From Three to Eight Submarines
Concerned in Attack.
Great 1920 Ton Transport Loses
After Long Battle Off the
North Irish Coast.

London.-The great White Star liner
Justicia was sunk off the west coast OF
Ireland after desperate battle be-
tween a group of German submarines
and a number of destroyers, which
continued for 1S hours until the big
ship went down.
At least ten torpedoes were fred, Of
which three hit the ship. Two were
exploded by being struck with shells
fired from the liner. The others miss
ed. the mark altogether. From late
Friday night, when the first torpedo
lit the Justicia, until 10 o'clock Sat
urday morning escorting destroyers
circled the liner, firing depth charges,
searching the ocean for the concealed
enemy. Guns on the liner compelled
the U boats to submerge as soon as
they came to the surface.
At one time during the fight one Of
the gunners aboard the JuSticia sue
ceeded in exploding speeding torpedo
with a well placed shot, and at anoth-'
or time an accurate shot from one of
The big liners guns diverted the flight
of Il torpedo and saved the ship from
leing struck by the German missile.
The estimates of the number Of sub
marines in the attacking fotilla vary
from six to eight. They clung to their
prey, refusing to be driven off by the
repeated dashes of destroyers, which
steamed at top speed, crossing and re-
crossing the area around the stricken
ship. The destroyers used their guns
constantly when they sighted the enc
ny periscopes and dropped depth
bombs wherever they thought the raid-
ers were lurking beneath the surface.
Time and again the submarines
emerged, only to be forced by the fire
Of the ships defensive guns and the
swift approach of the >destroyerS to
submerge before discharging their tor
pedOeS.

men who said they came here
to look for work. Incidentally
they had in their possession a
map of Mexico, a rough draw
ing of roads connecting with
Nogales, Naco, Cananea, and
other points, and lists of names
of officials and Germans in the
City of Mexico. They gave their
names as Sam Aillo and Mike
Lombardo and claim to be
Swiss. They were fairly well
supplied with money and one
had new repeating rifle. Both
were turned over to Federal
Agent Northrup who is holding
them in the county Jail for in

Rev. Cyclone" Higgins.

Cyclone Higgins, D. D." is
he strangest name ever given

Higgins, D. D., is the strangest

You will scarcely believe your
eyes when you see Francis x

is wholly different from any
thing else he has ever done.
In Cyclone Higgins, D. D., u
Mr.. Bushman plays the part OF
travelling preacher parson
who fights for the Lord with
his fists as well as his brains.
He's a young cyclone when he
gets into action-hence the

The New School Building.

The contractors Lowell 4
Loun, are pushing work on the
new school building with all
speed, and it is anticipated that
construction will be advanced
sufficiently so school may be-
gin next Monday, September,
16. At present the building
will be made habitable, solely,
with walls, roof, doors and win
dowS. 1t will be finished in the
spring and summer of next
year, when vacation time is on.
The new structure is a hand
some one-story edifice of brick
with stone trimmings, of the
mission style of architecture.
1t is built around three sides Of
q wide court, with a pOrtico in
side. In each wing are three
large schoolrooms with the
same number in the building
connecting the wings. The
schoolrooms all open into the
porticos, and windows are the
only openings in the outside
walls.
In a basement below are
toilets, dressing rooms, heating
apparatus and bins for coal.
The new structure will be
very handsome when completed,
and an ornament to the city. It's
commanding position, on a low
hill overlooking the town, at
tracts attention of the visitor

DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR
Tea Given in Honor of Younger
Officers of the 18th
Infantry.

The beautiful home of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles L. Fowler,
TAG Grand avenue, was the
scene yesterday afternoon from
4 to 6 of a most delightful So
cial function. Mrs. Fowler and
her two daughters, Mrs. Ed
Rose and Mrs. J. E. Audrey,
gave tea in honor of the
younger officers of the 18th In
fantry, who have but recently
come to Nogales to take station
During the time the 18th was
stationed at Honolulu Mrs. Au-
drey's husband, Major J. E.
Audrey, was an officer in that
regiment and the affair yester-
day afternoon was rather in the
nature of an introduction of the
officers to the young ladies of
this city, where the regiment
will doubtless be stationed for
a considerable time.
Among those present whose
names The Oasis secured were:
Misses Mary Duffy, Lupe
O'Neill, Florence Edwards, Do
lores Chenoweth, Carmen

Negales Girls Off to School.

Most of the young ladies who
have recently graduated from
the splendid Nogales high
school ;lc:ve gone or are prepar-
ing to go to colleges and univer-
sites to take up the higher
studies. Miss Alexia Doherty
has gone to Los Angeles to en-
ter the University of Southern
California, Miss Martha Chat
ham left yesterday afternoon
for the Tempe Normal to finish
her course, Miss Florence Ed
wards will leave today for Tue
son to enter the State Universe
ty, Miss Grace Chatham will
leave Friday to enter the same
institution, Miss Dorothy Tit
comb will depart the same day
for Boston to enter Wellesley
and Mrs. Jewel Smith Looney
will shortly leave for San Anto-
Mo where she will enter college.
In this connection it might
be stated, though there is a
CLEAN of pathos in the remem-
brance, that many of the young
men of Nogales whose ambition
was to take up the higher
branches, were, instead, called
to take up arms to fight to a
finish a cruel war started at
the instance Of a cruel system
of plutocratic government.

PROCLAMATION.
Of Major General w. A. HOl-
brook, Commanding Southern
Department, to the Mexican
Citizens residing in the states
of New Mexico, Arizona, Ok
lahOma, and Texas.

For several days German
propagandists have been busy
circulating rumors among tn
Mexican population about the
registration. These rumors are
baseless, malicious and untrue
AS a result some of them are
quitting unusually profitable
employment, sacrificing thei.
property and other interests
and leaving with their families
for Mexico.
This proclamation is issued
for the purpose of enabling all
Mexicans to clearly understand
the policy of the United States
Government in this matter.
The Selective CONSUMPTION
Law requires the registration
of all male residents on Septem-
Der IL, 1918, between the ages
of eighteen and twenty-one and
thirty-one and fortyf-ive. Reg
istration, however, is not con-
scription.
Rumors that Mexican citi-
zens will be drafted are false.
This applies likewise to aliens
of all other countries. Do not
sacrifice your interests because
of false German propaganda.
Registration is required but
that means protection for the
aliens from the draft. All that
is necessary for a Mexican cit
liens to do to secure exemption
is to establish his Mexican citi-
zenship. Officials, attorneys
and other patriotic citizens will
assist those Mexicans who do
not understand our language to
prepare Questionaires in which
their claim for exemption will
be properly set out.
In order to properly estab-
fish your Mexican citizenship,
those who can do so should have
with them their birth certifi-
Gates. In the event that this
certificate is not at hand, it is
suggested that you secure affi-
davits from two reliable wit
nesses concerning your birth
place or such other evidence as
is available. Citizenship can al
so be established by the fact
that you have been properly
matriculated at your nearest
Mexican consulate.
Labor at this time is being
paid unheard-of prices. En-
ployment is plentiful. Business
conditions are good and the
country is prosperous. Those
who remain in addition to ben
citing themselves will be edo
ing their bit" toward winning
the war against autocracy. 1t
is the desire of the Government
to continue to extend to Mexi-
cans all the rights and liberties
which heretofore influenced
them to come within our Dor
ders.
Do not be deceived by these
or other false rumors which
will be circulated by German
propaganda. Consult your con-
suls also prominent American
citizens of Mexican descent
when doubts arise. Consult
YOUR own interests and those OF
YOUR families and stick to your
employment and hold on to your
property and business.

WISCONSIN SOLDIERS ARE
CALLED "LES TERRIBLES''

LES TerribleS," the terrible fighters,
is the name given by the French to the
32nd division which includes Wisconsin
regiments and which has recently dis
tinguished itself with Gen. Mangin' s
army north of scissors.
'"The performance of this division
north of scissors cinches its title of be-
ing one of the American crack divis-
IONS writes Edwin T.. James, war cor
respondent with the American army in
France, to the New York Times. I'm
the army of Gen. de Goutte, fighting
north of the Marine in July, it won the
distinction of breaking the German hold
on the Bots Meuniere after six vain at
tacks, and it was these soldiers who
took CiergeS.
1.-The village changed hands nine
times ( in the bitter contest between
these boys from Michigan and Wiscon-
sin and the German Jaegers and Prus-
Sian Guards. Prior to this fighting,
the division had given good account
of itself in Alsace while holding part of
the line i'm front of Belfort.
North of scissors the 32nd division
fought four days in a bitter contest
along the railroad running just west of
Juvigny and Chavvigny, after which
the division broke through to the Sois-
son s-St. Quentin highway, taking
Terny Sorny.
''The 32nd division thus won a splen-
did name for bravery and initiative.
This has been recognized by the French
title, Les Terribles, which has been
bestowed upon it. No unit in our army
presents men of better physique.
