(By Associated Press)

Washington, April 10.-The Senate
military committee ir q report has
characterized the government aircraft
program as "gravely disappointing"
and has recommended drastic reorgani-
zation of the production machinery.
1t charged that officials were misrep-
resenting the situation and mlslea4-
ing the public by their "procrastina-
tion and indecision."
The aircraft commtte said that fu-
ture prospects are more favorable.
Production during recent weeks prom
ises to get the program under way
to such an extent that sufficient
number of planes can be furnished
later to meet all requirements of the
troops in France. 1t proposes one
man control of production and sug-
gests that the Signal Corps bentire-
ly relieved of the work of building
airplanes. Delay is charged in the
manufacture of Liberty motors and
machine parts, and in the training of
fliers. The committe declared that
the Liberty motor was "just emerging
from the experimental stage, and is
not designed for and cannot be used
in swift, single-seated fighting ma
chimes"
1t said of 22,500 ordered, 122 had
been delivered to the army, 142 to the
navy and four shipped overceas.

HUSH EXTENDS
THANKS Of RED
CROSS TO PRESS
Official of the Red Cross Shows the
Great Good Work Done by the I'm
perial County Chapter and Inciden-
tally Praises The Press for Pub
licity Given the Cause.

Ell Centre, Cal, April 1O-Imperial
Valley Press: Approaching the space
that has been donated by your valu-
able paper in the interests of the I'M
perial County chapter of the Red
Cross, | desire at this time to thank
you for that publicity.
There has come to my attention,
while visiting the several branches of
the Imperial County chapter, an item
which l wish at this time might be
brought before the public.
As we all know, the Red Cross acts
as an emergency for the govern
ment, and in time of war becomes
part Of the federal government. The
accounts of every chapter are audited
by the War Department., and for that
reason all money raised in the juris-
diction of chapter under the name
or insignia of the Red Cross must be
accounted for and is under control of
the chapter. At this time the Pacific
Division Of the American Red Cross
has not received instructions from ma
tional headquarters at Washington to
raise money for any specific purpose.
Money at this time is being raised by
the Red Cross chapters for war re-
lief, which consists of buying material
for hospital garments, etc, and for
the care of dependent families of SOL
diers and sailors. The money raised
by the chapters during Red Cross
war drive, which drive will occur from
May 20 to May 27 of this year, is to
be used by the War Council Of the
American Red Cross at their discre-
ton. This money will be spent in
providing warehouses, canteens, way
stations, ambulances, base hospitals
and convalescent homes for our allies
and in our own cantonments. For this
reason all money raised for the Red
Cross is raised for a common cause
and lies in common treasury.
There has come to my attention an
auction sale that is to be given by
the Meloland Auxiliary of the Impe-
rial County chapter, and it has been
advertised that this money will be
used for an ambulance fund. 1t is i'm
possible at this time for the Red Cross
to use designated funds, and it is also
a fact that no auxiliary, branch or
chapter can raise money for any spe-

anese consul at Vladivostok a protest
against the landing of armed Japa-
nese. Copies have been delivered to
all other foreign consuls. 1t is de-
MED that the Japanese were endan-

an interference in the domestic af-
fairs Of Russia which threatens re-

Russians. 1t said the murder of Jap
Dancse there was of a provocative
character and cannot be charged to
the legal authorities.
Leon Trotzky, former foreign min

DISTRICT DELIVERING
80 PER CENT MORE
WATER THIS WEEK
THAN IN SAME PER-
IOD LAST YEAR.
Chief Engineer Clarke Is
Giving Unusual Attention
to Diversion Point on Ri1-
er to Keep Up With Wa
ter Orders.

Farms in the Imperial Irrigation
District are calling for almost dOu-
BILE the water they did a year ago.
Land owners are seizing the OppOr-
tunity offered by high prices for farm
products to get every available acre
in crop. Cotton, alfalfa, cantaloupes
and vegetables are calling for an un-
precedented amount of water.
The Mexican lands are getting but
10 per cent of the water diverted at
HanIon's, despite the fact that the
cotton planting season is well along
below the line.
Reports brought to the District of
flee today show that 1886 feet were
diverted through HanlOn. Heading,
Monday. OF this amount, 552 feet
were wasted, leaving a net delivery of
1874 feet to farms en- both sides of
the lines. Mexican lands received 3S1
feet. Lack of labor on the other side
is hampering farm operations.
April 8, 1917. there were 214l feet
of water delivered to lands on both
sides of the line, the Mexican ians
takding 32l feet.
Chief Engineer Clarke is giving
much attention to the diversion of wa
ter at HanlOn's, and to the condition
of the weir, which still remains in the
river, and will probably stay there
until arrangements are made for a di-
version from Laguna dam. according
to reports from Washington. Brush
is being placed in the weak places.
Orders for water will probably in
crease gradually until the peak load
is demanded for the corn crop in mid
Last year the peak diver
sion was $500 feet. This year it may
go to $500 feet.
