MULES NOW POPULAR
WITH THE ALLIES

Imperial Valley is becoming popu-
lar territory for stock buyers for the
Allies. Representatives of the Muir
ply Mule Company of Los Angeles,
after a week spent at Calexico buying
stock, are now in Ell Centro and have
already bought number of heavy
draft animals.
Mules, too, are coming in for their
share of demand The heavier type
are being more readily disposed of to
the dealers to be used as pack animals
in the war machine.
A mule, as a rule, is considerably
mora expensive than a horse, but the
additional outlay of cash is offset by
the fact that the mules are used by
the Allies as pack animals and are
therefore liable to enjoy longer life
than horses used in actual warfare
and subjected to even a greater risk
than the soldiers.
The company which is buying stock
here now is said to have bought a
large number of horses of the heavy
type already. =.

GET DISPENSATION

Notification of the dispensation
granted to the FL Centre lodge of Elks
was received by J. f. Davis today
from j. Stanley Brown, who is in Los
Angeles, where he presented the mat
ter Eefore the grand lodge in session
there. The local lodge, Mr.. Davis said
today, will probably be fully organ
lied within the near future.
Already so Elks in the county, men,
bers who have already paid their en-
trance fee and who are members Of
the organization elsewhere, have en-
rolled in the lodge here, which is now
assured.
Members of the B. p. O. f. here
who have been desirous of establish
ing a lodge in this city have been
working for the cause for almost a
year. The preliminary steps, includ-
ing a census of the city, have all been
completed now, and Mr.. Davis believes
that the lodge will be fully organized
within a short item.

Desperate Fighting.

Paris, July 13.-It is announced
that 35 French aeroplanes have sue
cessfully raided Vigneulles Les Pat
tonchatel, an important German stra-
tegic base.
Despite a gale that threatened to
capsize the biplanes, the aviators
braved the artillery fire and swooped
low, dropping III bombs. Quantities
of munitions were destroyed and all
French raiders regained their base
safely.
German attacks in the "Labyrinth'
region caused fierce bayonet fights
underground, and the Germans at
tempted to destroy the "Labyrinth, )"
artillery firing being preceded by a
hail of gas bombs by Germans wierdly
masked. They then delivered a gen
eral onslaught, but the French shell
crossfire repulsed the attack. Later
the Germans attempted to force the
dark "Labyrinth" tunnels and bloody
fighting in subterranean passages fol-
lowed.
The Germans attacked in Apremont
forest, hurting grenades and following
with bombardment, but were repulsed.

FIRE BELL TO BE
USED TO CALL COP

Plans are under way for a new
method of summoning a city officer,
but Marshal McFa1den is taking steps
morning. The new method will con-
sist of a single tap of the fire gong
and will serve to call a city officer
in the event that neither the marshal
nor his deputies are at city hall. The
method will prove especially valuable
at night, for during that time officers
on duty are usually patrolling either
the downtown or residence districts.
At present the telephone at the fire
house is used exclusively for fire calls,
but Marshal McFaddn is taking steps
today with the phone company to re-
arrange the service so that it may be
used either as an alarm or to summon
an officer.
There are only 3 officers on the city
police force who are engaged in active
duty. During the day two officers
are employed and during the night the
city empl one officer. Because OF
the large area to be patrolled, only
a small part of their time is spent at
the city hall and in the event of a
hurry call some delay might be occa-
stoned in seeking them.
With the Inauguration of the new
system the bell can be heard in all
parts of the city and the alarm will
serve to call an officer without delay.
A red signal light operated from the
telephone office has been in effect for
some time and with the arrangement
of the bell signal methods for sum-
moning an officer will be doubly eff
fective.

TRAIN TO BLOCK
STREET NOLONGER

Although the Southern Pacific at
present will not build new depot
to replace the present structure, it
has eliminated the traffic problem,
caused by the evening train when it
blocks Main street for the discharg-
ing and receiving of passengers and
the loading of express. R. B. Moore
who recently conferred at Los Ange-
les with w. H. Whalen, general su-
perintendent of the Southern Pacific
announced yesterday that the railroad
will construct a loading platform
north of the depot so that express
shipments may be loaded and unload
ed without causing a portion of the
train to block the street.
In the meantime the train will draw
up to the depot, clear of the street,
each evening, he said. Instructions
were issued to Agent O. P. Smith of
this city to rearrange the stopping
place of the train so that in the fu-
,ture the street will be clear to traf-
fic at all times. The order was in
dited during Mr.. Moore's stay at Los
Angeles and became effective Satur-
day evening.
In the past it has been the custom
for the train to halt for almost ten
minutes each evening with the rear
coaches extending across Main street
and traffic is effectually halted du-
ring that time. The move was made
to clear the street in the fear that
the blocking of traffic along Main
street might prove embarrassing in
case of a fire on the East Side.
