Lieutenant Crozier's Lecture


Yesterday evening Lyric
Theatre was literally packed
with interested people drawn to
listen to the lecture announced
by Lieutenant Corzier, of the
Nineteenth Winnepeg Rifles,
who gave a clear and lucid &C.
count of his personal experience
at the front with the Canadian
army, and his knowledge of the
details of the great world con-
flict in which he has borne a
most honorable part. AS the
article in The Daily Morning
Oasis of yesterday foreshadow-
ed to a great extent the lines
along which the lecturer would
talk, it is not necessary to make
much extended mention at this
time.
The audience was interested
greatly in the flags, souvenirs
of the war eac., presented by Mr..
Crozier, and rapt attention was
given every utterance.

Poisonous matter cloGged in the in

the system, is re-absorbed into the

Imperial Valley press., 1917-04-07

General Leonard Wood is quot
ed as saying that there are one
million young men becoming
available each year for the army
and of that number half are fit
for entrance into the army Oh
navy. The other 100000 lack ply
sical endowments to enable them
to take up the sterner side of
war, but they are capable of be-
ing used in various other ways.
The hospital, the commissary,
munition factories, clerks, ETC.,
will provide berths for them. At
this time the nation needs men
for the navy, and needs them
badly. When big battleship is
accepted by the department it fre-
quently occurs that a crew is
borrowed here and there from other
ships so that a trial run may be
made. Life in the navy is a triae
more alluring than the soldiers
life. There is greater opportunity
for advancement, especially in
time of war. A mother dislikes
the parting with her son who en-
ters the service of his country,
but there will always be maternal
pride when she thinks that her
boy is doing his duty. She may
feel her eyes become frequently
moistened with thoughts of what
she had planned for her son, but
the true mother in her will re-
joice that she bore one who did not
shirk.

Looking Thru the Keyhole
By Phil O. Sopher

With reference to the danger
Imperial Valley might be in sihce
war has been declared against
Germany it may be said that it is
practically negligible. Of course,
each community in the United
States feels that the Kaiser has
it in mind for immediate destruc
tion upon the appearance Of
Uhlans and U-boats at our shores.
Imperial Valleys one danger lies
to the south. Imperial Valley is
perhaps the greatest single agri-
cultural section in America, but
as strategic position and a place
for loot the Valley is nil. If Ger
many resorts to bribing Mexico
to do dirty work, it is presumed
that sufficient troops will be on
hand at the Imperial border to
cope with the situation. At the
present time soldiers are guard
ing the irrigation works at vaIi-
Gus places and arrangements
have Lcen made to extend Ghc pre-
cautions to the degree required
by circumstances. When New
York, San Francisco, Baltimore,
Washington, Boston, New Orleans
and other large cities along the
coast offer such rich prizes in
conquest it is but natural to as
sumo that no invasion would ex-
tend to remote localities where
nothing could be gained.
x x x
Ell Centro is alive to the spirit
of national patriotism. Each in
dividual has resolved himself in
to committee Of one to guard
the country from overt acts by
radical aliens. Those foreign
born residents who calmly submit
to the regulations as provided by
the administration will in no man
ner differ from the citizen who is
naturalized or native born. Free
dom is the keynote in the arch
of American history and the ma
tions guarantees the pursuit Of
liberty to all. But in a cosmo-
politan population like that in the
United States it may be relied
upon to find some rabid intoler-
ant who will fan the flames of
amor patriae so that it will be-
come necessary to restrict the ut
terances and actions of those not
in sympathy with preserving the
traditions of this country. There
are married men in this city who
are itching to join the first re
cruits. Not that they have war
at home, but merely in the ebul-
liency of patriotic fervor. The
youth of Imperial Valley will re-
spond without urging and those
exempted will doubtless contrive
means to aid the government in
carrying out the plans of the
war.
