LONDON, June 25.-Italian officials
here today expressed the belief that the
mention Of $4,000 prisoners" contained
in the wireless message TO the Italian
possibly was an error.
They said the dispatch probably
should read 1000 to 5000 inasmuch as
last nights press messages from the
front and the Italian War Onlce state
ment did not mention more than 5000
prisoners.

GERMAN GOVERNMENT HID
THEIR LANDSCHRAFT system
FROM AMERICAN FARMERS

Rome, April 10.-( Correspondence
of The Associated Press. THAT the
imperial German government prevent
ed American farmers from learning
about and profting from the German
plan Of agricultural cooperation has
just been revealed here in connection
with the charge that the Germans
sought even after the war had been
.sn progress three years tc-iobtain on
troll of the International Institute of
Agriculture at Rome.
The effort to hide the workings of
the Landschraft system, which David
Lubsn, United States delegate to the
Institute, has declared to be the foun-
dation of German success both in war
and peace, is described in the reports
of the American commission which in
1913 visited all the countries of Eu-
rope fer the purpose of obtaining in
formation looking to the establish
ment Of the rural credit system and
9th aids to the farmer.
The entire representation of the Wis
itors, from all the countries of the
world, consisted of 100 members,
about half Of whom came from the
United States and Canada. The COM
mission was well received in Italy,
Austria and other countries, and APP
parently well received in Germany,
but recent events have explained the
backwardness of the Germans in MAX
ing clear explanations to questions
asked.
The commission was met by DIR. Nj
kola Kadmanns, representing the Ger
man government. He had previously
been the German imperial commits
sioner of agriculture to the United
States. It is now claimed he had spe-
cific orders to prevent the Americans,
in particular, from getting the farm
information they were so eagerly
seeking.
The effort of DIR. Humans to pre-
vent the Americans from obtaining in
formation was at the time considered
merely a hostile attitude of a personal
nature. But considered in the light of
more recent actions, it is now regard
ed here as part of the operation of the
German system.

SERBIA REMAINS FAITHFUL
DESPITE GERMAN INTRIGUE
Austria Hungary Recently Has Intensified Her In
trigues and Calumnies Against the Serbs

Corfu, May Serbia remains
faithful to the cause of the Entente
allies despite German intrigue and an
offer of the German government to
conclude peace, declared Premier
Pashitch in declaration of Serbia's
foreign policy read at the opening
here of the Serbian parliament.
, More than a year ago, Mr.. Pashitch
said, Germany was beginning to see
the impossibility of defeating her en-
emies by military force alone, and to
see that she must have recourse to
other means. She then decided to
make the most energetic use of clan
destine channels to disorganize as
speedily as possible the power and co.
hesion of her enemy. She carried on
intrigues, employing different meth
DDS according to the countries for
which she intended them.
"All these intrigues were clothed
in fine language and expressed human
itarian ideals by means of which the
enemy was spreading monarchial
ideas in republics and republican
ideas in monarchies, recommending in
democratic countries military re-
gime and in autocracies democratic,
or anarchistic ideas. All
this had only one object, to provoke
disorders and discord between
the allies.
"In all allied countries the effect of
these secret Vaccinations have been
felt, but nowhere have they succeeded
so well as in Russia Judging from
effects, it is impossible to deny that
the Russian revolution has been faint
ed by German influence and has only
been useful, up to the present, to Ger
many.
"Austria-Hungary recently has in
tensified her intrigue and calumnies
against the Serbian people, and
against King Peter and the Serbian
government. She has but one object,
to shake the faith of the allies in Ser

'sThe appearance of America in the
theatre of war has filed up the gap
caused. by the Russian withdrawal,
and the armed forces of our allies are
more considerable than those Of the
enemy as regards both men and ma
terial. Their organization has been
improved and there is complete agree
ment on all questions. The Serbian
people can therefore be certain that
its sacrifice will not be in vain and
that its ideals will be realized if it
continues to give in the future tokens
of its military and civic virtues and
if it remains safe, as hitherto, from
intrigues which aim at destroying it's
concord and unity in the defense Of the
interests of our people"

GREEKS CELEBRATE THEIR EASTER

The unique Greek Easter celebra-
ton commenced last night, when a
large procession marched through the
streets, waving long, white, lighted
candles and carrying the sepulchre,
IN which is supposed to be the body Of
Jesus Christ. This service symbolizes
the burial of Jesus, after having been
taken down from the cross early in
the morning and wrapped in white
sheet. During this procession there is
chanting. following an ancient custom.
At midnight tonight the resurrec-
ton is celebrated by services at the
church, beginning about ten o'clock.
At this time the people salute one an
other by saying, "He is risen," and
Truly He is risen," in commemora-

All that is necessary, the Red Cross
here said, to make this linen fit for
use, is to wash and sterilize it, and no
finer grade exists than that used as
a foundation for such tracings.
Mr.. Bulpin wrote to every architect
and civil engineer in the city and sug-
gested that they go over their offices
and turn in any old tracings to be sal
vaged. The Red Cross believes that
much valuable linen will thus be made
available.
The same plan, applied in other cit
les, it was pointed out, would probably
bring to the Red Cross thousands of
yards of fine gauze now worse than
useless, as it merely crowds files or
moulds on shelves.

Los Angeles, April 28,-(Corre-

ending their career in that capacity
here and are entering a new lease of
life as surgical dressings. Somebody
discovered, a few days ago, that there
was scarcity of linen gauze, and
happened to mention the fact to
Thomas B. Bulpin, chief engineer of
the Los Angeles railways. Mr.. Bull
pin and his deputies checked over the
tracings in their office, and found more
than sixty pounds of tracings ON linen,
which later when washed to eliminate
starch and ink yielded 648 square
yards of the finest linen.

A. E. /. o. U.
(By Kenneth L. Roberts)

Over four and a quarter centuries
ago Frederick III, Holy Roman EN-
peror and fifth Duke of Austria, orig
mated the phrase "Austriae Est I'm
perare Orb Universe" or ut is Aus
tria's destiny to rule the entire world"
and adopted the initials Of the Latin
words as his favorite device. Suisse
quent rulers of Austria have continued
to have the initials A. E. I. O. u. en-
graved on their toilet articles, note
paper, and cigarette cases in token of
the high estate to which Austria some
day expects to rise. If Frederick Ill
had been a good English scholar how
ever, and had been given the oppor-
tunity to observe the gay and care
free manner in which Germany is pre-
pairing to swallow the dual monarchy,
he would have interpreted the letters
A. Il. I. o. U. by the words Austria
Ends in Overwhelming Upset, and
eliminated all the nonsense about i'm

Mrs. Billingsley is making the race for the office upon her record as Superintendent of the Schools of Greenlee county, subject to the demo cratic primaries, and courts the most careful investigation Of all of her pub lie acts as such.
 That she is qualified for the posi-. tion none will question. Though a lady this has not deterred her from visiting all the schools and keeping in close touch with the educational in terests of the county. Her admins tration has been faithful and prog ressive, and her efforts have been to place the schools of the county upon the highest plain.
 She submits her name to the Demo cratic voters of the county, and re- spectfully asks the endorsement of the party at the coming primaries.

In his report Chairman Cooper thus expresses his appreciation of the generous response of the people to this call for funds: "The response made by the people of Clifton to the call of the Red Cross for funds to enable that organization to continue it's wonderful work of mercy has been extremely gratifying, and Clifton should feel proud of the spirit of lib- erality that it's citizens and inhabi- tants have displayed in this drive. It is likely that few more delayed sub scrptions may yet be received, but the results so far reported give the town of Clifton the honor of having almost trebled its quota"
 County Three Times Over.
 Individual figures are not available from Morenci and Metcalf, though it is reported that each of those treb. led their quotas. The whole amounts to more than three times the county's quota. Greenlee was assessed $10,000 in this drive, and she just made 1t over $30,000 to be safe. Duncan re- ported as follows:

If you want your business to prosper the best means of getting in touch with the buying public is to plant an ad in the paper which the people read
