 sirous of establishing physical connec
 tion of it's irrigation system with tht
 diversion works of the Yuma Projec
 at Laguna dam, for the purpose of SC curing a more dependable supply O
 water for the irrigation of the lands ir Imperial Valley, California To that
 end, Imperial irrigation district through it's boald of directors, ex presses the hope of an agreement with the Yuma County Water Users Association, through it's board of gov ernors, representing the people of the Yuma community, whereby the inter ests of both communities may be ser T. ed and the influence of both may be joined in such representations to the secretary of the interior and the con- gress of the United States (should the occasion for legislation arise), as will effect that purpose.
 ?. On it's part, and on behalf of the people and community represented by it, the board of governors of the Yuma County Water Users Associa- tion declares it's willingness that tho proposed connection should be made, under such terms and conditions as will insure justice to all parties, effect the common good and welfare, and safeguard the physical, legal, moral and equitable rights and advantages, as they are derived from and apper- tain to the Yuma Project and the wat CTS of the Colorado river, now pos sessed and enjoyed by it's citizens, the water users, the property owners and the lands of the Yuma district.
 3. Upon such a statement of exist ing needs and responsive sympathies, the parties hereto mutually de Hare a cordial wish for harmonious and frank cooperation, not only in the attain ment of the objects set forth, but as well in the processes by which such ends are to be secured, and in addi- tion thereto, in all other matters af- fecting the common welfare of the re- spective communities, acknowledging recognition of the fact that in the broader sense the interests of both districts, so closely joined and so simi lar in character, are identical, and that whatever will permanently inure t. the benefit of one must likewise be ol lasting benefit to the other.

WILL REQUIRE TEN MONTHS
TO BRING BACK AMERICANS
Four Ports Selected by War Depart
ment for Use of Returning
Americans

Washington, Nov 30-Boston, New
York. Newport News, Va, and Charles
ton, S. c., are the ports the war de-
partment now plans to use for the re-
turn of the army from overseas. Even
with this wide distribution of the
strain on port facilities and transpor-
tation, however. and with German
ships now idle in German harbOrs EN-
ployed on the task, estimates show
that the last of the army could not
possibly reach the United States in
less than eight mGnths. Conservative
calculations upon which preparations
by the department probably will be
based, fix 10 months as the minimum.
These estimates have been made
wholly on the basis of the physical
difficulties to be overcome and do not
take into consideration the question
of the retention In Europe for some
time of an American force which may
be agreed upon at the peace confer
ence. If the return movement, already
In progress, is continued at full speed,
the last division in all probability
could not reach the United States be-
fore October, 1919.

To Reclaim Throne.

London, Nov. 30-The former Ger
man emperor contemplates an early
return to Germany to reclaim his
throne, according to news received in
London through a neutral source of
high standing, says the Daily Mail.
The newspaper adds that the revo-
luton in Germany is being managed
by officers of the German high COM
mand with view of eventually caus-
ing its collapse and the triumphant
return of the former emperor to Ber-
lin. Some of these officers in civilian
clothes have been recognized in the
streets of Berlin. Many of them are
reported to be dressed as workmen.
These officers harrangue the crowds
as comrades, and in every way encour-
age the revolutionary movement. 1t
is added, however, that if opportunity
offers they Will abandon their disguise,
contend that the revolution is failure
and begin a counter revolution.
Agents of these officers, it is de-
clared, are furthering this plot by
spreading anti-British propaganda in
Holland with the object of embitter-
ing the Dutch against the allies.
Premier Clemenceau of France will
arrive in London tomorrow with Mar
shall Foch, to discuss the procedure to
be followed in demanding the surren-
der of the former emperor of Germany
to the allies.

READY FOR SENATE.

DOWNWARD REVISION OF
BIG BILL
MAY NOT PASS UNTIL MARCH
Questions of Collections for Next Year
Now Loom Large-Revised Bin
Contains New Second Glass
Postage Rates
MAY NOT PASS UNTIL MARCH

Washington, Nov. 30.-The senate fl
nance committee last night completed
revision Of the war revenue bill, de-
signed tosraise $6.OOO,OOOOOO in taxes
in 1919 and about $4,000, 100000 in 1920
The measure is virtually rewritten to
meet the changed conditions attend
| ing the end of the war; 1t now goes
to the printer and will be reported to
| the senate next week, probably on
Thursday.
Senate debate, Senator Simmons said
last night may begin the following Sat
urday or Monday.
With Republicans lined up solidly in
opposition to inclusion of 1920 tax rates
in the bill, it was conceded in all guar
tiers that discussion in the senate will
delay passage of the measure and
many senator's expressed doubt that it
can be enacted before March 3, the
date of the ending of this, the final
session of the Sixty fifth congress.
Suggest Some Expedients.
In view of the expected delay, senate
leaders and treasury department Of
ficials alike are concerned over the
question of collecting taxes next year,
as it now is admitted that unless the
new law is enacted before January /,
collections must be made under the
present revenue bill, the yield from
which is only about $4,OOOOOO,O 900.
Several expedients including adoption
of emergency legislation, incorporat-
ing some of the features of the pend
ing bill. are under consideration.
Senator Simmons said last night he
doubted whether the Republicans would
file a minority report attacking the
1920 tax program, and added that they
might content themselves with making
opposition to that proposal
on the floor of the senate.
New Second Class Post Rates.
In completing the bill yesterday, the
finance committee adopted an amend
ment establishing new second class
postage rates, effective when the reye-
lue bill becomes law 1t provides
'or repeal of the present graduated
zone rates on newspapers, magazines
md other periodicals and substitutes
rate OF one cent per pound within
IN area of 200 miles from mailing
POINTS and one and one-half cents a
,Ound outside that area.
The committee also adopted another
