TO TRAIN
IN DR|T|SH TRENCHES

Washington, Feb. 5.-The War De-
partment is considering the British
suggestion through General Pershing
that Americans train in British
trenches on the Flanders front. Gen.
eral Bliss recommendations after con-
ferences with the supreme war coun-
Gil will probably be final. 1t is pro-
posed to give the Americans the Brit
ish training system from the receiving
camps to the finishing course. Bat
talions graduating will be incorporat-
ed with the Pershing command. 1t
is believed sending Americans to
England for training will release the
British soldiers for the front line and
hasten the expansion of tho American
army without proportionate increase
in the demand on shipping by using
British shipping and supply lines.

Sheriff Applestill's hunt for Mo-

A mail dragnet, sent out all over
the country by the sheriff, located the
Mohammedan at Detroit, Mich. He

city yesterday. Local Mohammedans
who wish to see the man brought to
justice have agreed to pay the ex-

for trial.
Moberik Ali Khan is charged with
embezzling $4,000, the proceeds of a
cotton growing campaign by three
Mohammedans on ranch near Ca
lexico last year. Many actions have
grown out of the absconding of this
Mohammedan, but the end was the
same, resolving itself into the propo-

ON WAR DEPARTMENT
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 5.-Senator Wads-
worth, Republican, in renewal of the
debate upon war efficiency, pictured
American war machinery as "con-
glomeration of ambitions and scat
tered agencies" In a speech favoring
legislation on cor-ordinate activities
he insisted that the painful situa-
tion resulted from lack of planning
and vision"
He said the president could not
coordinate the different agencies. The
prospect Of long war required radi-
cal steps to unity efforts. He de-
clared that military men, with rare
exceptions, are incapable of producing
the best results. He said expert civ
ilians testifying before the Senate mil
itary committee favored proper GEN.

Imperial irrigation district directors

of the Cerro Prieta Canal, from Vol
cano Lake to the West Side Main, in
Lower California, work which will

Ier changes are expected to give the
West Side the water the farmers in
that section have been vainly hoping
for every summer for four years.
Officials of the water companies will
be taken down below the line Thursday
by General Manager Clarke, and will
look over the situation and determine
just where the bulk of the money is to
be expended.
Last year the canal was inadequate
to carry enough water for the West

water shortage. 1t is believed that the
Expenditure will return hundred of

(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 5.-Railroad
brotherhood leaders told the railroad
wage commission that the railroad
managements desire to discredit the
eight-hour law and make government
operation failure.
President Lee of the Railway Train
men said he had evidence of the use
of inexperienced men, who allowed en-
gines to freeze. He believed he could
trace the responsibility to New York
banks which control railroad finan-
cling.
Lee said: "The old management
don't want government operation made
success.
"Do you think the public will let
the railroads return to the old system
if government management is eff
cient? That's why I want to see the
government make success"
The appearance Of representatives
of railway managements at hearings
at which union leaders presented their
request for increased wages, precipi-
tated a discussion. President Lee
said:
"Your pardon at my being suspi-
cious, but l haye been dealing with
those gentlemen for half century"
He said the wage increase was
asked solely because of the increased
cost of living.

Hollands Exports.
(By Associated Press)


Amsterdam. Feb. 5.-The question
whether, and to what extent, Holland
is responsible for the continuation Of
the war by her food supplies to Ger
many, has caused a controversy in
the Dutch newspapers. c. j. X. Van
Aalst, head of the Netherlands Over
sea Trust, in his recent open letter to
President Wilson, pleaded for the re-
moval of the American governments
embargo on food shipments to Hol-
land; one of his arguments being that
the continuation Of Hollands trade
with the Central Powers, while of vi
tai importance to Holland itself, is
of small account, so far as aid and
comfort to the Eentente's enemies is
concerned.
An article in the Amsterdam Tele-
graaf from the Eentente side-of
American origin, it is hinted--replies
to Mr.. Van Aalst's arguments by
showing that, according to official
Dutch statistics for 1916, there were
exported from Holland to Germany of
potatoes, potato flour, butter, eggs,
rice, cheese, margarine, sugar, fish,
meat, fruits, peas and beans 91S,355
tons-sufficient to feed 100000 SOL
