Commander at Camp Kearner, When
Visited by, Farm Adviser Sullivan,
Says He Can't Buy Imperial Valley
Hay Until Ordered to DO So ny the
Army Buyer in the North.

Red tape has tied up the comman-
der at Camp Kearney so that he can
not purchase hay in Imperial Val
ley, nor at any other place, except
when told by the army buyer in San
Francisco.
This was learned yesterday by Coun-
ty Farm Adviser Sullivan, who held
an interview with the camp comman-
der. He was told of the enormous
quantities of good and cheap hay in
the Imperial Valley, and was told that
most of the hay consumed at the camp
came from the San Joaquin valley,
and that Uncle Sam paid the huge
freight bills.
Sullivan was advised to get into
communication with the San Francis
co buyer for the army camps.
Sullivan also interviewed E. A.
Forbes, secretary of the State Mar
keting Committee, on the subject Of
forming an association of alfalfa
growers here. Good results were OBJ
tanned an da meeting of the hay grow
ers will be called here soon.

BAKER CALLS FOR
THREE MILLION

Washington, May 2.-%secretary Ba
ker, in 8 confidential confenetxe with
the House military committee today,
asked for unlimited power to create
an army of whatever size may be
necessary to prosecute the war.
He told the committee it would
be ill-advised to restrict the number,
and that it should be increased, in the
discretion of the government, as trans
portation and equipment facilities
warrant.
He said he had made no decision
in regard to increasing the draft
age.
Indications are that the army bill
will provide approximately 100000
men in furtherance of the blanket au-
thority plan.

This much was enunciated at the

over the recent city election resulted
in the shooting and death of knight.
AT the preliminary, held beforesJus-

only eye witness, said Knight was the
aggressOr, and had struck ESiols se-
fore EchOis shot. Miss Obnkling., the
nurse, said Knight told her he was as
much to blame as EcNols. Deputy
Sheriff Cummings testified that Ech-
OILS, when he gave Himself up at the
county Jail, was bloSdy and scratched.
The, defendant TOOK the stand and
said he tried to get away from knight
but- the .hiv~ seiis~ -srsusht him ~ahd+
bent him over a window, beating him,
and then he fired the fatal shot, fir
ing the first not to kill, but to stop

RUNS DOWN SUB
(By Associated Press)

Atlantic Port, May "A new Brit
ish freighter celebrated it's maiden
voyage to America by running down
and sinking German submarine off
the Irish coat, the crew reported.

coming or going, and the submarine
was torn apart. y"
