Germany Nation of Chemists

In the American Magazine Oscar w. Underwood, author of the present tariff law, says that Germany's supremacy in making dye stuffs is because that country is a nation of chemists.
 ''The reason for Germany's su premacy in the dye stuff industry is not a tariff reason, or labor reason. in the ordinary sense." he says. "but is due to their system of education. They have greater proportion of young men educated in the line of chemistry than we have, and chemists are one of the chief requirements of the dye stuff business. Germany has surplus of chemists. so far as the high sala ri ed positions are concerned and you can hire any grade of chemist cheaper there than here This condition could not be changed by any tariff provision. Tn order to keep out of foreign competi- tion in that line it would be necessary to have the rate so high as to work needless hardships on many of our own manufacturers who are using dye stuffs.'

Resignation Of Attorney Conk-

of Those After Hamilton's Scalp
--latest Recall Petition is lnsuffi-

Yesterday afternoon Jack Graham.
Secretary of the Imperial Irrigation
District, invited few citizens favor
ing the recall of Walter o. Hamilton,
into the district offices for poWwow
and to see if some compromise might
not be had to avoid the expense and
turmoil of recall election.
Graham reminded those present that
so far as the attorney for the district
was concerned, that gentleman wanted
to resign and would do so and that so
far as Chief Engineer lockwood was
concerned, board of consulting engin-
GERS would soon report and the preseIls
board of directors would be guided by
that report and wol.N only carry out
the plans proposed by that advisory
board. He said that if the people
could not unite on that basis ther-
could be no unity and that what he
proposed ought to satisfy all.
Many of those present seemed to be
satisfied except Mark Rose and f. F.
Howe. They wanted the recall! to go
on anyway and did not want any peace.
Other recallers present insisted that
Attorney M. w. Conkling should COM
plete pending business as it is not fair
to other attorneys, who might take up
the work, for him to quit abruptly.
They frankly decided to submit it to
the full recall committee.
The recall committee met this morn.

HOPE THAT REPORT OF ANDER-

Cost of Securing Opinions From
These Eminent Engineers Moth
ing Compared to the Value of
Permanent Policy to Imperial
Valley in Every Way

Opinions that the people of the I'M
perial Valley should get behind the
board of consulting engineers, follow
their advice and do the work recon-
mended, are voiced in the Brawley
district, according to the News.
J. S. Nickerson, director of Water
Company No. 5, expressed his ideas
emphatically this morning, in discuss
ing the letter sent by the engineers
to the irrigation district directors,
stating the terms on which they are
willing to give their services to the
district.
81 believe these men are big
enough" said Mr.. Nickerson, "to have
opinions of their own. They know
their business and we have every rea'
son to feel confidence in their judg
ment. l think that they should be
given a free hand in their recommen-
dations and that the people should see
that they are carried out.
"Take the Alamo channel-that is
an engineering problem. So is the
Laguna dam connection, the All-Amer-
lean canal, the skimming weir, the
settling basin-all these are engineer
ing problems. Let the engineers pass
upon them, and place no strings upon
their reports.
"They have gone to every source for
their fOrmatiOn-including Rock
wood. Chester Allison and even to the
negroes on the works. When they
make their recommendation you may
be sure that they will cover every
point needed.
"The question of pay is minor con-
sideratiOn beside the work that is to
be done"

LONDON, Sept. 22.-Germany will

cent apparently well authenticated ru-
mors which have reached London,
Germany is now suffering huge losses
because of the recent allied often
siye and is endeavoring to suggest
peace action through the United
States and Spain. King Alfonso is un-
responsive and is unlikely to act. it
is reliably reported.
1t is said that the Germans believed
in the hope to tempt President Wilson
to start negotiations at time when
any success toward peace is likely to
favor his chances of reelection.
Americans, conversant with the inside
British sentiment here, feel that such
a move at Washington will not only
foredoom failure but arouse the bitter
est resentment of the allies and per-
manenty eliminate Washington as a
possible mediator.
Every indication points not only to
the openness in the purpose of the al

i've peace, but the fact that army and
navy and political leaders are united
in their determination to assume the
responsibility, il necessary, for the

Although there was some nervous

away from work until the traction

would reject all peace overtures and
demanded an immediate election. They
asked Attorney COnkling to state his

have to be settled at the polls.

state that they had been trying to get
an election for some time, but could

that if they, the recallers, did not have

New York, April 25.-Memoran
dun books found in the possession of
a young Japanese arraigned in a
Brooklyn court have been turned over
to local agents of the department of
justice for investigation. The au-
thorities are suspicious of pages of
Japanese lettering.
The prisoner described himself as

six months in the United States. He
was held for one week. pending the
Federal investigation, at the behest
of Kings county, after having been
found guilty of assault committed
when refused street car transfer on

Statements credited to the police
that the japanese had maps of Unit

books contained English illusions to
immigration in California, were not
borne out in an examination of his
effects at the offices of the depart
ment of justice. The japanese letter.

however, be translated, 1t was said.
