In several ingenious ways they de-

The result was a greatly chagrined
audience which retaliated with bonn

laudable motive of giving Elmira q

His reward was grateful audience

to think that the film producers

for the change.
AS a matter of fact, the films was
first given the title Saturday to Mon

announcements were sent out a storm
Of protest was heard from prominent
all over the country.
They feared that their patrons
might confuse the name of the attrac-

Hence there was hurried change.

Melting of Shows in the
Colorado Rockies Sends
an Unprecedented Volume
of Water Down River.

With the melting of the deep SHOWS
atop the Colorado Rockies the volume
of water flowing down the Colorado
river is increasing so rapidly that by
Saturday observers for the Imperial
Irrigation District anticipate flow
Of 10000 seeOnd-feet.
This, in their opinion, is undOubt
edly the second wave, the first arriv-
ing about week ago, when flow
OF $1,000 feet was registered. To-
day the measurement is slightly more
than 32 900 second-feet. While the
situation may be serious for few
days. no danger is anticipated by rea-
son Of the high water.
The directors of the District, at
their regular meeting today, arranged
for a trip TO Yuma on May 10 for a
conference with the officers and di-
rectOrs Of the Yuma Water Users
Association on the weir situation. At
this meeting decision will be reached
concerning the present structure.
Another important action of the
board was ordering the dispatch of
copies Of the instructions recently Civ
en to Attorney Phil ID. Swing. who
is in Washington to enlist government
air and finances for the construction
Of the All-American canal, to. the
Chambers Of Commerce of San Diego
and Los Angeles.
These influential organizations will
be asked To go on record in favor of
the project and to request their con-
gressional representatives to lend all
assistance possible in bringing the
plans of the Valley to an early ma
terisliLation.
The board will go 10 Los Angeles
for a meeting on May %, at which
time the terms for the taking up of
debenture bonds Of Water Company

District, will ne discussed.

Berlin, May 13.-Even If important
changes are not made by negotiations
at Versailles, there remains no choice
now but to bow to compulsion and
sign the treaty, says an anneal of the
central committee of the Independent
Socialist party published today, which
adds:
"Not signing means retention OF
our prisoners, occupation of our raw
material districts, Tightening of the
blockade, unemployment, hunger and
death en- masse.'
The appeal continued "lts proleter-
lat would suffer most terribly from
the consequences. Peace, as hard and
oppressive as it may be, is neces-
sary assumption for the possibility
of rebuilding our social and economic
life in the spirit of the revolutionary
prcleteriat."
The appeal was prefaced by denun-
citation of the severity of the peace
terms and concludes with demand
for the workmen of all countries to
unite against capitalism for a world
revolution.
