P~etrOgrad, Dec. 29.-(Correspond-
ence Of The Associated Press.)-The
Alsace-Lorrajne situation from q ma
tive's point Of view is laid before the
Russian public in an article publish
ed here by the Alsace delegate,
George Veil.
81 myself am q walkings example of
our peoples attitude" he says. IT am
a social democrat and therefore in
principle Am opposed to war.
Before the war 1 was one OF the
many Alsace-Lorraine politicians who
were content to limit u national pro-
gram to an autonomy within the
boundaries of the German empire.
From this it must not he gathered
that we had forgotten that in 1871
our right as a nation to self-de1nition
had been violated by Bismarck. No
we were willing to limit our demands
for the sake Of peace. that was all. We
knew that we could be reunited to
France ONLY at the Drice Of war and
we wished to avoid that"
He further explains the reason why
the people Of Alsace-Lorraine do not
wish to and cannst become Germans.
"ouranaticna1 culture is French. not
German" he says. 'The Germans
state that by descent, in language and
in history we are Germans. This.
however, is untrue, or only partly
true. tis
Admitted that the great majority
Of our population is, a mixture of Ger-
man and Celtic races. as is also the
case of a good part of the population
Of north and west France; admitted
also. that a considerable part of the
population speaks in the Alsac,an d'a-
lect. this is a branch of the German
language. Nevertheless, our history
has removed us far from the German
root and has made US French.
During the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries we were utterly sep
arated from Germany: and took no
part in the formation Of the new Ger
many which was forming under the
banner Of the Prussian. The new Ger
many became a stranger to us, while
France drew are and reared to
us.
THE great French revolution n--l-
~ decided u national character. The
entire population of Alsace-Lorraine
was caught by the revolutionary
movement. The Marseilleise was writ
ten in strassburg and sung for the
first time by Rouge-de-Lille at the
house Of the mayor Of Strassburg."

MOHAVE COUNTY PEOPLE
 URGED TO JOIN RED CROSS

The following telegram was receiv- ed this week by c. M. Leonard, chair man of Red Cross membership drive for Mohave county.
 Red Cross Christmas Roll Call Am erican Red Cross, Mohave County Chapter, kingman, Ariz.
 For your information we quote tel egram addressed to MT. Marshall Hale Picific division.
 1 am sailing tonight for Europe at the request of the President to rep resent the American Red Cross and as l leave 1 have a supreme confidence that the spirit of mercy and human sympathy which the people of the world have ascribed to the American people will again shine forth when the world one more learns of their devo- tion to the Red Cross ideal
 Enrolment in the Red Cross by ev- cry man, woman and child will mean more to the world today than ever be- fore. Millions of pleading wistful faces are turned toward us today and by answering that mute appeal by un- iversal enrolment in the Red Cross can we show our sympathy and our vote for kindler, gentler world in the days to come.
 Signed, Henry P. Davidson.
 The foregoing telegram evidences the great work which Chairman Day. idson of the American Red Cross feels is yet to be performed by the Red Cross. It also emphasizes the nec- essity of a one hundred per cent en- rollment in your chapter, regardless of any obstacles which may appear to retard your progress.
 Enrolment reports from your chap ter indicate a falling off over last years enrolment in Pacific division. Arizona is tagging behind in enroll ment. I am sure you will take ad- vantage of the few days left and double your energy for a conclusion in keeping with the reputation of your chapter.
 Only two days remain in which to answer this appeal. If Mohave Coun- ty expects to reach its quota, mighty efforts will have to be made. While very few persons who have been ask ed to join have refused, it is possible some have been overlooked. To such persons the local committee addresses an urgent appeal to come in to head quarters and sign or send dollar by mail.

EXECUTE SUPPOSED
 BANDITS AT DOUGLAS

Dr. Enrique de Huerta, of Douglas, Arizona, was taken iron. his home in that city few nights ago and is said to have been hanged to a telegraph pole in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico. Three other Mexicans were executed at the same time. About ten days ago messengers carrying $125,OOO from the collector of customs at .Agua Prieta were waylaid and murdered be- tween that place and another Mexican town where the funds were to be de- posted. A search was made for the murderers and it is said that a large part of the loot was found in the pos session of Dr. Huerta and in his back yard. It is supposed that the doctor was abducted and taken across the border and summarily executed. The purder of the messengers was most foul one and if he was guilty of the crime he got only what was coming to him. His widow has taken the matter up with the governor and the state department and a thorough in vestigation of the matter will be had.

OLD TIME ARIZONA
 JUDGE DIED IN LA.

Judge Charles Silent, died at his home in Los Angeles last Saturday, at an advanced age. Judge Silent pre- sided over this district up to 1880, having been appointed one of the fed eral judges for the then territory of Arizona by Pres. Hayes. During his judicial career he heard and decided many mining cases. The famous Peck case was one of the causes tried before him, as we'll as that of the McCracken. Some years after leaving the bench he removed to Los Angeles, where he resided until his death. Judge Silent was an excellent man on and off the bench and had host of friends among the old timers of this part of Ari- Zona.

PLENTY OF POTASH
(By United Press.)


San Francisco, Nov. 2.-Germans
who said the United States entered
the war to grab Germany's potash
deposits didn't know much about the
natural resources of this country
4 new $1,000,000 unit Of potash
plant on Searles Lake, in Southern
California, was due to start opera
ton today. It will bring the daily
production of one company operat-
ing on this lake up to 140 tons day:
The United States before the war used
only 100000 tons Of potash a year,
most of which was imported. Be-
cause of cheaper foreign labor it had
never been worth while to develop
American potash or nitrate deposits
on a large scale.
"Grabbing Germans potash de-
posits" with an army and navy Is
costing Uncle Sam more than $780,
100000 a day With half a days
expenditures he could ,-- develop
enough potash deposits 10 supply the
country for a century,
Engineers estimate that Searies
Lake alone will supply normal Amer
lean nitrate needs for nearly CEN
tury.
