NEW SAN FELIPE
BRIDGE COMPLETE

With the construction of the new
bridge across the San Felipe creek
on the Mecca -Brawley highway, the
automobile traveller is assured a cross
ing at point that has sometimes
been treacherous following heavy
rains in the mountains. The new
bridge is of sufficient length and ca
pacity to take care of the travel over
this road. A number of long nails
sticking several inchese out of the
boards warn the traveller to beware
of making too much speed lest he
leave strips of his tires behind. The
bridge was built by Imperial county
and cost upward of 5000.
Another improvement that will be
appreciated along the line of the road
lis the extension of the telephone line.
This has been run to a point about
IA miles from Brawley. 1t is Super
visor w. F. Beal's intention to secure
the assent of the State Highway Com
mission to the construction of this
line at least to the San Felipe bridge.

4 This district attorney scramble, by
the way, has direct bearing on the
fight for superior judge, two years
hence. The candidates that are de-
feated in the district attorney race
will have a poor show as candidates
for superior judge. That, let us
whisper, is the secret of the failure
of at least three other attorneys to
get into the fight.
j. Roy Adams of Imperial may not
have opposition in the race for su-

one reason, the population of that
district has become so depleted since
the going of John Barleycorn that the

HUNS TRYING To
SET Up FLEMISH
STATEN BELGIUM
Clumsy Efforts of the Germans to
Alternate the Belgians of Flemish
Extraction From WallOOns Have Gre
ated Great Confusion and Have
Been Entire Failure.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, May 21.--From a Bel
gian who has escaped into England
after three years of captivity in Ger
man prison camps, the Belgian lega-
ton here has received interesting de-
tails of the clumsy efforts of the
German conquerors to ALLEVIATE the
Belgians of Flemish extraction from
their countrymen of Walloon descent,
as practiced among Belgian prisoners
in Germany.
The project, which has been de-
scribed as stupidity conceived and exc
jcuted, had it's birth, the advices say,
in the dreams of the an-Germanists
who would set up in northern Belgium
"a Flemish state that would assume
the status of a German protectorate.
The first advances were made to-
ward the Belgians of Flemish extrac-
ton confined in the prison camps.
They We're segregated and forwarded
to other prison centers, where they
were treated with some degree of
kindness in an effort to win their
support in establishing the new state.
All measurese calculated to win over
the prisoners failed miserably, said
the legations informant, and the
groups remained indissolubly Belgian.
Parts of the letter describing the
German intrigue follow:
"The plan of the Germans was to
concentrate all the Flemings in the
camp of Gottingen. to give them priv
Iileged treatment under the supervis-
ion of civilian, Professor STANCE, of
the Gottingen University, and to in
duec them to join the activist move
ment aiming at the separation of Bel
gium into two political states, Elan
ders falling under German direct OF
indirect control.
"In the course of July l decided
with few companions to voluntee,
for Gottingen in order to counteract
thte enemy's intrigues. We foune
there Professor-etange and few o.
his activist disciples hard at work
STANCE was practically the commander
of the camp. We were treated with
great consideration by the sentries
the system of blows and threats wa.
suspended and we were much sur
prised to be addressed as "Herrschaf
ten"
"The converted men were only E
livery small minority, including some
students and artists. Happily the
new regime allowed the patriots tc
speak out and to unmask the trai.
tors. Our work was made consider.
Fably easier through the interference
|of two members of the Council OF
Flanders, Borms and Weert. Their
interference stamped STANCES Flem-
ish activity as a purely German ma
Fneuver and one by one the prisoners
ceased to attend the club 'fursorge.'
"At the same time the regime in
camp changed entirely. The Herr
schaften' were again 'Scheinhunde,
and new commander was sent to the
camp. The civilian had failed in his
mission and the military exerted it
former power with vengeance.
"Most of the Flemngs at Coffin
gen (nearly 10000 passed through
the camp were sent to various kom-
mandos. The number of STANCES con-
versions among the Flemish prison.
ers might be almost hundred. Even
the fear of being sent to a salt mine
did not induce more than one man in
a hundred to lend a patient ear to
separatist propaganda"

POLITICAL

Voters are throwing all thoughts OF
personal comfort aside and wishing
for the beginning of the hot wave
so that the rise in temperature will
smoke out the candidates for county
office who have not yet declared
themselves. How about tax collec-
tor, auditor, assessor, county clerk,
coroner, and-most important of all
county supervisors? 1t is incompre7
hensible that no one desires these
plums-except the incumbents. It's
dollars to dimes none of the latter
will refuse. Now that Brother Howe
has announced his intention of leav-
ing the local field. will there be an
other candidate for public administra-
tor?

Washington, April 22.-Statements
made in London by General Maurice

that there has been an entire m!Scon-

Japan Plans Merely
to Keep Germans Out
of Orient For Ever

New York. APRIL 22.-Declaring that
Germany should never again be al
lowed to get d foothold in the orient
and the Pacific, Count X. Yoshii on
Saturday declared Japan under no
circumstances would consent to the
restoration OF kiau- chow after the
war.
japan has no Interior motives; she
desires nothing tor herself and mas no
territorial ambitions" Count Ioshii
said we desire only to serve the
allies as best We can and as they sug-
gest. We stand squarely with the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Italy, against Germany.
AS to Russia, we will take no action
that is not approved by the allies. No
troops will be sent into Siberia unless
the allies ask it or the safety of Japan
makes it imperative.
Our position in regard to Russia is
this: You see your neighbors house
burning. You desire TO help him You
offer assistance He distrusts you and
refuses your aid. You do nothing. His
house continues to burn and yours is
menaced."
Aside from few sailors landed at
Nladivostok for the protection of allied
property, Japan has no troops in 81
bera Yoshii declared and under pres
ent conditions none will be landed.

Japans military power is now con-
siderably in excess of what it was at
the end of the japanese Russian war
according to officials. At that time
the mikado had more than 1000 o0O
men under arms. Should it become
necessary to stem Teutonic invasion
probably twice this number Of fighting
men could be modified.
Transportation difficulties are the
only obstacles which prevent Japan

Il have got some time at least to

of what has happened in the last few
days.
Last Thursday morning the guns on
the front opposite UP started up at
about o'clock and was the worst noise
ever heard. | went out to run the
tractor as usual Friday morning and
the German shells were falling a little
closer. About 1920 Darling came out
and told me to hurry up and bring in
the tractor, as Ham had been evacu-
ated and that we would have to leave
soon. | took it in and packed up my
stuff and we also got all of the other
things together we could. Darling
started off with the tractor about noon
and we left with our wagon and cart
and all Of the horses about 1 so D. M.
German shells were falling about a
half mile away and the Germans them
selves were not more than two miles
away. 1t surely was fierce noise, and
we could see the shells burst and throw
dirt and stones high in the air. You
could also hear them whistle as they
came over. The roads were just packed
with refugees and troops, and it took
us two and one-half hours to go the
first 40 miles.
There are about six fellows still at
st. Just and are taking care of the
horses until we can get some cars to
move our stuff either here or to a new
section for us to work in. We got all
away from the farm except the rabbits
and few tools. Our trucks are still
working up near the front helping to
move the civilians, and it is big job

have intimatcd the number of men

bers Of the French military mission
now in the United States have an
nounced that France still has about
1000, 900 men in the fighting zone. The
correspondents at the British front
last year were permitted to make the
statement at that time that the Brit

In both cases, however. it must be
understood that these figures repre-
sented the entire strength of the two
allied commandment the lighting
men alone. The totals included all
the men working along all the lines OF
communications labor battalions, men
in supply columns and ammunition
trains--men. IN short, who make up
the vast machine it is necessary to
maintain behind the fighting front,
And it is no military secret to disclose
ths& often the men behind the lines
outnumber those in the fighting posi-
lions three and four to one.
While it has been reported that the
Germans have hurled more than
million men against the British. IL
does not mean that these million at
tackers have gone up against 2,00o,-
600 defenders. The figures given
as to the number of German divisions
engaged against the British take into
consideration only the infantry
strength of the portion Of the German
army involved. They do not represent
the artillery and the millions of men
working behind the fighting men.
The latest estimate of the number OF
German divisions hurled against the
British show the enemy has been able
to concentrate in his two drives
number of men almost double the en-
tire infantry strength Of the British
forces in France.
