down by Brumback and Pugh, their
attorneys, yesterday.
The statement of facts alleges that
they instructed the porter to let them
off at Ash Fork. that Miss Cora Hall
was i'll and being taken to Phoenix by
Miss Pearl Hall for her health. He
awakened them, but through some
misunderstanding they failed to be
left off at Ash Fork. 1t was then
understood, according to the allegations
in the statement of facts. that they
were to get off at Seligman. farther on
west And" the statement of facts
alleged, when we stopped out about
seventy miles from Ash Fork the porter
came through and told us this was
the place to get off. opened the doors
and took our suitcases off the train.
We were put off on the southside of
the train and could see no signs of any
kind of depot. but the porter said
we were on the wrong side of the
track and could cross over when the
train moved on"
No Signs OF A Town
The statement of facts then alleges:
We supposed the town was on the
other side, but it was absolutely dark
and we could see no signs of a town
! or even a depot
1t was then that the two girls were
introduced to Arizona in the rough.
They had come from q, town wherein
they are known to be members of one
of the first families, rich and cultured
and used to the best things life has to
offer. They heard walls and thought
the walls came from hungry Collie
dogs. The Mexican with whom they
passed a few hours said coyotes and
smiled.
The girls before reaching the Next
cans shack floundered in the dark, so
they stated to the attorneys, listening
to and frightened at those dogs and
trying to find the town which did not
exist.

best he could, and then retired to his
blankets on the floor. At daybreak
the Mexican prepared the meal, setting

BUSINESS MEN OFFER.
To AID COYOTES IN
MAKING COAST TRIP

Phoenix business men, a few of them
at least, have announced their willing
ness to aid the Phoenix union high
school football team in making an in
vasion of California in search of new
gridiron foes. They have offered fl
nancial assistance in the event that
the local athletic management fails to
complete arrangements with some
coast team for taking the local eleven
to Los Angeles or San Francisco.
The 1913 Coyote team is probably the
strongest gridiron eleven that has ever
represented the locaS institution of
learning, yet the team is experiencing
all kinds of difficulty in securing
games. The players are yet to enjoy
their first out-of-town trip, for which
they have worked hard all season.
Coast teams are seemingly none too
anxious to meet the local team on the
field of athletic honor, even though the
Coyotes have announced their willing
ness to put their title as Arizona state
champions up at stake.
1t seems that a post-season game
between the winner of the Southern
California interscholastic title and the
Coyotes, Arizona champions, would be
big drawing card on the coast Such
a game would draw at least 5000 fans
in this city, but the local authorities
prefer to give the local players the
| trip to the coast rather than to reap
any rich harvest from game. When
Santa Ana played here three years
ago, more than 1000 fans paid one

It was found impossible to OBJ

To the latter the avoidance of

misfortune that could have hap

Germany capitulated, they were

peace offensive"
There is a good dea' to be said
for their view from the militarist

I am only demonstrating the divi-
sion of opinion and feeling that
existed in the Imperialist camp.
Now, if this had been the only
division in the party and in the
country, it would not have mattered,
as both sides were agreed on the
practical part of the policy.
Both were equally determined to
place the British Empire in a posi-
ton to reduce the German EN-
pire to the degree of second rate
power if she moved toward a
hegemony and to keep ahead of her

were other sections whose seces-

fundamentally opposed to the
policy.
First, there were the CONNER

Trustworthy as a military ally. Be-
sides, it was clearly the business of
Western Europe to support Germany
in the interest OF civilization against
a barbarous anachronism like the
czardom. No Western power could
conspire with RUSSIA to overthrow
Germany without putting itself hope
lessly in the wrong morally, unless it
could prove there was no safe
alternative and that self-preserva-
ton drove it to this desperate step.
But no such proof was possible.
Needed Additional Ally.
1t is true that France and Eng
land needed an additional ally. They
were faced by a three-fold alliance
of Germany, Austria, and Italy, the
triplice--and the Kaiser was culti-
waiting ridiculous but dangerous
entente with Islam, which meant
Turkey.
A triple alliance was, therefore,
necessary to England and France,
out there was an alternative to an
alliance with Russia, and a very OBJ
vious one. To a democrat, if not
to a country house diplomatist, that
alternative was an alliance with the
United States of America. Events
have proved that this was the right
alternative, not only morally, but
militarily.
Why was it not chosen? Well,
there were diplomatic as we'll as
strategic reasons against it. The
United States were still in the
Washingtonian phase OF non-inter-
vention and the imperialism of the
late Colonel Roosevelt could not see
very far. Though it could see very
red, it could see just far enough to

That would have been the truth.
Anything short of it had the effect
of lie, and naturally when the
truth eventually came out those who
were deceived refused to make the

Asquith and Sir Edward Grey saved

European balance of power. The
United States had no more interest
in these British traditions than the
central empires themselves. To
bring them into the alliance it would
have been necessary to appeal to
their interest in the peace of the
world and in the substitution of
Federal Republicanism for empire
as the prevalent form of govern
ment in Europe. An alliance with
Russia was quite out of the question.
There was nothing for it but either
remodel the anti-German combina-
tion so as to include America or
leave it as it was and accept the
French alliance with Russia as part
of it.
Took to Russian Alliance.
Such a remodeling was beyond
Sir Edward Grey's capacity and
highly uncongenial to his class ira
ditions and sympathies. AS typi-
cal British Junker, he took to the
Russian alliance as duck takes to
water, and Russia, with The French
Republic in one pockct and the Brit
ish Empire in the other, abandoned
the little self-restraint which the
scruple, of the democratic west had
hitherto compelled her to impose on
herself and let herself go in Persia
and elsewhere with the certainty
that everything to her discredit
would now be kept out of the British
and French papers.
From this time forth the London

Times no longer hailed the assassi-
nation OF deand Dukes and Governors
OF Finland with a very thinly para
phrased "Served him right" and
Russia's reputation rose as her con-
duct grew worse.
Yet the attempt at concealment
was only half successful. Nothing
could smother the laundering voice
OF Tolstoy nor silence the thousand
minor voices that clamored for judg-
ment on the vilest surviving tyranny
in Europe. Paris swallowed a visit
from the Car and even made much
OF him, but when he proposed a visit
to England the agitation against him
was so furious that Mr.. Asquith
dared not allow him to land, much
less confess to the Labor party and
to the people that the Liberal Impe-
rialists had virtually Joined hands
with the Car in a secret compact
against much more civilized neigh
boring state.
The Russian connection thus forced
him to a secrecy which did not stop
short OF fiat denials made by himself
and Sir Edward Grey in reply to
questions in the House of Commons
on more than one occasion that there
was any binding engagement be-
tween Britain and France The two
powers actually went to the length
OF exchanging letters stating for
mally that there was no binding en-
gagement, so that these denials
might be technically true.

ton would have run: There is no

, With them on the practical point
we're the Quakers, led by Sir Ed
ward Grey, probably by class in
stinct, into the stupendous moral
blunder of allowing themselves to
be made accomplices in an open and
flagrant crime against civilization.
There was and is plenty of Brit
iSh bulldog jingoism in the rank
and file of the labor party and
among those of its leaders who
were trade unioniSts, and nothing
more. The dynamic section to
which the party owed its forma-
tion and which supplied most OF
its ideas, were Socialists and In
ternatits.alists who knew that the
traditions of the British Lion have
no future and that the interests
of all the European proletarlans
are identical and pacific.
They were, it is true, far more
determined to overthrow the Ho-
henzollernist junkerdom than the
jingoes, but they wished to destroy
junkerdom, both at home and
abroad, by a combination of labor
at home and abroad, whereas the
capitalistic jingoes aimed simply at
the supremacy of British over
German junkerdom.
Further the labor party itself
was divided into idealist pacifists
who wished to stop the war and
realists who knew the war must
be fought out, and who hoped that
when junkers fell out labor would
come to it's own.
Labor Parties Unanimous.
There was one point, however, on
which labor was unanimous and
irreconcilable. The Liberal I'm
perialists had been led by their
military advisers, by French pres
sure and in the case of Sir Ed
ward Grey, probably by class in
stinct, into the stu9endous moral
blunder Of allowing themselves to
be made accomplices in an open
and fragrant crime against civiliza-
tion committed by the French Re-
public.
This was nothing less than an al
lance with the abominable despotism
Of the Russian czardom.
On the surface the military ad-
vantages of this alliance seemed un-
questionable. Russia commanded the
eastern frontier of the German and
Austrian empires and could thus
complete the famous encirclement
(einkreising). which was the mas
terstroke Of the allied strategy. No
better illustration could be found of
the shallowness of professional mill
tary realism. The czardom, long OBJ

ence, contradiction and weakness

of revolution. As the labor party
we'll knew
1t was, therefore, perilously un-
