SOLDIERS ATTEMPT 10 OVERPOWER BOY
 STEAL GAR
BAD MEN IN UNIFORM MAKE FAILURE OF DRIVING MACHINE AFTER THEY HAD WRESTEO TT FROM YOUTH FEW MILES FROM DOUGLAS; MAKE ESCAPE

DOUGLAS. Ariz., Aug 12.--V D. forehire car for J. R. shannon. was Schultz, 19 years old. woh drives a roughly treated by two soldiers iasl night who tried to steal the automobile a large Studebaker.
 The soldiers approached him last night at 11:15 o'clock at Shannon's stand on Tenth street.
 They said they belonged 10 a ma chine gun troop engaged in practice on the target range three miles east Of the city, which troop was camned at the range. and wanted to be driy n out there. The young chauffeur went with them.
 Two miles out he noticed they be- came very quiet. Suddenly one of them threw one arm around SchultZ's neck, placing his hand over the chadi- feur's mouth to gage him. Schultz stopped the car. As he did so one foot became caught under the operat- ing footgear in the bottom of the car. The men tied SchultZ's hands behind him. Another car was seen approach ing along Fifteenth street from the east The soldiers tried to move the car 10 one side so they would not he seen, but could not do it. Then one of them stepped out the car on to the ground
 Meanwhile Schultz had slipped his hands loose from the rope that held him at the wrists With his left hand he drew a gun and fired once at the man on the ground When he did this, the fellow in the car grabbed Schultz's left arm and twisted 1t until Schultz had to let loose of his gun. Then the soldier, who also had a gun pressed it against Schultz and ordered him out the car.
 Move quick or I'll blow your brains outi" he said.
 About this time the car which had been coming from the east stopped within a cars length Of the holdup party, but decided that was a poor place to mix in, drove on to the city rapidly. This car was driven by Frank Martin, also a chauffeur, who was taking three women to the city. He reported the holdup 10 the police at once. He explained today that the reason he did not attempt 10 interfere was that he did not have a gun with him and, hearing the shot which had been fired by Schultz, supposed it was fired by the holdup men and that tt would be fool hearty for him to try to help out the boy. Besides. the wo- men in the car ware frightened and insisted that he drive on at once. After being removed from the car Schultz sprinted to town to notify tho police. but of course Martin had ai- ready done this. Schultz looked back and saw the two soldiers trying 10 operate the car They drove the car about 30 -backward-and then gave it I'D after tearing out the switch wires and such things. Then they abandoned the car and escaped. The car was lowed in by the police when they arrived
 It was reported today that the two soldiers who tried to steal the car last night tried to hire four or five other cars before getting Schultz's but the drivers would not take them.

FURNISHING LlCHNoWSkY FOR
REVEALING THE TRUTH

Prince LichnowskY, former Ger
man ambassador to England is
meeting a fate quite in line with the
worlds expectations, for his frank
revelations of the part the German
government played in starting the
war. The Prussian state prosecutor
has asked permission to start Grim
inal proceedings against him, and
the Prussian house Of lords, Of which
Lichnowsky is life member, end
which seems to have authority over
such matters, has granted permits
sion, says the Ardmorite
Even the German press accepts
the princes statement as true. The
Berlin Tageblatt says;

easier now since we have heard
from two opposing sources, ex-For.

Lichnowsky. that England was not
responsible for the war as has been
believed hitherto in wide circles in
Germany,
On the question Of who was guilty
of causing the war, the memoran-

ed States has furnished complete year

addition there was enough extra pro-
iein to supply this portion of the diet
for %. 1880 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat

Pork exports for the SO years amount
