EVEN PRICE OF WILD ANIMALS
 SCARS HIGHER

Berlin, July 2 = Like everything else in Germany, the price of wild anx finals has scared sky high. An e1e- phant costs 30,O00 marks as against the former price of 7,50O. A lion skin now brings 4,00O marks, which is much more than a living lion used to cost. Owing to the great expense it is out of the question to rep1enish Germany's zoos except by breeding and the keepers of the various zoos throughout are cooperating in mat ing their charges.

TODAY ON RATIFICATION
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, March 18.-Dis-
playing disposition to get to final
vote on the peace treaty without de-
lay, the Senate began voting today
on the remaining reservations.
Three reservations proposed by
Senator Reed of Missouri, a Demo-
cratic senator, and chief of the ir-
reconcilables, were rejected. One
and the most important of the three,
aimed to provide that the United
States should retain the right to de-
eide what questions might affect its
national honor and interest, and with
holding all such questions from juris-
diction of the League of Nations.
Senator Gerry of Rhode Island call
ed up his reservation which provides
that "the United States adheres to
the principle of self determination,
and expresses a hope that Ireland
may soon be Independent and become
member of the League of Nations.
Senator Thomas of Colorado offer
ed an amendment to the Gerry res
e1vation that would include Korea.
The Colorado senator declared that
the reservation ought also to include
the PHILIPPINES, Porto Rico and
Hawaii.
Senator Cummins of Iowa, who was
presiding, overruled a point of order
against the Thomas amendment to
the Gerry reservation, and the Sem
ate refused to table the Thomas
amendment.
Senator Kellogg Of Minnesota, then
moved to table the Gerry reservation,
which motion was defeated by vote
of % to So.
The Thomas amendment was then
defeated by "a to As.
By vote of 81 to AZ the Senate
then rejected an amendment by SEN

stumbling block in the way of action,

the final vote on ratification can be

Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, March 18.-Ac-
cording to advices received in diplo-
matte circles today, there is grave
danger of new revolution in Ger
many, resulting from powerful al
lance of radical elements in Germany
with Russian Bolsheviki; and it is an
immediate menace to the peace Of the
world.
Reports from Germany telling of
renewed Spartacan outbreaks are
taken as the first indication of this
development.
Diplomats declare that the past two
days have shown a sudden and alarm
ing growth of this movement, work
ing under direction from Moscow,
headquarters of the Russian Bolshe-
wiki movement.
German Bolsheviki are expected to
make a determined effort to seize
their country and effect an alliance
with the Soviet government of Rus
sia. The next step, it is believed,
would be reputation of the peace

ARIZONA CHLIDREN'S HOME

With regard to the campaign for
funds for the Arizona Children's
Home, which opened Monday, there
much to be said. 1t is a most worthy
object.
The home is located in Tucson. The
far visioned charity of a Tucson wo-
man decided the location for the pro-
posed building when Mrs. Mary S.
Attix donated to the Arizona Chill
dren's Home association a site COM
prising forty city lots in the Mission
View addition, three miles south of
Tucson. On this ground it is planned
to erect a sanitary and commodious
building designed for the accomod-
alton of fifty children. There are
more than thirty boys and girls of
all ages from one to fifteen, regularly
sheltered in the present structure
which houses the wards of the as
sociation and which aside from the
the fact that it is ill-situated, ill
lighted and in an advanced state of
decay, has real capacity of scarcely
twenty. Moreover, there is always a
long waiting list.
Fifty thousand dollars is the sum
which has been decided upon by the
directors as requisite for the con-
struction of an adequate building and
grounds for the states homeless chill
dren. Prominent women of the vari-
Gus communities have interested them
selves in plans to raise the several
allotments of the districts.
Mrs. A. NJ. Gillespie is the chair
man of the local committee at No
gales; and it has been organized for
real, effective work.
Nogales will go over the top in
this as in all the other great causes
for which appeal has been made to
these people.

ital and labor agreed upon terms;
and their country was the first of all
the nations to get back to real pro-

doing good business and making

WILL ENTERTAIN
FIVE GOVERNORS

A couple of days ago "The Oasis"
stated that telegram had been re-
ceived from Governor Ramon F..
Iturbe of the state of Sinaloa, stat
ing that as he will visit Nogales in
May with a trade excursion from his
state, and will be engaged busily in
making arrangements for that, it will
be impossible for him to accept the
invitation to visit the Line Cities in
April, to meet with Governor Camp
bell of Arizona, and Governor de la
Huerta of Sonora.
In giving publication to TIC tele-
gram from Governor Iturbe "The
Oasis" suggested that it might be ad-
visable to defer the meeting of the
chief executives until the time of the
projected Sinaloa trade excursion.
Yesterday Mr.. Bracey Curtis, pres
ident of the Nogales Chamber of Com
merce, received a telegram from Gov
ernor de la Huerta's secretary stat
ing that his excellency is very i'll
with the influenza, and confined to
his bed in very weakened condition,
which admonishes him that he may
not be able to come to Nogales in
April; so he cannot accept the in.
vitation at this time.
Governor de la Huerta's telegram
put new phase upon the proposed
meeting of governors; and it was
agreed that the function planning
will have to be deferred. So. yester-
day evening, an informal meeting of
leading members of the boards of di-
rectors of the two chambers of COM
merce was held, and it was agreed to
postpone the proposed meeting Of
governors until May, the date to be
fixed later, when it shall be known
the date of arrival at the information
al line of the Sinaloa trade excursion.
At the same time it was agreed al
so that the scope of the meeting of
chief executives shall be enlarged
and extended to include the governors
of California and Lower California.
In accordance with that understand
ing Mr.. William T. Haley, secretary
Of the Nogales Chamber of Commerce,
and Lie. Villa--Michel, of the Camera
de Comercio of Nogales, Sonora, will
invite Governor w. H. Stephens o1
California; Governor Estaban Cantu,
of Lower California; Governor Thos.
Campbell of Arizona; Governor Adol-
TO de la Huerta of Sonora; and Gov.
ernor Ramon F. Iturbe of Sinaloa, to
be guests of the two chambers of
commerce at the time of the Sinaloa
trade excursion, in Maya date to
be fixed by the arrangement for that
event.
This new arrangement will make
the projected visit of chief executives
far more imposing affair; and it
can be timed at most auspicious
date; arrival at the line of large
body of commercial men coming from
q great state in Mexico to visit the
United States.

TRYING To STIR
UP TROUBLE IN
MEXICO
Tucson, Arizona, March II, 1920.
To the Editor,
"The Oasis"

TO the Editor,
''The Oasis"
Nogales, Arizona.
Dear Sir: Not long since the eve
ming paper in this city Tucson Citi-
zen) came out with an article pertain
ing to the Mexican question, at the
time when the Fall investigation COM
mite was in session here, stating
that another revolution would be
started in Mexico by Gen. Alvaro
Obregon, even suggesting that an ap-
propriate date for commencement of
the revolt would be the fifth Of May.
We have taken up this matter with
prominent business men and officials
in your city on both sides of the in
ternational line, as to the accuracy of
the Citizen article which gravely con-
Germs us as wage earners.
Most of the prominent business men
visited on the Arizona side of the
border agreed ON one point; and that
was that the paper in question pub
lished the article with the purpose Of
discrediting the witnesses from the
border who appeared before the COM
mittee investigating conditions in
Mexico; and in other ways the article
endeavered to show up those condi-
tions as very dangerous to those con-
templating investment Of capital or
locating there, when the fact is that
there has been constant and con-
tinuous improvement in that country.
Some of the business men inter-
viewed denounced bitterly the attitude
of such. yellow journalism; and they
said that in the future they. would be
opposed to anything advocated by the
newspaper mentioned, and stated that
they would doubt hereafter the good
faith of anything appearing in its
columns.
The business men, and especially
the working men on the Sonora side
of the line took the matter far more
seriously. There it was pointed out
that such articles as that published
in the Tucson Citizen were and are
the cause of internal troubles in Mex
leo. To question put a former gov
eminent revenue officer whether it is
true that Americans are molested in
the interior of his country, the an
Swer was that they are not.
This same question was put to a
dentist who has spent more than
twenty years in the interior of Mex
leo, and he said that he had never
lived with more peaceable people in
his life. He said he had spent the
past year in New Orleans, during
which time he felt he was in con-
slant danger of being killed.
| While the dentist was telling his
story young American appeared il
his parlors, who looked very truculent
and was very abusive in his talk
The dentist explained that upon that
side of the line there are a number
of that same kind-slackers-wht
fear going back to the states, and arr
anything but an asset to those living
in Mexico. He stated that he woult
not dare to have such individuals ii
his house with him. IL.
Prominent laboring men were ask
ed their opinion of the alleged rev
olution. They declared it nothing bu
