PRETTY CHILD MOTHER TO BE DEPORTED
 TO MEXICO
BIsBEE YOUNG MAN IS CHARGED WITH AIDING YOUNG MEXICAN GIRL TO EVADE UNITED STATES IMMIGRATION OPTIC FRS AT WACO,

TUCSON, July 27.-"The most beau tiful woman prisoner" that has ever been detained at the immigration sta tiOn is said to be Senorita Sara Riyas, I7-years-old, who is awaiting the dis position of deportation proceedings brought against her here, by the bu- reau of immigration at Washington. She is charged with entering the Unit ed States after she had been debarred. She is of the blonde type of Mexican. having auburn hair and blue eyes, and notwithstanding her life has been one of tragic circumstances ad condi- tions, her features are touched by the suggestion of childhood and innocence.
 She is, moreover, as spirited as a thoroughbred. and during her examina- tion in deportation proceedings she several times crossed her interrogator.
 It is alleged that Miss Rivas entered the United States at NacO. AriZ., sur repitiOusly, after she had geen de- barred at Ncgales. Kenneth s. Kneed- Ter, a Bisbee miner, formerly a tele- graph operator at Nogales, ATiZ., who is her brotherin-lOw, has been arrested and bound ever to the United States district court here, on the charge of aiding the young woman to enter the United States. It is alleged that Kneed- Ter employed an automobile driver named Ramirez to go to Naco from Bisbee, and meet Miss Rivas on the international line near Naco. Immi- grafton officers had learned of the al legged conspiracy and placed both Miss Rivas and the automobile driver under arrest. Kneedler was subsequently ar rested.
 It vas Q tragic story that the young girl told. But seventeen years of a se. she is twice a mother, her first child being born when she was thirteen years of age. These were the common law issue, she said of her relationship with Jesus Ruiz, of Cananea, a meDl- her .o- what was at one time the wealthiest family in northern Mexico.

process that the allies have carried on in turning the enemy out of this sec tion and forcing them to withdraw to- ward Fere En Tardenois.
 The situation on the interior of the German salient must be uncomfortable for the enemy Long range guns in the hands of the allies are sweeping nearly every part of the salient and this fire is dOubly severe oyer that portion of the German position which is within the range of the medium cali bered cannon There is, however, lit tie to justify the belief that the Ger mans are in serious straits, or that their retreat is being unduly hurried There have been. more over. indica- tiOns that the Germans may decide not to retreat out of the salient but will try to hold it indefinitely.
 A new German offensive against some other section of the line for the purpose of relieving the pressure in the crown princes armies north of the Marne is expected by some mill tary experts but it has not developed as yet. It appears to be the con sensus of opinion that the German at tack, when it comes will be launched against the British fronts in Picardy or Flanders.

ALL FOOD AND DRINK PLACES FORGED TO
 BE CLEAN
SET OF RULES THAT MUST BE RIGlDLY LIVED UP TO GIVEN OUT DURING WEEK BY COUNTY AND CITY HEALTH OFFICERS WITH ARMY COOPERATION

All stores, restaurants, confection- aries, boarding houses or other places in Bisbee serving food or drink and some of those merely catering to the comfort of their patrons. such as bar Der shops and manicurists have been informed during the week by the coun- ty and city health officers. with the sanitary corps of the United States army cooperating, of rules which must be observed in sanitation for the health and general welfare of the com munity. In order to assist in the cam paign, Capt. H. L. Miller, district san itary officer, with headquarters in Douglas, was here during the week on several occasions, cooperating with Dr. c. H. Hunt, county health officer. and Dr. D. Brown, city health officer
 It has been decided between the three physicians, that as the work of distributing rule cards, etc, will be completed about the end of this week a two weeks interim will be allowed to intervene; then a complete and careful inspection of all the places previously visited will be made A list will be compiled and published. show ing the old and new rating of each place. This will be done periodically thereafter
 Among the rules for eating houses are those concerning proper lighting. ventilation, screening of food from flies, adequate refrigeration, etc. Chief among all others stands the rule that no invalid person in bad health may be employed in a place where food or drinks are served; in other words every emplOye Of such places must stand rigid physical examination and be shown to be in good health.
 These precautions are highly neces- sary, particularly in a town of such physical character as Bisbee," said CaDtain Miller ''In the past Bisbee either has had an exceptionally cap able set of physicians or been extra ordinarily lucky to have escaped cpl denies of typhoid. typhus and other communicable diseases"
 Instead of depending merely for en- forcement of the rules laid down upon the action of the law, public opinion will be called into play to a large extent. Thus when the rating of John Jones, confectioner, restaurant man or whatever he may be, shows that in the two weeks elapsing receipt of the rules and the first rate taking, he has made no effort to provide the sanitary appliances demanded. the public will have an opportunity to see and know just who these people are and to avoid dealing with them.
 The rules may appear arbitrary but their enforcement is necessary for pubs lie welfare. the physicians say. Hence they will be enforced to the limit.
