.BRAWLEY MAYOR
GREATLY 'HUFFEO
---W.S.S.-

Stage drivers entering the metrop-
oils of the North End complain that
they are being prosecuted as well as
prosecuted by city officials up there.
They name Mayor Higgins as the
leader in the petty work against them,
and all because stage did not de-
liver the mayor piece of pipe want
ed for his soda fountain.
Now the stage men have been pro-
hibited from crossing over the walks
of that city, and are forced to back
out and turn around in an alley.
Stage drivers are also prinched on
the least provocation, they say. A
stage driver cannot leave his machine
stand on the streets for more than a
few minutes before he is arrested
but any other citizen can leave his
car stand anywhere for a year, and
go mscathed, according to local stage
heads.

MELONS ARRIVING
SOFT CONDITION
$500 SIS

REQUEST for a return to last years
schedule for the movement of can
taioupes between Brawley and Chi
capo will be made through represen-
tations to the United States Food Adj
ministration at Washington and Chi
cago. AT the meeting of distributors
at the office of the Bureau of Mar
kets, Fred Speich sought the co-opera-
ton of his colleagues in behalf of
more speed, says the Brawley News.
The fact that the report of the Bu-
reau of Markets shows melons arriv-
ing in sofe condition led to the hope
that the fomer running time would
be restored. Last year 146 hours was
the average time of special cantaloupe
trains between Brawley and Chicago.
This season no hours is required.
! Assertions are made that the au-
thorities agreed, if the new schedules
proved too slow to permit melons to
be carried to their destinations with
,ttheir keeping qualities unimpaired
that changes would be made.

(By Associated PreSS)

Washington, June 1.-THE .Norwe-
gian sailing vessel KringsJaa has been
sunk by German submarine ninety
miles off the Virginia coast. The navy
department announced last night that
the crew had ben picked up by an AM
erican warship and was being brought
to an Atlantic port.
The Norwegian bark Samoa, from
Buenos Ayres, was sunk by shell fire
from a German submarine at o'clock
uast Friday morning about ninety
miles off the Virginia coast.
The navy department announced yes
terday that fifteen members of the
crew were picked up by SCHOONER and
transferred to another vessel which is
bringing them to port.
The Samoa, vessel of 1851 tons,
was sent down near the spot where the
British armed steamer Keemund was
unsuccessfully attacked Thursday ev-
ening. The Norwegian vessel was the
nineteenth craft known officially to
have been sunk by the raiders since
they began operations off the Atlantic
coast some three weeks ago.
The tactics adopted by the subma-
inc commanders in avoiding armed
crafts led officials to believe that Ger
many is counting only on hoped for
efefct on American morale, and not
upon any military benefits to be de-
rived from the damage done.

WOMEN FIGURE IN.
TR |AL Of ROSS
SCH0F|ELO TODAY.
--W.S.S.--

A battle of beauty featured the be-
ginning of the trial in the Superior
court today of Ross Schofield,
charged with contributing to the de-
linquency Of Mrs. Jack Williams, aged
Is, before Judge Thomas of San Diego
county.
Mrs. Schofieid. daintily attired in a
blue and white costume and blue pic
ture hat, sat beside her husband and
constituted a formidable argument for
the defense. Mrs Williams, herself
quite pretty, and appearing to be at
least 10 years of age, sat beside Pro-
baton Officer Swanson. The pret-
ty women darted fiery glances at
each other occasionally while the law
yers quibbled over the selection of a
jury.
The alleged offense is said to have
been committed while Schofield and
Mrs. Williams were returning from the
ranch of Mrs. Williams parents west
of Imperial. He denies her story. The
unusually developed girl has been de-
tanned at the county hospital.

ANOTHER STAGE
LINE IS LIKELY
--W.S.S---

When the old stage lines consoli-
dated, it was thought that there would
he no rival lines in the field, but it
appears now that such is not the case,
and announcement is made today that
the White Star lines will again enter
the service and that they will make
strong bid for a share of the business,
says the Chronicle.
The initial announcement is merely
for a line to San Diego direct from
Calexico and without change of cars.
Three cars will leave daily, one at
z a. m, one at II m. and another ut
3 p. m. They will all he the we'll
known Packard twin-six cars, and it
is understood that A. X. Good, the
stage magnate, is behind the new
movement. l.. II. Tayer is in charge
of the local depot, which is the same
as the White Star Stages had here
tofore, but, as soon as he has the
organization complete here, he will
go to El Centre as general manager
of the system.

SAND HILL ROAD
TO Be IMP PROVED

c.. ID. Watson, overseer of Road
District No. 5, yesterday took out a
gas engine and Two big tanks to the
first we'll east on the Yuma road.
This engine and these tanks mark
the first steps to be taken by the
county to improve the conditions of
travel on the so-called "short line"
between Holtville and Yuma. The
tanks will be used to sprinkle the
road and for other purposes into
which water enters in its mainte-
nance. The we'll now has thirty feet
of water-more than any possible de-
mands made upon it can exhaust.
Speaking of that stretch of road,
Supervisor L. F. Shaw said that there
is well defined intention on the
part of the board not to permit the
road between here and Yuma to re-
lapse into q state of disuse because
of neglect of its upkeep. There has
been too much money already spent
upon that stretch of highway and it
constitutes too important link in
the transcontinental highway system
ever to think of suffering any con-
dition to exist with respect to it that
might lead to it's abandonment

With the American Army in France,
Sunday, June 16.-Aiertness Of Amer
j! iean artillery frustrated plans of the
Germans to enter the Rivray-Toul sec
tor and resulted in the capture ot a
number Of prisoners. Examlration of
German prisoners disclosed that 600
Especial troops participated in the rald,
which was planned six weeks ago and
was rehearsed behind the German
lines. American artillerists dlacoV-
cred the Germans creeping through
No Mans Land and opened fire. Aid
ed by the machine gunners, they in
slir-ed heavy casualties. One sma,.
group Of Germans reached the village.
These were either captured or killed
by the Americans.
The majority of the American cas-
ualties resulted from German arti
lery fire. The casualties among the
i'rerch civilians occurred whe'. a
German shell burst near church as
procession of villagers was emer-
gino from mass. Many French wound.
ed were treated in American hospi-
tails.
Sunday afternoon American artil
lery opened a retaliatory fire against
the area behind the German lines,
while the Teutons, apparently angered
over the failure of their raid, bonn
barded villages as far as eight miles
behind the American linees. The whole
Toul sector echoed with the heaviest
.gunfire in many weeks.
The Germans captured a wounded
American, but after reaching the en-
emy wire entanglenients the Ameri-
can drew a revolved and forced his
guard to march back to the Ameri-
can lines. After delivering the Ger
man to his comrades, the American
fell unconscious from loss of blood.

Rome, Sunday, June 16.--A semi
official note issued tonight said the
situation on the Italian front seems
to be reassuring, although a great bat
tie has only begun. Although they
have sixty divisions in the fight, the
Austrians have not succeeded in pass
ing the Italian advanced area at any
point. the enemy is concentrating his
most powerful attacks astride Berenta
and across the Piave. Premier Or
lando told the chamber of deputies the
Italians and their allies were helding
the enemy strongly, tenaciously resist
ing the new offensive and making re-
peated counter attacks.

(By Associated Press)
Wit the Italian Army, Sunday, June
16.-The Austrians who forced
crossing of the Piave have been driv-
en- back. Fighting along the Piave is
most intense.
A semi-official note said that the
enemy advanced in open formation un-
der the cover of artificial fog from
bombs and smoke apparatus, after a
brief and extremely violent artillery
bombardment intended to destroy the
Italian first linese and paralyze the
Italian artillery. The enemy fixed his
first days objectives at more than
fifteen kilometers.
-W.S.S.-
Mt. Grappa Held,
The struggle is nose severe on the
Piave line. One of the most brilliant
Italian actions was the defense of the
Monte Moschin salient, protecting i'm
portant Bfenta positions. The Aus
trians suffered heavy losses here and
many of their machines were cap
tured. The prisoners are ragged, i'll
fed, and many of them understood
youths. One remarked to CORE
spOndent that he had no interest in
tins war The feellng among the ltal-
ians is buoyant. At Italian army
headquarters satisfaction is felt over
the situation.
The general commanding an artil-
lciy corps in the Monte Grappa re-
gion exposed this feeling to the cor
respondent, saying:
Now send us four divisions o.
Americans. We will first shake HANDS
and then travel together into Au-
stria"
The severity of the fighting on
Monte Grappa is indicated by the fact
tha; the Italian artillery fired 10000
shells in twelve hours.
