CARDINAL GIBBONS ON
AMERICAN JUSTIFICATION

AS an evidence of Righteousness
of Americas cause in the war,
would point to the patience of our
president and congress amidst the
long series of grave injuries and
broken pledges endured by the U.
S. during the time that Germany
was protesting its friendship to us.
We were shocked to see our property
unjustly destroyed in vast quantity.
but what was UNNECESSARILY more
serious. to read of our men, women
and children killed in violation of
the universally accepted customs of
the seas. When at length not only
American citizens but neutrals ev-
erywhere suffered appallingly under
the cruelties of a nation which hes
itated not to disregard international
law, we learned that patience was
being construed as cowardice and
that it was folly to hope that wiser
counsels would prevail among our
enemies to bring about change in
their lawless policies. Then we took
the only course open to us, the de-
Tense of our sovereign rights as a
nation and the unfolding of the
ideals of truth and justice in the
hearts of all peoples. We have en-
tered into the struggle with clean
conscience, seeking no territorial or
financial gain, but the peace of the
world, the liberty of its people, and
the security of all nations.

FOOD V|OLATORS
FACE INDICTMENT
(By Associated Press)

Honolulu, T. H., April 8 (By maiD
Persons who fail to observe the
wheatless and meatless days and the
other food conservation regulations of
National Food Administrator Herbert
C. Hoover, face indictment by the
federal grand jury here, according to
instructors given the inquisitors yes
terday by United States District
Judge Horace Vaughn.
Emphasis was laid by Judge Vaughn
in his instructions to the grand jury
on the necessity of prosecuting all
those guilty of violating the so-called
"war laws" and more particularly the
laws to conserve the nations food
supply during the war.
By a free Interpretation of this
statute by Judge Vaughn, any indi-
vidual, alien enemy, citizen or other
resident may be prosecuted for fail
ing to observe the wheatless and
meatless days, although the statute
does not say that failure to do is a
violation of the law.
Such construction of the law, the
Judge said, would be gained by COM
parison of the reasonable needs of
the average loyal citizens with the
amount bought by the disloyal ones
who disobey the food regulations, and
so it could be proven that the need
less use of flour or meat on wheat
less or meatless days constituted an
offense against the law.
The intentional keeping from the
market of any foodstuffs is a viola
ton of the food conservation act that
was emphasized by Judge Vaughn.
He instanced the alleged action of the
owners of fish ponds on this island
who refused to bring their fish to
market until the price was raised by
Food Administrator ]. F. Child.

GERMAN RURAL
CREDIT SYSTEM
CAMOUFLAGED
(By Associated Press)

Rome, April u (By mail)-That
the German imperial government pre-
vented American farmers from learn
ing about and profiting from the Ger
man plan of agricultural cooperation
has Just been revealed here in con-
nection with the charge that the Ger
mans sought, even after the war had
been in progress three years, to OBJ
tain control of the International In
stitute of Agriculture at Rome.
The effort to hide the workings of
the Landschaft system, which, David
Lubin, United States delegate to the
Institute, has declared to be the foun-
dation of German success both in war
and peace, is described in the reports
of the American commission which in
1913 visited al 1.-The countries of Eu-
rope for the purpose of obtaining
farming information looking to the
tS SldDllSHIuSllO VI Tic I'll al CISQit SyS-
tenn and other aids to the farmer.
The entire representation of the Wis
itors. from all the countries of the
world, consisted of 12O members,
about half Ct whom came from the
United States and Canada. The COM
mission was we'll received in Italy,
Austria and other countries, and ap-
parently we'll received in Germany,
but recent events have explained the
backwardness of the Germans in
making clear explanations of ques-
tions asked.
The commission was met by DR..
Nikola Kaumanns, representing the
German government. He had previ-
ously been the German imperial COM
missioner of agriculture to the Unit
ed States. 1t is now claimed he had
specific orders to prevent the Ameri-
cans in particular, from getting the
farm information they were so eager
ly seeking.
The effort of DR.. Kaumanns to
prevent the Americans from obtain
ing information was the time consid-
cred merely a hostile attitude of
personal nature. But, considered in
the light of more recent actions, it is
now regarded her as part of the op-
GRAFTON of the German system
Imperial Valley press., 1918-05-06

San Francisco, May 2.--California,
considered a paradise for anglers is
offering thus far this season good
fishing in spots only. Over a large
section of the state there has been a
heavy shortage of rain which has re-
suited in the streams remaining ex-
ceedingly low. In many places the
rainfall has been approximately one
half of normal.
Where the rainfall has been normal
the streams continue too roily for the
best results and it will be some weeks
vet before ideal conditions obtain in
the inland streams.
Reports from Catalina island, fam
ed for it's ocean fishing, are favorable.
Mackerel fishing is now good and a
few barracuda and yellowtail are be-
ginning to be braught in by the ng-
lers. Good barracuda fishing now is
due.

CANTALOUPE CROP BEST IN YEARS;
RAILROAD PROMISES MORE REFERS.

A two days drive through the sew
eral cantaloupe districts develops
the fact that the acreage has been
greatly incleased recently. There is
no getting away from the fact. Let
tuce and peas have been followed up
by cantaloupes Plants are not yet
up, which means there will be
heavy late crop, making two peaks in
the movement. Those who have fl
nanced this late crop have problems
of their cwn later On to worry over
1t is an established fact that the Ja-
panese grower usually draws down
enough in the way of cash advance
to protect himself. What he does
with the money is not always strictly
along the thrift program. For in
stance one grower upon receiving his
check proceeded to buy fine Buick.
When his peas came in he used the
Buick touring car for truck, filling
it up with 40 to so bags Of peas on
a trip.
The early crops look fine. One of
the best posted operators in the deal,
after looking over many plots, pro-
nounced the stand as 95 per cent per-
feet. Many vines are y to IS inches
in length and one finds melons meas
uring from the size of a 15c orange
down to green pea. The crown set
ting in mosa plots is light, but the
second setting is heavy. 1t is the
second setting upon which the big op
orators depend for their fancy mel
ons for early shipment.
The several winds during the past
fortnight have done moreor less dam
age. In some places it turned the
vines over and ruined some of the
young plants. This means a further
reduction of the supply from the
crown setting.
AS pointed out in several sketches
of the cantaloupe deal during the
PAST year, the cost of producing the
1918 crop will be away above the 81
standard crate. Those operators who
smiled when the 81 crate cost esti-
mate was made last season are look
ing serious. One of them admitted
that he would be lucky if his deal
came within S110 Not one offered
any figures to how producing
cost under 81.
There is going to be lot of trou-
bic before the deal is over. This has
been pointed out several times. Crate
