estimated to be required for the work.
Mr.. Holt is of the opinion that the
federal government will not under
take this work, but that it might make
an appropriation to cover a part of
the expense if it was shown that the
people were doing all they could do.
He also said his companies would do
their part, and he thought the South
ern Pacific would contribute to the
good cause.
Mr. Hollis idea is that the people
must themselves assume this burden,
and he believes it can be best worked
out through a county bond issue, as
county bonds are more saleable than
irrigation district bonds.
If this could be laid before the leg
islature at the present session it
might still be worked through this
year and the work be done before

GERMANS CHECKED
ON EXTREME WINGS
GENERAL Won BUELOW is STILL
FIGHTING FOR BRlDGEHEAD
SOUTH OF SRlEDRlChSTADT

London. The Russians thus far
have blocked the Austro-German ef-
forts to force back the two extreme
wings of the armies of Grand Duke
Nicholas At the northern extremity
of the front that part of Won linden
burg's army commanded by Gen. Won
Buelow still is fighting for the bridge
head south of I'riedrichstadt, while
the forces under Gen. BONNER, who
broke through the Russian lines on
either side of Brzezany. Galicia, have
been checked at some points on the
Stripa River.
Along the rest of the front the Ger
mans claim to be making Roadway,
although some who got through the
forest region east of Bialystok have
suffered a reverse at the hands of the
Russian rear guard
The points of most interest, how
ever, are at the two wings. The Ger
mans near Friedrichstadt are well east
of Riga, and military experts here say
that unless the Russians can threaten
the Teutonic flank it appeals improb-
able that Friendrichstadt can be held
much longer without grave danger.
The threat against the other wing is
not so serious, as it is more distant
and the difficulties of the country are
great.
In the west the French continue ar
tillery attacks on the German lines
and concentration points, without as
yet any evidence OF a general often.

LAUNCH ANOTHER
PEACE MOVEMENT
CARDINAL GIBBONS, DEAN OF
COLLEGE OF CARDINALS CON-
FERS WITH WILSON.
TO COOPERATE WITH VATICAN
Details Being Withheld, and It 10
Stated at the White House the
President Refuses to Dis
cuss Subject

Washington - Cardinal Gibbons,
dean of the College of Cardinals, pre-
scented to President Wilson a conf
dental communication from Pope
Benedict, inviting and urging this
government to cooperate with the
Vatican and neutral nations to bring
about peace in Europe.
A conference on the same subject
was held later at the State Depart
ment between Cardinal Gibbons and
Secretary of State Lansing.
After his visits and confidential talk
to and with the president, Cardinal
Gibbons said:
Il think the prospects for peace
are Frightening"
This statement, expressing the judg-
ment of representative of the pope,
after canferring with President Will
son, is regarded here as indicating
that definite results so far as future
action by this government and the
Vatican are concerned are already
being achieved.
Cardinal Gibbons, the secretary Of
state and the president declined to
reveal the details of the pope's sug-
gestion. 1t was stated at the White
House, in fact, that the president
would not discuss the subject at all.
Cardinal Gibbons said:
81 only can tell you that | conveyed
to the president a message from the
holy father, and that the message re
lated to the subject of peace. The
message cannot be made public yet;
if l receive authority, | shall be glad
to make it public. The authority must
come from Rome and we will have
to confer about that.
II regard the settlement of the con-
troversy between the United States
and Germany as affording an excep-
tional opportunity for peace proposals
and as having placed the United
States in a most advantageous posi-.
ton to act in this direction
MY interview with the president
was most gratifying. 1t would, of
course, be improper for me to speak
in detail regarding the conference
with the president, but | may say the
conference was of very genial and
happy character. In a general way
Mexico was also discussed"

DEFINITE STEPS WERE TAKEN
BY FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
AND SECRETARY M'ADOO.
SPECIAL REDlSCOUNT LOANS
$15,ooO,oo0 as An Initial Deposit Will
Be Made in the Federal Reserve
Banks at Richmond, Dallas
and Atlanta.

Washington. Definite steps were
taken by the Federal Reserve Board
and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
to extend aid to cotton growers and to
clear the way for handling the fall
crop without last years uncertainty
and difficulty.
The board issued new regulations,
authorizing federal reserve banks to
give special rediscount rates on prom
issory notes secured by warehouse re-
ceipts for staple agricultural products.
with the restriction that member
banks which avail themselves of this
rate must not charge more than six
per cent to the borrower
Mr. McAdoo announced he soon
would deposit S5,O0O,OOO in gold as an
initial deposit in each of the federal
reserve banks at Richmond. Atlanta
and Dallas. Fifteen million dollars
more is to be deposited later.
The secretary said that if conditions
showed the need of deposits elsewhere
to aid in handling any other crop he
would extend similar aid.
The new regulations are broad
enough to supply to all staple readily
marketable crops, but it is we'll known
that the cotton crop is the one that
has given concern of late
The board announced that the re-
serve banks in Atlanta and Dallas al
ready had requested a redlscount rate
of three per cent on the sort of paper
approved in the regulations
The announcements followed meet
ings that have occupied the time of
the board and Mr.. McAdoo most Of
the last two days. The secretarv's
proposal several months ago of depos-
its OF government funds i'll Southern
reserve banks alone was not favored
by several members of the board, but
1t was not opposed during the recent
discussions. Some members indicat-
ed, however, that as the total cotton
crop probably would be worth about
$800,000000 they did not think $780,
100000 would go far toward hand
ling it.
