The fact that Germany requires
Great Britain to cease operations she
terms contrary to international law
was expected and at first blush of
ficials inclined to the request that
America undertake to bring about
such change as may be justifiable.
1t was pointed out that Germany
has issued an order that meets the
American contentious. If Germany
later, because the United States fails
to bring Great Britain to meet the
German contentious, rescinds the or
der announced today, there will be a
new issue for the United States to
face. This has no part in the pres
cnt situation, it was said. On the
other hand, some officials believe that
Germany has again "passed the buck
to the United States. The very ma
ture of the reply put this country
en- probation" making successful set

German Answer
Is Big Problem

Washington May 6-The whole thought of Washing
ton today directed to the study of the reply OF Germany
TO the American note The official document not yet de-
coded and reliance thus far is the newspaper accounts
of the which have gone into the details of the German
message
Officials, like the newspapers, have taken diverse
views of the nature of the reply though it is now believed
it will be taken satisfactory providing Germany pro-
ceeds lines of submarine activity in conformity to the
spirit of the American demands Yet there are not want
ing many who look on the reply as evaslve
Following some of the newspaper comments:
New York Evening Sun-We cordially hope our gov
ernmen may find in this note the solution of our own diff
Guilty but general indication respects the prospects
of peace it fills with gloom. Plainly Germany is net IN
the hmor yet to heed the councils of wisdom or human
ity. She is still world-defant.
New York Globe-The reply is thus not to be accepted
as settlement of the matters dispute between the Unit
stantia compliance No sphere would thus seem open to
but to carry out its declared intention to
sever diplomatic relations.
Boston Traveler-The note is an amusing conlbna-
ton of evasons denias irony and fact 1t is an invitation
to the president to begin series OF communications
Baltimore News-The United States demanded the
establishment of certain status quo. Germany has es
tabshed it. How long she will maintain it is an
other question: But for the time being left nothing
to complain of.
Chattanooga News-The German note is about as sat
isfactory could be expected The lmmedlate issue IS
whether or not the concessions made sufficient We
believe they will cause better feeling among the Amei
can people,
Pittsburg Chronicle -Teegraph-So far as words go,
Germany has granted main contenon but II her ac-
ton only temporary and depends on the future course
of Great Britain the situation fraught with grave
peril to our friendly relations.

Chester Allison
On Silt Situation

Many of the most prominent farmers of the valley,
including directors Of the mutual water companies ana
of the Irrigation District at the Barbara Worth no.
tel this morning to listen to Engineer Chester Alsons
report on his trip to Washington to interest the
government in the solving of the silt problem of the Colo
Iado river
Chairman r. f. Wills Of B1awley presided and there
was present c. E. TAFT of the Bureau Of Irrigation nves-
tgation Department of Agriculture who has done great
deal of work in the valley, and who represented Director
FOrter.
Mr. Allison recited the interest that had been mani
fest in Washington and the willingness of the Department
of Agriculture the valley in this important work
He read letter from the Bureau of Roads and Rural En-
gineeing in which there proposal to 4 900 this
year the work. the Farm Assembly of the valley to CO.
operate by furnishing engineer to work with the gov
ernment men to- be assigned to the task.
Great interest manifested by those present IN the
work outlined and it is evident some definite procedure
will be taken.
Later the meeting passed resolution authorizing Mr.
Allison to continue his work in connection with the Agr1-
cultural Department. and recommending that the mutual
water companies bear expenses up to $4,000 to meet an
equal appropriation by the government to defray the ex-
penses of the work. This will necessarily go to the mu
tua companies for approval, but they were in
great part represented at the meeting it is believed there
will be no hitch in the proceedings

Anniversary of Lusitania.

New York, May 6.-One- year ago
tomorrow the Lusitania was torpedoed
and sunk by a German submarine, with
the loss of $50 American citizens.
New York and other cities in the
East and Middle West tomorrow will
conduct services "of an impressive and
dignified nature, somewhat in the ma
ture of protest" according to state
ment issued by the American Rights
Committee.
The meeting in this city will be
held in Carnegie hall. 1t is not the
purpose of those in charge of the eX-
ercises to turn them into an active at
tack upon the administration, but
rather to use them as memorial for
the American dead who never have
been avenged.
Schenectady and Philadelphia have
already completed plans for similar
services, as have Chicago, Cleveland
and other American cities.

Washington, May 6.-Within ten
minutes after the final and vital par
agraphs of the German reply to the
American submarine demands reached
Washington, President Wilson and his
cabinet met to consider the commu-
nication. The cabinet members had
teen getting the reply piecemeal from
the wires. The conference was with
(ne apparent thought-Germany has
conceded the demands, but there was
some show Of uncertainty because
conditions are made. The sudden tran
sition of the reply from sarcastic,
contentious tone, belittling the Unit
ed States attitude, to flat statements
that met practically all concessions
called for by the government, left the
cabinet officers somewhat confused.
The general disposition seemed to
be to consider the submarine issue
practically closed for the time be-
ing.

Holt's Striking Invention
Has Double Utility Scope

A very simple invention made by
w. F. Holt and now under experiment
tai test here promises to revolution
ize suburban traffic everywhere.
The invention consists Of flanged
car wheel inside the rubber tire of a
truck, the rubber tire having the
greater diameter. By means of a de-
vice the car is made to run with au
tomato control when upon rails, or
shifted to have the regular automo-
bile steering apparatus when on the
highway.
In this way, the car is adapted to
Use either on rails CT on the highways,
and can be run onto or off the rails
at any place and be depended on to
give proper service under either con-
dition.
The biggest question transportation
companies have to contend with is the
jitney bus and the auto truck, which
reach the patrons directly. The design

IMPRESSIVE MILITARY
PARADE is FEATURE

Calexico Chronicle: The streets Of
MeXicali flashed gay in the morning
sun yesterday, alive with the green
and the white and the red, Mexican
national colors, displayed on every
pillar, post and building as tribute
to the heroes of "Cinco de Mayo
1t was on the fifth day of May, 1862,
when the MeXicans first defeated the
French at Pueblo, and all over Mex
leo yesterday celebrations were held,
business was shut down, legal busi-
ness ceased from grinding, and every
Mexican man, woman and child, cele-
LIated the national holiday.
Under the administration Of Colonel
Cantu, military governor of Lower
California, the towns of MeXicali, En-
senada, Tia Juana, Tecate and AlgO-
dones were all aglow with the holiday
spirit.
The celebration at MeXical proved
to be a decided success.
The most impressive feature was
the parade in the morning, when
what Mexican authorities say, was
half the garrison at MeXicali cuartel,
paraded through the streets of the
Baia California capital and passed
in review before Colonel Cantu as the
."Commandancia Mlitar."
Included in the parade, in the order
named, were the children of the Mex
lean school, citizens on foot, custom
house officials, members Of the Mex
icali police force, staff officers, drum
mers and buglers, the battalion band,
the Twenty-fifth battalion Of infan-
try, and artillery and cavalry. The
school children and citizens dropped
out before Colonel Cantu reviewed the
troops. The forces were in command
of Lieutenant Colonel Barranco.
In the afternoon an excellent pro-
gram was carried out in. the park at
Mexicali, as outlined in the Chronicle
recently. In addition, following the
program, sports were indulged in, in
cluding horse racing and other eN-
citing events. The horse racing was
particularly good, some fast horses
being entered and ridden by expert
Mexican riders. A large crowd heard
the program and witnessed the sports.
In the evening a grand ball was Civ
en- in the Plaza of the Heroes Of Cha
pultepec.

which Mr.. Holt has patented and of
which he now has working model
in Ell Centre is designed to meet this
class of competition. The truck will
be able to use the streets of a city
in gathering freight Or passengers,
then take to the track and. make a
regular run at high rate Of speed.
The appliance IS being tested here
is attached to Moreland truck, and
will be put in commission in due time
en- the Holton Interurban road.
Many railroad men have manifested
g great deal of interest in the inven-
ton, and at many points in the coun-
try it has a field of great usefulness,
while it is believed possible that it will
solve very generally the interurban
passenger problem
1t is hoped in the near future to
have these trucks running on hour
schedules between uptown points in
Holtville and Ell Centric.

Water for North Side.

Calexico Chronicle: H. j. Havens,
president of the North Side Water
Company, was in CaleXico yesterday,
Interviewing Chief Engineer Rock
wood and Director c. w. Brockman
of the district as to securing new
ditch for that company.
Heretofore the company has been
securing it's water by the waste from
the Alamo and has had a sufficient
supply by using it in this manner. But
the waste water has dwindled away
from the increased used in other parts
of the district and as a result the
North Side company is beginning to
suffer.

FIRED FOR
ATTACK ON WILSON

Washington, May 6. - Ernest
Bruncken, assistant registrar Of the
copyright division of the Library Of
Congress, was dismissed today for
making statements derogatory to
President Wilson and the United
States. He was formerly city attor-
ney Of Milwaukee. Bruncken haa
been under investigation for several
days.
"Wilson is traitor is one of his
alleged statements. He was also
charged with saying:
Beside Wilson, Benedict Arnold was
a patron saint America is the tail
Of British civilization. The mouth
piece of Great Britain is going TO
speak today
This was said, it was claimed, the
day the president went to address
Congress on the submarine issue
When the Lusitania was sunk with
terrible loss Of life, Bruncken is al
legged to have cried:

tlement of the present difficulty en-
tirely dependent upon Americas at
titude toward Great Britain. SO far
as the language is concerned, officials
were inclined to pass over certain
caustic irrelevant passages as "for
home consumption"
Rejection Of this country's evidence
in the Sussex case, however, is a
thorn in the side Of optimism. The
government had considered the case
against Germany on this point COM
piete.
No definite action will be taken by
the cabinet, it is expected, until the
official text arrives by cable.

A coast defense reserve would TAX
in persons whose occupations fit ther
for naval coast defense work, mini,
ships, submarine chasers and ra-
operation.
The bill appropriates $4,000
school purposes in that connection an,

ization should be maintained in every
American seaport.
A volunteer reserve would include
persons willing to train without COM
pensation for war duty.
