 In reply to the question as to where he secured the whiskey, he stated that he had started out of Rodeo and over took a Ford car in which the whiskey was being hauled, but the parties in the car jumped out and left the whis- key and car He took the whiskey in- to his car and came on with it, but did not look for the parties in the other car or even get the number of the Ford.
 The statements made to the repre- sentatives of the sheriff's office in Bis bee and that made to the deputies on the road did not correspond and as a consequence an information was filed against the men in Tombstone. They were placed under arrest and put up 5000 cash for their appearance when wanted and returned to their homes at Paradise. The case will probably be tried in Tombstone next week.

 ''l kept reading about Tanlac in the papers, but l couldn't make up my mind to try it, because had tried so many different kinds of medicines and had been disappointed each time. But when my friends. wLo knew my dread ful condition begged me I bought a bottle and began taking it and the re- suits in my case have been nothing short of wonderful. After using my third bottle l found had increased in weight from one hundred and eighteen pounds to one hundred and fifty-two, making an actual gain of thirty-four pounds-all my doubles were gone and I was feeling likes another man.
 Although it has been a year and a half since Tanlac relieved me of my awful catarrhal trouble and indigestion and made live worth living,I still retain my increase in weight and feel simply fine all the time. I've been eating anything want all the time-in fact anything anybody else can-and sleep ing like a child every night. Being made into a strong healthy man after suffering as long as did is enough to make me rejoice and I'm glad to en- dorse Tanlac because 1 know what it has done for me.

Practically all South American
nations are taking steps strictly to

Montevideo today to patrol its coast
line. The Brazilian government has
already despatched several Of it's
war vessels to back up enforcement
of neutrality.
Meanwhile dispatches up and down
the South American coast indicated
a concentration Of allied warships in
these waters. Wireless advices from
the Falkland islands said that six
British warships had sped north from
there, searching for the sea terror.

The Canadian plan is "dflution OF

men in plants, but introduction OF
feminine workers so that male labor
can be spread over greater time and
greater number Of machines.

factories at first Some of these, OF

didn't like the CRIME and dirt But
forty of the original number stuck.
Then Canadian women awoke to the
necessity for munitions and real and
earnest workers started to pour in
applications. Most of these have
stuck right on the Job. They have
proven careful, efficient, steady, re-
liable and, in many cases, better at
work requiring delicate workmanship
than men. No heavy labor is at

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 20.-Pigmy
submarines-1S feet In length-are
carried by the German raider which
has wrought such damage to allied
shipping in Atlantic waters.
The captain of the captured British
steamer Netherby Hall. among those
landed at Pernambuco from the Ger.
man prize ship Hudson Maru was
authority for this statement today.
There are three submarines car.
risd BY the raider" he said. In an
interview at Pernambucos "They ara
capsule off opeTa ton over small
radius and are equipped with torpe.
does. dynamite and ammunition.
Such additional details as this in.
dicating the typical German thorough
ness with which the raider was pre-
pared and equipped. led shipping
circles to predict q long chase by
allied warships before the sea
scourge is cornered.
Certainly she has not been definite
ly located today, according to dis.
patches at South American ports
and this despite the fact that big
feet Of warships is now literally
raking the ocean for her. Wireless
dispatches received today said that
the auxiliary British cruisers Mace.
donia and, Drama had arrived oil
Pernambuco.
The most detailed description Of
the German raider yet given. was
revealed by the captain of the Meth
erby Hall. in dispatches from Per
nambuco.
II began calling for help by wfre-
less the moment I sighted the
raider" he said. II kept this up
until a shot across the bow Of my
ship showed it was useless for me
to try to escape. The raider was
equipped with several machine guns
ir addition to her cannon and in adj
dition carried three submarines about
six meters (1s) feet long, capable
of being operated over a small radius
and equipped with torpedoes, dyna-
mite and ammunition.
IT would put the raiders speed at
twenty-five knots-and she always
travelled at top speed during the day
time. At night she slowed up, but
ber engine room crew was always
held in readiness to jam on her full
speed"
Additional description from the
captain Of the Radnorshire today
gave these new details of his expert
ence, further indicating the raider
had converted one Of her prizes
into another commerce destroyer:
Another ship was constantly with
the raider. The captain of the YES
sci which captured us-which was

crate.
