HOG RAISERS MAY
RECEIVE FEDERAL AID

That Imperial Valley will receive
favorable consideration in its fight to
stamp out hog cholera when Congress
makes apportionments for the fiscal
year, was the text of a letter re-
ceived by the Hog Raisers Associa-
tion from Secretary of Agriculture
Houston. Letters also have been
received from Congressman Kettner.
Congressman Stevens and Senator
Works, but, according to DR.. J. B.
Bell, veterinarian for the association,
they hold forth no promise, as any
aid the valley may receive will de-
pend upon congressional apportion-
ments.
The plan of the association is to
gain the services of two veterinar-
ians, representatives of the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry,
who will vaccinate hogs in the county
in an effort to stamp out cholera.
The serum will be furnished by the
government.

Storm in the East.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Chicago, with
snow falling steadily for twelve hours,
today is feeling the effects of the
blizzard that has been raging in the
West and Northwest. All traffic is
impeded and wire communication is
difficult.
Word from Omaha stated that rail
roads west of the Missouri river are
attempting to move several trains that
have been stalled in drifts in Nebras-
ka for the past twelve or fifteen
hours. In several cases farmers have
supplied food to marooned passengers
and it is not believed there is any
serious suffering.
The Ohio river is rising rapidly at
Cincinnati and the Union station there
has been abandoned, as it has been
every year during flood times. Trains
are dispatched from suburban sta
tions. Flood warnings had been sent
in ample time, and there is no suf-
fering and very little damage was
reported up to noon today.

Menace to Peace.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The German
admiralty DEGREES, declaring a war
zone around England and along the
north and west French coasts, was
discussed at cabinet meeting at
which Counsellor Lansing of the state
department was present in the alb
sence of Secretary of State Bryan.
A wide variety Of opinion developed
but it was stated that no instructions
had been given the state department
to make protest.
The conservative opinion was that
the United States would have mo
equity of action" unless a wrong
should be actually committed by a
German submarine against a vessel
flying the American flag.
1t was frankly stated that if an
American ship were blown I'D by a
German submarine tremendous con-
sequences would follow"
That the conditions created bv the
decree were considered of great i'm
portance to the commerce of the Unit
ed States was admitted. The ele-
ments of danger limited at by Ger
many, it is expected, will have a ten
dency to make marine insurance rates
for United States vessels soar.
The state department is at loss
to know on what Germany bases the
claim that there has been an unwar
ranted and deceptive use of neutral
flags by Great Britain. Neither the
department nor the British embassy
has any definite information to verify
the German allegation.
Ambassador Gerard was cabled this
afternoon to send to the department
the text of the DEGREES, what infor-
nation he could get as to the precise
limits of the zone and definite state
ment as to how the German navy in
tended to enforce the decree.
"It is manifest" said one of the of
ficials concerned, "that we can do
nothing at this nor at any time until
we know how the German submarines
propose to deal with American ships.
1t seems certain that the DEGREES are
not leveled at American commerce, as
they point out how that commerce
may be carried on through the North
Sea routes"

WAS FLEECED IN
CARD GAME, IS CLAIM

Alleging that he was inveigled into
a card game while he was in an in
toXicated condition and fleeced of all
his money, John c. Munson, through
his attorneys, Wilson & Frazier, has
filed suit for $155 against Leo How
ell, one of the proprietors of the Sad
die Rock cafe at Imperial. The case
will be heard Tuesday before Justice
of the Peace Smith of Imperial.
According to Attorney Wilson
Munson, on January 7, went to Impe-
rial, where he met Howell, having at
the time a considerable sum of mon
ey. A few convivial drinks led to
more, until Munson became stupefied
Then Howell suggested a game of
draw poker.
The game took place in a booth in
Howell's cafe, where Munson in a
short time lost his entire roll, failing
to win single hand. Munson then
was led outside and placed in an au-
tomobile, where, it is said, he col
lapsed, having been completely over
come by the effects of his drinking
bout.
According to persons who witnessed
the game and who examined the deck
of cards subsequent to Munson's ex-
it, the pack contained six aces.
The money lost by Munson during
the game is said to have been sent
to him by his parents in the East
to defray the expenses of visit
home.
Munson, in his suit Tuesday, will
be represented by Attorney o. v
Wilson.

Held Detectives at Bay.

Los Angeles, Feb. 6.-Armed with
a high power rifle and seated in a
jitney bus, R. A. Sturdy, aged 55, a
blacksmith, brother-in-law of George
E. Platt, millionaire dairyman, held
two detectives at bay today. He ere
ated reign of terror on East First
street and several chauffeurs mar
rowly escaped wrecking their ma
chimes by lodging the possibility of
being shot. Sturdy had been drink
ing heavily and stopped jitney at
the point of gun, demanding that
he be driven to Eastlake park. AL
ternately pointing the gun at the
driver and at the detectives who at
tempted to take him from the car,
Sturdy held the officers at bay for
several books. Detective Beaumont
effected a flank movement and Sc
cured the gun, overpowering him.

Japanese Seize Vessel.

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-The big
Norwegian freight steamer Christian
Bors, Captain Hille, was seized early
today by fleet of Japanese warships
200 miles off Japan. The seizure
was the result of alleged irregulari-
ties in the ships papers, according to
message received here. 1t was
turned over to the prize court at Sa-
sebo for investigations The Christian
Bors is widely known on the Pacific
coast, having been here, off and on,
for ten years. She was bound from
Shanghai to San Francisco, via Jap
anese ports, consigned to the Robert
Dollar Steamship Company.

BernstOrffs Interpretation.

Washington, Feb. Count Won
Rernstorff, German ambassador, to-
day in a statement declared it alb
surd to describe the German procla-
nation as a "paper blockade" Ger
many does not intend to seize or mo-
lest American ships laden with food
stuffs for the civilian population of
any country, the ambassador says. and
does not intend to close the English
channel to neutral commerce.
In the statement the ambassador
says: "There is nothing in the COM
munication of February 4 by the Ger
man admiralty with respect to the at
titude of the German imperial navy
toward the ships of the enemy or to-
ward neutral commerce. The COM
munication is simply a statement of
what has been since the beginning of
the war the attitude of the navies
Of all belligerent powers toward ships
of the enemy.
n lSW iHOuJilS ago I1e EnPllSn
admiralty proclaimed the closing of
the North sea. Germany does not pro-
fess to close even the English chan
mel to neutral vessels laden with food
stuffs for the civilian population of
the enemy countries. 1t is to be hoped
England will not make it necessary
to reconsider this attitude by seiz-
ing American ships like the Wilhel-
nina.
Germany does, however, announce
to the world that she proposes to con-
tinue to destroy ships belonging to the
enemy, and it adds notifications to
neutral powers that, on account of
the fact that British ships are en-
ploying neutral flags, according to
secret instructions now known to
have been issued by the British gov
ernment, bona fide neutral vessels
may actually be in danger"

New Recruits.
(By Franklin P. Merrick)

(By Franklin +. Merrick)
Paris, Feb. 6.-The recruits of the
1915 and 1916 classes have been
trained with thoroughness not pos
sible in time of peace because they
could be shown actual battlefields. In
order to fit the men for service in
the field they have been taken in
detachments to the front to observe
the conditions which prevail there.
They study the trenches and are
given practice in being transported
from point to point as they will be
in actual warfare
The men of the 1915 and 1916
drafts in the Department of the Seine
belonged mostly to 367 military soci-
cites and through these General Gal
lieni worked, because regular mobili-
zation had been disorganized. He
ordered a trial march, including a
trip to the field of battle north of
the Meaux. Here they made a study
of French and German trenches and
themselves dug trenches with the most
modern implements.
There were 1000 young fellows in
a party l observed. They left for
the Meaux by military train from
Paris at a. m. and returned from
the. east the following day. The en-
training and transportation were
strictly in conformity with military
regulations.
Upon their arrival at Meaux the
men were divided into five groups
and each was guided by an officer of
the general staff under General Chap
el, commander of the district, for a
visit to the captured German trenches
between Varreddes and Cue a
Tresmes.
After a cold luncheon at Verreddes
column was formed for visit to
the field of battle, and the men were
told by the officers of the recent sue
cesses gained at this point by the
French soldiers.
The return was made by way of
Panchard, on the MeauX, where an
encampment was made. The follow
ing morning the party left the MeauX
and made entertainments under the
direction of active officers. This
work done, the 1,600 young men,
forming in marching columns, re-
turned to Paris.
Perfect discipline was maintained
throughout the whole march. This
yas made easy because of the enthu-
siasm of the boy soldiers. General
Gallieni, who has since gone to AL
SAGE, was present in person to inspire
his men.

O'Brian, who then were camped west
of Dixieand on New river Under
sheriff Anderson and Deputy Young
left at once for the scene of the trou-
BILE.
Evidently having some intimation of
the raid under way, one of the men
fled before the officers arrived. The
other was taken into custody at the
tent where the stolen articles were
stored.
Baffled by the mysterious disap-
pearance of the second thief, the two
officers, after an intensive search, at
last discovered tracks where he had
fled across a cornfield. the footprints
pointing toward the river bed. In
the thick brush by the river the two
searched for the missing man.
Lying face downward in a depres-
sion in the earth and almost hidden
from view by surrounding vegetation,
the officers at last discovered the
object of their search and ordered him
to arise. Stimulating drowsiness, as
though he hgd been asleep, the man
rose to HE Ieet. He Was escorte4

route, it is said, making a full con-
fession of his completely in the crime.
Among the loot carried away by
the thieves was tool box, a gasoline
stove, cooking utensils and iewelry.
The stolen goods were carried to the
home of the two men in a wagon

CITY RECORDER
HAS LARGE FAITH

City Recorder r. B. Whitelaw's
faith in man is unspoiled. Last Mon
day laborer in the employ of a To-
cal company was arrested on charge
of drunkenness. He was hailed be-
fore the judge and landed a fine of
S5. But he didn't have the where
withal to gain his release, but prom
ised the recorder to pay the fine Sat
urday if he were allowed his free
dom.
With the opening of city court this
morning he appeared before the Judge,
laid down the fine and walked out.
"There's an honest person. de-
clared the recorder, as the man dis
appeared out the front door of the
city hall.

Engineer O.. X. Parker and W. w.
Peder, the latter accompanied by Mrs.
Pedler, are in the city on the first
important mission in which Los An
geles and this valley have ever been
jointly concerned. They come as
representatives of the commercial in
terests of that city, and especially of
the Chamber of Commerce. What
they propose is purely commercial
highway from Los Angeles to this
valley, with view to developing still
more intimately the commercial rela-
tionship of the two sections.
They point to the fact that River
side is already engaged in building a
paved highway to the Imperial coun-
ty line, and urge that on the Mecca
Beaumont route to Los Angeles there
will not be a grade of any Importance
and freight can be moved with ex-
pedition and safety.
These gentlemen promise that Los
Angeles will do all in its power to
build up an intimate relationship in
trade by aiding in the construction
of this road, but ask this valley to
cooperate with that city.
Local business men approached have
all given assurance of assistance in
carrying out the plans.
This visitation is notable as the first
time Los Angeles has taken steps
looking to tangible work in building
up such commercial relationship.
