Vast Sugar COnsisgnmen

Chicago, March 6.-The first train
load of what is said to be the largest
transcontinental shipment of single
commodity ever made passed through
Chicago today.
1t is sugar from Hawaii. The entire
consignment, most of which goes to
New York refineries, weighs 250,O0O
tons, is valued at $25,OOO,OOO and the
freight charges will be in the neigh
borhood of $3,OOO,oO0.
The entire consignment will require
5000 freight cars, or 100 solid trains.
The movement, which will require three
months to complete, was made overland
because Of the blocking of the Panama
canal.
The first trainload left San Fran
cisco February "a and is dude at New
York next Tuesday. A small part of
later shipments will go to Philadel-
phia.

The SaiZ Levee
The Saiz Levee.

On last Saturday, March 4, we five
directors Of the District. in company
with our Chief Engineer lockwood and
President Ttrieby of Water Company
No. s, left Calexico in two Ford cars
about 7 o'clock a, M, on a tour of in
spection of the Saiz levee.
The weather was fine, but the roads
were rough and dusty.
Our route was by way Of Volcano
Lake levee. This leve Is in good shape,
but the silt deposits from the Colorado
river waters change the river current
so often that it is hard to tell when
this levee is high enough to withstand
the forthcoming floods. There iss now
quito a lake Of water standing against
the levee at the south end, which indi-
Gates that the late flood made heavy

DJSASTROUS TO FIGHT U. S..
SAYS TEUTON LAWGIVER

Copenhagen, March 6.-Herr Nau-
mand, a member of the German Reich
stag, writing in tho Schleswig Heun-
dal, warns Germany of the consequen-
ces of war with America. He says:
Americas fleet would be placed at
the side of Englandis increasing the
possibility of an absolute, effective
blockade. General recruiting would
within six months produce a formid-
able American army.
German ships in American harbors
would be lost. Amcricais daily increas-
ing financial power would mean an in
palculable prolongation of the war, be-
cause America could finance the Allies
for an unlimited period.

United States demands"

Many of the business men of Ell
Centro have co-operated with the ex-
ecutive committee Of the organizations
which have the Baby Week campaign
in charge and have given excellent
exhibits in their windows. The idea
of the committee had been to have
each exhibit of some educational value
to the parents and in many casess this
has been done.
Samuel w. Dunaway has an exhibit
of everything necessary for the baby's
bath. 1t is not only instructive, but
very pleasing as well.
J. E. Davis features first aid reme-
dies WHICH should be in every hVEme.
He has increased the helpfulness of
his window by giving direction as to
what should be done in certain emer-
gencies.
The Weir Variety Store has put in
particularly pleasing exhibit. The
children will be delighted to see hap
py lawn party. A dainty tea table
is in the center, with groups Of dolls
and animals playing about in swings
and on the grass.
The Valley School Supply Company
in it's display has aimed to help the
mothers of children under school age.
By studying this window Mtoher can
see things which c:8 be used to keep
the little ONES busy while she goes
abo..t her work. The usefulness of
this exhibit will be increased by add
ing work which the kindergarten has
done.

silt deposit on the north bank of its
channel, preventing this water from
draining out as before.
We left the Volcano Lake levee at
the east or north end and struck out
in an easterly course across the des-
ert, hoping to be able to reach the
south or west end of the Saiz levee.
To explain here, the Saiz levee was
built by Colonel J. A. Ockerson, con-
sulting United States engineer.
It's purpose is to prevent the over
flow waters Of the Colorado river from
making a possible change of channel
into the Paredones river and increas-
ing the further possible danger of its
main current again finding its sway in
to Imperial Valley.
We had some little difficulty in cross
ing some Of the old sloughs of the
Paredones that had filled with water
during the recent flood caused by
reached there after o'clock by going
above the upper break and travelling
down the levee. A. the first break we
found the high water mark within
about two feet of the top of the levee,
and about 800 feet of the levee gone.
We drove around this break and
down the levee a mile or more to the
second break, which is very similar in
every way to the first, except the high
water mark showed eight inches or
foot of the top Of the levee. The slope
Of the country here, as shown by the
water, is to the northwest into the
Paredones.
For the safety Of the valley this
levec must be built up before the COM
ing summer floods. This and other
protective work that must be done for
our protection is going to cost US con-
siderable money.
In our recent deal for the purchase
of the California Development system
1t has left our treasury about empty, /
but certain work must be don efor our
safety and protection and to insure an
ample supply of water for the coming |
season. We have no time to waste. I
feel that we must order the work dope, /
and take a chance loh financing it. The
necessary funds must be supplies from
some source which we feel we can work
out. ]. ARTHUR M'BRIDE,
Director.

French Still Holding
Against the Germans

London, March 6-The Germany Of
ficial casualty LISTS give a total of
651,768 dead to January 81, 1915. The
average delay between the death Of a
German soldier and the appearance of
his name on the official lists is from
fou. to six weeks. The above figures,
therefore, can hardly include casualties
later than December 81, 1915.
To this figure must be added a cer-
tain proportion of missing. The num-
Der of prisoners is precisely known to
the Allies, and after deducing a small
percentage for desertion the number Of
dead in the German lists Of missing is
not less than 10000, making a total,
derived from the Germans own admis-
sion. Of $4,000.
That is not all. Apart from the lists
published by the German government
the French authorities have amassed a
average deaths per 1000 mobilized
men at a given date. These prove con-
clusively that the German official listss
are deliberately falsified or intention
ally inadequate.
In the early months of the war these
private and official lists very nearly
tailed, but ever since aJnuary, 1915,
there has been a marked discrepancy.
The official lists give an average of
20 per cent less than private lists This
dead.
It is q matter of mathematical GER
tainty that the German empire has lost
over 100000 dead alone to the end of
last year.
