siderable military training. He at

and organized and drilled a regiment
of which he was major. His stepson.

The Commissioner today passed the

THAT means we must organize an effec-

 There was no infantry action Sun day on this front, the British having carried out their attack against the Germans Saturday night at the same time General Neville's forces We're penetrating German positions near Lombar(zyde Belgium and inflicting casua ties on the defenders.

 PUBLIC OPINION
Republican A. p. Leased wireI

COPENHAGEN. April S.-(Nia Lon don, April 9.)-The German emperor's commitment to the reform of the Prus- sian franchise contained in the rescript to the imperial chancellor Dr. von Bethmann- HOllWeg, is in effect an at tempt to stem the tide of public opin- ion demanding the immediate introduc- tion of a reform bill. The emperor, through his rescript. pledges the au thority of the throne to some project of reform, thus meeting the objections of the reform element tOf vOn Beth mann HOllWeg's policy postpOning such legislation until the end of the war.
 The chancellor's appeal to delay the work of reform in the interests of in ternal harmony, it was declared in re- cent debates in the reiChstag and the Prussian diet. fell in with the plans of the PIuSSian conservatives who are announcing more or less vaguely their readiness to cooperate in an alterna- tive Prussian three-cfass franchise af- ter the war.
 Notwithstanding the charcellor's ap- peal the vote in the reichstag just be- fore the Easter recess showed an over Whelming majority for the immediate introduction of the reform bill and it is doubtful if it's advocates can be dis suaded by the imperial pledges.
 The imperial rescript is noteworthy for the absence of two of the four amendments in the class'C rormuIa for electoral reform universal, equal, secret, direct balIot''-the emperor on committing himself only to the aboli- ton of the three class franchise and the substitution of a direct secret bal iOj. The omission of the word uni Versal' is not especially significant. as general manhood suffrage already pre- vails and votes for women are not at present an issue
 But the avoidance of the word "eQuaT' is considered a concession to the conservative pressure and would seem to indicate that won Bethmann'S project which has found the emperor's approval, is along lines which some of the conservatives have indicated to be acceptable, namely, for a diluted sui fraSe in which extra votes would be given for property, educational and public service and for other special qualifications. The property interests, hy these additional votes, running as high as five would be able to save something of the power whereby the Junkers dominated the Prussian diet, and, through it, the imperial govern mont.
 The suggestion, thrown as sop 10 patriotic sentiment was that an extra vote be granted Wearers of the Iron TOSS.
 The adoption by Prussia of the se- CreT ballot, however, would be a great advantage over the present system landholders of the junket class having been able to add to their dominant po- sition in elections carried on through the three classes system by control of the third or lower voting curia in the country districts, the peasant farm hands not daring to vote openly against candidates of their employer.
 For what measure of reform is con- tained in the imperial rescript, Ger mans may thank the Americans and Russians. President Wilson's message and the Russian reN lution aligned the liberal and modern rorces with the

I return will be able to give more information.
 The business of the creamery com pany will go on as in the past, de- clared MT. Cook "The organization will remain the same and the policy the same. The people of the valley are to be congratulated on having a corporation of the vast importance or Armour & Co. coming into the Vd1iey The people need have no apprehenslon of the future at all. It means that the Pacific Creamery company Will De larger than ever. From what l know of J. Ogden Armour and his organlza ion, I believe there is no more splendid one in the United States. The offices of the new institution are to be moved to Phoenix
 Of the three Armour & Co. repre- sentatives who were here to complete the transaction, Mir Stull and MT. Freund have returned to Chicago. MT. Evans, the mechanical expert, still is in the city. None of the Armour men would say how long that great insti- tuition had been considering the pur- chase of the Pacific Creamery com pany, but it was declared last night by MT. j. E. Cook that the first over lures were made by Armour, and that the price was satisfactory"
 Tt is safe to say that in the man. agement of the Pacific Creamery com- pany the Armour company will make no exception and will develop 1t to its full capacity said P. w. Evans, mechanical engineer of Armour & Co.,, at the Adams hotel last night. Tt can not fail to be a great thing for this valley. From my study of the Tempe plant I am convinced that in the man. ufacture of evaporated milk the Pa cific Creamery company has all other like concerns excelled. It has won a great reputation in the southwest and will be even more popular under the liberal management of Armour x Co.
 This is the first evaporated milk plant to be acquired by Armour in the southwest" said Mir. Evans. They own plants in Wisconsin, but their product does not equal that of the Tempe plant. To call Armour & Co. merely packers is a misnomer. They are food producers. You can buy any thing in the food line from them."
 The present Pacific Creamery com- pany was organized in Los Angeles sixteen years ago by Messrs. J. B. and w. Nj. Cook Ten years ago they moved the plant to Tempe. The pres ent capacity of the plant is 900 cases of Lily" brand milk daily. Seventy five men are employed. At present the creamery company owns no cows, all the milk being bought from farmers No estimate of the amount of money paid annually by the creamery com panv to the farmers of the Maricopa valley would be made by MT. Cook The product of the plant is shipped to Texas, New Mexico and all over Arizona. It is expected that under the management of the ArmouTs the plant will be greatly enlarged and the trade territory extended to include all the states of the southwest. No change 1T the name of the plant is anticipated.

 AMSTERDAM, April ', (via Lon don. April s.)--Direct and secret elee- tion CI deputies in Prussia at the end Of the war is provided by Emperor William in his order to Chancellor von BethmannH Hollweg, directing re- forms in the Prussian electoral law He declares that ''in view Of the gigantic deeds of the entire people there is no more room in Prussia for elections by the classes" In connec- tion with this phase in his proposal Emperor William said:
 Reform of the Prl ssian diet ana liberation of our entire inner political life are especially dear to my heart. For the reform of the electoral law of the lower house preparatory worF- already had been begun at my re quest although before the outbreak of the war.
 - charge you now to submit to me definite proposals of the ministry of state so that upon the return of our warriors this work which is fInda- mental for the internal formation Of Prussia, be carried out by legisla- ton. Tn view of gigantic deeds of the entire people there is, in my opinion. no more room in Prussia for election by the classes.
 The blI will haze to provide further for direct and secret election of deputies The merits of the up per house and it's lasting significance for the state. no king of Prussia will r judge.
