populations. We have a great country over here, and population that would be endlessly troublesome to Germany if she tried to rule us. If Germany comes to the United States she will wish to kill us off as if we were rats. Germany wants to make the world safe for Germany.
 l don't know how you feel about it, but l don't want to be gassed. I don't want any poison-gassing nation left on the face of the earth. I am not even strong in my friendship for mur- derers and pirates. l don't see, today, anything good in Germany, or any thing decent, or anything deserving respect. l can't think of anything so hideous or disgusting that she would not do if she thought it would profit her. She is not fighting as civilized nation fights; she outlawed and dis graced herself. She must be whipped, beaten into the slime she has created, her rulers punished for their filthy crimes and then, if the world of de- cent men sees fit, her population may be put on good behavior for fifty years. At the end of that time, if civilization has taken the place of bar barism now existing in Germany, it may be possible to admit Germany to a place in the councils of the nations once more. Until then, look out for poison-gas! Beat the Hun into his own mud, or he will come over here and depopulate America by his own hell-conceived method.

BATTLE WITH MEXICANS;
 FOUR MEN WOUNDED

Wednesday night, about Il o'clock, Officers LaPrade and Gardner got mixed up with a bunch of drunken Mexicans, at dance hall on the south side side, and when the noise of bat tie had ceased both officers had been winger, and at least two Mexican had been shot. The trouble started when Officer LaPrade attempted to arrest Mexican, and immediately three other Mexicans interfered, and started to assault the officer. Other Mexicans assaulted Officer Gardner, and took away his gun, and one commenced shooting at LaPrade, who had been knocked down by his assailants. LaPrade finally got on his feet and turned loose his artillery, shooting one Mexican twice, once in the leg and another in the hand, and got another in the foot. Two shots were fired at LaPrade, one inflicting slight flesh wound in the shoulder, and Gardner got bullet through his arm close to the shoulder, which seemed of such a serious nature that he was removed to the hospital at Albuquerque.

YOU WON'T CARE?---BUT YOU'LL
 BUY A LIBERTY BOND, WON'T YOU?
(By Ellis Parker Butler, Member oi
 Authors Committee, American

(By Ellis Parker Butler, Member of
 Authors Committee, American
 Defense Society,"
 If the Germans win this war and come to America to punish us, you won't care. You may care little at first. It may make your blood boil to see some shaved-head hog-herder in the kaiser's uniform strike your wife across the face with the flat of his hand, or to hear the shrieks of your daughters as one of the kaiser's grinning under-officers drags Nher away, but you won't care long. I'll tell you why.
 You'll be dead.
 There was a cabled paragraph in the newspapers day or two ago that reported the Russians as feeling bet ter inclined toward the Allies. The reason was that the German troops were poison-gassing the civil popula- ton of the captured towns. It is an easy way to get rid of civil popula- tions, and, now that the Germans have hit upon it, they will probably use it in all cases where they wish to make room for German kultur.
 Poison-gassing the civilian popula- tion is easier and quicker than shoot ing it, as was done in Belgium. It is easier and quicker than "deporting" it, as was done with the Armenians, although the German-bossed Turks found that a satisfactory way to lead whole cities to death. The Germans are especially apt to stick to poison gassing civilians because it is their own happy thought and the highest complication of their own efficient kultur.
 In America, where there are great sections given up to agriculture, it will probably be necessary for the Germans to bayonet and shoot many who are now living on the farms, al- though they may be able to form coun- ty concentration camps and gas all who are gathered in those camps. In the cities the work would be easier. On a given day and at given hour, the German troops would put on their gas masks and thus protected release great quantities of poison gas. The civil population would immediately die. Germany would have free hand for colonization, and America would be thoroughly German from then on. There would be no one here to inter fere with the German plans. "New Germany" would be all German. You would not care-you would be dead.
 If you think Germany is not capable of doing this very thing it is because you have not thought about Germany lately. That cable message says Ger many is doing it in eastern Russia. To Germany we are more troublesome and less civilized than eastern Rus sia. We are too numerous to deport. The easiest way would be to gas us in the bulk.
 No decent nation does such things, but Germany is not in the decent na- tion class. Think minute.
 Germany is murderer. She threw civilized ways aside and began sink ing men, women and children in the bulk long ago. Germany is a pirate, and is using submarines contrary to all agreements and pacts. Germany invented poison gas and used it, when it's use in battle was as forbidden and uncivilized as it's use to kill civilian

Deportation Demurrers.

Arguments were heard at Tomb stone Saturday by Judge A. c. Lock- wood in the Superior court by .attor- neys for both sides in the damage suits filed against the mining com panies, former Sheriff Harry c. Wheeler and other individuals. The main issue raised by the attorneys for the deefndants is that the complaints filed by Attorneys Struckmeyer and Cleary of Phoenix, had not been sign ed, but the name of the attorneys had been printed, and numerous references and law points were produced by coun- sel for the consideration of the court. Following exhaustive arguments, which occupied all the forenoon, At torneys c. T. Mathews, J. M. Ross and c. w. Hawkins of Fl Paso, rep resenting the defendants, while F. c. Struckmeyer represented his interests, Judge Lockwood ordered the matter be submitted on briefs, and will with hold decision until he has looked into the numerous authorities cited by both sides. It is expected it will be at least three weeks before the court will rule on the demurrer, and the out come is waited with interest. t N Cochise Girl Meets Horrible Death.

The rich, soft, young voice with its
Irish brogue died away. The little au-
dience paid the singer the tribute of
silence. She herself was the first to
speak.

Later in the evening the two dinner
guests walked back to the hotel to-

cost Of living In the North, the raising
of strawberries at Kuslak, and the best
way to treat the mosquito nuisance,
but neither OF them referred to the

of it. And that 1t was an unexpected
blow there could be no doubt.
"Glad you've come, Mr.. Elliot. We
ask nothing but fair play. The men
who own the Macdonald group OF
claims have nothing to conceal. I'll
answer that question. I meant to say
two years ago last spring."
His voice was easy and his gaze I'M
wavering as he made the correction,
yet everybody in the room except Sheba
knew he was deliberately lying to
cover the slip. For the admission that
he had inspected the Kamatlah field
just before his dummies had filed upon

picion that the entries were not bona

II was rather an awkward moment.
Sheba unconsciously relieved the stu
alton.
But what about the big moose, Mr.,
Macdonald? What did it do then?"
The Alaskan went back to his story,

About a mile below the falls he met
two men. One of them was Colby Mac
donald. He carried a coil of rope over
one shoulder. The big Alaskan ex-
planned that he had not been able to
get 1t out of his head that perhaps
the climbers who had waved at his
party had been in difficulties. So he
had got rope from the cabin of an
old miner and was on his way back
to the falls.
The three climbed to the falls,
crossed the bridge and reached the top
of the cliff.
"You know the lay of the land down
there, Mr.. Elliot. Wen lower you," de-
cided Macdonald, who took command
as a matter of course.
Gordon presently stood beside Sheba
on the little plateau. She had quite
recovered from the touch of hysteria
that had attacked her courage. you
weren't long," was all she said.
1T met them coming" he answered
as he dropped the loop Of the rope over
her head and arranged it under her
shoulders.
He showed her how to relieve part
of the strain of the rope on her flesh
by using her hands to lift.
"All ready?" Macdonald called from
above.
"All ready" Elliot answered. To
Sheba he said, "Hold tight"
The girl was swung from the ledge
and rose jerkily in the air. She
laughed gayly down at her friend be-
low.

Gordon followed her couple of min
utes later. She was waiting to give
him hand over the edge Of the cliff,

himself from the rope. "You are fell

they devoured selected glimpses Of his
wild, turbulent career. She saw him
with other eyes than Elliot's. The gov
eminent official admired him tremen'
dously. Macdonald was an empire
builder. He blazed trails for others
to follow in safety. But Gordon could
guess how callously his path was
strewn with brutality, with the effects
OF an ethical color-blindness largely

Diane, satisfied that Macdonald had

Il want you to sing for us, dear, II
you will"
Sheba accompanied herself. The
voice of the girl had no unusual range,
but 1t was singularly sweet and full of
the poignant feeling that expresses
the haunting pathos of her race.
It's well know we, Sheve Cross,
Ye weary stony hill.
An I'm tired, OCH I'm tired to be
looking on We still.
For here live the near side

An all your heights and hollows are
between US, so they are.
Och anee!
Gordon, as he listened, felt the
strange hunger Of that homesick cry
steal through his blood. He saw his
own emotions reflected in the face Of
the Scotch Canadian, who was watch
ing with a tense interest the slim,
young figure at the piano, the girl
whose eyes were soft and dewy with
the mysticism of her people, were still
luminous with the poetry of the child
in spite Of the years that heralded her
a woman.
Elliot intercepted the triumphant
sweep of DANES glance from Macdon-
aid to her husband. In flash 1t lit
up for him the words he had heard on
the hotel porch. Diane, an lnveterate
matchmaker, intended her cousin to
marry Colby Macdonald. No doubt she
thought she was doing fine thing for
the girl. He was millionaire, the
biggest figure In the Northwest. His
iron will ran the town and district
as though the people were chattels of
his. Back of him were some of the
biggest financial interests In the United
States.
But the gorge Of Elliot rose. The
man, after all, was lawbreaker,
menace to civilization. He was a sur
vivor, by reason of his strength, from
the primitive wolf-pack. The very
look of his hard, gray eyes was domi-
nant and masterful. He would win,
no matter how. II came to G0rdon's
rebel heart that If Macdonald wanted
this lovely Irish giri--and the young
man never doubted that the Scotsman
would want her--he would reach out
and gather In Sheba just as If she
were coal mine or placer prospect.
All this surged through the mind of
The young man while the singer was
