VALLEY CHAMBER
TO GIVE BANQUET

An effort to hold a meeting today
of the general committee of Imper-

not highly successful, probably owing
to the numerous other assemblies to
attract attention. There We're Is di-
rectors present, and it was decided
to give a banquet at the Barbara
Worth Totel Tuesday at 6, to which
all the members of the general COM
mittee will be invited. At the banquet
it is proposed to ask each person ap-
pointed to the committee whether he
is willing to serve in that capacity,

fled their acceptance of the place ten

Washington Believes
Lusitania Case Settled

Washington, Feb. 8.-Germany has
agreed that reprisals must not be di-
rected against any other than enemy
subjects.
This expression is offered by Ger
many to take place of the phrase
containing the word "illegal," which
was incorporated in the draft of the
Lusitania agreement now under CEN
sideration.
Chairman Stone of the Senate for
eign relations committee said today,
after conferences with administration
officials, that it was his impression
that the Lusitania case was "practi-
cally settled" He did not 60 into

Secretary Lansing today flatly de-

APPAM IN THIRD GERMAN
VESSEL. TO SEEK REFUGE
IN H MPTON ROADS

Three vessels are now in Hampton
Roads, having sought refuge there
flying the German flag, after event
full voyages on the Atlantic. Besides
the prize ship Appam, there are the
c, merce destroyers Prinz Eitel
Friedrich and Kronprinz Wilhelm
which lodged a blockading British
squadron to get in, but didn't dare
go out.
The most eventful voyage was that
of the Prinz Eitel, an auxiliary cruis-
er that left Tsingtao at the start of
the war and spent seven months in
the Pacific and South Atlantic, sink,
ing and capturing British ships.
The Prinz Eitel also sank an Amer
lean sailing vessel, the William P
Frye, which caused a near-crisis be-
tween this country and Germany.

A canvass of the number of cattle
in the north end of the valley di-
rectly tributary TO Calipatria reveals
the fact that there are about 10000
head of cattle now being fed around
this one town alone, which to those
who have not been in very close touch
with activities there will no doubt
be some surprising information.
Among the cattle men and farmers
who have the largest holdings are
Starr & Taylor, who have in the
Imperial Valley press., 1916-02-08

exceptional facts cf activity about the
North End town have attracted many
people from other sections of he vatl-
ley itself.
That is then one reason that so
much interest was centered in the an
Inouncement that all of the unsold lots
and small acreage of Calipatria will
be sold at big credit auction to be
held at Calipatria on Saturday the
18th day of February, beginning at 10
o'clock, including big free barbecue
at noon of the same day.

Kitchener to Command
Great Spring Advance

/ that Lord Kitchener is to retire from
the war office "to undertake work of
an important character elsewhere" is
construed to imply that, having now
perfected his army of 100000 men
and having brought about an ample
supply Of war supplies, he is to as
sumo the general direction of the
great spring offensive which has so
long been planned.
Because it is taken that he is to
assume the more direct duties of the
soldier, the announcement is not re-
ceived with surprise, but rather as in
dicating that the day so long foretold
has arrived.
The shifting of Lord Kitchener will
thus be taken as the signal that the
war has entered on what the Allies
hope to make it's final stage, with
smashing blows all along the line.
Something of the spirit with which
England is now entering upon this at
tempt to bring the war to close by
the most terrific conflicts the world
has ever witnessed is shown by the
announcement by Rudyard Kipling
that England has made up her mind
that the German nation must be ex-
terminated, it being held that nothing
short of this will serve as assurance
against recurrence of the war pc
riod.
Developments of the last few days
also indicate that Rumania is at last
about to enter the war with the AL
lies, the Central powers having, ac-
cording to report, made demands for
disarmament, with the threat of inva-
sion as the alternative.

While the committee was out, how

interest, such as the placing of de-
liveries on 20 and 40 O-acre tracts.
There is the usual interest in the
election, but balloting is not expected

Mutual Companies Aid.

Mutual Companies Aid.
After the sale the receiver and the
attorneys representing the various IN
tercsts met at the Irrigation District
office, where directors of the several
mutual companies had also assembled,
making payment to the district OF the
S125,OOO which they had agreed to
advance to the district, this fund be-
ing used as part payment by the
Southern Pacific Of the initial 10 per
cent of the purchase price, required
under the terms of the sale.
This was turned over to Receiver
Holabird in the form Of certified
checks, and thus the district entered
into the first stage of proprietorship
in the canal system.
The men representing the Interests
which have been in conflict for years
met with a trifle of constraint, but
there was a disposition manifest by
everybody to forget any friction in the
past and to start anew with good fel-
lowship, and the receiver and all the
attorneys joined in this spirit.
