WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.--While the
United States stands before the world
court Of public opinion in the anxious
waiting period which will determine
peace or war with Germany. President
Wilson is determined that there shall
be no word or deed to merit a re-
proach. even from Germany herself.
Nothing is to be done which is not
fully justified by the laws of nations
and humanity; nothing is to be done
for eXpediency; nothing is to be done
which is not legal and just
With a hope for peace, and a readi-
ness to meet war if it must be. the
president has made it clear to all his
officials that the course of the United
States. difficult as it is, must be en-
cirely beyond criticism.
To that end, German rights and prop
erty in the United States are to have
full protection of law and the president
wishes every American citizen to for
bear from any thought or act which
might lead his country nearer to war.
Hope that Germany might at the
last moment modify her declaration Of
unrestricted submarine warfare was
almost dissipated today by news dis
patches from Berlin which gave the
word Of high German officials that
there would be no turning back
With that hope waning. American
officials now only wait an actual dem
onstration of how the new decree will
affect American rights. The news of
the killing of an American seaman in
the shelling of the boats of the British
steamer Eayestone is not now regarded
as the feared overt act 1t will be
thoroughly investigated, however.
Meanwhile, Austria's case still is un-
determined While it is known that
the dual monarchy has officially ad-
hered to Germanys declaration as it
now stands before the state depart
ment herr announced intentions are
somewhat different from Germanys
but it is doubtful if there can be real
distinction.
Rupture of relations with Austria
seems no less certain than it did. but

NEW YORK, Feb. 5. - Only
eighteen members of the crews
of the German vessels here who
now are neld aboard the vessels
taken by the federal authorities,
took advantage today of the
privilege accorded them by the

sells by applying toe the immigra-
ton authorities for admission to
this country Seventeen seamen
and a stewardess who asked TO be
admitted were taken to Ellis Is
land, passed the necessary eX-
animation and were allowed TO
enter.
Il was expected that more
would follow the same course
tomorrow in the meantime, the
German ships were still under
heavy guard tonight.
The status of those on board
the German ships differs in no
respect. it was made clear. from
that of seamen just arrived, al
though force OF war circum-

Two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars annually will be saved the people
of Arizona if the efforts of the Arizona
corporation commission to secure a re-
duction in passenger rates from points
east of the Missouri river are success
ful. A hearing on the question will be
held before a member of the interstate
commerce commission at the Federal
building Friday morning, February 8,
at 10 o'clock
1t is the contention of the corpora
tion commission that the rates to Ari-
zona and other southwestern states
should be in accord with those to Mon
tana Idaho and other northwestern
states, l. e., two and two and four
tenths cents per mile from points east
of the Missouri river to the Kansas
state line and then three cents mile
west of the Kansas state line. This
is the rate to California. The rates to
the southwestern states are about 10
per cent more than the rates above
stated, making the railroad fare to
points in Arizona about $5 more than
should be charged, il is claimed.
A hearing was held in Chicago in
July, 1915. at which the carriers at
points east to the Missouri river to
southwestern states. Members of the
Arizona corporation commission at
tended that meeting and succeeded in
forestalling the efforts of the carriers.
The rates in effect previous to the
hearing in 1915 were greater than the
rates charged to corresponding terri
tory in the northwest.
In the hearing to be held in the local
federal building Friday morning. mem
bers of the commission will attempt to
show that inasmuch as the rates in
effect in 1915 were in advance Of the
rates charged to other sections of the
country, that the southwestern states
are entitled to the same rates in effect
generally TO all points west of the
Kansas state line with the exception of
the southwestern state line.
II is believed that il the decrease in
rates as advocated by the corporation
commission is granted by the inter

AUTHORIZES MATERIAL
FOR LARGE ARMY

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5.-The
Schuylkill arsenal has been author
lied by the war department to pur-
chase materials for an army of
100000 men. according to Colonel
George II. Penrose, commanding
officer at the arsenal. In the past,
he said. the arsenal had been called
upon to supply but 200,000 men
Colonel Penrose said that more
than fifty factory owners in the
New England states and as far
west as Oregon had volunteered to
turn their plants over to him for
the use of the United States gov
ernment in case of necessity. At
the present time, he added. there is
not enough stock on hand in
arsenals to meet an emergency.

Comvoying By Warshibs
Probably Not Undertaken

IRepublean A. P. Leased Wire1
WASHINGTON, Feb 5--While no
final decision has been reached as to
the attitude Of the government toward
American merchant ships sailing fos
the European war zone, it is regarded
as highly improbable in official circles
that conveying by warships win be
undertaken.
The shipping problem Is most COM
plicated one and officials charged
with preparing a statement on the
subject which was to have been given
out tonight had not completed their
task. The statement may be ready
tomorrow.
No matter what course the United
States may adopt it Is felt here that

it will lead to war if Germany carries
out her threat to sink all ships enter
ing the prescribed area.
The state department has been care
full to impress the inalien right of
Americans to travel on the high seas
on the minds of those ships who have
requested advice as to what course to
pursue, but has been equally careful
not to take any action which could be
regarded as instructions. Shippers are
left to their own discretion. with the
suggestion that while they may go out
al any time, the government calls at
tention both to the danger to the ship
and the danger of involving the coun-
try in war

WILL NOT SHEER
COMMISSIONS
POWER IN STATE

The corporation commission will not
be made subservient to the viii of
the people or to their representatives
in the Legislature. at anv raTs not at
the instance of this legislature
The Roperts proposed constitutional
amendment to divest the commission
of the Power given it by' the consti-
tuition to control corporations and
puoliG utilities, to regulate them and
their rates, was defeated in thre SEN
ate by 4 vote of Is TO yesterday
me rning.
In the house the growing and
wearisome tendency to oratory so
grew upon the nerves of Mr.. Davis Of
Pinal, that in the afternoon he voiced
a protest against the overmuch talk
ing and airing of legal erudition
which he believed was constituting
a menace to progress in the work
for which the legislators had been
elected. He asked that the rules be
applied in such a way as to gag the
orators. MT. Davis is not a frequent
Talker, but when he rises he is ac-
corded the attention of his colleagues.
There was an air of expectancy in
The senate, the house and the cor
ridors concerning the report the select
committee Of the senate which the
nominations Of Doane Merrill to be
citizen member of the board of con-
troll George H. malley to he state
examiner and members of the live
stock sanitary board sent in last
Saturday had been referred. 1t had
been reported that committee would
report yesterday and it was expected
that the senate, whatever the report
might be. would be thrown into a
parOXysm.
The most important event of the
house today will be the considera
ti0n of the general appropriation bill
in the committee of the whole. 1t
has already created furry about
the capitol because of an understand
ing that it reduces the munlficIent
salaries paid clerks and stenographers
and other attaches of the various Of
flces and commissions The heads
OF the offices and institutions are
also greatly perturbed because they
were not allowed as in the past to
suggest the appropriations that
should be made for their various de-
parDments.
The Senate In Session
In the morning session the senate
passed the bill of Mr.. Wilkinson re-
lating to the adoption of children and
the bill of Mr.. Hall prohibiting mis-
leading advertisements. The latter
was adorned with the emergency
clause to which opposition, but not
enough, was offered. 1t was pre-
dicted that it would be taken off in
the house. Mr.. Suffers substitute
for the Roberts anti gambling bill
was passed. The substitute differs
from the original in that it enumer-
ates the prescribed games. It was
found at the last moment that the
enumeration was not complete and
the "punchboard' was added to the
list.
In the committee Of the whole the
Rutherford bill for state aid Of Yav-
apai county in the construction Of a
bridge across the Verde WAS favorably
recommended, Notwithstanding it had
come from the standing committee in
the company of an adverse report

SAUSAGE BALLOON AN EYE OF FRENCH
 ARMS ON THE FRONT
Hundreds of Observation Bal looms Are Now Being Flung Far Out Over the Allied Lines in Western Theatre of War

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE, Aug.i 20.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The ''saus- age" or observation balloon, is one of the eyes of the army. It is not un- like huge sausage in appearance, a sausage with a kink in the middle, and it usually carries only a single Ob- server. There it sits all day up in the sky noting and watching, and what it sees and notes it telephones down to the guns below
 If you are in a front line British trench and take the trouble to sit on the fire step with your back to the German line, you will see, right, left, and in fact all along the British lines, hundreds of these sausages. They sit serenely there, up in the mroning, tug ging all day at their cable, down at night, apparently with no other thought than a pleasant day inthe air. Moth ing troubles them; they go up at their leisure, they come down at their ease. Their nonchalence almost leads one to believe that there is no such thing as war in the world. They are confi- dent and happy because, to put it shortly, there is no need to be other wise.
 This is what is known as mastery of the air"
 But if you rise on the fire step and prop yourself against the back of the trench, periscope to eye. you may look in vain along the German line for any similar line of sausages. Scarcely ever is a single sausage to be seen. Any airplanes? Perhaps an odd one, we'll back. But anywhere near the British lines? Not often.
 Along about noon one may some times see a sausage rise agitatedly over the German trenches. It goes up, as it were, by jumps, as though it is little afraid of its own bravado. Its rise is slow, uncertain. It fears it is being seen. Listen, and before it is 200 feet up, a familiar roar may be heard somewhere behind the British lines. A glance upward shows that a fleet of aircraft is already on the wing.
 A British balloon has seen it's Ger man brother begin to rise, there has been a prompt message, and a few minutes later a squadron of British aircraft is up and out for a meal.
 The British machines offers no pour parlers. They go straight for it. It rocks, once or twice, and then drops downward, an inarticulate mess. That kind of German observation has ceas- ed for the day, for never another will rise that day What better meal for an honest British plane than German sausage?" asks the squadron com mander as he returns to land.
 Meanwhile the hundreds of British observation balloons ride the air. se- rene and complacent.
