ROME.--After 337 years the historic Villa Farnesina, located on the banks of the Tiber a half mile distant from st. Peters Church, will again be oc- cupied by decendants of it's original owners and builders. the Princess of Chigi.
 The head of the house, Prince Lud- ovic Chigi. who last year was appoint ed to the important position of Mar ahal of the Holy Church and the Guard of the Conclave and. therefore rules the Vatican during the interim be- tween the death of Pope and the election of a new one, recently dis posed of the Chigi palace, to the Ital- ian government. It is. stated that by this sale he was put in position to buy back the Villa Farnesine. erected in 509- by the papal banker Agostino Chigi and notable because of it's fires cocs by Raphael.
 The palace will be restored and refumished as it was when first oc- cupicd by the Chigi fainly. an auction sale having been held recently to rid the palace of the furniture left there by the King of Naples The return of the Chigis is considered remark able since it is proverbial in Rome

 pARIS,A train of POI French ofi- cers and men arrived in Lyons re- cemly-prisoners rcptratcd from Ger many. Of these, not fewer than 155 were out of their minds. Their req son had gone, probably under some terrific shell bombardmcnt leaving them often, without any bodily injury, incapable sf any mental effort. One. a typical example, was sec ond lieutenant. apparently 22 OF 23 years old. He was calm and quiet. but unable to reply to a question On his tunic was pinned a card with the words Picked up, without wound at ---, 1914.
 These unfortunates have been in- termed at Lyons, and their photo graphs are to be circulated through out the country in the hope of iden- tifying them, so that those who no doubt have long mourned them as lost forever, may perhaps be able to win them back from their living tombs.

ARMENIAN CAMPAIGN
STARTED At BRAWLfY

Yesterday Rev. w. D. Lands, the
official representative of the Arme-
pian-Syrian Relief Committee of New
York, met with many of the prominent
people of Brawley and organized
campaign for funds there. He reports
very encouraging progress all over
the Valley. He said today:
"a nation hangs in the balance.
Turkey has shot 100000 of the young
men and fathers of the Armenians.
Then she drove the mothers and chill
dren as we'll as the old men into the
children to die. They were goaded with
bayonets every step of the way, till
they fell exhausted and died by the
way. Others have escaped. Five dol
lars a month saves life. There are
400, 900 orphans, and they must be

for Christian work. The speakers at
thethe convention are the best that
Southern California affords-such
men as DR.. Francis Of Los Angeles
DIR. John Willis Baer, DIR. Springer,
DR.. Phillips, ETC., addressed the last
conference, and We may expect as
great a treat here next year. The
outspoken attitude of these young men
for decency and clean living among
BOYS cannot but have its influence
among the young fellows of our COM
munities. 1t is indeed a privilege to
entertain such delegation of the
best California affords in young men.
Before the convention is definitely
sent here the vote of the convention
will have to be ratified by the state
committee. 1t is hoped that the ex-
preston of opinion from Ell Centre
will be such that the committee will
feel that, in spite of the difficulties
of transportation, this is the logical
place for the next convention.
L. j. Thomas of Imperial, member
of the state committee, has pledged
his earnest support when the matter
came before them, as has State Coun-
ty Work Secretary William D. McRae
and State Boys Work Secretary Har-
nv o. Hill. With these men working
for the Valley and ready attitude
upon the part of the people OF FL
Centro and Imperial, the convention
should be an assured thing for the
Valley next year.

Washington. - Assurances reached
Washington that under no conditions
now conceivable will the provisional
government of Russia yield to the
overtures from German and Austrian
socialistic representatives to negotiate
a separate peace.
The entente embassies, with this as
urance before them, frankly confess a
great sense of relief.
The gathering of socialists at Stock
holm, known to be fomented by Ger
mans and Austrians, was looked upon
with dread. 1t was feared that cum.
ming appeals to the altruistic prin-
ciples of socialism, the universal
brotherhood of workingmen and such
considerations might force the pro.
visional government to consent to a
separate peace.

REGULATING FOOD PRICES
Council Of National Defense Asks for
Power To Regulate Prices On
foodstuffs.

Washington.-The government pro
gram for food control during the war
was put before congress by Secretary
Houston in communication to the
senate asking power to take direct su.
peryision of food production and dis
tribution in the United States and re
questing a s25.00000e appropriation
for putting the plan into operation
Authority was asked for the council OF
national defense, in an emergency, to
buy and sell foodstuffs and TO fix max
imum or minimum prices.
As outlined to the senate the gov.
ernment's plan Is first to make com.
plete survey of the country's food
supply to determine its ownership and
distribution. then If necessary to II
cense and control the operations of all
food or food agricultural implements
and all materials required for agri.
cultural purposes. Authority Is sought
for the agricultural department to
take over and operate the concerns il
1t appears that course is demanded by
the public interest.
Market grades and classes for farm
products, Secretary Houston said, is
one of the chief needs of the country
to insure proper conditions in produc-
ing farm products.
