Surrender Of Paris
Is Apparently Near

THERE is IN THE NEWS OF
THE GREAT EUROPEAN WAR
TODAY AN INTIMATION THAT
THE STRATEGY OF THE FRENCH
AND ENGLISH is THAT BY
WHICH A FEW OF THE MASTER
MINDS OF WARFARE HAVE WON
GREAT ISSUES-THAT OF STEAD
lily FALLING BACK WITH SOME
RESISTANCE, BUT AVOIDING A
DECISIVE BATTLE, UNTIL THE
ENEMY IS LURED FAR FROM
HIS BASE OF SUPPLIES. THAT
is THE STRATEGY WHICH HAS
BEEN FOLLOWED TO THE PRES
ENT, BUT 1T WAS PRESUMED
THAT ON REACHING PARIS
THERE WOULD BE A CHANGE
AND THE ISSUE WOULD BE
STAKED ON A GREAT BATTLE.
THAT NOW SEEMS IMPROBABLE,
BUT 1T IS MORE LIKELY THAT
AFTER THE ALLIES HAVE COM
PEELED THE GERMANS TO TAKE
THE FORTS ABOUT PARIS THE
FORMER WILL AGAIN FALL
BACK, SURRENDER THE CITY
AND COMPEL THE GERMANS TO
GO STILL FURTHER FROM THEIR
BASE OF SUPPLIES. THE GER
MAN LINE OF COMMUNICATION
is NOW ABOUT $50 MILES LONG
AND is ALREADY STRAINED AL
MOST TO THE BREAKING POINT.
SHOULD THEY BE COMPELLED
TO ADD ANOTHER HUNDRED
MILES TO THAT AND STILL BE
UNABLE TO RELIEVE THE,
TROOPS IN PARIS TO RUSH TO
THE EAST TO CONFRONT THE
RUSSIANS THE GERMAN CAUSE
WOULD SEEM TO BE IN A BAD
WAY.

Conkling Makes Report
On Washington Situation

However, even if it is so amend
ed and the Rivers and Harbors bill
passes this session, which is very
doubtful, the data obtained will not
be available for a year.
"We then considered the advisable
ity of an emergency resolution like
that of 191O-1911 when Engineer
Ockerson spent that million on the
river. We found that stood no chance
whatever unless asked for by the De-
rartment of the Interior itself as
an emergency matter. We took that
I'D with Secretary Lane and he re-
fused to consider it an emergency,
hut told US that whenever an appro-
rriation bill for our purpose was re-
ferred to him for recommendation ne
would act favorably on it within "a
hours.
eve were, therefore, put to the me-
cessity of simply having Representa-
tive Kettner introduce bill and let
i! take its. course. The Chairman OF
tie appropriation committee says
there is not a quorum of the commit
tee in the city and that he cannot
get a meeting before December.
"When December comes Represen-
tative Kettner again will introduce his
bill. 1t probably will be amended to
include some work in Arizona. After
the committee acts on it, it will take
it's place on the calendar and prob
ably will pass, and then go to the
Senate for similar action there. 1t
cnly carries 100000, as that is all
we are warranted in asking for un-
der General Marshall's report. 1t
also is quite likely that the bill at
some stage will be amended by pro-
viding that such sum shall only be
available provided Imperial Valley au-
thorities eYpend the same or a lar
ger amount This is the almost uni
versal requirement.
at, therefore, appears to me that
the chance of getting assistance from
the government is good, but that it
most likely will be only assistance
and that WE MUST BE IN CONDI-
TION BEFORE JANUARY FIRST
TO HELP OURSELVES.
81 am more than ever of the opin-
ion that the Irrigation District bonds
are necessity"

PRESIDENT APPEALS
FOR MORE REVENUE

(By International News Service)
Washington, Sept. 4.-President
Wilson asked Congress today to pass
measure to raise $100,000,000 adj
Citional revenue through internal
taxes. He addressed joint session
Of the Senate and House and stated
that during August there had been
falling off of $10,500,000 in Gus
toms. He pointed out that con-
tinuation Of this condition would re-
suit for the current fiscal year in
loss Of from $6O,OOO,OOO to $1OO,OOO,-
900, due, he said, to decrease in i'm
ports, owing to the extraordinary ex-
tent of the industrial area affected
by the European war and not to tariff
reductions.

MeXicali Affairs Take
Attention of Officials
Of Two Republics

There is every indication that the
governments of the two republics
have taken cognizance of the affair
on the border wherein the surrender
of Mexicali was demanded by Colonel
Anaya, acting without credentials,
and supposedly in the interest of
large American cattle and land own
crs on the peninsula of Lower Cali
fcrnia, Mexico.
Troops A and K, First cavalry,
arrived in Calexico Wednesday even
ing, having passed through Ell Centre
carly in the evening on their way from
Tecate, and it is apparent the gov
ernment intends to greatly strength
en- the patrol on the border.
Colonel Cantu, commander at Mex
icali, has received from General Vii
Ia an endorsement of his policy of
refusing to surrender the town with
out credentials.
1t appears that the whole trou-
BILE IS an outgrowth of the increase
of the export tax on cattle from Mex
Imperial Valley press., 1914-09-04

leo from So to $40 a head and the
determination of the cattlemcn below
the line not to pay that tax, but to
bring several thousand head of cat
tie into the United States in defiance
Of the Mexican authorities.
A telegram to the Press from Los
Angeles says:
General Carranza has ordered Gen
eral Obregon fully to investigate the
alleged revolution" at Mexicali Of
General Enrique Anaya, self-pro-
claimed governor of Lower Califor-
ria, and take what action he consid-
ers best.
With the arrival in Los Angeles of
a copy CT this announcement, came
{, letter to Adolfo Carrillo, constitu-
tionalist consul, from General Anaya,
the gist of which follows:
81 have not left Los Angeles, al
though you do not know where l am
l am not a bad man nor a conspira-
tor, as l have been painted lately.
| swear allegiance to Carranza and
wish to follow his orders"
Imperial Valley press., 1914-09-04

Anaya's letter was written on Ho-
tel Van Nuys stationery and mailed
at o'clock last night, at a time
when the general was supposed to be
on his way to 'Calexico or to Mex
leo City to see Carranza.
1t is expected that the fate of Mex
icali-and of Anaya-will be known
within forty-eight hours, as General
Obregon, who is Strengthening out
small revolution tangles in Northern
Mexico for Carranza, probably will
give it his immediate attention, it is
said.
A copy of the report of Carranza' s
representative, who investigated the
Mexicali "revolt," now is in posses
sion of General Obregon. This
charges that Los Angeles capitalists
are backing General Anaya and that
they wish to smuggle cattle across
the American line from Mexico, an
act they could easily accomplish if
MeXicali was in charge of one who
favored them. General Anaya indig-
nantly denies this.

Exclude from the child's diet all
made Dishes" rich sauces, salads
and fried foods. Limit the fat to that
secured from milk and egg and from
the butter and cream used at the
table. If this course is followed there
is little danger of serving to much
fat. The Importance of this injunc-
ton can not be overestimated.
The objections to such foods as
pastry, fritters, escalloped Dishes. and
rich salads are three: First, they in
troduce the most indigestible sub
stances into the diet, heated fats and
other foods thoroughly mixed with
heated fats. Second, it is impossible
to use such foods without introduce
ing much more fat than is thought
best even by those who make liberal
estimates. l have not uncOmmonIy
found the fat running UP to twice
the amount suggested by any student
of dietetics as desirable in bill of
fare that seemed quite ordinary. This
was due to the use of butter and 9TH
er fats in cooking and of salad oil.
The use Of complicated dishes
makes it almost impossible to get
even an approximate idea of the fat
that is being served without long cal
culation, while with plain, Unmixed
food materials the problem is quite
simple.
