Radius Of Action 800 Miles.

Radius OF Action 800 Miles.
For this work the United States navy
wants an aeroplane with Il radius Of
action of at least 800 miles, this dis
lance being selected because it is the
average distance that Il torpedo boat
destroyer can make in a nights run in
an attempt to locate and attack With
torpedoes the opposing fleet. Thus the
security of the main fighting unit from
secret attack at night will be assured
by such an adequate and efficient air
t1eet as the navy seeks to create.
1T is proposed to equip the navy areo-
plane with wireless. Thus the enemy
fleet once located. the air craft may sig
nal back its position. Long range Wire
less is not necessary for this purpose,
as it is assumed that the d]estroyers
will form an inner protecting circle
around the battle fleet. through which
Il message from air scouts can be re-
layel to the fleet.
1t is an established fact that subma.
rines can best be spotted. either when
running on the surface or submerged,
by observation from the air. \ submu-

naval war will find submarines accom-

defensive II offensive operations
against it undertaken for the protec-
ton of the home fleet.
In this connection it is the plan not
only to use lcstroycrs against the sub
marines, but also to invoke the aid of
dirigibles. \. dirigible once given the
approximate location of a submarine
may proceed to the place indicated and
find it again. whether it is running
above or beneath the surface. The dir
igible is slower than an acceptance, bur
it has, ON the other hand, Il capacity
for lowering over Il given spot whirl,

These operations require for their
success. of course, an Acroplan" fleet

PREDICTION MADE
THAT CARRANZA
WILL GUST CANTU

The unequivocal prediction that Mr..
Cautu is but "A traitor to the eyes of
AIr. CarrauZa and his cause, and he
will never be retained i'm his presnet
position" is conveyed in a letter to
the Press from Fernando Nillasenor of
7ul West Thirtieth street Los Angeles.
The communication contains further
prediction that there Will be n terrible
struggle in the kerry near future Mr.
NUlasenor does not state over what the
conflict is to take place, but he prob
ably means over the possession of MeN
icali in the event that Cantu and Car
rluZa cannot agree.
Colonel Cautu has established
stable government as governor of BaJt
California and while his allegiance has
been with villa, il ts believed he VIII
recognize Carrapza i'm order TO per

Whether Nenustiauo Carrauza, as de
facto president of McNico, Will appoint
Colonel Cautu as his representative in

tured, but some of those who have
been following the trend of affairs III
Mexico closely incline TO this belief
They point out that IT, as they nave
said they viii, villa and other Mexican
leaders unite against CarranZa. the

of that under his control and will well

STAGE RATE WAR
IS NOW BOOMING

An overnight bear movement in the
stage market has torn down the usual
fare maintained by cars plying be
tween the valley and san Diego to
$3.50 for one way and $5.oo for the
round trip.
Some of the leading stage lines are
taking part in the price-slashing com
bat, which, they say, has been precipi-
tatod by line started by party of
san Diego automobile men.
Beginning their service at $3.50 for
"A trip t. the valley, local stage men
say that the San Diego line paid com
mission of $1.0O to the ticket sellers,
which reduced the actual fare to $3.50.
"They cut into our business to such
an extent that we were forced to lower
our prices to compete with them one
stage operator said, and the topping
movement in fares is beginning to be
apparent with several stage compa-
mics.
The present rate war has lowered
the fare to San Diego to price which
is as low or lower than it has ever
been before.

Over Balkans

London, Oct. 10 Most grave appre-
hension prevails throughout England.
France and Italy through the turn Of
the Russians are making little head
way, as the Allies are doing on the
west and on Gallipoli peninsula and
as the Italians are doing in their strug-
gle with Austria. But none of the Al
lies seems willing 10 furnish the large
force desired u aid the Serbians in
resisting the drive of The Teutons
southwark.
The new Balkan campaign came to
the fore still more prominently when
the announcement that the Bulgarian
troops had invaded Serbia was made.
Thus far few details have been re
ceived Of this movement, which has
been generally expected.
The speech of former Premier Veni-
zelos in the Greek chamber of depu-
ties is regarded in England as favor
able to the cause of the Entente Al
lies. The declaration of the former
premier that it was no longer a ques-
war, but merely when she should do
so, was made with the approval of a
majority of the chamber
The former premier told the gov
eminent plainly that only SO long as
his policy was followed would il re
ceiye his support.
Detailed information is lacking con
corning the progress of the Servian
campaign.
The Germans assert they are ad-
vancing steadily to the south of the
Danube, although they make no spe-
cific mention of the amount of ground
gained or the points taken.
Unofficial dispatches from Nish state
that the Servians have checked the
German advance a. several points ON
the Danube. i'm some cases throwing
back the invaders across the river.
In other directions they are said to
have driven the invaders out of Ser
Wan villages taken in the first as
Saults
On the eastern front the Germans
still are hammering ut the positions
before DVinsk, their latest effort being
10 force the Dvina river, 10 miles
above that city.
Elsewhere Russian forces are attack
ing fiercely. particularly i'm eastern
Galicia. Here they are reported to
have won a considerable victory.
All accounts of military observers
testify 10 the accuracy and efficiency
OF the Russian artillery, which is now
demonstrated beyond a doubt to have
recovered from the handicap caused
by shortage IF ammunition.
The failure of the Germans to cap
ture DVinsk after Il months fighting
is characterized i'm England as eVi-
dcnce of remarkable regeneration OF
the Russian forces. General lvanofi
has regained more than half the
ground evacuated after the loss OF

ONE obs &c TION IS
BLOCKING INCLUSION
OF 1l9, ,000-ACRE TRACT

A written objection to the inclusion
Of 10000 acres of land in the irriga
tion district blocked the acceptance of
the territory by the directors of the
irrigation district at the meeting this
morning and with the objection still
unretracted at noon the board ad-
journed for a further consideration at
the afternoon session. Part of the land
is now under irrigation and, while some
is believed to be "A little high to permit
water being put upon it, the land for
the most part can be transformed into
an irrigated area.
Thirty-tive signatures have been af-
fixed to the petitions, which Secretary
Berry found conformed II the law, but
because of the objection filed by Chas.
Gillett of HoltYille, who is said to own
10 dcres ia tlF@tr&Dt Of 10000 acres,
it Is probable that the petitioners will
have to resort to some other means to
obtain the inclusion.
An election to determine whether the
land should be included in the district
is one recourse that is ut the disposa;
of the petitioners, but it is apparent
that the board is not anxious to see
this move made on account of the at
tached expense.
Ne official statement has been made
by the board, but Director Bennett of
Brawley expressed himself as anX-
IONS to avoid an election IL possible
The inclusion of this land at the
time the tax rate was fixed, he said,
would have reduced the rate from 80
cents to % cents, rs the owners of
the 10000 acres would have been
called upon to contribute their share
through taxation, to the maintenance
of the district.
The filing of several more objections
by land owners who do not wish to

trict. has temporarily stopped the pro-
e-ress of the board. Protagonists in the
