MEMBER ENGLISH
NOBILITY VISITS
VALLEY RANCHES

After completing two-day tour of
Imperial Valley, Sir Robert Balfour
Of London, accompanied by John
Lawson, president of the Balfour-
Guthrei company, left last evening for
Los Angeles for a two weeks rest
before leaving for England.
Sir Robert Balfour, although rs
years of age, has the appearance and
vitality of man much younger in
years, and played a very important
part in the early day of California
development. 1t was during the Civil
War that the foundation of the pres
ent Balfour-Guthrie Company were
laid, and the continued growth of
the concern from that time until the
present has been ample proof of the
stability and sound business judg-
ment of Sir Robert.
Just what the purpose of the pres
ent visit here signifies is more or
less matter of conjecture, put suf-
flee it to state that the Balfour- -Guth-
re Company are operating a 10000
acre ranch near Calipatria. Practi-
cally every phase of Imperial Valley
farming is represented on this ranch.
The freight records show that more

prise for Imperial Valley.
J. E. O'Neil of Calipatria, manager
of the company holdings here, stated
that this is the first visit of Sir Rob-
ert Balfour to the valley and his first
appearance in the States for several
wears.

Washington, April 22.-Administra-
ion officials were advised today in a
confedial telegram from Paris that
in consideration of the problems con-
fronting the Peace Conference, such
as Italy's Adriatic claims and the
question of an alliance to protect
France from future aggression, Pres
ident Wilson will take no action which
might in the slightest degree jeopar-
die the League of Nations or con-
flict with its fundamental principles.
The message was in reply to ca
blegram of inquiry regarding the pres
ident's attitude toward the secret al
lance which, according to certain
newspapers is contemplated in spe-
cial defensive pact by France, Great
Britain and the United States.
The outcome of the apparent dead
lock over Italy's Adriatic claims is
awaited in official circles with evident
anxiety. The situation, as pictured
in the press dispatches, is regarded
as serious.
There was no message from Paris
yesterday or today similar to those
of last week reporting gratifying
progress at the peace table.

instrumental in bringing about the
decision of the Allied Powers to ig-

Red Cross Wit Make Collection For
Allied Countries.

A drive will be made next week,
from March Attn TO the 3lst, for mil
lions of old clothes. The week has
been set for a nation wide collection
by the American Red Cross OF used
clothing and those in Bennington,
and it should mean everyone, who
can give articles are requested to
leave them in the basement of the
high school or in the rooms of the
Catholic Woman's Service League.
II it is not convenient to bring the
articles to the rooms, persons may
telephone 12O or 99-M and the gar.
ments will be called for.
Aside from clothing, shoes and
blankets are needed for the refugees
of allied countries. freed from the
grip of autocracy. Every Red Cross
chapter will be asked to assist in
the mammoth undertaking. Minimum
allotments, based on national total
of 10000 tons of garments, have
been assigned each division, and it
is expected that the success that
attended the campaign for the Belgi.
ans will be duplicated.
Reports from Red Cross represen-
tatiyes abroad; from Herbert Hoover
head of the European Relief Admins
tration, and from other sources. agree
that one of the most serious problems
faced by millions OF men, women
and children in northern France,
Italy, Czecho-Sloyakia, Belgium. Ser
bia, Roumania. Greece and other AL
lied countries in the Near East is
that of clothing. In many places the
Teutons absolutely ruined the textile
industries, making II impossible for
the people to help themselves. even
though they had raw materials. Ac-
cordingly, they must look to the out.
side world. and principally America,
for assistance.

WAR RISK BUREAU

LACK OF FUNDS

CONGRESS is BLAMED
II Failed to Pass Appropriation Bills,
And This Holds Up Relief Pledg.
ed by Government.

Washington, March 17.--Failure
of Congress to pass the General De-
iiciency and Sundry Civil Appropria-
tion bills has created such a grave
situation for the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance OF the Treasury Depart
ment that Secretary Glass has been
compelled by the situation TO com
municate the facts to President viii
son at Paris.
lie has asked the President to set
aside more than S3,000,000 from his
War Emergency Fund TO cover the
cost of continuing the operations of
the Bureau for the next few months.
The work of this bureau, one of the
most important established in the
Government under the exigency OF
war, is threatened with paralysis
through impending lack of funds. II
has enough on hand to pay its payroll
for the balance Of the month OF
March. There are approximately
1900 employees in the bureau, force
built up and specially trained for the
work of attending to the payment OF
soldiers insurance, compensation and
allowances for their families, as we'll
as for families OF marines and sail
ors. Failure of the General Defcien-
cy bill cuts eff the current expenses
of the bureau even for the ordinary
payroll.
But even greater importance than
this Is that fact that the failure Of the
Sundry Civil bill threatens stoppage
of allowances OF the families and
other dependents OF soldiers, sailors,
and marines. because Congress, after
the Government had forced the men
of its armed forces into contracts
and had catered iEto solemn con
tract with each soldiers sailor, and
marine to make good the allowances
fulfilling its contract to the extent OF
OF their families. adjourned without
making appropriations
