Project Manager L. M. Lawson of the Fl Paso-Elephant Butte Project, passed through Yuma Monday on his way to the coast to join his wife and children, where he will remain for ten days or two weeks and then return to his labors at Fl Paso.
 He came unheralded-just dropped in as if from the clouds, but he was given a most cordial greeting by his many friends who learned to love and admire him while he was manager for Yuma Project. He looked in the best of health and was just as full of good humor as ever In company with Superintendent of Construction Ray M. Priest it was my pleasure and privilege to make trip down to the Hanlon heading with MT. Lawson, so he could see what things look like down there He was most favorably impressed with the work being done by Project Manager Schlecht to

IMPERIAL VALLEY DISTRICT OFFICIALS SEND
 CHICKENS HOME TO BOOST

The outrageous statements recently made in some of the Imperial Valley papers, and spread broadcast among the farmers of that section, wherein it was charged that the shortage of water for Imperial Valley was caused by reclamation officials of Yuma Pro ject, and which were denounced in these columns last week, have been officially denounced by the Imperial irrigation district, which shows that the statements richly deserved all that characterized them to be. The fol- lowing letters are self explanatory and should be read with satisfaction by every fair minded man in both I'm perial Valley and Yuma Valley:
 Fl Centro, Cal, Sept 27, 1917 MT. J. M. Thacker,
 President Board of Governors,
 Water Users Association,
 Yuma, Arizona.
 My Dear Judge: My attention has just been called to a published report crediting the board of directors of the Imperial irrigation district and my self, as their attorney, with blaming the Yuma people for our present wat CT shortage. This report is false, and has no basis of fact
 Representative of the various farm bureaus appeared before the board of directors of the Imperial irrigation district to discuss the recent shortage. During the discussion the entire his tory of the proceedings between the directors of our district and your board of governors was related, and of course it showed that there were strenuous objections on the part of your people to the weir, but it also showed that in the end, your people sacrificing many convictions of their own, agreed to the construction of the weir under certain conditions, but that since the agreement was made both parties have in good faith en- deavored to carry out the same in or der to prevent a water shortage in I'm perial Valley.
 We appreciate the friendly attitude

JOHN HURST PASSES AWAY
 AT SAN 9ERNARoINO, GAL.
(Yuma Daily Examiner.)


 Surrounded by his widowed mother, brother Albert and other immediate relatives, John Furst died at S:25 last evening at San Bernardino, fol lowing a second operation for appen- dicitis The telegram received last evening said: John died here at the hospital, under the second operation at S:25 p. m.-Albert Furst.
 John Furst has for several years roomed at the Godfrey home on Mad ison avenue and before leaving, two weeks ago, packed his soldier box with all his cherished keepsakes, in- cluding nearly dozen service medals and craftsmanship awards earned during six years membership in the Arizona national guard, now the First Arizona. He had washed and pressed his clothes in true soldier fashion and neatly packed them, ready to take with him to Camp Fun ston, when discharged from the San Bernardino hospital. To MT. God. frey, when he left he appeared dis appointed that he could not leave with the first five per cent. When he left Yuma he did not realize the dangerous character of his illness, but told his friends that he did not feel right, but guessed when he had visited his mother and others at his boyhood home, that he would be all right again.
 The Fursts were formerly wealthy and among the best people at San Bernardino, where John was born 24 years ago. The family, however, have met with reverses and a heavy mort gage now burdens the old home. Th4 Senior Furst was born in Germany, but was a loyal American, as are his sons.
 John Furst was an expert electri- clan and a genius for mechanics and was recently employed by the South ern Pacific Company, until he re- signed to go to war.
 The bereaved mother has the heartfelt sympathy of the Examiner and hundreds. of friends in Yuma in her great loss.

RESOLUTIONS OF SORROW BY THE ELkS' LODGE

The following resolutions were passed by the Elks' Lodge of Yuma, relative to the death of Eugene $. Ives
 Another chair is vacant in our lodge. Another brother has answered the call of the grand exalted ruler ot the universe. The passing of Brother Eugene S. Ives, charter member of Yuma Lodge No. 476, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, leaves void in our midst which will long be felt
 Brother Ives, a member of our Ledge for a score of years, came to Yuma, Ariz., a man of intelligence, education and brilliancy. He compre hended the wonders of nature. He realized the engineering possibilities of irrigation in the Yuma Valley. The completion by the United States rec, lamation service of the Yuma Project was only after MT. Ives had developed the engineering possibilities and the government responded to complete fo1 the people that which was not practi cal for private capital. Senator Ives and his associates blazed the trail for the government engineers to follow.
 He was always a leader in ouI midst. AS his father before him ran the first steamboat up the Colorado river and explored it's possibilities, SC Brother Ives was always first in the legal and legislative progress of ou1 civil government.
 Brother Ives came to Yuma, Ariz. from choice. He brought to us his exceptional ability as a citizen, and invested his worldly goods in our com munity He helped develop our re sources. He assisted in making oul laws. He shared our trials and tribu lations. He was one of us. We are better for his having come. In his departure we have sustained an ir retreviable loss.
 Senator Ives was of the people democratic in principle and progres sive in spirit.
 He was the proud husband and father of an estimable family who mourn his loss. He was an honorable and upright citizen. He eXempllf1eC the notices of our order, charity, jus tice and brotherly love, and showed fidelity to everything good. AS lodge we are proud to bow our heads il sorrow for the loss of this distinguish ed brother. Respectfully, GEO. MICHELSEN, GEO. s. VARIABLE, E. F. SANGUINETTI, Committee on Resolutions.

 Dear Sir: We have your esteemed favor of the 27th inst, directed to our president, MT. J. M.

We think it is up to the papers that created such false impressions to make adequate corrections and we trust you will be able to influence them to do so and send this office marked copies with said corrections for in event that your board, any time in the future, care to take up any mat ter that will be advantageous to you that we may assist you in, it strikes the writer that correction as sug gested above, made at this time vii place your directors in better posi- tion to deal with Yuma Valley people than they are supposed to be now aft CT reading the false report referred to by you We think the correction should have just as much publicity as the false report has enjoyed"
 We regret your water shortage very much, but of course we could do nc more to assist you than was done, but we think the reclamation service was in a position to and did lend you val uable service.
 Wishing you and your whole valley untold prosperity,
 Very sincerely,

An hour later another body of Ger

An hour later another body of Ger mans advanced on Novelties, which was held by one company of British troops. Here some of the stiffest fighting on the battle took place at close quarters. Both sides rushed up re-enforcements and for two hours the battle ragged through the streets and among the buildings. It was a melee in which the bayonet played the principal part. The Germans fought well, but they were not good enough to withstand the British, and gradually they were forced back across the canal to the east.
 Among the prisoners taken by the British were several officers who were caught in the regimental head quarters. The regimental commander was captured and it is reported his advent into the British lines was a humorous spectacle. He came tramp ing back clad in an elaborate fur coat, followed by two servants who carried more of his finery He was swearing at the turn of events. The sight Of a company of British cavalry threw him almost into frenzy and the lurid Ian guage which he directed at the British drew a smile from even the hardened Tommy, who has a somewhat pictur- esque vocabulary of his own.
 Civilians who were released from Masnieres rejoiced at their new found freedom, and many of them today still wept with joy when the subject of their delVerance was brought up. Among them was the mayor, NJ Les lain, a mjddle-aged man, who acted as spokesman. They first learned of the approach of the British from machine gun fire in the distance. They were immediately thrown into state of excitement and watched for the coming of their friends from every vantage poiu- available.
 They had their first sight of the advancing forces at the hridgehead and saw coming with the attacking forces strange monsters which they never dreamed existed. They were the great tanks and the peope stared in
Judsonia weekly advance., 1917-11-28

amazement as they ploughed their way forward.
 Only S80 Germans were holding the town and all except few left in the cellars withdrew five minutes before the British entered With the civil ians who greeted the British were two, German soldiers, one from AIsaee and the other from Lorraine, who had de- serted and were waiting to give them selves up 10 the British, with whom they sympathized.
 During the three years of their cap tlv-ty the civilians were fed by the American relief committee. Att other food was requisitioned by the Ger mans. who placed heavy penalties on those who concealed any. Many per sons served terms in Jail for alleged violation of the orders. They were well fed, however, owing to American relief, and all appeared healthy.
 Hid in Cellar Three Years.
 The Germans stripped all the. houses of the town of their furniture as soon as they entered. All men of military age were arrested and sent to Ger many. Women were compelled to do ell manner of work, such as sweeping streets, washing clothes of German officers and waiting on officers.
 The mayor declared his belief that Germany was actually starving. He said there seemed to be no doubt ci- vilians in Germany were undergoing great hardships.
 Among tie refugees was a man of military age who had hidden in eel lar three years to escape the Germans and had been fed by his wife with an extra ration of food allowed her be cause she had a baby. This man would have been arrested and sent to prison camp as soon as the Germans entered the town. He did not want to leave his wife and baby and so hid in secret place in the callar, thereby making himself liable to the death penalty if detected. German officers came to live in his house and daily he heard them tramping about above him. In accordance with the custom, this house and all others were searched frequently to see if any one was con- cealed, but the Germans never discov- cred his hiding place
 When the British entered the town the wife brought out her husband, who had his first glimpe of the outside world since August, 1914.
 The morning official announcement follows:
 Southeast of Ypres we advanced cur lines slightly during the night Hostile raids attempted in the night south of Nueve ,Ghapelle, northwest Of St. Quentin and northwest of Pon- turet were repulsed, leaving prisoners in our hands.
 There is no change on our front south west of Cambrai."

London.-The British have advanced ther line slightly in Flanders, south east of Ypres, the war office an- nounces.
 They also drove back the enemy at the elevation called Tadpole eopse, which dominates large section of the Canal du Nord and a large part of Moeuvres, in the Cambrai area.
 The success of tEe British arms in the Cambrai sector has continued to grow steadily, and Field Marshal Haigs troops, in a little more than two days fighting, have overrun an sarea equal in size to that won by the Germans during the first 15 days of their spectacular drive on Verdun. British cavalry, tanks and infantry are battling their way forward along 8 line which at many points west and southwest of Cambrai was less than three miles from that important town. The advance also was spreading
Judsonia weekly advance., 1917-11-28

northward in the region of Bullecourt and the salient toward Cambrai was being widened. The total of prison CTS captured must approach the 5000 mark
 At the last line the British and Ger, mans are at grips on comparatively open ground, and some of the fiercest hand-to-hand fighting of the war has been going on. The enemy troops were unprepared for the attack, but they have been putting every ounce of their strength into an attempt to stem the rising tide.
 Troops have been pulled away from other points and rushed to the Cam brai sector by the desperate Germans and so hard pressed were they for men that two companies of cripples and convaleseents were recruited has tily at one camp and thrown into the line in the region of Masnieres.

Fighting in Open.

Some of these pitiful objects are in British hands and are receiving med ical treatment. One prisoner was in the last stages of tuberculosis and he had to be moved to prevent the dis ease from spreading to the others, who were in a state of cruel exhaus- tion and virtually helpless from their valiant attempts to fight under the lash of their unrelentipg officers.
 The great battle field has taken on the aspect of scenes in wars gone by. It is no longer a conflict of trenches and shell holes, but of men struggling bitterly with rifles and bayonets over a virgin battle ground while the long neglected cavalry sweeps in pictur- esque charges against the enemy po- sitions over the wide territory in- volved.
 The roads everywhere for two days have been swarming with advancing troops and with prisoners and civilians coming back from the front. Many re-

To be the consort of queen, to be
beloved by her people both high and
low, to be the real but unobserved ad-
wiser of the affairs of an empire, these
are achievements worth while.
To be cut off from all of them at the
prime age of az by wholly prevent
able disease seems wanton. 1.-THE good
Prince Albert, consort of Queen VIC
toria, patron of the arts and sciences,
a sklllful administrator and an upright
man was sacrificed to filth disease.
Typhoid fever is found only in man.
1t il caused by short od-shaped
microscopic vegetable, which enters
the body through the mouth and leaves
1T in human discharges to enter another
human me nth to which it is carried by
fingers, flies, fluids and food.
1t is essentially disease of young
adult life. Older people are less apt
to have 1t probably because they have
suffered from an attack of the disease
in their youth.
Typhoid fever Is known by various
names, "slow fever, low fever"
but whatever name 1t is called by it
kits about 8 per cent of those whom 1t
attacks. A certain percentage of those
who recover become carriers, that is,
persons who though well, excrete the
organisms of the disease in their dis
charges.
Carriers are largely responsible for
the perpetuation Of typhoid fever, but
the installation of proper sewer sys-
TENS which not only take away noxious
wastes but also do not deposit them IN
some one elseS water supply, the abO-
liton OF flies, cockroaches. and other
filth insects, the maintenance of pure
food supply, and the intelligent care of
the typhoid patient these are the
measures which Will rid US from this
{ isease.
Until very recently typhoid has been
the scourge of armies but now the anti.
typhoid incubation has reduced this
danger to minimum.
The PrlnceCoHsOrt was universally
mourned. The grief of the queen was
deep and lasting and the whole nation
sympathized IN the truest sense with
her IN her sorrow.

allied position mourn also because of
