Wireless for U-Boats

From Berlin come reports that
frantic efforts are being made TO
reach German submarine comman-
ders by wireless to give them new
instructions. On the other hand, the
declaration of General Stein, the
Prussian Minister of War, in the
"Lokal Anzeiger" to-day, hardly
shows any change Of feeling.
"The decision in this war is still
pending" says General Stein. -"Af
ter the scornful rejection of th'
peace proposals of our exalted Kai
ser, battle is our rallying cry, ano
there should, therefore, not be Sc
much talk of peace. Such talk has
soporific effect that causes timid souls
to snatch at the straw of peace pros
poets. There can be no peace with
out a decision of arms. Every one
at the front and at home must pre-
pare for that"

London, Feb. 5.-An announce

IMMIGRATION BILL
WINS OVER VETO
Senate Adopts Measure,
with Literacy Test,
Passed by House
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Feb. 5.-For the first
time in the Wilson Administration,
bill has been passed over the Presl-
Dental veto. The immigration meas
ure. already passed By PSI to 1876 IN
the House, late to-day passed the SEN
ate by vote of So to -. The friends
of the bill had twenty-four votes more
than enough to pass the bill over the
veto.
Incidentally, this might be said to be
the fourth time that an attempt has
been made to pass this particular Dill,
with only slight changes, over the
veto of a President, the first time ioi-
lowing the veto of Cleveland, the sec
ond that of Taft and the third the veto
of Wilson during the last Congress.
The Senatc's action to-day was IN
spite Of fervent warning by Senator
James A. Reed. of Missouri, that such
action might lead to hostilities with
Japan. and his declaration that this
was no time to be taking steps which
might antagonize one Of the great ma
tions of the world.
Speaks for State Department
"The Japanese hold" said Mr.. Reed,
"that this bill legislates against them.
| am authorized by the State Depart
men, to say that the State Department
feels that the clause may be occasion
for some Misunderstanding and that the
State Department is desirous that
nothing be zone that might cause the
Japanese government TO feel that we
have in any way violated the under
standing that row exists. This is no
time or place to be seeking new points
of difference or new points or friction
with great nations"

MAN
 BUYS OLD KAY MINE

Thursday last Dr. M. T. Uhler, of Philadelphia, made the first payment on the purchase of the Kay mines at Mineral Park. The property purch- ased is situated in the main Mineral Park wash, just above the town, and has long been known as one of the promising properties of the camp. While it only has a small amount of development work done it shows good copper values, and the vein is very wide
 The property is owned by MT. and Mrs. John Kay, these owners having held it the past several years. At one time it was purposed to drill the ground, but owing to differences the drill was placed on other and higher ground, where the showing was much poorer. Dr. Uhler intends to sink deep shaft on the mines and open the ore bodies below the water level.

Dr. Edward Bowes spoke on "Pa- triotism" and pictured how this nation was drawn into the conflict by Ger man intrigues and how it must go to the support of France for what France did for America in the trying days of the Revolution.
 Judge c. L. Lewis declared that the present conflict is the beginning of the final struggle between democracy and autocracy. Democracy will tri- umph, he asserted, but it may be nec- essary for this nation to offer its whole man-power and money-power before the desired ends are accom- plshed.
 Judge Morrison was the last speak CT. He thrilled his audience and kept interest at high pitch throughout his address.
 The hall was decorated with Ameri- can flags and bunting and a large number of school children were banked on the stage back of the speakers. The entire program was interspersed with the singing of patriotic songs by the school children and the audience.

We are at war-but it has very hard for any of us in our peace-loving country to realize what this means, but the splendid spirit shown by the citizens of our country indicates that if they are shown what is needed, they will do it.

 J. H. Rosenberg acted as master of ceremonies and explained the pur- poses of the meeting.
 Judge John A. Ellis was the first speaker. He explained the Liberty loan in a straightforward, logical and practical manner and declared that 1t will be necessary for the people to practice rigid economy to provide the necessary funds for carrying on the war. The speaker emphasized the i'm portance of supporting the govern ment, saying that every citizen owes to the government his money and his life for the protection the government provides for every person, be he in high or low position.
 Robert w. Wilde was the next speaker. He devoted his speech to the financial importance of the loan and explained how the loan had become a an sql sl!dssQ 'uon!sodoId IBuosIsd mendous cost of the war, he said, the nation will emerge financially strong CT and declared that the money will be raised by taxation or bond issue.

SOUNDS CLARION CALL FOR REAL
 PATRIOTS TO BACK NATION IN WAR

Seven hundred thousand American boys now are training for the war in France, ready to offer their lives for their country. What are you going to do with your money? Are you going to loan it to the government to help feed, clothe and supply those boys with the materials to win this war? Are dollars more previous than American lives?
 That was the graphic picture paint ed and the pointed question asked by Robert E. Morrison of Prescott in a Liberty Day address at the Elks' hall last Wednesday afternoon. Mir. Nor rison urged in forceful manner that every dollar be thrown into the fray to back up the men who have gone forth to battle for their country.
 Now is not the time to bubble about investment, he argued. Are we going to allow them to 'go over the top with the realization that we back here at home consider our dol lars more precious than their lives ?"
 Liberty Day was observed through out the nation with patriotic fervor. The day was designed to give the na- tion a chance to take patriotic in ventory of itself to the end that the Liberty loan might be heavily sub scribed. In Kingman the stores were closed in the afternoon. While there

FOOD DRIVE ID BE LAUNCHED.
 IN THIS COUNTY TOMORROW.
Manager Thompson Has Plans Ready 10 CGnUds Entire District in Week.

Food Will Win the War" is the slogan to ring throughout the nation next week. The big food drive will be launched tomorrow by Campaign Manager E. F. Thompson and his cap tains in every precinct in the county and nothing will be left undone to impress upon the housewives the ne cessity of saving every ounce of food possible, that the American soldiers and the allies may be fed.
 Without food, the soldiers can do nothing. Consequently, a nationwide campaign has been launched. to get the American people to insure an ade- quate supply.
 "We must have meat, fats, diary products, wheat and sugar" says the statement issued by Warren McArthur state campaign director of the pledge card committee. "We must educate ourselves and all of the families in this great country to substitute for these needed foods, foods of which they have plenty.

out by the executive committee com posed of about 50 business men of Kingman. The business men of the other towns deserve great credit for their cooperation, for they, too, drop ped their own business affairs and went at the loan with their sleeves rolled up and a determination to help old Mohave "cover herself with glory"
 Speakers scurried back and forth across the county day and night to help the various communities hold ral- lies and demonstrations to arouse the people. The slogan Liberty dollars for Liberty boys" went straight to the hearts of men and women and the re- sponse spelled success.
 The Liberty Loan Women also de- serve great credit for their co-opera- tion. Mrs. w. L. Linville was chair man of the Women's Liberty Loan committee in this county and the women of Kingman and the other towns of the county were enlisted in the campaign. Not only did the wom- en boost the campaign and render their moral support, but they actually subscribed to the loan. A number of women brought their savings to the banks and purchased in their own names bonds for $50 and S100, some of them unbelnown to their husbands.
 The following statement was issued this morning by Chairman Rosenberg:
 q desire to express my thanks and appreciation for the cooperation of the members of the Mohave County Liberty Loan League and every person who subscribed, in making the cam paign in Mohave county a success. It shows what we can accomplish by put ting our shoulders to the wheel and working together. Mohave county has cause to be proud of the Second Liber- ty loan campaign. We have done our duty and rendered patriotic service to our country"
