to resume relations Of amity, with
the Italian government) without de-
manding guarantees by the foreign
powers or international courts.
The official Fascist organ, Foglio
D'Ordini, has replied, brusquely con-
demning the proposal.
After the examples of Germany and
Britain. the italian moving picture in.
dlstry is to be protected by legisla-
ton. Very promising before the war,
the industry has since been almost
extinguished by the invading Ameri-
can film.
China-The failure of the attempt
upon Peking by Shansi forces appears
to have amounted to a debacle. All
the territory lost by Chang Tso LIN ) :
forces has been regained. 1t is
plausibly asserted that Yen Hsi Shan,
.'modeli governor of Shansi, was the
dupe of Feng Yu Hsiang, the Chris
tian" general. Feng, whose headquar-
ters has been at Chenchow in north.
east Honan, is now ''up against 1t"
being threatened by Chang Tso Lin
from the north and Chang Tso Lin's
ally, Chang Tsung Chang, tuchun OF
Shantung, from the northeast. He is
said to be retiring in northwesterly
direction for Shansi, where, apparent
iy, he is not wanted; indeed, the pos
sibility is indicated that Yen Hsi Shan
may now make common cause with
Chang Tso Lin against Feng, that
professional duper. On the other
hand. one hears that the Nanking
government is undertaking to rush
aid to Feng Yu Hsiang along the
line of the Pukow Tientsin Railway
and has ordered Gen. Tang Shen Use
to cooperate in new northern drive.
This Tang Shen Use was commander
in-chief of the forces of the now de-
funct Hankow government Emerged
in the Marking government and still
has his headquarters at HankOw,
where he disposes of what is celes-
TALLY considered a formidable force.
Nominally he is now the servant of
the Marking government, but appar-
emily his real status is semi-independ-
ent: at any rate he has to be wooed.
Quite so. You never can tell what
may happen overnight in China to
change the whole face of things.
Scarcely had / written the above
Tse had refused obedience to Nam
kings orders and that the Marking
government had dispatched puni-
tive expedition against him. This
force must include a large part of
Markings available strength, So that
the project to assist Feng Yu Hsiang
must be renounced for the present.
Silently, invisibly for some time
past the British authorities have been
reducing the Shanghai defense force
from 10000 at the peak to pres
ent 5000.
Rumor has 1t that the British resi-
dents at Hankow are clamoring for
better conditions In the Sino- British
municipality at Hankow which, last
Summer, replaced the British conces-
sion: failing which. they urge, the
British government should resume
the concession.

STORM WASHES OUT
SOUTHERN ROADS

A severe cloudDurst which struck
the country between Miami and Su-
perior late Monday afternoon, washed
out section of the Superior highway
on the upper side of the tunnel, about
two miles above Superior, and COM
pletely washed out section of the
highway between Superior and Ray,
making that road impossible, accord
ing to reports.
The washout on the main highway
occurred at a culvert just above the
tunnel, and only five feet remained of
the roads width. Motorists stalled at
the point cooperated in building a
temporary passageway of rocks, and
nearly so cars which had gathered
were able to proceed.
Large streams of water running off
cliffs washed numerous
rocks upon the road, but the highway
itself did not suffer except near the
|culvert.

Rains Continue
TO Improve Ranges

Light, moderate, and heavy rains
fell over the state and in southwest
ern New Mexico during the past week,
freshening dryland crops, making
ranges green in some sections, and
increasing the water supply for stock.
Some streams in the Whiteriver coun-
try were muddy ten days ago, which
would indicate heavy rains in the
higher attitudes. In this section the
country looks better than for several
good to excellent in all sections, and
stock is fat in eastern Graham coun-

sections. Crops are looking well in
southwestern New Mexico. More rain

DRY AS. A FISH?
NEW FISH STORY

Among the many hot weather snake
and fish stories now being circulated
to take the tourists mind off the Tue
son climate, we find this one in the
Tucson Citizen which should make Mr..
Volstead weep:
Mystery marks the migration Of
over 200 piscatorial specimens from
their natural habitat to the foothills
of the Rincon Mountains sans water.
Automobiles on tie road to Colossal
Cave early yesterday morning rubbed
their eyes and stared upon seeing two
hundred fish ranging from two to two
and half inches in length Hopping
about on the road which leads to the
Colossal Cave and the Rincon ranger
station. No sign of water or container
was near the little fishes.
Crank Smith, lessee of the cave,
said today when reporting the un-
usual phenomenon, that he had heard
of the Salome frog which could not
swim when it was six years old but
that he and the other motorists who
saw the fish yesterday lying in the
middle of a desert road, Hopping this
way and that without sign of water
within five miles of the spot, caused
them to believe that it either had
rained fishes in that spot or that they
were being carried to stock streams
high in the Rincons and had been lost
from the carrying car. Nevertheless
the Tucson man believes he has seen
the only specimens of highland swim
less fish"
ED Note: These fish were un-
doubtedly bunch of suckers on their
way to Los Angeles after having had
trouble with some of the carp-ing tribe
over water rights.)

CANYON REGISTRY STATION
is HELD UP AND ROBBED

The park registration station agent
at Grand Canyon was held up last
night by two men travelling in Max
well car and SIS taken from the office.
The men preliminary to their holdup
had cut the telephone wire between
the registry station and the canyon
thus forestalling immediate pursuit.
Word was later gotten through to the
sheriff here and Deputy Sheriff Art
Vandevier and Constable B. C. Black
were detailed to the case. The two
officers are certain that the men
passed them on the Maine Canyon
road as they were forced to take to
the brush in order save themselves
from being hit by car going at a
high rate of speed Both of the hold
up men are said to have work with
the company building the new road
at the Canyon.

M'BRIDE HEADS new
HIGHWAY COMMISSION

Isaac P. Mcbride of Globe was
named as chairman of Akizona's
newly appointed highway commission,
which met in executive session in the
governors office Tuesday morning,
held drawings/to decide the length of

discussed total of nearly 30 names
for the posts of state engineer, chief
engineer and secretary. Mcbride
drew four-year term.
w. G.. Lefebvre was re-appointed
state engineer and M. G. Hankins of
Cochise county was elected secretary.
Harry Thompson of Phoenix was
elected vice-chairman of the commits
sion and also drew four-year term.
The only six-year term of the present
commission was drawn by James F.
Mcdonald of Bisbee, Cochise county,
Floyd Williams of Prescott and Fred
Steger of Tucson each drawing two
year terms on the commission.
The terms of the members began
on the date of their official appoint
ment.
The commissioners discussed organ
ization plans and announced tentative
plans for tour Of the highways of
the state in which the condition of
roads and bridges in all sections of
Arizona, along with proposed new
bridge sites, will be inspected and re-
ported on.
The first official meeting OF the
commission adjourned at noon and
reconvened at 1870 o'clock this after
noon. At the forenoon meeting, per-
tinent subjects taken up and discussed
were the initial plans for highway
budget which would include a resume
of all sources of the highway depart
ment's revenues.
The. budget is planned to include
estimates of the cost of all proposed
projects of the department and also
estimates of the departments reve-
nues, which will be compared and the
total secured All highway undertak-
ings under the regime Of the commits
sion will be carried out under the bud
get plan.

jects of the state, and one which it is
said will receive first attention, is the
construction of the remaining two
miles of replacement road along the
Apache Trail bordering Horse Mesa
lake. This two-mile strip recently
was flooded when the waters Of the
lake reached their maximum height
and resulted in the closing of the
Apache Trail to travel.

ence, but this is what happened to DR..
R. NJ. Francis while he was return

nesday evening. Two Ford cars at
tempting to pass the doctors machine
on a curve, failed to clear when they
turned back onto their side of the
highway. The first machine only
dented a fender on Dr. Francis car
but the second one crashed with such
force that Dr. Francis lost control of
his machine and it went into the ditch.
Besides being badly shaken, the
doctor received bad cut over his eye
