DEBATES ON
MEAD'S PLEA
AT BERKELEY
Board of Directors by Vote
of 3 to 2 With Several Not
Voting Expresses OppOsi-
ton.

DR.. ElwoOd Mead's proposed
conference at Berkeley, October
1st. was dicussed today when
the board of directors of the Farm
Buearu after debate featured
by verbal brOadsides from all
concerned, declined by a vote of
3 to 2, with several directors not
voting, to send delegate to the
conference at Berkeley.
This action, however, was not
final.
Opposition against the proposed plan
developed early led by Mike Liebert
and w. R. Lineau and also sponsored
by others. Farm Advisor w. O. John
son spoke forcibly for the plan and
urged its adoption. c. F. Boarts and
President B. D. Irvine also favored the
plan.
Those opposing the measure argued
that the vote would be stacked against
the Imperial valley, that the valley was
closer in touch with it's own needs
than Berkeley was, that the proposed
conference will delay action on the bill :,
that the plan deals with the settlement
OF lands when the bill deals with the
financing and that the thing to do now
is to get construction started.
The others argued that the Farm
Bureau should comply with the request
Of DR.. Mead, that it should work in
cooperation with the university that
the university was fully aware of To-
cal conditions, that the proposed con-
ference is not stacked against the
valley, that any delay in the bill is
already upon. us and thata united
front from the state will go .lonc.
ways in Washington.
On motion to send one or more dele
gates to the conference, C. F. Boarts
and B. D. Irvine voted Eyes" and W.
r. Lineau, d. F. HARRISON and w. R.
Sears voted "No"
The vote however, didn't end the de-
bate which continued Internationally.
The debate continued and the di-
rectors finally modified their first ac-
ton to the extent that committee
consisting of Mike Liebert, C. F.
Boarts and R. w. Sears was appoint
ed to confer with the supervisors, the
irrigation board and American Legion
and report at another meeting called
for next Wednesday.
The American Legion is backing the
proposed conference to the utmost and
delegates will be selected soon.
There is doubt as to what action
the district will take, some saying q
delegate will be appointed while 9th
ers state that the board believes its
action in endorsing the priority
amendment for service men makes
such action unnecessary.

MEXICAN PYRAMIDS
 PUZZLE PSYCHOLOGISTS

MEXICO CITY, July (by maiD.- Archaeological investigations by a gov ernmental commission to solve the mystery of who built the great pyra- mids at San Juan Teotihuacan, twenty-seven miles from Mexico City, have brought to light two great gran ite heads of the ancient Mexican god of the air, Quetzalcoatl These heads are almost perfect specimens, bear ing all the symbolic markings.
 The long-disputed point as to who erected the pyramids is, as yet un- solved. These huge mounds, one to the sun and the other to the moon, the former being 761 by 721 feet at the base and 216 feet high, are gen. orally attributed to a tribe that pre- ceded the Toltecs, probably dating from the sixth century.

 ''I have been asked over and over again to express my opinion of the American troops" General Monash continued. T am not going to be so foolish as to attempt to do so here and now; Pm only going to say in your own expressive vernacular that at all times and in every place where have used them, the American troops delivered the goods
 'YOu may well believe that this close association in war of such large bodies of Australians and Amer jeans has erected a very real and lasting friendship between our two democracies. The foundations of that friendship had already been laid many years before by the visit of the American battle fleet to Australia.
 " I can assure you that Australia attaches much importance to secur- ing and maintaining the friendship of America. We look upon the United States as our big brother in the Pa cifc, and if any one of you has re- fected on the problems of the Pacific, which are going to arise in the fu- ture, he will know what I mean by that observation

 General Monash said he first reached this conclusion in the early dawn of the Fourth of July, 1918, when for the first time Australian troops, fighting side by side with the Americans in the Somne sector, won the battle of Hamel and gave to the had achieved since the Germans be- gan their memorable advance on March 21.
 "This battle was the turning point of the war;" said General Monash Tt was a brilliant and unqualified success, and it's effect upon the morale, both of the enemy and of our own men, was electric and startling. It became the model of all subse- quent achievements in France, and it paved the way for the great counter offensive in August"
 The American troops engaged, the general said, were 1000 men from the Thirty-third division, commanded by General John Bell The Thirty third division was then undergoing training. General Monash said he had asked and obtained permission to employ 1000 of the Americans in the battle of Hamel, but on the eve of the battle the permission was. with drawn.
 "I passed a strenuous and exciting period of two hours," continued Gen. eral Monash. "So far as I could learn the order originated in some misunderstanding at American gen. eral headquarters as to the state of preparedness for battle of this divi- sion.
 "I could not afford to have my bat tie plans ruined at the last moment by the withdrawal of a large fraction of my assaulting infantry, so I went to my army commander and delivered an ultimatum. If the Americans were not allowed to remain in the order of battle, then the battle in the morning would be off. Unless a de- cision was given by o'clock that night the battle would go on with the Americans in it as planned. We man. aged to intercept the commander-in- chief and he gave the order, Carry on.'
 "Those 1000 Americans covered themselves with glory, and I can pay them no greater compliment than by saying that from that day Australian veterans took them to heir hearts as full-blood brothers."
 General Monash declared that the 131st American regiment of the Thirty-third division, in company With the Thirteenth Australian bri- SduS, 1OuSuL d ulOoI Sdl1dIIC anu SuC- cessful series of actions which re- suited in the capture of Chipilly Spur" when the great counter-offen- sive was launched by Australians and Canadians in the Somne sector on August 8, 1918.

 General MOnash had under his com mand in the closing days of the war the whole Second American army corps, more than 6O,0OO men of the Twenty-seventh and Thirtieth Ameri- can divisions.
