The ladies OF the ROckland auxil-

tai linens. pajama suits and other re-
Quired garments. but they sent twenty
five Christmas packets full of good
things for our boys in France. Added
10 this they recently sent in a check
OF over 500. proceeds from a Hal
lowe'en frOlic.
Isn't this q splendid record? Let US
not be outdone by our Rockland sis
ters. but let's get busy" and give as
much of our time as possible 10 the

 Baron Akerhielm, Swedish change here. said tonight in response to a query that Cronholm was dismissed from the diplomatic service last Jan uary He would not discuss the cause. but there was no intimation that it was in any way connected with Cronholm's s relations with the Germans.
 Baron Akerhielm called at the state department during the day to inform Secretary Lansing that he had re- celved from his government the state ment already given to the public at Stockholm explaining that Sweden had forwarded despatches from the Ger man minister at Buenos Aires to Ber- lin in German code without knowledge of their contents. He did not leave a copy of the statement. It is assumed that the Stockholm foreign office will not address any communication to the American government on the subject.
 The departments translation of the von Eckhardt letter follows:

 Herr Folke Cronholm, the Swedish charge d'affaires here since his arrival , here has not disguised his sympathy for Germany and has entered into close relations with his legation.

 ance and support in prosecuting this
 war to a successful conclusion, that in truth the world may be made safe

 governments. Judge Baughn stated
 that he held it to be automatic that a

Special to The Republican,

FLORENCE, Ariz., Sept 13.-Pinal county sent off her first quota to Uncle Sam's national army with a hearty god-speed, which conveyed to the boys who left, the appreciation of the peo- pie of this county and their stern de- termination to stand behind and sup port them while they are in the service of the government
 The boys left Sunday afternoon from Florence in charge of J. D. Bennett. The evening before, al the Isis theater in Florence, the mothers, daughters, wives and sWeetheartS, together with the general outpouring of the entire city, met and took part in appropriate services of farewell.
 The Florence Chamber of Commerce at it's meeting two weeks ago appointed 8 committee to arrange for the fare well exercises. Captain J. G. Heating acted as chairman of the meeting and a long and interesting program of rnu- Sical numbers and addresses was rend- cred. Rev. Churchill delivered the in vocation and asked the God of Hosts that these young men might go forth to battle for humanity and the right With clean minds and a sturdy reliance upon Divine assistance.
 The mucisal numbers were in charge of the prison orchestra, the solos be- ing rendered by Parole Clerk Suman, Secretary John Redmond and Conrad Mills of Phoenix The musical hit of the evenings farewell exercises was a solo rendered by Mr Redmond called 50 Long Danny" it having been es- pecially composed for the occasion in honor of Dan Bennett, the clerk of the court at Florence, who waived all eX- emption rights and asked that he might go with the first quota from Pinal county.
 The principal addaess was deliv- cred by Judge o. J. Baughn. He dis cussed in a general way the duty oi American citizens in this world war and pointed out that we were trying in this country the greatest experiment. in elf-government in the history ot the world and that the question O whether or not the United State. would continue to survive and fulfil its mission as a great republic de- pended entirely upon the citizens o this country and their attitude toward their government.

Fur ther advices indicate that twenty five tickets were purchased at Columbus this afternoon by men who boarded the westbound limited train. Some of their destinations were for Bisbee and Doug las. while others read to Hachita and to California points.
 Late this afternoon eleven men from Columbus were detained at the Forest ranch guard camp, located about seven miles east of BfSbee on the Bisbee- Douglas highway. They were brought into the city later this afternoon and were held under arrest.
 Plans have been perfected by citi- zens of Bisbee to meet tonight's west bound southwestern passenger train, which arrives at Osborn Junction at 9 40 o'clock and also to meet the west bound morning train.
 Those men who have returned to Bisbee declare, in nearly every case, their intention of closing up any busi- ness they may have in the Warren dis trict and leaving at once. In fact, about half of those who returned to- day have already left or will leave this evening.
 Seven of the returned men are now in jail charged with having failed to report for examination at Tombstone for the draft. They will be taken to the county seat tomorrow.

France recently gave each officer or the lower grades an opportunity to indicate his preference in dny special branch or artillery work.
