MILITARY JUSTICE.

Ansell, acting Judge advocate gener-
Il. concerning the punishments met

martial. The public is no less amax-

who was sentenced to dishonorab!e

LOCAL ITEMS FROM THE
LORENZO ENTERPRISE

The home being erected in the
west part OF town is going up at a
rapid pace and will soon be ready for
occupancy. This home will be an
attractive addition to the resident
section Of our city The place IS
owned by Mr.. Earthman who is local
manager Of the Murphy Lumber Co.
Rev. Underwood, now pastor Of
the First Baptist church Of Lamesa,
has accepted a call as pastor Of this
church and will begin his work here
within the course of a few weeks.
He will make his home at Estacado
as he has charge and also owns
some property there
Owing To the prevailing pretty
weather last Saturday the crowds
that generally throng our streets on
those days were unusually small,
most Of the farmers having taken TO
the cotton fields. Those who had
necessary business in the city did
not tarry long. Our merchants.
however. did a dandy business and
did not fall very short Of their usual
Saturday run.
Rev. b. W. wilkins. who for four
years has been the pastor Of the
First Methodist Church here will
leave soon and assume duties in an
other charge. Bro. wilkins has done
his work well here and commands
the respect and friendship Of our en-
tire citizenship who know him to be
a devout and consecrated man in the
service Of the Master. So il is with
deep regret that his church and out
side friends see him go and pray
Gods rich blessing upon him and his
family wishing his labors crowned
success in the new field.

In addition to the numerous golf tourna- ments there will be clock golf matches with interesting prizes. It is believed that there will be large local repre- sent2tion in the Castle Rock Hot Springs golf tournaments this year and undoubtedly all the matches will be witnessed by the usual body of local and eastern enthusiasts.
 The hotel is reached by a beautiful road over the mountains from Hot Springs Junction. The drive is made in Cadillac cars and is over one of the best roads in Arizona a road which is rarely equalled in the magnificent rugged scenery through which it passes.
 The season. which opens on De- cember l, promises to be the most sue cessful and enjoyable in the history of the resort. Former patrons and those who intend visiting Castle Hot Springs for the first time are advised to signify their desire at an early date in order that satisfactory accommodations may be provided for them.

privilege of out-of door swimming in the depth of winter. This is made pos sible by the ingenious way in which the copious flow from the famous hot springs is made to minister to the benefit and pleasure of the guests of this unique retreat.
 ''The crystal-cle waters, bearing with them life giving properties from natures laboratory, issue from the liv- ing rock at temperature of 122 de- grees. Falling into a natural stone basin, they fill it to convenient depth for luxuriant bathing and flow into the second pool, larger and cooler than the first. These two pools serve as bath ing and swimming places for those in need of the reviving effect of the water at or near their maximum heat.
 From thence, falling in a beautiful cascade, the water finds its way to the lower or cool pool. This is of suffi- cient size to accommodate many swimmers, and of a temperature which, coupled with the warm, dry air, rem ders mid winter swimming a delight.

 Across the broad sweep of the American continent there exists no winter resort better known or more pleasantly recalled than the Castle Hot Springs of Arizona.

 No expenditure of thought or money has been spared by the owners in erect ing a standard of service and comfort, never surpassed and rarely equaled. The cuisine at Castle Hot Springs is the acme of perfection, the appoint ments of the hotel and bungalow com plete in every detail the amusements varied and delightful.

CHINA CANCELS RIGHTS

Diplomats at Capital Consider Act
of Government, Contrary to
Agreement, Is Blunder.

PEkING, China, November 2S.-A
presidential mandate, issued Noyem
per =, cancels the independence of
the Outer Mongolians, an act for
which, the Chinese assert the whole
population of Mongolia petitioned.
Through direct connections with
Urga, capital of Mongolia, I learn
that this statement is not true The
Mongols We're forced through military
pressure to send into Peking the pc
tltion for cancellation.
Resident'- Petition to Chief,
On November 10 the Chinese resi-
dent in Urga called on the chief,
known as the Living God" and sug-
gested that he should send a petition
to the Chinese government to can
eel the autonomy of the country. This
the chief absolutely refused to do On
the 14th, after lining the roadway
from Urga to the Living Gods pal
ace with strong military force, the
Chinese resident called on the presi-
dent of the council of ministers and
issued an ultimatum that unless a pc
tition requesting the cancellation of
autonomy was handed to him within
fortyeight hours the head of the
council and the Living God' would
be arrested and transported across
the Cobb desert to Kalgan.
on I>ONeDeT 10 t1e Living 1Ou ndnO-
ed the Chinese demands to the lower
house of parliament, which in stormy
and indignant sessions rejected the
Chinese proposition. The speaker of
the house suggested arning the popu-
lation to resist Chinese aggression
The demands then were taken to the
upper house. which is composed of a
number of princes. These favored can
collation. because they receive certain
financial advantages from China. By
bare majority they agreed to the
cancellation. They ordered the coun-
Gil of ministers to draw up a petition
which was then signed by the min
listers and vice ministers. The Liv-
ing God refused to sign or approve.
Four districts called leagues consti-
tute Outer Mongolia. Only half of
one league favors cancellation and is
supported by number of princes who
expect financial remuneration from
China. Three and a half leagues, all
the lama priests and the Living God
are against it.
The cancellation of autonomy con-
travenes the tripartite agreement
which China signed with Mongolia
and Russia in 1911, granting auton-
omy to Mongolia. China ignores the
Russian legation, which has entered
the strongest protest against the can
collation.. In reality it is scheme of
the militarists to secure a base in
Mongolia for overawing Heking, should
occasion demand it. Foreign diplo-
mats consider that China has commit
ted a blunder.
