War Department Citation
for Bravery Awarded to
Lieutenant BOyce Aten,
Deceased.

Another name has been indelibly
engraved on the Imperial Valley roll
of heroes, who performed eXtraordi-
nary feats of heroism for their icoun-
try's cause during the great war.
The latest is the citation given by
General Pershing and Secretary of
War Baker, through Colonel H. s.
Hawkins, chief Of the general staff
to Second Lieutenant Boyce Aten of
this city.
Lieutenant Aten was wounded du-
ring the Battle of Argonne Forest
succumbing to his wounds on Octo-
Der 2.
The official citation for bravery
follows:
"Second Lieutenant Boyce Aten
Company d, 10th Machine Gun bat

September 26, 1918, showed great
coolness, nerve and bravery. By his
quick perception he Immediately
brought fire upon difficult enemy tar

September 20, and died soon after
being evacuated. H. S. HAWKINS,

slaughts of the Germans. Special
search parties were sent out, but he
was not found.

Mrs. Franklin J. Cole Sue
cumbs Following a Deli.
cate Operation to Remove
Abcess.

Following an illness of seven
weeks duration, during which time
her life was despaired of several
times, Mrs. Eva Cole, wife of Judge
Franklin j. Cole of the Imperial
county Superior court, passed away
in Los Angeles early yesterday aft
ernoOn.
While her wide circle of friends and
acquaintances were not unprepared
for the sad news, the shock was none
the less severe, because they had
hoped that her wonderful vitality,
combined with determination to live,
would defeat the threatening visit
of the Grim Reaper.
Death followed delicate operation
in the coast city to remove an alb
cess from the cara growth which,
through its pressure against and en-
croachments on the brain, threatened
her mind as well as her health. Mrs.
Cole underwent a series of four or
five operations from the time the
abcess made its initial appearance.
She became ill early in February,
falling a victim to the influenza.
Complications then set in, the after
math being the rapid spread of the
growth in her ear. After several op-
-erations were performed here, she
was taken to Los Angeles, to be
placed under the care of special
ist
Frequently during her illness she
rallied and seemed we'll started back
on the road to gradual recovery, only
to experience another relapse which
would take her again to the entrance
of the Valley of Shadows. The best
medical skill and attention that the
Southwest afforded was brought into
play in an effort to save her life.
Mrs. Cole, who was the jurist's
second wife, came to the Imperial
Valley about three years ago from
Chicago. Through her first marriage
she was a member of the millionaire
matted milk family of Horlick. Short
ly after settling here she entered the
employ of the then district attorney,
Galen Nichols. In the district at
torney's office she met Judge Cole,
and from acquaintance to love and
marriage were bat short and progress
sive steps. They were married in
September of 1916.
A pianist of ability and woman of
energy and force, Mrs. Cole became
prominent in musical and club cir
cles. For time she was organist
at st. Pauls' Episcopal church.
The body arrived here from the
Coast this morning and was taken
to the funeral parlors of Shafer e.
Lemons. Funeral arrangements will
not be completed until word has been
received from relatives in the East.

governing body could not exercise
police authority beyond that of the

CONFERENCE PLANS
MONROE DOCTRINE
FOR ENTIRE WORLD
(By Associated Press)

Paris, March 22.-An amendment
by the Swiss delegation proposed to
the conference of neutrals, for the
League of Nations covenant, has
been made public. 1t reads:
''The covenant is not to be inter-
preted as containing anything con-
trary to the sovereignty Of states
except in so far as the state itself
by adhering to the covenant, shall
content, and the covenant shall not
interfere with the internal affairs
of any of its members"
The amendment does not mention
TIE Monroe doctrine, but it's is un-
derstood that it applies to it. Some
members of the United tSates dele
cation are inclined to accept an
amendment along such lines, feeling
it would meet the demand in the
United States for some declaration
on the Monroe doctrine.
