On the basis of the initial figures
officially reported to the Southern
California Liberty Loan state central
committee, Imperial county leads the
entire southern section OF the state.
These figures show a subscription for
the first days business Of 2.35 per
cent of the quota.
However, since that time both Ell
Centre city and the county have gone
on Tesistless!y toward the top, with
the result that by the close Of to-
days business it is expected the to-
tai subscriptions viii hover around
the $50 Geo mark and probably more.
Everywhere the volunteer workers
go they find the same spirit that
dominated the community during the
wal; Of meeting every call Of I'm

the wan viewpoint l. that the dough-
boys have given tire nation victory
and that the fifth and last loan is

Paris, April 23-The Italian dele.
cation to the. Peace Conference re
asserted today it determination tc
stand firm on the question of Fiume
indicating that unless the counci!
changed its position the delegation
would not return to the conference,
An early settlement of the difficul-
ty is consequently thought improb-
able, especially as President Wilson
is understood to be equally as firm
as. the Italian representatives.
With Premier Orlando still absent
Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George and President Wilson re
sumed this morning consideration Of
questions concerning China and ia
pan.
That Premier Lloyd George tried
unsuccessfully during the discussion
last night to reconcile the viewpoints
of President Wilson and Premier Or

SEELEY BOOSTSRS
START FIGHT on
HIGH WAY PLANS

At a special meeting Of the board
of directors of the Seeley Chamber
Of Commerce, held at Seeley last
night, it was decided at once to get
out petitions, addressed beth to the
Board of Supervisors and to the Coun-
ty Highway Commission, asking that
consideration be given to the West
Side in the plan for the proposed sys-
tenn Cf paved county roads.
A committee composed of Directors
d. F. HARRISON, J. d. MOughmer and
S. I. Robinson was appointed to get
out petitions and see to their circu-
lation.
The petitions will ask specifically
for road from the Mt. Signal school
house, or the end Of the proposed
road leading west from CaleXico.
northwesterly to Seeley, and for a
road north from a point on the State
Highway west of Seelev, to the Fern
schoolhouse and thence northeastern
ly to connect with the proposed roads
leading west from Imperial and Braw-
ley.
Feeling is keen on the entire West
Side over the fast that TIE West Side
has been left entirely out of the cal
cuiations of the County Highway Com
mission. Not a mile of the new
roads as proposed will be of direct
benefit to the West Side, and unless
provision is made for a West Side road
tapping the rich No. 6, No. II and
No. 8 districts and giving them ac-
cess to the San Diego & Arizona rail
way, which is soon to be COMPLETED,
the West Side promises to vote sol
idly against the road bond issue.
I'VE don't mind buying pie, but we
object to paving fer it while some
body else eats it," one of the members
declared at the meeting last night. in
summing up the feeling that has oeu-
Grated in all parts of the West Side
during the last few days.

FIRST HINDU is
A ID w / TIED TO
u. s. CITIZENSHIP

A fact of interest to the many of
the same race now working in the
Valley is that the first Hindu to be
naturalized in the federal courts of
the Southern California district was
admitted to citizenship by Judge
Benjamin r. Bledsoe yesterday in
Los Angeles The applicant was
Mohan Singh, who passed with flying
colors after a searching cross-eXam-
ination as to his qualifications for
becoming an American cIuaen.
He had never had any connection
with Hindu organizations in this coun-
try, Singh said, or with any l. w. w.
or anarchistic societies. He is, how
ever, a member of the Aero Club OF
America and an aviator by profess
sion. The newly y-fledged citizen has
an honorable discharge from the Brit
ish army, in which he served five
years. He said that he came to this
country ten years ago because he had
read so much about this country he
had learned to love it.

Writing from New York, where he
was awaiting the liner that was to

signed the important post of assist
ant state leader of farm advisers to
take up reconstruction work overseas
under the auspices of the United
States government, gives some coed
advice to the people Of this section.
Mr.. Packard had just reached the

the Interior and ether government Of

penned the latter to A. NJ. Nelson,
county development agent.
Mr.. Packard advises the sending Of
strong delegation to the national
capitol during the time of congress

soldier settlement bill, or Immediately
after its passage in the next session
of Congress, to obtain large finan-
cial apportionment for the reclama-
ton and development of the mesa

"Of course, delegations from every
section of the country will be in
Washington to obtain some of the
$100000,000 expected to be appropri-
ated under the terms of the act,

me that if a representation of good

A great portion of this land is

SOLID PATRIOTISM
BIGGEST BARGAIN

The big drive to make complete
success of the Victory Loan campaign
in Southern California is now on, and
the numerous committees, with the CO
operation of the people, are hard at
work in the various communities.
K. II. MoultOn, chairman of the Vic
tory Loan Campaign declares:
The Victory Loan is the biggest
bargain the government of the Unit
ed States has ever offered the Amer
ican people. 1t is more than that
1t is cold test of the patriotism of
every American citizen. 1t is going
to sift feversh wartime "Americans'
out of the great mass of quiet. think
ing, really patriotic Americans who
are solidly for America first, last and
all the time-Americans who know
the value of their citizenship and are
ever ready to answer its demands.
"To the real American the 3-4 per
cent and tax exemption features of
the Victory notes are minor considera
tions. The big thing is that the
000-to settle the pressing war costs.
These are the same kind of Ameri-
cans who, when we We're called to war,
Wnen we ueCldIeu WdI CWo years o'So
didn't stop to consider whether we
were right or wrong or whether they
could be manned or wounded, but quit
their jobs and answered the call to
arms.
"To these kind of Americans the
government of the United States
comes for the Victory Liberty loan.
This is the second largest loan asked.
1t will require the united efforts of
the people to make good, and every
body should respond promptly and
patriotically. The war expenses have
heen incurred and every dollar of
Americas obligation should and will
be naid in full.
thousands of posters have been
sent to every town and village in
Southern California. Read them and
act at once"

Moral BUY A
Victory Bond

A singular fate has befallen the
Jones family of three brothers.
Ed Jonese, employed at the Alamo
store, lost his right arm at the ell
how about dozen years ago, while
Charles w. Jones, who served gallant
ly with f company, 168th infantry,
in France, is back in the Valley with
his left arm gone between the elbow
and the shoulder as the result of
Hun high explosive shell.
Beth manned brothers were today
seen on the streets of Holtvile. The
other brother is still in service over
seas. The young soldier who was
wounded arrived here after a long
convalescence in the Walter Reed
general hospital at Takoma Park,
Washington, d. c. He has an hon
orable discharge from the service and
"a record fer gallant conduct on the
hattlefields of the Chemin des Danes
and Chateau Thierry. 1t was on the
latter historic field that he was
wounded on July 20, 1918.
Throughout his life the young sol
der, who is still thin and pale from
his wound aud the long confinement
in the hospital, will be paying the
price of victory with the loss of his
left arm.
One thing that the Valley people
will he buying with the money they
loan the government in the Victory
loan will be the artificial arms and
legs that Uncle Sam provides for his
manned soldiers. Young Private
Jones has already been fitted with
one. A new artificial limb must be
provided every few wears. and q
Goodly portion of the loar win go
toward this purpose.
