Though Loss Estimated at Million Dollars Situation in Surrounding Country Not so Bad as Was at First Feared
WATERS RECEDE
 IN BOTH RIVERS
In Absence of News From Imperial Valley it is Feared That the Flood May Break Into That Re zion
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

YUMA, Jan. 23.-With the waters of the Colorado river receding, work of rescuing Yuma valley flood sufferers was carried forward today by local authorities, aided by officials of the Southern Pacific railroad from Tucson, Arizona, who arrived here with equip ment to supply the city temporarily with water, gas and electricity It was estimated that the damage from the flood would amount to more than S1 ,0O0, ,00O
 The river fell two and a half feet this morning and continued to recede though it was still above the 33-foot stage.
 Under the direction of T. H. Will jams, superintendent of the Tucson di- vision of the Southern Pacific a large force of men was engaged in repairing the break in the levee at Four Mile post, above here, which released the torrent of water that inundated the town yesterday.
 Practically every house in the MeXi- can quarter of the city was in ruins today. Many of the business houses still were flooded with the water and the two newspaper plants were out of commission.
 It was the expressed sentiment of citizens that the town should be rebuilt on a more substantial basis than be- fore. It was practically determined to rebuild the broken levee with rock Steps already have been taken for bond election to meet the expense of this work.
 Conditions in Yuma valley were not as bad as was at first feared The government rrigating canals are holding the water back from the breaks in the levee along the river front.
 Working in conjunction with the citizens relief committee, the Southern Pacific officials opened the big club house of the railroad to the homeless and aided in feeding and caring for the needy
 Reports from Gila Bend, 150 miles north of Yuma, were that the Gila river had fallen five feet at that place and was continuing to fall, thus offer ing additional hope of quick relief from the flood situation here.
 The Southern Pacific railroad tracks at Araz junction, across the river from Yuma, were washed out last night The break was said to be serious and it was impossible to state when it woudl be repaired.
 The city water, electric light and gas plants tonight were submerged under ten feet of water.

LONDON, Jan. A, 3 a. m.-Walter Runciman, president of the board of trade, will meet the leading British newspaper owners today for d confer ence regarding proposals to reduce importations of paper and wood pulp by 10 per cent and thus liberate a considerable number of ships for other trades. Such a step will necessitatc an agreement for a corresponding re duction in the size of newspapers. It is said that most of the newspaper owners will welcome enforced economy in the use of paper, although several proposals to this effect made recently by individual owners have failed.

GERMAN "FOKKER" RAID ..., ON THE KENT|SH COAST

account of the raid is the statement that it was made by an aerOplane. Heretofore Germany has relied prin- cipally on Zeppelins for aerial attacks on England. Of late, however, there has been much destruction in England by a new type of German aeroplane the Fokker. which has been said to excel the air craft of the entente al lies. English newspapers stated last week that the British air machines were out t-powered and out-engined.
 Harold Remnant, parliamentary under secretary for war, replied to this criticism in the house of com mons, asserting that the Fokker was well adapted to defensive operations but was incapable of making long flights.
 Some of the London newspapers were not satisfied with this state ment pointing out that British head quarters reports showed the loss of (Captipuad m Daoa rbrae1

 PEARY PROJECT
Patrols to be Used in Times
 of Peace as Adjunct of
 Life-saving Service and as
 Scouts i'll the Time of War
1Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary's plan to establish aerial coast patrols on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards and along the great lakes, to he used in time of peace as an adjunct to the coast guard and life saving service and in time of war as an expedient for defense, took definite form today when the Aero club of America authorized him to organize a committee of army, navy and state militia authorities to further the pro- ject. Letters, it was announced, have been written to the secretaries of war and the navy, and also to the super intendent of the United States coast and geodetic survey in Washington,
 inviting their cooperation.
 Portland Me, according to officials of the aero club, has raised fund of $10O0O for establishing a unit of the patrol system Campaigns to raise the necessary funds in other coast cities are said to be under way. The Aero club has offered to add ten per cent. to any sums raised before Feb ruary l.
 Read Admiral Peary's plan is to di vide the entire coast into sections of 100 miles and in each section establish and equip a hangar and repair station with at least one seaplane. The sea plane will carry light wireless appa- ratus and when in active service will take their positions fifty or more miles off shore and patrol their respective districts continuously, back and forth. 1 With the initial expense of installing the system defrayed by patriotic citi- zens of coast communities, it is planned to have the cost of maintenance de- volve upon the naval militia of coast states until such time as the United States government may take it over

Nlr. Wilson Will Make a Tour of Middle West Where People Are Most Apathetic Regarding Pre- paration for War
LIVELY TIMES
 ARE PROMISED
Leaders Recog- nize That Agitation for Intervention in Mexico is lnopportunc and Let Mat ter Rest in Committee
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-President Wilson's determination to talk to the people of the middle west on national preparedness has had the effect of re- storing that issue as the uppermost subject of interest and discussion in congress.
 For several weeks preparations have been overshadowed by the Mexican problem and international questions growing out of the European war Now, however with the president about to tour the country to arouse the public to the military requirements of the nation, administration and Op- position leaders realize that lively times are ahead on Capitol Hill.
 Democratic leaders thoroughly Tn sympathy with the presidents views on preparedness are gratified over the purpose of the chief executive to take the field, inasmuch as there has been apparent in congress for some time a tendency to adopt a waiting policy | among many members uncertain re- garding the views of their constituents on the subject The presidents tour
 
 purpose of bringing out public opin ion and stirring up members of con- gress.
 On the other hand, opponents of prepara tiOns see in the presidents trip an opportunity to further their cause by replying to his arguments in the senate and house.
 i Uneasiness over the Mexican situa- tion which stirred congress for more than a week has greatly abated and probably will not be revived soon un- less notable developments should occur i in Mexico. Administration leaders re- gard the danger of being forced into difficulties with CarranZa averted for ] the present and even republicans of the senate have concluded not to force the issue of intervention to a 1 vote at this time.
 Senator Borah, one of the foremost l believers in the necessity of military action in Mexico by the United States. ] has decided that there is nothing to | be done at this time. When the sen i ate foreign relations committee de clined to act on intervention resolu- ! tions last week Senator .Borah had contemplated a motion to discharge i the committee from further considera- | tion of the resolutions, but can vass of the republicans showed them almost unanimously against such a move.
