For fear someone else will rush into
print with a prediction before this can
be pounded out it is hereby announced
that Williams should beat Amherst
this year by II points. Last year The

they had made the p points allowed
them.

and decided not % ship any milk to
Boston unless paid 40 cents a can OF
So quarts on the platform at the Mas

this state this means 1925 to $40 a

Raid on Tecate
Duly Frustrated

Tecate is a little settlement in the
mountains on the international bor-
der. Several months since it was
raided and the ant-postmaster
killed. Tuesday of this week another
raid was attempted by small band
Of MeXicans, but they were driven off,
and now the presence of United States
troops through the mountains has
made it extremely improbable that
efforts of the same kind will be made
1t is stated by a person who is IA
miliar with affairs on the Mexican
side of the line that Governor Can
tu's chief purpose in visiting Tia Ju-
ana, where he still is, has been to
dispose his troops for the protection
of property on both sides of the line
from such raids. 1t is said he has
teen in consultation with Spreckels and
other owners of the Tia Juana gam
bling enterprises with view to ar
ranging the protection to the best pos
sible advantage, and according to the
report it was for this purpose that a
number of soldiers were withdrawn
from Mexicali a few days since.

THE REAL ISSUE
is NOT YET MET

Washington, June 29.-The report
ed release of the % American soldiers
from Chihuahua has brought little
satisfaction to those here who are
looking for a solution of the real
Mexican problem, and the reported
statement by Carranza that war must
come soon is generally accepted here
as a certainty.
But if there should be some delay
in the matter of actual conflict, it
is taken here that it would be greatly
to the advantage of this country.
Should conflict come at once, there
would be no apprehension as 20 the
ultimate outcome, but our forces on
the border are being increased rapid
ly, and every day trainloads of equip
ment for the army are reaching the
front. Two weeks from now the Unit
ed States will have almost double the
available strength it now has, and
after a few days on the frontier the
men will be much better able to stand
the hot climate.
The climate of Mexico at this sea-
son, with the summer rains and great
heat just beginning, would present a
serious obstacle to the American SOL
diers, especially the militiamen, and
sixty days later the situation for them
would be much more favorable
While it is believed that President
Wilson is most sincerely trying t

avert war, and might go further than
the average American citizen to ac-
complish this, it is felt that he now
believes complete intervention has be-
come necessity, and that the polic-
ing of at least northern Mexico must
go ahead under the auspices of the
United States.
There is little thought that when the
president demands freedom for Amer
ican troops in northern Mexico in the
suppression of the bandits that Car
rama either will or can make the
and yet this country must
make that demand or submit to re-
treat and to the unrestricted lawless-
ness of the bandits.
1t is expected that this demand for
freedo min policing the country will at
once be made by the President and
that the demand will be signal for
war, which is considered almost as
certain as before Carranza consented
to the release of the prisoners.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-06-29

Reliable information that the Ger
mans have been forced to withdraw
thousands of their best troops to the
east to meet the Russian onslaught
made it probable that the British task
will be easier than at the last at
tempt.
The very silence of both Berlin and
Petrograd as to operations on the
Russian front is taken by critics here
as the best evidence that the Russian
drive is proving serious to the Teu-
tons. Especially is this believed to
re true in the Bukowina sector, where
practically nothing has been told of
the fortunes of the army of General
PflanZer, which is fleeing along the
borders of Roumania into the passes
cf the Transylvanian Alps before the
victorious Slavs.
Statements made public in Petro-
grad that parties of Russian cavalry
Rave already crossed into Transylva-
MA, have not been confirmed by fur
TIER information, but the secrecy
# the Russian war office as to events
ii Bukowina has led to belief here
that masked movements of big troop
rEits are in progress which will either
compel the surrender of Planners
forces or force them into internment
IN Roumania.
Latins Doing Share.
Success of the Italian offensive in
the Trentino against the hard-pressed
Austrians and the doggedness with
which the Latins are following up
their successes, was believed here to
be having an effect on Roumania and
Greece which, coupled with the Rus
sian victories on the south of their
line, may once again make the Balk-
ans a center of war news.
1t is unofficially reported in dis
patches from Bucharest that Bulgaria
has closed the frontier against Rou-
mania and that the latter country at
last seems to be on the eve of de-
claring for the Allies. If this were
done there is little doubt that the
British, French and Serbians in gar
rison at Saloniki will move with Rou-
mania against the Bulgarians. Ha-
rassed by the Russians and Italians,
Austria would be unable to move to
the aid of Bulgaria and, Gar Ferdi-
nand once beaten, there would be
strong probability that the world war
might be finally settled on the plains
of Hungary.

How the Dollar Harvest
Runs Through the Valley

half million dollars month will be
realized from them.
During August there will be lit
tie cotton picked and marketed, with
the quantity increasing during Sep
tember and October, and with pros
pect for an income of more than
million dollars month by October l.
The butter industry shrinks some
what during the summer months in
revenue, and still it contributes great
ly to the prosperity of the section
throughout the year.
From this it is evident that during
the next ninety days there will be
steady increase in the tide of money
into the valley, at the end of that
time probably reaching total vol
ume Of $2,0OO,00O a month and run
ming at that rate for eight or nine
months.
There has never been summer
when so many men were employed as
now, and this condition must continue,
with greater increase necessary when
the cotton picking season opens, four
or six weeks hence.
The summer is one-third gone. The
balance will pass quickly, and before
we realize it we will be in the season
of the Valleys greatest harvest, with
a tide of money flowing in our di-
rection such as this section has not

With crop expected to run beyond
twenty million dollars this season, now
coming on agnificently, many per-
sons are curious to know how soon
there will be realization of the bene-
fits.
Almost every community experien-
ces the flood tide and the ebb tide of
money during busy year, and this
section is no exception. The ebb of
money comes here during the sum-
mer months, when more than a mil
lion dollars is taken away for vaca-
tions and when there is comparative
lull in the sale of produce.
The cantaloupe crop, it is true, is
bringing in a great sum, but it goes
mainly to Japanese growers, and does
not enter into free circulation.
Barley and alfalfa have brought in
considerable money, and this is help
ing greatly through the summer
months.
But the first large item in the up
lift of the valleys finances should be-
gin to be realized on next month. This
is from the sale of hogs fattened on
the new barley crop. No one knows
how many hogs there are in the Val
ley, but the number must be some
where in the neighborhood of quar-
ter of million, and the prospect is
that during the next six months a

Rome, June 20, via London.-The
Italians have flung back the Austri-
ans a further distance on the Tren-
tino front. The war office today an
nounced the capture of Monte Gia-
monde, north of Fusine, and Monte
Caviojo. These positions lie between
Posina and Astico.
The Italians also advanced on the
Asiago plateau, occupying the south
ern side of the Arsa valley and reached
the slope of Monte Erasta, Monte In
terrotto and Monte Moscaigh.
Monte Colombara. was carried and
the italian advance reached the Ga
lamarria valley. The communication
adds:
"From the Adige to the Brenta,
commanding positions and strongly
organized defenses now reached by the
enemy have increased largely his ac-
tlvity in arresting our advance. New
ertheless we made considerable pro-
gress yesterday.
"In the La Garina valley and in the
Arsa valley there was intense artil-
lery action. We shelled positions of
the enemy on Mount Trappola and
Monte Teste and took the trenches
near Malga Sugna.
"On the Aiago plateau, we occupied
the southern side of the Arsa valley
and reached the slopes of Monte Eras-
ca, Monte Interrotto and Monte
Monciasgh, which were held strongly
by the enemy's rear guards.
Further north, after carrying Mon
te Colombara, we began to approach
Galamarra valley.
"On the Isonzo we captured 1853
prisoners, including seven officers, and
two machine guns"
London, June 29-Hammering fu-
rlously at the German lines in Bel
gium with massed force of guns
unequaled in power since the war be-
gan, the British army today is be-
lieved to be preparing for a smashing
infantry attack similar to but more
powerful than the one launched at
Loos and which almost started the
Germans back toward the Rhine.
Although the war office is secretive
about details, enough information has
Ieen permitted to seep through from
the front to make it almost certain
tnat preparations for the big smash
ere under way. 1t is definitely known
that along more than seventy miles of
the British front constant storm of
shot and shell has been launched up
O.. the German trenches for three
days. Arguing from the time re-
Quired for former artillery prepara-
ticn, the British infantry is expected
here to make a real attack today
EThen it is made, the strongest hope
is felt here that the Teuton lines will
pc deeply dented. Just where the
smash will fall is doubtful, but it is
known that General Haig regards the
possession of Lens and Lille as his
first objects, so the war-scarred fields
Of that sector are likely to get an
