of State Bryan stated today that he
would give out an answer this after
noon to the inquiry of J. P. Morgan

any financial move that could pos
sibly be misconstrued by other gov
ernments.
While he has no authority to pre-
vent Morgan from giving aid to
France, Morgan himself has indicated
that he will not advance money to
France if he finds that the govern
ment here is opposed.

KING ALBERT PLAYS THE SAME
ROLE AS COMMON SOLDIER

Brussels, Aug. 15.-Always popu-
lar, King Albert of Belgium is now
the idol of the people. Clad in a sim
pie blue uniform, bearing no insignia
of his exalted rank, he moves from
place to place at the front in a high
powered automobile. His chauffeur
and a single aide are his only es-
corts. Few excepting the high Of
ficers recognize him. Others accept
him as a companion and give him
field rations and water as he re-
quests them in a spirit of simple COM
radeship. But the news of his move
ments is spreading and now all SOL
diers are watching for his coming.
Yesterday he tried to enter the field
hospital at the front. The sentry de-
manded the needed special pass. He
said he had none but that, as the
king, he believed he could enter. It
required a strenuous aide to get the
sentry to consent.
When held up by the sentries he
displays his military pass. 1t is the
same as all others with this excep-
ton. Under the caption "Occupa-
ton" appears this sentence: king
of the B~elgians."

CHAMPION OF MEXICO
 SEES ERROR OF WAYS

An anti-American incident which occurred in the Main street grammar school last week gives a rather clear insight into sentiment which is liable to be manifest among some of the MeXicon citizens here. Prof. Rose was amazed to find written upon the slate of a young descendant of our sister nation the words "Viva la Mexico.' The youngster was taken aside and given a nice, straight talk, enlighten- ing him upon the futility of such sen timent and upon the unpatriotic spirit expressed.
 His youthful enthusiasm regarding the Mexican situation is now quelled, and given a better idea of the worth and advantages of America, and the younster will some day be one of our most loyal citizens.

RIVERS AND HARbORS
 ARE CONSTANT DRAIN

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 27.- Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner Very frequently there are complaints from different parts of the country, because of delays in public work or dered by the federal governmet. There are at the present time 245 projects under way, calling for more than $34,- OOO,OO0, and, therefore, it can be un- derstood that the processes of all these great projects and the financing of the same through Congress, ire quently leads to delays that cannot be helped. The expenditures for rivers and harbors have increased materially in the past ten years. In 1904 the gov ernment spent $22,329, ,469.15, and this has been increased to about $3S,OOO,OO0 for the year 1914. The development of the country along the rivers has made this improvement a necessity, while the increase in the dimensions and draft of ocean-going draft, in oba- dience to an memorable law of econo- mics, has made it necessary to also increase the dimensions of harbor channels on our lake shores and sea coast.
 During the discussion of the rivers and harbors bill, Chairman Sparkmar of the committee told the House of Representatives that this growth in the dimensions and draft of vessels has not been confined to the immedi- ate past, but has been going on on for many decades and is likely to continue for many more.

W. ). HITLER MET 4
 TRAGIC END AT TUMCO
(From Mondays Examiner)

The news of the death of w. D Littler in Tumco at 12:00 o'clock Sun day night, reached Yuma early this morning.
 The deceased was employed as en- gineer's assistant at the Tumco mines and his death was the result of an ac- cident which occurred Saturday after noon at 400 o'clock. Left alone in the engine room, Littler was busy oiling his machinery when it is pre- sumed he stepped upon a swiftly-re- volving belt which moved close to the floor.
 He was carried one-half way around the circuit and when brought against the mouth of narrow chute through which the belt passed, the momentum of the moving machinery drew his right arm into the passageway and was completely torn from his body. He was unconscious when found, and was taken to the mine hospital and every possible relief rendered.
 Severe internal injuries were sus- tained which were recognized as fatal by the doctor in charge. An operation was performed and at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon Dr. ApJohn was sum- moned and all that human skill could do to lessen the effect of the acci- dent was done. At the time of his death, however, consciousness had not been fully regained, and he had not rallied from the immediate shock of the terrible accident.
 His mother, who resides in Oakland, Cal, was notified immediately follow ing the accident, and interment will probably be made in Yuma.
 The deceased was a member of the Yuma Elks lodge and had been in Yuma several years, employed as a bookkeeper in the E.. F. Sanguinetti department store. He had been in Tumco but a few weeks and was known as young man of excellent habits and of much promise, beloved by all who knew him.
 The Examiner extends it's sympathy to sorrowing friends and family in their bereavement.

TURKEY EGGS WERE
 SHIPPED THRU MAILS
The Calexico Chronicle says:

The CaleXicO Chronicle says:
 Shipping eggs by parcel post is the latest development in the turkey in- dustry in CaIexico. Postmaster c. c. Cockley scratched his head reflective ly Thursday when seven cases of high-priced turkey eggs were left at the local postiffice for shipment some being consigned to Denmark, Maine, clear across the American continent. Shortly before the local postoffice authorities had refused to accept a dozen eggs which had been packed in a shoe box for shipment, but after a thorough examination Postmaster Cockley became con vinced that the seven eggs would stand all the buffets they could get between here and Maine.
 This new development in the sale and shipment of high-priced settings of turkey eggs is permitted by the unusually strong box in which the eggs are packed. Huntington Me Kusick, who owns large turkey ranch near here, was the first turkey and chicken raiser to take advantage of the parcel post as means of ship ping eggs a long distance. Of the seven cases, which contain a dozen turkey eggs, several were addressed to w. s. McKusick, of Denmark, Maine, while several of them were ad- dressed to L. McDaniel, of Escondido, California.
 Never before in the history of I'm perial valley have eggs been shipped by mail from the valley, but from present indication a great many will be shipped in this manner hereafter.
 The cases which contain the eggs are made of heavy pasteboard. The outside is very thick and forms cov- CT for two drawers which are rein forced on the inside and slide in and out. The eggs are held tightly and the postoffice authorities here say that the cases could be thrown a num- Der of feet without even cracking one of the eggs.
 The principle advantage in ship ping eggs in this manner is that the eggs so shipped are generally setting eggs, are high-priced and are not shipped in large quantities. The boxes, with the eggs in them, weigh less than four pounds and it costs forty-eight cents to send a case to Denmark, Maine, and only seven cents to send a box to Escondido.
