AMERICA GETS
HALF GERMAN
SHIP TONNAGE

New York, Feb. 13-German ships
Of approximately 100000 tons, flying
the American flag and furnishing the
United States an additional troop
carrying capacity of more than co.
900 men a month, will be ready to
put to sea in0the next five weeks,
according to Edward N.Hurley, chair
man of the United States Shipping
Board, who returned today on the
transport Leviathan.
In a statement today Mr.. Hurley
said an arrangement had been
reached at Treves, January II, re-
garding the turnover of the German
fleet by commission of representa-
tives of Allied countries and those
of Germany.
"From information now at hand"
Mr. Hurley said, ''it appears the to-
tai available German passenger ton
mage suitable for carrying troops is
over 100000 tons gross. This does
not include the Bismarck 10000
tons gross, not yet completed, nor
the 1mperator, sister ship of the Le-
via.A4::, which cannot be delivered
for several months, nor other large
vessels such as the Tirpitz, linden
BURG and Columbus.
"The United States share of this
tonnage should run approximately tt
100000 gross tons of shipping suit.
able for repatriation of American
troops. This should give the Unit
ed States an additional troop-carry
ing capacity of over 10000 men pei

FIVE MACHINES
STOLEN At DANCE
BY JOY-R|DERS

Joy riders, rather than out-and-
! out thieves, are thought to have been
responsible for the wholesale theft
OF automobiles which were parked
near the Masonic Temple last night
while their owners were inside the
lodge quarters enjoying the annual
ball of the Ell Centre Fire Depart
ment.
Five cars, aggregating in value
nearly $4,000, We're taken between
the hours of 10 and 8 o'clock Only
three, however, were reported at the
sheriff's office. The thefts included
a brand new Hudson super-six car
purchased just a few days ago by
Colonel Will Stanton.
A Dodge car belong to Alvah Nell
son was taken, but was recovered
early this morning. The car had
been taken for trip and was aban-
doned at a point just within the city
limits. tt was returned to the own
er without damage.
The sheriff's office believes that
romance, stimulated by some fiery
liquor and the presence of some
pretty girls, also romantically in
clined, caused several young fellows
to temporarily take the cars for
short joy-riding trips.

COMMUNICATED.

FL Centre, Feb. II, 1919.-Editor
Of The Imperial Valley Press-Dear
sir: note the article in Mondays
Press regarding the proposition to
1uild a county court house as a me-
mortal to the returning soldiers. Also
. highway from CaleXico to INLAND.
IS to the building of a court house,
it is fine idea, but the most that
our bows could and would be helped
by it would be through the labor they
would obtain through the erection,
which wouldn't amount to great
leal. Now the highway would be
much better, as it would require much
more labor. But if we are going to
show our appreciation, why not do
it Iight, or quit, and not try to bene-
tit ourselves by necessary build
ing which we have to have, where
hey will be fined and senutenced to
all for not paying taxes on their
logs, ETC.; or build little stretch
If highway which would be temp
tation to open "Little Lizzie" up,
only to be caught and taken to their
memorial court house" and fined for
speeding. My suggestion is this:
Build monument in memory of
those who fought and died for us,
as they neither need court house
or highway. Let God be their judge.
Build library and club house COM
tined for those who are alive to
return to us and try to make the
lives of those who were made cripples
IS pleasant and happy as possible.
For those left who will not be able
to make a living for their families,
let neat little cottages be built on
our many vacant lots and small
aereages, as it isn't hard to make
4 living growing gardens and rails
'ng chickens in Imperial Valley and
20 soon have a bank account also.
Last, but not least, build an ALL
American canal and by the compile
tion of this those who have had the
ambition and ability to stay with it
will be able to go into business
themselves. A memorial is a fine
thing, but nice little home and
family and few spare dollars in
the bank is much more satisfactory
20 "our boys" Respectfully,
A SUBSCRIBER.
