sheer joy of living, young soldier
was walking in the beautiful bright
spring sunshine yesterday afternoon.
On street corner was an old man
with shaggy hair, few rags cover

the picture Of uselessness. The youth
dropped copper coin into the .old

HEAD OF IRELAND
(By Associated Press)

London, May 6-The appointment
of Field Marshal French, who is of
Irish extraction, as viceroy of Ire
land is unlikely to reconcile the Irish
because they regard it as threat
to make conscription effective.
John Dillon. Nationalist leader, ana
Edward Devalera, head of the Sim
Fein, made anti-conscription ad-
dresses yesterday at Ballaghadereen
DiIlson said the Irish would defeat
conscription if they kept united and
determined another two weeks. De-
valera said his forces are a unit with
those of Dillon to defeat conscrip-
ton.

Germans Work Desperately.

With the Brisish Army in France
Sunday.-Luck seems to be against
the Germans along the crucial north
ern battle front. Sunday found the
Prussian commanders working des-
perately to whip their organization
into Shape for renewal of the de-
layed offensive, while the Allies were
favored by the weather. They con-
tinued counter operations, which are
most disconcerting to an enemy play
ing against time.
The spirit of the Allied troops re-
mains at the highest pitch. They
know that every days delay is vic
tory for them in itself.
Each "a hours makes the Ameri-
cans loom larger on the horizon and
brings much-needed overseas troops
near the battle line. The Tommies
and Poilus are fighting gallantly, will
lingly, because they know their sac
rifice will not be in vain, since the
United States will insure victory a
little later.
Hun Assault Blocked.
1t is quite apparent the Germans
intended another assault in Flanders
yesterday, but combination of events
upset their arrangements. The AL
lied artillery maintained incessant
bombardment of enemy territory and
Friday night before the projected
attack the French and British gun
ners played havoc with the German
preparations. Allied troops also up
set enemy schemes by local opera
tions which improved the Entente
lines.

Ambassador Francis investigate the

of the American government toward

Francis has sent communication to

HOT FINISH OF DRIVE IN THIS

OVER MINIMUM QUOTA.
Ell CentrO Rolls Up a Total of $780,
With More Than 1000 Subscribers,

the Observation-Disclosures King Is
sues a Statement.

Imperial county's subscription to
the Third Liberty Loan up to noon to-
day totaled S1,1OO,OOO, with 1886 SUBJ
scribers.
Ell Centre leads the county, having
subscribed $4,000, with POLL sub
scribers.
The county has been placed among
the banner loan communities of the
West. It4 magnificent response to
the call of humanity for dollars has
attracted wide attention throughout
the state.
Campaign Manager Moulton of the
Southern California loan committee
today sent the following telegram to
County Chairman M. o. King:
"McKee joins in congratulations to
yourself and all of your campaign
workers on the splendid results of
your campaign in your county as a
whole, in which each city has also
won distinction, in subscribing we'll
over its quota. Every county in the
Southern district has made wonder
full showing. The results in our en-
tire district ~ such that we are just
ly proud"
Chairman King made the follow
ing statement:
"With the closing of the successful
campaign for the Third Liberty Loan
in Imperial county, I desire to par
ticularly express my appreciation to
the various committees in charge of
the work in the several communities
of the county for the loyal support
which they have given in putting I'm
perial county "over the top" with the
oversubscription which has been
made in this district. Coming, as it
did, at this season of the year, in an
agricultural district such as ours, it
is particularly gratifying to note the
support which has been given by the
people as a whole. Our over subscrip-
ton of about 55 per cent of the quota
set for Imperial county, and double
the subscribers secured in the pre-
vious campaigns, are in themselves
Indicative of the fact that the people
are fast awakening to the RESPONSE
bilities which they. owe their govern
ment, and at the same time express
sing that realization by their ac-
tions.
"In the Ell Centre district, I wish
to particularly mention J. E. Davis,
chairman, and Mrs. Harry Owen. in
charge of the office work, for their
untiring efforts in making the loan a
success in this district.
