WAR PRISONERS
FACE STARVATION
(By Carl Ackerman)

Berlin, April 80 Via the Hague)-
Thousands Of war victims in Poland
are facing starvation. The govern
ment survey shows that in many
places the present food supply is prac-
t'cally gone. The imperial govern
ment is considering relief measures,
but there is the greatest difficulty on
account of the difficulty in securing
food from outside of Germany. The
American Red Cross is endeavoring to
give aid
Carleton Gibson, head of American
relief work, has issued an appeal
through the United Press to Ameri-
cans for aid. He asks all who can to
send parcels of beans, corn, rye and
flour, addressed to Carleton Gibson,

British Dissatisfied.
By J. W. T. Mason)
(former European Manager of the
United Press)

!
(former European Manager of the
United Press)
New York, April simultaneous
ly with the opening of the land cam
palgn against Constantinope, a de-
termined effort has been started in
England to compel the resignation of
Winston Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty. The failure of the naval
attack on the Dardanelles is the os-
tensible reason for Churchill's unpop-
ularlty, but, as a matter of fact, the
real cause is cumulative and relates
to popular dissatisfaction over many
naval incidents during the past nine
months. Nevertheless, the fact that
the newspapers begin at this precise
moment to say publicly what Eng
lishmen have long been saying in pri-
vate about Churchill is indicative of
a feeling of pessimism regarding the
success of land operations in the Le-
want. If an early victory had been
anticipated the recent blunder Of the
admiralty would not be held up to
scorn.
Suggestions, scarcely veied, are
appearing in the British press that
the Constantinople campaign could
be long and tedious and it's success
uncertain. This attitude, of course, is
partly accounted for by the disap-
pointment which followed the expecta-
tions aroused when the first Dardan-
elles bombardment began, nine weeks
ago. But it may be caused by the Sc
cretly circulated knowledge that the
British war office is taking chances
with An inferior force of men. 80
There have been so many disastrous
miscalculations since August and so
has the power of the enc
my been underestimated that feeling
must prevail to some extent that the
latest land operations against the
Turks were undertaken too adventur-
ously.
But the British government itself
may have concluded that the Germans
will eventually abandon France and
Belgium as a ransom for their block
AIDED foreign trade. Under this cir
cumstance, and this only, will enough
troops be sent to Turkey to make the
fall of Constantinople probable

opinion secret, however, and with the
directors of British public opinion at

with infantry and artillery. Many OF
the Germans rushed from the trap

BOAZ DUNCAN ON
VISIT TO VALLEY

BoaZ Duncan, bondholder of the Cal

the city, and, as usual, is very COM
municative regarding his relationship
to the c. D. Co.
What can you tell us regarding
your mission here?" he was asked by
the Press, and he responded promptly

Imperial Valley real estate, and wish
more than ever that | had some plon-
ey available for investment here"
We thanked him for the ready re-
sponse to our question, and then, by
way of variety, asked:
"What can you tell us, Mr.. Dun
can, about the purpose of your trip
to the valley?" and again he prompt
ly responded, saying:
81 have been wondering whether
politics would interfere at all with
the rapid improvement of the money
situation"
Naturally, the Press again extended
its sincere thanks for his prompt re-
sponse to our query.
Incidentally, wire order was sent
to Los Angeles for clam opener,
and if it arrives before Mr.. Duncan
leaves the Press may yet be able to
get an interview.

100000 Sacks Increase Over
Former Barley Estimates

How many sacks of barley are there
in Imperial Valley?
A few weeks ago the buyers esti-
mates were 100000 sacks. Now the
estimates range from 100000 to ,000,-
coo, the lower figure being the most
conservative estimate made and rep
resenting a gain of 100000 sacks in
estimates in a month.
The reason for this increase is that
the present crop is developing into
the biggest yield ever known in the
valley, indicating good profits foi
