GRAND JURY CALLS
ON SUPERVISORS
Of CHA To QUIT
Especial to The Republican,

GLOBE Ariz., March 14.-Chairman
Walter Nash and Supervisors Frank
Doran and Patrick Rose must resign
after unseating County Engineer Roy
Thomas, who is charged with dominat-
ing county affairs if the recommended
tons of the grand jury to the superior
court are regarded.
The grand jury report was made to
Superior Judge Shute this afternoon
The report of the grand jury is one of
the most sensational documents ever
written 1t cites the members of the
board of supervisors before the court
of public opinion on charges of neglect
of public affairs and carelessness in the
stewardship that has been ouIrusted
to them. 1t demands that they quit
office in order to make room or men
better qualified for their work and ad-
vocates the use of the recall in the
event they fail to resign.
The VolumninouS document of AZ
pages was devoted to a terrific ar
raignment of the board of supervisors
and the county engineer, under whose
administration a road bond issue in eX-
cess of $500, 900 was wasted. A reso-
luton accompanies the report censur-
ing the supervisors in the most scath-
ing terms, demanding their reSigna-
lions and that of County Engineer Roy
Thomas.

way The chief difficulty is In obtain
ing engines for all types of navy craft,
including the new coast patrol boats
soon to be ordered in considerable
numbers. A plan for the coordination
of the engine building capacity of the
country may be necessary.
The department has sought informa-
ton from the Electric Boat and Lake
Torpedo Boat companies, the two con-
Germs building navy submarines, as to
the number of boats each could com
plete within six months. Replies have
not yet been received Congress pro-
vided that the SO new boats should be
of the 500 ton type, and the depart
ment's present specifications call for
increased speed and other changes from
the three boats of the same size already
ordered. In the interests of speedy
construction however, the new plans
be abandoned and last years boats
be duplicated.
Plans for the three $4,000 ton battle
ships are not yet ready for distribution
to builders 1t is indicated that atten-
ton is to be turned to other parts of
the building program for the present as
the battleships, in any event, will re-
quire a long time to construct
More than Is destroyers probably
will he ordered at once. Congress pro-
vided specifically for this number, but
granted additional authority under its
emergency appropriation clause for the
construction of small craft.

state of things cannot exist long be-
cause the neutrals themselves must OBJ
tain certain necessaries in order to
avoid the intense economic situation
which at present obtains in Germany.
This fact is necessarily better known to
the neutrals themselves than to those
not Immediately concerned.
las regards the general situation of
the submarine warfare, it may thus be
summed up: 1t is having a more seri-
Gus effect upon European neutrals than
upon belligerent mercantile marine.
The continual losses of ships will seri-
ously affect post bellum trade. The
losses of British mercantile vessels in
the first six weeks represent a per-
centage of 2.3, while the average daily
movement of vessels in united kingdom
ports is 710 This figure excerpts fish
ing and local craft.
If the same rate of destruction were
the consumption of ncutrals and are
to continue at this average, it would
take at least year to reduce the
British mercantile marine by one half,
without taking into consideration ad
dltlonal tonnage procured from build
ing or purchase"

1T is the custom of the German
authorities to issue official criticisms
of measures adopted by the allies as
regards the control of foodstuffs and
restrictions on imports, and these
criticisms are produced entirely for
in Germany today. The passage OF

Situation Unchanged

WASHINGTON. March 14.-In the
absence of official dispatches on the
destruction of the steamer Algonquin,
officials withheld comment but the un-
! official view was that nothing in the
Incident changes the situation between
the United States and Germany.
President Wilson already has taken
steps to place the nation in state of
armed neutrality, which. with the
breaking of diplomatic relations with
Germany is virtually the last measure
possible short of war. American ships
now are being armed to defend them
selves against unlawful submarine at
tack. The general view today is that
arming of ships is the only answer to
submarine operations short of a dec
iaration of war, which may be made
only by congress.
The circumstances that the Algon-
quin carried foodstuffs which are con-
traband and that she recently was
transferred from British to American
registry, transaction Germany might
plead she would not recognize, are not
taken to outweigh the fact that the
ship was reported destroyed without
| warning. Neither does the fact that
apparently no lives were lost mitigate
the situation.
But the real fact. as unofficially eX-
pressed, is that while the destruction
of an American ship in such a manner
is very serious, the American govern
ment already has taken all the steps it
| can take to meet such a case, unless
it wishes to take the last step and
declare war.
The real issue of peace or war is ex-
pected to come when an American
armed ship has a clash with a German
submarine.
A series of distinctions of American
ships probably would arouse congress
to q declaration of war, if indeed Ger
many should not declare war on the
United States as many expect, as a
result of the first encounter with one
of her submarines
Up to the present, in the absence of
action by congress, all that could be
done to meet such a case as the de-
struction of the Algonquin already has
} been done. 1t is generally accepted on
first reports as not being the covert
act"

London told of the apparent safety of
all the officers and crew, twenty seven
of whom have been landed.
The message said the vessel was
torpedoed but did not indicate where
she was at the time. According to a
consular report from Plymouth, Eng
| land, the Algonquin's captain stated
his ship was sunk by shell fire without
warning.
The Algonquin sailed from New York
on February 20 with foodstuffs. Her
destination was London. She was one
of the first American ships to leave
the United States after Germany es-
tablished her submarine blockade.
Formerly Canadian owned boat
under British registry, the Algonquin
was transferred to the American flag
last December, when she was pur-
chased by the American Star line.
While under Canadian ownership she
was engaged in trade between New
York and st. John, N. B.
Officers of the American Star line
said the vessel was worth approxi-
mately s450000 and that the cargo con-
sisted mostly of foodstuffs was worth
more than 100000.
There were ten Americans including
the captain on the Algonquin, the
owners announced today.
Prior to sailing the Algonquin's cap
tain said he had no fear that his YES
sci would be torpedoed.
Il feel safer in sailing through the
war zone on vessel flying the Amer
lean flag than | do trying to make my
way about New York streets and
lodging taxicabs," he said.
Pictures of the Algonquin, showing
the American flag flying at her stern
and painted on either side were taken
| by the German submarine commander
before member of the bombing party
| from the submarine hauled down the
stars and stripes, according to an &C
count given to the Associated Press
by the Algonquin's first officer, Frank
]. Yerney of Seattle, Wash, a natur-
allied American who was born in Bel
GUM. 1t was while the submarine was
circling around the Algonquin several
times that the German commander
took snap shots of the ship at different
angles. Referring to the hauling down
of the flag, Yerney said he did not see
what the Germans did with it.
