FREIGHT TROUBLES
 MT COTTON SALES

MESA, Jan. 13.-Farmers in the Salt River valley have been greatly perplexed of late for the reason that buyers have not been in the market for the much to be desired long staple. The following statement is made by a valley buyer in response to request for the reason why no cotton is being bought in the immediate present:
 One of the eastern papers has this to say in regard to the slow movement of cotton from the south and west: Reports as to transportation condi- ttons vary in different brokerage houses. Some firms say they are find ing it almost impossible to get cotton shipped out of the south, except from the ports for New England, while oth- CTS say they are getting bills of lading and know the cotton is actually being started on it's journey. There is no doubt but that some mills have had to buy new cotton to take the place of that delayed in transit, and this has led to an active demand for spot cot ton
 Arizona growers must remember that their cotton has to be shipped further than almost any other cotton produced in the United States. It is taking from sixty to ninety days for valley cotton to reach the mills, and at this time the mills do not feel that they can afford to wait for this cot ton and are buying wherever pos sible, spot cotton-viz, cotton already delivered to the east. On the other hand the buyers do not care to tie up Immense sums of money where it has to lay idle awaiting the long delay of shipment. All parties interested may look for speedy relief now that the government has taken over the rail- roads, and deliveries should be made much more quickly.
 'The market for Arizona staples is not weak, but there is only one thing now to do and that is for Arizona growers to wait patiently for the mills 70 come into the market and make of- Gers for cotton.'
 Remarking upon the above, there is encouragement to the grower, to be informed that the long staple cotton is not being refused just now, because of any low market, but simply mat ter of physical inability to move it rapidly enough to justify the mills in making offers that will place the local buyers actively in the market again.

GERMANY MAKES
 NO MOYE ID AID
 AUSTR0.H HUNGARY
Washington Expects Rath- CT New Offensive
 by Huns in France

. Washington, June 25.-News from Italy today, while confirming the great victory won by the Italians in hurling the Austrian army across the Piave, threw little additional light up- on the extent of the disaster to the enemy.
 Until figures are available, show ing more fully the loss in men and
 material, officials here hesitated -ts form opinion as to the probable effect the defeat will have on the whole mill itary situation.
 On the face of latest news from the Italian front, it appeared to many ob- servers that the Austrian army as an offensive weapon is not to be serious ly considered for months. What Ger many plans to do or will be able to do to aid her ally is another matter. As yet there is no sign of a great movement of German troops to the Italian frontier.
 Unless such a movement is under taken immediately, officers here are convinced it will mean Germany in- tends to seek to save the situation by attempting at once to complete her offensive projects in France.

GERMAN PIRATE
 SHIP REPORTED
 IN ". INDIES Heavily Armed, Fast Yes sel Attacks Two Ameri- can Merchant Ships.
MAY BE ANOTHER SHIP OF U-BOATS
Some Shippers who Sight Vessel,
 Said to Have Sunk Big English man, Think She is Captured Fruit Steamer.

Norfolk, Va., June 25-Reports brought here are said to reveal the presence in West Indian waters of a , German raider. The craft is heavily kncts.
 The raider first made her appear ance 200 miles east of Hamilton, Ber- muda, where she is reported to have sunk a large British steamship. She also shelled two American merchant ships but they managed to escape Numerous reports have reached here during the last 24 hours from in- coming shippers from South America West Indian and Central American ports regarding the craft.
 The ship is described as of the crui- ser type, showing a clean pair of heels when any attempt to get up close is made. The fact that no eff of the ships which signalled her leads to belief here that she is the mother ship of submarines recently operating off this coast, and that her armament is only for defense.
 The raider was described by ship captains as about 270 feet long with speed of from Is to 20 knots an hour. Some who sighted her ex- pressed the belief she was a former fruit steamer plying between the United States. and Central America which had been captured and armed by u-boat off the coast. It also was said that both the British and Amer- can navies have been notified of the raider, and that steps are being taken to protect shipping.

as the power which planned and de- sired the war, with France abetting and England's attitude strengthening the Russian desire for conflict, Dr. von Kuehlmann again declared that Germany had not entertained any be- lief that this war could lead even to the domination of Europe and much less the world.
 In introducing his statement of the German war aims, the foreign secre- tary said:
 "I consider it necessary to say quite simply, and in a way easv for all to understand, what our positive desires are."
 "We wish for the German people and our allies free, strong( indepen- dent existence within the boundaries drawn for us by history. We desire overseas possessions corresponding to our greatnes and wealth, the freedom of the sea, carrying our trade to all parts of the world.
 "These, in brief" added the foreign secretary, "are our roughly sketched aims, the realization of which is abso- lutely and necessary for Germany"
 Shies at Belgian Restoration. Regarding Belgium, the foreign secretary said:
 "We must decline to make, as it were, prior concession by giving a statement on the Belgian question which would bind us without in the least binding the enemy" With reference to the peace ques- tion, Dr. von Kueh1mann quotes from former Premier Asquith's speech of May 16 in which he said that the British government would not turn a deaf ear to a peace proposal if it was not couched in ambiguous terms.
 "We likewise can make the same declaration" added the foreign secre- tary, "knowing it to be also cur pol icy"
 As to Poland, Dr. won Kuehlmann said that not only was the Polish question inherently difficult, but the almost inseparable competitor be- tween Austria-Hungary and Germany had so far prevented the attainment of definite result.
 "I believe, however" said the for eign secretary, "that before there are general peace negotiations in Europe. the zealous forts of the statesmen concerned will result in their finding

Won Kuehlmann's Address.

Amsterdam, June 25.-Germany' war aims were briefly set forth, the idea that she desired to secure world domination through the war disclaim- ed, and the responsibility for the con flict primarily placed upon Russia by Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann, the Ger man foreign secretary, in speech to the reichstag yesterday.
 While declaring that what was de- sired for the German people and their allies was "a free, strong, independ- ent existence" within the boundaries drawn for them "by history" the for eign secretary said Germany would have to decline to make any prior con- sessions by stating her position as to Belgium in a way which would bind her without similarly binding Ger many's enemies.
 Referring to the responsibility for the war, as he viewed it, Dr. von Kuehlmann said:
 Says Russia Started War.
 "I do not believe any responsible man in Germany. not even the em. peror or the members of the imperial government, for a moment believed they could wi nthe domination of Eu- rope by starting this war. The idea of world domination in Europe is utopian, as was proved by Napoleon"

Washington, June 25.-The speech of German Foreign Secretary vor Kuehlmann before the reichstag, il which he laid chief blame for the wal to Russia was read in official and dip. lomatic circles with some degree of surprise and astonishment.
 The question which immediately oc. cured to all officials was the under, lying motive for the sudden shift ot blame from England to Russia anc the placing of England third in the or der of liability and France next tc Russia.
 Such statement, in contradiction of all German official argument here tofore, diplomatists thought might foreshadow some further move, possi- bly, to test out the sentiment of the allies on peace and probably to create some dissension among them. As with other moves of German diplo- macy, it was viewed most cautiously

of the allies which oresadows the future

great moments of the war"
"The enemy" says The Times has very good reason
