Activities along the various fronts
have been of minor character, said
General March. The most striking
advance has been in Albania, where,
aided by British and Italian monitors,
operating from the sea, general ad-
vance over a crescent-shaped sector
80 miles in length has been made,
the advance being % miles at its
deepest point. General March indi-

Reclamation Service Chief

How Impossible Are the

of the Interior Lane.
--N,S.S,-

A conference was held at Honlon's
Heading this morning between Chief
Engineer c. X. Clarke, Attorney Phil
Swing, Director j. S. Nickerson, and
Manager W. Schlect of the Yuma
Reclamation project, as a result OF
which it is expected a permit for re-
construction of the Colorado river
weir on its old site will be granted
At the meeting this morning the
Reclamation Service man was shown
clearly by Chief Engineer Clarke how
impossible it will be for the District
to change the location of the Weir
and at the same time save Imperial
Valley crops. Aside from loss of time
in putting down a new foundation, it
would be necessary to build new rail-
road track, bridging the Alamo chan
mel and performing other time-tahiug
feats. 1t is estimated that it would
require three weeks TO get ready to
put in the weir in the location as
suggested by the secretary of the iu-
terror, 1000 feet above the old loca-
ton.
Manager Schlect is expected to
wire his report tonight to Secretary
Lane. BY Monday, District officials
hope, the permit viii come back by
wire
