TERS, DECLARE ENGINEERS.

Seventy PER cent Of the water pumped

only IN the Lower Rio Grande Valley, bat
in all other irrigations districts in Texas.
il wasted and u dead loss to the farmer
according Ia 4 statement made in Browns
vile today w II. Il. Gore Of the state
board Of engineers, and asscntcd by by
John Wilson, also q member of the board.
Messrs. Gore and Wilson were in Browns
vile today after having completed tour
Of the upper Valley, in the Mission Shary-
land, McAllen. Mercedes. Pharr ard Edn-
burg districts. They left this morning
for the Little Indiana section, below
Brownsville, and other irrigation tracts in
that direction.
The state board of engineers, which is-
sues irrigation rights in the state. has long
been endclvoring Ia iiId solution Of the
problem of waste irrigation waters. To this
end they recently had introduced 4 meas
ure in the legislature defining waste irri-
CATION water, and making the waste of ir-
rigation water Il msdemeanor. The meas
ure however was placed on the house cal
cndar, and il j. not expected Ia come up
again ut this session Of the legislature. The
engineers state that such 4 measure j. the
only solution 10 the problem. and should
il become law il i believed that, with
the co-operation of the county attorneys
"a great saving IN the cost Of irrigation will
be realized.
I've came down to inspect tho irrigated
tracts IN general way and To see whether
there j. any service the state board can
perform" Mr.. Gore said today in explain

We find that here a. in other parts of the
state the waste of irrigation waters l.
enormous, Fully seventy per cent of the
amount pumped doing the farmers abso-
lutely no good and yet which costs them
their good money The farmers Of the ir-
rigated districts must educate themselves

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March g.
Four Americans from the steamer Var
rowdale who have been prisoners in Ger
Germany for three months, arrived here
today. They were practically destitute.
They owe their release in advance to the
remainedr of the seventy-two Americans
brought in by the Yarrowdale to the fact
that they were physicians or veterinarians
and ranked as officers and were confined
in the Officers camp at Karlsruhe. The
others are still held in Quarantine mt the
prison camp ut Dutken. N4
The four men left the camp, at Karls-
ruhc February -, travelling direct TO
Wainemund under escort. AZ Wanrrmnnd,
after being subjected 10 the usual from
tier search, they were put aboard n DAN
i~h ferry and left to shift for themselves.
Danish police took charge OF them on
their arrival in Denmark, provided them
quarters and gave them their first. hearty
meal since landing in Germany in Desem-
Ter. AyA
Few more dramatic tales have been
brought forth by the war than the story
of hardship and peril at sea, and short
rations on land.
Snapped up by the German raider in
mid ocean, they cruiaed around for days
while the commerce destroyer was gather
ing prizes. Then they made the voyage
in the Yarrovdale ID Swincmunde under
such conditions they expected the ships
steams In open and the vessel to sink be-
meath them at any moment. They then
lived for two months in prison camps en-
meager prison fare provided BY the Ger
man government without the food parcels
which comfort other prisoners of war. !.

WASHINGTON, d.. c., March 2.-When
the senate takes up the armed neutralit
bill at o'clock this afternoon an effort
viii be made to substitute for the bill
passed BY the house last night senate
bill authorizing the use of "other instrn-
mentalities" in addition to arming mer-
chant ships. This bin is backed by the
administration and is expected To he ae-
cepted later by the house. Congressman
who have been trying to force an extra
session admit its improbabilty at least
until June.
President Wilson last night responding
10 the senate resolution, laid before that
body official information that the United
States is in possession of evidence es.ab-
fishing the authenticity of the Official doe
ument disclosing how Germany intrigued
to ally Mexico and japan with her in war
on the United States.
In transmitting the evidence TO the SEN
ate the president stated that his evidence
had come into the posse>ison OF the United
States within the past week and that the
Associated Press disclosure OF Foreign
Minister Zinmcrmann's letter was anthem
tlc. lie said that il was Incompatible
kith the public interest at the present time
to give further information.
i The resoulti6n asking for information
from the president came at the end of a
day of solemn debate in the senate which
reached climax when republicans joined
with democrats in condemning the aiti-
Jude Of Sspator Stone, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, who declared
rfat the Story was given out by the gov
eminent 10 affect public opinion.
The subject engrossed the scnaie'S at
tention nh Jtsy and the session continued
last night. Senators on both sides ex
pressed amaxement at the story. Mr..
Stone, after being voted down in commit
tee, carried the tight TO the floor to learn
how the note came info the possession OF
the government. The Missouri senator
stated be wanted information for himself,
at the same time expressing great conf
dence in President Wilson, who is able
to take care Of himself, The resolution
was finally passed.
The bill empowering the president to
arm merchant ships but not extending 10
Mr.. Wilson authority to use ''other instru-
mentalities" in defending American rights
passed the house last night by a vote of
403 TO -.
After ten hours of debate the house, by
an Overwhelming majority, passed the bill
empowering the president TO arm mer-
chant ships and providing a 100000. 900
bond issue, but not containing authority
for the use Of .'other instrumentalities. ''
When the hill reaches the senate today
this will be added and is expected to be
finally adopted as law.
In the senate an attempt to ask for the
governments source of the Zimmerman
SETTER was defeated after a sharp de-
hate. Instead the senate merely asked
President Wilson il the report was authen-
tic. The president replied that it was au-
thentic but further Information would be
Incompatible with the public interests. The
result was, with bnt few exceptions. the
decision of congressman to stand behind
the president.
