LONDON, Dec. 22.-Par- liament prologued without further announcement of the British attitude on President Wilson's note or the German peace proposal. The kings speech was read in both houses and was the briefest on record. It expressed con- fidence of ultimate victory and a determination that the allies to prosecute the war until vindicated the rights so ruthlessly violated by our enemies and established the security of Europe on a sure foundation"

Representative Stevens has introduced a bill in congress for the purpose of securing reimbursement to the state of money expended in protect ing the border and fighting Indians by Texas rangers way back in 1866-76. Congress- man Stevens was a scout in those days and is we'll equip ped to inform his colleagues of the character of the serv- ices rendered by the Texans against hostile Indians and laWless MeXicans.

BILL TO PROHIBIT
 ALL POLITICAL ADS.

Senator Owen of Oklahoma, who is in charge of the bill known as the cor rupt practices act, having for it's pur- pose the control and limiting of eX- penditures in political campaigns, makes the rather startling proposition that limit should be placed upon po- litical advertising or that it should be prevented altogether.
 Senator Owen advanced this idea when the suggestion was made to him that newspapers ought to be compelled to accept advertising from any political party or candidate if it was not inde- cent or libelous.
 He remarks that he thought politi- cal advertising ought to be suppressed and instanced the large amount of ex- penditures for different parties in the recent campaign. He spoke of page advertisements at 5000 page and said that the editors and employees of the papers were bound to be influ- enced by the business office of the newspaper receiving such large adver- Using patronage.

MORE OSTRICHES
 COMING TO YUMA

Two years ago there were more oc- triches in the Salt River Valley than anywhere else on earth outside of Ar rica. They were considered as live stock and about 5000 were listed on the tax rolls. Today it is doubtful II the valley contains much more than 1000 of the giant birds and the num- Der is growing less as fast as disposl- tion can be made of them. Ostrich breeding has ceased and hundreds of the birds have been sent to Yuma and disposed of at bargain prices as low as s5 a head, to any buyer. A few hun dred have been scattered around on the ranchers of the Yuma Valley and are cared for with the cattle.
 Announcement has just been made that 100 octriches on the Chandler ranches near Chandler, are to be kill ed and fed to the hogs. The rest or the band of 275 will be shipped to the Yuma Valley. A band of 25O choice birds will be retained in the hope that the feather market may show some life in the future.

TOM CAMPBELL WINS AGAIN
 THIS TIME ATTORNEYS AGREE

That attorneys for Cover nor Hunt and Governor elect Campbell will reach an agreement on stipulation to hurry the contest, was learned last night, says the Republican. While no an- nouncement was permitted to be made by either Senator Ives or Judge Sloan, it was learned on reliable authority that all opposition to the is- sue of the certificate of cleo ton by Sidney Osborn would vanish this morning.
 Governor-elect Campbell can qualify today, then take the oath of office and be pre- pared, in case the contest is not decided against him be- fore January 1, to sit as chief executive of the state of Ari- ZOna.
 Under the terms said to have been agreed to in gen. eral last night, but not to be signed until today, the con- testant will withdraw his ob- lection to the issuance by the secretary of state of a certificate of election, and will dismiss his appeal in the action brought by himself against Sidney P. Osborn, as secretary of state and will dis miss such action.

YUMA LIGHT MANAGER
 LEAVES FOR THE COAST
Is Optimistic Regarding Yuma and Promises Yuma Up To Date Water, Light and Power Service in Due Time.

R. M. Moore, president and general manager of the Yuma Light, Gas & Water Company, who is here check ing up the company business, will leave tonight for his headquarters at Los Angeles, where he is also identi- fled with the Continental Securities Company, Angels Flight Railway Com pany, Lompoc Light &Power Con- pany, Peoples Water Company of Palms, Realty Board Building, with offices in the Union Oil Building. MT. Moore is most optimistic regarding the prospects for a first class power and light service here and when told this evening that the Examiner plant had been without power four hours of an eight hour shift today he said his company certainly regretted such condition and would make every pos sible effort to give Yuma service sec Ond to none, just as quickly as time and available capital would permit.
 The new company has now been in charge about thirty days and has plans laid for many changes, including a possible connection with the Sierra Power Company of Southern Califor- nia, and when this connection is made electric energy will be available for Yuma's present and future needs. MT. Moore does not promise impossible things but assures the Examiner that his company is not indifferent to Yu- mas welfare and urgent needs.

CANTU HOLDING

Calexico Chronicle: Emphatic de nial is made by Governor Cantu of the rumor in circulation a day of two since, to the effect that he is rischarg- ing his soldiers in the interests of econ omy.
 My soldiers are happy, contented and very loyal force," the governor is quoted as saying yesterday; why should they not be? They are soldiers by profession, and they are the highest paid soldiers in the world, each man receiving $15O a day in cash-not promises"
 Under the present conditions, Gov ernor Cantu said he saw no necessity for increasing his army, but he does not contemplate reducing it for any reason.

NATIONAL PROHIBI-
 TON COMING.

Nation wide prohibition is looming up in congress, as will be seen from a bill intro duced in that body by the ju- dietary committee which rec commended it by a twelve to seven vote in the house and thirteen to three in the sen ate. The bill reads:
 Section 1. That the sale, manufacture for sale, trans portation for sale and impor- tation for sale of intoxicating liquors for beverage purpose in the United States and all territories subject to the jur- isdiction thereof, and expor- tation thereof, are forever prohibited.
 Section 2. That the con- gress and the states shall have power independently or con- currently to enforce this ar ticle by all needful legisla- tion.

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. Diplomats here are eagerly watching to see whether the European neutrals will fol- low the American lead and possibly send out joint ap- peal. Spanish and Swiss re- presentatives have been to the state department repeat edly, and are probably fully acquainted with the Ameri- can plans.
 Surprise was general at the presidents increasingly sig nificant move. Knowledge that the president counted on an absolutely frank reply which will lead to actual op- portunity for negotiations is 
 only less surprising than the note itself.
 Qualification over the indi- cations that the allied diplo- mats would advise their gov- ernments' reply in a friendly spirit. Early London press comment is that the note is painful because it states to the belligerents practically the same as the other note and was unexpected here, where attention is directed to that feature.

A Journal Representative trying TO |
reach Fairhope in order to communi-
cate with Mobile has stopped at the
Perdido river, which vas nearly a
half mile out of its hanks Friday
morning and washing over the tracks
Of the P. and P. railroad. The swamps
above the ferry were almost sub
merged, and in many places the road
was under water.
Trees had been blown down, and
telegraph poles and wires had been
carried with them, few fences were
left standing, and several barns were
overturned. Corn was laid fat by
the wind, and it is estimated that
much of the crop was lost.
The roads are very dangerous in
many places for automobiles, and
several of the residents of the sec
ton reported that at some points a
team could not pass.
Where the water rose over the
banks near the ferry, trees had been
uprooted, and clumps Of pines were
strewn about. TEa ferry could not
be seen from the end of the road, and
may have been swept away by the
storm.

BUOYS At ENTRANCE
OF HARB0R LOOT

Mariners returning yesterday from
the mouth Of the harbor reported that
several of the channel markings had
been found missing, among them the
east and back buoys. Pilots are never
theless on duty and the big Leyland
liner Oxonian, which was in distress
and which is reported at length else
where, came through an unmarked
channel.
This condition is one which had
been expected, it was stated, and the
discovery that the beacons were gone
did not occasion great deal of sur
prise to those who first discovered it.
Like other harbors and entrances,
it is said, buoys are missing from
many points, which it will require
considerable time to replace.
