tacked archbishop Daniel J. Mannlx.
who no-w Is on his way from the
I mted States to the British Isles
after after bavins been notified he
would be barred from Ireland by the
British government. The premier's
speech was virtually a reply to a
statement made public in New York
city by archbishop Mannlx on Jnly
29 In which he vigorously denounced
Mr. Hushes.
"Demonstrations in America favor
able to archbishop Mannlx." said Mr.
Hushes, "were carefully stase man
ased In a manner similar to that pur
sued In those arranged In Australia,
and the people who acclaimed him
there were Sinn Felners. possibly
leavened with Bolshevik! or other
wild fanatics. Archbishop Mannlx
does not represent Australia on the
Irish or any other question, and is
the acknowledged Sinn Feiner leader
in this country.
"When he arrived In Australia
seven years ago." the premier con
talnued. "Australia was freer from
sectarian bitterness than any conn
try in the world. Spurred by bound
less personal ambition and hatred of
Great Britain, archbishop Mannlx
has fanned the -dying embers of re
ligious bigotry Into a forceful blaze,
gathering around him every fanatic
alien and Sinn Felner in the coun
try. He worked Incessantly durins
the war to prevent recruiting and
worklns great harm to Australia."
Referring to an alleged threat by
archbishop Mannlx. "to deal with
Hughes" upon the prelate's return
to Australia, the premier said:
"He may, but, first of all, he has
to return."

?. 5. Officials Concerned.
Washington. . C, Aug. J. With
ha desoerate stteht of Poland em
phasized In dispatches foreshadQjring
the imminent fan of Warsaw, and
telling of the proclamation lr Polish
districts of a soviet government, the
position of the United States toward
the swift development of events in
Europe today engaged the serious
consideration of government offi
cials. Despite reiterated appeals to the
Dnlted States by Poland for exten
sion of moral if not material aid.
there has been no disposition shown
among officials to reflect a depar
ture of the Dated States of Its neu
tral position.
Officials have held that inasmuch
as the conflict originated froo
causes to which the BnKed States
was not a party, this country should
continue Its present position. Wheth
er the United States might be moved
to depart from this position In the
event of anything approaching a
crisis in the relations of Russia to
ward Europe officials refrained from
Indicating.
On one occasion at least, it was
recalled, this country was moved to
take a hand for Poland in insisting
that Czecho-Slovakla Impose no ob
stacles to transportation through her
territory of supplies destined for Po
land. This action, however, was de
fended on the grounds that tlie sup
plies were purchased from this coun
try by Poland prior to the outbreak
of hostilities with Russia.
Latest Information as to miliary
operations received by the depart
ment indicated that Blalystok, north
east of Warsaw, has been lost. The
Red array was reported to have
passed Bransk, southeast of Blaly
stok. The department dispatches also In
dicated that the Polish lines had been
stiffened. The advices contained a
report that two Bolshevik cavalry
divisions had been concentrated near
Szczudn considerably to the south
of Warsaw. Toward Lomza, on the
Narew river, due west of Blalystok,
the Bolshevlki were said to have
made progress.
Americans Ask Aid.
New Tork; Aug. 4. Twenty-five
Americans marooned in Moscow
have appealed to the state depart
ment through the charge d'affaires
in Stockholm for aid In returning to
the United States, it was stated by
two members of the Jewish joint dis
tribution committee on their return
from Moscow. The Americans told
them, the commissioners said, that
while other governments had ar
ranged for the return of their citizens
from Russia, the United States had
done nothing for marooned Ameri
cana Under Russia's communistic gov
ernment, they said they were forced
to distribute American relef supplies
through a commission, named by the
soviet government.

City Needs More
Water, Asserts
Acting Mayor
EI Paso faces the most serious
housing shortage this winter she has
ever known, was the warning issued
by R. C Sexnple, acting mayor. In a
talk he made before the Klwanis
club at Its weekly luncheon "Wednes
day noon in the Elks club. A water
shortage Is also Imminent, Mr. Sem
ple said. If means are not taken with
out delay to add to the city's supply.
The acting mayor explained for the
Kiwanlans the necessity of voting
the J1.00,$6 bond issue to be sub
mitted shortly, but stressed first and
most of alL the water needs. The
city will ask that ?500,6&0 be voted
for the improvement of the water
works system. The main objective
of the water bonds Is to drill more
wells under the rim of the mesa to
give the city several million gallons
more water daily. Highland Park,
Mr. Semple said, and some of the oth
er outlying districts, were In desper
ate circumstances, doe to the small
ness of the water Dices and the in
adequacy of the supply.
Sewer extensions, park Improve
ments, paving and street extensions
ara other things the city needs and
zor wnicn nonas wiu no asicea. Mr.
Semple said that bonds for xrater
wcrks improvement would not add to
the tax burden, but would In fact
ease it by diverting thousands of dol
lars into the general fund. Last year,
he said, was the first vear the water
works system had ever brought
money to the general fund. The
amount was $40,600. This vear the
sum will be $59,006, he predicted.
new streets win not add to the tax
burden, the city official said, for the
reason that new taxable values will
be added to the city. Park improve

view of the rapid growth of the city

keeping with metropolitan Ideals.

Army Truck
Hits Sprayer;
Four Injured
Four men were painfully Injured,
a horse was killed and the county's
spraying machine was demolished
Tuesday afternoon when an army
truck veered across the road and
crashed Into the sprayer and the men
operating It. JVltnesses of the acci
dent told county Judge E. B. McCHn
tock that the driver of the truck did
not stop, but speeded up his machine
and escaped.
Three of the Injured men were
taken to the county hospital suffer
ing" from severe bruises and lacera
tions. They are Luis Escanffla,
Rafael Gonzalez and Roman Proven
cio. Leandro Calzadillo also sus
tained painful Injuries but was not
taken to the hospital.
According to Judge E. B. McClln
tock. the men were spraying trees
along the valley road, southeast of
Val Verde. The army truck, wit
nesses said, was speeding but was
running on the right side of the road,
when it suddenly veered, as though
the driver had lost control of the ma
chine, and swung across the road and
Into the working gang on the north
side of the road. The men working
on the sprayer did not have time to
Jump to safety, witnesses said. The
horse was almost Instantly killed.
County officials said the spraying
machine originally cost the city S4W
but that since It was purchased the
value of the machine has tnereasea
considerably. The matter was taken
up with district military headquar
ters, and, according to Judge Mc
Clintock, will be brought to the at
tention of the military damage board
here.

broadly that prices are lower, we are now first toadvise you authentically that PEICES
ARE LOWER THAN THEY HAVE BEEN IN FIVE TEARS. We go a step further and tell
you that quality and workmanship are better, too. The manufacturer, himself, lowered the prices,
due to the fact that we and other wide awake retailers grilled this demand into the wholesale mer
chandising world months ago. We cannot prophesy what late Pall prices will be when it is nec
essary to send in re-orders the demand then will be great and the manufacturers are apt to take
advantage of the demand. Fortunately, though, we bought liberally at the early low market-prices
the pick of the lot. We in turn advise you to make selections for your Fall and Winter wardrobe
now, while assortments are complete and varied and selections are choice, and, above all, while
prices are so very low. Hundreds of coats, suits and dresses here for your approval.

manship and that the prices are lower than they have
been in five years.
