 Prescott lately has been getting some free publicity through the medi- um of one of the Brisley Drug Com pany's ads, which appeared in the Journal-Miner. East, North. South and West the little item has been copied and the paragraphers have done things to it," putting the case mild. From New York to San Fran cisco and from Seattle to San Diego the advertisement has appeared, with and without comment, but mostly with. One paper put a heading on 1t entitled Sure Death Brisley,' while another opined it would take no chances by trading with the Prescott druggist. Another paper says: This has such an ominous sound that we don't believe we could be induced to patronize Brislcy's" Friends have marked papers containing the item and mailed them to Mir Brisley from all parts of the United States, one coming from New Orleans yesterday, with the following annotation on the margin: Tell Mabel her dad should get a new ad writer
 While the ad was duck soup for the funny columns, Prescott has put herself on the map, so there has been nothing lost something gained and the whole United States has had the pleasure of indulging in a grin.

MRS. RICHARDS IS WINNER IN
 COAT CASE
JURY IN SUPERIOR COURT RETURNS VERDICT IN FAVOR OF DEFENDANT AFTER BEING OUT BUT A SHORT TIME.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The suit of John Alarksbery against Mrs. Annie Richards, administrative of the estate of the late John Rich ards, was decided in favor of the de- fcndant, the jury which had been hearing tine evidence in the Superior court returning its verdict at o'clock yesterday evening.
 The suit had been instituted by Markesbery, who alleged that in 1910 he had sold a flock of goats to Rich ards, and that the latter had never finished paying for the animals. The trial Of the case occupied several days, and an effort was made by the defense to show that the account had been settled in full. There were l,S0C goats involved in the original transac- ton, which were sold at $l.50 head Mrs. Richards contended that a final settlement had been made with Markesbery shortly before the death of the former, and this side of the controversy was evidently strong enough to make an impression in the minds of the jury. The verdict came after deliberations of but half all hour.

Says German Guilt For Conflict

Londsn.-"I see they again are

Robert Cecil, minister of blockade,
in his weekly talk with the Associat-
ed Press. 1T is an old song, but |
think the time has come, particular

well to restate briefly the bald facts
regarding the beginning of this great
conflict.

England began the war. IL any per-

speaker would have been regarded
by everybody as a dangerous lunatic.
Our peoples thoughts were the
farthest possible from war and our
statesmen were overwhelmingly oc-
cupied with domestic affairs, particu-
larry the Irish question, to the al
most complete exclusion of interna-
tional politics.
1T is true that some Of our peo-
pie had been saying for year OF
more before that time that Germany
intended TO attack US, but their warn
ings fell on deaf ears, so much so
that no preparations were made.

"An Italian writer has shown US
how in 1913 Germany approached
the Italian Government with view
to taking action in the Balksns. but
Italy said she would regard such a
war as offensive and not defensive,
and would not lend her support.
Germany withdrew her proposals, as
she did not think she then was strong
enough to 90 it alone.
American Ambassador Gerard has
told us theGerman crown prince made
no secret of his desire for war and
that he even expressed the hope that
it would come before his father died;
and he added that if it did not come
before his father died it would come

"Balfour's secretary, Ian Malcolm,
has also quoted his conversation with
the crown prince, in which the prince
suggested that England and Germa-
ny should combine to destroy France.
"There is no question but that.
Germany had made up her mind that
somewhere about the summer Of
1914 would be the best time for war

service act becoming effective and
the Russian strategic railways not
