The action of the New Mexico people is bound to
have unfavorable effect the development Of the

generous appropriations by congress- to the total Of at

water shut off, the crops dying because Of the refusal
Of the New Mexico to pay the very reasonable

water, the committee viii naturally conclude that if
the much touted "rch and productive" lands IN this
valley cannot stand charge Of SOC per for water

that the appearance Of harmony may be restored
and the details Of minor disputes may be settled later

through creating hopeless division Of interests.
It is probable that the differences can be adjusted
by tactfu mediation, particularly If it be found that
they have arisen out Of Misunderstanding

SUBWAY CAVE-INS
TO BE INVESTIGATED

New York, Sept. 27. = To prevent
cave-ins by the false roadway covering
miles Of subway construction through
out the city similar to those of last
week when portions of the Seventh
avenue and Broadway street surfaces
collapsed - portions of Broadway and
other main thoroughfares were closed
to traffic today and engineers began a
close examination of all the timber
street surfaces now covering the new
subway excavation.
A preliminary inquiry has convinced
the city officials that there was likeli-
hood of repetition of the disasters OF
last week, involving possible further
loss of life.

VETERANS OF CIVIL
WAR GATHER FOR
ANNUAL REUNION
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND VISIT.
oRs At WASHINGTON TO
HONOR THE HEROES.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 27.-The
forty-ninth annual reunion of the
Grand Army Of the Republic began
here today with thousands Of battle
SCARED veterans of the civil war par
ticipating.
The celebration, which will continue
for the week, will be featured by a
procession of the survivors of the con.
quering army from the capitol to the
white house in commemOration Of the
grand review which marked the close
of the civil war. Many other interest
ing events are on the program.
Extraordinary preparations had
been made for the event, which prom
ised to rival presidential inaugurations
in interest and display. Plans had been
perfected for entertaining one hundred
thousand visitors.
The national capital itself is in gala
attire. All public buildings, including
the white house and the capitol and
business houses along Pennsylvania
avenue, where the grand review is to
take place, are draped in the national
colors.
Veterans and visitors continued to
arrive today and each incoming train
bore it's full quota. Most of them were
from the east Commander in Chief
Palmer was among the arrivals.
The days ceremonies began with
the formal opening by Commander
Palmer of Camp Emery, official head
quarters of the reunion, established in
the old census building, near the cap
itol. and the welcoming by the COM
mander and his staff of Lieut.. General
Nelson A. Miles, retired, who is to be
the grand marshal Of the parade next
Wednesday.
This was the only formal ceremony
held, the day being devoted largely
to the informal reception of incoming
delegations.
Thirty thousand veterans are ex.
pected to participate in the grand re-
view Wednesday. President Wilson
will review the procession from
grandstand in front of the white house
where President Johnson stood in 1865
to review the conquering army Of the
north

Ine oondtdon Of some Of the country
roaos OF Wapello county has been IN

OF these highways will be the best ar
surance OF continuing rural free deliv.

travelled BY rural mail carriers out OF
Ottumwa have been taken by Mr.. Nc

roads and highways on rural route No.
of the Ottumwa, Iowa, postoffice, as
noted In an inspection made Sept %
1915:
Just over in Green township in what
Is known as the Mat Wagner lane are
two culverts which do not seem to
have been properly placed, as there
are mud holes which will not dry, due
to improper ditching and draining, and
the roads at this point have been gone
over with grader and large tufts of sod
left in roadway making rough and
incomplete job of roadwork, II road
workers are through with this piece Of !
road.
At Tullers corner the roadway
needs new filling and attention to
drainage.
At the Peter Wagner and Wycofi
corner are some wash outs in the road
bed which should have attention.
The main Ormanville road is in very
good condition and it would be good
service to not cut any of 1t up, Just
simply leave 1t alone and give atten-
tion to other highways.
At the Hartman fruit farm is dam
gerous washout hole at the foot of hill
Just below the house.
At the Mute hill just east of Shaul
cemetery is more wash out trouble
which should be given attention be-
fore too late.
At the Brown farm. south of Shaul
cemetery also is culvert which seems
to have made mud hole by improper
ditching and drainage and placing Of
pipe.
On West Finley avenue from
Quincy avenue to Miner street, is q
very deplorable condition Of road. The
street is series of mud holes and
gullies from lack of road work and
proper drainage work. 1t is very prob

! TO BE CHANGED TO SAVE
AMERICAN INDUSTRY.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 27. - At
President Wilson's direction the de-
partment of commerce and the federal
trade commission have begun an in
vestigation to find means to prevent a
food of cheap products from Europe
on the American market at the end Of
the war.
The president is convinced that ex-
tensive economic readjustments will
follow the restoration of peace and
wants the United States to be ready
to meet whatever conditions develop.
Administration officials have not de-
termined whether any changes in the
trade commission laws or the tariff
will be necessary, but the investiga-
ton is expected to develop that.

Howitzers Thought Proper
Means for Combating
Mexican Bandits
WILL THROW SHELLS
ACROSS THE BORDER
Range Will Prevent Killing
Of Innocents Far AWAY
From Texas Line

Brownsville, Texas, Sept. 27. = In
stead Of crossing the Rio Grande in
pursuit Of Mexicans who invade OPEN
ly, as occurred last week, 1t was sug.
gested here today that the use Of
mountain artillery may stop these at
tacks. Apparently the use of these
guns would not invovle the danger of
hostilities with Mexico such as are
threatened by pursuit across the bor-
der, because the territory which can
non would sweep has been declared
oficially free from Carranza troops.
Under the wording of orders by Gen
eral q. p. Nafarrate, Carranza COM
mander. the Mexican side Of the Rio
Grand for several miles back from the
river front, except at Matamoros and
other river towns, is a no mans zone.
Continued killing Of American SOL
diers has produced q bitter feeling
among the American enlisted men. AS
the body of Private Henry Sttbblefleld
OF Big Stone Gap, Va, was carried to
the train here yesterday afternoon SOL
diers lined the streets, many Of them
in tears.

LOCAL GREEKS AND

STAY IN 0TTUMWA
VETERAN OF BALKAN WAR SAYS
HE WILL ANSWER no SUM-

p T.
The expected entrance Of Greece and
Bulgaria into the European war is Of
special interest to Greeks and Bulgar-
lars living in Ottumwa. While none
of the local foreigners intend to return
to the old country in response to the
call to colors they nevertheless are
watching the developments closely.
Chris Nikitas, is the only Greek in this
city that is known to be reservist.
Mr.. Nilitas is member of the class
of 1906 and returned to his country and
fought in the war Of 1928. When
interviewed by representative Of The
Courier this morning Mr.. Nikitas
stated that he would not return in re-
sponse to the summons. "A man has
no chance fighting now," said Mr..
Nikitas. When asked about what he
thought Of the war he said that in the
end Germany and England would
profit but the war would undoubtedly
continue for an indefinite period unless
the Dardanelles were cleared
George Adams, 337 West Division
street, said that he would not return
to the old country to enter the army
under any circumstances. II have
property here" said Mr.. Adams, "and
| would not think about returning.
1t looks like it will be long war and
if Greece wants to enter let her CO."
Victor Houteff, owner of the Main
street cafeteria, Bulgarian, when
asked whether he would return to fight
for his country stated, II have troubles
enough of my own here" When ques-
toned more closely would give no opin-
ion on the war but stated that he
would do his fighting on neutral soil.

Orders have been issued to all
American officials on the Mexican bor-
der to seize all shipments of ammuni-
ton when the destination is not defln-
itely known. No embargo is being
laid on commercial shipments Of war
munitions to the principal factions,

One large shipment is being held
up at Laredo until It's ownership can
be determined.
