WILL CONSIDER NEW
ENTRANCE TO MEXICO

Definite action may be taken tonight
when the petition to open another
channel into MeXicali by lockwood
avenue is presented before the Calex-
leo city council. The proposal failed
to be heard at a previous meeting and
discussion of the merits of the prop
osition was continued until tonight.
Although it was originally intended
to urge the government to increase
the customs force and place an inspec
tor at the new ingress into Mexico,
the government will be unable to do
so. Attorney 0. V. Wilson, represent
ing the petitioners at Calexico who
are urging the new opening, wrote to
Collector of Customs Elliott at Los
Angeles as to what the governmen.
would do toward providing additiona!
customs inspectors at the proposed
avenue into Mexico.
The reply stated that the govern
ment would be unable to increase the
present force.
This fact, however, will not deter
the establishment of the new avenue
into MeXicali, if the Calexico city
council assents to the proposal, Attor
ney Wilson said.
The only obstruction preventing the
opening of the new channel is the
fence extending across lockwood ave
nue.. The barrier was erected by the
CaleXieo city council some time ago
and only through abrogation of the
existing order can it be removed.
According to present plans outlined
by Attorney Wilson, the present ave-
nue. into MeXicali will be converted
into route for traffic only, if the
lockwood avenue barrier is removed
and the new point of ingress will be
used exclusively for pedestrians.
The Mexican officials have agreed
to erect a customs house at the Rock
wood point of entrance and if the
government does not increase the Ca
leXico customs inspectors force, it will
simply mean that the new entrance
will have to be patrolled by the pres
ent force, Attorney Wilson said.

Turkish Report.

Constantinople, June 22.-It is of
ficially announced that the Allies have
vanly assaulted, using warships,
troops and aeroplanes, but have been
heavily repulsed. Artillery opened
the attack. The British charged brave
ly, but the Turks were well en-
trenched and used machine guns.
Many British were slaughtered and
the rest fled. The Allies used aero
planes to lombard the Turkish forts
and the infantry again advanced and
attempted to cut the entanglements,
but were repulsed.

Call On Bankers To Negotiate Settlement

The directors of the irrigation dis
trict today adopted the suggestion Of
the Press that business men be ap-
pointed to attempt to secure posses
sion of the irrigation system at as
early date as possible. In follow
ing this suggestion, the directors
asked the Valley Bankers Association
to appoint a committee. Their reso.
luton is as follows:
Whereas, this board, as we'll as the
public generally, has been disappointed
in that this board has So far been un-
able to acquire possession Of the irri-
cation system by which our valley IS
supplied with water; and
Whereas, We believe such system
cannot be acquired except either by
court proceedings, which has been de-
layed beyond our expectations, or by
a settlement out of court made with
the consent Of all creditors and stock
holders Of the California Development
Company, which consent this board,
after persistent effort, has so far
failed to obtai and
Whereas, this board now believes
that the only course left is to await the
expected decision of the Supreme
Court in the matter now pending be-
fore it involving such system; and
Whereas, at a meeting of the
Bankers Association of Imperial Val
ley, held on the 18th inst, these mat
ters were explained to such associa-
ton, and all of our negotiations were
detailed fully, and, Notwithstanding
such explanations, the bankers asso-
citation adopted a resolution which. al
though courteous in its wording, has
been and will be construed by many as
indicatIr" . telief in q minds Of
the bankers aforesaid that it is pos
sible at this time to obtain a settle
ment with the interested litigants
which will give the district possession
of the aforesaid system at once, and
without waiting for judicial determi-
nation or judicial sale; and
Whereas, the board has always
welcomed suggestions and advice from
all our citizens, and especially from
our banking interests, and is now anX-
ious to receive any suggestions thas
will result in any quicker action than
that contemplated by the board; now
therefore, be it
"Resolved, That this board requests
the Imperial Valley Bankers Associ-
alton to appoint from its members a
committee Of 3, who shall be author
lied by this board to undertake to OBJ
tain from the litigants interested in
the California Development Company
system a proposition by which this
district may acquire such system and
possession thereof by settlement.

ceeding and sale now contemplated,

in the three million ($3,00O,OO0) dol
lars which the board is authorized to
pay, and to be consummated, and pos
session given the district prior to the
decision by the Supreme court in the
matter
Resolved further, That should the
Bankers Association appoint such
committee to undertake such negoti-
ations, Imperial Irrigation District
will pay for all travelling and other le-
gitimate expenses of such committee
while engaged in such negotiations,
and its board further pledges its
hearty cooperation and support Of
any such proposition, if any such is
secured. The board wishes it distinct
ly understood, however, that it will
not, prior to decision Of the Supreme
court making such payment necessary,
enter into any obligation to pay any
claim, except that in consideration
thereof immediate possession of the
system shall be turned over to the dis
trict. Any settlement negotiated by
such committee within the limits
herein provided will be ratified by the
board"

SUBMARINES TO
END WARFARE
(By Herbert Quick)

"Personally,' says Mr. Bryan, 4
should like to see the use of subma
rines abandoned entirely
Is the submarine an influence for
war or for peace? Mr.. Bryan, /
think, overlooks the fact that in the
submarine lies the hope Of the ma
tions which are weak in naval force.
The submarine equalizes the game
of war between nations.
Germany has kept Britain's flee.
bottled up ever since the war began.
so far as offensive operations against
German ports or the German fleet are
concerned.
In the submarine area, peace has
prevailed between these fleets. It is
the enforced peace of terror. The sea
fights between British and German
warships have occurred mainly in re-
mote portions of the globe not We.
covered by submarine operations.
The fleets are paralyzed by the sub
marines. When any agency is shown
to be effective to paralyze such fleets,
no more Of them will be built under
any sane and honest naval policy.
Germany often boasts that Britain
is no longer mistress of the seas, and
= is true. Since the deadliness of the
submarine has been proven, no nation
is mistress of the seas. In so far as
the Allies rule the seas, their sway
can last only so long as their enemies
are unprovided with an adequate sup
ply Of submarines.
Invasions by water are a thing o
the past The submarine can neva
be made troop ship, but It can ar
will keep troop ships bent on hostil
ties off the seas.
Japan can never invade this coun
try; but Japan can keep us from TAX
ing troops to the Philippines or BRING
ing them thence.
We cannot invade Japan.
Germany cannot invade this eoun.
try.
No nation can ever again invade
any other nation by sea-provided a
many submarines are built from thu,
time as may be expected.
Submarines cannot fight one an
other, for the simple reason that they
cannot find one another. The age of
the submarine will be an age, not of
fighting but of a consciousness of
the ;mpossibility of fighting.
When once the uselessness is recog-
nized of warships floating on the
face, the submarine will be a sn ei4
for every maritime nation, out it ~
cease to be a sword There will he
nothing for it to strike. Therefore,
it will bring naval wars and naval
vasions to an end.
As the universal shield of the mari
time nations the submarine WI be tie
most potent agency for peace ever
known, for it will make the seas i'm
passable for troops.
The greatness of Wilson's mission
today lies in the fact that he stands
for the principle of forbidding the use
of the submarine as against merchant
ships.
Once this principle becomes estah-
lished, we may build submarines and
laugh at the suggestion of invasion
from the sea or of war with any no.
tions save those bordering on our from
tiers.
