Coddling The Stacker.

Some grotesque things are happen
ing in connection with the demobiliza-
ton of American soldiers. Take an
every day oeeurance at Camp Funs-
ton as an instance.
The loyal soldier who has fought in
France must buy his own civilian
clothing when he comes out of the
army. He can keep his uniform for
few months if he desires, but most
men want to get back into a civilian
outfit. So he is discharged without
his old time clothing allowance and
spends what he has saved from his
pay with the clothier.
At Camp Funston they have
large number of conscientious OBJ
jectors," and mingled with these are
others, parading themselves as !. w.
W., international Socialists" and
plain disloyalists. Be it remembered
that the honest conscientious objec-
tor" is a rare bird in these camps.
These beings were drafted into the
army. They wouldn't drill, they
wouldn't wear uniform, they
wouldn'a battle and their uncleanliness
was nauseating. They were, and are,
disloyalists, traitors, many of them
creatures of that Potsdam gang that
is no more.
Nevertheless, when these gentry are
discharged from the army they are
taken by representative of the gov
ernnsnt and given a full outfit of
clothing, hat, suit, shoes, socks,
underwear, shirt, collar, gloves and
even a necktie!
They have been drawing their $50
ii month army pay, the same pay that
a loyal American fighting man was
given. Furthermore, there is no rec
ord that any of these Collectors" even
objected to drawing that $50 per. Of
course every man of them got dis
honorable discharge, conduct bad"
when they were let go. That worries
them not at all. They managed to
keep their precious hides out of shrap-
mel range while the better men died.

some strange things. Just what

WASHINGTON NOTES
Big Business" For Sure.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-(Special cor
respondence)-Theu uses to which lump
sums placed in the hands OF the Presi-
dent for "the national security and
defense" in times of emergency may
be put, are varied and devious. Dur
ing the campaign of Henry Ford for
the Senate he was handed contract
for 1l2 eagle boats at minimum es-
timated cost of $275,OOO each, since
revised to S425 900, all to be paid from
the $100,000,000 emergency fund in
the custody of Mr. Wilson.
1t now appears that $5.O00.O00 more
of that sum has been invested in stock
of the "War Trade Board of the Unit
ed States Russian Bureau Unc.)", in
.corporated under the laws of the State
of Connecticut. The purposes of this
concern, as outlined in the articles of
Incorporation, read like the imaginings

Gil Rhodes, says a prominent member

ing the financial returns Of its mem-

EX-GOVERNOR
K|BBEY At
IRRIGATION
MEETING

Ex-Governor J. II. Kbbey, of Phoe
nix, Arizona, was an interested listener
at the joint meeting of the State dele.
cation and the Imperial irrigation dis
trict this morning.
The Governor" as his friends call
him has long been a resident of Arizona
and has been through the development
stages of a country very similar to I'm
Derial county. He believes that the
people of the Valley ar on the right
track for the solving of their water
problems and particularly so when
they sought and obtained the coopera-
ton of the American Legion for the
passage of the kettner bills.
Mr. Kibbey is here visiting his son,
Walter kibbey who will leave shortly
for Washington as member of the
Imperial Valley delegation. The Cover
nor is hale and hearty practices law
and is interested in politics although
he has no political asperations of his
own. To a Press representative, he
said: Yes young man | am staunch for
my party. | am making no predictions
for the outcome of the 1920 campaign,
and after | lost out in 1916 when | ran
for Unied Saes senator, | decided that
| had ridden my last political horse"

MEADE WANTS
Of
MINNEAPOLIS
CONFERENCE.

Indicative Of the Importance with
which the necessity for harmonious
union is held between the various
state departments Interested in irri-
cation and the Imperial irrigation dis
trict to the end that the Kettner bill
as amended may be passed, is the visit
here Of DR.. Elwocd Meade.
There are two great fundamental
reasons" said Dr. Meade this morn
ing, why the Kettner bill should pass.
The first is the needs of the settled
portions of Imperial valley, and the
second is that the present plan is the
first trought out soldiers and sailors
settlement on public lands, also that
the lands available in Imperial valley
are tie largest and best bodies of land
available for tht purpose"
Dr.. Meade is here as member
of large delegation which includes
in its personnel representatives Of
practically every state department
that is in any way concerned with the
passage of the Kettncr bill. The pur-
pose of the meeting today between the
delegation and the irrigation district
was to secure, if possible, strong
representation, the members of which
are to present the merits of the SOL
diers' and sailors settlement on In
perial valley lands tc the national con-
cfrence of the American Legion, to be
held in Minneapolis the latter part of
this week.
Dr. Meade is firmly convinced that
congress in the coming session will be
largely influenced by the desires Of
the American Legion, and tha- an en-
dorscment from the national organiZa-
tion Of the American Legion favoring
the Kettner bill will insure their pas
sage.

At one time during the interview
Governor Cantu became so insensed at
the conditions of affairs as laid before
him by Mayor Abbott that he rapidly
smoked several cigarettes dropping

stamped out the fire with his foot,

Cov. Cantu. Says Lost Aviators
Died of Thirst And Bodies Were
Mutilated By Coyotes---Not Slain

Governor Cantu, Of the northern
district of Lower California, late Sat-
urGay stated it was his "hOnest BELIEF
that Lieutenants Cecil II. Connolly
and Frederick Waterhouse, lost Amer
ican aviators, whose bodies were found
on the shores of Los Animas bay, met
their death from thirst and that CO.
votes later mutilated their bodies, in
stead of the lieutenants being murder
ed as Major Rufus Bratton, in charge
Of the American expectation, which
returned to San Diego last Sunday, re-
ported.
''The report was given out that they
had been stabbed by Mexicans," the
governor said, "and I consider that a
reflection on the Mexicans in that
country. There are not Mexicars liv-
ing in that immediate section and they
are not wild savages to commit deed
like that. l received a report from
Benjamin S. Arguello, former mayor
of Mexicali and now stationed at San
Felipe, that there is no habitation
within miles and miles Of that spot,
and there is nothing but desert, desert,
desert; the country is infested with
coyotes, that are just Us bad as
wolves, and it is my honest belief that
when the .aviators perished from thirst
the coyotes came and chewcd up the
bodies. A report has come to me
from the American side of the line
that one head was found Is feet from
the bodies, and this bears out my
statement that it was coyotes and not
Mexicans who mutilated the bodies.

A committee of five was later ap-
pointed to prepare series of sug-
gested steps for the second delega-
tion to work on. These will be pre-
sented at the meeting tomorrow morn
ing Of the Imperial irrigation district
board.

During the course of the meeting.
an invitation was extended on behalf
of the Imperial irrigation district
board for the invited guests. the COM
mittee of Is. and the board to lunch
together today at the Barbara Worth
hotel. This was accepted.
At o'clock this afternoon, ma
chimes were at the district offices and
the visitors were taken OH a tour of
the Valley in order that thev might
become better acquainted with actual
conditions.
The meeting was harmonious in
every respect. A genuine feeling was
present to do the best possible for the
Valley, and there were even no radical
differences of opinion on how this
should be done. The Importance of
the American Legion convention at
Minneapolis was emphasized.
The conference this morning was
very important and it is felt that a
great amount of good has been &C.
complshed.

district of Lower California, the details
OF which were completed Saturday be
tween Mayor Casey Abbott of CaleNico
and Governor Esteban Cantu of the
northern district.
Eight robberies in CaleXico Fr!-

Mexical have aroused both Mayor Alb
bott and Governor Cantu to the emer-
gencies of the situation. Houses ran
sacked. doctors offices broken into
and more than $500 worth of rare rugs
taken from the home of Lieutenant
Saunders of Camp John IL. Beacon, to-
gether with a carnival of crime such as
the border has neNer seen added to the
gravity of the situation.
Mavor Abbott made formal call on
the governor and laid the facts before
him. stating that in his belief it was
the work of an organized gang of hop
heads, and dope-fiends. Governor Cantu
expressed his surprise and stated that
these matters had never been brought
to his personal attention until this
time.
II will instruct my Inspector of po
lice to round up the vagrants in Mex
