CHINESE COLONY
POSTPONES COMING

Ladysmith's Chinese colony, that
was to operate large truck farm 4
miles south of the city this year will
not come until another year at least.
Even skilled Chinese labor is scarce
and for this reason the company that
was to have operated the farm will not
be able to do so this year. A large
amount Of preliminary work has al
ready been done, but the plowed
ground will all be seeded down and
none of the labor will be lost
No one will feel bad if the chinks
never come.

GERMANY PLANS TO MAKE BALTIC
 A GERMAN LAKE

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Ger- manys activities in Finland and the Aland islands are causing fears among the northern European neutrals that a middle sea of the north" is con- templated by the autocratic central powers as an adjunct to their aggres- sive plans for an economic and mili- tary alliance against the world un- der the name of "Mittel-Europa"
 "The results obtained by the Ger mans in the Russian Baltic states are giving the neutral northern countries much room for afterthought," de- clares Dr. Jor. c. Asche, the Scan dinavian economist, in an article re- ceived here in official dispatches "The operations of the Germans in the Bal tic provinces may have consequences which no peace congress ever will have power to efface
 'The Germans desire to connect Finland in an economic way with mid dle Europe. Finland is a country of raw materials. If Germany becomes master of the Baltic, and Finland be- comes an independent state with ec- onomic relations with middle Europe, Russia's wish to extend toward the west is probably once for all made impossible.
 In order for Russia to get on her feet again, she must find an outlet for her natural riches, and when she has no way open to the west, she must get there by aid of the middle European group, especially Germany, and by the aid of Scandinavia. In this way, an interchange of trade be- tween Scandinavia, the middle Europe group. and Russia, and the entire Mo- hammedan world would be possible, and not simply a future dream.
 With regard to Norway, it is not out of the question that this coun- try will have to consider seriously whether she will not have to lean a little more to the east and south than now is the case"
 Bearing on the same subject is an abstract from Affarsvarlden, a lead ing Swedish trade journal:
 "Germany's actions on Aland and in Finland and the inclusion of Finland in the German protected states, is a very serious thing for the eqonomic life and whole future of Swelen,' itl says. Finland and possibly Russia under German economic and political control are a menace to Sweden that is greater than any before. There are already indications to show that Ger many is extending her new influence as far north as Spitzenbergen.
 "If Finland forms an economic union with Germany, which, for anyone who knows Germany, will mean only that Finland becomes a German vassal state, this would be great influence on Swedish export market for timber, wood, paper, etc, in which Sweden has heretofore competed with Finland.
 "The economic future of Sweden has been greatly shadowed by the events of the last few weeks. Whether it will have any political influence re- mains to be seen. "The Frankfurter Zeitung says with regard to the German occupation of Aland, that it has, of course a far greater political than military char acter."

MAY WEAR HIGH SHOES
 F0R LIMITED PERIOD

LONDON, June 27-Women oi England are to have the privilege of purchasing shoes with leather tops more than seven inches in height for the first time in more than a year But the army council has relented for only two months from June 1, and did so only then at the earnest ap. peal of deputation of shopkeepers catering to those demanding the smartest things. After July 31 no more high shoes may be purchased for an indefinite period.
 The high style has not gripped England as it has America in recent months. The owners of the usual shoe stores have been little exercised by the order limiting tops to seven inches, and did not display much in terest when the ban was lifted. They stated that the average English woman, particularly at this time, wants a sensible" shoe, and trade in those a foot or so high will be con. fined to ultra-fashionable, light weight productions.

by the Sisters with regard to race, creed or social status of persons applying for admittance as patients The fact that one is sick or injured is the only passport needed
 Yet one of the important features of the institution is the beautiful chapel, occupy ing a central location in the main build ing, easily accessible to those convalescent patients who may desire to go there Holy mass is celebrated every morning by the hospital chaplain.
 Recent Improvements
 In connection with St. Joseph's nospi- tai there has recently been erected a splendid building for use as nurses home. Here the young nurses in training have their class rooms, lecture halls, dor mitories and so forth. Here the medical staff attending the hospital deliver lec- lures that are well calculated to aid the future nurse in her profession. And as the course of study extends for three years her knowledge in the theoretical and practical work of all the departments of the hospital, including three months course in the operating room, must of necessity be thorough one
 There are so many excellent features of St. Joseph's hospital that it would be impossible to enumerate them in this lim- tied space.
 Mercy hospital at Prescott is another fine and commodious building, modern in every respect and fully equipped with all the requisites of a first class hospital. The hospital at Prescott is general one, but is also the hospital for the employees of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix railroad.

H
 pital runs parallel with that of
 Phoenix. In fact its own history and its growth is the history and growth not only of the city but of all the verdant Salt River valley and the great country beyond.
 From an humble adobe cottage, offer ing accommodations for about half a dozen patients, in 1895, it has risen (PhoeniX-like) till it now offers accom- modatnons for 125 patients, in thor Oughly modern group of buildings.
 Today 1t is conceded that St. Joseph's stands pre-eminent among the hospitals of the most flourishing and prosperous state in the union. With large and com modious rooms, broad verandas, modern equipment and approved methods, the institution today offers all that could be required by both physician and patient The hospital proper contains D rooms; two large wards, one for surgical patients exclusively, the other a medical ward; and, in addition, children's ward. About twelve of these rooms have private baths and toilets
 The Annex
 The annex IS brick and concrete structure in the Mission style of archi- lecture, fireproof in construction. modern, sanitary, and convenient in equipment. In the annex there are 9 rooms. This addition so increased the capacity of St. Joseph's to the point where it became the largest general hospital in Arizona
 A passenger elevator installed in the annex is one of the conveniences provided for the handling of surgical and accident cases.
 Operating Rooms
 All that modern exact surgery requires is found in the construction and equip ment of the operating rooms of St. Joseph's. These rooms and all pertain ing thereto are in charge of the Sisters. The great success attending the opera tions performed in this hospital are in no small measure due to the conditions under which they are carried on, for it is here that nothing that science and forethought. care and skill can do, is neglected
 Rooms and Torches
 The rooms are large and airy, broad windows affOrding abundance of light. Every room faces or opens upon broad porch. These porches extend around the entire group of buildings.
 In this delightful climate the porch is in some respects the most important part of the house, as it affords fresh air and sunshine any hour of the day; also the in- valid's bed may be rolled out thereon making for him or her ideal sleeping ac- commodations.
 The buildings are heated by hot water system. In addition many of the rooms are furnished with wood heaters, provid ing this extra warmth where needed il special cases.
 Hospital Open to All
 There is no distinction whatever mad,

Twenty Years Ago

St. Joseph's hospital of 20 years ago consisted of small frame building with accommodations for about dozen pa tients. With the pioneer spirit of their order the sisters kept on working and building. It was struggle at times but the sisters never faltered. They did their duty as it came to them until finally their efforts were crowned with success. The result of this great good work is the splendid "mercy hospital' of today
 Hospital At Nogales
 St. Joseph s hospital of Nogales is an- other landmark of the Sisters of Mercy of Arizona Although of more recent date, than either Prescott or Phoenix this border town has been the field of much labor and progress Here as in Prescott, the Sisters care for the employees of the railroads in that locality, in connection with the general hospital work.
 Altogether the Sisters of Mercy may we'll be proud of their work in this section the more so when 1t Is recalled that the Arizona of quarter of century ago was very far removed from the Arizona of to- day, with all things modern, with its ad vantages and conveniences, that were only theoretical when the Sisters of Mercy be gan their pioneer work in the territory.

0VERNAN MEASURE
PASSES IN SENATE
Extends Powers Of President Over
War Agencies Of Nation

Washington, April 3o.--The Ad-
n1inistration won a distinct victory
yesterday when the senate, by a vote
of So to 10, passed the Overman bill,
giving the president power to con
sOlidate and coordinate" executive
bureaus and agencies as a war emer
gency measure, Opposition to the bill
fell away after various amendments,
seeking to modify its scope, were de-
feated. The bill now goes to tho
house for action.
The passage of the OVerman bill by
the senate after nearly q month Of de-
bate, was urged by President Wilson
in a recent letter to Senator Overman
of North Carolina. AS passed today
the bill differs slightly from the form
in which it was offered by the North
Carolinan after it had been handed to
him by Postma ster General Burleson.
In the original draft the bill con-
templated bestowing power upon the
president not alone to reconstruct ex-
listing governmental agencies, but also
to create new ones. The power to
establish new agencies was stricken
from the measure in committee.
The only amendments adopted by
the senate embraced one by Senator
Wadsworth accepted last week, au-
thorizing the president to reconstruct
the aircraft production agencies and
one by Senator Jones of Washington,
offered today, to limit the operation of
the bill to six months after the war
ends, instead of one year, as origi-
nally fived. Senator Jones's amend
ment was adopted by a viva voce vote.
Brandegee Becomes Funny.
Toward the end of debate, Sen
ator Brandegee of Connecticut, one of
the few republicans, by the way, who
voted against the measure on final
passage, offered in a spirit of jest an
amendment providing that ANY power
inadvertently omitted in this bill be
hereby granted to the president. The
Connecticut senator explained that he

In the course of the day the sem
ate defeated, by a vote of A to %,
an amendment offered by Senator
Gallinger to exclude the government
printing office from the scope of re-
organization. An amendment offered
by Senator Harding of Ohio to elm
mate the executive departments from
the authority of reorganization was
defeated, AZ to so. An amendment
offered by enator Cummins of Iowa
to forbid interference with the pow
crs Of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission was also defeated.
In debate enator Harding adverted
to the votes last week on amend
ments to limit the presidents power.
"Those votes shattered the charges
that partisan jealousies inspired the
opposition to this bill" said Senator
Harding. Senators on both sides Of
the chamber have shown that they

WAR BRINGING OUT

The first of three state conferences
arranged by the Atlantic division will
be held next tomorrow, in Foot Guard
l.all, Hartford, Conn. Representatives
from all chapters in Connecticut are
expected to attend the conference,
Sessions will be held in the morning
and afternoon.
The following Saturday May A.
representatives of chapters in New
Jersey will meet in the Hotel Break
eFs, Atlantic City, at two sessions
which will be devoted to the discus
sion of various phases of Red Cross
work. These two state conferences
and that to be held on May s in the
Waldorf Astoria hotel, New York
city, for chapter workers of the state
of New York, will be by far the most
important meetings ever arranged by
division headquarters.
Virtually one year has elapsed
since the appointment of the Red
Gross war council. During that time
the Red Cross has grown as no Or
ganizatiOn ever has grown before.
The increase in chapter activities has
been in proportion to the increase in
membership.

100000 war fund has been spent. The
public soon will be called upon to
contribute another 800, 100000 to

victorious elimination of the war.
It is important that chapters look
Backward, that Il comprehensive sur

the twelve months since Americas
entry into the war and that chapters
also look forward to the new achieve
Elents which are TO begin with the
completion of the second war fund.
This, and the desire to stimulate en-
thusiasm in the coming campaign for
funds prompted division headquar-
ters to arrange a state conference for
