New Republic Embraces Richest
Coal and Mineral Fields
in Germany
COBLENz WILL Be THE new CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, June 2, 1915.
The great German Empire, the work
OF Bismark and Won Moltke, continues
and is falling to pieceS
in various autonomous republics The
latest ashlar to fall from the cruh1b-
ling arch of nationality, so carefully
reared and cemented by the two
greatest of Germans, is the Republic
of the Rhine, which advices from
Paris state was proclaimed in several
Rhenish cities yesterday.
Coblenz will be the capital Of the
new republic; and creation of the
new state erects between Germany on
one side, with France, Belgium and
Luxembourg upon the other buffer
state which will prevent another such
Eruption westward as that which oc-
cured when war was declared in
1914.
The new state will be also great
industrial and manufacturing political
unit, including the coal, iron of the
Saar basin, with many large manu-
featuring cities, sustaining popula-
ton of a number of millions engaged
in production of textile fabrics, in
Guiding some of the most extensive
and important factories of Germany.
The boundaries of the republic as
proclaimed include in great part
what was created as the Confedera-
ton of the Rhine in 1905. that fell to
pieces with the fail of Napoleon. 1t
includes Rhenish Prussia, Old Mas
sau. Rhenish Hesse and the Palati-
nate. It will embrace population OF
about a dozen million people. doctor
Borden, lately an officer in the Ger
man army, is proclaimed president OF
the new republic. )
Other disintegrations are predicted
as likely to occur. Bremen, East and
West Prussia and other provinces are
reported agitating the question OF
similar action, and setting up separate
governments.

The Austro-H Hungarian Empir
Is Disrupted, And Republic Of
Austria Recognized
GIVEN Fifteen DAYS TO DECIDE

PARIS, June 2, 1919.-Today the
Austrian delegation to the Peace Con-
ference were handed a draft of the
terms upon which the Allies offer her
peace; and they were given fifteen
days to give the instrument all due
scrutiny, and return it to the Con-
ference, ready and willing to sign, or
take the consequences.
The proposed treaty requires Aus
tria to recognize as Independent
nations Hungary, Czecho-Slovakia,
and other new states that have been
carved out of the former Austrc-
Hungarian empire. And Austria her.
self is recognized as a republic,
limited to German Austria, with a
population of about seven million
people, where the Austro- Hungarian
empire embraced fifty millions.
The treaty requires also that Aus
tria shall recognize and abide by the
League of Nations.
Many provisions in the proposed
treaty are identical with similar pro-
visions in the treaty handed Ger
many; others differ as the conditions
are different.

A BIC BUSINESS
CHANGE
After a Successful Commercial Career
of Twenty-Five Years in No
gales, Don Ramon Vasquer
Retires

Yesterday announcement was made
of business change in the line city
that was real surprise; and it
emphasizes the old adage that the un-
expected is what happens.
After twenty-nine years of success
full merchandising in Nogales, Mr..
Ramon Vasquez has sold to Joseph
Berk of the Modern Store, thecolossol
emporium known long and well as
the Red House (La Cas- Colorada) !,
and retires from business.
The transact on is the heaviest in
that line ever carried out in Santa
Cruz county; and the transfer is re-
ported to involve $125,00O.
When Nogales was young Mr.. Vas
quer embarked in business here In
la small way; but strict attention to
business resulted in steady and sub
stantial growth until the Red House
had become one of the largest and
most widely known department stores
anywhere on the international boun-
Diary, housed in a great building of
three stories and basement, housing
one of the largest and most complete
stocks of dry goods, ladies dress
godds, mems and boys clothing boots
and shoes, etc., anywhere in the
Southwest. Mr.. Vasquez now retires
to take well earned ease, and enjoy
a competence.
During the past seven years there
has been associated with Mr.. Vasquer
one of the most wide awake and
thoroughly trained managers in the
United States, who has contributed
greatly to the success and prestige of
the establishment, Mr.. ]. A. Legarra.
One so active, with SO wide a
knowledge of the ountry, its people,
their wants and needs; and with
mastery of the mysteries of trade
that is perfect and mastery, Mr..
Legarra will not remaidle any length
of time. In fact the change was
hardly announced before Mr.. 'Legarra
was the recipient of several flatter-
ing offers. He says he will rest a
little while.
All the old timer and any others,
will regret to see Mr.. Vasquer go out
from active business pursuits; but
they all will be cheered by the fact
that he will continue to make his
residence in the line city.
The new proprietor, Mr.. Joseph
5erk, proprietor of the Modern Store
ias been in business in Nogales q
number of years; and he has achieved
4 high place among the active,
energetic business men of the city.
70 reporter of THE OASIS Mr..
3erk confided that his plans are not
natured entirely as yet, but he in
ends making the Red House one of
he largest most widely known conf
nercial establishments in the coun-
.ry.

TO PROVIDE JOBS
FOR DISABLED
YANKS

, WASHINGTON, June 2, 1919.-
An Executive Order recently issued
by the President and received by
cable amends the Federal civl!-ser~
vice rules so as to permit the U. S.
Civil Service Commission to waive
the physical requirements under GER
tain conditions in favor of men who
were injured in the military or naval
service.
The civil-service regulations specify
physical defects which debar from all
examinations and other defects
which will debar from certain
examinations. These regulations are
based pom the requirements of the
service as established by the several
department heads.
Upon the recommendation of the
Commission, after consultation with
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education and the U. S. Employees
Compensation Commission, the Presi-
dent issued an Executive Oorder, as
follows:
provided, that the Commission may,
in it's discretion, exempt from the
physical requirements established for
any position a disabled and honorably
discharged soldier, sailor, or marine
upon the certificaton of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education that
he has been specially trained for and
has passed practical test demon
strating his physical ability to per-
form the duties of the class of
positions in which employment is
sought"
In submitting it's recommendation
to the President the Civil Service
Commission said: "Where it is ap-
parent to this Commission that his
(the disabled soldiers, sailors, OF
marine's) physical condition is such
that he would not ordinarily be ac-
cepted, the case will be referred TO
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. That board will then de-
eide whether it practicable to educate
him for the position sought. If con-
sidered practicable, the rehabilitation
and education will be given and when
completed certification of that fact
will be made to this Commission
Where the Board does not consider it
desirable to attempt the education fo1
the position sought other positions
will be considered and suggested to
him, but he will not be admitted to
the one for which his physical con-
dition constitutes an irremediable
bar"

Last week Company D, 25th In

qualified as experts, twenty as sharp
shooters, and forty-five as marksmen.
It is believed that the record pre-

highest qualification of the season.
Sunday last, June 10, this company
enjoyed a delightful smoker, given in
honor of their successful target sea-
son, in which all present were served
with two cigars and an olive each.
Their explanation for failing to in

New hule Which Has Abolished For

English as commonly written today

and strength that 1t had a century ago,

poets or essayists, and their leading

The arrival of the age of steam, cleo
tricity and cheap postage wa followed
by a change, not for the better, in the
popular style Of speaking and writing.
"Say what you have to say as briefly
and quickly as possible, and don't
bother about fneness of expression"
became the general rule and practice.
The new millions of readers demanded
that their reading be expressed In the

SAVING LABOR WITH CATTLE
Alter Daily Routine of Chores So As
to Reduce Amount Of Work
Needed-Other Hints.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In general, labor in beef cattle OPP
erations may be saved in two ways.
The first, which probably will offer
quickest relief and not require an
extra outlay of capital, is to alter the
daily routine of chores so as to re-
duce the amount of labor needed. "a
Allow calves to nurse their dams in
the pasture instead of bringing them
to the barn lots for that purpose. ~
Run the bull with the cows instead
Of keeping him in a paddock. (3)
Stack coaIse roughages in racks from
which the cattle may eat at will in
stead of rationing their feed to them
daily. (4) Use self-feeders in fatten-
tioning the feed to them once or twice
a day, as the practice may be. 20
Feed the different feedstuffs in their
whole state instead Of chatting, cut
ting, crushing, grinding, etc. (6) Load
manure to the spreader and haul it to
the field direct rather than dump 1t
on piles, thereby eliminating the ne
oessity of reloading. (O Dehorn all
grade cattle and pure breds not to be
exhibited at fairs and run them to-
gether 10 far as possible rather than
separate them according to sex, age,
ETC., thereby making it possible for
one nan to look after a greater num-
Der of cattle in the same length Of
time. (S) Carefully Gull the herd SO
as to retain only profitable animals
and reduce the number of surplus ones
to be carried through s%easonssin which
the greatest care per head must be
supplied.
The second way to save labor with
beef cattle is to supply labor-saving
equipment. While this method requires
an expenditure of money and will
probably not bring such quick relief
as the first method the equipment
supplied will be permanent and in
the long run will probably be more
economical in saving labor. The fol-
lowing are some of the forms of
equipment that should be supplied for
