On the steps of the government

German War Manual 10 ahown to be
the text book OF that philosophy
which has expressed itselfin the form
Of ''frightfrlness"in Belgium. Poland,
6eFvis, Armenis and wherever Ger.
man oficers have held sway" The
booklet shows that the brutality,
suthfulness, terrorism and violence Of
the German forces have been cold
bloodedly planned for years by the
German military authorities. 1t shows
that Il was the wholesale violation by
Germany Of the most sacred standards
OF human society that caused our
Government to enter the war.
What the effect OF such teachings
and such practices must be upon the
rest Of the world 10 indicated by. the
authors Of this pamphlet AZ follows
"Made in their Germany ambition
to win, the German rulers have for.
gotten that the German nation must
live and do business with the other
peoples of the world after this war
is over. Though International Law
lacks the administrative means to
judge and punish violations of its bet
ter established rules, it lie, like all laws
and customs, supported by q public
opinion which never falls to manifest
in numerous ways it's detestation and
horror for those who 1agrantly mis-
conduct themselves. For years the
German Government and individual
Germans in their intercourse with
foreign people will be made to feel
the suspicion and distrust in which
they are held. This is bound to be
q tremendous handicap. 1t is the
penalty which mankind will inevitably
exact from those who, while sneering
at chivalry and characterizing the
humanitarian tendencies of modern
times as 'flabby emotion, have carried
on a system of terrorism that knows
no bound"

disastrous fire in the wreckage of
two Southern Pacific freight trains
which met head-on early Saturday
morning, about one mile east OF Ell
Casco station, near San Bernardino,

completely. The wreckage started to
burn and several cars were destroyed
before the Cotton fire department ar
rived, after a dash over the fourteen

to provide water supply were imme-
diately made. The brokn main f0rmd

jured except for few slight bruises.
A body Of INJURY started the Off

GERMAN BARRED

BY STATE BOARD
w. SIS

There will be no more German
taught in the high schools Of Cali
folnia, according to a circular received
this morning by County Superinten-
dent CT Schools Shibley, giving de-
tails of resolution passed against
German by the State Board Of Edu-
cation.
The resolution was passed at the
convention of May 21. 1t sets forth
the opposition of that body to the
study Of the German language in any
high school of the state and notifies
all high school principals to readjust
their courses of study accordingly.
In view Of the fact that all courses
of study must be approved by the
state board, this means that there
will be no more German taught in
ale schools of this state. The resolu-
tion intimates that the apportionment
of stats and county funds will be
cut off from those who do not COM
ply.
Recently the County Board Of Edu-
cation passed resolution which will
make it hard for any teacher with
pro-German tendencies to obtain a

On Result Of Important
Conference With Yuma

--l%

Following receipt OF telephone
message late Saturday afternoon
from Yuma fixing the. date for q
conference between directors Of the
Imperial Irrigation District and :.
committee from the Yuma Watel
Users Association for this morning
at 10 O'Clock, the entire board, ac-
companied by Attorney Phil D. Swing
left here last night for funo.
The purpose Of the conference is
to decide on the location Of the new
rock weir in the Colorado river at
Hanlon's Heading. On the result OF
the conference depends an uninter-
rupted supply Of water for Imperial
Valley farmers this summer.
There are two possible locations
for the new weir, it became known
today. One of these, which would
permit rebuilding in a short time, is
being opposed by Yuma. The location
favored by Yuma, officials Of the
District declare, will require much
more time and cost a great deal more
money. Unless satisfactory arrange
ments are made at the conference to-
day, it is very likely there will be a
water shortage, lasting at best few
days, this summer.
