London. Jan. 23.-Lord Robert Ce-
I'll, who today announced at Paris
that he submitted to the Peace Con-
gress a draft of the British view OF
the league of nations, believes the
world has not yet reached stage
at which an absolutely rigid system
for preservation of international
peace can be set up, according to
a Reuter- dispatch. Discussing his
idea of a league, Lord Roberts says
he thinks an international tribunal
with absolutely binding powers not
practicable at present.

Paris. Jan. 23.-It will probably be
several days before any of the Latin
American questions will be considered
hv the Peace Congress, because OF
the more pressing nature OF European
problems.
The Tacna- africa dispute between
Chile. Peru and Bolivia is the only
acute situation in Latin-America, but
even this is not likely to command
attention before the league OF nations
is formed.

The largest single group of local

Of this city, these veterans will not
be given ceremonial welcome.
Instead the welcome will take a
more practical form-an effort to
have good position, with fair pay,
for every member of the command
This, the first and the most import
ant after -the-war problem which the
community has been called on to meet,
will be solved by the replacement
committee of the county,
The news of the return of these
"Sammies," which will bring an un-
usual gladness and anticipation in
scores of Valley homes, was received
by the Council of Defense in the
form of telegram from Lieutenant
T. J. Worthington, commanding the
battery. The wire follows:
"Fifty men of D Battery were dis
charged yesterday, the balance today
and Friday. 1t is impossible for them
to come to the Valley in a body. The
list of Imperial Valley boys, which
you requested, has been mailed.
"The best work that you can do
is to connect them with jobs. All of
them need work Immediately and all
are able to handle any jobs with 100
per cent efficiency"
Originally, when the tidings of the
safe return of the battery from over
seas was received, it was planned to
give them rousing, ceremonial
"Howdy" celebration, but, instead,
these heroes want to return to their
homes quietly and with their deeds
unsung. But they desire the public's
appreciation of their war efforts by
the proffering of the opportunity to
get back into the harness of civilian
life and make good living.
Plainly it is up to the employer
class Of the Valley to respond to this
appeal and to demonstrate their
Americanism by answering this first
appeal from those who won the great
and bloody conflict against militar-
ism, kaiserism and autocracy.
Those having openings for men, no
matter in what capacity, are asked
by the Council of Defense to imme-
diately list these jobs with the Coun-
ty Replacement Committee or with
The Press. The members of the Re-
placement Commission are: Edward
Dool of Calexico, chairman; c. E.
Coggins of Ell Centre and w. T..
Dunn of Brawley.

REMOVAL Of
CITY TRUSTEE
FOR IN
ROSS ACTION
J. Edgar Ross Also Brings
Libel Suit Against Pub
Usher and Editor of Val
ley Paper.

Two suits, the outgrowth of the
tarring of J. Edgar Ross at Brawley
during the last Liberty Loan cam
paign, were filed in the Superior
court today by Mr.. Ross, through his
attorney, Emmett H. Wilson of Los
Angeles.
The first is directed against M. d.
Witter and B. F. Morris, publisher and
editor, respectively, of the Brawley
News, for alleged libel, and asks $780,
900 actual damages and 100000 puni
tive damages on three counts. The
action is based on the allegel libel
contained in news article and two
editorials published in The News i'm
mediately following the tarring Incl
dent.
The second action is an custer pro-
teeding against w. A. Covington,
member of the Brawley Board of
Trustees and commissioner of the fire
and police departments. The remov-
al of the official is based on supposed
refusal and neglect to perform his
official duties.
Ross, who is the respondent, bases
the first three counts of the action
on the assumption that Covington,
while a member of the official board
of the city, acted improperly in ap-
proving city demands payable to the
firm of Best, De Blois & Covington,
of which he is member, as prem
iums on the bond of c. c. Marshall,
the city marshal.
The last count is based on the oc-
currences Immediately surrounding
the attack of the mob on the respon-
dent. The complaint alleges that
Covington was appealed to by vari-
Gus persons to guell the disturbances
or arrest the members of the mob,
but that he refused these requests,
thus failing to perform his sworn du-
ty as commissioner of police.
Ross asks Covington's election from
office and judgment in the sum of
$500 to defray the cost Of the ac-
ton
In the libel case, Ross bases his
complaint on an editorial published
in the Brawley paper on October 3,
the date of the tarring, under the
heading of "Sharp Medicine for Dis
loyal Citizen; an editorial on Oc-
tober 1S headed Omitted Expression
of Community Sentiment" and a
news item published the following
day.
