that Mexicali's frowzy vices are
largely supported by visitors from
the American side.
The valley extends many miles into
Mexico, with conditions of soil and ir-
rigability substantially like those on
the American side. Some day that
side may be as populous and prosper
ous The important fact now is that
tire water for the valley comes round
through Mexico. Col. Cantu, the gov
ernor of Lower California, enjoys the
respect and confidence of his American
ncighbors In the last two or three
troublesome years various persons
have come over to Lower California
with credentials from various alleged
Mexican governments, for the purpose
of supplanting Colonel Cantu
The colonel, | am told, examined
their credentials with the greatest
courtesy; then informed them that the
job of governing Lower California re-
quired experience, so he did not feel
justified in handing it over to new
man. The governors official residence
is in Mexicali.

PETE, HERO DOG OF WAR,
DYING FROM N. Y. BULLET

NEW YORK, July 13.-After having
survived shell shock, a deep cash
made by a piece OF exploding shrap-
mel, and many months of lighting in
France as mascot OF the 165th in
fantry., Pete-the only Scotch collie
in Brooklyn entitled to wear a wound
stripe on his collar-was said by his
attending veterinarian yesterday to
be in a critical condition as a result
Of two ordinary bullet wounds said
to have been caused by shots from
a revolver fired by Tony Summa.
Pete was brought back from France
by the wireless operator on the trans
port AllOway, who turned him over
to Charles Hampson. Of Brooklyn for
safe keeping. Summa told Magistrate
Geismar in the Fifth avenue court
yesterday that he fired at Pete after
the dog had attacked him. Summa
was paroled for a further hearing

ALL PARIS WAITS
FOR BASTILLE DAY

PARIS, July 13.-with its Joy over
victory undiminished by the unfortu-
nate incidents that have accompa-
MED plans for its celebration, Paris
is overlooking with thousands who
await the triumphal celebration to-
morrow, Bastille Day.
Friends of Marshal Johre, who
have charged the government snub-
bed the hero Of the Msrne, appear to
be partly appeased. Under the pres
sure Of public opinion it was official
ly announced that he and Marshal
Foch together would lead the vic
tory parade, marching the entire dis
lance. Earlier plans made IL seem
doubtful whether Joffre would be
asked to march over the entire route.
The crowds which have filled Paris
to witness the celebration give the
impression that the city's population
has doubled. Hotel prices have
doubled, too, but the rooms are all
sold. Many Of the hotels and the
cafes and restaurants are closed be-
cause Of the strike, leaving the
streets jammed with hungry thou
sands.
American troops have been accord
ed the honor Of marching at the head
Of the body Of the parade.
