highway from San Bernardino through
Imperial valley to Yuma and back
over the plank road via Holtville and
en- to San Diego, will be shipped to Ell
Centre for distribution. The entire
o, der for this immense lot of signs
and posts win constitute more than
a carload. The work will be pushed
from September /, and by the end Of
the month motorists should find this
territory second to none IN road signs.
The Automobile Club certainly seems
to be making good in its effort to put
Imperial valley on the map, which
this sign posting will do. The cost
to the club is several times more than
the annual membership from this
county.

War Bride Takes Own Life.

Denver, Aug. 16.-Gladys Wilborn,
Is, intended "war bride" Of Lieut.. Jack
Street cf Troop A, Colorado state mill
tia, committed suicide here today when
her mother and a brother prevented
the wedding from taking place.
Miss Wilborn, when she learned
that the state troops were to go to
he border, determined to become a
war bride, and went to the recruiting
offices in the Commonwealth building
to meet her fiance. Her mother and
brother followed in an effort to pre-
vent the marriage. After an argu-
ment, Miss Wilborn, under pretext Of
getting a drink, stepped into an ad
joining office, drew a revolver and
shot herself. She died soon after she
was taken to the county hospital.
Lieut.. Street became violently in-
sane when informed of his fiancee's
suicide and was placed under guard.

as mediator of the erouble and has
determined to bring about satisfac-
tory solution. That is hopeful sign
for us. 1t may mean, however, that
we stay here for several days. l can
lot say what is transpiring, because
tfat W uld be discourteous to the pres
ident and might interfere with the
plans for settlement, but we believe
the president intends passing the Of
fers and counter -offers back and forth,
until he finds way Of meeting the
views Of both sides. The great danger,
however, in my opinion, is the hot
headedness of certain labor leaders,
who continue to insist that the eight
hour proposition cannot be arbitrated.
The president seems to be confident,
though, that he will be able to prevent
precipitate signing Of the strike or
ders."
The managers today pointed out
that the freight divisions are too
long for the crews to cover them in
eight hours, and that overtime pay,
in conformity with the mems de-
mands, would be ruinous to the rail-
roads.
The managers insisted that they
would be glad to grant the shorter
day, if it were possible. During the
discussion the proposition to accept
the eight or nine-honr working day
in principle was brought up and the
proposition was made to read that
the railroads would declare for it if
the men agree to have the manner of
making it effective passed on by a
neutral arbitration board.
Presidential Secretary 'Tumulty is
sued the following statement after the
managers left the White House.
"The president spent an hour and
p half this morning with representa-
tives of the railway managers. After
the conference he said it was impos-
sible as yet to report on the probable
result. All he could say was that Il
very candid and honest discussion was
in progress about practicable basis
for settlement"

Accused of Burning Harvests.

Berlin, Aug. 16-Allied military
chieftains have attempted to aid the
"starve Germany out" campaign by
setting fire to German harvest fields,
according to reports received here.
The recent raids by Anglo-French
aviators over the Black Forest and
farm lands near Karlsruhe are said to
have been experimental trips. Incen-
diary bombs were dropped in several
fields with the evident intention Of
starting great fires, but they did only
slight damage.

M. 7. Emanuel of the Auto Club of
Southern California left Tuesday night

other business interests the volumin-
Jus list of signatures placed to the
resolution, the sense Of which is that
iue to Los Angeles being the benefi-
ciary in the matter of trade relations
with Imperial valley that it's business
interests should finance the improve
ment of the Brawley- -Mecca-Los An
seies highway by placing suitable
clay surface over the softer sand spots.
Mr.. Emanuel is very optimistic
about the success of his mission, and
hopes to be able to return with as
aurances of the necessary fundst
After this matter is disposed Of in
Los Angeles, Emanue. will proceed to
San Francisco where he will take up
with the California highway commits
sion the matter of road improvement
Tor Imperial county, and ascertain just
what 1t is proposed to do for this
county from the $15,OO0,OOO to be vot-
ed upon this coming November.
He will return about September
l and direct the erection of the 500
or more new metal signs, all of which
will have been received mere ny that

Progress in Mediation Efforts.

Washington. Aug. 16.--A definite
proposition for compromise in the
threatened strike Of 100000 railroad
men was put up to President Wilson
by the railroad managers. It was
placed before the employees when they
assembled in the green room Of the
wh ue house.
Through Elisha Lee, spokesman for
the managers, the railroads cited fig
ures intended to show that it was inn
possible to grant an elght-hour day
on the terms demanded by the men.
They offered, however, as counter
proposition, to recognize shorter
working day-some of the railway
managers suggested eight hours, and
others nine-but insisted that, if this
was granted, a neutral commission
should lay down the law as to how
the plan must be made effective.
Finally, the managers left this pro-
