the valley. With the other corpora
tion as buyer, the purpose apparently
would be to put the irrigation system
on purely business basis for the sake
of the annual revenue to be derived,
and this corporation might be better
prepared than the people themselves
to finance the work to be done to get
the system in first class shape.
1t is not known that there is the
slightest basis of fact behind the ru-
mors that have been in circulation,
and Colonel Holabird but few days
ago stated that so far as he knew
there was no other bidder in sight,
save the possibility of some of the
creditors bidding to force the sale to
the price which had been agreed on,
Imperial Valley press., 1916-02-07

! to make sure their interests would be
protected.
| Colonel Holabird is figuring on clos
ing the receivership in the course of
few days, the sale of the property
bringing to an end his control, which
has lasted for six years.
Among the other companies which
rumor had connected with the pos
sibility of bidding on the c. ID. proper
! ty is the British and American Mer-
camille Company. J. Elliott Druiff,
manager of the company this morning
dismissed the rumor, saying he had
not before heard of it and that there
was no foundation for it. This ru-
NOR probably grew from the fact that
the company 3 years ago made an Of
fer to purchase the irrigation system.

legal, and by conceding that it was
wrong TO cause the death Of Amer!-
cans by such an act of retaliation to
yield to the American views. The
fact that, coupled with this, is an ac-
acknowledgement Of her obligation to
pay indemnity, which German Off
cials regard as an implied admission
the German belief that the reply con-
.cedes the American demands and
that the case should be considered
closed.
The cardinal points of the tentative
form of settlement were obtained. The
agreement is prefaced with the state
ment that submarine warfare in the
North sea was inaugurated by Ger
many in retaliation for what she re-
garded as the "illegap British block
ade, under the orders in council. 1t
then states that the method of con-
Quoting submarine warfare in the
North sea has been modified on ac-
count of the friendship Germany has
for the United States and because of
the fact that American lives have been
lost. Germany says that the killing
of Americans was not intended, be-
cause reprisals should not be applied
to neutrals, and in addition to express
ing regret for the loss of American
lives assumes liability and offers rep
aration in the form of indemnity.
The last portion of the document ex-
presses the readiness of Germany to
cooperate with the United States in
any effort looking toward the freedom
of the seas.
The most significant development of
the day came in the announcement
by Secretary Lansing that the United
States and Germany are not dead
locked in the Lusitania negotiations.

There have been rumors that con-
rect two powerful corporations with
the intention to bid in the property.
Whether this is true of both of them
or of either of them cannot be known
until the sale is held at $3.50 tomor-
row morning by the receiver, Colonel
w. II. Holabird.
With one of these corporations as
bidder, the purpose would probably
be to connect the irrigation system
with other interests in way that
might not be wholly to the interest of

Better Outlook for Settlement
Of Issue With Germany

NIT her obligation to pay indemnity.
The first of Germany's admissions
therefore falls short to a certain ex-
tent Of the assurances asked by the
United States; the second complies
with the American demand. The lat
ter at least is concession on Ger
many's part. Heretofore her position
was that she would be willing to pay
indemnity as a matter of grace, not
as an obligation.
The question to be decided by Presi-
dent Wilson is whether Germany's ad-
mission that an act Of retaliation, such
as the sinking of the Lusitania, is not
justified when it imperils the lives
of neutrals, is in purpose and effect
sufficiently like an admission of the
illegality of the killing of Americans
to be satisfactory to this government.
The German reply on this PROPOSE
ton, it has been established definite
ly, does not contain the word ellie
gal"
The German reply, it is believed, is
an effort to strike a compromise which
recognizes the merit of each govern
ment's contentious, and, at the same
time, have the effect of granting
the point insisted Upon by the United
States. The position Of Germany has
always been that an act of retaliation
is legal, and in support of this Ger
many has advanced that it is per-
mitted under international law.
The United States, on the other
hand, while admitting that it has been
general practice and as such is dealt
with in all works Of international law.
holds that it is contrary to the prin-
ciples of international law.
In her reply, therefore, Germany
endeavors to remain consistent in her
position that the sinking of the Lusi
tania, being an act of retaliation, was

Tomorrow is the day which is eX-
pected to decide finally whether the
people of Imperial Valley are to ac-

use as their own property.
1t has been taken for granted that
thele wood be no hitch in the pro-
ceedings, and in all probability they
will be consltmmated in accordance
with the district program, to the
Southern Pacific Company, to be re-
sold to the Irrigation District.
And yet the possibility is seen that
there may be higher bidder than

is concerned, it is known to all men
that there is definite price fixed al

Washington, Feb. 7.-Again affairs
have swung to the more peaceful out
look in the Lusitania affair.
While Germany still refuses to adj
NIT the illegality Of the destruction
of life 10y sinking the great liner, she
takes the ground that she was justi-
fled in rotaliating for offenses by
England. She admits, however, that
the lives of neutrals should not be
destroyed in an act designed to pun
ish combatant, and comedies her la
bility for indemnity.
This does not satisfy the contention
of the United States, and it does not
fully re-establish> the principles of in
ternational law for which America has
contended, but it may go far enough

Germany maintains that the sink

as such it was legal, but she acknowl-

justified when it imperils the safety
of neutrals.
Germany makes an explicit adms
sion of her obligation to pay indem-
nifty for the American lives lost with
the Lusitania.
The demands of the United States

Commission Discusses Post War
Problems in This Country

Columbus, o. Dec. 29.-Four ma
cfeties we're today holding the final
sessions of their annual convention
at the Ohio state university, where
problems likely to arise in this coun-
try following the war in Europe and
labor problems were being discussed
by men of national reputation.
The organizations in session are the
American economic association, the
American sociological society, the
American statistic association and
the American association for labor
legislation
I'VE shall have capital after the
Mar but shall not have labor enough
70 employ it," said George E. Roberts
of the National City Bank of New
York, discussing the situation of the
United States at the close of the war
With special reference to the gold
supply.
Labor Plus Capital.
The labor of Europe and the cap
ital. Of America will have to be
brought together" said Mr.. Roberts.
"Conditions seem to favor the trans
fer Of capital in the form of gold, to
Europe rather than the revolt of the
population from Europe to America
he added.
1.-THE result is that while the coun-
try's stock of gold has increased
from Jan. l to Nov /, by approxi-
mately $40O,O00,OO0. the federal re-
serve bank of New York, upon which
the demand for gold export must in
eVitably fall, has gained less than
$5.0O0,O00 and all the federal re-
serve banks together have gained less
than S132, 900, 600"

The general monetary situation the
transfer of gold to the bank reserves
Of the country and other countries
and the increased use of paper money
Ia Europe undoubtedly has and Will
continue to have an influence for
higher prices, Mr.. Roberts said
