IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

"A pretty fair idea of the havoc
wrought in the rural mail service OF
Iowa by Bungler Burleson may be
gained from the fact that 1874 mail
routes IN the state have been discarded
since July l. while fully so per cent OF
the routes remaining have been adj
versely affected by the new orders.
points out the Manchester Press. AT
least one route in every county has
been abandoned. and in some counties
five or six. This is a specimen OF
democratic economy which shows the
party's utter incapacity for the con-
duct OF governmental affairs. But with
the return of the republican party to
power. following next years election,
some consideration will bes hown the
farmers of the country"

CALIPATRIA WITHDRAWN
LANDS SOON TO BE ON MARK EFT

I. A. Johnson of Calipatria, after
talking with government representa-
tives who have been in Imperial Val
ley, not only investigating surveys,
but the withdrawn lands, advises
that in the very near future some Of
the finest land of Imperial Valley,
which was originally withdrawn on
account of the Yuma project, is to be
thrown open again to settlers.
1t seems there are a few entrymen
who filed on their land previous TO
withdrawal who will be given some
priority right, but from men who
know there seems to be about 10 or
u per cent of the fine lands around
Calipatria, between the Salton sea and
the High Line, inland and the Third
Standard, that are going to be thrown
open. The exact scheme is not ye.
knoWn-whether the government will
cut down to 80-acre tracts; >,hether
it will auction it off, or how it will
be done-but the government has en-
gineers investigating.
Parties are going to Calipatria al
most daily, and on Sunday especially,
and go out from there in automobiles
looking at these lands. There are
going to be some luscious plums for
somebody, and these lands have water
from the canals and laterals of No.
8 water company flowing on all sides
of them. No. 8 company is very anx-
ious to have the government open
these lands, so the great volume OF
water they have brought through the
North End will all have users in the
near future.
The merchants and the citizens Of
the new baby town of Calipatria are
very anxious to have these lands filled
with actual settlers producing crops,
as it will increase the volume of busi-
ness for Calipatria. This reopening
of the withdrawn lands is very liable
to cause a rush to Calipatria.

Thaws BOthering.

London, April 16.-The spring
thaws are becoming a vital fac
tor in the great conflict raging in
the Carpathians. Everywhere the
roads are bad, according to today's
Petrograd advices. and the progress
which had been anticipated by the
Russians has been lacking, but the
delay is believed at Petrograd to be
only temporary.
Berlin goes even so far as to say
the delays of the Russlans have com
pletely exhausted them in the attempt
ed invasion of Hungary.
"The Russian attempt to use the
Przemysl siege army to force an in
vasion of Hungary has failed" was
the positive statement made at Ber-
lin.
"The enemy's efforts to break into
Hungary by way of the Lupkow sad
die, east of Dukla pass, have been
blocked since the Russian attack near
Stropko was definitely stopped. The
Russians, therefore, attacked to the
east. They were repulsed with heavy
losses near Kozlova."
On the other hand, Lemberg dis
patches to Petrograd today asserted
that the battle for possession of the
Uzsok railway and pass, while some
what retarded, is fought with great
fury. The Slavs are reported press
ing in upon the Teutons from the
west, along a road leading over the
mountain crest from Volosate. The
Germans, according to this report,
have dynamited a tunnel near Eianki.

thus admitting they have little hope
of taking the offensive again in this
region.

war office reported the progress Of
hostilities as follows:
Between the Meuse and the Mo-

more than isolated engagements.

CHAPTER P. E. O.

Yesterday was a day the memory
of which will remain ever green in
the minds of those who were privi-
legged to be present at the organiza-
tion of Chapter A. v. p. E. O. Sis
terhood, Ell Centre. Some persons do
not know much concerning this order
for women, but are told it had its
origin some 80 years ago in a col
lege town of Iowa. Seven choice
young students who were desirous of
banding themselves together in an
order stronger in it's purpose of mu-
tual uplift, true sisterly love and
wholesome pleasure than any other
then in existence, formed and incor-
porated the p. E. O. Sisterhood. They
little realized how well they build
ed, for from members it has grown
to over 10000. The same care in
choosing its members as existed in
the original chapter still exists, con-
sequently in places where the work is
known a woman is justly proud who
is privileged to wear the 5-pointed
gold star with the mystic letters "P.
f.. O."-the insignia of the order. A
sufficient number of members have
resided in Ell Centro for some time
to form a charter, so yesterday Mrs.
Patience Beatty of Los Angeles, state
president, and Mrs. Dessa Faultz of
Santa Barbara, state organizer, came
to do the necessary work. They were
met at the morning train and escort
ed to the home of Mrs. House, wife of
Professor House of the High School,
where they partook of dainty break

with its centerpiece of golden pop
pies. At the time the guests were
seated the yellow posies were still
asleep-they would not be so rudely

fingered over the final course and
chatter and laughter grew, one yellow
head lifted and opened a smiling face,
then another and another, until The

What the War Moves Mean.
(By J. w. T. Mason)

United Press)

(Former European Manager for the
United Press)
New York, April 15.-Following the
announcement that fighting has been
resumed in Bukowina comes an Of
ficial statement from Vienna that
the Russians have been checked in
the Carpathians. This suggests an
other failure of the Russians to as
sist in the task confronting the Allies
on the western front.
Hungary is again saved from the
invasion which the Teutons dreaded
For the time Budapest is safe and the
plains of the Magyars are secure
against Slav devastation.
Few details have been received con-
cerning the month of mountain fight
ing, so the cause of the Russian de-
feat is uncertain. 1t is probable, how
ever, that it is partly due to the de-
lay in sending the Przemysl army,
released by the fall of that fortress.
to the Carpathians. The appearance
of the PrZemysl reinforcements in the
Carpathians was not announced until
a fortnight after the capitulation of
the fortress. During this interval
the Germans were rushing new corps
to the defense of Hungary. The Rus
SLAMS were outplayed in the realign-
ment.
The circumstances arraign Russian
leadership even more severely because
the advantage of transport was with
the Slavs. The railways on the Ga
lician side of the frontier were more
available for rapid concentration than
the Hungarian lines. The former, un-
der control of the Russians, may be
compared to the German strategic rail
ways in East Prussia. On the Hun
garian side there is no conveyance
of the railways, which run from diff
ferent directions through the widely
separated passes. The Russian gen
eral staff had the advantage to which
Petrograd attributed Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg's victories. Yet the
Slavs were unable to properly use Il
and did not duplicate Won Hinden-
burg's tactics anywhere. 1t is unfor-
tunate for France and England that
leadership is still so woefully lacking
in Russia. The Slavs' third Hungar-
ian campaign is ending before it has
really begun.

KENNEDY SENTENCED
TO TWO YEARS

J. f. Kennedy, convicted recently
on a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon, was sentenced to years
in San Quentin by Superior Judge
Cole this morning. Kennedy frank
/, related to the court much of mis-
turbulent history.
Testimony introduced at his trial
disclosed the fact that he had been
convicted on similar charge some
time ago and sentenced to 18 months
in prison.
Kennedy, in his assertion to the
court, related the incidents which led
to his downfall. Prior to his first
experience with the law he had lived
with 3 brothers and the stabbing of
one of them as the outgrowth of a
dispute over the settlement of a bill
was the climax of celebration in
which all of them had participated
Kennedy declared this morning that
one of the brothers had gripped him
by the throat and held him while a
second brother sought a policeman.
Entreaties to be released proved un-
availing and Kennedy snatched up a
knife and with a backhand blow in
flicted a wound in the face of his
captor.
Before sentence was pronounced
this morning Kennedy protested his
innocence and after the court had con-
cluded he was led away still asserting
his innocence.
He is so years old and declared that
he had been victim of booze.

Moving Pictures i'm Sunlight.

New York, April 14.-The summer
open air moving picture theatres will
soon give afternoon performances as
well as evening sessions. Albert Os-
wald Buechner of Zurich and Antal
Fodor, a Partisan, have now invented
a device which makes possible moving
pictures in bright sunshine. 1t has
lust been shown here for the first time
in the perfected form. This new in
vention means great increase in the
exhibition of moving pictures, leaders
of the industry here say.
The light in the new device comes
from behind the screen, instead of
from in front. The projecting ma
chine is set fairly close to the screen
and so only about one-third to one
half the power now used is needed.
The projecting machine is the same
as in the dark room exhibition. 1t is
the screen that does the work. This
is a secret composition of chemicals,
white and translucent, but not trans
parent. Minute square corrugations
cover the surface. The screen some
what resembles a drumhead.
One may approach within a foot OF.
the screen and see the picture with
out distortion. This means every seat
in the front of the theatre will now
be desirable. Colored films show up
especially well.

Headquarters of the British Army,
Northern France, April 14.-The
Germans are firing shells marked
"Made in the United States" against
the British. They have been doing so
ever since the American military at
taches were withdrawn from Ger
many.
1t is generally understood that the
American attaches were withdrawn
because the Germans repeatedly
called to their attention the fact that
the Russians were using American
shells. The situation became so en-
barrassing to the attaches that they
found it necessary to leave. Then,
almost as soon as the attaches had
departed from Germany, British Off
GERS noted that the Germans were
using shells apparently Of American
manufacture. They bear the mark Of
"R. Stock and Company"
There is a sufficiently large collec-
tion of these shells at the British
headquarters to establish the fact
that the Germans possessed a consid-
cradle supply of the supposed Amer
lean ammunition. Whether they are
using the shells so as to indicate to
the British that their navy is not pre-
venting the shipment of ammunition
from the United States to Germany,
or with the intention of creating crit
icism of the United States in England,
are questions as yet unsolved.
There is no doubt that the ship
ment of ammunition from the United
States to Germany ended almost as
soon as the war started, owing to the
activity of the English fleet. The
shells the Germans are using were,
therefore, either sold to Germany be-
fore the war, or were not made in the
Unitd States at all, but have been
falsely labeled.
