WAR SUMMARY.

Uncertainty still beclouds the status
Of the Russo.German peace negotiations
Both sides have declared that certain
proposals of the other side did not meet
with their approval. Russia has said
that the German terms concerning occu-
pied territories could not be accepted,
and German Chancellor Won Hertling
announces that the central powers can
not move the conference to Stockholm,
rs Russia has suggested.
The Russian position coupled with
reports that the delegates of the cen
trail powers, and even of Germany, were
divided as to the question of anneXa
tions, appears the stronger one, but
there is no indication that Germany will
recede, although it has been rumored
that the leading German and Austrian
emissaries had returned to Brest Litovsl

THE BIG MILITARY PARADE.

The deferred parade and re. view of the 35th Infantry, about two thousand men, under con- mand of Colonel Frier, last Thursday afternoon, was a great success in every way, and will be pleasantly remembered long time by our people, thousands of whom cheered our brave boys as they marched through the streets, headed by the famous 35th Infantry band.
 Had the day been selected by Colonel Frier himself, it could not have been finer.
 The column started from Camp Stephen D. Little, promptly at three o'clock, marched south on Grand avenue to the Banks bridge, which was crossed to Morley avenue, following that thoroughfare to Park street, thence to Grand avenue, and down that street to Camp Little.
 At the Town Hall, Colonel Frier and his aide dismounted and took station in the review ing stand, and reviewed the finest body of soldiers ever seen in Nogales, the fighting 35th, soon to take their position on the firing line "Over there."
 In the reviewing stand, be- sides Colonel James Frier were Mayor James A. Harrison, ex- Mayor H. M. Clagett, U. s. Col lector of Customs c. L.. Hardy, United States Consul B. w. Lawton. Superior Judge w. A. O'Connor, Colonel Allen T. Bird, chairman of the arrangement committee; J. B. Bristol, secre- tary of the Chamber of Con- merce, and Councilman Wirt G. Bowman.
 All along the line of march, Uncle Sam's fighters, who pre- sented a splendid appearance, were applauded.
 When they leave Nogales they'll take our best wishes with them.
