Peace Bluff

It is too early to be talking about peace that is to be talking about it earnestly. And talking about it in the way of bluff have tendency only to prolong the war There is basis for peace in sight. We do not know really how the is going. The we get from it is unenehtening for though the printed reports specific enough thinking and observing people have ceased to believe them. The space they occupy might almost well be left blank
 We hear of engagement here and there whose result is heralded victory. when as matter of fact the three years has produced no nearly de- cisive victory and no victory which of serious effect.
 Won Kluck won victories in the course of his rush toward Paris but they almost nullified by the later allied victory of the Marne. It is true the Ger yet remain allied soil The Central Powers won victory at the Dardanelles. Von Hindenburg tremendous victory the Russians in the north and again the Russians driving them out of Poland. Brusiloff series of victories over the Teutons year ago, but later the Russians driven back and Rumania was conquered. The Gen. tral Powers also Serbia.
 These the only victories date and there have been none on the sea. A German squadron sank a British squadron off the coast of Chile. An avenging British squadron sank the Germans Falkland Island. The battle of Jutland costly dog fal,." All other engage land have resulted only in advant- ages gained by side the other at such to leave a doubt whether the gains have been pensatory. Many of these engagements such those in Mesopotamia and along the Izonzo and Saloniki appear to be remote from any ultimately decisive result.
 The German submarine campaign might alone end the war, but far it has given sign of doing Nor anywhere else is there sign that the is end was 1
 The small American force in France can produce nothing more than a moral effect. It cannot even take p,ace the front three months. The first selectve army of 650O0O go the trenches until nearly a year has elapsed and army even if well trained of that size could not be greatly felt in battle thousand miles long, where the contending forces counted by the millions. It would take two years put the last of complete army of 100000 into the fled.

many by asserting that we, if given the chance, would be guilty of atrocities like those she has committed"
 Touching on the matter of language Col Roosevelt declared that We must have in this country but one flag, and for the speech of the people but one language the English language. Dur ing the present war all newspapers published in German or in speech Of ary of our foes, should be required to publish side by side with the foreign text, columns in English containing the exact translation of everything said in the foreign language Ultimately this should be done with all newspapers published in foreign language in this country"
 Universal suffrage should be based on universal service in peace as well as war said Col. Roosevelt in conclusion of his address. "Those who refuse to render the one should have no title to enjoyment of the other"

 The right to make a homestead en- try and to hold the entry after it has been allowed is, as we have seen d personal one. Prior to the submission of proof and issuance of final certi- ficate (except as to reclamation homestead entries, where the entry man has been allowed special priv ilege) the homestead entry cannot be assigned or transferred. The only way in which he can part with his interest is by relinquishment, after which the land so reliquished is subject to entry by the first qualified applicant, who must start anew to comply with the laws as to residence and the other requirements, regardless of what the former entryman has or has not done. So also as to the right of settler known as a ''possessory right" Each settler is given credit only for his own actual residence, and not that of any former settler. When a settler abandons the land he has settled or squatted upon that land reverts to the public domain and any person en- tering it must take it subject to the laws and regulations in force at the time the application is filed.
 One often hears an entryman say I have sold my relinquishment," That does not mean that the entryman has sold or the buyer actually bought anything The relinquishment is all ways to the government (the United States) and not anyone else. The | speaker merely means that he has | divested himself of his interest in the | homestead, evidence of which is the relinquishment, by filing the latter in I the United States land office or de- livering it to the purchaser who is | ha lir,n h arp1..T mi in the land office. Inasmuch as the relinquishment may be, as it invaria bly, is, accompanied by the new ap- plication of the purchaser, who is 1 therefore the first applicant to file or 1 the land after the relinquishment be- comes effective, the sale of the re- | linuuishment amounts to virtually q sale of an interest in the land. though actually the second person has en- tered upon and filed on vacant land There are many pitfalls to be guarded against in purchasing relinquishments and it is best to have a competent man versed in public land law t' safeguard ones interests, though. O. | course. the employement of a lawyer is not obligatory.
 In or before applying for govern ment land the intending applican should first ascertain the status O the land. That is a matter of trans cendental importance. for there ma, be valid existing claims to the land or government withdrawals affectlnt it. for it must be borne in mind tha not all vacant lands are subject t entry or settlement. It is we'll in thl ing entering government land to g connection, for the person contemplat over the land personally before filln' his application. The government cal furnish the land seeker with no mean
 of .ascertaining the location or de
 sirability of lands, but leaves that U
 him and he profits or loses according to his Investigations,
 AS we have shown, a homestead entry may be made for any land no

WAR DEVELOPER 0F RESOURCES
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel


 LONDON. July 6-Reviewing the work of the ministry of munitions, Dr. Christopher Addison had an encourag- ing and fascinating story to tell in the house of commons of amazing develop ments in that department after initial disappointments and difficulties and of the eXpedients and determination whereby they had been overcome. His revelation of the remarkable output of munitions and armaments and how the necessities of war so stimulated ma tional ingenuity and enterprise that to- ' tally unexpected developments of na- tural resources were secured which will be of unrivalled service to the na- tion after the war gave parliament and the public the keeneSt SatiSfac- tion.
 { Dr. Addison emphasized the enor- nous increase in home production of what. previous to the war, had been obtained from abroad, and said that after the war, as an instance. Great i; Britain would find herself with her capacity for steel production increased by 50 per cent
 One of the most welcome allusions was to the fact that Great Britain would no longer be dependent upon i GefHlany TOT potash.
 MT. Addison incidentally paid tribute to Kenneth Quinan, California en- gineer who designed and equipped the new Factories.
 He is not the only American citi- zen who has assisted the ministry of munitions throughout it's career" said the minister but in the great work at Queens Ferry, Gretna and other iv1n Il, his genius of factories which to a
 large extent will be of permanent Value
 to peace industries"
 He mentioned the discovery of a component of a new type which possess
 sed great advantages for certain pur-
 poses. A large supply of this had been
 produced in short time and was
 proving of the greatest value in faciil-
 tatng the advance at the front and ir
 saving life.
 The requirements regarding the ac- , cumulation of great reserve of fielt
 gun ammunition would be met in good
 time and notwithstanding the enor- | nous expenditure in the first nnt
 weeks of the offensive the stock O.
 filled shells had only fallen off sever | per cent
 The supplies of the new design tank. , were coming forward excellentIy, an, , continued the minister, the end of tn, ? story is not yet, for the enthusiasm O
 Colonel Stern, the inventor of the tank. and his colleagues knows no limits With respect to steel, the ministe 2 said the demands for steel were S, 3 many that the control had been yer, s close and, notwithstanding all the hell r from Canada and the United States h. could not offer any immediate pros l pect of relief Notwithstanding the cos l of material and labor, the governmen was obtaining steel plates in this coun try at less than half their cost in tn United States, while shell steel cost 3 per cent less.
 The widespread employment of wo o men had been attended with little diff f ficuity From sixty to eighty per cen . of the machine work on shells, fus e and trench warfare supplies was don : by women.

PUBLIC LAND
 DEPARTMENT

By special arrangement with A. Mandl, land attorney, The Arizona Republican will conduct a Land Department. Not only will Attor- ney Mandl, through the Repubi- can, attempt to answer questions of general interest relating to pub bile lands. federal and state, but he also proposes to place this depart nent without charge at the serv- ice of all homestead entrymen who have enlisted in or been called to the service of our country. Those desiring to avail themselves of this service should notify this de- parement. Such notices should state number and date of entry and full description of land entered. All communications should be ad- dressed to Land Editor, Arizona Republican.
 The Republican assumes no re- sponsibie tor the vieWs or opin- ions expressed in this department. This responsibility rests entirely with Attorney Mand, who ranks among the successful specialists in public land law in the south west. He is graduate of the New York university, was for years connected with the General Land Office and with local land office as special agent and law clerk.
