Temporary Officers Elected
at Enthusiastic Meeting
Held Last Night by Over
seas Veterans.
ARMISTICE DAY.
BIG CELEBRATION
November 18th Will be Fit
tingly Celebrated by Le-
giOn According to Present
Plans.

Powerful impetus to the building OF
a strong post of the American Legion
in Ell Centre was gained at the second
meeting of the organization held IN
the Elks hall last night. Matters af-
fecting the interests of returned sol
dieres and plans for the building up
of the organization engrossed the at
tention of the Legion members until
midnight.
At the meeting last night the con-
stituticn and bylaws which will gov
ern the body were taken up in detail.
These provide for an executive COM
mittee of nine, including the officers.
1t was decided not to hold the cleo
tions for permanent officers until fall
when a big general meeting will be
held. At that time, it was pointed out,
all service men still in uniform and
those now out of the valley will have
returned. That the post may function
until then and to carry it's work for
ward Temporary officers were elected
as follows: Arthur M. Nelson, chair
man; Paul Ragan, vice-chairman; Joe
P. Hertel, secretary; John D. X. Per-
ry, treasurer and John NJ. Kepley, G.
W. Barry, Wiley Weaver Jr., C. C.
Brewer and George Banta, members Of
executive committee.
Following a long discussion of the
Kettner bill the post voted unani-
mously as favoring that it be amended
to provide for prefential rights for
soldiers. The petition being circulated
by Jacob Lorang was endorsed and
vote of thanks to Mr.. Lorang for his
interest in soldiers welfare carried
with cheers. In the discussion Of the
Kettner bill it was made plain that
the Legion is in favor of the primary
purpose of the bill, which is to pro-
vide funds for the building of an ALL
American canal that the ranchers of
the valley may have better and
more stable water supply. The inter-
est of the Legion, it was apparent,
was in the secondary features as to
how the lands on the mesa should be
disposed and the the post favored that
service meif generally thruout the
United States, be given prefential
right. The post will undertake to Sc
cure support for it's position and it was
said last night that a committee ap-
pointed for the purpose would draw
up a statement.
November 18th will be a big day in
FL Centro if plans broached at the
meeting last night are carried out. 1t
is proposed to observe Armistice day
with patriotic celebration and a
committee was authorized to prepare
the details.

AVOIDS
,JAP oil ISSUES
(By Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, August 1.--Dealing
doubly, with reports that japanese are
endeavoring to obtain possession by
purchase of Mexican oil fields and
with the alleged intention Of the
Mexican government to impose con-
ditions upon American, British and
Dutch owners which they say amount
to confiscation, President Carranza
told the Associated Press correspon-
dent, today, that Mexico would receive
natives of all countries who can show
that they possess wholesome ideas of
citizenship and who would not prove
a disturbing clement in Mexican af-
fairs. In regard to the petroleum ques-
ton he said:
"Mexico is not opposed to petro-
leum companies or to amy other for
eign investors 1t merely requires that
they abide by our laws" He said
new Gil law was now in the hands of
CONGRESS- ana tiiaC ne touiu hoI alIel
the provisions of the present one. He
charged that the petroleum compan-
les have set out to enkender i'll feel
ing between the Unit3d States and
Mexico; that they are :! doing this thru
the medium of the press which is dis
torting the facts to suit its own ends"
He said that special commission ap-
pointed by the Mexican senate to in
vestigate conditions in the Tampico
region had complied its work but that
the report was private.

POOR MANAGEMENT
D NS|bLE FOR
WATER CONDITION

Lack of management and false eco
Monies are responsible for the present
condition of the city water, according
to several business men who made
first hand investigation Of the water
works yesterday, and not any ineffi-
cheney of the filtering plant.
That the filtering plant is adequate
ly able to cope with the muddy water,
is the opinion expressed, if proper pre-
cautions had been taken by those in
charge
City Clerk Van Way took hold of the
management of the pumping plant the
middle Of July and found that condi
tions were exceptionally bad. Basin
number one had not been cleaned out
for several weeks and there was ten
feet of silt in the bottom of this
twelve-foot reservoir.
A carload of alum which should
have been ordered weeks ago if not
months ago has but recently been or
dered. During the high water mark
of the Gila river the city should use
twenty-five pounds of alum a day in
the basins and in the bitches leading
to the basins, but there is on hand at
the plant only one days supply.
If the men who are responsible to
the city for the water had been as
careful in securing the necessary work
done as they were of saving the city
a few dollars the present water condi-
tion would not have been experienced.
1t is stated that men should have
been put to work cleaning out the
basins and preparing the plant for
just such an emergency as has arisen.
The filter has been indifferently clean
ed and the basins allowed to silt up so
that now, when the fullest settling
capacity of the basins is most needed
not half of the daily supply of water
can be settled, the water standing in
the settling basins for only two hours
before it is pumped into the big tank
While it is generally conceded that
the city pumping plant will need some
few additions and improvements it is
also conceded that with the proper
management better service could bt
had this summer.

One of Villas Tricks is to
Scatter Army after Battle
Then Reassemble.
OFFICIALS WITHOUT
FOOD-MORALE LOW
Report Villas Men Have No
Ammunition and Throw
Away Rifles on Chase.

Ell PASO, Tex, Aug. 1.-Franciso
Villas army which advanced on
Juarez with the intention of conquer
ing northern Mexico and establishing
rebel government in the north, retir-
ed before United States troops badly
demoralized and disorganized, say de-
serters, impressed soldiers who es-
capped and civilians who saw them at
Villa Ahumada.
After two days and nights of in
termittent fighting for possession of
Juarez, Villa had depleted his ammu-
milton supply. A member of his staff
who came to the border after the re-
tirement said many of Villas men had
no ammunition. Only Villas bodyguard
had more than 100 rounds. Soldiers had
Thrown away their rifles while cross
eng the desert with the American cav
salry in pursuit.,
Villas telegrapher, who escaped
from Villa at Villa Ahumada, reported
ITO Mexican officials in Juarez that the
rebels were without food and that
their morale was very low.
= Dissensions took place among Vii
las men after the Juarez battle. Mar
tin Lopez, who led the fighting in
Juarez, is said to have denounced VIII
Ia and accused the bandit leader Of de-
ceiving his men into believing the
United States government would rec
ognize the Villa revolution and Amer
lean troops would not moIcst them
when they attacked Juarez.
Another report reaching the border
stated Villa selected 200 picked men
from his forces and started south to-
ward Parral, announcing that "he
could not fight the Americans" and
saying he was going back to the noun
tains. Villa activities in the vicinity Of
Parral, recently would tend to confirm
this report General Angeles was re-
ported to have separated from Villa
and to be hiding in the hills near the
border.
Villa partisans here denied that
Villas tricks is to scatter his forces
after battle and then resemble them
when he is ready to conduct another
campaign. Pillar de Conchos, on the
Conchos river near Parral, is said by
Villas agents here to be the rendez-
vous for Villas forces and all of his
bands are drifting in that direction.

(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, August IA
protocol defining the explanations of
terms of the German treaty and
agreed to in memorandum exchanged
between the German and Allied Plen-
ipotentares, was presented to the sem
ate, today, accompanied by an explain
atory letter from Wilson and Lans-

said it was submitted to the British

Bernard Garuch, economic advisor

FLEET DINNER
WILL COST 70
BUCKS APIECE
Twenty dollars a plate.

Twenty dollars a plate.
That's the cost of the fleet banquet
at Hotel del Coronado on the evening
of August 7. Pa and Ma must dig up
40 bucks if they want to grace the
table there, when the elite gather to
do honor to the visiting heroes of the
fleet. Ma has been kicking for a week
now, that she wanted to go, and Pa
was stalling her off, hoping something
would happen so he wouldn't have to
get the "soup and fish" outfit out of
the moth balls. Now it has happened.
Col. VIM. Clayton, in charge of the af-
fair, announces that $40 plate is the
charge.
Now Pa thinks he has an alibi. Mas
social aspirations may be of the best,
but 40 bucks-Gosh! Why that would
buy a pair of shoes, almost, and in
the old days it represented just exact
ly 800 beers!
The fleet banquet is the most talk
ed of affair in these diggins, just
now.-San Diego Sun.

A WAY TO USE
WASTE CITRUS
: HAS BEEN FOUND
United States Department of Agricul-
tire Fosters Industry for Utilizing
Gull Oranges, Lemons and Grape
fruit.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Cull or
anges, lemons and grapefruit which
were formerly wasted are now turn
cd into many useful products develop
ed by the Bureau of Chemistry, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
which is conducting experimental work
in the citrus by-products laboratory
ut Los Angeles.
The problem Of how to utilize eca-
ncmically the Gull and waste fruit bl4
came more acute each year with the
development Of the large orange and
lemon groves of California and Flori-
da. Fruit which is too small or too
large, unsightly or misshapen, can
not be sold profitably for food. Some
frnit is not fit for shipment because
of minor defects such as small bruises
