lions OF critics Of the admiralty has been
the creation OF naval staff. In line with
the practice adopted in the war Office
which would be free from the vast and in
tricate administrative work OF the adj
miralty. The decision Of the government,
representing what Is perhaps the most i'm
portant change in British naval methods
during the war. will place direction Of the
navy's work in the hands Of trained sea
fighter. Sir John Jellicoe has spent his
life in the navy. He was placed in SUI
preme command Of the main feet at the
outbreak Of the war and retained that
post until November of last year. when
he was appointed first sea lord.

Austria Seeks Path
to Peace with Italy
Great Artillery Bombardment by Italians APP
pears to Be Breaking up o Cadorna's Inac-
tivity-Rumors Offset by Accommodating Evil

A great artillery bombardment by
the italians In the Isonzo front is told
in late dispatches. This may mean
that the long inactivity OF General Ca
dorna IL about to be broken. The Ital-
ian situation has been wrapped in con-
siderable obscurity and there
have been uncomfortable rumors
that the chaos in Russia was
inspiring the Central Powers to
mass forces for a great drive against
Italy. These rumors have been some-
what offset by the accumulative evil
dence that Austria Is seeking in every
direction a path to peace and Is will
ing To make great concessions toward
that end. In this connection the an
nounced visit Of Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hoilweg to Vienna assumes con-
siderable Importance.

in this respect.

INJUNCTION NOT YET BEGUN AGAINST U. s.

The water Users Association has not yet begun its - junction proceedings against the government in protest ot paying the SIS per charge for constructing the project and there seems be disposition to go little Dit slower than was indicated after the recent meeting o the board or governors.
 It seems to me that is rather bad time to even think of bringing this injunction sut for the reason that the fiscal year will be at an end 3O after which an addl- ona appropriation will have to be made by congress to go on with the project work.
 It is we'll known to everybody that the east and south have never been overenhusiasc about making appropa- ons for western reclamation projects As view it about the first thing that will be asked by congress when addl- tonal appropriations are asked for Yuma Project will be- Are they repayng the project costs that have been assessed by the secretary of the interior? When told that NOT CENT this vast has been paid back into the treasury but that the farmers are resisting this payment through the courts very much fear congress may not be as liberal as 1t should be.
 Right at the present time the government is spending thousand dollars per day to hold the evees against the flood waters which does cost the farmers single cent Over of protection work has already been spent but of which is included in the $75 per acre charge And this expenditure will be everlasting year after year If appropriation made for this necessary work we'll the overflow that comes along will wipe us off the map If lawsuit must be had then for goodness sake let's wait until congress makes annual appropra- on for project work In the meantime go ahead and see what be done by diplomatic work with the reclamation commission and Secretary Lane. thing much good can be accomplished in that direction.
