Effect of Warning Unknown

Washington. June 5.-The effect oi President Wilson's warning to the fac tions in Mexico still is unknown to the United States government, None of the chiefs has made reply. Evidences of a desire on the part of the Villa zapata forces to discuss terms of reconcilia" ton with the Carranza element, how ever, have not been lacking.
 A coalition of the elements which originally composed the successful constitutionalist party in It's campaign against General Huerta would meet with early recognition. according to the pre- vailing view in official quarters here.
 The attitude of General Carranza has not been clearly defined. but from all available information he intends to press his military campaign in an ef- fort to dominate the situation by force

BRITISH MAKING | HEADWAY AGAINST TURKISH POSITIONS
Combined General Offensive Begun on Gallapoli Penin- sula-Submarines Are
 Active

London, June 5.-(1O,30 p. m.).-A dlis- patch from MityIenc that a combined general offensive against the Turkish positions began yesterday and Winston Spencer ChurchiII's statement at Dun- dee that the allied forces are within n few miles of victory, is taken as m indication that things are moving a little more quickly on the GaIlipoli peninsula where the Anglo-Freach troops are fighting for positions whic h will give them command of the Dard- anellcs.
 These operations have been necessarily slow. After landing. the first allied forces had to be supplied with necessary srtil- lery and endorsements to enable them to attack the Turks. who occupied very strong positions and have been delivering repeated attacks on the British and French lines.
 Nothing official has been received from either side for several days, but dis- patches from Athens state that the allies have repulsed all the attacks, the last ot which, against the Australians aud New Zealanders on Monday resulted n very heavy Turkish losses.
 A successful ending to these operations would be joyfuIly received here. as. in ad. dition to the heavy losses sustained by the land forces. the warships which are supporting them are in continual danger from German submarines. This, O. course, would mean an end to Turkey sc far as Europe is concerned.

 ''As on the last occasion of a Zep- pelin raid, the newspapers have been forbidden to publish any details of places visited or any damage done. The natural result has been the spreading of many rumors, which we are glad to say are mainly unfounded.
 The safety of the country Is the supreme consideration and it is regard ed by the authorities as necessary that no hints shall be given of the localities reached by the raiders or the amount of damage they did.

RUDE TELLS OF
ASPARAGUS CULTURE

George V. Rude. superintendent of
the McPherrin ranch near Imperial,
spoke upon asparagus culture in I'M
perial Valley. lie declared that as
paragus in Imperial Valley can be de-
livered from field to car for as cents
packed crate of "a pounds, and that
each crate will bring from $500 to
$1,000 in the Chicago market. He de-
clared that early starting of the
grass" in Imperial Valley is highly
necessary to the successful growing.
The earliness, tenderness, size and
commercial value of the produce de-
pend principally on rapidity of its
growth he explained further, and
this is materially promoted by the
richness of the soil The best soil in
Imperial Valley for asparagus, Mr.
Rude said, is deep, soft, sandy old
alfalfa land. plowed deep in the fall
preceding planting and left in the
rough state during the winter. Much
depends on the fertilizer, he said.
Asparagus was first planted in I'm
perial Valley about 1905. The chief
variety in the valley is the early pur-
pie French Argentenal asparagus.

Rejecting the plan worked out by
Probation Officer Swanson, DR.. F. H.
Carter and Architect thinner, the
board of supervisors this afternoon
ratified a resolution authorizing the
expenditure of $500 for county hos

of Ell Centre. Ten iron cots will be
placed in the building when it is fin

probably be appointed this afternoon,
will take charge of the institution.
According to the plans sketched in
the resolution, the supervisors intend
to make the hospital nearly self-sus-

Second Peremptory Note
Is Forwarded to Austria

Austria's future course. 1t saws in
substance. that:
The Imperial and Royal Government
OF Austria-Hungary cannot expect the
United States to continue its present
friendly diplomatic relations with
that country unless it accepts the prin-
ciples governing submarine warfare
as agreed to by the United States and
Germany.
From the same source it was def
nitely learned that the United States
in its second note flatly rejects all
proposals made in the Austro- Hungar-
ian reply looking to discussion of law
or facts.
The United States, it is understood,
will not submit further evidence in
snbstantiation of its charge that the
Ancona sinking was an act of wanton
Neither will it engage in
a change of views as to the "particu-
lar points of law against which the
commanding officer of the submarine
is alleged to have offended" to quote
the language of the Austrian reply.
Secretary Lansing definitely an
nounced that the United States rested
its case on the evidence submitted by
the Austrian admiralty itself.

interesting picture and gives one a

any amount of reading could do. 1t

of the firing line and shows batter

of State Lansing Saturday night
State department experts immediate.
ly began coding it for transmission
to Vienna. 1t will be put on the wire
as soon as the eoding is completed
which will be late tonight or early
tomorrow morning
High officials of the government
announced that it was "the strongest
note' sent by this government to a
foreign power since the war began.
Stripped of diplomatic verbiage, the
note reiterates the peremptory de-
mands previously made and flatly no.
titles the Austro Hungarian govern
ment that unless the Ancona attack is
disavowed diplomatic relations can
not be continued.
In only one particular does the note
fall short of an ultimatum. No time
limit is fixed in which the demands
must be met.
Only change in front by Austria,
retreat from what officials charac-
terize a "truculert attitude" an ex-
preston of willingness to admit the
illegality of the Ancona attack and
discuss reparation, can avert break,
officials said tonight.
At the White House and State De-
partment it was gravely admitted that
the Ancona case raises the most Sc
rious diplomatic situation that has
confronted this government since the
war began.
Secretary Lansing, after working
well into Friday night, submitted a
draft Of the second Ancona note to
PresidentWilson Saturday Morning. It
was announced at that time at the
White House that Secretary lansing
would confer with the president du-
ring 1.-The day. :. ss..1 II
Later, Secretary Lansing said he
did not expect to see, the president
He stated that he had given the last
word,i in, the draft prepared and would
not change it unless the president
ordered notifications. When the pres
ident left on his honeymoon without
discussing the note with Mr.. Lansing
it was considered certain that the dras-
tic draft of the note had been ap-
proved.
From authoritative sources it was
learned that the note as drafted by
Mr.. Lansing demands:
Disavowal of the Ancona act.
Reparation for the American lives
lost.
Punishment of the submarine COM
mander.
These were the original demands
made in the first note. To this is
added the clause that may or may
not be an ultimatum, depending on
