tons with Germany afforded an excel

claims for fair tratment at the hands

fang presented the following memoir
andum to DR.. Paul S. Reinsch, the
American Minister, in Picking, which
is said to be virtually the same as that
presented to the ministers of other
foreign powers:
With respect to the share of the
United States of America of the in
demnity of 1901, it is hoped that she
will, with the good intention of assist
ing China's finances, suspend the pay
ment for a period of ten years. after
which period, the annual payments.
according to the original installments,
without any addition of interest, are
to be resumed,
The Chinese government hopes that
the United States of America with
tke good intention of assisting China's
finances, will agree to an immediate
imposition of surtax Of SO per cent
On the present import duty. In the

revision, levy an effective seven and

With millions of their best young

conditions that are unnatural and in

undeniably very real and very present
Little progress, however, can be made
toward its removal until the war has
ended. By which time, in the natural
course of events, 1t will have become
more threatening.
The situation offers one encouraging
aspect; it will inevitably lead to d

MAHARAJAH OF BIKANER
SPEAKS FOR INDIAN EMPIRE

LONDON, May 14-Suggestion that
tie constitutional system OF the Brit
ish Empire is really that of crown
ed republic and that an organization to
give expression to republican senti-
ments is required in England has been
scornfully repudiated by the Mahara-
jah of Bikaner The Maharajah de-
Iclared that he spoke in behalf of the
Indian Empire, the native princes, the
Indian army and the masses of the
people. Referring to letter publish
ed in a London paper in which the
republican suggestions were made, the
Maharaiah said:
81 think he would be bold man who
would say that a form of government
which might. be found satisfactory in
some other country in altogether diff
ferent circumstances would be the one
panacea for the British Empire. Can
we look with anything but serious
alarm upon any suggestion for weak
ening the very foundations of the sys-
tenn which has welded together in ever
increasing strength the various parts
OF the empire in sunshine and storm.
LAS one coming from a country
where our sacred teaching, our senti-
ments, and our traditions deeply in
spire us with veneration, affection and
devotion for the sovereign, 1 should
like to take this opportunity of de-
claring in the most unhesitating terms
that the views and suggestions OF the
writer will be repudiated with scorn
and looked upon with extreme repug-
nance throughout the Indian Empire
/ In saying this speak not only for my
brother princes and myself, but also
for the masses of India and for the
Indian army"

WHEAT[ESS| IDEA
 WORKS BETTER

The first WheatleSs day in Phoenix happened to come in a pad time for change, just as fair week was starting and the town was thronged with tran s1ents and the restaurants were spar ring to provide food and service of any sort. This Tuesday, however, offered a very much better chance and one that has been utilized to remarkable de- gree. A statement from Phoenix bakery is interesting in that the saving of white flour for single bakers shift, in preparation for Tuesday, was 500 pounds. There is prediction that this one enterprise next Tuesday and there after will consume 1,500 pounds less flour for each wheatless day than have been used on former Tuesdays.
 No French bread or pastry was made up. There was rather a rush on rye bread and on rye and graham rolls. Next week, owner Eisele is going to spring something new on the Phoenix public in the shape of war bread, on which he is experimenting It will be composed of equal parts of cornmeal. oatmeal, ryemeal and white flour, mak- ing a combination similar to the old fashioned pumperniekel, very palat- able and nutritious, and patriotic in that it will save three out of every four pounds of flour heretofore used in loaves of similar weight.
 From the restaurants. reports have come that only few patrons objected most of them dyspeptic hot bread fiends. The grocers nave plenty of rye flour on hand and suggestion is made that rye would be an excellent crop for f the farms around Flagstaff and in oth- CT mountain localities. There has been no trouble whatever in getting corn meal at a price of about F cents per pound lower than white flour A con- siderable quantity of meal is ground by local mills, which are expected to utilize the fall crop of the valley in preference to importing corn from | Kansas.
 MT. Eisele expresses himself as strongly in favor of the new move ment as something both patriotic and economic. He says, Tt will amount tc big saving right here. in Phoenix and will accomplish a mighty good end ir accustoming people to the use of coar- ser and more healthy breads. Possibly 1t will bring to the people knowledge that the army has had for years-tha- bread A hours old is much better thar | bread fresh from the oven"

ROOSEVE[T|ANS
 START PLAN FUR
 GOODROAD WORk
Enthusiastic Meeting on Southside Named Commit tee to Take Steps for the
 Improving of Highways

An enthusiastic and largely attended good roads meeting was held at the Neighborhood house in the Roosevelt district last evening. The general sen timent expressed was that with the slightest possible delay some plan should be worked out to provide for a permanent concrete highway from the south end of the Center street bridge to the base line road-a stretch of road which is practically used by ev- eryone in the SOuthside district
 K. s. Townsend had prepared a map showing the district to be benefited and Dwight B. Heard explained the proposed county bond issue and also a plan for building the road by a special road district in case the county bond issue was not pushed. The general feeling in the meeting after the various talks was that a good road on the Southside would not be any burden upon the people but the very best kind of an investment It was suggested that owing to the deplorable condition of the road to Laveen a branch of the proposed pavement should run west ward into the Laveen district and an other branch be carried through the district east of Center street
 After the fullest discussion, on mo- tion of Clay Parker who has always been strong good roads man, com mittee was appointed to prepare a map showing the assessed valuations throughout the various districts pro posed and present the same with all the facts obtainable to another meeting to be held at Neighborhood house next Tuesday evening. The committee ap- pointed was Clay Parker, J. J. Gould, Arthur Strong, Fred Galusha and Win field Hartranft
 One thing was very evident at the meeting, that the progressive South side proposes to have some immediate improvement in it's roads even although the county should not be prepared to go ahead with the county bond issue. The fearful waste involved by the present bad system of roads and the immense increase in the cost of trans porting farm products to town from the wonderfully productive Roosevelt district, was urged by all the speakers and there is every indication that the meeting next Tuesday will be largely attended and some definite plan there formulated to obtain the good roads so badly needed.

 In order that the case of men who are desirous of entering the army, and for that reason may withhold informa- tion which might cause the govern ment to place him in some different capacity than that of serving in the ranks, the questionaire makes it in cupbent upon him to answer many questions not heretofore propounded by local boards. For example a man must state specifically whether or not he has been ordained for the ministry, or whether he has ever studied for the ministry.
 Members of the local board are au- thority for the statement that minor physical deficiencies, such as flat feet, and the like will henceforth not con- st1tute cause for exemption, and that while these men will not see service at the front they will be called upon to perform some other service for the government such as work at shipbuild- ing yards, or similar work Men who have previously received exemptions for these minor causes will in all prob ability be recalled.
