He was proud to ride into a new garrison at the head of his squadron and it was generally said in the regiment that the officers in his squadron had the best time of any. He was hospitable to a high degree and" none the less so after his marriage with the Princess Zita of Parma, who is just as well liked as her husband. When she accompanied him to his garrison she came as a simple junior officer's wife and not as an arch duchess. She went and called upon the wives of all the officers-Benior in rank to the archduke instead of wait ing for them to call upon her. She took the greatest interest, not only in regimental affairs, but also in the in habitants of the country districts where the regiment was stationed and became greatly beloved by the Jews in one of the small garrisons in Galicia. She went out among the people there and talked to the children and gave them little gifts such as no officer's wife had ever done before. . But so long as . Francis-Ferdinand was living the young couple were left in the background. .With, two small babies to look after the Archduchess Zita was quite content that it should be so, and was not at all anxious to become involved In the intrigues ap parently inseparable from the daily life at most courts, and certainly at the court of Vienna, But under the changed circumstances it is expected that she will assume her rightful place as the first lady at court, a position now held by the Archduchess Maria Annunclata. The emperor intends that the new heir shall lose no time in taking his place. In all probability the Archduke Carl Francis Joseph will be advanced rapidly in the army, while spending most of his time in familiarizing him self with political and administrative affairs. Special instructors, including highly placed officials, already have Ieen nominated to inform the new heir apparent, in technical matters re lating to the government and he will be gradually initiated Into the most important affairs of state. 'ifflttfifflTII (Continued 'row Page One) McAdoo and Comptroller of the Cur rency Williams. These two men have all the government authority to put in operation a plan which congress designed years ago for such situa tions as the present, by which the national banks of the country can obtain $500,000,000 in currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland act with which to face any conditions and meet any obligations. Before he left Mr. McAdoo de clared he considered the country in excellent shape to take care of itself, and there Is not 'the slightest reason for any feeling of alarm. President Wilson, who discussed the situation at luncheon with. Secretary McAdoo, is confident that any con dition which arises can be met with out great difficulty. Mr. McAdoo may return to Washington late to morrow In time to meet representa tives of the clearing house associa tions of Chicago and St. i,ouls now en route to the capital on his invita tion. In official circles the feeling is evident that any unusual strain will be manifest first in New York, and both the president and Mr, McAdoo are anxious that the highest govern ment financial authority be on the ground. : . Before Mr. McAdoo left the Wash ington treasury shipped out about $100,000,000 of the Aldrich-Vreeland .currency which will be in the vaults of the subtreasury tomorrow ready for the New York banks. McAdoo in New York NEW YORK, August 2. Secretary .William G. McAdoo of the treasury snatched from him. We saw Captain George Forbes Barrett draw his war implements to save his comrades only to find them wanting in cour age, strength and ability to follow his brave lead. Two home runs he made, alone and unassisted. Not once, but twice, ho smashed the ball into the great beyond. For many minutes mighty cheers rang from the grandstand as to a man they rose and applauded his magnificent and worthy deeds. Aain and again they cheered the "peerless leader," "the man of the hour!" "Would that we had eight more like him," they said, and from all sides one heard: "If he could only pitch, catch, bat and field at all and the same times we'd win." The crowds for once were fair and gave credit where it was due. It was delightful to see the manner it was accepted, too. I doubt if Cap tain Barrett knew there were people behind all he saw or thought was ball, ball, ball. . And the game? There wasn't any. It was really an exhibition. But , the queerest thing happened at its conclusion, when the score was tied they played another inning just for fun, but I left before it was over. department, arrived in New York tonight. With Mr. McAdoo were John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, and Charles S. Ham lin and William P. Harding, of the federal reserve board. Until far into the night they discussed relief meas ures with a group of leading bankers at what is regarded as the most momentous conference of its "kind held in this country in recent years. r , GERMANY AND FRANCE (Continued from Page One) in a century. For hours the cabinet was in council at White Hall and the whole country believed it to be wrest ling with the question of whether Great Britain will take up arms in support of her partners in the triple entente. No statement was made concerning the deliberations except that an an nouncement will be made in the house of commons on Monday. The government took three meas ures for defense todays none of them inconsistent with the policy of re maining outside the conflict, if that should be her policy. The naval re serves and naval marines pensioners were called jaut by proclamation and the territorials, who had just assem bled at the training camps for annual practice, were ordered back to their headquarters. The home secretary prohibited air flights over the - entire kingdom and territorial waters, ex cept by military craft. All these measures were purely defensive. The French embassy received the following message from M. Vlviano, the French premier:, "I hae just sent the following telegram to the French minister at Luxembourg: 'Will you inform the premier that in conformity with the treaty in London of 1867 the govern ment of the republic intends to re spect the neutrality of Luxemburg, as shown by her attitude. The vio lation of neutrality by Germany is of such a nature as to oblige France to take into account the care of her defense and. her interests. " 'This neutrality was established by the treaty negotiated and signed in London, May 30, 1867. Article II of it reads as follows: " 'The grand duchy of Luxemburg will be a state perpetually neutral." " 'The powers which sign the pres ent treaty declare themselves as bound to respect this neutrality and to make it respected by others. This neutrality is placed under the guar antee of powers which' have signed the treaty" Continuing the statement, the em bassy says: "The British ambassador at Berlin aBked the German secretary of state for foreign affairs whether Germany was prepared to respect the neutrality of Belgium. "The German secretary of state for foreign affairs declared he was not able to answer. "The neutrality of Belgium has been established by treaty signed In London; "The German ambassador at t. Petersburg notified Russia of the dec laration of war by his government when negotiations were pending be tween Austria-Hungary and Russia at the very moment when Austria Hungary . had declared that she was prepared to consider the matter of Austro-Serb conflict with Servla, or with a neutral power on behalf of "The German ambassador at Paris yesterday morning had an interview with the French prime minister con cerning the Austro-Serb conflict, and hnnt the decision reached by Austria-Hungary t consider the matter with Servia or with a neutral power speaking in behalf of Serria. In spite of this, on the afternoon of the same day, war was declared by Germany on Russia. "France was asked to tell what she would do In case of war between Russia and Germany, and the Ger man ambassador at Parlar began to prepare everything for his" "departure from : the . French capital.. "On July 31 Germany, called to the flag the last five classes' '.of her re servists. This she could do by means of Uie martial law proclaimed by Ger many, which permitted, her to keep the news a secret. Consequently, on July . 31 mobilization was going on in Germany. "lit spite of this, France waited until "August 1 at 6 ' o'clock in the afternoon to order a general mobili zation. This was done for the pur pose of making it clear that she was not ,the aggressive power, and also that she might be able to claim Brit ish support. "General mobilization was ordered in France on August 1 at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The first day of the mobilization began August 2 at midnight." , "The premier of Luxembourg pro tested to the German government," M. Vivlani's telegram continues, "and in formed the German ambassador at the embassy in Paris that early this morn ing Germans entered Luxemburg ter ritory' by the Wasserbilling and Re mlch bridges and marched toward the southern part of the country and the caoital. They sent armored trains with troops and ammunition toward this port. The French commissioner at Petit Croix, on the Luxemburg fron tier (twelve miles from Belfort), In formed the government that Germans opened fire on the French posts there. Two German cavalry officers have been killed at Rencerey, about six miles on the French side of the bound ary." German forces today began an in vasion of France without, so far as known, a declaration of war having been made. Two German detachments entered French territory, moving In the direction of Paris. One German force crossed the French frontier near the village of Cirey, be tween. Naticy and Strassburg, and an other German . detachment, probably the Twenty-ninth infantry, last night invaded the Grand Duchy of Luxem burg, neutral territory between Bel gium and Germany, and continued its march on French, the fortified town of Longwy. A dispatch from Brussels said there was good reason to believe this force, later tn the day, entered France. A German force of 20,000 men which came into France near Cirey, which is forty miles from Naticy, is reported to have been repulsed with heavy losses but this is not yet confirmed. . It appears Germany is taking the fullest possible advantage of her sup posed superiority in rapid mobilization oyer France. The--plan of the German emperor, according to military observers. Is to vanquish or attempt to vanquish France in the interval before Russia will be able to create serious trouble on her northern frontier. It is sup posed the Russian mobilization will take about three weeks. All telegraphic and telephonic com munication between Brussels and Luxemburg has been severed. Longwy is a fortified town of France on the Belgium frontier, for- My miles northwest of Metz, in Ger many. A trainful of German soldiers ar rived at the station at Luxemburg during the night. Troops seized the station and bridges on the Treves and T.-ois Viermes line in order to insure regular passage of ' military trains across the grand diichy. After these .seizures the soldiers proceeded to the barracks. The ma jor of the Luxemburg volunteers protested against the violation of the neutrality but in reply the Germans asserted that the railway belonged to them and that they had the right to do 'what they liked in Luxemburg. Indignation in Franco PARIS, August 2. The deep in dignation caused in France by Ger many's methods in beginning the war is voiced by the Temps, which says: "Up to the last moment the French and Russian governments had given Germany credit for acting in good faith: these no longer doubt that It is in ambush. . Russians, Frenchmen and Englishmen must stand united against, the . powers of brigandage, which have .. just been unmasked. "The British government yesterday informed the German, ambassador that England could not remain neut ral. We did not desire this war, but since it is forced upon us, with good heart we will wage it. , For forty years Germany has prowled around us, with the constant Idea of striking a. blow' with the minimum risk, but by prolonging the menace she taught Us our lesson. - . .''Germany attacks us now at an hour, when all our material and mor al forces stand in united array against her. ''The war that . is thrust upon us is a war of piracy. The French people with a magnificent union hurls Itself ,to the, fray as a single man." The lobby of the Chamber of depu ties was crowded today, with mem bers, many in uniform, all eagerly discussing the crisis. All agreed without distinction of party to vpte without discussion the measures the government , will ask for the defense ot the country in the face of the aggressive attitude of Germany which is now clearly manifested.

Come Down Tonight and See No Extra Admission NORTHERN ARIZONA NORMAL The summer visitor at Flagstaff, who has come from less favored places to enjoy the cool mountain breezes and the varied and magnifi cent scenery of this region, ought not to call his stay complete until he has paid at least one visit to the North ern Arizona Normal School. For more interesting by far than the cra ters of volcanoes, lava beds, prehis toric cliff dwellings, mile long caves, or even a Grand Canon that may perchance be in a land, must be its young men and women earnestly pre paring for the work of tomorrow. When these people, in turn, happen to be teachers of a still younger gener ation, our interest must deepen. We are just beginning to realize the tre mendous influence exerted by just the everyday school , teacher. That is why the really most important thing at Flagstaff .is the Normal school. Here are gathered many of the most wide awake and progressive teachers of a big state, studying that thKV may better grace the great and noble pro fession to which 'they belong. The business of preparing the teachers of a great commonwealth such as Arizona is a grave task. The .1 ' f , Northern Arizona Normal school has taken that task to heart, and, under the splendid leadership of its ear liest and able president, Dr. Blome, has seriously set itself to the prob lem of training real teachers for our public schools. That it is gloriously succeeding is not questioned by any one acquainted with the school The first thing that strikes the at tention of the visitor at this normal school is the air of busy activity about the buildings. Closer acquaint ance proves this activity to be very hearty and good natured. Perhaps the most striking thing about the Northern Arizona Normal school is the natural, spontaneous life of its students. It is much like a big home, where teachers and students mingle as a sort" of large family, devoted for the time being to educational pur suits. Most of the students live in the pleasant well regulated dormitories. Under the guidance of Miss Barber, ,who has charge of Bury hall, and Mrs. Robinson, the preceptress of Morton hall, both of them charming missions to leave at once. They are yet to be attached to the medi cal corps. In addition, the pope has given special authorization to young priests serving as soldiers to admin ister, ail sacraments. One of this vicars-general of the archbishopric- of Paris who returned from Alsace by the last train get ting through, said: "The people of Alsace-Lorraine are calm. Notwithstanding the burden of anxiety weighing on all hearts, an immense hope upholds and comforts them. I was in Alsace in 1870 and I saw preparations for war then, and the present situation cannot be com pared to that of that fatal year." fe Pirate of The Prairie" SCHOOL AT ladies. The girls of the school are taught habits of orderly neatness in household affairs, and the art of gra cious and ladylike behavior wherever they may be. In the men's doimitory the boys have the advantage of the real motherly watchfulness of, Mrs. Blome. One lad said t me last win ter: "I'll tell you, Mrs. Blouie has given me some straight talks better advice than I ever got at home. And I sure appreciate it, too." In the coming year, Mr. Rosenberry, the manual training teacher, will also be in the dormitory, and the influence of his sturdy manliness ought to be an inspiration to many a boy who needs good example, even more than wise precept. The school offers three distinct courses: The Normal course, which may be completed in five years by a I student entering from the grades, or Sin two yeais by a high school gradu ate, or even in one and one-balf years if advantage be taken of the summer school session; the academic course, which prepares the student for college entrance; and the commercial course, which is designed as special preparation for actual business life. Sir -r ! 1 ? 7 iFW Group of Students at .Main Entrance The training school is run in con nection with the Normal school prop er. There the candidate for a teach er's diploma must do practice work under guidance of trained critic teachers until he has gained a cer tain degree of proficiency in discip line and in presenting subject matter to the children. In regard to the work offered at the Northern Arizona Normal School, it is a matter of importance to say that every effort is made to offer the stu dent those things, that will best de velop : him, first, into an all-round man; second, into a good teacher. In doing , this, the school seeks to cor relate as much as possible the estab lished academic studies with the newer technical training In the prac-j tical things of life. Manual training, agriculture and domestic science, under the direction of skilled teachers, have become es tablished in the school curriculum, and few students complete their courses without at least an elemen tary knowledge of these practical subjects. A new departure for the coming year is the introduction of commer cial training. The special Work in this department will be conducted by a competent and experienced instruc tor. Typewriting, bookkeeping and shorthand, together with special busi ness English, will be essentials taught in the fourth year of the com mercial course. The object of this course will be to prepare students for practical business pursuits. Students who do not plan to teach" and are not looking forward to col lege training will find this work in business education of great value. Aside from the regular school rou tine, there are two literary societies organifed for the purpose of giving FLAGSTAFF students drill in all sorts of oral ex pression. Then there are, each year, two contests, one oratorical and one declamatory. Further work in public speaking and dramatic training is afforded in the different plays staged by the students. , . 4 Especially in basket ball has th Northern Arizona Normal school made itself known in athletics. Under Mr. Honn's coaching, the girls of the school have successfully defeated all comers, including the Tempe Normal school and the high schools of the Salt River valley for four consecutive years. The boys also have behind them an excellent tecord. Last year, with Air. Rosenberry as coacn, an ex ceptionally ,fa8t team was developed which won all but one of the games played. ... - Tennis is also a .favorite spoit. Two new excellent- cement courts have been, recently built and tennis enthu siasm is rapidly growing. Football and baseball also furnish a vent for surplus energy and it is hoped that next year something may be done in track athletics. The departments of the school are headed by enthusiastic and earnest . . -w teachers, who are united In their aims and efforts to make the North ern Arizona Normal school one of the really big institutions of the country. A big factor in, the sohool's- pro gress is the character of its head. Dr. Blome has built the Normal school from practically' nothing into what it now is. Besides being an able ad ministrator' and a 'capable leader of his facuityrwho are a unit in their loyalty tohim and his 'policies, he is unquestionably; one of the biggest teachers of the land. Fortunate, in deed,' is it for a normal school to have a man of such calibre in charge of Its professional work. Wherever Dr. Blome goesi he exercises the force of a magnet, drawing young menr and women to Flagstaff. Often students have told me .that they came, to the Northern Arlsona Normal school, t,hat they might take their educational work under Dr. Blome. If for no other reason, the Northern Arizona Normal school is a. healthful, wholesome place - in which to train young people because of . the atmos phere of lifeand progress that per meates the whole surroundings there. New .buildings "are constantly being erected, the student body is rapidly increasing" in size, 'new courses are being added, new faculty members j-come 1 with" each year everywhere is the spirit of growth. The fall semester opens August 11. A large enrollment is already as sured. A student from Douglas de clared the other day that everyone that knew the Northern Arizona Nor mal school had a good word to say for" it. "That's' why I came," he concluded. Such advertising is bound to bring results. Full particulars , as to expenses are given, in the catalogue of the school, copies of which WiU be gladly sent placed before the public, free for the asking. But an impor tant item of expense is so frequently overlooked by incoming students that special mention is made of it here. Railroad Rates The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company, Coast lines, and the JBanta, Fe, Prescott and Phoenix lmes offer a rate of one and one third fare to students attending the ' Northern Arizona Normal school. The students should purchase a ticket to Flagstaff, paying full fare and taking a receipt for the same. When the re ceipt is properly signed by the presi dent of the Northern Arizona Normal school, the person named therein is entitled to one-third fare on the re turn trip. The jiate of sale is August 8 to ll Inclusive. The date of return is .December 18 to 22 inclusive, or May 15 to 19 inclusive. The date for the sale of tickets to students enter ing the winter term is January 2 to 5 inclusive. These' tickets are good to return May 15 to 19 inclusive, 1915. .
