GEN. MARTIN INFORMS
SENATORS OF UNFAIRNESS

A proposed amendment to the Army
appropriation bill designed to pre-
serve the National Guard was advo-
Gated yesterday before the Senate
military affairs committee by Brig
Gen. Charles l. Martin. adjutant gen
eral of Kansas. one of the brigade
commanders of the 25th Division in
France, relieved almost on the eve of
the battle of the Argonne.
Gen. Martin said that of the troops
which engaged in offensivcs in France
during the war or held lines in the
trenches there were eleven National
Guard divisions twelve National Army
divisions and seven Regular Army di-
visions.
Not only myself but many other
officers were unjustly dealt with He
who made the report on which he was
relieved saw him only five times and
that the senior colonel who succeeded
to command of his brigade was a
Regular Army officer.
In defending the efficiency of the
National Guard, Gen. Martin said those
organizations were prepared to move
more eXpeditiously from place TO place
than were the other organizations.
He read letter from an officer of his
brigade, stating that the work of the
brigade in the Argonne was not as
efficient as it would have been under
Gen. Martins command. The letter
also said the relatives of the soldiers
should know of the number of lives
that were sacrificed to inetticiency" in

Widespread interest is evinced in the unique plan of the government to sell at public auction 500 farms in Yuma Valley, Arizona, on December 10. The land has been subdivided into five, ten and twenty-acre units and not more than 40 acres will be sold to an individual.
 The successful bidder at this sale will ind a home in a climate having the smallest rainfall the lowest rela- tive humidity and greatest percen- tage of sunshine occurring in any of the citrus districts of the country This combination is particularly ia vorable to the products peculiar to the mesa lands.
 The sale will be in charge of the U. s. Reclamation Service, Washing ton, D. C., and pamphlet fully de- scribing these lands and the terms and conditions of sale will be fur nished homeseekers upon request to the statistician of this bureau.
 In addition to several unsurpassed varieties of oranges, grapefruit and lemons these lands are especially adapted to the culture of numerous other fruits, such as dates, olives, grapes and figs. The Deglet Moor and kindred varieties of dates can be grown to great advantage here olives and superior quality of grapes of Flu ropean and other varieties and eX- cellent raisins, figs of a sweet, deli cate flavor. which can be produced only in a dry. warm climate, are safe and profitable on these mesa lands, as are also truck crops, among which special mention must be given to can taloupes, tomatoes, and sweet po- tagoes.
