Soldiers a Menace.
Specifically the American forces
were withdrawn at the urgent appeal
of General Carranaa, first chief of the
constitutionalist army, who is in
charge of the executive power in Mex
leo City. Through Paul Fuller, per-
sonal representative of President Will
son in Mexico, General Carranaa set
forth that the presence of American
troops, instead of being a safeguard
against further revolution and peace
with the United States, constituted a
constant menace to friendly relations.
The Mexican chief contended-and
he was supported by Generals Villa
and Obregon-that the Mexican people
would not understand the continued
presence of American troops on Mexi-
car soil, and would be bound to cher

Trade in the Republics at a StandstiII
Extends to Observation-Disclosures
u. S. for Credit.
New York.-'North Americans do
not and can not appreciate the terrible
predicament the South American re-
publics are in as the result of the Eu-
ropean conflict. There has been a
complete paralysis of trade in all the
republics, Credit has been complete
ly wiped out and merchants are un-
able to place orders, as all business
heretofore has been done with Euro
pean firms
Conditions in Latin America were
thus summarized at a conference of
the consular representatives in this
city of all the Latin-American repub-
lies, who met at headquarters of the
Pan-American States association to
consider commercial conditions in
their countries due to the wal in Eu-
rope.
The only possible relief for these
conditions. according to the sentiment
expressed at the meeting, lies in ex-
tension of credit by United States ex-
porters and manufacturers. 1t was
unanimously agreed that the opportu-
mites for North American exporters
and manufacturers to engage in South
American trade were rel attractive
even though the question of meeting
the immediate demand might be diff
cult to solve.

IMPERIAL COUNTY
WILL PLANT RICE

After thorough investigation into
the climatic conditions, soil possibih-
ties and general adaptability of Im
perial valley, S. Christensen, pioneer
rice grower in Butte county, who has
heen in the city for several days,
announced yesterday that he would
lease or purchase forty acres of land
in the valley for the purpose Of con-
Quoting experiments in rice culture,
fe cling positive that Imperial county
assessed every requisite for the sue
cessful growing Of rice.
Mr.. Christensen planted the first
acreage in Butte county, which see
tion produced last year 91,000,000
pounds of rice, which sold at an aver
age of 21A cents per pound. Over 800
varieties were tried out and the
Wataribune, Japanese variety, was
finally selected as the most adapta
tle to California.
Butte county had $4,000 lcres in
rice last year and has long been rec
cgnized as one of the formidable COM
petitors of foreign or southern
grown rice. Mr.. Christensen collab-
Grated with the Unit ed States gov
eminent for several years in an at
r. mpt to eliminate all varieties not
suitable to local climate and soil. 1t
requires six months to mature the
Wataribune, which is more prolific
in yield than the Italian grain, that
coming to head in five months.
81 firmly believe that we can get
two yields per year in Imperial val
ley. Rice is a grain until it is about
eight inches high and then it is pure
ly a water plant Too much water
or too little will kill the plants be-
fore the eight-inch stage is reached,
but after that it is necessary that
plenty of water be on hand. We
have irrigation in our county, but
it is not so successful as it might be.
