Los Angeles to Tap
 Border|and Route

Unabic to ''pu, over" its snowbound northern Arizona route against the sunny. open all the year Borderland route. Los Angeles is arranging to con. rect with the BoFdcrland
 For years Los Angeles has fought the Bord,rland route, because as al present laid out. it takes tourists from the east first to San Diego. then to Los Angeles. The Los Angeles automobile dealers and the members of the Automobilc club of Southern California. have boost ed the so-called "Oid Traiis road which does not trail the old trails the Lincoln highway and any other road that did not contemplate reaching San Diego before il reached Los An geles. but every winter these roads be come impossible while the Borderland remains open.
 ! Still showing the smallness of is position in fighting its neighbor, Sar | Diego. Los Angeles has al last come to its bacon, as expressed by R H Rinehart. president of the Fl Paso Au- | tomobile club, and is now arranging to tap the Borderland in the Imperia! [ valley and make drive for the traffic direct into Los Angeles. To do this. Los Angeles is planning to build road along the Southern Pacific railroad di rect to the Imperial valley to connect with the present Borderland road at Fl Centro.
 The Borderland now turns toward San Diego at Fl Centro. Los Angeles would build a road from Fl Centro north to BrawIey. then take the road straight towards Los Angles, running along the south bank of the Salton Sea to Mecca, then following the Southern Pacific railroad on the south to Los An geles. through Coachella, Indio, Indian
 Won, Palm Springs. Banning. and Beaumont into Redlands. From Red lands to Los Angeles there is a fine road.
 he trade of the Imperial valley" IS given as reason for lhe conctruction of this road, but it will tap the Border land route just the same. The Los An geles Examiner of last Sunday printed a map of the proposed new road. con trasting 1t by ''circuitous route by way of San Diego" and accompanied il with the following article:
 Decisive action will result in hun dreds of thousands of dollars being add ed to Los Angeles trade is expected to be taken by the chamber of commerce immediately. following the filing of a report by o.

 The physical conditions to be met and the financial aid necessary for the tapping of the fast developing upper end of the Imperial valley will be con tained in the Parker-Pedder oommuni- cation"

BELGIUM December "S.-A Belgian
officer returning with his men from a
week in the trenches along the User
was asked by one of his colleagues,
whom he met on the road from Nieu-
port to Furnes, how things were going
in front. "Oh," he replied, "all right.
but it isn't exactly picnic you know.
That is exactly the answer 1 felt like
giving today when i returned from Il
few days gypsying in West Flanders.
1t is difficult to know where to start
in relating my impressions. 1t seems
as if for four days l have sat in huge
moving picture theater and watched
one film after another being reeled off,
at the same time listening to an eX-
tremely eloquent lecturer.
How and why I was able to wander
from village to trench and from trench

of the word refers to character, not
to appearance).
The most interesting place in the
line along the User these days has
been the village of Styuvekenskerke.
Ii lies on the side. i.e., on the left
bank, of the User. The main road
from Dixmudc to Pervyse runs about
half a mile to the west of it, and the
railroad about another half mile far

Sians. Tuesday morning some of our
advanced patrols ventured close to the
village. and, not seeing any life. there,

the village was 'retaken" by the Bel

have taken a great number of extra
men to guard it at night against sur
prise attacks, so the officer in charge
retired at sunset into his own lines

Fallen Walls on All Sides.

ON all sides we were surrounded by
blackened bricks and burned wood,
fallen walls and broken furniture
Finally, we arrived near a cellar door
and the mystery was soon solved The
commandant met me with all the cere-
mony and welcomed me As if he had
been in the library of his house in
Brussels. II am sorry" he said in ex-
cellent English, TO have TO receive YOU
in this improvised fat. but cest la
guerre.'
And the cellar offered certainly a
curious picture. Fourteen soldiers sat
around a makeshift barrel table, at the
head of which-on a barrel-our officer
had presided. We had evidently inter-
rupted meal. An iron bedstead, with
planks and few punches of straw,
took up one corner; tier of KNAPP
sacks and some more straw lined the
opposite wall. An old fashioned grauio-
phone had been rescued from the ruins.

Take Down English Sign.

Wednesday morning the Germans
were occupying the village again for
the day, but this afternoon the Bel
gians might have had their tea there
but for the sudden interruption of busi-
ness of the only patisserie. The Eng
1ish sign, Tea served at all hours,
was still intact. We took it down, and
now it is heading the entrance to one
of the sleeping trenches mile back.

1900 feet from each other, and l have

ed at the siege of Antioch that the
very existence of the army was Inn
perilled.
In the year 1899 the Crusaders al
last came into sight of the Jerusalem
that was their goal, the city upon the
hill that has impressed itself SO re-
markably upon the history of the
world. For month the Crusaders
battered desperately at the strong
walls, at last they hacked a passage
into the city Not even then did re-
slstance cease and the conquerori
literally rode through rivulets OF
blood as they galloped through the
historic streets Of the city.
In Jerusalem and on the Asatic
shore OF the Mediterranean the lead
ers OF the crusade carved out princi-
palities that they ruled over for many
years, their work made easier by the
intermlnable civil wars and feuds oil
the Mohammedans.
From the very dawn Of history AS
Ia had constantly threatened to
overwhelm Europe and not since the
far-off days Of Alexander the Great
had Europe seriously menaced the
great nations OF the east. Roman
armies had conquered parts of west
ern Asia, but with the collapse OF
tn eempire the pathway to conquest
seemed closed.
But with the establishment Of the
Crusaders in Asia Minor 1t must
have seemed to men Of that age that
such secure foothold had been gain
ed in the continent that Asia would
now be on the defensive. Revenge for
the ravages Of Huns, Magyars and
Saracens appeared attained. But the
conquest that had been made at such
terrible cost Of human lives was con-
temporary, for by the year 1144 the
Moslems had taken one Of the I'M
oprtant cities that they had lost. The
Second Crusade undertaken in retail
alton in 1147 by the German and
French Kings, was one OF the most
dismal failures known to history.

A few months after the tattered
host of Peter the Hermit and Walter

Asia Minor. These were the barons
the knights and their men-at-arms,
about 10000 in number, who were
to revenge the miserable tragedy OF
the Peoples Crusade.
No kings marched with this impos-
ing army, but the warriors were the
flower OF European chivalry gather
ed from all parts Of the continent, but
especially from sOuhtren France, Lor-
raine and the Norman duchies In
France and Italy. With banners fly
ing and their coats Of mail glittering
In the Asiatic sun, they presented a
striking contrast to the ragged fol-
lowers OF Walter the Penniless.
The Mohammedans were quickly
made to realize the differences be-
tween disorganized and poorly arm
ed mob and a well-trained and fine
~ equipped army. The capture OF
one city in Asia Minor and the de-

The State Should work done under

about which complaint has been made
by some county officials.
The books Of each county should
be exported under state auspices, as
was done this year. 1t is the right
way because the state authorities are
disinterested and 1t may be presumed
the experts will get the facts. When
experts are employed by a county
court there is a chance favoritism may
be shown and the exporting work be
influenced by considerations other
than the public good. When a clique
OF some sort is in control of county's
affairs il must be obvious that it is
poor business to let that clique hire
an expert to pass upon their own do
ings.
The fact complaints have been
made by different county officials re-
garding the work Of the accounting
department during the past year does
not necessarily mean the work was
poorly done. II may be the complaints
are made because the work was well
done and no favors shown. But II
the work was not well done the rem
edy lies in improving on that work
not in changing the system. By the
very nature Of things this account
ing work may be handled more eco
nomically when done under a state
department and more disinterested
work will be obtained.
II the present accounting plan is
done away with and return made to
the old way OF checking up county off,
cials il will be a distinctly reactionary
step. The fact county affairs were
not properly checked up at regular
intervals by disinterested experts is
one Of the reasons why taxes have
been rising and why CRAFTS became so
rampant in many OF our counties.
II the present legislature with its
professed ambition for economy and
efficiency takes this backward step it
will demonstrate that those in control
have poor conception Of the prob
