Erred BY PUMP.
Engineer Is Instructed to In
vestigate Matter and Re-
port How Many Acres
May Be Watered From the
Canal.

Waterless lands called, almost plead
ed, for water from the District to-
day.
Two hundred thousand acres on the
East Side mesa and 100000 on the
West Side mesa are knocking at the
doors of the irrigated region.
The District directors bent a willing
ear to the petitions of the arid lands,
both east and west. The chief engi-
neer was instructed to make survey
to decide how many acres of land
should be taken in on the East Side
mesa, after which the attorney will be
asked to frame resolution including
the lands within the District Bat the
engineer has not been instructed to
investigate the West Side lands. There
is grave question whether the Dis
trict can put water on those lands
Mark Rose asked to have 10000
acres of East Side mesa land irri-
gated by gravity flow and $4,000 acres
by pumping, with power generated
along the line of the canal.
B. III. Lien. secretary OF the Mt. Sir
nal Water Company, asked to have
100000 acres of West Side lands above
the ditch included. About 25 900 acres
of this land is below Superstition
range: the rest is about, running to
beyond Kane Springs.

waste from points of diversion to
points of delivery 1167 feet, or %
per cent of the diversion.

London, April 3O.-Correspon-

the enemy yesterday suffered
nothing less than disastrous de-
feat in the first phase of the bat
tie in his desperate attempt to
capture hills held by the Allies
which endanger his possession of
KENNEL.
The Germans probably used
thirteen mivisions from east of
Ypres southwark in the line of
battle, with two more northward.
The violence of gunfire was never
greater or more unceasing at any
period of the war and the sue
cessful Allied defense made the
day the blOOdiest yet experienced.
Artillery and infantry fire
smashed repeated attacks. The
Germans also suffered heavily
Sunday when their concentrating

PLACE YOUTHS
BOTTOM OF LIST
(By Associated Press)

Washington, April 30.-The provost
marshal general has asked Congress
to eliminate from the bill extending
the draft to youths reaching their
majority the amendment placing at
the bottom of the eligible list those
who register under the measure.
He asked for an amendment to the
bill basing draft quotas on the num-
ber of men in Class I and to make it's
operation retroactive.
Crowder says the House amendment
would delay the calling of the young
man in many states for a considerable
time and that in the meantime their
status will have changed and they will
have married or become integrated
with the industries of the country.
