CROWN PRINCE is REMOVED7
London Hears Hun Chiefs Threatened
to Quit

London, Aug. 21.-Has Frederick
William, crown prince of Prussia, the
high jinx' Of the German army, been
shelved at last? This Is only ques-
ton, hint; but it is based upon sig
nificant symptoms and rumors. Fact
is that the kaiser's eldest son has not
been mentioned in Berlin dispatches
for some days, not even in connection
with the Berlin official reports which
used to specify Army Group of the
German Crown Prince" It may be a
coincidence. Rumor has it, however,
that Hindenburg and Ludendorff is
sued virtual ultimatum to the kaiser
after the crown princes tasco at the
Marne, to the effect: EITHER he goes
or we go!"

DEMAND FOR HORSE
 MEAT BOOSTS PRICE
(New York Tribune)


 It was just a dream. after all-that notion that in such homely dishes as prime ribs Dobbin, potatoes au perch eron, might finally be found a solution of the climbing cost of living.
 Dispatches from Washington, where some officials eye or other is overlook ing almost everything everywhere, re- ported a general rise in the price of horse meat hip, bone and thigh, from the old average of 9 cents a pound to a new one of 15 cents.
 In New York City, with one abattoir and nine retail shops co-ordinating to extract the ultimate in service out of a mans good friend, it is even so. The Star Horse Meat company, which prac- tically controls the trade here, has marked horse tenderloin up to "A cents pound. Sirloins and round steaks are now 15 cents, bottom round and roast the same, and frankfurters bring 16 cents.
 Even at these prices the company, which has made changes in manage ment preliminary to a campaign of expansion, believes the general public can be educated into a taste for horse meat, and will support within the next few months a chain of stores, running through every section of the city.
 Just now the trade is mostly Italian, although there are hundreds of Ger man, French and Belgian families people who in their own countries grew out of any fancy notions regarding hor- flesh as food-among the con- sumers.
 The big trouble has been at the source of supply. In Africa, notably certain breeds of horses are raised foI slaughter, but in America, the pack CTS" have to depend, as yet, on scouts
 How the scouts operate is a trade secret. The horse slated for the table horses that are able to be up and about | in these times are expensiXe articles.

AUTOS WRECKED BUT
 ALL OCCUPANTS ARE
 U|l|NJURED IN CRASH

MESA, June 7.-An accident which smashed two autos, and yet in some marvellous way, failed to injure any of the occupants, occurred one mile west of Mesa on the Mesa Tempe highway at shortly before F o'clock, Wednes- day night.
 The II o'clock stage out of Phoenix, a Stakeholder driven by Botkin, and a Mitchell driven b. Morgan Brimhall, a youth, the son of c. M. Brimhall of Mesa, collided where the curb on either side narrowed the roadway. Both cars were well filled with people, and while the collision tore off the front wheels, bent axles and demolished running boards and lenders, no one was hurt.
 The machines did not hit full head on, which perhaps accounts for the for tunate condition in which the jared up occupants found themselves. The glare of the lights is considered as largely responsible for the collision.

MULE IS NOT HEROIC;
 PREFERS SAFE PLACE
(Pittsburgh Gazette -Times)

(PlttSDurgh GaZette-T TlmeS)
 In many letters written from over there the writers speak of having seen birds nestling in abandoned guns spy ing out convenient places to build.
 The fact of the matter is that the animal world doesn't know what war means, much less what it is all about; therefore, when the firing ceases, and the gases clear away, they go right along fulfilling their appointed mission.
 Possibly they regard battle much as they do an electrical storm, and more or less patiently wait for it to blow over.
 Very few animals, if any, have any conception of battle other than it's big noise, to which they soon become so well used that they do not hesitate to go wherever their riders or drivers direct them.
 The mule, however often becomes slittish when shells and bullets gather around it uncomfortably close, and re- fuses to work. And when the mule re- fuses to work, and concludes to run amuck, you might as well give it a short vacation.
 While the horse is a noble animal. and enjoys being decked out in full l pAuOply fol war, anu ueHS1lS III ca vorting around as if to show off it's figure and it's trappings.
 It wasn't often that battery teams became demoralized, or cavalry horses refused to go ahead when urged to do so
 In the War of the Rebellion mules were used almost exclusively in the quartermaster and commissary depart ments. Ammunition trains did not often venture so near the line of con- flict as to render the mule undepend- | able
 While the mule did not object to car rying a mountain battery, although commonly called a '..Jackass battery it did object to having the gun fired from its back, which the horse didn', seem to mind.
 But birds, even the wary crow, didn', seem to have the least idea as to what was going on, or whether it would be safe to fly across the field or light or an inviting tree.
 After the battle of Kenesaw Noun. tain many of us noted the numbers oi wild birds seemingly hunting for theil nests, which had no doubt been de stroyed- or at least disturbed.

ANOTHER HEARING
 OF CASE ID START

For the third time, the suit for malicious prosecution brought by Miss Rebecca Horne against MT. and Mrs. II. S. Griswold will go to trial in the superior court. Miss Horne, who asks for $20,O0O damages, won her first case, being awarded S4,125 by a jury in Judge Stanfords court. Ihe supreme , court reversed the lower court, finding the instructions faulty. The second trial was before Judge Pattee and the tury's judgment was for S3,250 for Miss Horne. In awarding a new trial yesterday, Judge Pattee stated that he granted the defendants motion on the sole ground that the court did not state hypo- thetically to the jury what fact would or would not constitute probable cause.
 In the instructions the court gave a general definition of probable cause and left it 10 the jury to determine whether or not applying that defini- tion, probable cause or want of prob able cause was shown by the evil dence.
 Miss Horne was arrested for the theft of jewels on complaint of Mr. and Mrs. Griswold and the case against her was dismissed in the justice court. The damage action followed.
