COMPLETE STORY
IN ONE VOLUME

Since the eyes of the entire world
are now focused ON that little narrow
neck of land which connects the two
Americas, the natives of that part of
the globe are beginning to wonder if
anybody has ever before known of
their existence
Willis j. Abbot, the author of the
new book on Panama and the canal,
takes his readers back to the year
1900, at which time it is said the
first Europeans landed at Panama
He describes the people of the 18TH

activities; their sports and pastimes.

trations are rare and are to be found
only in this book. Beautiful large

the book, and these are reproduced
in splendid full pages from water

character contains such wealth of

There is a worldwide interest in

abreast of the times. Realizing this
situation, The Imperial Valley Press

affairs. tonight endorsed Glynn and
pledged his support In the govern
ment's campaign for reelection.
Following the announcement from
Tammany Hall that activities Of that
organization will be confined solely to
Manhattan, It Is believed here that
Malone's letter Is an indication that
the fight within the democratic party
against Murphy Is to be dropped and
that a united front may be presented
In the coming campaign. Malone also
endorsed Ambassador Girard for Unit
ed States senator.
Governor Glynn held an extended
conference with VIM. F. McComb here
today, endeavoring to pursuade the ma
tiona, democratic chairman to assume
the craftsmanship of the state organi-
zation. He left for Albany without
McComb's final answer. but expects

Glynn is extremely anxious to have

ton though the latter expressed the
opinion that the same result could be
reached II President Wilson would

Of their rifles. Finally the en-
envy, who fought with Q des-
peration that has called forth
the highest encomiums from
every French officer here who
knows what took place, was
compelled to retreat, leaving
hundreds of dead and wound
ed on the field.
The German defeat is de-
clared here to have been COM
plete. AS a result, officials de-
clare it is unlikely another
general offensive movement
will be undertaken. But wheth-
er the Germans will now re-
treat to their new lines that
have been established inside
Of the Belgian frontier, or
whether they will try to main
tain a stubborn defense along
their present lines, only the
next few days can tell. Their
losses have been appalling.
The allies too, have lost great
masses Of men. While it is ex-
planned here that in an opera
ton Of the present magnitude,
decisive gains can only be Sc
cured by the sacrifice Of many,
it is also privately stated that
the tolls in lives in the fighting
Of the last four days will stag
ger France when it is possible
to let the entire truth be
known. Whole regiments
and they the finest in the
service have been decimated,
losing in some cases more
than two-thirds Of their
strength.
The loss among the French
officers continue to be all out Of
proportion to the number en-
gagged. As a result, the new
British units which include
the Canadians, New Zealand
and the Australian contingent
and the Indian troops who are
still enroute, will be doubly
welcome, as on them great de-
pendence must be placed.
