 Sailors to Their Fate.
 Amsterdam, March 23, via London. 11:32 a. m.-The Handelsblad says there are only six Americans among the survivors of the Healdton.
 In it's account of the sinking of the Healdton. the Handelsblad. says:
 ''The unreliability of the German, assurances regarding the so-called safe zone is shown by the reports of the crew of the Healdton and the crews of fishing boats.
 For safety's sake the Healdton chose the northern route. All went we'll until Wednesday evening at S:15 o'clock when submarine suddenly made treacherous attack. Without fully emerging and without 8 warn ing, it fired two torpedoes, which hit the steamer amidships, SO that the vessel, because of tho dangerous char acter of her cargo and an explosion in the engine room, caught fire at once. f
 ''The crew in three boats tried to leave the ship. Two sloops with thir- teen and seven men respectively, suc- ceeded in getting way, but the third, containing twenty-one men, capsized and nearly all were drowned.
 Survivors Exhausted.
 The crew of Dutch trawler which observed the fire from a great dis tance believed the glow to be that Of the aurora borealis and did not go to the rescue. The next day, however, seeing af sloop under sail, they at once stopped fishing and stsasned in the direction of the sloop whose oc- cupants were so exhausted that they were unable to bring their boat along side the trawler. The captain of the trawler finally managed to approach the sloop and some of the Dutch fish ermen jumped into the craft and brought 1t alongside, where the ship wrecked men were taken on board, cared for and supplied with dry clothes. All the property of the crew was lost.
 After the attack the submarine at once submerged and departed without troubling over the lot of the ship wrecked sailors.
 Among the crew of the Healdton were thirteen Americans, of whom six were rescued"

Allies, Cs,ief Problem Is to Hurry Ad- vance of Artillery Before Germans q Can Consolidate Positions to Which They Retired Progress Becomes Slower on south End of Great Battleficsd.

The initial phase of the tremendous battle which has opened in northern France has apparently turned in favor of the French. who are report- ed to have forced their way across the Ailette river and the Crozat canal At several points.

 Further south the French are att tempting to batter their way toward La0n but between them and their goal lie the great forests of Coucy and St. Gobain and the comparatively meaxer advance reported from Paris indicates that the issue is still very much in doubt.

NEW SOUTHERN PACIFIC DEPOT NOW AN AS
 SURED FACT.

In times gone by has been my pleasure we'll my duty to severely crticse the Southern Pacific Railway off cas for the abomnabe way Yuma treated in the mat ter of passenger traffic From time to time it has fallen to my lot to tell how that great corporation has wedged it's passenger trains between stock trains when the hermom eer registered away above the hundred mark making life almost unbeaabe those who had to sit in the at the stock yards station for twenty thirty minutes, while they only accorded couple of minutes breathing spell at the regular passenger depot have rebeed against this treatment for the past years and would have kept ham, merng the life out of the hgherups of them had
 tipped off the fact that depot grounds then being bar gained for Upon this fact being assured promised to say about the abomnable conditions until the end of the time set for work to begin the new depot
 Very recently Assistant General Manager Campbell was in Yuma and my pleasure to spend entire after noon with him. during which time he assured that the
 plans were almost completed for the depot and that he expected work begin within thirty sixty days Since then the last piece of realty necessary for the depot has been The blue prints have been made the grounds have been laid out and all that necessary for third street be wdened few feet from Main street back to- wards the railroad tracks point where it reaches railroad property. As will be by the accompanying rough sketch the railroad has purchased all the lands between Third and Fourth from the middle of the block back towards the railroad tracks The depot will be erected about the of this property block 2O and be reached from either Third or Fourth streets

FOUR STATES HOLD
 ELECTRIC CONVENTION

On April 19, 20, and 21, electric light and power men of four states, Califor- mia, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico, will meet in conference at Riverside, Cal.
 Fifty corporations, operating over a hundred water power and steam gen erating plants, and serving four mil lion people with light, heat and power, l will be represented.
 These companies employ 15,O00 peo- pie, have an annual payroll of over thirteen million dollars, and in 1916 spent over fifteen million dollars for material and supplies. The three days will be spent hear ing addresses and scientific papers read, with discussions thereon by the electrical experts and scientists pres ent, on better service to the public It is a remarkable fact that electric utilities, from telephones to power plants for supplying juice to pump water for farmers, depend on popular service for success. They are all interested not only in efficient service but without making rates low enough to stimulate univer- sal use, they cannot in the long run do profitable business.
 Another remarkable fact is that where fully developed the farmers are becoming the biggest customers for electric power. used in irrigating land and conducting dairying and farm operations.
 Another tendency that is being rap idly manifested is handling light and power plants in large units, reducing overhead expenses and increasing eff ciency of service to customers-The Manufacturer.
