CHANCE OR OF GERMANY IN
 HUT WATER

LONDON, Oct 8. - External pres. sure to force Germany to state her war aims having failed, internal con. ditions threaten to compel the i'm Derial german government to issue a full statement regarding her aims. ac- cording to reliable information re. ceived here through neutral sources.
 According to this authority, Chan. cellor Michaelis is about to meet the crisis of his political career. He has been called upon to face the ever. Increasing number of critics of the government in the reichstag some time this week, probably late today when he is expected to discuss the governments war aims and desires. It is expected that the debate will cen. ter on the charges, oft repeated, that the Junker bureaucracy and the army have been furthering the pan-German scheme of annexations and indemni. ties.

The wire drag ship L. Roscoe, which has been working in southeastern Alaska waters during the past sum- mer, has completed it's work for the season, and the officers have left for the south to reduce their notes of the summers work to paper. The party started work at Berner's bay and worked south through Favorite and Saginaw passages into Stephens pas sage and as far south as Point Young. The entire area was dragged to a depth of S5 feet and few shoals were found which showed less water than this, and the few discovered show over forty feet.

MAN LIVING IN OLDEST HOUSE
 |S LOYAL

LONDON, Oct S-AIthough he re- sides in the oldest inhabitated house in England, T. Mcguire is by no means Tory. Also, doubtless because he is Irish he is one of the liveliest rooters for Uncle Sam this side of New York.
 Sitting in the picturesque garden of his eighth century home, over looking the ruins of the ancient Ro- man city of Verulamium, Mcguire read in his evening paper that the Sammies were on the morrow to pa rade in London in force. Next day he was among the first and noisiest of the record breaking crowd in Ira falgar Square that cheered the pass ing Sammies.
 Only few days previous he had an argument with a narrow-minded fel- low townsman' concerning Americas s coming in. The latter had said that Uncle Sam was actuated by dollar motives and had held off until he was sure that with his assistance the All lies would win. Mcguire retorted:
 That's no way for the likes of you to talk. When America says she is not after indemnity or territory, what grounds have you-especially you for such an ungrateful assertion? Don't you think that America shows her unselfishness when she says she is willing to pour out her blood and treasurer, and is sending her sons of the Pilgrim Fathers, the Irish Exiles, the Scotch Crofters and English ar tisans, who are mostly the victims of English junkerism, to save you and the likes of you from your half-bro- then the Hun, at whose shrine you have worshipped for so many years.
 That ended the argument.

vile that evening in very dense fog. A big snoWstorm was anticipated and Ehlers could see visions of using a shovel the next morning but fortunate ly the storm didn't break.
 He left Victorville the next morning about eight o'clock. arriving in Parker at D. m. after stopping for lunch at Ludlow and supper at Blythe Junction.
 At Blythe Junction, Ehlers en- countered some of the real old fash toned wild and woolly west. It was a struggling little place, mostly tent houses and gambling was at its height. It seems there was controversy as to what county Blythe Junction was To- cated in and the MeXicans, er-do- wells and others were making the most Of their opportunity. LaWlessness reigned supreme.
 After much difficulty Ehlers found one tent house where fire water and ham and" was served. He was sitting at the rough lumber counter when three of the would be bad hombres" rolled in, demanding he buy a drink. "Why to h. should 1 buy you a drink?" shot back Ehlers. An argu- ment started then but about that time the camp beauty wobbled in. Ehlers says Wobbled, because she had evident ly been hitting up the cheap Whiskey and was somewhat the worse for wear. Now Ehlers is big stropping chap and one can't blame this belle of the burglars" to become smitten with his manly charms Ehlers didn't know it at the time-he only knew everyone started getting sore. Afterwards he was informed no "d-- stranger was going to make love to their gal "Well. I wasn't flattered bit" laughed Ehlers. flor she sure was bird
 At seven o'clock next morning he left Parker, arriving here about p. m. that afternoon.
 In speaking of the roads, Ehlers says that from CadiZ to Parker via the Par ker cutoff, they are in bad shape with more than their share of rutS and rocks From Blythe Junction to Par ker. the road is reasonably good. The Low road is impossible at this time be- cause of the high water of the Colorado river but the high road is in pretty good condition.
 The new road out of Parker to Sa- lome is over sandy country and has just been newly graded. This is really the most difficult stretch and several times the Oldsmobile had to assist the other parties in passing.
 The old road out of Parker however is in very good condition and this is the way one should go. From Salome to Phoenix the road is in fair condi tion.
 That Oldsmobile sure did behave wonderful and l don't think there is any sand deep enough to stop her said Ehlers

STRONG
 FUR TRA|[ERS

The Bennett Lumber company an nounces that the Utility Trailers are continuing to be in increasing demand
 Tn Arizona. The company has given en- tire satisfaction and are proven in many cases to be indispensable to the merchant having a hauling problem. They are used in Southern California probably to greater extent than in any other field. Among many lumber
 companies using these trailers is the
 Montgomery & Mullen Lumber com
 pany of Los Angeles. Under date of
 May 26 the company wrote as folloNs:
 Los Angeles Trailer Co.,, Seven teenth and Main streets. Gentlemen We always hear of our mistakes and unsatisfactory service, but hardly ever of good service. Therefore, we thought you might be interested to know that the two-wheel trailer you made for us, according to the showing of the speed ometer has gone over 5000 miles, and without cent of expense. and to all appearances it is good for as many more.
 We have two others of the same
 klnd of trailers in use, but 1t is too
 early yet to say much about them, but
 there Is no reason why they should not last, like the first one

SHOPPING IN ECUADOR

In an article on Quito the City or the Equator" Harry A. Franck de- scribes in the June Century some of the difficulties he encountered when shopping in South America.
 The line of demarkation between the gente decente and the gente del publo of Quito is the white collar. Naturally the tendency is to make ir as wide and distinct as possible. When I had searched the entre cty 1 found my customary brand of collar,-at four tines it's American price,-but the lowest collar in stock was weirdly suggestive of some species of human giraffe.
 "'You misunderstood me- I pro- tested. I did not ask for cuff, but for collar
 But this is a collar, Senor,' cried the shopkeeper
 Something lower please
 But this is a very low collar. It is so low that no one in Quto VII wear it. and we are not importains any more of this brand.
 In the matter of shoes I found at last a Massachusetts product that might have been endurable; but when had beaten the dealer down to seven was found to be the largest size in stock. The merchant lowered on the verge of tears.
 Why, Senor,' he gasped, gazing resentfully at the offending member, there is not foot in Quito as large as that shoe.

If YOU have not the cash available either to pay in full or on the govern ments instalment terms. you can sub scribe through a broker or through your employer, on partial payment plan.
 The broker or employer subscribes for you, paying in full. You pay him so much down and so much per month or week until you have settled the indebtedness.
 There are number of methods be- ing offered. The three most in vogue are outlined here.
 Plan
 The payments are initial and monthly Initial, $10 per $100 bond.
 Monthly, S5 per s100 bond on July l and the first of each succeeding month Interest is charged on the amount you owe, an amount constantly reduced by your payments. interest on the bonds is collected and credited to you If the interest charged is 3l5 per cent you will make 31a per cent on every dollar you pay in from the time you pay it in.
 The bonds will be paid for by De-

This protest, it has been alleged ln some quarters, is made largely be- cause Ford is locating his factory in Ireland and will employ Irish labor chiefly. Also, it is said, the English manufacturers dread the higher wages that Ford will pay to his em- ployes as much as they dread the competition Of American methods. MI. Ford recently made all his pat ents on tractors the property of the allied nations so that they might be wood in fi,rtherine war work

 A strong protest has been made to the English government by the As seciation of British Motor and Allied Manufacturers against the license granted to Ford. It is stated by this organization that the competition thus permitted will prove disastrous to English manufacturers because at the wars end Ford will be in a better position than they to meet the motor ear demand in the British Isles.
