 BANQUETED BY C0NFEREES

The two departing engineers, who were honored at a banquet by their fellow reclamation associates last night, will go forth to new works, considerably cheered, if they succeed in carrying away lot of the spirit and gaiety of the occasion of their last social get-together For it was a cheerful and optimistic bunch of men who met last night about the banquet board, and listened to the wellworth while speeches of some of the famous engineers of the service. Undoubtedly. the optimism of the en- tire meeting was crystallized in the words of President John P. Orme, of the water users association. the first speaker called upon by Postmaster E. F.. Roddis.
 Between 1896 and 1902 Maricopa county increased it's assessed valua- dollars. Between 1902 and now, the valuation has increased from nine to seventy mine million dollars It was the installation of the reclamation project that did it. Why shouldn't we congra tulate ourselves?

Germany Transmits Note to Britain Through United States Giving Conditions for Abandoning Proclaim ed War Zone on Seas
WJIHELMINA CASE
 BEING DISCUSSED
Suggestion Made Unless Britain Has Grounds Not Yet Advanced, the Ship Should Be Allowed to Proceed at Once

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-Tnree days remain before the German Ad- miralty proposes to carry into effect the proclamation ordering a submar- inc campaign on the enemy mer- chant ships and developments in the diplomatic situation moved rapidly through the medium of the United States, the custodian of the diplo- matic interests of the various bel ligerents.
 Count Von Bernstorff delivered to the United States, which was promptly transmitted to Great Brit ain, a note in which Germany offered ing enemy merchant ships if the re- strictions placed by the allies on shipments of conditional contraband and foodstuffs detined to the civil ian population of Germany were re rounced. Germany propose to put into effect the original proclamation adding also the strewing of mines in the waters surrounding Great Britain and Ireland
 The state department also instruct ed Ambassador Page to submit the British foreign office evidence given by the owners of the American steamer Wlhelmina to prove the cargo consists of foodstuffs consigned to non -combatants and not subject to seizure. The suggestion was made that unless Great Britain has snf- ficient grounds not yet advanced for doing otherwise. the ships should be permitted at once to proceed with her cargo to her destination.
 From the German point of view the Wilhelmina constitutes q test case on which revolves the entire question of feeding Germany. The German Ambassador here in re- cent note to the American govern ment pointed out that Germany mod flies it's decree so that important foodstuffs would not be taken over by the government. and suggesting American organiza tions or consular officers be appointed to supervise the distribution of imported food . stuffs as a guarantee that none of the American shipments reach the armed forces of German
