Gen. LudendorH
Tells Tuenon Side
OF Great War

Official circles and the general pub
lie in the United States and through
out the Allied countries are anticipat-
ing with intense inerest the appear
ance of General Ludendorff's forth
coming book in which he will reveal
the inside secrets of Germany's parti-
cipaton in the Great War. This mo-
mentous work, publication of which is
to start simultaneously in leading news
papers throughout the Allied and neu1
black veil that hitherto has hidden
tral nations, is expected to lift the
Germany's wa rsecrets from the out
side world.
In the southwest, General Luden-
dorff's expose will appear serially in
the Los Angeles Examiner exclusively,
beginning September and every day
until completed. Among other news
papers in America that will publish
Ludendorff's book are the New York
World, the Toronto Star, the Chicago
News. the Boston Post, the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger and other
prominent journals. In England it
will appear in Lord Northcliff's
newspa pers, and in Paris in LIE Temps.
Other newspapers equally prominent
will publish the book is various Allied
and neutral notians.
General Ludendorff, mare than any
other man in Germany, not excepting
the ex-Kaiser himself, is peculiarly
equipped to tell the inside Teuton war
history, for he dominated the entire
Teuton military machine, especially
toward the close of the war. When
the crash came, last November,
Ludendorff broke with the Kaiser and
Won Hindenburg, seized great mass
of official records and documents in
Berlin and fled to Sweden. There he
commenced the personal preparation
of the Forthcoming book.
Sir George Hutchinson and Lord
Northcliffe, the great London pub
fishers, went to Stockholm several
months ago, read the manuscript and
reported that it is the GREAT STORY
OF THE GERMAN SIDE OF THE
WAR. Thereupop the largest cash
advance ever made in the hisory of
the publishing business was paid for
the manuscript, the American rights
for which were secured by the Nc

MILLIONS MADE
IN OPIUM TRADE
(By Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Sept. "A ship
ment of crude opium consigned as
japanese "Cigars" was imported into
Mexico through Salina Cruz on the
3Oth of March, 1917, from Kobe, Jap
an, according to declarations made by
w. E. Hartmann, described by the
papers here as German banker" in
disposition made in court, following
a vigorous anti-opium campaign by
the press.
Except for a raid by police and
health officials and the legal inquiry
in which Hermann figured, the opium
expose has not been pressed in the
courts. Although Hermann, in his
disposition, did not give the size of
the shipment imported in 1917, the
newspapers declare it totaled 5000
Kilograms and that, at present prices,
was valued at 100000 pesos. In
the raid crude opium valued at $4,000
sands of tiny empty tins, supposedly
sands oof tiny empty tins, supposedly
used for retailing the prepared drug,
were found.
According to. the newspapers, the
profits of the opium trade, on the one
shipment refereed to, ran into mil
lions of pesos. 1t is said that an in
volved system of smuggling resulted
in most Of the narcotic being sold in
the United States. 1t was hipped as
CIGARS" sent over the line in auto
mobiles equipped with double gaso-
line tanks and carried across in hand
baggage by band of Germans ac-
cording to the revelations here.
Since the Mexican law does not pro-
ribit importations of opium, the Fed
eral department of health being con-
cerned only in it's sale, the drug deal
ers confined their. operations to sales
by devious methods in the United
States. Branches of the organization
are said to have operated at Nuevo
Laredo, Mex, New York and San
Francisco.
During their campaign against the
traffic, the papers printed charges
and names of personages as though
libel laws did not exist.

'SH|b[EY SAYS
ARE
GOING IN I D.
OTHER LINES

"There is teacher shortage here
as everywhere" said A. P. Shibley,
county superintendent of schools to-
day.
"Teacher shortage means short
age in the supply of competent teach
ers. There is enough of the other
kind in the same degree that the sup
plyof inefficient ones is to be found
in other vocations and industries. In
order to. get teachers of the proper
qualifications you have to pay the
price and the price the public is will
ing to pay lags behind the increased
cost of living.
'War conditions greatly increased
the demand for competent teachers
by greatly enlarging the scope of edu-
cation and also by calling many quail
fed teachers into other walks of life
which have proved more remunerative
to them. The shortafe in the number
of competent teachers, in the belief
of those who understand educational
conditions is likely to diminish thru
desertion for other employments un-
less there is decided increase in
compensation.
Mr.. Shibley and family motored to
the Yosemite Valley where he parti-
cipated in deliberations of the State
Teachers Convention.
81 would like to make a word pic
ture of the wonders of the valley" he
said, "but if l could do it, I would
tave a right to a place in the hall
of fame"
S. F. Bonney, superintendent of the
Brawley district was also in attendance
upon the convention and is back at
his desk preparing for the new schooi

HOLDING Up
FIXING Of.
TAX RATES. [:

Brawley cemetery is casting dark
shadow over the official path of Audi
tor Carey and the Supervisors of I'M
perial Caunty.
An ordinary shadow is something
ever which one may walk with ease
and impunity but this is no ordinary
shadow. 1t is materialized in an
obstacle that is holding up the fixing
of the tax rate in several school dis
tricts. The dead, unknowingly, rest
peacefully in their graves but the
faithful Carey who holds the long
distance record of never having been
absent from the Valley for longer
stretch than a week for seventeen
years, is in much grief over the un-
defined limits Of the resting place of
the dead.
The root of this difficulty Is in tn,
failure of the State law to empower
the Assessor to ascertain certain
special tax rates while he is making
up the assessment rolls but thrusts
this duty upon the Auditor who has
only a limited time to do it. The
Brawley Cemetery Association was
formed under one State law which
provides for its support by taxation.
The school districts are formed and
governed by numerous other laws,
one of which makes each school dis
trict carry its own tax burden for
the various public utilities within it's
border. The Brawley cemetery
spreads itself over number of the
school districts. The auditor oes not
yet know how many but he thinks
nine or ten. 1t is his duty to find out
how much of the cemetery is in each
school district and to fix the valua-
ton of each Of these subdivisions of
the cemetery in order that there may
be a just subdivision of the cemetery
rate among the several school dis
tricts.
TIE simple way in which this sub
division, valuation and taxable fixing
is herein described may make it ap-
pear to be very simple job but the
Auditor, who is the best authority
on the subject, knows better. He
does not know why this trial and tri-
bulation has been brought upon him
by careless legislators. He does not
know when he will be able to make
an equitable distribution of this tax
rate and therefore thesupervisors do
not know when they will be able to
make an equitable distribution of this
tax rate and therefore the supervisors
do not know when they will be able
to fix these several tax rates
