sym pathy wherever there and women with hearts in their bosoms. But the German policy which shuns fair and honest warships and tries to bring the enemy to by making noncombat- ants there can be nothing but contempt.
 At least, let Germany make one courageous effort to crush the British power that is throtng her Let the German navy stop being "too proud to fight. Let the German warshps come their hiding place and give battle Let the German submarines be turned against the allied battle against innocent vessels of commerce.
 if that effort failed, Germany would not he justi present policy of ruhlessness but the policy would then be viewed little more charitable

BLOCKING TRANSPORTATION.

The familiar transportation peril has appeared again lately in a form. It has developed that Chicago switchmen have it in their to tie the freight traffic of eighteen important railroads And since Chi holds the key much of the country's shipping, that comparatively small group of switchmen in single city could precipate food famine and produce traffic congestion of every throughout the country local strike might be nearly serious national railroad strike.
 It is absurd that few should thus possess so huge for public inconvenience and disaster. The chaotic system which permits that cannot be permitted continue much longer. Some way be found for the adequate protection of the majority of citizens which constitute the public against the inconsiderate of small uinores, whether those mnorities repre-, sent capital labor. There safer and better ways than strikes to settle labor disputes.
 IL is to be hoped that congress will muster courage deal properly with this problem Of safeguarding public transportation rights, instead of lodging it.

THE FINEST ARMY"

An anonymous military attache at Washington who has the British and German armies in action is credited with the remark that General Pershngs peditionary force marched northward the day, was fighting machine in the world"
 There is army of it's size. he said ito compare this little army of Americans. They trained and equipped to perfection even a buckle a mules harness lacking with is the spirit of the American soldier What it is cannot but it is there In the swing of their bodies and the set shoulders could it"
 We have always regarded own soldiers as un- equalled spirit fighting quality. as surprise to told army in admirable shape this It is reported that the long stay in Mexico has been used to good purpose. "Wge the column remained inactive stretched across the Mexican desert. it busy experimenting and perectng itself The lessons of the Europe taken heart The equipment in every branch of the service changed conform the advance in military science

" AR SUhMA ARy

The British troops fighting in France continue their peckiEg at the German lines at various points and according to the latest British off cial communication they have met with additional success. The greatest gain was east of Souchez, north of Ar ras, where an advance of several hun dred yards placed them in German positions which were badly damaged by the invaders. who in addition kill ed a number of Germans and took AZ prisoners. Similar raids were made near Nieuville-St. VauX, Loos and Ypres. In the Ancre region near Serre and Pys the Germans were un- successful in attacks on the newly captured positions of the British. On the remainder of the front there have been bombardments
 With the return of better weather conditions, the activities of the ar mics on the Macedonian front have increased. The fighting. however. is being done mainly by surprise detach ments and the artillery wings of the belligerents. In the Cerna bend re- zion Berlin reports the capture by the Teutonic allies of hill position east of Paralovo and several camps behind that front, while Paris records the re- pulse by the Italians of several sur prise attacks made by the Germans between the Cerna and Lake Presba.
 In this region the bombardment has grown particularly violent. In the Irant theatre the British have contin- ued their drive against the Turks un- til they now have the town of kut-el- Amara completely hemmed in. The Turkish war office admits the gain of ground on the Turkish left wing in this region but says the success ob- tained was insignificant in compari- son with the losses sustained.
 While the invaders still remain vir- tually inactive along the southern front of the Rumanian theatre, their army on the west Moldavia front has dSdlH UctH optidtiH7 anu h"H 'iF'"i ed a strong point of support from the Rumanians south of the Vale Puma road.

ADMITS VIOLATION
 0F BELGIUM NOT
 MILITARY NEED
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

COPENHAGEN, Aug 11.-Lieuten- ant General Baron von Freytag- -Loring- hoven. chief of the supplementary gen. eral staff of the German army, in an article printed in a German newspaper admits the falsity of the German pre- tension that the violation of Belgian neutrality in the campaign of August 1914, was due to military and defen- sive necessity provoked by alleged prep aration of the French to invade Ger many through Belgium. General von Freytag -Loringhoven writes that, on the contrary, the French originally started to concentrate their armies along their own eastern frontier, and made a belated change in their plans only after the German offensive was set in motion through Belgium, and the Germans profited greatly from the re- sulting confusion and delay.
 Stories of French troops marching through Belgium during the first days of the war and of airplane and automo- bile attacks from Belgian territory, and other fairy talk which figures so large ly in German justification of the in- vasion of Belgium, are not mentioned.
 The articles describes the disastrous effect of the sweep of that unexpected German flood upon successive French armies. and the advance to the Marne. General von Freytag -Loringhoven de- clares that the Germans retreated from the Marne because they were too weak (Continued on Page TwO)

 Going to Los Angeles

he had nothing to do with any suits which might be filed against Arizona mining corporations as a result of the deportations, saying he was mot cap italizing his friendship for labor''
 Cleary said the food. control law would not reduce prices and that Hoover was over advertised. He said if the government would take over the control of the mines and fix prices where they were a year ago the miners would return to work at the old scale of wages. He said the men were get ting less for their wages when they struck than they were before the war, when prices of food were considered, and declared the strike was called in spite of the war "because such a time was the only time to strike"
 Cleary's departure is expected to cause a scattering of the men at the Columbus camp, as he has been the one who has kept them together since the deportatiOns.
 Attorney Fred H. Moore, who is at the Columbus camp, was reported to- night to have employed several stem ographerS to take the depositions of the men in camp This was believed to be preliminary to filing damage suits against the mining companies.

T do not know where such a statement originated but 1 am sure that I did not make any declara- tions of that kind.

 IN THE WARREN DISTRICT
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BISBEE, Aug. 11.-"Anarchy does not rule in the Warren district as 1 have been erroneously reported as say ing, and I desire to so state in justice to the people of the district" said Wiley k. Jones, attorney general for the state of Arizona, who is conducting an in- vestigation of the strike and it's sub sequent conditions. Jones had been quoted as making the statement that Anarchy did rule in the camp" Jones addressed a special meeting of the Warren District Trades Assembly last evening, and the report of his alleged statements, which he denied tonight, leaked out.
 The attorney general was quoted as saying that it was evident that the Citizens Protective League was using the movement against the I. w. w as a foil to put every union organization af- filiated with the Arizona Federation of Labor out of business in the district
 Jones, when asked as to the authen- ticity of the report, said:
 T have never heard it suggested that the Citizens Protective League was en- deavoring at this time to put any union organization out of the Warren district"
 When asked whether he knew the six committeeman appointed by the Arizona Federation Of Labor who were refused admission to the district and whether he had said that they were good union men, Jones declared:
 T am only acquainted with Bert Davis, one of the six committeeman for the Arizona Federation of Labor, and do not think they are members of the I. W. w., but I have no knowledge on the subject l advised that this committee ac raDracartatiyac of ba Arizona Federation of Labor, be courteously admitted to the Warren district"
 Jones was also reported as having said that he acquiesced in the depor- tation from Bisbee on July 12. This he also denied, saying
 Tt is unnecessary for me to state that l did not acquiesce in the deporta- tion of the 12th of July, as my re- peated protestations are too well known
 When asked whether he said he would endeavor to restore a republi- can form of government in the Warren district by bringing in troops, Jones i answered.:
 T made no such statement As to
 whether troops will be brought into
 the Warren district the matter is not
 in my hands. Governor Campbell is in 1 the city making an investigation for 1 his own information
 Jones was loath to enter into any | controversy over his reported state
 ments before the trades assembly. but i consented to make his first public | statement to representative of the Associated Press.
 i Governor Campbell and the attorney
 general were in conference for two
 hours this afternoon with. Sheriff Harry Wheeler Neither would make ! any statement regarding the proceed
 ings of the meeting. It is known that l Campbell will make statement on the | Bisbee affair when he receives the at

LONDON. Aug. 1.-The course of Arthur Henderson in advising yester- days conference of the labor party to send a representation to the Stockholm conference has been followed quickly by the tender of his resignation as a mem Der of the war cabinet. which consti- tutes the inner council of the govern ment and the prompt acceptance of the resignation by the premier.
 Premier Lloyd George wrote MT. Hen dersOn scathing letter of acceptance in which he practically accused MT. Henderson of bad faith and duplicity in his dealings both with his cabinet col leagues and with the Laborites, and gave the letter to the newspapers. The premier thereby created q situation which puts MT. Henderson on the de- fensive and which may cause the labor ties to retract their decision to send delegates to confer with Germans, Rus sians and neutrals at the Swedish cap ital
 MT. Henderson stated in a note to the press that his position would be ex- plained to the house of commons.
 The latter of the premier makes it plain that the cabinet is opposed to the Stockholm meeting and also that the present Russian provisional govern mont is lukewarm if not opposed alto gether The gist of Premier Lloyd G .orge's letter is that Mir. Henderson gave the cabinet the impression that he af~eed with them.
 They expected him to advise the labor party against the conference and were greatly surprised by his change of front They also expected him to read premier Kerenskys message regarding Stock holm but he suppressed it and hy SC doing misled the lahorites into taking 6 course which they thought the Russians desired.
 Important labor societies already art hrrayed against the verdict of the par ty yesterday and it may be reversed b1 a referendum or by general consent or failing such action. it is wholly possible that the government may act witt France in refusing passports to Stock holm.
 The whole incident is mystifying. MT Henderson's reputation has been that O n most straight forward man. one o the last of whom the public would eX poet shiftv diplomacy or double dealin. and an honest misunderstanding on hi port may he the real explanation.
 MT Henderson recently returned iron Russia with the conviction that tn Russians were strong for the Stock holf conference and that the Britisl should meet their wishes. He has talk en part in war cabinet deliberation since his return. being absorbed in tn labor partys business, but he has bee generally regarded as sort of govern mental ambassador to labor and as tn governments spokesman on labor mat terS.
 The Saturday Review says the gov ernment sent MT. Henderson to Petro grad with the intention of making hir ambassador to Russia if it appeare that a laborite would be more accept able to the revolutionary governmer than Ambassador Buchanan, whose pre- Viors position as ambassador to the i'm per'al court might have prejudiced tn revolutionary party against him.
